The flood in the basement pretty much ruined two long boxes of comics.
But I found my Jim Lee autographed issues safe. Had to have been dragoncon 98 or 99. I don’t think he even charged. If he did it was something really cheap (I was a broke ass college student with no job)

Last number I saw was about 1200 people arrested by ICE under Trump’s new orders. I’m curious about the breakdown of those people. How many were from central or South America? How many were from European countries, etc.

Quick trip to NYC with two of my favorite people for maximum nerding. Sold out Madison Square Garden watching people play dungeons and dragons live. Partner and I cosplayed as Liam and Prescott from the Court of Crown and Candy campaign

This image has been floating around the past few days for reasons.
This also very much applies to modern day adoption. Georgia Tann turned external care of children in need of homes into what is now a $24.7b/year industry.

A response to a video talking about abusive adoptive parents. The bar is on the floor. Society treats adoptive parents as glorious martyrs who can do no wrong and demands we be eternally grateful

Looking at the website for the sickening organization that grants up to $30k to hopeful buyers who can’t afford a baby on their own.
Noticed this image and the hashtags.
Adoption is supposed to be about finding safe, permanent homes for children in need of one, not finding kids for homes.

The irony, hypocrisy, and sheer cognitive dissonance of an AP saying that adoption isn’t a right, but that “each parent has the right to parent their biological child”.
You can’t make this shit up.

Since there will be a lot of talk about being grateful over the next few days, here is a reminder that you don’t owe gratefulness to anyone.
Gratefulness, like respect, is earned.
This is especially true for adoptees.

So many transracial adoptees would like a word. It’s practically a rule that we were bought by racist fucks.
AF as German-Irish. AM is Puerto Rican. Both of them and most of their families are/were racist fucks. But sure, adopt an Asian baby because that’s what was available.

Got banned from r/adoption for arguing that if agencies break out legal fees separately and still change price based on race, age, gender, health of the child, you don’t get to say you’re only paying for “a service” vs buying a child. 🥚

I still check threads out of habit but holy shit it’s become so bad. Each take is worse than the last there. It’s approaching X levels.

Because I am AsAm and a TRA, most people assume I am a transnational adoptee. But my mother had been here for a few months (not a citizen yet) and I was born here. Always feel awkward being included in transnational convos even tho I had no connection to diaspora growing up. More imposter syndrome 🥚

Journalers / writers, what’s your preferred notebook? I’ve been using cheap $10 ones from Amazon but recently picked up a Leuchtturm 1917 and am kind of disappointed. Love the texture but the paper is so thin that everything shows up on the other side

No matter how well you know an adoptee, if you ask them how they feel about their #adoption there is a very good chance that they will lie to you in some way.
Society does not want to hear us or our stories unless they are happy stories.

Started with my new therapist today. She is an Asian transracial adoptee as well. And she complimented my shirt. 🥚

Had extra fed starter left that I wanted to use up so I made sourdough pizza.

Adoption agencies set prices of children based on race, gender, age, and health of the child. On average, Black children cost half as much as whiten children. Some agencies even separate out legal fees in their breakdown
But please keep telling us how adoption isn’t buying children.

The best thing about National Adoption Awareness Month is that some agencies run sales.
But sure, keep saying that adoption isn’t “buying babies”
