I know this is a tiny part of the wider problems born of diet culture, fatphobia, classism, and racism but like god the idea that "healthy" food must inherently taste bad has completely ruined us as a society.

booking business travel for staff at work makes me want to REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED

[ioletia]

To those that think that we gays are on equal footing with the straights, let me tell you some anecdotes.

Long read.

I worked at Lowes for a bit. I was out in the garden telling people that half the stuff the place sold wasn't even capable of growing in this zone, no less this climate- and if they bought a Bradford Pear (the tree that smells like dried cum) that they were literally going to hell. All of that isn't really important, but I do want people to know that owning, planting, or cultivating the Bradford Pear will literally send you to hell. Back to the point...

The second year I worked there a new cashier was brought on. This was super common as turnover in any retail job is incredibly high, but this one was a guy. Do you know how rare that is? I don't know why, but the entire cashier and customer service team were women. So, having a guy finally on the team was great- mostly because I thought he was cute. He was a ruddy bear of a boy with a viking-esque beard and a developing beer belly. I'd take that out to dinner. And, after a few months of casually chatting, finding out he was bi, single, and horny, I asked him out.

"Hey, you're free after work, want to go out to dinner?"

Simple. To the point. And the response? He just laughed. He didn't say no, he just laughed. And not a slight giggle, no full belly, tit shaking laugh. So, I glared at him and walked away.

The next day he asks me when I'm taking him to dinner. To which I responded, "You're just looking for free food." To which, yes, he answers. He was. And I responded that I was no longer interested- and I wasn't. I don't have space for that in my life- he showed me what kind of person he was, and I really should have known better.

Because, over the next week he continues to kind of hound me. He calls me over when he doesn't need me. He's just around me, more so than he'd ever been before. It was annoying, but it wasn't anything I couldn't chalk up to just doing his job. All the while I'm giving him the cold shoulder, I helped if he asked, but I didn't really want to make small talk with this person and I certainly wasn't seeking him out. I wasn't rude or cruel, just not taking the time to be near him by choice.

After that he sort of disappears. I think nothing of it. He finally got the message and stopped bothering me. He still worked there, I would see him around, but he seemed perfectly happy to leave me alone which suited me fine.

About a month or two later I get called into the manager's office. Guess what? He reported me for asking him out? I still don't understand the gist of what I was being reprimanded for, as the manager was like, "We don't care if you're gay or ask people out, but don't harass people." Like, okay? They said it was an "anonymous" report, but it wasn't. I told them this and they sort of threw their hands up saying they couldn't confirm that. I explained what happened, but, again, "anonymous" report, so they couldn't really act on anything. It was just really weird.

I, personally, don't think I took it to the level of harassment. I asked him once and dropped it when the interest wasn't there. I acted professional after, but no longer sought this person out to chat. But, because of this, I got targeted. Over the next few months management sort of did everything they could to get me to quit and/or fire me. They harassed me. And then the pandemic happened and I left, which is a whole other story.

Another story. I worked at a restaurant as a host for bit and one of the people I worked with was a tran-woman. We hit it off, because... Duh. The kitchen staff on the on the other hand- they didn't like her. They didn't like me. Oh, but the young girls? They would get free food whenever they asked. The kitchen staff? All older guys. Management didn't really care about this. The kitchen staff were openly hostile towards us, but management didn't care. Eventually, I left. I couldn't really take that nonsense anymore. What really broke my back was that half the servers, who were said young girls the kitchen would hit on, basically took a vacation to Florida for a brat summer. And we we're so understaffed, and I was so stressed, that I left. Shortly after I left, the trans-woman I worked with was fired. Allegedly- no, not even alleged, this didn't happen- this trans-woman hit on the dishwasher. She denies it, to which... Yeah, she had men eating out of her hand, she didn't want nor need the dishwasher. But, she was fired because the kitchen staff all circled round and said she did. And the icing on the cake? The male manager, who was married and had a kid on the way, hit her up on grindr after she was fired. Disgusting.

The point is that during my decade and a half working in retail, restaurants, and customer service I have seen literally dozens of straight people date people they work with- or otherwise ask someone out and get dismissed. Unless someone takes it too far, like stalking, or obvious harassment, or whathaveyou, no one gets talked to by management. No one gets in trouble for being straight. But if you're gay, or bi, or trans, or anything not hetero-normative, you need to leave your sexuality, your existence, at home. You need to be "normal" at work, which is either completely inoffensively LGBT+... Or straight. And even then, you can just be targeted because people don't like you.

When people say that we're equal to straight people now just because we can get married and not directly be fired for being LGBT+, that's a lie. We're not. You can be fired for being LGBT+. And that fact that I live in a liberal area that votes consistently Democrat, speaks to how systemic this lack of equality is. It doesn't matter where you live...

