Hey here is your friendly reminder to not tell your nice boss stuff.

I’m at the executive management level for my very small company and I have 4 people who report directly to me. I am a nice boss. I’m friendly with my employees, I treat them like professional adults, I actively try to create a positive work environment, and I mentor them and make sure they’re advancing in their careers. I do my best to shield them from the rest of management doing stupid shit. My employees like working for me.

The other day one of my employees came to ask if she could change her hours on Mondays. I said yes immediately because it’s helpful for me to know when she’s here and when she’s not, but as long as she gets her work done I don’t care when and where she does it. She then proceeded to tell me that it was so she could attend therapy and like … I will never use this information but … as a general rule don’t fucking do that.

Do not tell your employer shit about your mental or physical health except for the bare minimum needed to request a reasonable accommodation. Even your nice boss can fire you, even your nice boss can unfairly change your working conditions, and even your nice boss at some point is probably going to face pressure from their superiors.

I’m not saying don’t trust your boss with anything ever. I’m just saying that anytime you are in the workplace you need to keep your private information private. You can still have a good relationship with your boss. Your workplace can still be pleasant. But if it ever feels like disclosing private information is required in order to have a good relationship with your boss, please see that as a red flag.

This post got a like out of nowhere and I only vaguely remember writing it and I’m not entirely sure which of my employees inspired it, but it still holds.

i love when parents used to say you’ll understand when you’re an adult and then you become an adult and you’re like ohhh i do understand. i understand that you were a weird fucking cunt. i know this because now i am a weird fucking cunt too. and i still don’t treat kids that way

My father, more times than I can count: "You don't understand, you'll see when you get out into the REAL world."

Me, over 30, in the "real" world for over a decade: ...OH I get it. You and mom! Are FUCKING ASSHOLES!

the role of the person in the passenger seat is not only navigator but secretary as well. you have to type up the drivers messages to random ladies on facebook about cbd cream & google whether that billy joel song was the theme song for that show or not

I’m fond of the idea that BBAU Bruce is initially taken aback by Danny’s hostile snark the first time he hears it.

Which is not to say he doesn’t know Danny’s a bit of a sass meister, period. Just that his usual exposure to Danny’s range of snark is from a lighthearted place. Usually when he’s giving Bruce or Alfred a hard time, but doesn’t actually mean anything out of it. Which his tone and language usually reflect.

It doesn’t consciously occur to him that his kid could use his smart-mouth for violence until it’s already happening and the words are out in the air.

Danny (to someone else): wow. i thought you’d be jailbirding it up with your tax fraud friend. Doesn’t your type travel in herds?

Bruce (somewhere nearby): *record_scratch.wav*

Bruce: hold on—

(The part of his brain that processes everything at mach speed is instantly going “oh this makes sense” moments after the shock hits)

We're coming out swinging but you know what

Whenever I redesign Danny's ghost form in my aus and try to incorporate the trope of "ghosts containing features that symbolize the way they died" into the design, my mind always inevitably wanders to the full extent of injuries his corpse could have sustained.

And, inevitably, since I tend to lean towards "plausible realism", my mind always wanders to how graphic those injuries would be.

Whether its the electricity that kills him or the radiation/plasma of the portal itself, the end result is the same: Danny is hit with enough sheer energy to rip a hole through reality.

His corpse is going to be covered in severe, charred black burns. If we wanna follow the route of high voltage electrocution: hello exposed bone.

That's enough heat to fuse the fabric of his suit to his skin. To steal from a friend: his eyes are gonna pop like grapes. Melt right out of his head.

Melt everything else too!

Danny's corpse could be,,, utterly unrecognizable. And it's as horrifying as it is intriguing.

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Okay so obviously this cant happen in the James Gunn DCU because we have Robert Pattinson already, BUT HEAR ME OUT!!!! Markiplier as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Think about it think about it. Mark has the build, he has the deeper voice, acting. Like. He would be so cool as Bruce Wyane/Batman!!! Me and my Fiance were just randomly existing and I showed them a video and a panel from one of the comics showed up and Bruce looked a decent bit like Mark in that panel. They pointed it out and now were on this little railroad track that im now putting out into the world. They even said he'd be cool voicing an animated batman which i definitely agree with!!

Does anyone else get the vision me amd my fiance are having? Please I need to know we arent insane 😭
