We trust that time is linear. That it proceeds eternally, uniformly. Into infinity. But the distinction between past, present and future is nothing but an illusion. Yesterday, today and tomorrow are not consecutive, they are connected in a never-ending circle. Everything is connected.
CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION STATUS. You can usually do it at the website of your local secretary of state, or at Vote.org.
Anyone who follows me from Georgia? If not, pass it on.
sigh.. Actually, let me just add, THIS BULLSHIT RIGHT HERE, THIS IS WHY YOUR VOTE MATTERS. You think they’d be so hot to take away your rights if it didn’t?
If you can register to vote by mail DO SO!!! Not only does it give you more time to research your ballot options, it provides a paper trail, so you can PROVE how you voted, no matter how the Russian hackers massage the electronic numbers.
check even if you’re not in georgia!
You can scroll down on this page at Vote.org to find your state’s voter lookup and check your registration status.
I still think it’s hilarious that the reason nobody ever figures out Superman’s secret identity or where he lives or what he does when he’s not saving the planet, is because he already told them all the Kryptonian stuff that can’t be tied to any of his human friends or family. I guarantee you the in-universe wikipedia article on Superman lists his name as Kal-El and the “personal life” section says that he lives full-time at his private fortress of solitude at the north pole. Nobody in the world looks at Clark Kent and thinks “oh my god, maybe he’s superman!” for the same reason nobody ever starts to suspect that their coworker who looks KINDA like Barack Obama is actually secretly Barack Obama – They know who Barack Obama is and know what he does and they know their coworker Greg is Greg and not Barack Obama. They have no reason to assume Barack Obama secretly moonlights as Greg The IT Guy at their workplace even though they’ve never seen Greg and Obama in the same place. At best, “Greg is secretly Obama” would be a running joke at the office, and the same is true at the Daily Planet. “Kal-El of Krypton, who lives in a CRYSTAL PALACE at the NORTH POLE and whose dayjob is SUPERMAN, sometimes puts on a suit and pretends to be a clumsy reporter and lives in a one-bedroom walkup in Metropolis” is a ridiculous concept to anyone who doesn’t already know it’s true

SO GOOD
SCREAM 👏🏻 IT 👏🏻 TO 👏🏻 THE 👏🏻 BACK 👏🏻 SO EVERYONE 👏🏻 CAN 👏🏻 HEAR
His shit eating grin in the last one sells it
I love the idea of Clark Kent turning up to every office Halloween party in an ill-fitting Superman costume from Target.
Still one of my favorite clips from Superman: The Animated Series.
This has gotten bigger since I last saw it ant that’s FANTASTIC
Henry Cavill literally once stood in Time Square, in a superman t-shirt, under a giant poster of himself and no one recognised him, even though he was actively trying to be recognised.
I’ve never seen this post but it just became my favorite post on the internet
Wanna know the kicker?
In the first chapter of JLA’s “Divided We Fall Arc” both Clark and Bruce reveal their civilian identities to the rest of the League. This is post “Tower of Babel” where nobody but Clark still trusts Batman, and in order to start building trust again, Clark urges Bruce to unmask himself to the rest of the team because Bruce obviously knows who everyone else is. Bruce agrees on one condition, Clark has to “unmask” himself as well.
When the big reveal goes down, Kyle Rayner says it best re: Clark being Superman:
“He doesn’t…wear a mask. I never even…thought he had a…day job…”
That’s right, the canon reason why nobody makes the connection between Superman and Clark Kent is because nobody thinks that Superman HAS a civilian identity.
Also, with a really good actor, Clark Kenting is entirely possible, as Christopher Reeve demonstrates in the 1978 Superman film.
