POSTING THIS AGAIN!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!!!
I said this on a reblog, but it's important so I'm making a separate post:
If you WANT to be pregnant and you succeed in getting pregnant: do not tell anyone about it for the first three and a half months. The abortion bans have already led to people being imprisoned for miscarriages. And miscarriages are more common than we like to admit, especially in the first trimester.
Your personal data that is being collected can and has already been mined and sold to marketing firms and law enforcement. You donât need to be Margaret Atwood to imagine who your private information might be sold to, or what period-tracking data might be used for in a Republican state, or in a conservative court of law.
I really hate to sound alarmist, but this is Christofascist America in 2022, please protect yourself and act accordingly.

âBut the worst enemy you can meet will always be yourself; you lie in wait for yourself in caverns and forests. Lonely one, you are going the way to yourself! And your way goes past yourself, and past your seven devils! You will be a heretic to yourself and witch and soothsayer and fool and doubter and unholy one and villain. You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame: how could you become new, if you had not first become ashes?â

I've been meaning to properly read the batman comics but idk how or where to start,,, pls help?
I actually started reading batman by literally searching up "batman comic reading order" ... huge mistake. unless you want to read the comics in order. that's up to you but for me, there were just too many comics and some of them, I had no interest in but I had to "push through them" to read the comic that I actually did want to read.
tip one: search up "(character) recommended reading" and not "(character) reading order" - this one works for any character, that's why I wrote "character"
tip two: read batman: year one. I'm not necessarily into telling people what to read, because sometimes they might not like it or it's not their style, but this comic is basically his origin story in four short issues, which I personally found were an amazing start to delving into his character
tip three: I feel like everyone says this, but just pick one up. just pick one and start reading. more often than not, you won't need to have prerequisite knowledge to understand that comic, but if you do, you can always go back to the comic that the comic is leading off from
tip four: have some knowledge about the rest of the batfam. you don't need to know their backstories or anything major, just know who they are. like alfred is bruce's butler/father figure, (dick, jason, tim, cass, damian) are all his children and vigilantes (nightwing, red hood, red robin...etc)
tip five: have fun :))
some websites that personally helped me when I started <33
these websites aren't the best, obviously, but they are a great bridge (I guess) into batman's character.
I have no desire to fit in. No plans to walk with the crowd. I have my own mind, heart and soul. I am me and it has taken me years to realize how important that is.

dick grayson is tiny
look at him. heâs so darn teeny next to bruce
watch as teeny bopper dick grayson gets booped on the nose
he is in fact so small that bruce just. grabs him and hauls him up by the scruff of his jacket
(also, the plot is incredible, as is the characterization and back story of scarecrow. the dynamic between robin and batman is nostalgically endearing. itâs nice to see the original dynamic duo in action again. plus, thereâs a thoughtful character study of bruce)
but iâm serious about dick grayson being small. like. look at this. look at it. iâm gonna die from a gi tatio n
