I typically avoid conflict on the internet, mostly because it never ends well, but god if there’s anyone I’m willing to fight, it’s fuckers who deny science and modern medicine.
I’m not bothered by them having a different opinion, but when their views are outright causing damage to both people and the world, I have a major issue.
This list includes:
Flat earthers and literally anybody who calls NASA a liar. I will fight you on this and I will win.
Vegans who put their OBLIGATE CARNIVORE pets on vegan diets.
The Karens of the world who think essential oils and crystals cure pandemics
Straight up anyone who thinks traditional medicine is better than modern medicine. I’ll concede that teas and herbs are in fact very good for your body; but in no universe are things like shark fin soup and bear bile okay.
And yes I am opening up this post to anyone wanting to argue with me. I have facts and scientific backing and I’m not afraid to use them.

She wrote willow during cup o Jo’s era and we all rolled our eyes at the ridiculous “that’s my man” repetition. So the fact that she decided to sing that’s my man while pointing at the tight end she just started dating is funny.
It’s wild to see the juxtaposition of these relationships with the Matty nonsense just chilling in the middle of all of this is just wild. 7 years so in love until it was over then a fling with matty and now she’s replacing fan established cup of Jo references with this football guy. How do fans who think Taylor is straight reconcile her willingness to just give any guy songs that they believed wholeheartedly showed how in love she was with cup of Jo?
If I believed Taylor was straight and was actually in a relationship with the boyish beau I’d think their relationship and breakup was a lot messier than they led on. Like she is intentionally throwing digs at him and erasing a 7 year relationship from existence with every public display with this new guy. But the fans secretly hated the boyish beau so they love that she’s making up for lost time with this new fella.
I’d be wondering why this isn’t this the narrative being pushed in the press? And if I was the boyish beau’s pr people (if he still has a team) I’d be using this as an opportunity to field questions (if he ever has a speaking engagement again) about what it’s like seeing Taylor in the news and moving on so publicly. Perfect opportunity to show how mature and unbothered he is by all of this.
Things move so quickly in celebrity world. Truly a whirlwind romance for the books.

I am intrigued by 'Red as red as red'
Red as Red as Red is my take on reverse robins.
it is so much about Jason and how brave he is and his experiences as the third robin with a dead predecessor and his attempts to save him through following the edgelord creepazoid to his supervillain hideouts and heckling him. and it's also a little about reverse Tim and Damian's relationship which is so acutely painful and filled with regret.
the beginning takes place in that universes titans tower attack.
Red Hood breaks in and fights jason clinically, coldly correcting his stance and moves, barely reacting to insults, before telling him stiffly that he "isn't ready" and snapping his arm in half .
Just as Red Hood prepares to leave, identity unrevealed, Nightwing swoops in and rushes to Robin's side rather than pursuing the attacker.
Red Hood, who hadn't shown a lick of emotion since his arrival, lets out a scream of fury, draws a gun, and empties a full clip into the bulletproof center of Damian's chest armor
The responding batarang cracks Hood's faceplate, and Damian and Jason discover that, against all odds, the second Robin is alive. Tim Drake is alive.

More reasons why Zuko being the Firelord is objectively the funniest thing on earth:
HES SEVENTEEN
He hasn’t been civilised in 4 years, his entire teenage experience consists of living on a boat and sleeping rough. The most stable bed he has was probably in Ba Sing Se he probably will just nap anywhere.
He has customer service experience which means he probably uses his customer service voice on his minsters.
Additionally he probably just wanders into to kitchen to get his own snacks and tea because he forgets what servants do.
He probably has no idea why he can’t just chase after an assassin he used to hunt the avatar for Agnis sake why is the captain of the guard demanding he stay in his room he’ll find the guy first (he’s probably right)
Katara probably has a free pass on Eco terrorism because what’s he going to do challenge her, she’ll beat his ass.
If he saw a minster doing something shady he will either invite lady Beifong to detect their BS or commit B&E and look for evidence himself.
He somehow found a baby dragon and raises it.
He will be far to willing to give Kyoshi island anything they want cause he feels bad and Suki scares him.
He randomly insisted on giving some earth kingdom village 100 ostrich horses.
The Avatar will just show up call him Hotman and demand the go on adventures and the Firelord will just dip because he’s been confined to long and has the Zoomies.
He takes far to much advice from Sokka and will genuinely believe if someone doesn’t get Sokkas plans they must be an idiot because Sokka is 16.
Sokka and Zuko also get into a lot of teenage rebellion phases by accident.
Toph just walks in breaks a wall of his palace and demands a field trip that always involves the Firelord having to explain himself to the cops.
He somehow knows every dangerous teen in the world and they all come for tea uninvited.
He has broken into both the NWT and Ba Sing Se.
He has a really well documented facial scar and official portraits but still disappears to be Lee the tea guy like no one knows.
HES SEVENTEEN.

On of the less intuitive things about love, I've found, of any kind, is the importance of needing things.
I didn't realize it until recently, but I've always seen love as something requiring sacrifice, selflessness, patience, and generosity- to ask for nothing is to be the best person I can be, small and quiet and never in the way, always happy and helpful, self-sufficient and present when desired.
It's only as an adult, now, that I'm beginning to see the selfishness of wanting nothing.
I cut my friend's hair in my kitchen the other day. They wanted a trim and I had the skills, so I offered, and was genuinely excited when they stopped hesitating over "bothering me" and took me up on it. It was a peaceful afternoon, and we had tea and chatted for an hour or more.
My brother and I shared popcorn at the movies a while ago. When I came time to pay, I pulled my card out like a wild western sheriff and slapped it on the machine before he could fight me for it first. The satisfaction was delightful.
Someone called me crying on the phone the other day. Kept apologizing for disturbing me at work, talking about how they were bothering me on my lunch break. I was telling the truth when I told them that really, I was flattered and honored and relieved, knowing that if they were hurting I would know, that I didn't have to worry in silence. It felt good to hear them slowly come down, and to know that they knew it would be better soon, and to hear them laugh wetly on the other end. We're getting together for a visit next week.
It's hard to need things, if you've trained yourself not to. It's hard to want things, when you don't know how to want anymore. Trusting people is difficult, and so is relying on them, but I don't know where I'd be without the people who rely on me.
I've heard a lot of people say, "Nobody will love you unless you love yourself". I've had a lot of thoughts about it. It's not right, but it's not wrong, either, I think.
"Nobody will love you unless you love yourself"... I've always taken that to mean, "You will not be lovable until you develop a positive view of yourself as a person".
Now, I think it's sort of inside-out.
"Nobody will love you unless you love yourself"... because nobody can show their love to you in a way that you can accept until you treat yourself kindly, and learn what you need, and what you want, and how to ask for it, and then give that vulnerability away.
Love, for me, is someone I ask for a ride to the airport. Whether they end up doing this or not is irrelevant.
It's not needy, or selfish, or taking up energy. It's giving the gift of being wanted, and needed, and thought of. It's giving someone the security of being part of someone's life.
