I absolutely love your work in both DCus. I am a Dick/Babs shipper & was wondering if we can expect more interaction between the 2? Batgirl #3 had such a tone of finality about it & Dick & Raya are hooking up in his series. I'm just wondering. I heard thei

Thank you!  I am a Dick/Babs shipper myself, or usually have been…in a way, it feels like they are the only ones good enough for each other. I loved the Kory/Dick stuff that I read early in their relationship but I discovered it in reprints and it had already been nullified, so it didn't 'take' with me in the same way.

As for the two of them, one nice thing about the relaunch is that we really do feel there is more possibility out there. Nightwing and Batgirl have open destinies. It's possible…I would love to write it!

Another friendly reminder.

Not distinguishing between racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia etc and its "reverse" against the majority implies that there is an equivalency between the two. There is no equivalency when you have a power structure in place that systemically oppresses some groups and privileges others. All it takes is a cursory glance at the political/legal system in this country, those who tend to comprise our representation, and the laws that exist to get the most basic idea of how that power structure operates. And that's just scratching the surface.

For a woman to be suspicious of the men she encounters is not sexism when the law so often fails to punish rapists, or when there are legitimate threats to her bodily autonomy and abortion rights. A transwoman that avoids all possible contact with straight men is not sexist, because she acknowledges the likelihood of encountering physical danger if she is honest about her identity. A black man who assumes that white people mean trouble is not racist when you consider the astoundingly poor track record this country has with regard to civil rights.

When you ignore that there is a BIG difference between the aforementioned examples and the kind of institutionalized racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc that pervade daily life, you are helping perpetuate the former. You are trivializing very real suffering. I know you may not mean it, but that doesn't excuse it. So please don't do that.

halleluuuuuuuujaaaaaaaah

It is ridiculous people don't get this.

Weird

Last time I looked, I think I had abotu 2000 followers or something here, I really wasn't paying attention.

Now I just noticed it's grown considerably.

Is Tumblr growing while Facebook is shrinking?

Female Superhero Costumes

Purely personal, and no judgments made about your opinions, but…

…who has the best, and who has the worst female superhero costume?

I don't even know what to say to this wonderfulness. This is a wonderful Harley, and a gorgeous Jeannette in formal gown (the same cosplayer played Knockout at the London MCM Expo and killed as HER, too!).

Cosplayers, sigh. Love love love!  :)

Today's Big Question

Can you name your Top Ten characters that were CREATED in comic books (not comic strips) of all time? They can be your personal favorites, or the ones you think are most influential, they can be from any genre, any country.

I just was thinking about this today—I have a list myself, do you?  :)

"gee lily, why is ragdoll your favorite?"

"well random internet user, i just don't know."

Heh. Lotta Secret Six love here in England. While there are some great horror books in the new 52, I don't think there's a book with quite the oddball mix of Secret Six yet.

I hope we get to see them again!
