Aliens have captured you, and placed you in one of their nature preserves. However, they have sorely miscalculated on two issues: The amount of calories needed to keep a persistence predator sated, and the lethality/brutality of a hangry human.

i do think that one of the worst things “activist” spaces on the internet ever did was convince young marginalized people that individual people, complete strangers, were their oppressors. no, matt from chemistry class isn’t personally oppressing you because he’s a guy, that old lady at the bank isn’t personally oppressing you because she’s cis, your waiter isn’t personally oppressing you because they’re white. individuals can and do contribute to systems of oppression. but seeing random individuals you encounter in your daily life as your oppressors will do nothing but trick you into punching laterally or punching down because you think it’s “empowering.” you might get a momentary rush of endorphins from snapping at the male cashier bc #menaretrashuwu but all you’re doing is being shitty to a random guy making poverty wages.

i saw a tik tok the other day that like perfectly described this phenomenon, how gen z (and some young millennials too tbh) pushes for systemic justice and equality, but refuses to give that on an interpersonal level, and like. y’all. you simply cannot achieve systemic change if you’re not also working toward interpersonal change. you will do more for your own liberation by treating others with sensible patience and kindness than you will pushing this toxic individualist narrative of “i don’t owe anyone anything and i get to act however i want to people i view as my oppressor.” we need class solidarity now more than ever.

I made a Spiderman!Enid AU thread on Twitter so I drew it lmfao

Her name is WolfSpider (duh) and her costume is BLINDING and she owns her own fan blog where she takes her own pictures ala the OG Peter Parker

Wednesday found out her secret identity the literal first day they became roommates and for the longest time didn’t say anything because she found it fascinating how someone so BAD at keeping their identity a secret could still REMAIN a secret.

Later on when the reveal happened (and subsequent confession) Wednesday would help Enid track down whatever the next villains plan was and they become an unstoppable due

Metropolis, on average, is likely to have much higher than average rent than Gotham. Reporters, non tv ones esp., don’t get paid that much these days with the gradual decline of print media. Probably lower than average for someone aiming to keep a low profile.

My point is, that rent in metropolis sucks ass and Clark just starting at the daily planet and running off to be superman all the time, is just. having an awful fucking time, because to be superman he can’t have roommates. He probably ends up doing some part time jobs with odd hours to keep his secret.

And most people also don’t know that superman HAS a secret identity in the early days and think he just. full time lives at the north pole.

So when the jla starts, no one KNOWS he has secret identity and Clark isn’t particularly keen on exposing it so he just. keeps coming up with bullshit ass excuses why he is randomly offline sometimes.

FLASH : Hey supes, why weren’t you at the meeting yesterday-

GREEN LANTERN : Got a hot date?

CLARK : I was, uh. Preparing for my hibernation.

 AQUAMAN : Your fucking WHAT

MARTIAN MANHUNTER, FULLY AWARE THAT CLARK IS MAKING BULLSHIT UP : Many species do such things-

FLASH : Alien species??

WONDER WOMAN, ASLO AWARE THAT HE’S LYING : Flash, Kal is also an alien, no matter how similar to humans he may look.

WONDER WOMAN : Kal, If there is anything we can do to assist-

CLARK : No, No, No it’s, it’s fine, it’s not a big deal-

BATMAN, AWARE OF HIS SECRET IDENTITY : It IS a big deal, superman. If one of our strongest is to be out of commission for an extended period of time-

CLARK : Oh, I won’t- We, we do it in shifts.

WONDER WOMAN : Is that so, Kal?

CLARK : Yeah, h. haha. 

Smash cut to a few years later-

KARA : YOU TOLD THEM WE DO WHAT

CLARK : I PANICKED OK?

Diana and Bruce never let him live this down btw.

Health and ability is mostly about luck. It's not a direct consequence of making either good or bad choices. You can't always avoid disability by making the right choices, and we need to kill the widespread assumption that you can. Because if you think health and ability is fully within people's control, then you will assume that disabled people MUST be doing something wrong and/or that they are failing to do enough. And that just isn't true. This world isn't fair like that. People who do everything right can be severely disabled for life, just like people who never cared for their health can be fully abled for 85 years. Of course habits and lifestyle can affect health in some capacity, but it's mostly a game of luck and chance
