The Batman (2022) dir. Matt Reeves
Hanging out with old people rules because after a while they trust you enough to confess to murder totally unprompted
Wait what.
Sometimes old ladies had to kick the ladder out from under their stepfathers when they were girls and thatās valid
oh, my little old lady murder story was her replacing the medication in her abusive husband's capsules with rat poison.
"back in the day, our grandmothers worked on their marriages and didn't get divorced!" nah, friend, they COULDN'T get a divorce so sometimes they killed their fuckin husbands. ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
My grandma murdered her first husband the first time he beat their daughter.
My college was next to an assisted living facility and one time we went over there to draw peopleās portraits so we could get practice drawing older people. The lady I was drawing idly told me that she "dealt quite handily with her first husbandā while making a stabbing gesture. Five minutes later she requested I make sure not to draw her double chin. I honored that request.
So when I was a child my grandmother told all these great stories about growing up in the Alaskan wilderness. Amazing bad ass stories about her and my great-grandmother. I recently asked my mom why my great-grandmother moved from Texas to Alaska in the first place. Turns out my Great-grandfather was abusive to my great grandmother for years and she lived with that until the first time he hit my grandmother, who was like three at the time, my great-grandmother got him very drunk and beat him to death then moved to Alaska to hide from the cops.
Men don't realize their life expectancy went up thanks to divorce.
Figure 9.3 shows that the number of males killed by intimate partners dropped by 71.4% between 1976 and 2002. Researchers and advocates for battered women attribute this dramatic decline to the widespread availability of support services for women, including shelters, crisis counseling, hotlines, and legal measures such as protection and restraining orders. These services offer abused women options for escaping violence and abuse other than taking their partners' lives. Other factors that may have contributed to the decline are the increased ease of obtaining divorce and the generally improved economic conditions for women.

My mom is a gastroenterologist and she once told me that the old wives' tale of people who died of "stopped digestion" was pretty much made up to cover up for women who got fed up with their abusive husbands and slipped some rat poison into their dinner (esp in rural areas). Local doctors knew who these men were (everyone knew) and the community pretty much nodded along when the death certificate said natural causes. The widow would dress in black for a couple years and basically go on with her life.

NASA Data Sonification: Black Hole Remix
In this sonification of Perseus. the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. The sound waves were extracted outward from the center. (source)
No, thank you. I did not need to hear the souls of a universe calling to me from the afterlife.
Someone needs to make a space thriller/horror/whatever with this mixed into the music
why does it sound exactly like what it feels like a black hole should sound like
But wait, if you think that sounds terrifying:
The planet Saturn makes noise. The planet emits signals through plasma waves, which can be converted into sound.
So, in 2017, after recovering the Cassini spacecraft that literally fell through Saturn, scientists recovered the recordings the spacecraft made of the planet.
And you know what it sounds like?
Ooooo

One of my favorite genera of posts is "Libertarians realizing that a world without regulation just means that the people with money end up running everything"
I won't shame them, honestly.
I think a lot about how, if the glorious violent revolution happens, every kid with significant medical needs in a hospital where power gets cut will die.
You can decide you're willing to sacrifice your own life, but you don't get to tell everybody else on the planet that they're acceptable collateral damage.
This gets notes every time it drifts into leftist circles. But hereās the thing: I am a doctor. I have cared for children in hospitals. Vast, intricate supply chains that rely on functioning world governments with trade agreements are necessary to the provision of modern medical care. There is no way to work it so those kids can win if electricity, water, food, or medical supplies like sterile intravenous fluid bags or EKG stickers get interrupted. Forget even permanent disruption, a temporary disruption of the sterile tubing necessary for surgery would mean a lot of kids die of appendicitis. The generators we have as back-up are meant to last minutes, not weeks. And you can say āunder my new system, the total violence done would ultimately be less than the violence done by the state,ā but itās easier to say that about a hypothetical kid than one lying on a gurney in front of you. When youāve been responsible for a lifeāwhen youāve lost a patient, when youāve been through a Code Blue for a one-year-oldāthere is nothing you would not do in order to protect that life. I think all the time about what Devilās bargains I would make for various situations; itās one of the fucked up things I do. I can tell you that I would kill anyone who tried to cut power to my hospital, or I would die trying. There is no alternative.