There was actually a story where a scientist at Lexcorp developed a computer program to analyse all available evidence and work out who Superman is
It figured out he was Clark…and Lex fired the scientist for wasting company resources because he COULDN’T BELIEVE that Superman would ever “Pretend” to be human because it would mean pretending to be “Weak”
90% of Superman’s disguise is everyone else doing the work for him
it’s on my dash again so i just wanna emphasize that if you advocate for no-children-allowed apartments or rent hikes for people with kids you don’t get to claim to support housing justice
Okay, so, I want to explain a thing here.
CHILDREN ANNOY THE FUCKING SHIT OUT OF ME and if there was an apartment I could rent in a place that would guarantee the little snot-feces balls wouldn’t be in my fucking space if I tried to use common areas, I would rent the hell out of that shit.
Yes, an apartment with 2 bedrooms, should cost more than a 1 bedroom or studio. And no, you shouldn’t be allowed to have a child (over the age 2) living in the same bedroom as an adult, period. And no, more than 2 children (over the age of 5) should never share a single bedroom, period.
What I do however believe should happen, is that someone working 40 hours per week at minimum wage should be able to comfortably afford a 1 bedroom apartment. BUT I also believe there should be a strict limit on the number of children anyone is allowed to have (based on a variety of factors; income psychological and physical health; genetic risk; parenting skills; etc.). I also believe you should be REQUIRED to attend parenting classes (with required paper and practical exams that must be passed) during pregnancy and prior to foster/adoption placements. If you can’t afford to have a child, don’t fucking have a child. It’s that fucking simple.
If a parent commits any form of child abuse (physical, sexual, emotional, intellectual, medical, etc.), they should be involuntarily sterilized and permanently have any and all parental rights other than supervised visitation removed for their lifetime. This beyond mandatory counseling and evaluation to determine root causes and correct them.
In addition, if a fucking landlord can change me a deposit and additional rent for having a PET, they sure as fuck should be allowed to do the same for a CHILD. Children are destructive monsters that are noise and mess factories. They are far more likely to cause problems in a closing living environment than a fucking cat.
In case anyone is not sure: the above argument is a blatant promotion of eugenics. It’s not cloaked, it’s not subtle, and it’s laid out right there.
Guess who’s 0% shocked that you’re religious. Have fun with your imaginary friend and all the fake rules you holy book makes you follow. Have fun picking and choosing which ones you do follow and which ones you don’t. Have fun failing to actually read what is put before you before responding in anger.
Do you mean to tell me, that you think a person who is incapable for raising a child for any reason, should be allowed to raise said child? Do you think a child should be used as a test subject to see if someone who once abused another child is “cured”? Do you not think that people with 10 children on welfare should maybe, not have more children until they can properly provide for the ones they have? Do you think it’s okay to indoctrinate young minds so that they never have a chance to gain true and real knowledge of the universe? (Wait, I know the answer to the that last one.)
Sweetheart, I am agnostic and certainly don’t believe in an imaginary God in the sky. Your whole rant is so Christian-oriented — spoiler alert: lots of Jewish people are atheists and scientists. And before you continue to have a meltdown, I wasn’t even raised to believe in any particular religion, and I don’t believe in heaven or hell so I don’t see how this precludes me from the pursuit of truth and knowledge.
It’s almost like you have zero clue what you’re talking about when you’re trying to imply I am going to indoctrinate children simply for being Jewish. (Spoiler: any children I have will be Jewish simply because they will be BORN that way because I will be their Jewish parent. They could be die hard atheists and still be Jewish.)
Anyways I’m not reacting out of anger or misunderstanding I am pointing out you have openly advocated for eugenics here. Which you did.
I took religion out of your blog description with your link to your “religious blog” or whatever the hell it says. I notice you did not respond to a single question posed other than to tell me that your an agnostic jew, which is great. I understand the concept, I promise.
Do you seriously not believe there are people in the world who should not be allowed to have children? We are overpopulating our quickly dying planet. If we want to live longer we must have fewer children. It is really a simple population math fact.
“Do you seriously not believe there are people in the world who should not be allowed to have children?”
