every time I speak on Wonder Woman on twitter I get idiots in my replies who will simply do anything in their power to justify "violent warrior princess Diana who kills people." The Xena-ficiation of Wonder Woman has permanently damaged how the public interacts with her as a character and it's super depressing. I hate it here.

If you’re not keeping up, Cartoon Network sold off most of its original programming over the last few years to run exclusively on HBO Max, but after a merger with Discovery, HBO has taken them all down, including those that were still in production, for what is long story short a big tax write-off. And it’s not a simple matter of them just airing or streaming somewhere else now. It’s a very complicated issue of rights and contracts and money but essentially these shows may never, ever be available again outside piracy and their creators may never get money again. Some completed episodes may also be lost media. For a couple of series, such as Mao Mao and Infinity Train, Cartoon Network has gone back and scrubbed all tweets, youtube clips or other mention of the series existence, confirming they likely no longer have the rights to take them anywhere else. The tweet today by the creator of Tig N’ Seek made me saddest.

A lot of people this week have simply given up on their industry careers, seeing years of their life’s work just vanish into a corporate vault overnight. Being able to point to your work on a streaming service had apparently even become a pretty critical part of the portfolios they now rely on to get new jobs.

Streaming media went from an optimistic new frontier to even worse than cable TV so suddenly.

[jayden-stormblessed-deactivated]

serious post. start combating any misinformation you find. monkeypox is not an sti. monkeypox spreads through *any form of contact*. it is not exclusive to queer people, and it is *not* queer people's fault. we can not let history repeat itself. don't let flashy headlines take the place of medical facts and information.

conservatives are already itching to start a witchhunt against LGBT people and monkeypox is something they are going to latch onto.

don't let them. don't let this turn into a repeat of the AIDS crisis.

[ambelle]

You said dumb shit and got ratiod and now ur lying about what happened. No one was dragging Kory or Anna and claiming to be stans. Grow the fuck up and take your L.

Y'all got me fucked up.

First of all Twitter isn't real life and deadass doesnt matter. ~YoU GoT RAtIoD~ ...yes by a bunch of weirdos who were defending their right to drag Anna's apparence. And then what happened? Nothing. Getting fellow morons to agree with you on the internet has accomplished what for y'all cause? Did Curran quit? Has Anna bursted into tears on IG live and left the show? Did Brenton break up with Chloe? Is the blue filter gone? No one cares what y'all think.

Secondly I was leaving shit alone. I stopped talking to you ironically anti black Kory fans back in October. Didn't say names, didnt post receipts, but since I'm a liar here you go. Not bonna blur shit. Mar and that whole clique over there are frauds who spend most of their time dragging Korry/Anna's hair and clothes, dismissing her storylines that don't involve Dick, projecting a hostile work environment onto her despite her obviously getting along with her cast mates, and praying the show she is 2nd billed in gets cancelled. If you think I'm wrong for saying fans shouldn't drag her for her looks after she was literally harassed over it you can also go fuck yourself.

NOW you can look at these receipts Ill add and then name one corner of the fandom that spent this much time complaining about Kory/Anna after the initial backlash in s1. Show me who else was doing this EVERY WEEK I'll wait.

[ambelle]

Not this being relevent again

Anyway Anna's hair looks amazing and she's gonna kill it next season whether her "fans" like it or not.

[stardumb17]

[omegazoroarchive]

very painful to me personally that "film bro" is becoming synonymous with someone who watches movies that are not marvel or disney products or blockbusters. that "film bro" is becoming synonymous with someone who watches foreign film. tik tok is tik tok but this sentiment and refusal to interact with art outside of the popular, outside of your comfort zone, outside of what's english... it's just crazy...

[omegazoroarchive]

capitalism is anti-art

[omegazoroarchive]

also this one specifically lol ? you can't enjoy something unless it's surface level, fine. except... nothing is surface level... you are telling on yourself that you do not interact meaningfully with any of the media you consume.

stop recommending this useless misinfo. the satanic temple is a bullshit organization who take advantage of reproductive healthcare crises to get more attention. they have never once actually won anything in court for abortion access.

