Always embarrassing realizing you don't know basic facts about your friends. Like yeah hey, here's this person I love dearly, I've known them for 23 years, we've been through so much together. They're currently working in a lab.... developing... medicine? and also getting a PhD. I think. Don't ask me what subject.

Here are the 2024 vaccine recommendation schedules. They’ve already been wiped from the cdc site. Save them and share widely, especially to your friends with kids.
my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"
OP the tags!!
[image description: tumblr tags that say: “he showed me pictures of his (very beautiful) nieces and was like. ‘She’s a doctor’ ‘this one is in finance’ ‘oh this one has a terrible boyfriend I’ll introduce you to her go steal her from him’. And I asked my guy how many of them like women. And he was like only one but you’re so tall you can change their minds”. End ID]
Too much movement makes your joints hurt and too little movement also makes your joints hurt. This would imply that there's an optimal amount of movement that allows your joints to not hurt. This is a lie.
Fanon I hate: that Jason could easily beat Dick in a fight. In canon, Dick is significantly more powerful than Jason. He’s one of the most powerful non-meta hand-to-hand fighters in the world. Yes, in reality, a bigger, stronger guy would win — but this is comic book logic! Yes, in reality having guns means you’d probably win — but comic book heroes can dOdGE BuLLeTs.
You could argue that Dick would be weakened because he’s trying not to kill and Jason doesn’t have that hang-up, but that didn’t stop Dick from beating Deathstroke.
Canon power ratings go like: Cass > Dick > Bruce > all the other bat kids.
And we can add that even Cass, who is the best (partly because of her ability to read body language), has a hard time reading Dick's body language. It has even been said that Dick is never the same twice in a fight, because he adapts to an abnormal rhythm, changing and flowing as if he were "dancing" (said by Cass and Lady Shiva).
And, while definitely not on her level, Dick can also read body language, managing to detect upcoming movements, something that, although like any other bat, Jason is also trained, he never reached the same level of training as Dick, since body language is not something he learned only from Bruce, but from his time in the circus (any artist has to know how to read and project emotions with the body).
And it's likely that while Cass would normally win, it's not impossible to assume that Dick could pull off the occasional fight and emerge victorious, especially due to his strategic skill and ability to improvise, since Dick is a strategist almost at Bruce's level, but he is far superior when it comes to improvising to adapt.
So... Yeah, Dick is definitely stronger than Jason, if he stands a chance even against Cass, the absolute best of the family, there's no way Jason can be better than him in combat.
This is your regular scheduled reminder that Dick has not gained the respect of the frickin Justice League but LED THEM. This man has the crazy respect of *everyone in their world. *
And if you think the heroes are going to respect him just for being a hero, I'll also add to the reminder that villains respect him too, like Slade, Lady Shiva, and Ra's... Even the fucking Joker.
The idea of “but everyone knows that” needs to stop.
I saw a post about someone chiding Millennials for not knowing about JKRowlings transphobia, and asking how it is at all possible that people can exist in the world and the internet and, you know, not know.
Which I mean, I get. It is so present in so many of my online spaces that it seems astounding that someone could simply be ignorant! It feels impossible!
But let me tell you a story:
I went on a girls trip with a bunch of friends. All of us are rather incredibly liberal and all of us are incredibly online.
One girl would not stop talking about Harry Potter.
At one point, another girl asked her why she was ok with supporting it, and she had no real clue that JK Rowling was at all transphobic. She had heard that she likes to support Lesbian causes and thought “oh ok cool!” And that was it. She was AGOG with the news and rather horrified.
I must once again emphasize that she was an incredibly online person. She’s a foodie and a restaurant blogger.
Later in the trip we were picking restaurants and I suggested one I found on Google, and she gasped at me. Actually gasped, asking how I could ever be okay picking that one.
The shock must’ve been on my face, because she then told me all of the shitty things that restaurateur does. He abuses staff. Underpays them. Fires them on a whim. Is known for being one of the worst people to his employees in the entire restaurant business on this coast.
And she was so shocked I had never heard of this. Because in her mind, I was just as online as her. And in her online world, EVERYONE knew about this guy.
So I think the moral of this story is: always approach the other person with some empathy. Even online people, even people you think MUST know about how bad people are, may not have heard. It may truly be just them being on a different sphere of the internet than you.
So be gentle, be kind when letting people know they might not have heard about the cancellation of XYZ person. Don’t assume that everyone knows all the same info as you.
By all means, let them know so they can make informed decisions, but being kind will go a lot further than attacking them for some info they might not know yet.
You might be frustrated by the library never having a complete manga collection on its shelves at any given time, but the 12 year old checking out 14 volumes of One Piece at once is vital to the library ecosystem. He's like the sea otter keeping the kelp forest from being devastated by an excess of sea urchins.
To those curious some other keystone library species include:
—the retirees who’ve read more murder mysteries than I’ve had hot meals
—the paperback romance girlies (gender neutral) who check out every single bodice ripper the second it hits the shelves
—the dads very slowly making their way through a ‘1001 movies to see before you die’ list
—the one-man criterion collection who checks out like, three movies per day and brings them back the next. (TV series are only a minor roadblock.)
—kids who like Minecraft
---The new parents checking out 47 picture books for their 7 month old baby who clearly has nothing going on in their head except the Wii Sports Resort theme song
I suggest using your local library!
