officially decided that anyone who tries to divide the lgbt community is a fed. i dont care if you're not actually a fed, if you're causing infighting in a minority community then you're a fed who just isnt getting paid to be one. either apply for a job at the CIA or shut the fuck up
some people understood this post. some people revealed themselves to be feds
I met this girl called Derpina and all she did was reference outdated memes
Laios devouring a mandrake
Based on Francisco Goya painting ofc
Orcanize and find your pod.
I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
Thanks to whoever tried, but I knew they'd never allow it.
Let's do it the old fashioned way. Spread it far and wide.

god I could be so wealthy if I had no ethics. that's so fucking frustrating. I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I'm not grifting vulnerable idiots on TikTok. I feel like I have the ability to very easily scam people. I could make a killing with AI. but god. I have morals and ethics and so I get to be poor as shit. I hate this fucking world
I could have made a killing as a psychic, but noooo I have to feel bad about lying to people ugh
I think abt this all the time because the thing is, evil rich people truly believe that they’re geniuses who have discovered a way to make money that the rest of us dummies haven’t…but the truth is that they are just willing to do evil shit that everyone else would prefer to not to because we have standards
When I attended my graduate school job fair, Raytheon (unprompted, hearing me say my degree at the next table) offered me $230,000/yr to come work for them. That was their opening offer after hearing nothing more than my degree, in a city with a very low cost of living. The only catch was that the job was working on vision systems for missiles. (i.e. those 'targeted' missiles which kill a ton of civilians as collateral or intentional damage)
I ended up taking an $85,000/yr job as an optical research scientist at Corning instead.
It is an odd feeling, having a price put on your soul. I'd be a millionaire with a house by my mid-30s if I'd accepted that. And the offer is still open, in fact I'd have an even more generous one waiting for me with the skills I have now.
In all seriousness, if you have the right skillset, you can actually sell your soul. This very week. You will live in comfort and moderate luxury for all your days. Two of my family members did that work decades ago, until they couldn't stomach it any longer, and it set up the rest of their lives.
But I promise you, it's not worth it. It's been almost 50 years for one of them and it still haunts him. He says the worst part was the way they (him included) talked about human lives as things. Numbers on a spreadsheet, sterile corporate jargon in meetings. A lifetime later and you can still see it in his eyes when he talks about it.
You can't take it back, treating humans like things.
Is this your favorite? The most nepo of babies? Whatever! You can interpret this poll however you'd like - I just wanted to know how many old trek characters had parents attached to Starfleet and then didn't know what to do with the info I'd amassed. *Note: I know Kirk in later iterations has a Starfleet dad but that's not said in TOS so it's not real for the purposes of this poll
Wesley gave up his nepo baby status to go be a Time Lord Traveler instead, whereas Janeway ends up first a captain and then later an admiral, making her much more of a proper nepo baby. Still, at least she was competent, if a bit lacking in ethics (Tuvix), which is why I voted for Tom instead, but it was close, with Archer in third.
Some of you were worried about the cookies, but due to the large furry population in her world, all chocolate is made to be pet-safe :3
1$ flea market score. Tiny glass 1960s perfume bottles. I love them.
Can you swap their heads ?
omg you can
Their meeting was foretold in the ancient texts
just saw someone ask whether batman or spiderman would win in a fight, as if batman would see a brightly-colored sassy acrobat and not immediately adopt him
now, in fairness, peter parker has a history of seeing someone else in a costume and immediately throwing hands only to realize three pages later that there was literally no reason to do that, but it’s not like misplaced aggression is disqualifying when it comes to suddenly acquiring a batdad
Bruce, upon realizing that he’s getting punched repeatedly by a flippy and talkative spider-child with 0 brain cells and a strong moral compass, immediately begins filling out mental adoption papers
Peter, catching the image of an adult dressed vaguely like an animal and standing in the shadows out of the corner of his eye, immediately backflips into a roundhouse kick while shouting “batter up!”
Batman, internally: Unfortunately I love it.
Bruce: This one has super strength and can literally dodge bullets. Clark: Bruce, put him back where he came from. Peter: Please give me a dollar. I am very poor.
Clark: I gave him a dollar.
Peter: He gave me a dollar.
Clark: I thought he’d go away if I gave him a dollar.
Bruce: Well of course he’s not gonna go away. If you gave him a dollar he’s gonna assume you have more.
A week after Supes convinces Batman to give up on adopting Peter:
"Hey Clark, you're good with names, who's Wayne's plus one? I've never seen him with anyone but a 20-something supermodel before and this will be a great scoop for the celebrity page!"
Clark looks over and sees Bruce with his arm around one May Parker. "Excuse me, I think I need to go have a chat with Mr. Wayne."
"Sure, just let me know her name if you catch it!"
