@oh-tobeafrog Thank You For Inspiring Me With This Galaxy Brain Take On My Two Favorite Marvel Heroes

Hello!

Ace / cupid here!

Reblog if you or someone you know is ace… I’m trying to see something

Gods, the temptation to make a DC RP blog call ‘Cass-The-Cat’ is so strong…

Maybe I just want an excuse to practice Cat anatomy, but shush-

(@bruce-but-kitten may I (kindy) steal your idea from you?)

The list of his lovers is longer than some of the descriptions and history behind other gods on Wikipedia

Slutshaming women is not ok Slutshaming Alexander Hamilton is totally ok Tumblr logic

YOU THINK I’M JOKING BUT I’M DEAD SERIOUS

Stop making me cry tumblr, I’m begging you-

Sometimes Percy forgets he and Jason come from too different worlds.

Percy: Easy Jason, it's alright if you mess up.

Jason: No, it's alright if you mess up. If I mess up I've failed, and I fail I might as well be dead.

Percy: I think you're taking this a bit too far.

Jason: Percy you could trip over your own feet and at least five people would stop to help you up. When you fall people catch you.

Percy: What about you?

Jason: What about me? If I did that I'd be thrown away like a used rag.

Percy: Jase that's not true.

Jason: Your camp would never think to replace you. Your friends would scour the earth and the underworld to find you.

Percy: They didn't look for you?

Jason: No, they replaced me with you. Your camp loves you for who you are. If I'm not the perfect son of Jupiter...Than I might as well not exist at all.

We need more teachers like this, I live in the hellhole of Florida and we used to have GSA (Gender sexuality Alliance) clubs at all of the middle and high schools I’ve been to . But now there gone due to the don’t say gay bill, and a few of my friends had lost a simple yet extremely important support group of teachers who were LGBT and now only have our small friend group.

My teacher because of this bill can’t even show us photos of her girlfriend without the risk of being fired and tried for showing ‘pornography’ to kids.

The don’t say gay bill is fucking stupid, and it did more harm than good for the students relaying on school to feel normal because of their parents being homophobic or transphobic.

Then they say it was to protect us, like being trans or gay was an illness.

(Disclaimer: some information about the law may be wrong, but the effects I’ve experienced aren’t. And thanks for reading this rant, I needed to get it off my chest.)

Keep in mind I’m a cis woman writing this.

So I was debating posting this but I think it needs to be said.

So I’m a student teacher and this week, we started at a new school district. Now I won’t presume to begin to pretend that I know what everyone’s political ideologies are in this school district but keep in mind that it’s in rural New York State and rural New York State tends to run red. Not as red as some other places but definitely not blue and not even really purple. 

Anyway yesterday was my first ever professional development day. So I’m all dressed up, introducing myself to other teachers, and I shake hands with the superintendent who seems like a really nice guy.

And about halfway through the day, he goes up to the front of the theater and he starts talking about the best ways to talk to and help transgender/nonbinary students. It’s the basic things we all learn in our education classes. And you can tell that he’s a bit uncomfortable and so are some of the teachers. And at last, he stops and says, “Folks, I have to be honest. My father is rolling in his grave right now.”

And I’m in the back like, “Oh no.”

And so he pauses again and then he starts implying that he was raised to have a very negative opinion on the transgender community. And he continues to say that he had to unlearn a lot in the past few decades and then he admitted that he still doesn’t get it. He outright admitted that he personally doesn’t understand how someone comes to the conclusion that they’re not their assigned gender. And he admits that of course he doesn’t because he’s never had to go through that.

Another pause.

And then he says, “But I don’t have to get it.”

The theater fills with whispers and then he says [and I’m paraphrasing here], “I don’t have to get it. I don’t even have to agree with it. Because it doesn’t matter what I think or what I feel or what my beliefs are. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that I respect that student and I respect their choice.”

And then he reminded the teachers of every single policy that the school district follows from letting any student use their bathroom of choice to changing the students’ names per the students’ requests to not telling the parents anything unless the student gives consent to do so.

And at the end, he brought it back by saying, “My father just rolled in his grave again. But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what you think, it doesn’t matter what you believe, because it’s not about you. It’s about your kids. And you need to love your kids! Love your kids! Love your kids!”

Long story short, this looks like it’s going to be a good placement.

Color theory still makes no sense to me-

I keep seeing gold and white nightwing and I keep thinking about the color theory dress.

Color theory is a bit funky. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nonbinaries, y'all NEED to pick different names. I have four friends named Crow and it's getting really confusing

Ah yes, the peaceful noise of the city :)
