t4t dick and kory for an art trade!! i honestly should’ve kept this b and w
more people need to consume media how dedicated comics fans consume their media of choice
go up to any comics fan and ask them which writers house they would mail pipe bombs to and they’ll list of at the bare minimum 5 different people. ask them their favorite character and you’ll be greeted with an answer followed by why every comic ever featuring that character has been literally the worst and they refuse to read it again. truly i don’t think there’s another group of people so invested in something that they truly despise to such a great degree.
to people who keep saying that this applies to their respective fandom: you will never experience this
From the Man Who Wants Everything
“Lex,” Clark yelps, “I mean, Luthor,” and then there’s a series of clatters and bangs that make Lex smirk. He clears his throat, deepens his voice, and puts on his best Superman. “What do you want, Luthor?” “Oh, you know,” Lex says in his best airy supervillain falsetto. “It’s been so long. I was thinking we could talk.” “We don’t talk,” Clark says flatly. Lex sighs. “Fine,” he says. “Do you really want me to do this over the Daily Planet tip line?” “Do what?” “I’m staring at some photos of you down at the Metropark, Clark. What the hell are you doing?” It’s clear from the pause that Clark isn’t sure how to answer that. Trying to come up with a suitable lie? “It … isn’t clear from the photos?” he asks, instead. “You’re not gay, Clark!” Lex returns, annoyed. “I’m not?” Clark sounds confused.
Or, I finally finished my post-series Lex POV clubslut Clark fic. Chapter two available now!
Hi everyone! I've finally finished the last chapter! Thank you to @boyfriendgideon & @blarfkey for your help beta-reading, as well as the many, many people who have helped me out or read sections of this that I wasn't sure about while working on it!! Wow, it feels so crazy to be at the end of this fic && I really want to thank everyone who engaged with me! And to be even a little broader and little more emotional at the end of this, I've had such wonderful & like, welcoming time writing, reading, watching & talking about Smallville with everyone so :D I'm excited to share this final chapter! Hope you enjoy!
My kookiest belief is that we all came from the ocean so when u think life is meaningless u must get yourself to a body of water ASAP water is in all of us and mother ocean wants us back and u will find serenity by a river or lake or the seashore

“Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions. Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time. In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows: “The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.” In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts.”

Every EVERY women’s studies class I’ve been in has had this problem and failed to address it.

i’d be so pissed off if dick grayson were my brother imagine you’re having a laugh with him and you make some joke about bruce wayne that he’s decided in his beautiful mind went too far in ways that you actually don’t fully understand and he suddenly gets all serious and looks darkly to the side and goes “you don’t know him. not like i do. you haven’t bled for him and loved him the way that i have.” like oh my fucking god bro i was playinggg
I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.
The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”
1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.
Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.
It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.
RATING: RELIABLE
you can listen to the clip of the 1954 interview here and find him on wikipedia here

This is the image that Israel is trying to hide from the world. This is Gaza. This is the reality of 90 percent of the Gaza Strip that has been subjected to genocide.
The explosives dropped on the people of the Gaza Strip are equivalent to 20 nuclear bombs like those dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Does anyone still doubt that Israel committed and continues to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing against us here in the Gaza Strip?

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
HAVE THAT CHARACTER GAIN WEIGHT AS A SIGN OF HEALING: NOW
