the big 2's recent majorly evil actions have created both positive + negative waves on my timelines, the worst of which being an uptick in reductionist + overly prescriptive takes on what superheros are/are not and what function they serve

Transmasc paths of transition

I have reached a point where I am astonished that I am still alive. How is this body still breathing? How does this heart still beat? How can I walk, see, sleep, or speak? Nothing here resembles human life, not even the life of animals. By God, by God, by God, not even the life of animals.
We are in urgent need of protection and a safe place to live. We’re raising support to help us escape danger and rebuild our lives in safety. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to security and hope. 💛

Since we are supporting trans people, Michi is still looking for work and spends most of their time helping other people.
Please consider helping them directly via their ko-fi. They are one of the best humans I have known.

@lucianovecchio.bsky.social @kierongillen.bsky.social hi, random q! i was looking thru gustave doré's illustrations of the divine comedy + this one reminded me so much of the ROPOX finale that i wanted to ask whether it/the scene illustrated was a point of inspiration or intentional reference!
