300 people.

Three hundred people.

Three. Hundred. People.

Friday Fics Fix- Batty Allen

So, I saw Justice League this week.

It's quite good, actually.

Not great, no, but not as terrible as a butt-tonne of critics would have you believe (though I could tell them exactly what needs editing in that first section to tighten that baby the f**k up.)*

Still, Ben Affleck and Gal Godot are not my favouritest** people for reasons of sexual harassment and Zionism respectively, but I love Diana, and Batman's Batman, so there you have it.

*Nope, no coffee. This is actually me on Diet Coke and an emotional rollercoaster of a week (Yay!)

**It's a word. Shhhh.

Nerd Church - Hate Pretending to be Love is Still Hate

(Warning: this post contains discussions of homophobia (inc. general queerphobia) and transphobia, in a religious context (gets a little controversial))




Note:

If you know who I'm talking about in this post, please leave it be. Myself and this person parted somewhat civilly and I don't have the energy to stir it up again.






Just to be clear: I don't mean to be offensive to Christianity in this post, I don't consider people like this to be genuine Christians.

There are people who hide behind the shield of Christianity in order to spread hatred and bigotry. Those people are not Christian.

This week, I cut ties to someone I thought was pretty cool, because they turned out not to be.

They thought it was OK to support the views of a 'Christian' blogger who wrote an open letter to the LGBTQ+ community.

This letter claimed to be loving. It claimed to be tolerant. Instead, it spread hate.

Friday Fics Fix - Spidey Sorts Stuff Out

I love you, fandom.

I love the way you see the world. I love the way you take the icons of pop culture and make them the way they should be.

I love the way you write your li'l hearts out - because words can do anything. Anything. I promise! :)
