Bruce Wayne’s and Clark Kent’s public personas dating is literally Barbie and Ken.

Bruce is everything, doing extremes sports, living in the dream house (aka Wayne Mansion), has lots of cars, has his own company, has a huge family, a bunch of animals etc etc etc

And Clark… he’s just Ken

How dare you hide this in the tags!

A baby in the family - Jason Todd x Fem!Reader

Synopsis : The entire family is in awe faced with Jason’s daughter. Your baby girl is only a few months old, and already has an army at her feet. 

Wanted to write Jason with a baby, and here I am haha. So, let’s go for some cute fluff :). Hope you’ll like this :

BRUCE

“I’m going to be honest here, I do not know how to react.” Jason said, absolutely dumbfounded by the scenes unfolding in front of him. 

And to be fair ? You completely understood. 

After all, it wasn’t every day that you’d see THE Batman cry… 

Even rarer were the occasion in which he cried out of happiness. Bruce was pretty sure he could count on one hand the amount of times he felt so happy, tears welled up in his eyes. 

But right now, as Jason just told him : “So long story short, you’re going to be a grandpa soon”, he couldn’t help himself. He just stared at his son, and the corner of his eyes got wet as if on their own. 

Jason Todd. His son. 

The one he lost so many years ago, and only got back since a short while. The one who’s death shattered him, changed him, made him feel like happiness truly was out of his reach. That boy he adopted so long ago, was going to be a dad himself ? Oh and when he said : “you’re going to be a grandpa soon”, the spark in his eyes, the obvious happiness he felt, how far “Red Hood” went on the path of recovery…

How else could Bruce react, but to cry because he just felt overjoyed ?

Because if there was one person in this entire world, to Batman’s eyes, who truly deserved happiness, love, and a bright future…It was his son Jason. 

Thats... Actually not a bad idea? Like obviously not everyone owns a tent but it isn't terribly hard to get your hands on a cheap one (atleast in the us). The weather rating on tents has more to do with how they withstand the elements (how wet can they get) than how insulated they are. You probably wouldn't want one that's mostly mesh, but otherwise just about any tent will sleep really warm, especially with several people in it. Might be cold when you go to bed. But it should warm up fast.

Many of these climate change crazy weather tips seem to be pretty ineffective or of limited use, but this one seems like an actual good idea to me.

Beyond Walmart, google maps outdoor or sport gear. Most of those will have some sort of cheap tent, though I would avoid REI as they really only carry more expensive options.

This is actually largely the original idea behind four-poster beds. Castles are a bugger to heat, especially stone ones. But if your bed has its own roof and tapestries that hang down on all four sides, you basically have a tiny room with woolen walls.

Yeah, I was gonna say, canopied beds actually work like this.

Other options, if you don’t want to buy a tent, include tarps, emergency blankets, or quilts suspended over the bed from the ceiling like a tent - you want something that will keep your heat in a smaller area, rather than out in the whole room. if you’re only one person, sleeping in your closet or potentially a bathtub with a blanket over it will help (but only if your bathtub is well-insulated or you put down lots of insulation inside - otherwise you’ll lose heat through the bathtub). Put your pillowfort construction skills to use.

The idea is to reduce the amount of space that your body heat is trying to fill, and then trap that heat in that smaller space. More people produce more heat, so getting everyone in the fam into that smaller space is even better - include pets if possible (pets, small children, and the elderly produce less heat on their own, and will be really vulnerable to the cold if left alone).

Depending on how permeable your bed-tent is, you might want to leave an air-space at the bottom of the walls - carbon monoxide is heavier than air, so it will sink, and the gap will let it escape (along with some heat, but better than suffocating). Not a concern in a tent, which has mesh for a reason, but if you’re using something more air-tight like plastic sheeting or an emergency blanket, it could be a concern.

[Image description: a social media post with author and date cropped out: "Tip for those who don't have heat. Get a tent and place it on your bed. Cover it with 1 or 2 blankets for insulation. This kept our family warm when the temps dropped to 40 in the room but inside the tent it was 80 degrees. We used a $20 tent from Walmart that has been sitting in my garage since last year. If you have one and don't have power I recommend doing this or buying one because who knows how long you will have power for. The kids had a blast and went to sleep warm and comfy. Stay safe everyone. #TexasStrong" Below is a photo of two children asleep in a tent on a bed. Description ends]

For those in the UK and Europe, who may not be able to afford heating this winter, and don’t do Fahrenheit, the temperatures mentioned translate to 5C and 27C.

In case you’re uninitiated:

These are the current female volleyball uniforms

The Norwegian team on the left got fined a ridiculous amount of money for wearing shorts to the games

When you compare the men and women, it becomes very clear how sexist the uniforms are.

