“I hate new country music because the genre has shifted from being retelling of folk tales and tales of the underprivileged working class of the American south and has now boiled down to bragging about your truck.”: absolutely
In case you haven’t been on Twitter lately the most recent discourse is that a vegan consoled a crying child and gave her money for ice cream, and another vegan made a callout because she didn’t tell the child to buy vegan ice cream.
did U GUYS KNOW, that the way stores get the balloons off of the ceiling is with ANOTHER balloon, w tape on the top??? and they just dont cut the string so it’s like super long and u gotta aim it right n reel it in. i just found that out today when i DID IT and it’s been the best working day of my life i had a blast blowing up balloons and fetching some off the ceiling. i had so much power? and NO ONE ELSE in my department likes that job so now it’s MY job when need be
omg so I work at a museum and one of our buildings has a) very high ceilings and b) a bizarrely sensitive alarm system that will go off if anything touches the ceiling. Because of this, helium balloons are considered public enemy #1 and are strictly forbidden from entering the museum. But just in case an illicit balloon is successfully smuggled in, the museum has acquired a fucking b.b. gun for the express purpose of shooting down rogue balloons.
anyway, my older sister was adopted when she was almost 16 (kinda on accident too), and because of that she got away from an abusive household, went from barely passing classes to being an honour student, and launching into a career where she’s happy and healthy and paying her own way. just two years of parenting where she had 3 meals a day, a bedtime, and parents to help and protect her changed her life radically. Plus, i got an older sister
adopt teenagers.
As an adopted kid I support this message
people who say things like “oh you only have a few years with them” need to remember that these are human beings not a used car. every human being deserves a support system, a jumping off block, a safe place to return
I can’t believe Into the Spiderverse casually made Peter Parker canonically Jewish. I feel valid in this chili’s tonight.
in case you missed it, bc I did, when Peter says that he “got married”, the animation to go with it shows him stomping on a glass:
which is what you do for a jewish wedding
I’m re-reblogging this because I’m seething about how many ppl are denying this or straight up telling op, my friend, that Peter cant be Jewish because of bs stuff like “his characters based around guilt which is a catholic thing (huh?) Or “that’s not really Peter it’s an AU Peter” and “well… non-jewish ppl might smash glasses at their wedding too??” (Wtf??) None of you said “that’s not really Peter” when we were excited he was finally out of his origin story?
You need to sit the fuck down and think about why youre so adamant on discouraging the idea of Jewish Peter Parker
(PS: Stan Lee and Jack Kirby are Jewish, so no, I dont think either are “rolling in their graves”, they’d probably approve actually, since Stan based Peter partly on himself)
Y'all have heard about Catholic guilt, now get ready for
JEWISH GUILT
It should also be noted that in the main Marvel Universe, Peter’s middle name is Benjamin. Just saying.
Like most superheroes are Jewish if not Jewish-coded for the sole fact of most of the people that wrote those characters into existence are… wait for it…
Jewish
Also “With great power comes great responsibility” is hella Jewish mood, it’s the same mood as “[…] if I am only for myself, who am I? And if not now, when?”.
Uncle Ben is big Pirkei Avot mood.
We’re representing everyone today.
Besides, Catholic Guilt is Matt Murdock’s brand. He’d be pissed if some kid from Queens came for that. Why do you think Daredevil and Spider-Man are so different? They’re the representations of Catholic vs Jewish Guilt. Different brands, but both broody.
