Batdad defense/accusation blog

It’s important that everyone understand that, when I say that I “like” a villainous character, what I in fact mean is that I consider them to be both cool and morally praiseworthy, as well as correct in their aims and methods and worthy of emulation by people in the real world. Just in case there was any ambiguity on this point.

I further elaborate that I consider them to be An Excellent Role-Model for Impressionable Children.

I almost neglected to mention that they are a worthy sexual partner and that I am aroused by everything that they do.

I really love a good baby Bruce. Love the 12 year old recent orphan coming to a board meeting, and you're ready for softball questions, and he's like "WE has ties to organized crime and manufactures chemical weapons, and both of those should stop before I need to tell the shareholders and take legal action"

I'm watching Gotham again. I've made a few attempts that ended relatively early, but I think those were mostly because it needs more focus than I was giving it, I actually kind of like what I've seen of the show! I hear things kind of go off the rails, but I enjoy watching metaphorical media train derailments, so. We'll see

Back to Bats soon, I swear, but my mom is going to kill me

"I don't want to talk about it, but thank god I narrowly avoided a blood transfusion" is THE WRONG AMOUNT OF INFORMATION TO GIVE ME ABOUT YOUR HEALTH! WHAT DO YOU MEAN!

hi guys-

breaking from my normal posting to bring up something really important to me.

have you heard of powell’s city of books? they’re famously the world’s largest independent bookstore, lauded as a family business, tourist landmark, and progressive icon of portland oregon.

i work there.

currently our union is fighting to have the company pay us a living wage.

it’s embarrassing how little powells pays us- we barely make more than minimum wage right now- and most people don’t know that the famous business they’re supporting treats its workers like dirt.

when asked to consider our wage proposal, our lead hr officer stated: “We have all worked jobs where the pay and our personal needs were not in alignment.” this isn’t about personal needs “being in alignment.” my coworkers can hardly afford rent or afford to even feed themselves with our current wages.

what am i asking for?

if you love books, love or know powell’s, or just want to stand in solidarity with fellow workers, i’m asking for you to let powell’s books know how you feel about their insulting wage proposal: email our union and they will pass on the message to corporate-

[email protected]

it can be as short and sweet as you want to make it. we want to show the company that people are paying attention to the example they set and won’t stand for it.

also literally just sharing this post to let everyone know what we are asking for helps too. share it on booktok, tell your friends, tell your book club, spread the word. powell’s skates by on its reputation and in doing so hides its betrayal of the workers that dedicate their lives to make it the special place it is.

thank you for reading ❤️

Powell's is a landmark and an extraordinary resource. Its employees deserve to be fairly paid.

red hood is super insensitive. he crashed the gala last night and made a bunch of dead jokes at jason todd’s expense to bruce wayne’s face, like the poor dude was ready to burst into tears

Good news:

Work is going well both for me and for the org (some sick legislative wins lately)

Vacation soon (!)

ADHD meds for the first time in months soon (!!)

I'm working on a cool little crochet thing

Yesterday was take your kid to work day, and the organizers taught everyone's kids protest chants and had them come up with some themselves. Big hits were "we want rights" and "candy for all". The former is a little generic but the latter is very good, none of the unions we work with are brave enough to have that as part of their chant rotation. Anyways it was really cute

I'm back and I'm worse off mentally than ever 💙

let’s see if this extra cup of coffee makes me good or evil

[batfilledsky]

I always love Bruce vanishing on Gordon. It never fails to make me laugh. What can I say, I'm easy. It's normally just a stupid throwaway joke, "I hate it when he does that", etc

But this part of Knightfall 1993, where the fact that Batman DOESN'T vanish annoyingly is what finally tips Gordon off that it's not the usual Batman wearing the suit, is so good

Detective Comics (1937-), Issue 666

Stupid shit that always makes me laugh in Batman comics:

Him vanishing behind Gordon's back

Shark Repellent

Further updates as events warrant.

I feel like the fact that Batman is an orphan is both pretty easy to intuit and not very helpful with identifying him. I mean. Bruce Wayne is America's favorite sad orphan in some continuities, so maybe it is, but like. Come on. Of COURSE Batman suffered a traumatic loss as a child. Have you seen literally anything about him
