Speaking of which the Batfamily might be the most raped family in Gotham.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Also, Bill Bryson hiked the Appalachians kind of alone- well, he had that crazy dude with him for part of it.
Heh. Well, one can hike the trail alone, sure. But not "hike the trail" a la South Carolina governor

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
TB, was it you that wanted more reading about aces? Here's Men, Masculinity, Sexuality, and Rape.
I'm glad to read stuff about aces, but that whole thing really put me off. First of all, I assumed it was written by a man until about halfway through. But no, it was a woman (who I'm not sure is asexual) writing about how *hard* it is for a man to be asexual compared to a woman.
And I just can't quite accept that her life experience allows her to make that sweeping statement.
And the shit she says about rape (particularly about "how likely" it is for a woman to be believed when she says she's raped) made me violently stabby. I understand she was making a comparison, saying that stereotypes and social mores make it very very unlikely for a man to be believed if he claims to have been raped by a woman, because men are always supposed to be wanting to get sexed up. But I have to question what goddamn planet she's living on if she thinks women's claims of rape are accepted in these overwhelming numbers.
Bah.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Hot and humid with occasional thunderstorms? Yup, it's summer.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sparky, I just realized my parents are involved in a lot of dog charities and groups and probably have a wide circle of people who can help look for Sass so I sent them the info. I really am hoping Sass is home safely very soon.

Heh. Saw a vanity plate reading SKYWKR on my way home....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