The world is too interconnected to allow one part of it to go down. When Puerto Rico got slammed by hurricanes and the US did fuck all about it, we had a nationwide shortage of bagged IV fluids. I was working in hospitals through that. Things we normally do as part of routine medical care, like giving the puking kid with the migraine IV Zofran and Reglan, got a whole lot harder. I was working inpatient during COVID, when there were sudden shortages of pain and anxiety medications we relied on, like opioids and benzodiazepines. There was a nationwide shortage of lidocaine last year and we had to save it for biopsies of suspect cancers. Surgery requires not only a surgeon but an entire team of people and complex equipment to safely sterilize tools, most of which are now based around laparoscopic surgery that requires camera tools instead of the old-school open surgeries. You could not even say ābut the surgeons can still operateā because no. They canāt. Not safely. Not with ether instead of succinate and fentanyl. I could deliver your baby after the apocalypse, but whoās staffing the blood banks when you have a post-partum hemorrhage and I donāt have three trained nurses with a kit of specialty meds to slow the bleeding? I still remember the time during the worst of COVID when I couldnāt fly a patient from our rural hospital to an urban hospital that could have done the operation he needed, because the hospitals were completely full. I had to buy time with heavy-duty IV antibiotics (the one and only time Iāve been allowed to use a -penem) while he lay there in agony for 12 hours until a bed came open and we could transfer him. If we couldnāt treat the pain and keep the infection from killing him long enough to operate, he would have died then and there, in front of us, while we stood there helplessly.
So how many kids are you OK with watching die from a ruptured appendix? Thatās what comes in to the ED at two in the morning and within half an hour if youāre lucky has an ultrasound proving the diagnosis and a surgeon getting scrubbed in. If there isnāt ultrasound, ultrasound techs, pain medication, anesthesiologists, ventilation machine for when youāre under, light-up scopes with blades to allow for intubation bc then thereās direct visualization of the vocal cords, paralytic medications to keep you still, medications to keep you asleep, monitoring machines that read your blood pressure ans CO2 levels and pulse oximetry while youāre under, computer scheduling for OR time, post-op recovery nurses, gurneys, autoclaves, specialized small metal tools for the surgeryāif there are interruptions in training or production of any of these and a whole lot more, anyone could die of a surgical problem, but it hurts worse when itās a kid. Watch breast cancer come back into vogue, as we lose mammograms. You ever treated a woman whoās ignored breast cancer so long itās now a fungating mass? Go Google what that looks like. Two cases have walked into my office and they are both dead now. One was schizophrenic. Without modern global supply chains, we donāt have lorazepam or morphine for humane death, let alone psych meds. How many people would deteriorate? Get specific. Which friends would you be willing to watch die? Which of their kids are expendable?
What kind of violent revolution are you planning where you are able to look a patient in the eye and tell them, āYour death is necessary to my vision,ā and not understand that you are the villain?
You get to decide whether you want to end your own life for this glorious future. You do not get to decide to end my life or my patientsā lives or anyone elseās. You are not God and you do not get to make plans as if you are, as if you have the One Correct Vision and the rest of us just need to fall in line and follow the prophet. Fuck you. You think the Black kid whose treatment team I was on while he writhed in pain on a hospital bed because he had a kidney transplant and it was rejecting wouldnāt tell you to go fuck yourself about your violent revolution? Our society is no longer able to tolerate large-scale disruptions. We have built too much and we would lose too much. We are too big to fail, and although itās easy to see that as a bad thing, what I keep seeing, over and over, is that transplant team. How the nephrologist and the resident and the nurses and techs and pharmacists and therapists were working together to keep that kid alive. The scientists who did the research, relying on impossibly complex systems that have taken hundreds of years to build. Collaboration is how we survive.