[intertiaticsmoved]

op i hope you don't mind me adding this but i feel it's important to note (as someone else in the notes has) that the satanic temple has a history if antisemitism, and as well that denying access to an abortion is actually literally against the religious obligations of jewish people

A friendly reminder for those of you who either don't know or have forgotten that Barbara Gordon voluntarily retired as Batgirl before the events of The Killing Joke:

"There're others out there now who can do this as well or better than me, with less pain. I'll help them, maybe without letting them know. But I'm done going out there myself." -Batgirl Special #1 (1988)

She had also retired the mantle at least once before, back when she decided that she could do more good as Congresswoman and lawyer Barbara Gordon than Batgirl:

I even failed...as the police commissioner's daughter! What good does it do for Batgirl to toss them into jail...and Babs Gordon to parole them out? "No use masquerading any longer...And it's the only way I can really fight crime--prevent it--through prison reform!" -Detective Comics #422 (1972)

Part of the tragedy of TKJ's fridging of Babs is that she was retired and living a normal civilian life when she was shot; she was targeted purely because she was still living with her father, not because of any activities she was doing.

She's also expressed on multiple occasions that she has moved on from her time as Batgirl and is more than happy to pass the mantle on (in certain circumstances, to certain people):

"I've put my life as Batgirl behind me...as much as possible. It helps that I've passed the name onto Cassandra. It gives me some...distance." -Harley Quinn Vol. 1, #10 (2001)

"Ooh! What's that?" "Something you've earned the right to wear." -Batgirl Vol. 3, #3 (2009)

When people say that Babs should go back to being Batgirl after being Oracle, or that she should be "both" Batgirl and Oracle at the same time, it removes something fundamental from Barbara as a character. It's a reader that won't let Barbara grow up, move on, and permanently develop past her Batgirl days the way all of the male Bat characters are allowed to do.

Tim asked Dick to return to Bruce's side as Robin after Jason's death in his introductory story, and Dick had the perfect response to that:

"I don't believe this. That man raised me. I've gone through hell with him and because of him. Don't lecture me about him until you've cared for him and loved him as long as I have. And the first thing he taught me was how to be a man--not how to become a kid all over again." -A Lonely Place of Dying, Part 3 (1989)

That statement applies to Barbara as much as it does Dick. No one would ever suggest that Dick should return to being Robin after being Nightwing for 30+ years. No one would ever say that "Dick can be Robin and Nightwing at the same time, he doesn't need to give up Robin. Let him keep being Robin and he can be Nightwing half-time." It's the same argument. It makes no sense, and it denies Babs the same agency and permanent character growth every other (male) Batfamily member is allowed to have. And it's been called out not once, but twice:

"Y'know, a lot of the time it's like you Batguys want me to hold onto the past because you can't get over it. Understand--I have." -Birds of Prey Vol. 1, #8 (1999)

Take a lesson from Marv Wolfman's and Chuck Dixon's dialogue, y'all: let your heroes grow. Let them change. Let them move on to new roles and become mentors to those they pass their mantles to. And let them keep that growth and stop forcing them back into roles they outgrew long ago because you can't move on or accept change.

[aworldinagrain0fsand]

I keep seeing the phrase "when the news finally reached Texas" in reference to Juneteenth. Let's be super clear. White people in Texas knew slavery was over. They just chose not to tell the Black people. Juneteenth was when the Black people finally found out. History is so whitewashed that we accept the euphemisms as gospel. It didn't take 2 1/2 years for the messenger to bring the news. The rest of the Union didn't forget to tell Texas. White Texans just got away with keeping their slavery way of life for 2 extra years and nobody said shit. Hell yes, #Juneteenth should be a federal fucking holiday, but ALSO we should be teaching #CriticalRaceTheory in our schools so we don't get watered down versions of history.