Omg I’m finally done. This took a while, but I don’t regret it <3 I love how things turned out and I learned a lot about backs.

I’m noticing I put way more detail into shiro. Curse my learning as I went!

Secret cinema found beneath Paris.
In September 2004, French police discovered a hidden chamber in the catacombs under Paris. It contained a full-sized movie screen, projection equipment, a bar, a pressure cooker for making couscous, a professionally installed electricity system, and at least three phone lines. Movies ranged from 1950s noir classics to recent thrillers.
When the police returned three days later, the phone and power lines had been cut and there was a note on the floor: “Do not try to find us.” (via)

SECRET, MILDLY THREATENING UNDERGROUND COUSCOUS CINEMA

I WANNA GO

LET ME JOIN YOUR KIND, UNDERGROUND MOVIE PEOPLE

nO YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS ENTIRE CINEMA WAS HIDDEN BEHIND AN UNDER CONSTRUCTION SIGN THAT LEAD TO A CHECK-IN DISK WITH A FULL CCTV HOOKUP THAT WOULD TURN ON AND RECORD ANY UNREGISTERED VISITORS. AND IF SOMEONE SNUCK IN? A TAPE OF BARKING SECURITY DOGS WOULD BEGIN TO PLAY. 

BEYOND THE CRAZY FRONT DESK AND THE MOVIE THEATER, THERE WAS A STOCKED BAR AND TABLES AND CHAIRS, MEANING THAT AFTER CATCHING A FLICK IN AN ILLEGAL PARISIAN CATACOMB THEATER, YOU COULD THEN EAT COUSCOUS AND SIP A COCKTAIL NEXT DOOR. THERE WAS A PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICITY SYSTEM SET UP, AND AT LEAST 3 WORKING PHONE LINES. THIS SHIT WAS LIKE A BOND VILLAIN. 

BETTER YET? IT WAS RUMORED THAT THE PLACE WAS SET UP BY THE UNDERGROUND FRENCH ART GANG UX “Urban eXperiment”, WHO NAVIGATES THROUGH THE PARISIAN UNDERGROUNDS AND ILLEGALLY RESTORES ABANDONED WORKS OF ART, ALONG WITH HOLDING FILM FESTIVALS IN THE BASEMENTS OF GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS. THEY EVEN RELEASED A SHORT FILM ABOUT THEIR WORK RESTORING THE ICONIC PANTHEON CLOCK OVER THE COURSE OF ONE YEAR. NO ONE SUSPECTED THEIR INVOLVEMENT, UNTIL THE CLOCK BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN AFTER 60 YEARS OF RUSTING.

IF YOU DON’T THINK CATACOMBS AND THE PEOPLE WHO HANG OUT IN THEM ARE SOME OF THE COOLEST FUCKING THINGS IN THE WORLD THEN I IMPLORE YOU TO EAT SOME COUSCOUS AND RECONSIDER.

UNDERGROUND FRENCH ART GANG

just because it “fits” doesnt mean its comfortable or sustainable stopppppppp this shit

There are two main factors at play when someone says that a condom is too small: (1) the band size is too small & (2) the condom is not sustainable

The band is at the base of the condom. It’s latex is made thicker here than the shaft and is, therefore, less elastic. The band keeps the condom secure so it does not come off mid-insertion and so penial fluids do not leak from the condom. To do this, the band has to keep a very tight grip on the base of the penis. This is the main complaint from people using condoms too small for them. The shaft’s plastic can stretch comfortably, but the band is not so lenient and uncomfortably or painfully squeezes the base of the penis.

Condoms in use experience a lot of friction. For a condom’s shaft or band to be stretched farther than it was intended weakens the latex. The band and shaft are then at risk of being broken from the friction. It fitting does not mean it is sustainable.

If your partner says a condom is too small, believe them and cease from doing anything that requires a condom. If your partner says a condom is too small but is trying to pressure you into unprotected sex, kick them out the door. 

Thaaaank you please read the above they make large and XXL condoms for a reason and it’s not to stoke men’s egos

A former… friend suggested I try a size or two larger, and yes, they do work.

Yep. At first, I thought that condoms were supposed to be that tight. I’d seen those “condoms can fit on a two liter bottle so quit your complaining,” I had no basis for comparison because dudes don’t talk about that shit, and no one wants to be that “HURR HURR GUESS I NEED A MAGNUM XL” guy.

Now wear that condom on your arm for a while. Ten minutes at least. Still got sensation in your arm?

One of the many failures of sex ed in this country is the notion that there’s only two types of condom, “fits everyone except those elephant-trunk-cock freaks” and “for elephant-trunk-cock freaks or lying braggarts” (and yes, there’s implicit shame in the idea of people needing non-”regular”-sized condoms and the genesis for such is pretty likely rooted in some really nasty viewpoints about certain groups of people but I’m digressing).