We cannot allow the vulnerable to die and call that progress. We cannot turn the lights out on any hospitals, because the people in the ICU on ventilators will stop breathing and die within minutes. Would you want that to happen if itās your mother in that ICU? Would you tell your mother the answer to that? What if it was your child? What about your favorite sibling? How many of other peopleās families are you willing to sacrifice for the sake of something that stands a virtually 100% chance of going up in flames immediately, when we look at prior attempts at creating a new government out of war and chaos? The massive impacts of even āsmallā shortages on patients is not theoretical and has killed patients since Iāve been an attending, starting three years ago.
You do not own the right to anyone elseās life.
And if you think you want a violent revolution, see how you do with your next toothache without pain meds, lidocaine, dental expertise, and composite that lets you keep the tooth and keep chewing. How long would you have to suffer to crack?
Collaboration is how we survive.
Learning anything about marine mammal training will make you re-evaluate so much of your relationship with your own pets. There is so much force involved in the way we handle domestic animals. Most of it isnāt even intentional, it just stems from impatience. Iām guilty of it myself!
But with the exception of certain veterinary settings where the animalās health is the immediate priority, why is it so important to us that animals do exactly what we want exactly when we want it? Why do we have to invent all these tools and contraptions to force them to behave?
When a whale swam away from a session, that was that. The trainer just waited for them to decide to come back. If they flat out refused to participate in behaviors, they still got their allotment of fish. Nothing bad happened. Not even when 20-30 people were assembled for a procedure, and the whale chose not to enter the medical pool. No big deal. Their choice and comfort were prioritized over human convenience.
Itās almost shocking to return to domestic animal medicine afterwards and watch owners use shock collars and chokers and whips to control their animals. Itās no wonder that positive reinforcement was pioneered by marine mammal trainers. When you literally canāt force an animal to do what you want, it changes your entire perspective.
I want to see that mindset extended to our domestic animals.
kinda dumb comparison bc obv caged zoo animals can't run into traffic or attack other pets or even people like an untrained pet / livestock animal can. flipper won't maul your neighbour's children bc you didn't teach them that recall and impulse control are not a choice
This is my typical recommendation for keeping a dog from running into traffic:
My daily conversations with myself...
i like to imagine that clark kentās search history is mostly normal but then thereās stuff like āimproved superman costume concept artā because he wanted ideas
#what would you even do as an artist #if one day superman is just wearing a costume that is clearly your design #like superman was clearly looking at your deviantart #there is a chance that superman saw that art you drew of him kissing batman #why is he wearing the costume you designed #is he trying to send a message #is he saying that he really does smooch batman #did superman see your kryptosona #how much does he knowĀ
someone said they wanted to be able to reblog this with my horrible tags
no but like⦠do you sue him for using your designs? Do you politely ask him to stop using your designs? Do you ask him for license fees when the Superman merchandise adopts your design as well?Ā
i am absolutely sure that he would find one with an artistās comment/description that included āhey superman if youāre reading this feel free to use this anytime ok ;3ā³ and he would say āoh man thatās so thoughtful, thank you weedhorse69, I think I willā and like how do you explain in court that you, weedhorse69, did not intend for your statement to be any kind of contractual offer because you did not think he would ever find your public internet post with his name all over it
#people are reblogging the version of this without my final addition#offended that i would suggest clark kent wouldnāt credit the artist#missing what i consider to be the obvious facts of the matter#itās probably a costume designed out of pure thirst too like#weedhorse69 is gonna keep his mouth shut because this way he gets to watch superman#running around town in a costume that really shows off his biceps and abs#he thought it looked summery#the league holds an intervention asking him to please stop wearing it#he does not stop no one can stop him#batman v superman II: clark please put on a real shirt
tumblr is garbage and likes to resize everything and readmores donāt work on mobile anyway so you all will just have to click through if you want to read weedhorse69ā²s chatlog screenshots

In my opinion people who start to viciously hate bottlenose dolphins after learning the full picture of their exhibited behaviour are weaklings. I learned about dolphin infanticide and gang violence as a preteen, went, ānature sure can be very cruelā and moved on with my damn day TToTT
Omg, way to go destigmatising sharks while turning around and going āthis is the bad one šā TToTT
Dolphins (and orcas, their whole family) are extremely smart. They're on the short list of animals which are very likely to be people, along with great apes, corvids, elephants, and octopi. Notably, not sharks.
