NEW SCREENSHOTS!! THIS LOOKS GOOD AAAAAAHSHDJDJ

I'll raise a glass or five to this!

Can I just say, that when talking about Ric, I really, really need people to stop acting as if Dick holds any of the blame for any of the stuff that’s happening to him because he “forced his family to go away.” I am sooo sick of seeing that take. 

“I mean, Barbara and Bruce and the family tried to help Dick but he pushed them away so there was nothing they could do”…oh, you mean like that one time that Dick tried to comfort Bruce in the aftermath of Jason’s death and Bruce punched him:

New Teen Titans #55

And still a couple of weeks later, Dick tried again. Dick was so nervous and scared that Bruce was going to hurt him and kick him out of the house again that he was actually sick to his stomach with it, and he still showed up, knocking at Bruce’s door, trying to help him. 

New Teen Titans #57 So why does the thought of seeing him feel like World War 2 is being fought in my stomach? But I can’t keep avoiding the issue can I? I’ve got to see Batman. No matter how painful it might get. 

And then Bruce freaking ran away: 

New Teen Titans #55 He had to know I wanted to speak with him, so he ran before we had our confrontation. Alfred, I’m definitely feeling you’re right. Something’s wrong with him, and he’s avoiding the very people who could try to help him. 

And the Titans call needing Dick’s help, which would be the perfect reason for Dick to leave and not have to deal with this mess, and DICK STILL CHASES AFTER BRUCE TO HELP HIM. Because for Dick, it wasn’t about him, it was about helping Bruce when he was hurting, no matter what. 

And hey, let’s talk about Damian. How, in the beginning, Damian would always tell Dick that he was unworthy to be Batman’s heir. How he told Dick that he didn’t need him and didn’t respect him and would do things his way. 

Batman and Robin (2009) #2

And after all that guess what? Dick still freaking chased after Damian because he didn’t want him to be hurt, still did everything he could to help him and keep him safe. Even though Damian didn’t ask for it and even though it was hard and thankless, Dick still did it because Damian needed him regardless of what he thought he knew. 

Batman and Robin (2009) #3

Same with Tim, when he was struggling with Bruce’s death and falling apart and ran away from the manor. Dick was hurting too. He was dealing with all 100 of Bruce’s obligations that had just fallen into his lap. And Tim had made it clear that he didn’t want Dick’s help. But even as Tim fought to make him leave, Dick still tried to be there for him. Kept sending people his way. Didn’t give up on him. 

Red Robin #4

And I could go on and on and on because there are so many instances where Dick went out of his way to be there for his family even when they tried to push him away or didn’t make it easy. So freaking many. 

Dick’s doctor, the one that Bruce chose, the one that Dick thought he could trust…she had brainwashed him, conditioned him to be uncomfortable around his family, and Dick still went to the manor and gave the whole family thing a chance. And Bruce? Traumatized Dick with a video of Dick getting shot in the head because he needed Nightwing now and he didn’t care if he had to harm Dick to make that happen.

Nightwing Annual #2 

And Dick is horrified and angry because they hurt him with this, and so he tells them all to leave him alone, says that he wants no part in something this because it scares him…and that’s somehow unreasonable on his part? That makes it alright that his family, the one with a billionaire’s funds and all the resources in the world, just gave up and left Dick all alone to live homeless, on the streets, after getting shot in the head? Without even his skills as a vigilante to protect him in a rough town like Bludhaven (because–amnesia!!!)? That makes it okay that they haven’t even bothered to check up on Dick to notice that he was being attacked and manipulated by Scarecrow, and the Court of Owls, and the Joker until it was too late? 

Oh no, Dick told Barbara to go away one time! Shut up I hate it here. 

Family doesn’t just help when it’s convenient and easy to do so. People need to knock it off and stop acting like Bruce and the rest of the family is in anyway justified. 

YES say that it’s bad writing, YES say that it’s out of character, YES say that DC should do better, but NO do not try to act like Dick holds ANY of them blame for being shot in the head and brainwashed and traumatized and abandoned! 

Freedom is at risk. Any disagreeing voice is quashed

JUST LET ME BE.

