#2007...

oh god...I just found my old art for the Project Rooftop redesign StephRobin thing...it included the cluemaster mask...I predicted the future for her post-reboot (not really it was already in Robin 101 that's where I got it from) and all these years later I've decided I don't like it...

happy birthday to the only fucking movie that matters

Situating terrorism as a pseudo-patriotic narcissistic discourse provides an opportunity to examine what is at stake for the terrorist in this inversion. It is exactly this reversal that is enacted in the narrative of the United States as the victim of terrorism. Commenting on this deployment of “the culture industry of ‘trauma’ [which] leads to a mystification of history, politics, and cultural critique,” the authors of a statement titled “Transnational Feminist Practices against War” write, “Signs of the current trauma discourse’s ethnocentricity come through in media depictions staged within the therapeutic framework that tend to afford great meaning, significance, and sympathy to those who lost friends and family members in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. By contrast, people who have lost loved ones as a consequence of US foreign policy elsewhere are not depicted as sufferers of trauma or injustice.”
