Superman isn't woke. You're just so evil that you see a man doing acts of kindness and you think it's a targeted political agenda

I assure you: somebody, somewhere, is on the exact same wavelength as you are.

The only reason why transphobes always ask “what is a woman” instead of “what is a man” is because we all know that a man is a featherless biped.

i have a lot of beef with people in fandom, especially The Batman fandom, who want to keep fandom apolitical. fandom is inherently political. art is inherently political.

now more than ever we need people to stop prioritizing their comfort and privilege by avoiding discussions of politics. yes, we all need some elements of escapism so we can recharge and engage in our forms of activism, but read. the fucking. room. that doesn’t mean refusing to ever discuss politics, share resources, or harassing members of your community who dare call out a lack of political engagement.

in times such as these, fascism needs to be deliberately named and blatantly called out. it can and should be happening on our personal, non-fandom accounts, but it should exist here, too. if you have a problem with people being political in fandom, or you yourself hardly-to-never engage with politics in fandom spaces, you’re being complicit, and centering your privilege.

if you feel called out by this post, take a minute, and take a breath. think of it like a call in. this is a reminder for everyone to do better, and have those hard conversations with themselves and their community members. it’s disgusting some of the rhetoric I’ve seen on here from people with significant platforms who only ever want things to be ‘fun’ here. you can be fun and be an ally. you can be fun and ensure your page is a safe space through basic political engagement and community care (i’m talking even a simple reblog now and then). the two aren’t mutually-exclusive, it’s your fragility talking, especially if you’re white.

i can do better, you can do better, we all should do better.

Know Your Rights - Fuck ICE !!

in light of the despicable ICE raids and deportations, here is a link to free, printable Red Cards. Red Cards come in a variety of languages (39 to be exact), and they detail your rights if an officer tries to speak with you. you can slide them under the door if they try to enter your house, or hand them to an officer. many people will print these out themselves and distribute them to community members, but you can also order official cards.

under the current administration, agents might still try to ignore the law (and not be held accountable), but it remains important to share knowledge and make sure everyone feels supported in these times of crisis. it can be hard to remember what to say in the moment, even if you know your rights up and down.
