fellas is it gay to visit the graves of achilles and patroclus with your personal bodyguard/bff who you named second in command to your empire and compare yourself to achilles and him to patroclus and also lose your mind when he dies and die yourself not eight months later

And if I said that Aaron Minyard greets every new adult with a miss/mister or ma’am/sir because it was beat into him by his mother to make her look good? And he never stopped because when he forgot to as a kid he would get beat? And it took him months to stop calling abby Miss Abigail and coach Mr Wymack because he was scared to get in trouble? What then??

I know this isn't the vibe you're using Superman for, but I was wondering all the same if you had any thoughts for a world where Kal-Els ship crashed in rural Indonesia?

No thoughts in particular just because Superman as a character is so tied to the American context that having his ship land anywhere else would drastically change the narrative. Like if he's still a white passing man, he'd be treated differently in Indonesia compared to America. It would be a whole other conversation that would lose sight of the point of Superman as a character. (I know there are AUs where he lands somewhere else but that's besides the point outside of a what if scenario)

If I had to take a crack at "Indonesian Superman" I would rather go the Kong Kenan route where it's a new origin from the ground up that considers the political context of the country he's in.

There's someone on radio 2 right now arguing that going on your laptop during a performance in a theatre is completely fine and acceptable, what

Gun to head, I’m picking the bottom left box, I think Harris loses substantial ground with non-college men of color (i.e. crosstabs are directionally correct) but does well enough with college-educated voters to eke out a win in the electoral college but we’ll see!

It's 4 am and im just feeling so bad, disgusted and tensed up because of what happened hours ago in my city, in Moscow. My mom lives not this far from that place.

The bloodshed and horror.

And it happens in so many places in the world, with much bigger numbers of deaths, not because of some just specific "bad bandits and religious radicals" they always show on media.

It's all fucking them, who write laws and will prison us for not paying taxes which will mostly go for more bloodshed in other countries. Even for bloodshed of own people.

This bstard of the president didn't even lift his ass up from his bed to make a speech. The fck he should, right? He already won recent "voting" after all.

I'm so sick of it.

I wonder what Lady Liberty would feel now. To be a woman in the US.

Please stay safe and be civil, everyone.

And take a break from social media if you must 🩵

Going to bed soon I think but um I know I don't talk much politics but since it's gonna affect me due to living in the US, all I have to say is that I hope everyone stays as safe as they can be and that they voted. We can only wish that everything will be okay. Hugs to all of you 🫂🫂🫂

Reading old comics is like wow they could not write this today (derogatory) or wow they could not write this today (positive)
