I can’t help but be excited for the Red Hood series but I don’t have hope. I can feel another lecture by DC about preserving peace and oh don’t you know your assaulter had a future.

Confirmation from a reliable news source

Pretty much every anime publication in the USA will be harmed by this as we all publish stories about queer media

Utena, Aoi Hana, Sailor Moon, Yuri On Ice... I can think of about a hundred titles we all publish stories about that would get us up shit creek

It is very validating when the world class specialist with experience in your weird-ass genetic disorder just says, wearily, "I hate this disorder, it's the worst" in that weary voice of commiseration when you describe your symptoms

I don’t get what the hubbub about Tim stans is. They’re fine? They stick to themselves. Whenever I come across some bullshit drama post it’s always been a Dick stan who started that shit.

This is also the political result of prosperity theology. If you’re good and virtuous, you’ll be rich and healthy. Poverty and disability are your own fault

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

In response students write [REDACTED], their own anti-censorship play skewering the school district, sells out performances, and ultimately takes gold at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival.

Some of the most heavily censored years in media during the 1930s-1950s were some of the most violent domestically. US culture/society was training everyone to be good little moral citizens & they forced media of the time to reflect that agenda while everyday abuse still happened behind closed doors

I had a relative compelled into service to the enemy. He mistranslated all the manuals for captured equipment so that The Thing Don't Work.

Mistranslate the manuals, whatever that means for you.
a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:

the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”
