can "activists" please stop trying to fuck with the empty frames at the Gardner museum. this is the second time the museum has had to close early to keep that from happening
like. first of all, the art museum climate protests that have happened so far piss me off despite the fact that I agree with their overall goals, because the messages in interviews all boil down to "how DARE you VALUE ART when BAD THINGS ARE HAPPENING, ordinary museum-goer?!" but at least they've taken pains to not actually damage anything important (throwing soup on modern, sealed cases or glass barriers instead of the art itself, etc.)
the frames at the Gardner? are art in their own right. they are mostly very old and made by often-unacknowledged craftsmen who were incredibly talented. they're not the same as a modern barrier. AND they're there as a reminder of a time when some jerks stole art from the public so rich assholes could wall it up in private collections so only they got to enjoy it
like go puncture a CEO's tires or something that actually reaches the people responsible for this mess instead of ordinary humans (who probably already agree with you!) just trying to do the very Human Thing of appreciating art
EDIT: I double-checked, and last time their Thing was "why are people still talking about the Gardner heist, but NOBODY is talking about biodiversity loss?!?!?!"
which is just.
they are? just not usually in the same breath as an unsolved art theft case?

Stephanie Brown and Dick Grayson: I Am Going To Be A Good Parent To Pass On The Good Parts Of My Tumultuous Childhood/Give Someone Else What I Didn't Have Growing Up
Vs
Damian Wayne and Cassandra Cain: You Could Not Pay Me To Be A Parent For Fear I Would Continue The Cycle Of Violence
#dc comics#stephanie brown#dick grayson#damian wayne#cassandra cain#ramblings of a lunatic#don't ask me about tim jason or duke idk what's going on there#Tim can't even make it to college unimpeded his ass is NOT entering fatherhood#you could do something really interesting with Jason as a father but it'd either have to go hard into the 'jason healing' route-#-or the complete opposite direction and go full on 'repeating the cycle of violence' fucked up#and either way it's gonna be divisive#i recently found out (bc i skipped batman and the outsiders) that duke's dad is some kind of immortal entity???? what in the fresh hell#I'm not saying it can't be cool I'm saying I'm. so goddman surprised it's never brought up by ANYONE#i know duke doesn't get his flowers in fandom but SERIOUSLY. WHAT?#ngl i can't say for sure that i don't like it bc i haven't seen the execution but. instinctually i prefer his og backstory#it just felt more grounded and linked to his setting? his whole thing is being the light and pushing batmans message further-#which is already hard for some writers to work w bc depending on interpretation that's the territory of like. 5 other guys in batfam#but duke does it in his own way with the whole working the dayshift angle. idk am i the only one hung up on the eldritch daddy thing?#bc i simply can't imagine the thought process behind that#anyway I've been thinking about the bit in robin 2021 where damian says he's never having kids. he's so real for that#he loves both his parents deeply and that series made that clear but MAN he is not passing on all this mental illness to anyone#and then i thought about how badly steph wanted to be a mom even as a teenager despite her own shitty parents#how she wanted to give someone else more than she had growing up (HOPE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A THEME FOR STEPH LISTEN TO ME)#and she ultimately gave her kid up bc she knew she couldn't give that to them at the time#oouughhhh. then i just figured that dick and cass are roughly the same in their estimation of parenthood#cass had a horrifically abusive upbringing and insanely isolated life til recent-#-all of which was due to/contributed by the parental figures in her life minus maybe barbara#i think I'd love to watch cass act as a mentor (she was a bit of a peer mentor to Steph and got along well w maps in Batgirls)#but it's hard to picture her as maternal. big sister yes. mother no.#dick is soooo dad shaped it's unreal. just as much as he is brother shaped. especially after everything with damian

