So what’s going on in Boston right now is pretty fucking scary, right? And, like me, you’re probably sitting in front of your computers in varying places around the world, feeling pretty helpless. 

I know I am. I never know what to say when things like these happens. But it occurred to me, as I was reading through the news, that a lot of the people that follow me here have one thing in common - a burning love for Captain Marvel. And you know where Carol Danvers is from? Boston. So here’s what we’re going to do, Carol Corps!

If you are in the local area, and you want to donate blood, fucking kudos! The Red Cross has announced that they are currently fine with blood, but they WILL need more over the next week to replenish supplies that will be used today and tomorrow. Find your local Red Cross here, and call to see if they are in need.

More than blood, the Red Cross are going to need funds. Disasters like this are going to tap emergency services dry, so if you can donate, DO DONATE. This is the perfect thing to do for those of us not in the area, who can’t donate blood for any reason, like me. I know a lot of us are financially strapped right now, but $5 isn’t much, right? If 100 people donate $5, suddenly you have an ass-crap-ton of money. Let’s get a donate chain going, Carol Corps! If you were setting aside some money for my next commission sale, I would much rather you donate it today!

Now, let’s take care of ourselves. I’m following the BBC for news updates, because I personally find a lot of american news stations to be biased and kinda scary. But Wolf Blitzer had a moment of wisdom in which he urged people not to jump to conclusions. As yet, no group of organisation has claimed responsibility for these explosions. We do not know who caused them. Please don’t panic, and don’t jump to unfounded conclusions!

If you are trying to find someone that was at the marathon today, you can use this form to do so. Reconnect with friends and family here. If you are shaken or upset by any of this, THAT IS FINE. Just because you are not directly affected does not mean you are not susceptible to distress or shock. Matt Fraction posted an extremely helpful entry right here. Take care of yourselves.

Wrapping up, I want to post a quote that I have seen making the rounds on twitter and tumblr thisafternoon. I never had the pleasure of watching Mr. Rogers when I was little, but I found a lot of comfort in this. Guys, we are legion,  we are a great group of people, and there are ways in which we can help ourselves, and eachother. Carol Corps, mobilize!

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.”—Fred Rogers

I love you guys.

You can stop pretending that guns protect women now.

New York Times:

Early last year, after a series of frightening encounters with her former husband, Stephanie Holten went to court in Spokane, Wash., to obtain a temporary order for protection.

Her former husband, Corey Holten, threatened to put a gun in her mouth and pull the trigger, she wrote in her petition. He also said he would “put a cap” in her if her new boyfriend “gets near my kids.” In neat block letters she wrote, “ He owns guns, I am scared.”

The judge’s order prohibited Mr. Holten from going within two blocks of his former wife’s home and imposed a number of other restrictions. What it did not require him to do was surrender his guns.

About 12 hours after he was served with the order, Mr. Holten was lying in wait when his former wife returned home from a date with their two children in tow. Armed with a small semiautomatic rifle bought several months before, he stepped out of his car and thrust the muzzle into her chest. He directed her inside the house, yelling that he was going to kill her.

What saved Holten was not another gun, but a phone. She dial 911, then hid the phone. “The dispatcher heard Ms. Holten begging for her life and quickly directed officers to the scene,” the report tells us.

“For all its rage and terror, the episode might well have been prevented,” NYT goes on. “Had Mr. Holten lived in one of a handful of states, the protection order would have forced him to relinquish his firearms. But that is not the case in Washington and most of the country, in large part because of the influence of the National Rifle Association and its allies.”

I know that the NRA would argue that Stephanie Holten would’ve been better off had she been armed too. But exchanging gunfire with a lunatic does not guarantee success. And since her kids were present, tragedy would be all that more likely. Gun fanatics live in a fantasy world, informed by action movies, where the “good guy” always comes out on top. But in the real world, criminals aren’t automatically incompetent. Justice is a human construct, not a law of physics. In a gun v. gun confrontation, either party can lose. This is why people with guns are more likely to be shot — if I’m a criminal and someone pulls a gun on me, they’re my primary target. And of course, belief in the “good guys always win” theory promoted by the NRA causes people to take stupid risks.

The fact is that there are people who should not have guns. More guns is not the answer here, fewer guns obviously are. There are situations — and this is one — where meeting the NRA’s definition of “pro-gun” is in reality just pro-crime. Cory Holton is obviously scum. He can live without his guns.

And his ex-wife and kids would stand a better chance of living as well. A woman’s chance of being killed by an abuser increases by 700% if he has access to a firearm. That’s just a fact. And it’s a fact the NRA doesn’t want you to know, because they want to be able to sell guns and ammo to criminals like Stephanie Holton’s stalking, abusive ex-husband.

I didn’t really anticipate that I was going to write about this today but enough people are talking about it that it’s time to break it down.

There are some pretty serious and disturbing gender connotations to the way DC Comics is approaching the 75th…
