They're in dire need for NOMAD esims in Gaza! Please refer to the website on how to buy esims

PSA for potential esim buyers:

buying esims is a bit more involved than some may realize-- there are different plans available (1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB), all different prices, all of which expire, meaning that you need to continuously replenish, or "top-off", someone's data plan once the esim is activated

(well-- it's not "needed" perse, but having a plan expire means the esim user must go through the arduous process of activating a new esim- which as stated above, are in extremely limited supply

maintaining an esim may not be feasible for everyone. if that's the case for you- i strongly recommend putting money towards crips for esims. this project not only purchases esims, but keeps 3000+ esims active on behalf of their donors

Crips for eSims for Gaza is a collaboration between Jane Shi, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Alice Wong.

You ever think about how many female characters in DC died because of acts of violence committed by men and how the well of souls reincarnates the souls of women who died because of acts of violence committed by men into amazons, meaning DC could very easily bring those (usually fridged) women back to life as amazons

carol ferris is a self-proclaimed daddy's girl. carol became star sapphire when she was mind controlled into becoming the queen of a planet consisting entirely of morally dubious immortal women. carol agreed to be their queen after growing sick of the constant misogyny she experienced as green lanterns girlfriend and as the female ceo of ferris aircraft. despite being the literal queen of the planet she was more of a pet than anything who was immediately cast aside when the zamarons decided that mating with the guardians would be a better use of their time (yes that is what happened to the zamarons in canon and it sucked terribly) after they left carol freaked out and killed several people, including katma tui, a korugarian revolutionary, one of hal jordan's best friends, and john stewart's wife. when she was finally freed from the star sapphire gem she lived with hal for a bit and had night terrors that consisted of her having an argument with her dad about him leaving her (like the zamarons) and her presumed dead mother. at some point in these dreams she would be sitting on his lap as he praised her. slowly the zamarons would appear in the shadows and call her her terms of endearment like good girl. she began to panic and transformed into star sapphire before she could actually do anything about it. as star sapphire she brutally sliced hal into bits the same way she did against katma. the worst part of this dream is that she loved it. she is disgusted by her own desires. she does not know how much of her mind is her own. carol baby you don't have to tell me what happened to you as a kid but i think i know. i really think i do

I bring a very "cape comics, as a whole, tend to treat criminality and immorality as synonymous, even or especially when the protagonist hero is breaking the law, which speaks to wider social ideas about what it means to be a criminal (that quickly break down and become meaningless if you think about them for more than half a second)" vibe to the function that comicsblr seems unable to grasp because I used Batman as an often-relevant example.

#inversely it's obvious in the way cape comics portray the police (the anti criminal) from @jinlintai

Yes exactly. The Comic Code Authority originally didn't even allow negative depictions of cops, and this was only slightly loosened in the 70s if you made it reallllyyyy clear that that corrupt cop was an outlier and should not be counted.

"i love you" "i love you too" man whatever happened to "and i sliced you, too. i flayed you. i disemboweled you. and as your blood flowed over me, it changed me back... into carol. it was carol slicing you up. and i loved it."

Part of the appeal of kyle is that he was the only green lantern for the longest time. He had no corps, no guardians, no oa, he was figuring things out by himself. He became green lantern his own way.

That's why I think instead of joining up with the corps when they were reestablished, Kyle should have been like "nah I like alans version of green lanterning, im just gonna keep the ring and keep doing what im doing. You guys owe me anyway." This way we get kyle as earth/the JLA's green lantern while hal, john, and guy get to be green lantern in space

honestly one of my hot takes about kyle is that the GLC is not a good fit for him.

it’s very frustrating to me that his feelings about the return of the GLC and adjustment to actually being in it rather than just fantasizing about the version he had only heard of were kinda glossed and simplified over. he really isn’t allowed to have any negative thoughts about being in the corps at all which i don’t agree with. throughout his time as the only GL, he had this fantasy that the corps were and would’ve been the family he’s always dreamed of having. and then they do come back and it’s…not like that.

they’re (mostly) fellow soldiers—fundamentally lacking in the type of sentimentality that kyle both has and craves. this should not give him the fulfillment that writers claim it does. which brings me to my second point, which is that it makes zero sense for kyle to be fine with suddenly being pretty much forced to become a soldier/cop. his way of heroism is very much centered on humanitarianism and allowing both yourself and others to find their own ways. he constantly questioned why things had to be a certain way, why couldn’t they be better, why can’t we do better? which is antithetical to being a cop at the beck and call of a higher authority. even johns established that within the corps there are lanterns who view kyle as an weak, ineffective dreamer (ex. john saying that he’s a hard man who has to make hard choices and that kyle is not) because of his values and way of conducting himself. there should be tension there

Like I dunno. Sorry for being That One Friend That's Too Woke when it comes to cape comics, to the point that what many people read as a joke about Batman at a gas station was actually meant to allude to the question of "What does it say that Batman, who frequently breaks the law, is not considered to be A Criminal, to the point that people frequently forget he does, in fact, break the law?". The thing is. Uh. What does it say, that "breaking the law" is apparently not what makes one A Criminal?

(It says that "breaking the law" is not what makes one A Criminal at all-- what makes one A Criminal is being said to have broken a law, or have perhaps broken a law, or have been planning to break a law, and also be, for whatever reason, less deserving of human rights than Good and Normal People. Batman, a Good and Normal Person, therefore cannot be A Criminal because he is not undeserving of human rights.)

#no absolutely #also the famous line ''cowardly & suspicious lot''#the like. naturalization of the category Criminal. which of course is decided by You; whose judgement is infallible.#as if Criminal is a type of person you can get rid of and then there's no more crime...........#i do think about that

Paul Smith: Katma Tui vs. Star Sapphire

shoot-i-messed-up

was rereading emerald dawn ii and this page absolutely obliterated me. sinestro stalking up to katma, completely intending to justify himself and his actions, but he sees the hatred in katma’s eyes and just trails off.

“I have no questions. I am all out of…questions.”

tumblr user katmaatui having many thoughts about her is such a fork in kitchen moment but god do you ever think about how disgusting it was for the guardians to have given PERMISSION for her and john to pursue a relationship. katma, the woman who before this had forsaken being a green lantern to marry even as the guilt of abandoning her duty (cult) ate at her, only to return when hal fucking jordan, number 1 guardian dickrider, came to tell her that she would never be happy like this and that the corps was the only thing that mattered and that life outside of it was miserable and she ran back cause what else?? what else was there for her. there was nothing

[ID: A panel of Katma Tui and an unknown guardian having a private discussion. Katma smiles up at him as he says, “It is good - but be aware, we also know of your feelings for each other! and these we also approve!” End ID]

i am going to throw up. panels before this she and john petitioned them to create a new planet for some refugees and it was treated like a political agreement in a manner fucking identical to this. katma you are only allowed to fall in love when it’s convenient for me. katma you are only allowed to save people when it follows my plans. katma i know everything about you because you are a soldier not a person and more than that you are a woman in a green lantern comic. now you will be fridged but we’re not gonna give you credit for it cause alex just sorta deserves it more. byeeeeeee ✌️
