just finished this month's book club book, went skimming goodreads reviews afterwards as you do, got my breath taken away by this absolutely brutal ending to one of the multi-paragraph 1 star reviews

easy to miss that one of the reasons maternal mortality is diminished so extremely by modern medicine is that modern medicine makes it so much more possible to identify the pregnancies that will die and take you with them, or are otherwise unacceptably high risk. and then discontinue those ones safely, before it's too late.

thought about this because it's so frustrating when people argue that 'dying in childbirth' is a historical sort of event that doesn't happen nowadays (false) and therefore is irrelevant to the legal status of abortion, since it's not a real danger.

except it super is, and i think a lot of people haven't noticed that this argument in addition to simply being incorrect is basically the same as when people say we don't need vaccines for deadly diseases because no one gets those now anyway.

like yeah one reason for that is we vaccinate everybody ffs.

Note: after the end of Roe v Wade in the US, the maternal mortality rate (and the infant mortality rate) are showing clear increases in the states with the strictest anti-abortion laws.

Forcing people to carry high risk or non viable pregnancies to term kills.

Rates of pregnancy-linked sepsis and deaths grow in Texas

ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing p

This has been well documented in Texas.

Very important note: this has always disproportionately impacted black birthing parents, they are 3x more likely to die and are the victims of cruel rulings like Adriana Smith, the woman who was declared brain dead but her body was kept on life support by the state so her baby could finish developing in her corpse (the state didnt pay for this btw her family got the debt) or Cherise Doyley who declined a voluntary c-section and then while she was IN LABOR was brought a tablet on a zoom call with a judge pulled up to have a 3 hour hearing between her and her dr that ruled in the drs favor forcing her into a c-section (which while can be life saving treatment a) you can legally decline life saving treatment b) has much higher risks when not planned before hand c) lifelong surgical impacts and much more intense healing than successful vaginal birth)

So. Image Comics is choosing to publish work by Warren Ellis this year. Source.

Warren Ellis, who has historically used his influence as a comic writer to coerce and manipulate nearly 100 people into intimate relations with him. The linked source includes testimony from dozens of his victims, some of which can be graphic--use discretion.

I really encourage everyone to send Image a message via their contact page and raise hell on their social media pages. Also, if you have Image pulls... drop them. Not worth it.

There are many fun reasons to have a character avoid using guns, but I think "this otherwise-awesome fighter is a really terrible shot" is an underappreciated one. Yes, they're available in my setting and would work against my enemies. No, I don't have a moral code against them or a power that makes them redundant. I just can't aim for shit!

[hail-the-villainess]

In general IMO the more badass and hypercompetent a character is, the more they're enriched by having one skill they're just absolutely hopeless at. Terrible shot, terrible liar, terrible dancer, no poker face, no sense of direction, can't drive, can't swim, can't cook, can't read, always broke, always late, always falls for a certain trick...

working with kids and one of them says “you know you eat 8 spiders a night on average right?” and another goes “no no no those statistics are actually skewed by people who like eat spiders recreationally for fun and stuff” and my head snapped up like a fucking sleeper agent

IDK it pisses me off the way people act like murderers are some sort of great puzzle to be solved when 90% of the time its literally just a boring freak that hates women

[creatingblackcharacters]

It's the way it was a simple, objective statement. White allyship 101. "White trans ppl can be oppressors too." Yes. Because Whiteness brings systemic power over their peers of color, even if you are in some way marginalized yourself. Queerness does not cancel out racism. We've talked about this. We've talked about white privilege and what it does and doesn't mean. These were conversations everyone swore they were having in 2016. 😐 And now a blow up of fragility on par with the conservatives we're supposedly up against together. What even.

[creatingblackcharacters]

And I'm not trans so it's not like it's my right to stand here and speak for anybody who is. But from the perspective of Blackness and Bisexuality, of KNOWING that no amount of being queer has ever prevented white queer folks from being racist to me, despite the shared reality that is so long as you buy into white supremacy for your own benefit you will never break your own chains of homophobia and enforcement of gender....