And they're assholes. They do things not because it benefits them or because it's instincts, but because it torments their enemies. They kill slowly and torturously for fun.
We believe elephants are people because they have invented caring for the remains of the dead.
We believe dolphins are people because they have invented torture.
Huh! And here I thought we believed dolphins are people because theyāre able to recognize themselves from the mirror and they have complex languages with dialects. Guess it was the torture instead!
Donāt orcas also mourn their dead? And arenāt dolphins and orcas (usually) great parents? And what about all those stories about dolphins helping people?
Kinda funny how ābeing a personā means āhas free will and therefore is capable of doing both great, kind things and shitty, horrible things, depending on a variety of factorsā.
My friend made a video saying to stop assigning human morals to cuckoos becuase being a parasite bird is literally just there natural instinct and they canāt have any intentions with it. It has thousands of hate comments saying cuckoos should die, there evil, if I see them I try to kill them in there nest, horrible shit like that. THEY ARE MADE TO DI THAT, THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE ECOSYSTEM AND THEY NEED TO DO THAT TO SURVIVE. And they are animals with no intentions or values
Cuckoo hate makes me very sad too. The cuckoo baby doesnāt realise what itās doing :( Seriously, when that baby is born it knows absolutely nothing, it doesnāt āknowā that itās in a place where it shouldnāt be in, and it doesnāt suddenly ādecideā to start pushing other eggs off. Itās in their instincts, it doesnāt understand. All they know is that theyāre hungry! Even as an adult, a cuckoo bird doesnāt start pondering the morality of placing its eggs in another birdās nest, it doesnāt weigh in the options of NOT reproducing (and in nature the chance to reproduce doesnāt always come again, the bird could literally die the next day) or reproducing and destroying another birdās reproduction success. They donāt do that! Their instinct tells them to lay eggs in a foreign nest and thatās what they do. Understandably parasitism makes us uncomfortable, but like, cuckoos donāt cause bird populations in an area to drop or disappear entirely, thereās still so many other birds with nests that are successful and even then thereās so many things that can kill baby birds, the cuckoo isnāt the only one
tried to vent in a trans space about how, as a trans man whoās been on T for a long time (over 7 years now), i have noticed that the more i pass as a man, the less welcomed i am in queer spaces unless i go out of my way to feminize myself. and how that sucks! and itās isolating!!! and it feels horrible to see ppl who used to like you and be close to you drift further and further the more masculine (& therefore more comfortable in urself) u becomeā¦
only to get ppl replying to me and saying āwell if you dressed more fem then ppl wouldnāt be intimidated by you. you signed up for thisā
iām sorry but i didnt sign up for social isolation when i transitioned, i signed up for gender euphoria and comfort in myself and my life. and i had hoped that the ppl in my life would be able to see how much joy that brings me and continue to love me.
i need ppl to realize that telling trans ppl to change the way they present to make other ppl comfortable with their gender is fucking transphobic. itās transphobic when itās telling a trans woman to dress more femme or feminize her voice so she doesnāt āintimidate peopleā, itās transphobic when itās telling a trans man the same. it is explicitly and inexcusably transphobic and it is literally never okay. trans people belong in queer spaces. period. there is no dress code. we belong there bc we built those fucking spaces.
