sometimes adulthood is about becoming oddly excited in finding a small mom n pop grocer that will sell you honeycrisp apples at a shockingly low price

Things I'm seeing the Fanon Stans (/pos /affectionate /neutral) pick up lately:

al Ghuls are highly educated doctors ✅️✅️ <- true and correct and canon 👌

Duke hates Dick 🆗️ <- extrapolation and exaggeration but funny and potential-ful

You can identify a Fanon Stan when they preface their statements with "I'm pretty sure that..." or "Well didn't [thing] happen in canon?" and then repeat a cherry-picked or exaggerated version of canon filtered through the silly/venting/manipulative account of a Canon Stan.

So many people on that poll voting ‘the sun doesn’t love us’ like you fool. She kisses you every morning and reaches out to caress you every evening. She grows the food you eat. She shines so brightly she is burning with love for her beloved earth.

‘But she burned me!’ Does a lover never bite the lip of their companion a little too hard sometimes? You can choose to put on sunscreen. She can’t choose to extinguish her heart.

The sun loves us. Maybe a bit too much. But it’s love all the same.

just completed my final american rite of passage by experiencing my first ever shooting and when I tell you this dumbass fired off 20 shots (I counted) at the man he wanted to kill and only managed to hit him in the thigh. Not even getting the artery. never experienced so much second hand embarrassment for a person in my life

To the tune of Billy Joel's "Back in the USSR" but it cuts off at "Back in the US"... how I feel about Tashkent lmao

Anyways, you're afraid of how this election is going to go, and you're not sure what you can do to help,

Here's some tips on how to get active in your local community if you are not already:

Look up local groups on facebook.

If you have a local "Buy Nothing" / "Free things in X" group, join it, and see if you're able to pitch in when your neighbors are in need. Probably 80% of the posts in my local Buy Nothing group is parents looking for baby formula, baby clothes, or toys, so even the smallest things you can help with can make a huge difference.

Look up and join a local community garden or gardening group. If you're not good with plants, see if anyone local can show you how to get started with planting, care, harvest, and especially seed saving.

Once you've got it down pat, share your knowledge and share your produce. Gift your neighbors with fresh vegetables and fruits and if you've got tons, post online to see if anyone wants to do some swaps or pick up extra.

Teach people how to save and plant the seeds from any ripe fruits or veggies you give them, and over time you'll have a bigger and wider community growing their own food and sharing it freely.

Look up plants native to your area and try to grow them in your garden to support local pollinators; sharing and gifting Native plants is a great way to make connections and foster communities, almost as much as sharing food.

Join local "What kind of snake is this?" facebook groups and learn how to differentiate between venomous and nonvenomous snakes in your area, and learn to appreciate native wildlife instead of being terrified at the sight of a single scale, and spread awareness of the importance of native wildlife.

Volunteer at your local food pantry, and see if there's anything more you can do to help; try to spread awareness and if its in your ability, see if they need help with delivering food to those without transportation, and see if you can start recruiting more like-minded people as delivery drivers, because most of the time its down to one single person to help over a dozen local families with food delivery who would otherwise go hungry.

See if you have a local library, get a library card, and see if there's anything you can help with, or see if they have local programs you can join to learn new skills, read books out loud to people, or if you have a skill of your own you'd be interested in sharing with others, consider signing up to make your own club to teach others.

See if there are places with local game nights like Bingo, D&D, etc and join in to meet new locals directly.

If you have any kind of local queer programs, join and meet your local queer community members and see what you can do to help or just to make new friends.

If you have a local program or group that strives to help marginalized communities, see what you can do to help; many local cities will have some kind of program where you can help out newly immigrated families with tours around town, giving rides to those without transportation, showing them the local grocery stores, helping them with the local currency, and doing translations that you can join to make a big difference in someone's life for the better!

woke up at 4am feeling the weight of my life crushing me, so I’ve been sitting out in my car for the last couple of hours because I just need. to. be. somewhere else.

I feel like knock down drag out fighting with the guys from Just King Things half the time, but despite that it might be the only podcast I truly look forward to listening to.

(I truly enjoy arguing with people I think are both smart and good faith)

also bro the way my coworker last week said “only we are” after I joked “nothing here is real” (we work at a vegan restaurant) ….. pure poetry
