“Yes, Mama,” Nico said, rolling his eyes slightly as his mother gave him a hug, all teenage grumbling without the true heart behind it.

Truth be told, he was nervous about going up to the surface world. He’d spent most of his time in the Underworld with his family, rather than traveling above to see just where all the dead happened to come from. But now his mother and father agreed he was of age, hoping to present him to the other Olympians during the Winter Solstice on Mount Olympus itself.

Nerves jangled around his belly, troubled by the uncertainty of the situation. He didn’t think he would end up having to do much in the way of responsibility, just appear respectable and be nice to all the people he was going to meet. Although it would definitely be more people than he’d ever met before.

“I’ll miss you.”

Women were never created from men's ribs, not ever. It is HE who emerges from HER womb. Framing the father as the life giver is a patriarchal lie, it's not true.

with how unreliable all those narrators are, the whole season might actually be a bored dreamstat’s amusing little daydream

Game-night in the batfamily has got to be crazy. You're putting a bunch of geniuses against each other and that's asking for chaos to happen.

If people learned what words meant before using them, I think a lot less people would be using proship to mean problematic shipping.

The parallel of Simon forgetting Betty as a result of going mad and Betty going mad as a result of not being able to forget Simon and yet both of their insanity manifests in an inherent obsession with the other will continue to make me lie awake at night

Making a list as a feminist practice:

So something I started doing about a fortnight ago that I'm having a lot of fun with is just making a list on my phone every time I learn about a woman (in history or present day) who has done something cool or notable!

It's like a little side quest to me! Every time I see a woman mentioned in a book or online, I get to look her up, learn about her life, and add her to the list! And it's only been a few weeks but it's already getting quite long :)

Looking back at the list and remembering all of these women who have made such great (and often overlooked) contributions to history, science, art, literature, activism, etc etc etc, makes me so proud. It inspires me to do something with my own life.

I thought about including a short blurb next to each woman, but it's almost more fun to just try and remember myself. That way, if I ever forget, I have to look them up again and I get to re-learn about their lives, making it more likely that I'll remember them in the long term :)

Obviously the list is non-inclusive, but I wanted to share anyway because it's been such a fulfilling feminist practice for me. I hope someone reads this and decides to make their own, but if not, then I dare everyone reading this to pick an unfamiliar name from this list and learn something new!

Also please feel free to reblog this with your own additions!

Nah cuz I been clockin the hatred of men as anti-Black anti-Indigenous and transphobic from day one. I’m HORRIFIED by the beliefs/attitudes and mistreatment of (trans, queer, third and cultural gender) men of color that I witness from radfems and TERFs, AND everyday (predominantly yt) queer ppl. Queer men of color and third gender men have been subjected to this abusive treatment for so long that we have become ashamed to be queer ashamed to be proud as men who are attracted to men. I shouldn’t have to hide the fact that I’m attracted to men. I shouldn’t have to feel shame for the fact that I’m attracted to men, have relationships with men, and love being with and identifying as a man. being a man of color is beautiful. Being a man does not make you evil, an abuser, or a bad person. Being a man does not have to be restricted to colonial gender binaries and constructs. We can build our own cultural, traditional masculinities and manhoods that are liberating, not oppressive. claiming that manhood and masculinity are inherently violent is race and gender essentialism.
