“Jason Todd is the violent robin” “Dick Grayson is the violent robin” discourse is insane. Every batkid is willingly out on the streets at 2am beating the shit out of people at age thirteen. They’re ALL the violent robin.

#Batman #batfam #I know it’s an important foundation of Batman stories but you can’t fuckin convince me there is one individual Robin Of Violence #they’re all ok with punching grown adults into the ground and kicking them while they’re down don’t sugarcoat it #they’re all a fun unhinged violent child and that’s ok!! that’s why we love them!!

"You grew up with an uncertainty in mind and morals. I hoped initiating physical intimacy with you would give me the influence to correct your shortcomings. That failed. I apologise to you for what you have become." - Lady Demerzel, Foundation: 'Long Ago, Not Far Away'

"I could have got you there. But no. No." - Gerri Kellman, Succession: 'Tailgate Party'

Someone pissed me off a couple of days ago

So! Below are several links to programs and foundations that promote adult literacy! Hundreds of millions of adults world wide were failed by their education system and now must fend for themselves while trying to read contracts and hospital bills and infographics from the CDC. But they don't have to be alone, and it is never too late to learn!

ProLiteracy: A network of educators, researchers, and advocates which provides research reports, learning materials, and other support to adult education programs. They assist with connecting volunteers to local programs and provide guidance and support to community leaders trying to use their programs' findings to advocate for social and political change.

Adult Literacy League: An adult education program in Central Florida, which aims to provide students with one on one attention to foster growth and confidence. It also offers English Second Language courses and job skills training, and each new student receives a comprehensive assessment to determine the best plan for them.

Saint Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center's Foundational Skills Program: A 100% free adult education program aimed at adults reading below a fifth grade level. It operates year round and is either in person or remote, and they now have a GED testing center that is open to students and the public alike.

Washtenaw Literacy: A free network of trained tutors for adults in Washtenaw County, Michigan.

Adult Learning Program (Las Vegas/Clark County): Free education classes to those lacking a high school diploma, those seeking to learn ESL, and adults who read below an eighth grade level. Also assists in students' search for gainful employment. Nevada got so fucked by COVID and the education/literacy numbers in the South West are grim. Please help these guys.

Hawaii Literacy: In addition to helping adult residents of Hawaii Island learn to read and write AND bridging the education gap in Hawaii's underserved children, they offer computer literacy classes, ESL classes, and a bookmobile. 1 in 6 Hawaiian adults struggle to read and write.

#Not Stories #mutual aid #adult literacy #'uuhhhggg its soooo disappointing when i meet a girl who's like 'yeah omg i luv 2 read'#'and then she only reads booktok trash and grocery store thrillers and manga'#'like come on thats such a turn off :/'#'like aren't you bored??? what about reading The Foundation and War & Peace and Grapes of Wrath where's THAT girl haha'#nobody gives a shit what sort of high school reading list gets your dick stiff! NOBODY!#I'm too busy dealing with the fact that most public education systems hate students of color and anyone with a learning disability #from the very bottom of my very dyslexic heart go fuck yourself #'this chick only read 8 books in twelve months lmfao thats so pathetic'#'i read eight books a MONTH some people really give up after high school'#do you think my great grandfather or his father got to fucking finish high school????#or were they busy getting fucking shot at in germany in two different fucking wars????#thank every god you wanna name that my lunatic mother stopped abusing me long enough to put me through FIVE YEARS OF TUTORING #to get ME literate because that's what it fucking took #I watched more than one kid from my underserved semi rural district drop out at 17 or 16 or 15 #because their parents needed a third paycheck or they were gonna lose the goddamn house #10% of my majority black school district graduated FUNCTIONALLY ILLITERATE and not an ounce of it was those kids' fault #our racist ass school district failed them and the district did NOT protect my white ass when I was diagnosed dyslexic #the adult literacy crisis is not about you getting a girlfriend who can discuss Ayn Rand with you #the adult literacy crisis is about us being exploited and neglected and made easier to control and manipulate #reading is FUCKING HARD and learning to read after the age of six is SO MUCH HARDER #so from the VERY very bottom of my VERY very dyslexic heart #FUCK. YOU.

