Since I've had the time, I've been going through my own personal shit to do with mental health - the aftermath of my childhood SA, for a start, and what thought patterns and beliefs I could unlearn from them. Won't go too much into it, but damn there's been a lot to unravel recently...
In the meantime, I've been having several dreams involving a certain Mr. Neil Gaiman - a naïvely placed favourite of mine. And in short, I just want to say;
Tumblr media
Everything about him makes me deeply uncomfortable now especially considering what I've pushed away and not dealt with for so long.
It might seem like I'm making it personal but there are thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of women and girls in the world who go through this awful fucking shit on a daily basis and I've just about had enough of it.
You might be pleased to know I screamed and yelled and fucking got every last little thing out that I had to. I'm proud dream me had the courage to stand up to such a disgusting man, even if it was in my head. Nobody, but nobody should be put through the shit he's pulled. And damn it was cathartic even in my subconscious to completely destroy him. It felt like a little bit of closure for me at least. Then the news that's come out about his NDAs??? Suing people?? Honestly just choke.

Poli-ticking Time Bomb
I work for an environmental nonprofit, and we have stop work orders. On the day of the federal funding freeze, construction crews were in the water removing a dam. We still don't know if we will get reimbursed for that project. Other projects are just indefinitely on hold. These are projects that we were granted funding for.
Our leadership team has been telling us to use different wording. We can't use wording that could be seen as "exclusionary." Which just means we can't highlight women, BIPOC, or LGBT people in any way. They changed Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" online with the caveat that the parts of our organization that work outside of the US will continue using the correct name.
My neighbor is worried about potentially losing her job, as the GOP has proposed cutting all medicaid funding for telehealth services.
My dude works in industrial food. 80% of our garlic comes from China. So many of our ingredients, fruits, vegetables are not grown on US soil. His customers are freaking out about tariffs and trying to find ways to buy what they need now and buy cold storage somewhere just to have it.
I'm struggling to see how even the most loyal Trump supporters are seeing positives in the flurry of shit he is shoveling onto us.
Every day I am so mad. I send emails to reps, but I'm loosing track of what I've even sent emails about. When I work myself up to it, I make calls. There are too many things to try to fight. I know it's a numbers game, so I don't plan on stopping, but goddamn.
Fuck them. Fuck them for making our jobs harder and firing so many people. Fuck them for making trans lives harder. Fuck them for making living in America worse and for I don't even know what will happen in Gaza. I wish only bad things on our current regime and the billionaire fuckwads.
I don't know how to end this other than to say, I hope you are doing okay. I hope your community makes you feel welcome and safe. And if you are a Trump/Elon supporter absolutely fuck right off.

Even if we're not going to see a dismantling of the system or liberation for actively colonized people in our lifetime, we need to be moving like we are. Yall love to bring up the Panthers and the Black Power movement, but they moved that way BECAUSE they thought they were going to see an end to the system in their lifetimes, and even after COINTELPRO and the "death of socialism", they still moved like their children or grandchildren would see that world. I think we get too bogged down in being "realistic" because Neoliberalism makes it so we can't imagine a world without it. We have to think bigger.

hey just for the record, if you’re on r/ao3 and keep running into these kinds of comments on bookmark related posts — it’s not a good take. calling someone’s writing “slop” and saying it deserves criticism for being bad BECAUSE it’s posted publicly might seem like a nuanced take, but I promise it isn’t.
yes, sometimes us writers get a little too obsessed over a cryptic comment or bookmark; no, that doesn’t actually mean the solution is to say whatever you want in them because authors “deserve” your honesty. 
I know we’re in a touchy time for readers and writers, but comments like these are NOT kind, refreshing, or nuanced. they’re just kind of mean and discouraging.

dick grayson in fanon: sweet silly older brother, pretty but stupid, favourite child, happy robin, basically batman 2.0 but a nice person, his brothers are more skilled and could outpace him but they love him anyways, goody-two-shoes, good relationship with batman, responsible eldest child, mentally stable and supportive
dick grayson in canon:
became robin so he wouldnt commit first degree murder
like all of his appearances young justice season 1 are about how hes a maniac and a genius
leader and strategist of the teen titans
actually Murdered the joker
considered an equal by the worlds most dangerous and deadly mercenary
was literally fired by batman and only really continued working w him because of jason and babs
managed to keep up with angsty new-to-the-job batman
has had so many arguments with bruce its a miracle he hasnt cut him off forever (hes tried though)
can take down the entire teen titans if he wanted despite being the only one of them with no superpowers/abilities
was the definition of angsty teenager
inherits his insane paranoia from bruce
a thread away from breaking the no-kill rule, give him a rest
hes literally feral guys i mean cmon

Ok, good. You're using her pronouns, and you're doing it consistently. That's... better.
But are you using her adjectives? Her nouns? Do you call her girl, woman, lady, wife, mom, girlfriend, and everything else when it's appropriate? Are you giving her her appropriate context when you're talking to her and about her, or are you just carefully gender neutralizing everything else so that those pronouns stand the fuck out like mad when they happen and make everyone including her feel like you're emphasizing stuff weird?

Remember how you felt at your highest number?
Remember how you felt at your lowest number?
That should be enough motivation.
