Something that definitely happened during Young Justice:
Kon, trying to be angsty: You just donāt understand Rob, Iām a clone, Iāll never be anything other than that!
Tim: Yours not a clone, youāre a test tube baby.
Kon: What?
Tim: You have Superman and Lex Luthorās DNA, Youāre biologically their kid, a clone is the exact copy of oneās DNA.
Kon: ā¦
Kon: IM GONNA GO BALD?!
Prompt for Tomione : āThere are no weak people Tom, just powerless one and they would become evil if you gave them powerā

Sextilis .III.CCXXIV
My Dearest Hermione,
There are no words to describe the sickness that you have caused to stir within me. When I think of you I turn feverish and my stomach heaves.
I wish often that I never had laid eyes upon you.
You come from nothing. Your blood not blessed by the Gods like mine is.
You are nothing but a heathen, brought to the empire by a kind master, a man much kinder then I.
I wish that you could understand the torture your smile brings to me, how it burns me from the inside.
No, I wish that you had never come to my attention.
Now that I have met you, that you have infected my blood with your poisoness words and smile, I must have you.
I fear if I do not then the plague you have unleashed upon me will eat me alive.
This letter is to summon you, for hence forth you will be mine.
Signed,Ā
Ubi Sunt Tom Imperatoris

shout out to me in 5 yearsā¦hope shes doing something cool iām rooting for her
This is one of those things where I understand the spirit of the point she is trying to make, but I feel like it undermines the efforts for everyone's sexual health to be taken seriously.
Viagra is important healthcare. Just like abortion and hormones and hysterectomies and vasectomies and any number of things us humans need for our reproductive and sexual needs. And Viagra isn't just for men. Some women take it (off label) and trans folks do as well.
I think the larger issue is that Viagra is given priority over other kinds of sexual healthcare. We prioritize men's boners before everything else. But I don't want to take Viagra away from anyone. There is money for medication and bridges.
I want everyone else to have as easy of a time getting their healthcare needs met as men do getting Viagra.
And safe bridges.
We can do both.
Is 55F/12.8C jacket weather?
No! That is a delightful temp to wear short sleeves!
Yes. I need a jacket and a hot choccy.
Third thing. (Explain in the tags.)
10-20 Ā°C is where whatever you want weather. Below 10 you need a jacket above a 20 it starts to be uncomfortable.
But at 12 you can comfortably wear shorts and a tank top. 12 is wear a jacket if it goes with the outfit.
Did I meme right?
fun fact! did you know that you can gain extra āforbidden timeā by staying up late in the night? but Watch Out
Shit this is great! You can get so much done if you don't sleep!
THE CONSEQUENCES
personally i love strikes. love unions. love protests. big fan all around!!
Selena stalking the bats because well... Batcat reasons
Spots another stalker, much smaller with camera
Is interrupted by a rouge deciding to recreate Godzilla but in Gotham and without the monster.
Ends up scooping the small child up and bunkering down while the city goes to shit.
The smaller stalker is... A strange child. Very well mannered, very aware of how much of her space how much of her time he is taking up. Very apologetic about everything.
It takes longer than it should for her to remember that children typically have parents. And that while the kid was fine with her assuming he was a street kid he had a very expensive photography kit. And not nearly enough meat on his bones.
It takes just a little and then he's opening up, but not really he thinks he's trying to convince her to let him walk home alone. My parents think I'm very self sufficient, no of course I don't have a nanny I'm not a child he very much is a child, their in Egypt they don't keep up with the news, well I guess you would be interested in the jade cat l.
So he agrees to let her drive him home.
She makes a detour, tells him to play along. Introduces him as her son, to batman... Not that he's supposed to know Mr. Wayne is batman.
He doesn't break character, neither of his "parents" are blood type O... And doing a field blood transfusion... Is going to raise some questions.
