Thoughts on dick/wally and dinah/babs??

Dick/Wally - no, i don’t read fic for it, platonic, best friends: I never watched Young Justice! That seems to be where all the good Dick/Wally action is but I missed it entirely. Also I tend to read Wally as straight, and also extremely in love with his wife. I love their friendship but they’ve just never struck me as people who want to kiss each other.

Dinah/Babs - i’m picky about it, i would read fic for it, romantic, sexual, best friends: My OTP for Dinah is always going to be Ollie, but Dinah and Babs have such a great, intense, complicated, delicious relationship, so as long as the fic doesn’t trash Ollie more than he deserves (and he does somewhat deserve it), I’m on board! I mean…

Hey I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re an amazing writer and the best JayRoy writer hands down. You really get their characters and all your JayRoy fics brighten my day.

Aw, you’re so sweet, thank you!

i feel like i know the answer to jayroy, so how about timkon?

I feel so guilty about this answer! I 100% get why people ship it, I definitely see all the shippy moments in canon, and I like both characters. But when I got into comics, this was a rarepair - TimKonBart was way more common because that was the Young Justice dynamic, and it was only after the 2003 Teen Titans run aggressively recast Bart as the idiot comic relief to the Serious Bromance of Tim and Kon that TimKon became a prominent ship. Bart is my favorite so that sidelining has always pissed me off, and though I don’t blame fandom in the slightest for it - I blame Geoff Johns, solely and personally - it’s always colored my reaction to TimKon as a ship. I just can’t get into it. (I didn’t cross off “best friends” because BART SHOULD BE PART OF THAT, and I didn’t cross off “platonic” because I do actually think there’s a mutual attraction there, it just leaves me cold.)

That said, I do read fic sometimes because my friends write really good fic and also because I’ve read everything in the JayRoy and JonDami tags and I need more Content. 😂

More dispatches from the front lines of the culture war aka Texas. The rage is never ending and exhausting

I’m not trying to be a shit about this but like we *need* solidarity over this because the alarm was being sounded almost 20 years ago when W let Texas (and other southwestern states) start cutting out Mexican and Chicano history.

As a reminder, Texas constitutes one of the largest textbook markets. Whatever they remove, smaller and/or poorer states will struggle to put back or compensate for when they make their textbook purchases.

That means how Texas goes a disproportionate amount of school resources go.

This is an extremely, extremely important addition ^

Texas has an enormous sway on textbooks everywhere.

When it comes to almost any issue…Texas isn’t “just Texas.” The people in the notes that are like “Texas should just secede” or “can we just get rid of Texas already” are missing a critical point here. (And throwing the community activists who are trying to combat this stuff under the bus, but I digress.)

As I (and many others for longer and better than me) have tried to explain: Texas is a state of 29 million, and very powerful. The state government is NOT acting in the interests of the majority of the people, they are trying to maintain their decades long stranglehold on power, by doing everything they can, including miseducating youth with propaganda.

Even in the best of voter turnout years, only 52% of the eligible voting population casts a ballot in Texas. Communities of color, low income communities, disabled voters and all kinds of other marginalized folks have had their voting access nearly strangled to death.

What happens in Texas is coming for everywhere. We should be talking about national policies to curb this shit.

I worked in textbook publishing for ten years, and I cannot overemphasize how important Texas is to the textbook market. What Texas decides should be taught affects what the rest of the US teaches.