would also like to add that as a fat, balding, very passing bear of a trans man who DOES dress and present very femme, the whole "if you were more femme people wouldn't be uncomfortable" thing doesn't even fucking work for me because i pass as the Wrong Kind of feminine man. i'm not a skinny little 20 yr old twink, so it's gross and offputting when i crossdress, but if i go full masc i'm even more offputting, and even if i out myself i still get Looks or am treated coldly lmfao. you're only allowed to be a cute little genderbending boyprincess if you're palatable: thin and pale and hairless and harmless. i've said it before but the root of this problem, and the problem OP faces, is that queer people need to get the fuck over their fear of people who look like they might have a penis because it is isolating to trans men and fucking deadly to trans women. it's all "gender is fake you can do whatever you want forever" until you set off too many Penis Haver alarms and suddenly you're treated like a loaded gun. anyway butch tgirls and tboy fembears i love you
Sat too long in my feelings about the Gotham Knights video game Jason Todd going to therapy and trying to engage with his siblings from a place of healing and hurt myself, so now I'm inflicting this on all of you, but:
Do you ever think about how Jason only ever gets to experience Dick as an extension of the breakdown of Dick and Bruce's relationship at that time? Granted, depending on the comic era, Dick maybe doesn't show up as much as he should, or Jason acts like an antagonistic little shit, but overall, Dick's falling out with Bruce overshadows all of it.
And, like, yeah, it's funny to joke that only Jason knows that Dick went through a shitbag teenage phase and that no one ever believes him. (Gaslight, Gate Keep, Gotham ā) And Jason is irate about it because how can they not see through what is clearly The World's Best Big Brother Act? How can no one else see it's fake?
(Unless it's not fake, and Jason just wasn't worth loving... No, fuck off, he doesn't care, he doesn't. Leave him alone.)
But at the same time, what if Jason's the only one who realizes it's a trauma response?
What if Jason's in the middle of a therapy session or reading one of the self-help books we see him ordering, and he just has to take a moment to breathe because, of course, it's a fucking trauma response. Of course, it is.
Dick's not pretending to be anything. He was, in fact, so severely affected by Jason's death that he over-corrected and now refuses to let himself be anything other than the Perfect Big Brother. Because he can't. Because when he's not perfect, when he's not there for them, they die.
Suddenly the golden retriever's cheerfulness is less grating and more worrying. Dick's need for perfection is less an annoying personality trait to compete with and more an exhausted cry for help that no one else seems to see. Not even Dick.
Because Jason realizes now that he might have never managed to live up to the Golden Boy mantle, but Dick will never get to put it down, either. Because he can't let himself. Because bad shit happens when he does.
So what if that's what he hopes Dick reads between the lines in the email he sends him in GK?
What if, by saying, "Hey, I realize now trying to hold myself to your standards was damaging my relationship with you, but I need you to know it wasn't your fault," was also Jason saying, "Hey, this shit isn't healthy are you fucking okay?"
A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.
Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, heās just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because itās framed as a punishment.
Another family use a baseball cap. Itās just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When theyāre out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell heās being punished because itās in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.
And there isnāt the same contempt afterwards Iāve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said āSorry Ellieā and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.
The psych nerds found out ages ago that punishments that make the child think for a few minutes (about one minute or year of age until they're tweens) is much more helpful to develope social intelligence and understanding than punishments which prevents thinking, like the ones that involve pain. In fact, corporal punishment encouraged lying, extreme reactions, violent outbursts, go figure, they don't trust you.
This is all really fucking serious and important and I'm mainly reblogging for that, because this correct mentality needs to be spread around more, but I'm also reblogging because I absolutely lost it at the child who dreads having to wear the normal blue hat of shame.

sometimes iāmĀ likeĀ āfanfiction canāt shock me anymore iāmĀ numb to itā then i find this shit
every moment of a cumulative thirteen years of catholicĀ education is simultaneously screaming out in agony at this reply
Tbh the only way an average-looking guy could get 12 hot guys to follow him around and hang off his every word is if heās the only top
Obviously Christ was a top, the Catholic Church keeps reminding us heās inside everyone, and the one and only time he got nailed, it took him three days to recover.
So aināt nobody gonna ask OP what they were doing looking for Jesus/Judas fanfiction?
trying to find jesus/judas fanfiction to read i thought that was obvious
OPs url makes this the funniest thread Iāve ever read in my life