But penises come in a LOT of dimensions, and not all of them fit right in a “normal” condom. You don’t need to have a monster down there for a condom to be legitimately painful and/or break mid-act. This can leave a lot of people legitimately unawares that it doesn’t have to be like this. (I was, early on.)

Condom too tight? That’s a real problem for the reasons pointed out above. But it’s a solvable one at most drug stores, which generally have a broader (ha ha) selection than your Walmarts or Targets. Or suck it up (ha ha) and go to an “adult boutique” (a proper one) where they’re likely to have even more options and let’s be real here the people working at these aren’t gonna give you Looks over condom selection. Or shop at said boutiques online if you REALLY need to avoid the in-person thing.

And if you think you’re gonna be doing things requiring condoms, HAVE YOUR OWN. Yes, even if you personally don’t have a penis. Buy a box of large-size as well just in case.

And don’t let anyone give you guff over it, and don’t let anyone pressure you into unprotected sex because of condom size.

For the record, even if you’re doing things that don’t involve a penis at all, condoms are good to have around. They make great dental dams on the fly, keep toys clean, and keep body parts clean if your partner is using their hands. :) Also, keep some non-latex ones around in case you or your partner has a latex allergy. Trust me, there are few places worse to have that allergic reaction. o_o

Here! Here is a condom size chart!!! There are probably! Others! You can check!!! So you can be comfortable when getting up to shenanigans. Because condoms that don’t fit are sooo uncomfortable and also a safety risk. A properly sized condom can really help improve sensation in the person with the penis.

I am so happy to be able to help! Condoms are so great!

I may be asexual, but this is for my followers who are not

Aaand this is why we need better Sex-Ed courses in schools. Stay safe kiddos!

Be careful princess  🌸

I just love that multiple people not only though “the black one is a princess and those are her bodyguards” but also came to the conclusion “they’re also, obviously, samurai.”

Roe being overturned is really not a good time to be like “well we voted in Democrats and they didn’t fix it!!1!!”

First of all, there are not nearly enough progressive Democrats in the Senate to reasonably expect legislation like this to pass without overturning the filibuster, and not enough candidates who favored overturning the filibuster made it into the Senate. We barely have a majority at all, nothing close to the 2/3 we would need without ending the filibuster. So there’s that.

Second, it’s a bad time to make this argument because voting literally absolutely could have prevented this outcome. 100%, without a doubt, if the 2016 election had ended differently, we would not be here today.

Third, there’s no reason you can’t protest and organize and volunteer and donate AND vote. Even if you’re not convinced, it can’t hurt. Even if your candidate doesn’t win (!), minds are changed every time a progressive campaign gains traction. Even if you can only chip away at a Republican majority in a red state, over time it makes a difference. (Please see: The state of Georgia.)

Finally, there’s no reason to reasonably expect anything to change if you don’t vote for pro-choice progressive candidates at every level of government. Staying home is the one way to guarantee Republicans win and nothing changes.

TLDR; do all the other stuff. But also vote.

If in five years tumblr decides that The Owl House was A Bad Show, Actually because of problems that were directly caused by a homophobic studio cutting them off at the knees, I'm going to scream.

Legend of Korra got attacked because Korra and Asami "only held hands in the last shot," despite the uphill battle the writers waged against Nickelodeon to give us even that much.

Steven Universe's final season gets remembered in the most bad-faith way possible because the crew risked everything to get the first-ever queer wedding in a kids' show, and got penalized by the network because of it.

Adventure Time gets panned for "waiting until the very end" to make Bubblegum and Marceline canon, despite the fact that they couldn't get the network to allow it until after the wedding in Steven Universe (hey! look at that! STEVEN UNIVERSE BEING IMPORTANT TO OTHER SAPPHIC SHIPS GOING CANON, fancy that!).

She-Ra gets accused constantly of being "toxic representation" despite the sheer number of queer people who fought tooth and fucking nail to get it to happen at all and put their entire soul into representing themselves honestly.

The Owl House crew has directly cited Steven Universe and She-Ra for paving the way. Lumity would have never fucking happened without the milestones made by others who came before.

I am begging people to learn about the history of queer representation in television, and I am begging people to stop holding queer media to infinitely higher standards than any other type of media.

We're only as far as we are in representation because of the fight put up so baby steps could be taken so that future shows can run. You can't just passively demand media to step up, it has to be fought for. Like every other struggle the LGBTQA+ community has faced.

I must have /my/ background noise at all times, but background noise I can’t control is Bad Actually

When I am working, I need background music or podcasts to keep going. When I’m trying to sleep, if it’s not white noise or silence and I hear TV, I go batshit crazy.
