people are like why do you talk about classism so much in jason’s writing in comics and in fandom but they don’t realise the lit nerd jason fanon (though partially rooted in canon) is in part actually push back about how the fandom thought jason was dumb because he dropped out, that he wasn’t interested in higher education, that the potential jobs fandom gave him was always blue collared ones “just because”. things used to be much worse and i think there’s a pretty drastic shift in how jason is perceived and characterised in the past 10 years or so, and possibly why i don’t care if fans lean too much into him being a lit enthusiast. because well, i’ve seen the alternative and i don’t want to go back there

I agree for the most part, but I do feel there's something insidious about how people use his literacy (or not) when discussing his humanity or worth as a person and character. Like we're not really escaping the classism by applying an attribute to him that people tend to associate with upper class intellectualism. The judgements that are aimed towards blue collar folk are the problem, not the fact that blue collar folk exist. It's not actually reckoning with bias, instead it just removes him from the general population of the group they're biased against.

Because what does that say to poor people who aren't that educated or don't have college aspirations? It just reinforces that people don't take them seriously.

Actually, the more I look at it, the more pitiful it seems. Like a child locked up in there with no chance of escape...

by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?

There's a scene in very early 60's Doctor Who where a character falls into a swamp, I think, and they throw not a rag doll, but a card board cut out of the actor. 10/10 they don't make 'em like this no more

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.

If you don’t let go of your prejudices and past grudges, your heart won’t blossom. 2013 is coming, let’s make a change. We only have one planet so let’s show each other some kindness.

Something I absolutely love is not caving into the pressure of "you HAVE to watch popular gay show the writing is actually competent and they won't ruin it this time" and being like "hmmm I don't know... I watched popular gay show before and it turned bad..." only to much later get your door knocked on and it's your mutuals crestfallen and you get to be like "let me guess. it turned bad."

[televisionenjoyer]

The energy on the dash... Let me guess
