why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

Headcanon that when Jason so much as says “ow..” on the comms the rest of the batfam immediately assume he must be dying.

The mind numbing anger of chronic fatigue is getting irritable because you're so fucking tired but you really feel like you SHOULDNT BE.
You SHOULD be able to sit at a desk and do work. You SHOULD be able to just watch a freaking YouTube video. You SHOULD be able to just eat fucking lunch.
But you can't. Because your eyes are closing and it's like temporary death is taking you.

there's something so raw and soul crushing about spending your late childhood+teen years suicidal then growing up and actually wanting to live, after an ungodly effort, only to see your health deteriorate because of chronic illness.

france is burning.
667 people were arrested last night. they are curfews in place. public transport is partially closed at night.
nahel, a 17-year-old, was shot tuesday by the police during a traffic stop. he wasn't violent or armed, he wasn't a threat. but he broke the law and tried to drive away, so the cops killed him.
and now france is rioting.
there is a video so the government isn't trying to deny the facts for once. but the minister of the interior (in charge of the police) still insist that the police shot less people since the 2017 law on public safety.
but an analysis of police statistics by Le Monde, the most read newspaper in france, says otherwise. when the police shot on average 250 people each year in the five years prior to 2017, that number became 297 after 2017. for shots fired specifically on moving vehicles, the average used to be 119 and it's now 150. before 2017, there was an average of 0.06 deaths per shot. now it's 0.32.
more than ever, the police shoots to kill.
so france is burning.

alright but we all agree that death absolutely knows where the boys are, yeah? i think she just enjoys their shenanigans. they’re her favourite gay little soap opera she likes to watch with a glass of wine when a long day’s reaping is done. she’s been cheering for them to kiss since season 5

A call for attention!!
Guys, the numbers for "Dead Boy Detectives" are bad, which puts us in the threat of cancelation.
This is a show with primarily non-white cast, of various identities with explicitly queer storylines. No queerbaiting or "maybe we can hc them as x or y". Real stories.
It's a fun show, too, to say the least. I know it is discouraging to keep talking about numbers, but the reality is that we need them.
Binge the show, tell your friends, tell your family, play it in the background as noise, let's rack up those numbers.
We and every queer kid after us deserve to see stories about them told in the most fantastical, spooky setting.
It would also be a wonderful plus to see Desire and the Cat King together, would it not?
+ look at them. Why would you disappoint them?