Fifty years is not long ago, this history is still alive and playing out. We need to keep the momentum moving forward to equality and not be intimidated to moving backwards

These slurs are disgusting!

9 year old Dick Grayson: *watching a movie at the manor* Bruce: Hey kiddo, what are you watching? Dick: Oh the Lion King, look the dad lion just saved his son from a stampede and is climbing up the cliff Bruce: * Who knows exactly what is about to happen in the next minute, just fucking grabs the first object he can get his hands on and smashes the TV screen before Dick can see Mufasa fall to his death* Dick:…….Bruce wha- Bruce: There was a spider on the screen. 

So true!!! In addition to the many "station roads," and "school roads," that are just about as creative as 182nd avenue

Lmaoooooo

Well, one teacher is pissed.

Male-dominated funding panels may also explain why we have so few drugs available for uterine failure. Every day 830 women around the world die due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth (in some African countries more women die annually from childbirth than at the height of the Ebola epidemic). Over half of these deaths are explained as being a result of problems with contractions, often because the contractions are too weak for the woman to give birth. The only medical treatment available for women whose contractions aren’t strong enough is the hormone oxytocin, which works about 50% of the time. Those women go on to give birth vaginally. Women who don’t respond to oxytocin are given an emergency caesarean. In the UK weak contractions are the reason given for a majority of the 100,000 emergency caesareans carried out each year. 

We currently have no way of knowing which women will respond to oxytocin, which clearly isn’t ideal: all women, including those for whom it will result in a pointless and harrowing delay, have to go through the process. This happened to a friend of mine in 2017. After being in hospital in excruciating pain for two days (on her own for much of it as her partner had been sent home), she was only 4 cm dilated. Eventually she was taken off for a Csection, and she and the baby were fine. But the experience left her traumatised. She had flashbacks for the first few weeks after she gave birth. When she talks about the internal exams and procedures, she describes it as a violent assault. It was, she says, brutal. But what if it didn’t have to be this way? What if they’d known from the beginning that she was going to need a caesarean? 

In 2016 Susan Wray, a professor of cellular and molecular physiology at the University of Liverpool, gave a lecture to the Physiological Society. Wray is also the director of the Centre of Better Births in Liverpool Women’s Hospital and she explained that recent research revealed that women with contractions that were too weak to give birth had more acid in their myometrial blood (the blood in the part of the uterus that causes contractions). The higher the levels of acid were, the higher the likelihood a woman would end up needing a caesarean, because oxytocin isn’t, it turns out, that effective on women with an acidic blood pH. But Wray didn’t simply want to be able to predict the need for a caesarean. She wanted to be able to avoid it. Together with her fellow researcher Eva Wiberg-Itzel, Wray conducted a randomised control trial on women with weak contractions. Half of them were given the usual oxytocin; half were given bicarbonate of soda, and then given the usual oxytocin an hour later. The change was dramatic: 67% of women given just oxytocin went on to give birth vaginally, but this rose to 84% if they were given bicarbonate of soda an hour before. As Wray pointed out, the bicarb dose wasn’t tailored to body weight, it wasn’t tailored to the amount of acid in the blood, and the women weren’t given repeated doses. So the efficacy could turn out to be even higher. […]

But it looks like we aren’t going to see the fruits of her labour any time soon. When Wray discovered that the British Medical Research Council was offering funding for research that would benefit low- and middle-income countries, she decided to apply. And yet, despite all the data about how dangerous weak contractions can be, she was turned down. The research was ‘not a high enough priority’. So currently we have only one treatment for women with weak contractions, and it doesn’t work half the time. Compare this, Wray says, to the around fifty drugs available for heart failure. 

The evidence that women are being let down by the medical establishment is overwhelming. The bodies, symptoms and diseases that affect half the world’s population are being dismissed, disbelieved and ignored. And it’s all a result of the data gap combined with the still prevalent belief, in the face of all the evidence that we do have, that men are the default humans. They are not. They are, to state the obvious, just men. And data collected on them does not, cannot, and should not, apply to women. We need a revolution in the research and the practice of medicine, and we need it yesterday.
