I got jump scared when he first appeared and had to rewind his scenes because I couldn't focus. All I could think was "Yoichi?!?!?!"

(This is Akira Soma from Fruits Basket. I've only recently gotten into anime so I just finished watching it today. I liked it.)

So, I really love the selection of Tim Walz for VP and it’s taken me a moment to articulate why. I mean, obviously, Dem bonafides, he’s sharp, he’s funny, etc etc. But everyone in the Veepstakes fits that bill, Harris was spoiled for good choices.

But Walz offers something that the other men in contention don’t that I think will be incredibly useful in combating Trumpism.

He offers an example and an off ramp to the section of men who felt like they were Republicans by default, and so support Trump by default. There are a lot of Trump voters who are full on obsessive, but that’s not who we’re talking to. We’re talking to folks who grew up in Republican areas, or felt their hobbies didn’t line up with who a Democrat was, or didn’t feel represented by their image of a Democrat. You want to see it so you can be it, you know? Which is why Harris is so inspirational to a lot of segments of folks, but Walz is too.

He served in the military. He went to a state college. He’s your favorite teacher from your public high school. He’s your football coach who actually cared if you were passing your math class. He’s the guy you looked up to at school when your family sucked but this guy cared, and he helped you get out and make something of yourself.

He’s the neighbor who helps you jump your car. He’s your uncle who takes you hunting. He’s your Dad who loves teasing you at the Stare Fair. He’s you when he makes a mistake like his DUI and takes responsibility for it, and when he has the chance makes sure other can come back from similar mistakes. He’s you when you and your wife want so badly to be parents and IVF gives you the family you wanted. He’s you when he says ‘it had to be me’ and used his standing and power to protect vulnerable kids sponsoring the GSA at his school.

He gives the real life example to these men that they can be that football, fishing, hunting family man who wants to provide for his family, be that powerful, respected member of the community and use that power to feed kids in school. That it’s normal to enthusiastically work for a boss like Harris. That yeah those other guys are fucking weirdos, and you’re not a weirdo, are you?

That there’s a place in the Democratic Party for them. That they don’t have to default to being fucking weird.

I hope those guys see this example of masculinity and go… yeah, that’s me. That’s who I’m gonna be.

trans women are everywhere and are so eager to be seen and heard but only if they feel safe around you. if you hardly ever have trans women interacting with you, especially online, then consider there might be a reason for that and you should address it

Being a crane wives fan is like "Oh, I've been feeling sad about something, I'll listen to the crane wives new song to cheer myself up" and then the song perfectly describes why your sad about it

"Why doesn't Batman just kill the Joker?" Well, ignoring the ethical and personal questions here, why does it have to be Batman? There are hundreds of heroes in the DC universe, and millions of people in Gotham alone. That's not even counting all the antiheroes, vigilantes, and straight up villains who have a grudge against him. Why is this responsiblity on Bruce's shoulders?

Lol Doflamingo and Usopp interacting is hilarious. Like imagine Doffy calling Usopp from Impel Down and spouting random crap and Usopp thinks he’s threatening him but Doffy’s just calling him cuz he’s bored.

Different approach since its not like the previous sketches

I'm so tired and sad. Everywhere I look I see Jewish people feeling lonely and isolated because they lost so many friends and they feel like they can't find anyone who actually cares and understands them. I wish I could just be everyone's friend.

If you're Jewish, or converting, and you need a friend, don't hesitate to DM me or get in contact in some way. I know it's not much, and I know most people won't even see this, but idk it's a start. Don't be shy, I won't judge you. Please reach out if you want to or need to

Anybody entering a relationship with a Wayne will be subjected to not only the world's scariest shovel talk, but also a surprise membership to the secret support group made up of various spouses/boyfriends/girlfriends of the Wayne's.
