Give me Superman with an awful southern accent. Give me Clark Kent sounding like he grew up on a farm (oh wait). Give me Superman the Journalist using y'all and all y'all and ain’t. Basically just give me Superman from Kansas

[bowditch]

And DEFENDING IT.

“No, Lois, it’s not bad English. It’s a descriptive grammar theory and it serves a linguistic function.”

“C'mon, Smallville, are you really defending your use of ain’t?”

“Some of us actually went to class in college. If y'all are gonna give me a hard time about it, I’m gonna fight back.”

[bowditch]

Clark making that “oop” noise when he bumps into inanimate objects.

[batnsons]

But can you imagine Clark being so conditioned to this he bumps into an unmoving Bruce in the Watchtower once, and Bruce just slowly turns to stare at Clark and now it’s Clark’s turn to freeze because he just ‘oop'ed freaking Batman.

Or using ‘ain’t’ once around Bruce and Bruce just slowly goes rigid and stares at him.

“Did you just say ‘ain’t’?”

“Umm… yes?”

“You’re a writer!”

“Yeah, Bruce, and I’m also a farm boy from Kansas. It’s a legitimate word. Just because I don’t write with it doesn’t mean I don’t say it!”

And Bruce can’t even believe the indignity.

He’s thanking her for her criticism because that’s the polite thing to do when being judged for something you are pursuing a career in. She showed her complete and total lack of class and tact by misinterpreting his thanks as an acceptance of a compliment. It put her in her place in a very discreet yet sick as hell way. Basically, he revealed that she is trash in a very polite way.

“This world is for me too, honey. And they have to understand that. I have a right to be here, just like everybody else. See, their problem is: they don’t want you to know about me. Because, first of all, I get too many dicks hard. Simple as that.” – Octavia St. Laurent (March 16, 1964 – May 17, 2009) . Photo: Temperance and Octavia St. Laurent, New York City, 1989. Photo © Chantal Regnault. . Octavia St. Laurent (a.k.a. Heavenly Angel Octavia St. Laurent Manolo Blahnik; a.k.a. Octavia St. Laurent Mizrahi), who was born fifty-three years ago today, was one of the trans icons of New York City’s underground voguing community, brought to the attention of the mainstream by Jennie Livingston’s seminal 1990 documentary “Paris is Burning.” . “I want to be somebody,” Octavia told the world. “I mean, I am somebody. I just want to be a rich somebody.” . Octavia had the distinction of being one of the longest-living “Paris is Burning” subjects, and her presence in the decades after the documentary was as unapologetically fabulous and queer as ever. Among other things, she used her fame—and the consistently-increasing awareness of the film—to speak out about violence, drug addiction, and AIDS in and among queer communities of color. . In her last interview, Octavia was asked what advice she would give to the legendary children of the future. “Live life,” she said. “Live life and do not take anything for granted. Because what you have today can instantly be gone tomorrow. And don’t settle for nothing but the best.” . Octavia St. Laurent died of cancer on May 17, 2009; she was forty-five. #lgbthistory #HavePrideInHistory #OctaviaStLaurent

Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act: ‘Null and Void’

In a victory activists were unsure they’d get, Uganda’s Constitutional Court overturned the country’s draconian Anti-Homosexuality Act today, declaring the anti-LGBT law “null and void” because of a parliamentary technicality in how it was passed.  

The court determined that when members of Parliament passed the law in December 2013, Speaker Rebecca Kadaga had not established quorum — a required minimum number of members present to vote — effectively invalidating the law.

Pray For Peru

This hashtag is trending in twitter at the moment. Why? There’s been unusual rains at the north of the country. Why is it unusual? It is summer time here. Rivers are getting out, rain is getting harder, weird big clouds are on top of the sunniest cities and water and mud are taking over cities destroying it all without mercy. This is real. This is happening. It is terrifying.

[nakedpalette]

Yeah I know we are not France. But we are dying right now

[lovemysub-deactivated20250527]

I don’t really follow hashtags or social media trends, but I’m shocked I haven’t seen this on a major news outlet. Is there anything we can do to help?