May 11, 2022 / Disabled, neurodivergent, interracial American family in crisis overseas!

TLDR;  Our daughter can’t travel out of the Philippines with us until they fix the paperwork snafu that made her stateless. We need to cover immigration fees for visa overstay, related transportation, and covid-related health costs for our at risk family. We didn’t meet our earlier goal, so now we need an additional $8,000 USD (at least) by July 2022.

Hi everyone, our 14 month old Eleanor won’t be able to travel out of the country with us by the time our visa extensions expire, so we have to stay here until her paperwork is fixed, and then we have to go through the American embassy processes of registering her and getting her passport. Until then, Rob and I need to keep paying exorbitant fees for overstaying our 36 month visa allotment. For Rob it’s been 50 months so far and for me it’s been 43 months.

You may have seen our fundraising posts between October 2021 and January/February2022. Our goal then was 12,000 USD for an SRRV that would have allowed Rob and the baby to stay in the Philippines permanently (I would still have had to fly out and back to reset, but at least El would have had one of us here with her in case there was trouble with reentry), but because we didn’t meet that goal in time, and because we’ve had COVID complications, we have to do this additional fund raising.

In March 2022 Rob  and I were granted additional (very expensive) immigration extensions valid until July  2022. We probably won’t be able to get  Eleanor’s papers sorted until after August 2022 and we won’t be leaving the country to reset our visas without her, so we’re hoping to raise at  least enough to file for another extension in July 2022 and cover subsequent accommodations, travel, immigration fees, and incidentals to finally put this mess behind us.

After July we’ll still need whatever we can get towards 8,000 for travel to Manila to get  American paperwork sorted (because they will only do it in person), then to fly out of the country together to reset our visas so it no longer costs us a small fortune every few  months for overstaying. And of course to handle all the surprise medical expenses from how badly long covid is affecting Rob.

Speaking of which… Rob is still having complications from long covid, especially because of his pre-existing disabilities. His eyesight took a covid-related nosedive back in the beginning of February (inflamation in the retina area from micro-clots), and  we’re just now getting treatment for that. He also needs a  lot of dental work done because of low quality dental work in the past and a tooth that keeps breaking, plus we’re trying to find him some quality cuff crutches to alleviate the  pressure on his joints. We’re looking for specialists local to us to get him the care that he needs (including hopefully letting him keep his toe–oh yeah, forgot to mention that). A couple months ago he needed an expensive MRI to check out his brain after a neurological event, and recently spent an entire month bedridden and on an oxygen machine.

Rob is physically disabled, with spinal injuries, a traumatic brain injury, nerve damage, and joint problems. He’s also autistic with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. I also have ADHD. I’m the main caretaker for the baby and for Rob, so I don’t have time for much else outside of them, and I can’t legally work in the Philippines without sponsorship anyway.

You  all have been so incredibly kind and helpful and amazing and wonderful,  and we are so grateful for each and every one of you for sharing and  donating to help keep our little family together. My sweet daughter,  disabled partner, and my exhausted self thank you so so much.

Our  preferred method of receiving donations is Rob’s paypal, so here’s the  link for that as well as alternate methods of donations we are capable  of receiving,

PayPal Donation Link (preferred bc lowest fees) – https://href.li/?https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=AAPN4HRA9YLA4

Thank you all again so much, more than words can even say.

[anexperimentallife]

As of May 14th we’ve got about 350 of the additional 8K needed. Thanks to everyone who has kicked in or reblogged. All my energy is going towards recovery, parenting, and medical stuff, so I’m not very interactive right now, but I appreciate all of you. ❤❤❤❤

[anexperimentallife]

As of May 25 we’ve received about 570 of the additional 8,000 we need. But so this is more than a strep, have some serotonin!