rereading hoot by carl hiaasen because it was a favorite of mine growing up and it’s making me remember how this book had me aspiring to become an eco-terrorist at the ripe old age of 8 years old

#i’m also kind of surprised that it’s labeled a children’s book instead of YA or at least middle reader #like i am genuinely enjoying reading this as an adult #i reread a couple goosebumps books somewhat recently and it was fun but it was like yeah. these books are for kids #vs hoot — it’s like yeah this is obviously for younger readers but the plot characters & humor all hold up by adult standards also #i’m actually kind of shocked because not all the things i liked as a kid hold up to the nostalgia factor of it all #but reading this is kind of like. hmmmm this may have been even more foundational to my psyche than i remembered lol #hoot

I’m done being friendly here’s an aggressive reminder that Jess and Lane should’ve become besties and stayed besties throughout the seasons

#you cannot tell me they wouldn’t have bonded HARD over more than music and Rory #which is already a strong foundation on its own btw #the mommy issues??#the not knowing what to do with their adult lives??#the loving of arts that they didn’t know could love them back???#where are my Jess and Lane bestie adventures ASP where ARE THEY #gilmore girls #jess mariano #lane kim #lane x jess #but platonic #audio junkies #the potato rants in the tags

CW for potential oc x canon

Finally made a ref sheet for my SCP OC :3

Actually I was going to post this along with her full bio but I realized that it would take me quite a while to write it so I decided to post what I have so far - some very brief info

#my art #scp #scp foundation #scp oc #ref sheet #reference #oc #original character #oc/canon #oc x canon #odds #(also fyi she first met him when she was around 25-30 yo and he was 38 so for adults the age gap isn't that big imo)#(im actually very anxious to post this because im afraid of being judged for literally everything)

went thru some old files today and came to the realization that i'd probably be doing better in my college math classes if i hadn't spent my high school math classes drawing vent art on the margins of my notebook papers

#text #i get why i was though and i was well in my right #just very annoying as an adult to have lost a lot of basic foundational skills #bc i didnt retain them bc i was busy drawing bad vent art

Labru (shrug) I just might like it

#After the newest supplemental comic #I just really like the idea of them being great friends and kind of settling into something more #later on. I just have a bunch of visuals of them having fun and dancing (which is teamwork)#Farcille is built on a foundation of 10+ years of friendship so it's always felt much more potent to me #but Kabru and Laios are likely eachother's firsts in many ways including completely mutual friendship #And Kabru's potential for development post-canon as he discovers himself FOR himself #I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE SO FUN and not the sordid affair most people think it'd be #with Kabru hating on Laios 24/7...#I mean Kabru also has Rinsha and that relationship is built off of many years and shared trauma and household #So I mean like a first in adult friendships. Since that's markedly different in way

using intersectionality to discredit feminism and downplay its reach and essentially weaponizing it when it was coined to describe black women's experience of racism and sexism is nasty work...

