Im gonna be so real people who pounce on any message of hope or anyone who speculates about anything other than the absolute worst-case, "we are all doomed, doomed you hear!" scenario while all this is going down and the fed gov is totally upended are pissing me tf off!!

I get it these are powerful emotions its an incredibly difficult and politically dangerous time right now but we're also barely 3 weeks in folks. The admin has ALREADY backed off two hugely unpopular initiatives and is currently testing the checks and balances.

Like WHY is it so important to you that i affirm to you that we're all definitely going to die in gitmo concentration camps within the year. WHY is it so necessary for you to naysay even entertaining the thought of midterms. WHAT do you want me to say?

"The experiment is over" "we lost our democracy" "there won't be any more elections so why bother thinking about midterms" "whats the point of these federal judges the admin is just gonna ignore them" "fascism is already here"

Like ok??? And???? Why fold so easily? Why even give them the satisfaction of admitting defeat in this, the opening salvo? There is so much left to be saved, there are so many excesses that CAN be stopped with effort and focus.

I feel burnout and defeated like 10 times a day since the inauguration but THIS is the test. There will ALWAYS be an opportunity to take up truth and responsibility and justice, every second of every day, for the next four years. I just can't with anyone who thinks that now, after everything, is the time to check out even more and totally abdicate power

"i don't feel connected to my culture"

You spend all of your time online speaking in english, only reading books in english and watching tv shows in english. You don't go to museums or visit historical buildings in your town, you don't question people older about their lives about how they used to live. You dislike the folk clothing of your people because you do not educate yourself about it. You find tradition "cringy" or gross.

At some point you have to realize that no one will teach you about your culture if you do not seek that knowledge out.

A riko-less evermore is so daunting to think about. like riko was eighteen going on nineteen at some point they all had to acknowledge that he was meant to leave the nest and move on to a professional team but what would that do to evermore? who could tetsuji trust to keep the future team of ravens in line and frightened and ongoing as his nephew riko had? evermore was built around riko, he’s the rotten heart of it all, what would tetsuji do without him?

Sooo this happened to me

Story underneath if you want to know more context…or read me rant about it I guess

Alright, so my family was celebrating a birthday and during dinner we start chatting like always, when my dad asks if we’ve noticed anything about groceries. That’s when my older siblings start talking about how expensive everything is and my mom is confused cause she didn’t notice eggs were that expensive. I had to tell her that she was buying eggs under my employee discount so it probably just looked normal to her. Anyway, my sister who is a Trump loving person starts talking about how Trump did this and that he probably doesn’t even know how much eggs cost cause he hasn’t shopped for himself since the maybe the 70’s. They then all start smacking down on how the rich control everything but are completely blind to the average persons lives and money. And I’m sitting there like “YES FINALLY!!! THEY KNOW!!! FINALLY!!!!!” I’m so excited that they finally see what’s happening.

Then my lil bro says “You know who controls the rich people right?”

My heart drops cause I already know what he’s gonna say. I even tried to stop it by saying “the richer obviously” and he shakes his head. Without missing a beat he says “the Jews” and I’m just hoping the rest of my family says no or goes against it. Unfortunately they do not.

The start talking about how the Jews control everything and the most random shit I’ve ever heard. I can only remember two things they said but there was more. One was how the Star of David is satanic which wtf?!?!? Like literally no???? If I remember correctly it was related to King David, but idk the whole history of it. Either way it doesn’t matter cause it’s not satanic. Then my lil bro says that Jews are banned from 93 countries and like I looked it up and didn’t see anything about 93 countries banning Jews. I saw the history of Jews being banished from countries only to be let back into said countries over a course of centuries but I’m pretty sure that being that old of a religion, that’s gonna happen cause people need a scapegoat. Hell most religions probably have been banned from countries for similar reasons. Either way, the way he worded it was that they were still banned from these places which as far as I can tell and researched, just isn’t true.

But after my lil bro and sis started their rant, which intrigued my mom, I just sat there in disbelief cause wtf. I was literally so stunned that I couldn’t speak. The only thing running through my mind was “shit, I’m at a table with a couple of fucking Nazis” The only thing that made me kinda hopeful was that my dad and older brother weren’t saying anything and just kept quiet (still not amazing but I was too stunned to speak so I was hoping they were too and that why they weren’t talking) so maybe they thought it was as insane as I do but idk.

I already knew my lil bro hated Jews (This bitch hates all other religions that aren’t “True Catholics” so it’s not a surprise to me) but wtf. He can’t even admit that Jews were at least half right (old testament) cause of some bullshit excuse of “well they don’t believe in jesus so they’re fully wrong” like wtf?!? He even believes that Muslims, other Christians, and Jews don’t pray to the same God…when they literally do!!!! It’s all the same God between these religions and the difference is literally on how they view Jesus. Do they believe Jesus was the son of god? Christian! Do they believe he was a messenger who was given info from god? Muslim! Do they think Jesus was not the son of god and just another guy? Jew! Like fuck man it’s not that hard.

I could rant forever about my lil bro and his views and how wild they are but maybe I can do that later on. Either way wtf.

Favorite thing about Clark Kent, or alternatively, favorite Superman comic?

