I like DC characters; I just hate DC
Please also tag for Fabian Nicieza and Grant Morrison, as well as the issue numbers of the arcs in which they both butchered Jason's characterization, as well as for typical trigger warnings. I am very serious about this- I unfollow people who don't fucking tag.
I am likewise willing to tag for anything. I do my best to tag for anything that might generally be a problem for someone, but if I'm posting something you need to Savior, just drop me an ask and I'll do my best.

Hello CeCe Supporters!The Call-In campaign for CeCe to get her correct dosage of hormones was an incredible success! The prison’s health administration were so “inconvenienced”, they were compelled to clear the issue immediately.CeCe is doing fine and looking fabulous. She is steadily devouring the books that everyone is sending - currently she is reading Angela Davis and is totally inspired.She spoke a bit about the push from some supporters to launch large-scale campaigns to get Gov. Mark Dayton to pardon her, and/or to have her moved to a women’s facility. She talked about how these campaigns would not only not benefit her, but how they exceptionalize her in a way that she doesn’t want.The pardoning process would not only be painful for her, but were she even to get considered, it wouldn’t be until after she served her sentence. She thinks about people incarcerated for much longer terms than she, and for incredibly minor offenses (mostly drug related). Even if the emotional hardship of the process was something she felt up for, and even if the slim chance of it working actually succeeded, the outcome of her getting a pardon while others sat in prison is antithetical to her values and the whole reason she is struggling against this racist system in the first place.As for being transfered to a women’s facility, her thoughts are: Prison sucks. Period. CeCe is not safe in any prison, women’s or men’s. Prisons are not safe for anyone. Period. CeCe asserts (as do we) that incarcerated individuals should be able to decide for themselves where they would be safest within the system. For now, CeCe is fine being in a men’s facility. For supporters to push for her to be transferred from one hell to another only serves the purpose of misdirecting energy away from the real problems of incarceration in america, and the problem of the Prison Industrial Complex as a whole.To sum it up: CeCe does not want supporters to launch long-term campaigns on her behalf that exceptionalize her situation. Also importantly, these specific campaigns: a pardon from Gov. Dayton and getting transferred to a women’s facility, wouldn’t actually be beneficial to her at all. Short term campaigns such as call-ins to administration, and media blasts, are targeted efforts that let the DOC know that CeCe has widespread support, and it sends a message that we are watching them and will respond to prisoner’s needs - CeCe’s today, and other incarcerated transpeople tomorrow.CeCe sends her love and gratitude to everyone who called-in on her behalf. She wishes that every wrongly incarcerated person had the same incredible support that she has, and prays for a world without bars, a world without cells.Towards Justice,CeCe Support Committee

SB.Demand that Chrishaun CeCe McDonald be administered the 20 milligrams of hormones that she is prescribed and allowed by court order!
CeCe is doing well in St. Cloud, even though she is putting up with a lot of harassment from guards and administration.
It took three weeks for her to begin receiving her hormones, and we learned yesterday that they are only giving her 6 milligrams instead of the 20 milligrams she is prescribed. This is egregious and insulting.
CeCe is asking her supporters to call-in to St. Cloud Health Services Director Cheri Meyer, MN DOC Health Director Nanette Larson and St. Cloud Psychological Services Director Bruce Hedge. Please CALL ALL THREE!
Demand that Chrishaun CeCe McDonald be administered the 20 milligrams of hormones that she is prescribed and allowed by court order!
Cheri Meyer (St. Cloud Health Services Director): (320)240-3077
Nanette Larson (MN DOC Health Services Director): (651)361-7280
Bruce Hedge (St. Cloud Psychological Services Director): (320)240-3030
Call today, call tomorrow, and leave messages. Fill their voicemail boxes and let them know that we are watching and that CeCe is not alone!
Please be firm but courteous when you call. Remember that prison administrators have enormous control over CeCe’s treatment, and antagonizing them could be harmful to CeCe.
Thank you for yr support of CeCe.

please take a moment to sign this petition and to pass it on.
It asks that CeCe serve her time in a women’s prison rather than a men’s facility, where she is currently set to serve her time.Hey everyone, I know that you all have nothing but the best of intentions, but recently on Twitter members of CeCe’s support committee have been talking about this. Here:
The only petition made with CeCe’s consultation was the “Michael Freeman - Drop the Charges”. Nothing else is planned.
And here:
Dear everyone: stop starting petitions for CeCe without consulting with her or her support committee. It’s not about you. #freecece
Let’s please respect CeCe’s wishes and the work of those on the ground trying to help her.
IMPORTANT
My bad .
Oh, crap, I should’ve checked on those other petitions I reblogged first.
Although McDonald has been under state supervision for the past 366 days (in jail and under in-home monitoring) the judge determined that she will only receive credit for 275 days served, excluding the time she spent on in-home monitoring. Between this time served and time off for good behavior, McDonald will likely spend less than two more years in prison. Additionally, McDonald was ordered to pay $6410.00 in restitution.
CeCe McDonald isn’t just going to be incarcerated in a men’s prison for ~two years as punishment for surviving; she’s got to pay over six thousand dollars too.
I’m all out of words right now. The donations page is here. Go.
How the fuck do you randomly just cut nearly 100 days that someone spent in jail?
Jesus fuck they are running her through every fucking mill they can, aren’t they?
Fuck you Judge. I hope someone attacks you for being a bigot and when you fight back in self-defense you fucking have to deal with what you put her through.
FUCK YOU.

please sign and pass this around as much as possible:
Self-defense is not a crime.
Surviving is not a crime.
And yet, in the city of Minneapolis, a woman has been convicted of exactly that. CeCe McDonald, a young trans woman, was convicted of manslaughter. Manslaughter, in this case, meaning the act of defending herself from her attackers. Several men attacked her, with the obvious intent to kill, on the basis of her race and gender identity. In the act of protecting her own life, she killed one; and was charged with murder.
As if this was not enough, the judge in her case was quite obviously biased against her from the start. He selectively excluded evidence that could cast her attacker in a negative light, while permitting evidence that cast her in a negative light. As such, she accepted a plea bargain, down from forty years. And she was sentenced to over three years in a men’s prison.
A woman was sentenced to a men’s prison, for the crime of defending herself from someone who intended to kill her. In such a place, she will almost certainly face more of the same, and worse.
Please, reverse this decision. Pardon her. Let justice prevail.[ via @Free_CeCe’s retweet of https://twitter.com/#!/ihatehackney/status/198405894793478146 ]

i know i’ve posted about this before, but you can send cece books in jail and she would love to receive them! it’s a great thing to do if you’re feeling sad/angry (like i am) and want to direct those feelings somewhere for a second. it’s also a great thing to do if you’re feeling inspired by cece’s strength and want to thank her for that. (or at least those are the times that i end up sending her books)
she has a list of books she’s interested in reading listed on her website as well as info about her taste in books (i think she has pretty rad taste in books, btw, but that’s totally biased by the fact that her taste in books is kinda similar to my own)
there are some pretty specific instructions about sending her books in jail (like they need to be new paperbacks sent directly from the publisher or from somewhere online like amazon or powell’s) which is all on the website linked above so be careful to follow that.
also be mindful of the fact that her sentencing is in a month (june 4) and she will most likely be moved to a different facility at that point, so check back for an updated mailing address around then.
