Ace&Aro self-love poetry workshop (Feb 11, 2-4:30pm) -- no ASL interpretation
For this Sunday's in-person meetup for ace and/or arospec (and questioning folks), Toronto Aces & Aros is bringing you a poetry workshop about self-love by one of our members. Free to attend and no prior experience necessary!
(We will be rescheduling the zine-making for another time when we can arrange ASL interpretation.)
Self-love poetry workshop Sunday, February 11, 2024 (2-4:30pm) 519 Church St., room 304
** Workshop Description**
This workshop (by Jamie Quinn Mader) allows participants to explore poetry & creative writing around self-love by crafting love letters to ourselves.
So often love poetry is about obsession with romantic partners or people we wish to be with. This poetry focuses on our relationships with ourselves and invites participants to think of themselves as desirable & loveable to ourselves.
This workshop guides participants through a few activities to help them:
to understand the mechanics of poetry
to foster a sense of compassion and care for themselves rather than a romantic partner.
Participants will be able to work with their peers as well as present any works they want to share.
** Accessibility at the 519 **
ramp to enter, power doors, elevator inside and accessible all-gender washrooms
near Wellesley station (which has an elevator)
we ask everyone to wear masks

Dick Grayson's unmatched success as a child vigilante makes a lot more sense when you remember the Court of Owls was a thing and that Dick was meant to be the next Grey Son.
There is no way that someone at Haly's Circus wasn't there keeping an eye on him while he grew up. A future weapon needs to be trained and monitored after all, and a circus, a place where weird skills are completely normal, is actually a great place to secretly train a child.
You know, just some knife tricks that translated really well into actual fighting. How to get out of restraints and pick locks while under a time limit. Death defying acrobatic stunts that coincidentally do wonders for parkouring. That sort of thing. Nothing that seems out of place for a boy growing up around circus performers to learn, but would literally any where else.
I mean, while I fully believe that most kids would want to kill the man responsible for their parents deaths, Dick was weirdly prepared to go through it. He tracked down Zucco with way more ease than any normal child should have too. He became the first child vigilante, for goodness sake. The first Robin! He only started getting formal training after he basically forced Bruce into it!
Bruce himself has no idea that this kind of competency in a child is unusual, considering he was much too blinded by the similarities between his and Dick's tragic orphanhoods.
Alfred is in a similar boat because he’s desensitized to weird children after he somehow managed to successfully raise Bruce 'The Batman' Wayne, so he doesn't clock the hyper-competency as abnormal either.
By the time the other batkids start popping up (Jason 'The Audacity' Todd, borderline-street rat with no fear) (Tim 'the greatest stalker in Gotham history' Drake, child genius, also bullied his way into becoming Robin) (Barbara 'raised by the only uncorrupt cop in gotham' Gordon) (Stephanie 'daddy issues and spite' Brown) (Duke 'Pretends he's the normal one and people believe him' Thomas) it's too late.
It would also explain how Dick got along so well with Damian out of all of them. Similar childhood with different approaches and all that. On some subconscious level, Dick recognises and resonates with the murderous ten year old assassin with strong familial ties to a secret elite assassin organization.
It isn't until after the whole Court of Owls and Grey Son reveal that suddenly Dick realises a whole lot of things about his childhood that suddenly make a lot more sense.

This was tagged as butch bait, so I presume this is a jest post and I decided not to reblog directly from the original poster because of this. However butches and gender nonconforming women almost NEVER get shown as old in media, and our beautiful middle aged (and older!) butches never get to the public eye!
There is a future for butch and gnc women. We can grow old and be ourselves, without changing a thing. So I present to you pictures of older butch and gnc women!

queer themes in x-men my beloved. Angel binding his wings. Bobby’s parents asking if he’s tried just not being a mutant. Nightcrawler and catholic guilt. The existence of cherik. Everything with Scott/Jean/Logan. Mystique and Destiny.
