"We often have to explain to young people why study is useful. It's pointless telling them that it's for the sake of knowledge, if they don't care about knowledge. Nor is there any point in telling them that an educated person gets through life better than an ignoramus, because they can always point to some genius who, from their standpoint, leads a wretched life. And so the only answer is that the exercise of knowledge creates relationships, continuity, and emotional attachments. It introduces us to live longer, because we don't just remember our own life but also those of others. It creates an unbroken thread that runs from our adolescence (and sometimes from infancy) to present day. And all this is very beautiful."
— Umberto Eco

Transfers
Jim Gordon decided to offer his home to the students transferring from Casper High to Gotham Prep for a few months. Barbara wasn't too happy about it but Jim preferred that to having those kids end up in a dangerous place or worse, with Bruce Wayne (he meant well but frankly Jim would rather not risk another young vigilante). Besides, one of the transfers practically demanded a restraining order against the millionaires, the poor kid.
Honestly Jim didn't understand why the transfer program existed. Casper didn't know how dangerous Gotham was? Or didn't they care?, all he hoped was that he could keep them safe and that they wouldn't come back to their home too traumatized.
Of course, he had no way of knowing that the Casper's trio was more than ready for Gotham, with weapons disguised in their suitcases and a ghost hero about to enjoy an extended vacation after negotiating a deal with the ghosts.
Gotham wouldn't know who hit it.

Back home after spending the weekend in Los Cabos Mexico as guests for a destination wedding, which was absolutely spectacular. But it feels good to be back in real life! I'm excited to stay put for the next month and get back to my daily routines.

went to the mall to get some clothes for church/school/work. gaining weight and growing out of clothes then having to buy a whole new wardrobe is one of the biggest scams on this bitch of an earth.
i also forgot my sephora bag in a dressing room or else i’d be putting on a sheet mask rn.
anyway, you don’t need to “deserve” nice things to do them for yourself. you just need to be.