WHICH IS WHY! I say we should make every LGBT+. Let's get those gay bombs rolling people! We started with the frogs, now let's do the people!

You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side

do skully have pokemon?

Pumpkaboo is the obvious one, but y'know, sometimes the obvious one is the right one! (we'll say SUPER SIZE Pumpkaboo, just for fun. big pumpkin for big skeleton boy.) and another person actually also suggested Greavard, which I somehow hadn't considered, but feels so perfect that I feel like I should have. dangit.

(they can also have little Nightmare Suit costumes :D)

don't you want to be a cult leader? - danyal al ghul au

this is mostly a joke post but i thought it was funny and had to share so--

his first mistake was, obviously, inheriting his father's inability to see an injustice and stand still. -- actually, danyal's first mistake was his lair being so big. a mountainous island with a large temple in the center resembling his old home in Nanda Parbat? With sprawling foliage and rivers and streams and waterfalls galore? What was he going to do with all that space? Let it go to waste? He had plants there! Native trees of the ghost zone growing from the soil! He couldn't let it all be left unchecked!

So naturally after helping a fellow teenage assassin ghost -- who he later learns is named Akihiko, -- from Walker of all people, he sent them over to hang low at his lair until it was safe enough for them to wander around the Zone. Walker couldn't get through Danyal's astrofield if his life depended on it, and trust him -- he's tried. Danny was clearing out debris from his stupid transport vans for weeks.

Honestly it wasn't so bad, he and Aki really quickly became fast friends and Danny loves having a sparring partner close to his level again -- he hasn't had this much fun fighting since he left the League. Aki was very dedicated and levelheaded, the both of them clicked really well because of it.

Nonono, the real trouble began after Danyal met some long-passed League members and allowed them to come join his island as well. Apparently they had made a few enemies of the zone, and maybe Danyal still felt some loyalty to the League. He couldn't just let them be left to rot. Their zealotry could be overlooked so long as they kept it contained and helped him take care of his island.

And it.. snowballs from there? He meets a teen squire aptly calling himself Ambroise -- whether that was his living name or not is yet to be seen -- who died during feudal france, who is just about as dramatic and passionate as every french stereotype makes them out to be. He calls Danyal "my moon and great muse" -- which is both flattering and little uncomfortable, but Danyal's grown up in the League as the Grandson of the Demon Head, he is used to mild worship. he passes it off as nothing more, nothing less. -- and while his energy is overwhelming on the worst of days, he helps Danny draw out of his shell more in ways that Sam and Tucker still struggle with.

Him and Aki butt heads a lot, but the two seem to hold the other in at least some positive regard, so Danny doesn't worry too much about them fighting while he's gone. It only becomes a mild issue when Aki also begins calling Danny "my moon". It's a little sweet, so Danyal brushes it off.

Then he takes in a troupe of ghosts some time after he defeats Pariah Dark and they begin calling him "great one" just as the yetis do in the far frozen. This is where he meets the twins -- a pair of sibling ghosts who call themselves Trixie and Missy (short for Trick and Mislead) -- who aren't quite as passionate as Ambroise but more energetic than Aki. Eventually they also start calling Danyal "my moon" and attach themselves to his hip, even within the living. They like to hide in his shadow and cause trouble for the rest of the students. He makes sure they don't hurt anyone.

He's pretty sure Aki is jealous, same with Ambroise, but he can't be too certain other than the fact that they become much more lingering (re: clingy) whenever he visits the island.. Something he's trying to do much more often these days due to the increasing amount of people living there now. Since when did he become so popular?

Then there's Pēnelópeia from the Greater Athens, who ran away from home and joined his Island after he ran into her while she was being chased by Skulker -- and he's pretty sure the reason was because of her chimeric appearance. Her strange eyes and mismatched wings and lion's tail and talons. She assimilates into his friend group very easily, she gets along well with Ambroise and Trixie and Danny usually finds the three of them climbing the trees to pluck the most fruit from the top. They can fly and he knows it, but they prefer to climb.

Then finally there's silent poet Akkara who comes from ancient mesopotamia, who gets along most with Aki -- which is no surprise there considering their similar personality dispositions. he watches Aki and Danyal fight each other and leaves comments on this or that that he notices. He writes Danyal poems on clay tablets and leaves them by his room.

They're one big mismatched group of outcasts, and Danny's got the other ghosts on his island to tend to, because they're living on his island and he wants to be hospitable even if he struggles with that. But he spends the most of his time with them.

Sam and Tucker are making fun of him. Tucker jokingly tells him 'careful Danny, at this rate you're gonna start a cult'. Danny really wishes he had taken that joke more seriously.

