My family have got messed up priorities

My mother had messed up priorities when I was a kid. She did not give an iota of fucks if I was watching some of the most violent movies like The Patriot, Pearl Harbor or Saving Private Ryan or the most graphic 1st Person Shooter video games like Call of Duty and Medal of Honor.

but GOD FORBID THERE BE SOME TITTIES IN THERE!!!

Cussing? As long as I didn't utter the same words, she didn't care. Violence and bloodshed? Eh, "you watch mostly history anyway".

An ounce of cleavage? THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST ASS WHOOPING MA AWAKENS!

Mind you, I was 8 when Pearl Harbor came out and I saw Titanic on VHS that same year (i'm dating myself with that reference XD) Ma didn't care that I watched a movie where 1,750 people froze to death in the Atlantic Ocean but flipped her shit when Kate Winslet got topless. tho as a lifetime sketch artist I did draw the drawing scene so i didn't do myself any favors. Ma set the drawing on fire in the backyard. That's how religious she is. (note I didn't say was...)

She was fine with Sean William Scott cussing his mouth off on the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard but covered my 12 year old eyes up when the college dorm scene involved a topless girl. Ma... it's boobs... By then, I'd seen em before on the computer her parents got me. And trust me, I'm thankful to have been raised by my mother than my grandmother. I love my grandma but OH MY GOD, grandma is stricter than my mother. My mother actually let me watch the Harry Potter movies because she checked it out and deduced since it was just fiction, it was okay. She said it was no different than me watching Star Wars which has supernatural powers AND actual witchcraft (Nightsister witches and even Sith magic). Grandma never yelled at me or my mother, thanks to grandpa's influence, but when she saw the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book (i was... i wanna say 14?) she gave my mom the riot act without even raising her voice. Grandma never smokes or drinks. Never had a sip in her life, not even at her wedding. She's sweet but omg is she stricter than mom.

Mom thinks any actor who plays a demon or devil is not someone I should met. I met Mark Pellegrino and Mark Sheppard (Lucifer and Crowley, respectively in Supernatural) at some Cons last year and mom told me I should "avoid people who associate with Satan." My dad, still married to her, just rolls her eyes to this. If you're wondering about my father, he's... agnostic at most. I saw him watching a documentary about the Bible, he said "this might have happened". I asked dad if he believed in God. He shrugged and went "I don't know, son. I've seen things I can't explain but it's not worth giving a shit about honestly." So my dad is a stereotypical right-wing baby boomer, but not a religious nut.

Like my dad is a Confederate flag waving racist, but he never intervened when he would see me date a Latina or black girl. He just gave a look that told me he didn't approve.

"Wyll is boring" he is the personification of daddy issues. he hides away at a beach TWICE and leaving the tav to go find him because he's not used to having people around who care abt him. he's been running around the sword coast for seven years just killing things and saving people because he got EXILED and chose to prove himself to his father and just help others. he spends his time training kids how to defend themselves. you find out his dad is the ARCHDUKE of Baldur's Gate. he almost drowned once trying to find mermaids. he has a literal devil haunting him that watches his every move. He managed to stop an entire cult of Tiamat AT AGE 17!!!!!!! he loves clowns.

Wyll isn't boring, ppl just haven't taken the time to explore his story and it SHOWS

Would you mind elaborating on what you mean by having to edit Stephs relationship with the bats in the fic?

before i read more about her character i assumed she had a more sibling relationship to the Bats and her mentorship with Bruce was different/more parental. i even had one of them refer to her as a sister or vice versa? but i know better now and went back and changed it. though she does comment that dick is like a brother to her i see it more as being good friends with your friend's/ex's/new partner's sibling, if that makes sense. i made a post a while back to clear up the miscommunication with the change but it has been a while

So do you guys actually think that Jason's entire story, relationship to the others, and philosophy amounts to him being a rebellious teen who wants his dad's attention? Like are you 100% serious? I thought you were joking about that but too many of you are saying it with your whole chest.

And what the fuck is this "Bruce antagonizing Jason is fanon!" Shit I've been seeing? You guys are aware that a parent can love their kid and still be a shit parent right? I know you guys don't want to fathom the thought that maybe your blorbo might also occasionally have to face responsibility for consistently endangering children but let's not start being delusional now.

Bruce does love his kids, that doesn't mean that he hasn't hurt them. And I'd also argue that for the most part he feels in the right for it, and he's said multiple times that he believes it's for their own good, so you can't even argue that he's sorry about it. It's okay for you guys to admit that your PERSONAL INTERPRETATION of the character wouldn't do that but don't sit here and pretend that it's not a facet of the source.

A new civics training program for public school teachers in Florida says it is a “misconception” that “the founders desired strict separation of church and state,” the Washington Post reports. Driving the news: That and other content in a state-sponsored training course has raised eyebrows among some who have participated and felt it was omitting unflattering information about the country's founders, pushing inaccuracies and centering religious ideas, per the Post. The Constitution explicitly bars the government from “respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Scholars interpret the passage to require a separation of church and state, per the Post. In another example, the training states that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were against slavery, while omitting the fact that each owned enslaved people.

Florida training program: "Misconception" that founders wanted separation of church and state

So ... DeSantis and his Fascist supporters want to just straight up lie to generations of children about the history of American violence, oppression, racism, and they are using the law to do that.

I’m speechless. I haven’t finished my coffee yet, and it’s early, but ... holy fuck. I am speechless.

congrats to toshiro for being the first male victim of fandom misogyny

As cute Bonnie and Enzo are sometimes, why does no one outside Bonnie stans ever talk about how rushed and poorly developed they are.

They are adorable, though mostly only in the last season, and I like the fact that Bonnie was finally able to have an stable relationship where the guy respected her and didn't fuck ghosts, but my god they had no development as to how they got together and if I'm honest, only Bonnie seemed interested in him prior dating.

Also "you shouldn't protest outside religious institutions it looks bad" I have some bad news for you about where one of the main places fascists and reactionaries like to use to speak and spread their toxic tar pit ideas

[kayooreh]

honest to goodness discussion: is woobifying historical figures that are (rightfully) controversial a marker of "good" morals because it disrespects asshole racists' legacies, or is it a marker of "bad" morals because it prioritizes drawing these asshole racists in cutesy memey internettish ways rather than reflecting on their sordid pasts and the people who were victimized by them?

So…. I guess RBR didn’t learn from the first two attempts at dumping an under-experienced rookie into the second car next to max….

[talknerdytome18]

Hot take but just because Stanley Forbes had a traumatic childhood, it doesn't excuse his racism.

People voting Rhaegar over Balon in a Worst Dad poll cause "at least Balon was good to one kid" and a thousand comments crying cause Rhaegar was mean to his "WOC" wife, I really have to laugh. The way people hate the fanon!Rhaegar they've invented seriously needs to be studied

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.

Why I’ll never accept any sort of chance Quaritch might have for a redemption arc when we had this scene..

Those were babies! And young children and families!! I’m willing to bet that entire bloodlines were completely eradicated that day💔