The union busting firms are scared
As a fine dining cook, I found work in a union workplace around a year ago. My 40 hours a week are guaranteed except for Jan/feb/mar when thereās not enough customers, I get paid almost twice what I did at any other restaurant, if I work overtime, (more than 8 hours in one day, or more than 40 in a week), I actually get overtime pay, (and itās 1.5x my normal rate!). I get holiday pay, and in addition I get to either bank or pay out my holidays if I work those days, (either a paid day off when I want it, in addition to the holiday pay, or I get paid an addāl 8 hours at 1.5x that week). I also get two floating holidays, 4 paid random sick days, 2 paid family sick days, and 4 paid ādoctorās noteā sick days, (paid out by our health insurance), as well as general allowance to take as many unpaid sick days as I want without worrying for my job security. (Iāve been told that taking multiple months off is where we start to be concerned about abuse, so if I want to do that, I can go through our leave of absence procedures instead, where Iām allowed three 2-week periods a year generally for whatever reason I want, (If my manager wants to disagree, he has to get the union presidentās approval), and after that itās up to my manager to decide if heāll accept them). I get two weeks of paid vacation time a year, and an addāl week per year for every 5 years I work there. We get our legally mandated breaks, which, I know that sounds like a low bar, but taking anything other than a smoke break in a kitchen?!?! Unheard of! I get two 15ā²s and a lunch every shift! I get to sitdown and rest my legs and not get flak for it! I get a bonus at the end of the year, thereās official procedures for if my manager isnāt happy with me or wants to get rid of me, (three meetings, during which my union representative has to be present), (and getting rid of my classification doesnāt work, thereās rules for how someone ābumpsā other people if classifications are gotten rid of), and severance pay for when full-time employees that are downsized out of the company, thereās a pension plan, like . . . Guys, I have a 40-page handbook which details all of the rights my union has won me, and believe me, Iāve never had any of these at any prior workplace. And you know what my union dues are? $4 a paycheck. Of course Iām going to pay my union dues for all of those benefits.
Reblogging for this incredibly thorough explanation of what it's like to actually have a contract in place at a union workplace. I reblog a fair number of posts about how people should organize, but if you're like me, you might not know exactly what that can get you until you've actually gone through the process. Every contract is different because you bargain for what makes sense for your particular workplace, and every few years you re-negotiate with the employer to improve things in the next contract, but some things (like the right to have union representation when you talk to your boss about leave or discipline) are universal.
It's worth every penny of your dues, I promise.
The restaurant industry needs more unions and we need to pay waitstaff and remove tipping. $2.15 an hour is in sane.
here's my hot take about my generation and people younger than me (I'm 22 years old)
The reason current teenagers and people in their really early 20s are conservative on accident and have such shitty takes on the internet is because our generation was much more sheltered than previous generations and because we were raised to be ok with orwellian servailence and that is 100% the fault of our parents, Reagan Era kidnapping panics, and the rise of technology all coming together to prevent us from doing the sketchy shit that sends parents into panic mode but which is also completely fundemental to childhood development. If your parents had even a crumb of money to their name and even a shred of free time they started tracking your phone as soon as it was possible to. I did not experience this because my parents are actively trying to live like it's the 1990s and still have not gotten cell phones of their own, and did not let me have one until I was 18 years old and it was no longer their choice, but literally over half of my friends in middle and high school had their phones tracked by their parents at some point or other, and we would occasionally find this out, not because their parents told them, but when we were trying to do the aforementioned sketchy shit and their parent's car would pull up. And I would, like a reasonable person after finding this out, encourage my friends to just leave their phones at home, and their response would be "What if I get kidnapped" or "My parents are just trying to keep me safe"
This in my estimation has lead to a combination of kids being terminally online because they do have internet access and are better at deleting search history than their parents think they are, but don't have the freedom to go out and do shit without their parents' knowledge or consent, so they have the most privacy from the people who control their lives while they're on the internet, and kids not having the real world experiences they should have, not knowing how to connect with other people irl, not feeling comfortable leaving the house because of the horror story lies their parents told them to make them ok with the surveillance they were inflicting on their kids. Kids these days are growing up in the fucking panopticon when they should be out in the woods playing with knives or stealing cigarettes from their older sibling and going out to an empty parking lot to smoke them or whatever and that shit is sticking with them into adulthood. Things that were "tee hee we could get in trouble isn't this so fun and daring" in the 1990s and 2000s have become in the 2010s and 2020s things that are "If I do that without texting my parents some sort of lie to excuse where my location is my parent's car will pull up and I will get grounded for the next two weeks."
