If you're not aware DC just cancelled Red Hood completely and entirely because of Gretchen Felker-Martin's posts about you know who. They've basically wiped the solicitations for the first three issues out of existence.

And if you're in any way celebrating that, just know that this has set a very, very nasty precedent. They're not cancelling this book because you didn't like her or because you thought it was bad. They're cancelling it because she's a trans woman who's already managed to garner an unfavorable reputation among fans. And because the book is currently still being review bombed, they're going to just try to bury it. Genuinely ridiculous. I hope this permanently stains Jason's character moving forward. Lobdell wrote for Jason for seven fucking years after admitting to sexual misconduct. Fucking embarrassing.

i know i just reblogged this a few hours ago but i keep thinking about this man and his powerful emanations. i think this might actually be the physical manifestation of the soul of new york city. if he dies the city itself becomes pillars of dust

"if i didn't own the building and had to pay rent never in a million years could i keep this place open" damn it's almost like private ownership of storefront property punishes unique local businesses out of existence while keeping the door open for megacorporations that can afford the rent. almost like storefronts should just be city property that those with business licenses can rent on the cheap indefinitely. almost like an echo of the broader problem with the private housing market too... damn, really makes you think

“Members of Charlie Kirk’s organization spent two years aggressively stalking me, harassing and threatening me and my family, spreading lies about me, wasting my time and energy with a bogus lawsuit, attempting to end my academic career, and attempting to incite violence against me. They did similar things to hundreds of other academics who they saw as easy targets or obstructions to far-right goals. Kirk was not simply a guy with different views who liked to debate. He actively worked to try to destroy the lives of people like me. He lied to donors to keep the money flowing to his organization and he filled its leadership ranks with racists, misogynists, Islamophobes, and anti-LGBTQ extremists. He encouraged his young and impressionable followers to be cruel to vulnerable people. He taught young people that empathy is weakness and that laughing at people facing hardship and exclusion is cool. He treated the young murderer Kyle Rittenhouse as a hero and a celebrity that other young people should emulate. He supported racial profiling and the persecution of working-class migrants. He raised money for and publicized the most fascistic politicians pushing the most authoritarian policies. He added nothing of value to society. The world is worse for having had him in it.” - an academic targeted by Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA.

So wait are livestock guardian dogs to their flocks like… Clark Kent among the residents of Smallville? He’s been here since he was a baby, we all know him, and he’s… generally one-of-us shaped, uh, approximately. And then when something goes wrong he suddenly leaps into action and does some terrifying impossible shit none of us could do. And then comes back home and settles in like nothing happened and he’s one of us again.

Actual answer: the sheep know the dogs are not sheep, and they also know the dog is protecting them and take their cues from the dog about whether they need to run for the barn or can just ignore anything scary that approaches.

However, a friend once had an extremely premature orphan lamb born in December who had to live in the house for a couple of months with leg braces and all that, who due to spending her lambhood with dogs instead of sheep came out of the whole experience convinced she was a livestock guardian dog! She would patrol the perimeter of the fields every evening with the actual dog, stand watch in the barn door at night like the dog, and was more than willing to throw down if she saw something scary coming towards the flock the way the guard dog did. Tragically orphaned lamb did a convincing job at being a guard dog without actually having any of the biological advantages a dog has over a sheep.

Which I suppose made her Sheep Batman.
