I May Be Invisible But You're Transparent: Jeanette/Artemis is a pairing that I ship :D
I ship it SO HARD
Because seriously, just look at the two of them here. They would have the most intense, roughest, most mind blowing, angry sex in the history of anything ever. And it would be glorious
And you just know Jeanette would…
I swear, the worst part about giving up Wonder Woman? As much as I adore writing Diana, and I do, I absolutely love her, that wasn’t the biggest problem.
The biggest problem was no more Etta, no more Artemis, no more Phillipus, no more Hippolyta. Writing those four women (and for the bad girls, Alkyone) was the wildest fun in comics. SO MUCH nobility and steel and humanity and humor and love and fun and hot hot hot I LOVE THOSE CHARACTERS SO MUCH.

And you just know Jeanette would be only too happy to show Artemis exactly what she’s missing ;D
I was always kind of amazed that that scene got printed as written. :)

Black Canary :) I’m revising the absolute shit outta this costume though. Gonna be completely comic-book accurate by this summer >:D
Wow.
There is just something about this particular outfit that kills me.
And the best Canary cosplayers always know, it’s not just the look, it’s the attitude. That gleam in the eye that says, “I could absolutely kick your ass, and hey, why don’t you go get some reinforcements and I’ll kick THEIR asses, too?”
This is a really beautiful cosplay. Brava!

Eye Candy: Warning: Genuinely Awful People Story

Eye Candy: Warning: Genuinely Awful People Story
Okay, this story, fair warning, sucks. It haunts me to this day. But it really happened.
I’m posting it because it happened, and I think there’s value in knowing what some people are really like.
I don’t think it’s any secret that I love China, it’s my favorite county to visit…
Ok, so I appreciated the glimpse into how difficult it really is to adopt from China. I get it. But as a woman of color, a Third World woman of color, the en masse adoption of Third World babies by white women is just always going to be squicky for me. Even if the adoption process is hella difficult, that just proves that these white people are willing to pour endless time and money and resources into children of colour when the end-result is they get a cute baby for themselves. But where are these white people when public schools for children of colour right here in the US are crumbling? Where are they when other white people whine about paying higher taxes to ensure better schools and public transport for kids of colour? Where are they when we’re doing the difficult work of teaching Black and Brown kids to reject internalized racism? And where are they when we Third World women are demanding that the West take its ugly colonial boot off our necks so we can develop our own resources and build up our nations and raise our children? Just reminds me of the Chrystos poem:
” Don’t talk to me about the prison conditions in Russia or Peru or Argentina
Let me take you to Purdy white girl
I’ll show you some torture that works & works & works
doesn’t leave a mark
Somewhere else is safer & not your fault & not your responsibility
Easy
to be outraged & run off to save somebody
on your white horse airplane
come back with slides to show me how horrible it is down there
gore gleaming in your eyes your excitement just
held in
I’ll show you blood on every street in america
We aren’t the latest fad in your candy-striper life
You want genocide
look out the window at the road going past your house
honey
it’s killing us”
I know that lots of adopted parents are wonderful caregivers and I know many adopted children are happy and loved. I’m just sick of mothers of color being swept under the rug and I’m sick of white people who don’t give a shit about their complicity in the economic subjugation of the Third World conveniently showing up at our orphanages.
I totally agree. And I don’t know how much of what was going on there was White Savior Syndrome, which we have repeatedly seen throughout history is a very poisonous thing, and how much was just the mommy instinct.
I REALLY don’t mean to imply that I thought this adoption thing wasn’t problematic in general. Even though I am MORE informed now than I was at the time, that is still a piddling little amount of knowledge that I have overall, so I don’t feel like it’s something I can speak to with authority. I agree with everything you’ve said, and I don’t think it’s the responsibility of POC to make white women feel better about their adoption choices.
I speak only as an adopted child and adoptive parent, and as a witness to the event. The larger issues at hand are clearly serious and under-reported.
We’re taught that adoption is a wonderful, generous, noble thing to do, and sometimes it is. But making a fairy tale out of it doesn’t do anyone any good, and the danger of cultural erasure is ever present, let alone the other points you have raised.
We all want kids to have good families and homes. But as this story illustrates, money and influence don’t necessarily a good home make.

D’awwwww
Babs and Dinah cuddling up together in all their cute femslash-y glory is a thing I need to reblog :D
That is superb and delicious.
If Babs and Dinah don’t end up at LEAST as best friends in the new 52, there’s no justice.
