Posted this on the bird site too, but just in case it was ever in question…
If you create dark/Dead Dove content? We’re cool.
If you like and consume dark/Dead Dove content? We’re cool.
If you don’t like dark/Dead Dove content, but keep that fact to yourself? We’re cool.
If you hate dark/Dead Dove content and want to make sure everyone and their brother knows it, including sending hateful messages and comments to the other types of people I previously mentioned? Maybe stop, take a deep breath (or two), chill out, and try to focus your energy into something you love instead. Something positive, and personally fulfilling.
Not everything is about you, nor does everything require your input or attention. It’s okay to leave things be if they don’t vibe with you, I promise.
Fandom is supposed to be fun. When you act a fool, you make things decidedly unfun.
Peace and love ❤️💖💕

okay so pet peeve is people getting really uppity about people having a wrong idea of a comic book character because "the comic that idea comes from is bad/wrong/a retcon."
on one hand, yes, that sucks and I hate it too!! I've complained about that very thing.
on the other. that's the fault of the people making the comics, not the people who read them. you get that, right?
no one is actually obligated to do the research and read what you consider to be the correct versions of that character and fix their mindset. if a person reads a shitty version of that character and forms ideas based on that then?? that's a shame but it's not a fucking crime. where do some of you people get off attacking and shaming people for reading canon material and treating it like it's canon? you may not like it. it may ruin that person's experience with that character. that sucks but they didn't actually do anything wrong and they aren't stupid just cause that's the version of that media they happened to engage with.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

looking at (vetted) gofundmes for people trying to escape palestine and i don't know how many of you actually click on the gofundme links you reblog but i would like to point out, for what it's worth, just how amazing it is that so many have raised so much money. it may overall feel like a drop in the ocean but the fact that several gofundmes have raised tens of thousands of dollars is amazing. it is so expensive to leave gaza right now, and people still need money after they escape. but regardless of what propaganda the US, UK, canada, and other western nations are trying to pump out, people across the world are doing what they can to help these people survive. many of them are still very far from their goals (like this one and this one and this one) and some of them are very close to high goals (like this one), and some of them have reached almost double their original goal.
and that's not even addressing direct aid or organizations that take continuous donations for distribution of food, menstrual products, etc. the PCRF has raised $16,000,000 of their target goal of $20,000,000 to fund current aid and long-term relief efforts in gaza. ANERA's febuary 13th update discusses the material ways they helped palestinians today:
(ANERA donate link)
my point is, it often feels like the world is turning a blind eye to palestine. but i would like to point out that there is an important difference between "the world" and "western political leaders and media narratives". a breathtaking amount of real people, the people who make up the world, are trying to help. in the face of israel attempting to commit genocide, the world is saying No. These people deserve to live. and literally sending millions of dollars internationally, through the internet connection that israel has desperately been trying to destroy.
it may not feel like it matters in the grand scheme of things. but to the people who get fresh clothes, or a hot meal, or blankets, or the kids who get new toys, or to the people who are able to bring their families to safety, it matters to them. go make someone's day better. i've linked so many options with ways to do that.