He just. keeps. collecting people. Wayward souls lost in the zone, looking for shelter or refuge from something or other -- whether that be another hostile ghost, or a past afterlife, or just a purpose. Danyal finds them, he takes them in, offers them a place on his island until they are ready to leave. Many seldom do. He's not complaining -- he has the space, and it feels like it's only ever growing.

His close friends, his "inner circle" as he's heard the others call them, keep insistently calling him "my moon". He starts calling them his stars, because then it only feels fair. They're his stars, this is his constellation. It becomes a thing; little star halos begin forming behind their heads, picking them out from the rest. He loves them so much, it's hard to place. Sam and Tucker are also his stars, but they reside in the living realm, they're his tie to Life. Meanwhile, his friends here know what it's like to be dead, and sometimes its nice to relate.

Those living on his island keep calling him "Great One" and he's beginning to notice zealotry in their care for his island. He really, deeply appreciates it. His close friends gain nicknames -- as his stars, it's only natural for him to pick them out from the cluster in the skies. Akihiko, his Sirius and bright star. Trix and Missy, Castor and Pollux, the twins and troublemakers. Ambroise, his zealous Antares and close friend. Penelopeia, chimeric and loyal Vega. And Akkara, his Arcturus and strength.

It's ridiculous how long it takes for him to notice; he is, of course, a deadly trained assassin. He is meant to be observant -- and normally he is! But somehow this becomes a blind spot. One that becomes too big to be dealt with by the time he realizes it.

He should've noticed when Aki, his Sirius, stood beside him one day while Danyal looked over his island and saw the sprawling spirits carrying on about their afterlife and bowing to him as they saw him, and said: "I looked down into the depths when I met you; I couldn't measure it." They aren't one for flowing prose, it took him so off guard he was silent for over a minute before he finally spoke.

Danyal should've recognized devotion for what it is, and yet he didn't. He should've recognized it when Antares began spouting praises about him, crowing about his radiance and resplendence to the heavens. He just brushed it off as Ambroise being Ambroise. He should've recognized it when Trix and Missy nearly broke Dash's leg after he knocked Danyal's books out of his hands, he excused it as them being protective. Of them coming from times where such violence may have been customary -- after all, that's what he used to be like. What he was still like, sometimes, when his emotions nearly got the better of him.

He should've noticed it when the people living on his island followed his word like gospel, looked at him like he hung the stars in the sky. When his friends gifted him a shawl with the moon phases delicately embroidered into it, with silver, shimmering thread and moving stars lovingly stitched into it. Their constellations seen clear as day in the dark fabric. When he found small shrines dedicated to him -- but they lacked any image of him beyond stones carved to look like moons, so he ignored it. When the religious imagery began popping up.

He really, really should've noticed it when a bunch of cultists accidentally summoned Antares, and Antares had turned to him when he arrived and called them heretics. But he was so centered on the fact that they had kidnapped one of his stars, that he hadn't paid much attention to what Ambroise had said.

Sages say that faith is blind, they should also say faith in you is even blinder.

It really only hits him one afternoon while he's sitting in Sam's room studying with Tucker, Missy and Trixie lounging at his feet, Aki sat on his right, Penelopeia braiding his hair, Ambroise draped against him, and Akkara lurking over him. Its one of the rare few times they're all in one room together.

It hits him like a bolt of lightning. He looks up from his textbook. "Oh Ancients," he says in no amounting shock. Everyone looks up to him.

"I've become my grandfather."

i see this jason todd who actually looks his very young age (instead of the 30yr old man that comics like to portray)

and feel my heart breaking just imagining bruce beating him up, almost killing him, mind-breaking him, and just overall being a total piece of shit father towards him.

a huge chunk of the reason why people don't view bruce's actions towards jason as abusive or wrong is because jason doesn't look his age. he's drawn to be this 35yr old father of three who looks even older than dick (and way too on par with bruce) that people see their fights as one between batman and any of his regular rogues. when they fight, it just looks like batman is fighting a man his age and not an actual young person. it doesn't look like batman is fighting his son who's barely even drinking age (and who def wasn't drinking age in utrh). their fights are portrayed in a way that eliminates the very real power struggle between them.

this applies to jason's entire character as well. a lot of people don't sympathize with how he died or his actions as robin or his fights with the other bats because he doesn't look his age. he always looks older and scarier than everyone else. tim has many sympathizers from the titans tower incident because jason just looked like a grown man fighting a 12yr old (even tho i disagree, tim was built and like 17 lmfao).

anyways, i just wish comics would actually draw jason to look his age, which literally ranges from 19 to early twenties. he's young- so young, and it's so annoying to see him drawn and written as someone older than even bruce.