[anexperimentallife]

We finally have her corrected birth certificate! Now begins the process of getting her citizenship affirmed and getting her a passport so she can leave the Philippines with us–which is probably going to take until like, August or so. Meaning thousands more in extension fees and travel, especially considering we have to pay not just our own overstay fees, but also all of El’s visa and extension fees from her birth onward all at once, hire a private driver from here to Manila and back bc she can’t ride the bus, rent an airbnb in Manila for about a month to deal with embassy appointments, etcetera.

All this because of a few seconds confusion during @thesurestthing ’s C-section to give birth to our daughter during a pandemic while the entire country was locked down.

Amd now we go to immigration again to beg for another overstay extension, because last time they only approved us for about half the time we told them we needed. While I stumble around with my screwed up joints and one functioning eye because long covid is still screwing with my already-disabled body.

I’m so fucking tired.

[anexperimentallife]

As of June 3, 2022, we still need about 7K more–at least 1K of it ASAP. And thank you to everyone who has already kicked in or reblogged. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[anexperimentallife]

We head down to Manila in a few days to try to get the next step of this sorted. We’re still about 7K short of the new goal, and really need at least 1K (preferably more like 3K) of that ASAP, so if you can help or reblog, we’d appreciate it. ❤️

[anexperimentallife]

Thanks to y'all, we’ve gotten around 600 more in the past couple of days! That’s almost enough to offset our Airbnb in Manila! Thank you!

We went ahead and booked thr place, and a driver to pick us up about 24 hours from now to take us there. (It’s 3 am here, but we want to beat traffic. If you’ve ever driven in the Manila morning rush hour, you get it. I thought NYC had prepared me for Manila traffic. It did not.)

We still have some errands to run tomorrow, and have to finish packing. My stomach is in knots, tbh. Every step of this has been expensive, nerve-wracking, and painful. Especially while I deal with the effects of long covid.

But hopefully in a few months, with your help, the long nightmare will be over, and El will be able to fly out with us.

🏳️‍🌈 Ruth Ellis (1899 - 2000) was the daughter of former slaves. She came out as a lesbian when she was 16-years-old to the complete acceptance of her family. In 1937, Ruth and her longtime partner moved to Detroit from their hometown of Springfield, Illinois for the promise of higher wages. There, she became the first woman in Michigan to run her own printing business. She printed fliers, posters, and stationary in the front room of her home, which also quickly became a hotspot for Black LGBTQ social life. Before long, Ruth was helping those who came around in any way she could, including by paying for college tuitions. After the Stonewall uprising, 70-year-old Ruth began giving speeches in support of gay and lesbian rights all across the country. She remained an activist for the rest of her long life and even spent her 100th birthday leading the San Francisco Dyke March. At the time of her death at 101, she was recognized as the oldest out lesbian in the US. She is the subject of the documentary "Living With Pride: Ruth C. Ellis @ 100" and is the namesake of the Ruth Ellis Center, a shelter for homeless and at-risk LGBTQ youth in Detroit.

Celebrate Ruth Ellis.

An organization I like to donate to is the National Clearinghouse for the Defense of Battered Women, the only org in the US that works to defend victims of domestic violence who have been charged with crimes, usually for harming their abusers in self-defense, “failing to protect” their children in dv situations or “kidnapping” their children while fleeing violence. Thinking about them as we’re thinking about legal retaliation against domestic violence victims!

Shit ass jury should’ve been sequestered and this trial should never have been televised, it’ll be a another decade when people realize the truth the same old tired circle

[trutown-the-bard]

Get rekt. No trial should ever be held from the public. Even Federal trials should be televised and the Federal judges that don’t like it and block it should get rekt too. 

[disgruntled-foreign-patriarch]

I agree

[silent-calling]

Cry harder OP. This trial was fairly litigated, despite Heard's team submitting actual doctored evidence and trying to rehash a trial that wasn't fairly conducted according to this judge.

Hopefully Amber doesn't try to pledge the $8.35 million she just lost too.

[stardumb17]

You can fuck off and die kindly. This trial was a hot mess and completely unprofessional, how can you argue she defamed him when he performed at a concert recently
