Happy Women’s Day To Women Who Are Alcoholics, Drug Addicts, Homeless, Incarcerated. To The Moms Who

I was on fentanyl the night my mom had her heart attack.

Smoking cigarettes with her on the back porch

while she worried that her chest felt funny.

And I was smoking a cigarette when I called my sister outside of the hospital

after a doctor had told me to “wait outside”

after I asked

if my mother was going to survive.

And I texted my dealer the next morning

asking him if he could throw a little extra my way

because my mom had just almost died

and I needed to almost kill myself to feel better.

And my grandma was home the night I let that stranger shoot me up.

And he told me “if you start to feel like you can’t breathe,

just cough.”

And I was on meth the Christmas that I had COVID

the same way I was when I graduated

alone in a room

quarantined

clutching my pipe

and surrounded by the ghosts of my empty accomplishments.

And I was on meth the morning that my grandmother died.

And I was on meth a week later when my dog died, too.

And I didn’t cry that morning, but my dealer did,

when I told him what I had been through.

Today I’ve been clean for 457 days

and I miss getting high.

But I do have to admit

I missed being able to cry.

Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever”

Casualties afoot as Sony merges Funimation with 2021-acquired Crunchyroll.

reminder that digital libraries aren’t owned, also why pirating digital content is a necessity

au where instead of wanting to murder his own replacement, jason just decides to. replace somebody else. and that's now dick ends up in an increasingly ridiculous back and forth fight between himself and some random fucker who keeps showing up in a nightwing costume pretending to be him

dick's never been more pissed off in his life. theres literally nothing he did to deserve this, and now he has to fight for the vigilante persona HE created? it only gets worse because the more frustrated dick gets about the whole situation, the funnier this fake nightwing seems to find it.

it gets personal when damian starts calling the fake nightwing his big brother too. of course, jason was there first, but dick doesn't know that. and it's driving him fucking insane

he thinks that he's got the guy when he stands on top of a building in the middle of a massive fight, tries to do a quadrupal somersault, and promptly eats shit in front of everybody, but instead of realising he's a faker now the rest of the underworld thinks that nightwing's losing his touch.

he cries in alfred's arms at the injustice of it all.

im a violent dog and i know exactly why i bite

i promise all the love you've put into this world hasn't gone to waste. it will find its way back to you. trust me.

you can always give your blorbos mobility aids btw . you can always make them disabled its always morally correct

he pretends to be too tired to walk to get batman to carry him to the batmobile

and then spends the next hour cartwheeling around while batman tries to write reports

Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system

batman has gotta be one of my favorite heroes only because he’ll go through the most borderline traumatic series of events possible where he may or may not have proved an afterlife existed just to drive away in his stupid fucking batcar with his stupid fucking bat ears peeking out