Like even when I was 19 I had a 16 year old friend who would volunteer their time at a food shelf and that's how we knew each other. We would talk about dungeons and dragons together, and the game store was 4 blocks from the food shelf. One day we left the food shelf earlier than they had told their parents they would and they got punished for that. We were literally just going to look at dungeons and dragons miniatures and dice, which was self evident if you could see where we started and how far we walked and where too. I have to assume that this isn't uncommon. It's wrong, but it's not uncommon.
Ok it has become apparent to me that people do not understand what I mean by conservative on accident.
Nobody my age is voting republican. Let's be clear on that. With the exception of a small minority of gamer gaters and people who were raised in actual cults most people my age are either commies or good liberals who votes straight blue down the ticket. This is because of the greta thunberg effect. We're all afraid of dying of thirst because there's no water anymore at the age of 35. Wealthy white children are no longer safe with the republican party which has become less of a political party and more of a death cult, and white children are less wealthy than they used to be (I specify white because POC by in large never voted for the party of the southern strategy for obvious reasons). We as a generation are so insanely blue that they're trying to raise the voting age to 25 about it.
This liberalism and party affiliation doesn't preclude them from being conservative on accident. What I mean by that is... Well
No kink at pride is a great example. The assumption that pride should exist at all makes them think that they're immune to conservative logic but they're still trying to enforce a dominant ideology onto a minority group. That person who made the tweet about how you shouldn't have sex in houses where there are children in the other room and if you can't avoid it you're a sex addict. That's a great example of like straight up puritanism coming out of the mouth of someone who proports themselves to be a leftist
If you ever see a discourse that feels like an obvious psyop as an adult and you can't understand why these supposed leftist youths are falling for it it's because that kid has never had sex in the woods and had to try to buy plan b under their parent's nose. My generation is dumb about sex. We're dumb about drugs. We're dumb about theft. We moralize literally everything. We're so dumb about stranger danger that we never learned how to community organize so while the vast vast majority of us are crushed by existential dread about debt and climate change but we never do anything about it because we just don't know how to organize because we're raised to see everyone else as a threat and we never went to or organized parties as teens because our parents would always know and stop us.
They managed to invent a generation that hates capitalism but fully buys into individualism and who is supportive of queer people and way less monogamous than previous generations but who still buys into the base assumptions of the nuclear family and thinks sex is evil. The levels of politics going on here are way weirder and stupider and more complicated than "young people vote republican and watch Fox news"
I've never seen anybody explain it so well
will say, weird that everyone thinks Tim would have an actual splenectomy scar?? like if weāre thinking traditional surgery scars in western medicine, heās almost definitely got a laparotomy scar. Timās bleeding out on the table, thereās no way they had time to do scans to identify which organs got damaged or make any sort of accurate external assessment; that kind of situation, youāre just gonna cut the whole abdomen open bc how else are you even gonna know what needs to be fixed/removed?? so Tim probably has a semi-neat little line down his belly once heās all healed up, which coincidentally is a vague enough surgery scar that he can tell All Sorts of lies about it, which I think he would do purely for the fun of it.
[tim voice] oh yeah that's my autopsy scar. they didn't even cut me open the right way haha
With ao3 being ddosed, it's a great reminder why it exists in the first place.
To allow people to write or read whatever they want without fear of deletion.
After the horrors of strikethrough and boldthrough we're lucky to have such a robust site.
To younger fans: you think the last 24 hours has sucked? Imagine huge swaths of fanworks disappearing all at once, permanently.
legit as someone who works in tech i cannot IMAGINE being one of the tech volunteers for ao3 and combatting this ddos attack FOR FREE. ALL. DAY. LONG. definitely donating to ao3 this year when this is all over and the site is back up and running.
