a friendly reminder that microaggressions against asians can also look like this:

pretending to gag at asian food

pretending to be weirded out by asian customs and cultures

excusing cultural appropriation (often through ignoring the stories of asians who have been mocked for wearing their ethnic dress while praising a white person for doing so)

not trying to learn how to pronounce an asian person's ethnic name correctly, or asking, "can i call you by something else?"

adopting an asian name for the ~aesthetic~

using the words "oriental" and "exotic" to describe asian people, particular asian women

ignoring the experiences and stories of south, southeast, *edit* west asians, and central asians

making sweeping assumptions about asian countries (including their political, historical and cultural landscape)

treating the entire asian community as a monolith and ignoring the fact that the experiences of asian nationals are remarkably different from the asian diaspora/migrant community

co-opting asian aesthetics into creative media without acknowledging their history

This is possibly the best take on Sherlock Holmes I’ve read in a long time

the thing all sherlock holmes adaptations get wrong is making the guy an irredeemable asshole who treats everyone like shit . not only is it not reflective of the original stories they miss that “nice, smart, well mannered dude who snorts coke when he needs to think” is possibly the funniest character ever devised

I’m not saying doctor who is the height of gay representation or anything but I will say that when the reboot started back in 2005 (the same year supernatural started airing) this was the first kiss the title character had

this is absolutely fantastic!

Cassie: So, have you decided what you’re dressing up as for Halloween yet?

Tim: [on his laptop] Of course. We had a whole day seminar about it last month.

The Titans:

Kon: Jesus. You Bats do everything at 150 percent.

Bart: A whole day? Why on earth would it take that long?

Tim: [looks up] Dressing up in Gotham is… tricky.

Cassie: …yeah. We’re gonna need a bit more than that.

Tim: [sits back]

Tim: 2014. Dick dresses up as Bruce Wayne. He completely disappears into the role because playing Bruce is “funny”. He accidentally gets roped into a mid-level meeting at W.E. where he agrees to throw out the 2015 budget.

Cassie: Seriously?

Tim: 2017. Jason decides to piss off Bruce by dressing up as Superman. Since most Gotham citizens haven’t really seen Superman, the headlines on November 1st are all about how Superman went on a killing spree and shot three gangleaders.

Kon: [frowning] I don’t remember that.

Tim: We killed the story before it reached any further.

Kon: oh. Uh, good.

Tim: 2018. Damian dresses up as Ra’s al Ghul. He gets kidnapped from school by the League of Assassins who thinks he’s finally embraced his heritage. Before we manage to find him, he convinces them that he is -in fact -a de-aged Ra’s. This works, somehow, because he argues that none of them has ever seen Ra’s as a child.

Bart: Really?

Tim: There are definitely parts of Ra’s organisation that would not have done well on ‘Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?’.

Tim: 2012. Bruce dresses up as a figure skater. Mr Freeze attacks the gala he’s at and we spend two weeks burying stories about Bruce Wayne -crime fighter on ice.

Gar: What?!

Tim: 2017. While the papers are taking photos of a blood-soaked Superman, Dick beats up Scarecrow while dressed as the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. Spoiler arrives to provide backup and accidentally punches the wrong scarecrow.

Bart: I-

Tim: 2016! Cass dresses up as Hillary Clinton. Her disguise is so good that the papers try to run a story about Hillary drop-kicking a Donald Trump supporter after Cass stopped a robbery where the guy wore a MAGA-hat.

Cassie: [snorts] Why didn’t you let them run that one?

Tim: 2019! I dress up as Spoiler and find out that Spoiler has been hooking up with some guy on patrol and no I will NOT talk about the way in which I found out thank you.

Gar: Hold it, you can’t just not tell-

Tim: 2013! Dick dresses up as Red Hood. Meanwhile, Jason dresses up as Nightwing. It was not coordinated. Both of their reputations take a massive hit for opposing reasons.

Tim: Also 2013! Damian dresses up as a cat and almost gets adopted by Catwoman.

Tim: 2019! Steph dresses as Batman and spends the night doing TikTok dances in public places. Bruce tried to deport her but you can’t kill a legend and you can’t deport a myth.

Tim: 2020! Bruce plans a seminar so we can all discuss and approve all costumes. Everyone is in favor. Duke is unanimously appointed as our judge since he has never caused any incidents. Bruce is unanimously disqualified from speaking at all because he has caused at least five international incidents. And seven national ones, not counting the time with the nun.

The Titans:

Kon: Did- did he dress up as nun, or…?

Tim: I don’t want to say.

i feel like at one point in time, bruce had to hold an intervention for his kids to emphasize WE HAVE CODE NAMES FOR A REASON because dick keeps calling damian “baby bat” when they’re out in the field, jason keeps calling dick “dickwad” and tim “replacement” and damian “demon” so on and so forth. 

bruce’s breaking point was when during an all-hands-on-deck alien invasion situation, conner yelled “babe! behind you!” when an alien was coming at tim. now, this wouldn’t have gotten to bruce as much if, after tim took down the alien, kon hadn’t flown over to tim, kissed him while the fighting continued to rage behind them, then shouted “you’re really hot when you kick ass!” as he flew back into battle.

so bruce held an intervention. 

the supers were in attendance as well because (1) the babe incident, (2) jon keeps calling damian “d” on the field, which leads bruce to (3) clark needs to teach his damn kid to use HIS kid’s damn codenames.

the intervention kinda backfired though. as soon as bruce started chewing them out, jason interjected with an itemized list of the times bruce had called him “jaybird” or “jaylad” in the field. dick joined in, claiming bruce had called him “chum” in the field more times than he could count, and apparently it wasn’t too unusual for bruce to call tim or damian “son” or “kiddo” during patrol

eventually, the intervention that bruce had planned turned into his kids roasting him while the supers sat back and watched

i want you to keep in mind that a shitton of the “NO DoNT VoTe ThERe’s nO DifFereNCe Bt tHE TwO PaRties” nonsense you see going around is coming from bots

who are hoping to influence the election

and who will influence it, to a degree

kind of like… kinda like that one….ya’ll remember that last big. political thing. where. we were voting in a political leader? and then we found out…there was a foreign power influencing voters. through social media? ya’ll. ya’ll remember. that.

Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn

1. You are responsible for your own media experience. 

2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.

3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.

4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.

5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.

This election, make your vote count

If you’re eligible to vote, this country needs you! Here’s a handy-dandy voter registration checklist for you to follow.

Voter registration check. Maybe you moved since the last election. Maybe you’re not sure if you registered at all. Hey, it happens. Register to vote or check your status. It only takes two minutes or so.

Request your absentee ballot. If you plan to vote by mail—which is perfectly safe despite what some say—check out the deadlines and request your absentee ballot ASAP.

Find your polling place. It’s highly encouraged to vote in person if it’s safe for you to do so. Don’t forget to look up your designated polling location and check if you can vote early if you’re eager to avoid lines.

Do you need your ID? The answer: Maybe! Check here. Each state is different.

Get familiar with your ballot. You’re voting for more than just the President. Your ballot will have the option to vote for local races and have ballot measures that directly affect your community. Make sure you’re not caught off-guard.

VOTE! Ta-da! You participated in democracy. Thank you.