[nakedpalette]

Yes. This is the GoFundMe link for one of the cities that’s being affected up north of the country: https://www.gofundme.com/3ihpc7c

Also if you’re local or you know of someone who will come to Peru soon, they’re accepting clothes and food for donations

[lovemysub-deactivated20250527]

Alright guys, y'all know what to do. Donate if you can, but reblog and spread the word either way. Mainstream media here in the States isn’t covering this much if at all. These people need help.

[nakedpalette]

Thank you for spreading the word. Really 😔

[tae-purple]

Pls pray for my country and donate if u can, the situation is horrible

Reblog if you’re part of a hostile nation that’s declared war on Australia

[mycroftrh]

Oh my god though guys you don’t know the best thing!  The best thing is: he’s right.

The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands is a micronation near Australia.  This is their flag:

The Gay Kingdom (as it is colloquially known) was founded in 2004 in protest against Australia’s legal stance against same-sex marriage.

Here are some of their stamps:

They are currently ruled by Emperor Dale I, and their currency is the Pink Dollar.

And, indeed - they declared war on Australia for not recognizing same-sex marriages performed outside the country.  (Second link.)

[sailurmars]

You’re telling me there has been a Gay Island this ENTIRE TIME and I’m only just finding out about it????

[feitanswife]

WHAT

[boneyardchamp]

Your professor will not be happy with you if he says the Stanford Prison Experiment shows human nature and you say it shows the nature of white middle class college-aged boys.

Like he will not be happy at all.

[cannon-fannon]

For real though. That experiment. Scary shit.

[hollowedskin]

This reminds me of a discussion that I read once which said Lord of the Flies would have turned out a hell of a lot differently if it was a private school of young girls (who are expected to be responsible and selfless instead), or a public school where the children weren’t all from an inherently entitled, emotionally stunted social class (studies have shown that people in lower socioeconomic classes show more compassion for others). Or that the same premise with children raised in a different culture than the toxic and opressive British Empire and it’s emphasis on social hierarchy and personal wealth and status. And that what we perceive as the unchangable truth deep inside humanity because of things like Lord of the Flies and the Stanford Prison Experiment, is just the base truths about what happens when you remove any accountabilty controlling one social group with an overwhelming sense of entitlement and an inability to feel compassion.

[lady-feral]

I will always reblog this.

[shinykari]

I just wanna say that the Lord of the Flies was explicitly written about high-class private school boys to make this exact point. Golding wrote Lord of the Flies partially to refute an earlier novel about this same subject: The Coral Island by R.M. Ballantyne. Golding thought it was absolutely absurd that a bunch of privileged little shits would set up some sort of utopia, so his book shows them NOT doing that.

[roscoerackham]

This is also generally true about most psychological experiments.

There’s an experiment called “The Ultimatum Game”. It goes something like this.

Subject A is given an amount of money (Say, $100).

Subject A must offer Subject B some percentage of that money.

If Subject B accepts Subject A’s offer, both get the agreed upon amount of money. If Subject B refuses, no one gets any money.

The most common result was believed to be that people favored 50/50 splits. Anything too low was rejected; people wanted fairness. This was believed to be universal.

And then a researcher went to Peru to do the experiment with members of the indigenous Machiguenga population, and was baffled to find that the results were totally different.

Because, to the Machiguenga, refusing any amount of free money (even an unfair amount) was considered crazy.

So the researcher took his work on the road (to 14 other ‘small scale’ societies and tribes) , and to his shock found the results varied wildly depending on where the test was done. 

In fact, the “universal” result? Was an outlier. 

And that’s the problem. 96% percent of test subjects for psychological research come from 12% of the population. Stuff that we consider to be universal facts of human nature… even things like optical illusions, just… aren’t.

 You can read an article about it here.  But the crux of it is that psychology is plagued with confirmation bias, and people are shaped more by their environment than we realize.