Favorite thing about Clark Kent can really be summed up with this comic page:

Like I know the joke is that People like Superman because he's nice but like. That so is the appeal to me is that Clark Kent possesses an unwavering, unflinching kindness and care for everyone. He believes, fundamentally, in the ability for people to grow, and change, and be better, even we he thinks an individual currently sucks ass. In his ideal world, people like Lex Luthor aren't taken down. They aren't defeated, they aren't killed, they're striving to be more. To give up the constant struggle for wealth and power in favor for struggling to help. To use their status and their riches and change the system they so long benefited from into something that makes it so everyone can live.

And the thing is, Clark Kent does this from such a fundamentally human place. He has love and kindness and is proud of you, not from the perspective of a god, but from the perspective of a guy who listened to his parents on how to be good. AND he's flawed! He can be bitchy and frustrated and petty and angry just like anyone AND he still guided by a fundamental principle of kindness. Not because he's immune to bad actions, not because of his powers, not because he can sit on a throne above the little people, but because he loves us, he loves people, he loves his friends and his family and strangers on the street and his enemies, even if they don't love him back.

(Side tangent: this is why i can't stand a cynical, bitter, borderline villain Superman. OR a boring personalityless Superman. Both of them miss the point of his character, that his humanity and complexity and moments of weakness and goodness are not all separate, disparate characteristics, but in fact all one in the same. [double side tangent: i should get to fight zack snyder in a denny's parking lot.)

I also like that he's funney sometimes.

Favorite Superman Comics:

Hmm. Well I'm far from super well versed in Superman comics, I know him overall from other media better, BUT I can recommend:

Superman: Birthright by Mark Waid

Superman VS The Klan by Gene Luen Yang

Superman: For All Seasons by Jeph Loeb

and especially people that want to get more to the core of the character without being bogged down with a shit ton of lore

Superman: Red & Blue by various authors.

(I've also been enjoying the Superman/Batman series by Mark Waid. Dude knows what I want in a comic lol)

[cryptvokeeper]

hot take that’s a few weeks old by now but Hank Henshaw is absolutely being cancelled on metropolis Twitter after Most Eligible Superman. The man stormed out of a charity event for sick children because he simply Could Not Stop being space-racist.

fuckin spaceman spiff over there should be getting roasted alive in the town square for this and Superman needs a better pr team because his current one just letting that go with some vaguely sad faces is the reason we can’t have nice things.

In case you don't already know, this is an openly racist nazi-regime-inspired tweet from the US White House Deputy Chief of Staff outright admitting what MAGA republicans have been saying quietly this entire time, that the Trump administration's goal is to eliminate:

DEI: diversity metric audits and policies designed to promote equal opportunities for all regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, age, disability, etc that fall in line with anti-discrimination laws

rights for transgender people as a whole, the growing acceptance by society including removing them from their proper detention centers (e.g. putting trans women in men's prisons), their access to hormones and gender-reaffirming surgeries

laws in place that keep companies from discriminating against black/brown people in the job hiring process (repeated DEI twice basically)

what MAGA refers to as "woke culture courses" which is really just education on America's corruption because they want to keep everyone here as stupid as MAGA already are, with wool pulled over our eyes so we continue to see America in its fascist state as something to be patriotic about, so they can police your thoughts, your culture, your religion, your free speech, how you live in general, to rob you blind of your freedoms and everything you have ever worked for including your healthcare and retirement!

UK Visa Refusals: General Grounds Explained

The United Kingdom’s visa application process is a complex and often daunting endeavor. One crucial aspect applicants need to understand is the potential grounds for refusal, especially when it comes to deception. The ramifications of presenting false information, documents, or misrepresentations can be severe, including automatic refusal of the current application and, in cases related to entry…

white ass rat is still a rat, and I'm not fond of the rats who steal from my garden and tell me I can't allow my own family in it. if you hate immigrants so much, get back on the damn ship you came in on

[minglana]

another thing i see (have seen irl, and see ppl on tiktok do) is that these immigrants from the US, if they go to spanish class (which is great, most of the time.) they will only socialize w other english-speaking immigrants. and thats gonna become their circle.

i understand sticking to a social circle where ppl have similar shared experiences (ive had to do that too) but they will somehow ONLY socialize w these ppl, and will seldom talk to locals (i also understand that you can be shy when learning a new language. but also the spanish speakers will usually try to speak in english, if theyre confident enough, if not... self-hate here it comes!!) other than like.... shop and service workers. and they wont realize that so many things are catered towards them, despite them thinking theyre ✨immersing themselves in the culture✨

My mom played the news report about that plane crash in D.C. on her Alexa, and it was Fox News.

The broadcast kept going past the crash.

Here are some highlights:

They're sending Mexicans to Guantanamo. (The Act states that the government will deport and prison any "illegals" that have committed a crime and send them to Guantanamo)

They're going to crack down on people giving transgender surgeries to children. (The only children that are being forcefully transed are Intersex babies... Where's THEIR protection? Fuck off)

RFK is going to abolish vaccines. (Not the exact quote, but I became preoccupied with punching a wall at that point)

In the year of our lord, 2025, when infinite information is at our fingertips, it's sickening how people make the choice to be so ignorant.