#and like i say: brf slt #i see people do it ALL the time. all the time all the time. on the internet. tumblr posts that do it get 40k notes in two days because #everyone here is actually allergic to feminism #like it doesn't mean what you're saying it means...when people are like um you actually can't say men oppress women with no caveat because #men of color disabled men poor men exist...OKAY? btw why is your theoretical woman white rich and able-bodied while the men you're #thinking of are oppressed...on other axes of oppression...like it's so stupid i'm sorry what serious person is saying that women #can't be racist/homophobic/ableist. just that at the end of the day these men still benefit from being men and not women...#and women of color poor women disabled women are also like out there lmao #like oppressions don't cancel each other out😭 this line of thought is so 2010s tumblr how privileged are you test #we're adults!!!!!#it's intellectual dishonesty and it shows that these people simply don't view misogyny as an actual form of oppression. which means they're #enemies of women whether the women are privileged or not lmao #also every woman is white and privileged when i argue about feminism and every man is oppressed (in ways that have nothing to do with #patriarchy) is like that post about people approaching fictional women like there can't be anything more to them than what we see on screen #when they can come up with rich backstories for men with two seconds of screentime. it reminds me of that #but even if the only woman you're thinking of is rich straight white she's still a victim of misogyny and sexism lmao that doesn't mean she #can't do some damage and be awful to other minorities but like she's literally still a woman. like when barack obama was 'the leader of #the free world' and bombing x countries did that stop people from being racist to him. if it had been a white woman people would have been #misogynistic. if it had been a black woman she would have been a victim of misogynoir. it's very simple. i need someone to explain how a #man being a victim of racism or anything else invalidates the foundations of feminism. like what does that have to do with feminism #people being racist/prejudiced in other ways to men isn't a feminist problem which doesn't mean feminists can't care about it obviously #but like it's an anti-racism issue it has nothing to do with feminism? i've said all of this before #feminism is for half of the world's population...making it more inclusive and intersectional means fighting for women who face other #oppressions better like of course all oppressions=worth fighting against but feminism being intersectional doesn't mean it has to include #men? like. i seriously don't get it. and not everything a feminist does/talks about/fights for has to be a feminist cause like do you know #what i mean lmao? also diluting feminism and being like um aren't you supposed to care about everyone men suffer too is actually like #og antifeminism it's very funny to see people try to do it but ~progressively~#you are a 1970s antifeminist

Funny little Reverse 1999 headcanon that my friend made(they are really cool and yes, I made them play and suffer with me, credit to them: @s0meoneunimportant )

Vertin when she first got out made an unholy concoction of coffee, tea,energy drinks,sugary soda and five hour energy. She had to be put under anesthesia to sleep. Let's just say that Sonetto and the rest of the timekeeper team was righteously concerned and heavily worried for her and have banned her from caffeine and working on late nights.

#reverse 1999 #reverse1999 hc #reverse 1999 vertin #shitpost #This can be used for canon or any au #Team timekeeper/suitcase is found family fr #add madam z and tooth fairy for extra falir #the two responsible adults of the foundation

omg no one told me that the backstory of Nimona is *actually* the lie that Aang told in the worst ATLA episode

#'what if the foundational myth of your people was a children's game that got out of hand?'#(tbf it's entirely on the adult humans that things got out of hand in the Nimona movie)#nimona #atla #and if people want to argue whether The Great Divide is the worst atla episode:#I do think it's badness is overhyped and there's a number of clunkers in s1 #but it's still my least favorite personally #well maybe tied with The Fortuneteller #my own liveblogging

#gonna go on a parasocial rant for a man i barely care about bc thats where i am #but honestly its actually a little heartbreaking #when you think about the fact that rob #who we know struggled in school and with behavioural issues #was a neurodivergent kid who had no idea what that even was #no resources or labels to help him #is now an adult figuring this all out #and seeing #holy shit this sports team i grew up with and love knows about this too #and theyre doing all of this #like do you realise he was a kid in the 80s with no knowledge of any of this #used sports as an outlet and to bond with his dad #probably imagining if this foundation had existed when he was a kid what that could have done for him #and i now have the money and ability to support this all #so hes donating and posting to raise awareness and encourage support #and he's spending time and money with his soccer team in wales to do this same thing #so neurodivergent kids who love sports are growing up with what he didnt have #and their parents are able to recognise and understand what his couldn't (no fault of their own)#im sorry but youre a very blindly heartless person to think that doesnt matter because rob is NOW rich #why are we acting like hes elon fucking musk #he came from nothing you ALL KNOW HOW SUNNY STARTED!?#yes hes stupid spending his money on nfts and the metaverse #can you not see hes fucking growing... and learning. like. probably through his own kids....#i dont even care if you dont care #i dont think it matters at all but adamantly shitting on him to his (social media) face is so beyond loser behaviour #holy fucking christ most of twitter now has clearly been educated in the tiktok school of anti capitalism #that they think the moment someone breaks 1mm they lose their history and soul #rob is a centrist he posts copganda he owns a gun and is proud of it but youre biggest issue with him is he won at capitalism?#via doing something not only he loves but YOU love? and have a whole account dedicated to??????#everyone in his quotes is britta perry from community
