Clark Kent is not a coward, he just hates Superman. The reason he runs off every time disaster occurs is cause he knows Superman will be there soon and he can’t stand the guy.
Clark Kent has to remove himself from the scene to keep from throwing hands at Superman.
if you need binders/breast forms/makeup/etc but don’t want your parents to know, now is the best time to get it.
you can order whatever it is online and when the package comes in if the ask what it is you can say something like “it’s a secret!” or even just sssh them. they’ll assume it’s a present for whatever holiday you celebrate and probably won’t press the issue.
oh my god this is amazing
I normally don’t reblog stuff like this but this is a very important life hack!
make sure you actually buy a present though or else this is all going to fall apart. it doesn’t have to be expensive, e.g. a “best dad” mug, socks, a bath bomb, multi-tool variations of everyday objects, soap, tea, a candle, et cetera.
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately saying that it’s okay to cut out family or it’s okay not to be around family if it’s detrimental to your mental health and it’s great! But also
I’m (South East) Asian it doesn’t work that way
Our culture is centered around family. Missing out on family events is sacrilegious. Putting your parents in a home when they’re old is a sin. Living at home is not an embarrassment. Instead your parents will insist you stay until you’re married (sometimes even after).
Doesn’t mean holidays and other family obligations aren’t difficult and distressing.
So if you’re Asian and have to be around family this holiday season (or any other time, really) remember to take a moment in the bathroom if you need to breathe, message friends who understand, hug the family pet if you have one.
But most of all, being around family, even when they make you want to pull your hair out, is okay too. You’re not weak for not cutting them out of your life.
I’m really glad this anti-Confederate backlash has picked up steam, because we’ve allowed Confederate apologists to completely seize control of Civil War history. The fact that we even think of it in terms of “North vs. South” or “Union vs. Confederacy” is a sign of that influence. It should be “America’s Slaveowner Revolt.” We ask questions like “what if the South won the war”, as if that was remotely possible given their numbers and logistical failures. The Confederacy was barely a government. Within a year of forming there were riots from food shortages. The whole notion that this was between two equally formidable and legitimate sides is a fallacy of the so-called Lost Cause.
This isn’t griping from a history buff by the way, the Lost Cause has been one of America’s chief guardians of white supremacy for 150 years. The Big Lie about states rights affects politics to this day, and always in the context of letting states curtail civil rights that the federal government has guaranteed. Prior to the Civil War, when Northern states tried to push back against fugitive slave laws and make themselves sanctuaries for runaway slaves, the government cracked down hard on them. There was not a peep about states rights on that. We see it happening today. The states rights scolds have not said a word about Jeff Sessions threatening to destroy cities that refuse to hunt undocumented immigrants. Yet somehow the rights of states become sacrosanct when they want to keep gay couples from adopting kids. All of this is relevant to our current situation, and hopefully taking down some statues of (frankly overrated) treasonous generals is just the beginning.
DAMN I never even thought about that. HOW you gonna yell “States Rights Boo Hoo!” AND fight for the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850??
