“I have written a poem for a woman who rides a bus in New York City. She’s a maid, she has two shopping bags. When the bus stops abruptly, she laughs. If the bus stops slowly, she laughs. I thought, ‘Mmm, a-ha.’ Now, if you don’t know black features, you may think she’s laughing. But she wasn’t laughing. She was simply extending her lips and making a sound. I said, ‘Oh, I see.’ That’s that survival apparatus. Now, let me write about that to honor this woman who helps us to survive.” Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise (2016) dir. Rita Coburn & Bob Hercules

That is technically a Saturday….

But we managed to circumvent the technical difficulties and now we offer you the Mod Picks of the week :D

This is a short one, sorry guys! 

Mod Aurora:

To Be Enough by graysonsflight ( @gothamsgrace) Rating: Teen and Up Audiences | Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply | Pairings: Dick Grayson/Barbara Gordon, Dick Grayson & Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson & Jason Todd| Words: 2952 | Chapters: 1/1 | Status: Complete| Summary: She and Dick didn’t talk about it often, but Barbara knew that whenever Dick and Bruce fought, Jason’s adoption was the elephant in the room. She wondered if Bruce knew it too. Commentary: I love everything this author writes - and she is especially spectacular when it comes to a Bruce who cares for his children, but doesn’t always know how. And when it comes to a Dick Grayson that only wants love.

Raven & Nightwing

all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.

Me on Monday vs Me on Friday...

obsessed with the truly vast and desperately lost sadness that inhabits within logan. no one will look him in the eye, no one will level with him, no one will show themselves to him, he insists and insists and demands for a shred of human connection because he is a living dead man who doesn't know he has died. and he has died because he no longer can accept the love he craves even when it is offered to him: he is a starving man but his stomach has long ago shrivelled up and been excised, he sewed his mouth shut and doesn't even remember it. he is ostracized in his own empire, he is exiled from humanity, he has turned himself into a thing that kills everything it touches and then begs to be touched. midas king coded !!!!!