mordecai is the first funny bitch like spends 90% of his time literally just standing there going "i'm dapressed" to himself while everyone in the vicinity takes potshots and then he's clocking in for the night shift where for the next 9 hours people go "god mordecai would it kill you to act like you're having more fun at the [kills you] factory"
#The First Funny Bitch as a phrase from the ''cain was the first funny bitch'' post that i will use with some flexibility. yaknow.#i love going like oh boy a coworker triumvirate. their funny little guy (other duo going ''i want him dead'')#though it's unfair to the savoys lmfao if he's at best sometimes a desk toy to them: they do at least keep calling him babygirl#and giving him special mordecai invitations (by not inviting him) to their hotel room to try to marry him#so if nothing else we do appreciate adding a ton of flair to [afflicting the autistic coworker]#in turn i appreciate that mordecai and viktor's dynamic probably consisted of mutual ''i Do Not Care if my coworker seems weird''#but outside of that; was anyone at lackadaisy aggrieving mordecai with the style & variety that the savoys bring....perhaps not#an upgrade in that realm....and there seems to be Some mutual [i do not care if my coworker seems weird] there again too lol#even while they've all probably been working together like half a week & haven't all worn their getalong sweater long enough#and already mordecai is doing his [not just literally standing there] rogue lone mystery solving deal lmao. wild card that he is#lackadaisy#oh also speaking of [before mordecai went grr i Hate still working here; ripped off the fridge door; went & got a new Hated job]#it's pure bonus comic realm & particularly Elevated Silly Goofs genre at that; but#points for ivy having that Younger Sibling dynamic w/mordecai w/the implication she takes his forbidden condiments index seriously#and like; in general lol not even just a [it's serious when it comes to dealing with this weird guy] way. all the more powerful for that#wait i nearly forgot to mention the hot new otp: mordecai / j.j.#that's right [sad trombone] providing guy. i know enough. first funny bitch 4 first funny bitch.#[guy doing his own thing & everyone's like Get His Ass] 4 [guy doing his own thing & everyone's like Get His Ass]#and ofc because it is funny in & of itself. & basically like Your New OC. so much room to maneuver that you cannot crash#also hmm like if your nickname for someone is Maybe ''annoying mf'' does it cancel out....eh#numbers flying around intense focus like everything points to ''hatchet would directly translate to hatchette not petit hache''#and if you mon petit hache it (read this w/such a meter that it all rhymes)#900 tons of restraint not going ''wow this is just like analyzing billions'' & by even saying i've managed to avoid as much; now i haven't

Me, reading the AtoZ story: None of these guys understand how romance or women (aka, they are literally just humans beings like yoursel - human beings just like anyone else) work. Somehow, this explains so much....

oh so baby pond snails are bastards on purpose
#Emu tries to post#aquatic snails#Pond snails#i love my ponds! they are just so Stubborn and Annoying#I. I respect that they are like the hulk of snails and refuse to let me take them off whatever they’re on#I do not respect that they keep deciding to climb out of the whole tank I. WHY#It’s clean! It’s got food! It’s got a filter! It’s got other snails! What more could you want!#and then they decide heehoo I’m gonna go on a journey and be on the other side of the room in another tank :)#COME ON GUYS#I thought I’d overestimated this capability and forgotten I’d put one guy in that tank but Seriously#I put some babies in a cup for later#two minutes pass. I look over and WHY ARE YOU ON THE OUTSIDE ALREADY#this cup had like a centimetre of water in and in two minutes they climbed all the way to the outside?????#I guess I need to extend their tank and make it taller purely so they can keep climbing without getting stuck outside#I.#pond snails are probably the Worst nightmare of anyone who doesn’t want snails#I do want snails but I have many grievances with ponds specifically#Malaysian trumpet snail my darling you have no faults whatsoever#the rest of you though… ramshorns eat each other. And also every plant. Bladder snails make so many babies and so many poop too#pond snails are. They have a lot of personality. Not a very nice personality though#Malaysian trumpet snails though? Oh my sweet sweet darlings with your sheep like faces and teeny babes and love of underground#if I ever get one of the snails that’s actually sold as a pet I would probably want a rabbit snail

why did i just see a post actually mad that ten thousand dollars is being donated to charity bc it's not going to organisations that need immediate help and therefore is actually immoral and suibait worthy. do you have rocks in your skull. do people just not think very hard before they say things. regardless of how you feel about the fandom itself what an incredibly silly way to approach it ... 😭😭😭
obviously people, in general, should focus their aid on organisations that need immediate help but to insinuate that continuing to exist as a person with various interests and things to stand for alongside and doing anything else is a waste is not only, again, really silly, it's also kind of cruel...? and also this applies to everyone on earth and is not only applicable to one random fandom you already hate in the first place. be seriousssss. for real. demonising charity...
#🐾#i wasn't even going to say anything because how ridiculous can you get 😭#i seriously think people need to realise that talking about what matters actually means doing that and not just being juvenile and petty#you can so seriously hate ofmd for whatever reason you want you can want all it's fans DEAD but be so fucking serious right now you're#trying to act like donating to charity is a fucking criminal offense 😭 are you 16 years old#well some of them are close ...#also i have to I HAVE TO BELIEBE that people just didn't understand the phrasing bc this is seriously silly#fandom related charities even from an outsiders pov would = lgbt charities#or do people seriously think there's somehow a fandom related charity like. for fandoms. like a03 or something 😭#i would believe disability or even indigenous/māori orgs could have focus#and i know people donate to a cancer fund bc of a fan who passed in their honour#like this is so... you're all getting way too wrapped up and need to dial it back a couple dozen notches#also not even like bringing up the whole 10k for palestine last november + 6k for care for gaza + another fundraise organised for the 19th#for palestine specifically which i imagine would get anything between the same amount#like it's all so... you can argue that it's inequal or unfair as much as you want until you literally pass out but 0 dollars is far worse#and at the end of the day at least there's focus and attention and aid being actually given 😭 does it matter#i have as much misgivings as the next guy but i'm also not an irrational person ... THIS IS SO DUMB. IT'S CHARITY#absolutely ppl who need it should have focus in ppls activism and efforts. you can do this amazing thing called ''both''

Anyway so there's this guy I was talking to in my city who was trying to hit me up as friends with benefits right, and I'm not against the idea if its a dependable friend. But he said that he couldn't ever have me over at his because he still lives with his ex and doesn't want to upset her omfg but he has the audacity to think he could just invite himself to my house, which is my SONS house. Like yeah let's not upset my ex of 5 years who I'm still pining after and keep accidentally calling my partner still, but yeah I can just go to your sons home and make myself comfy as friends with benefits because that's what I need to heal from my ex that I still live with. Fuck OFF where are these men finding the audacity?? I'm thiiiis close to just closing all my dms again cause what is thaaaaat ahaha pathetic little boy

#It’s honestly been kind of shocking to me that apparently the only reason I haven’t spent most of my life#being self-conscious about my height was bc I aggressively internalized the idea that it’s ‘better for women to be shorter’#bc once I realized I uhhhh Wasn’t One#my confidence has been dropping exponentially by the day#realizing my gender has been great but also one big stomach-turning wave of ‘oh This is dysphoria’#It’s another in a long line of things about me that make people prone to infantilize me#Like… fuck I’m seriously looking into those surgeries that make you taller#People really don’t fucking talk about the standards we have for men physically#Not nearly enough#So much is disguised as ‘preferences’ and is really just racism and queerphobia#It makes me not want to go outside sometimes#It makes me want to believe in reincarnation so bad bc maybe next time the universe will get it fucking right#I try to talk about it w my therapist but she only tells me that most of the trans guys she knows are petite and that it’s okay#AND GODDAMNIT I KNOW THAT BUT MOST PEOPLE AREN’T SO KIND ABOUT IT#I HAVE TO LIVE IN THEIR WORLD#Hell I have to live with cis people who are well intentioned but still holding onto toxic beliefs about gender#And they’re learning but sometimes they make me feel like they’re humoring me by acknowledging my gender and pronouns#I’m *trans* not *delusional*#People are so cruel to men in particular who don’t fit their standards of what a man looks like#They’re absolutely vile about it for women too but at least the horrible standards about women are a bit more acknowledged socially#Thanks to very necessary work done by feminists and queer activists!#But hey we need it too#Not every dude is a conventionally attractive and toxically masculine allocishet man#Do you know how much shit most of the guys I know got for being short???#We’re Hispanic we’re usually not that tall#Just… FUCK stop being so condescending about short dudes or dudes with delicate features#Enough with the ‘manlet’s and ironic ‘short king’s#I don’t care if it’s funny#i really fucking don’t#Stop

rotates kamado in my brain
#the nemesis speaks#he's not. evil. yanno.#like.  he makes Bad Choices especially in like the red sky event / ounce of prevention#he very rapidly loses sight of Good Decisions when certain things are on the line#but he's not like an irredeemable asshole either?#i think his biggest character flaw is primarily his reluctance to get outside opinions before making a call#(which- incidentally- is kind of the inverse of irida's character flaw. SHE'S incapable of making her OWN decisions)#but then again oop kamado tried getting intel from one (1) guy and it fucked him over completely#you gotta diversify your assets kamado!#he can place faith in others but like. that faith doesnt necessarily translate into calling on their judgement#(also he does revise his opinions after you beat his ass with your dogs a couple times just saying)#(he's like ah. i see now. the strength of your bonds. the. Extremely Literal Strength.)#(maybe i should try that sometime)#also seriously he just has it out for this one fifteen year old in particular it's so funny#all are welcome as family in jubilife village of new beginnings- EXCEPT YOU#i wanna take a not-an-asshole tact with him in another fic. not oop though he's a lost cause there#he's dug his hole now pace around in it like a caged tiger#but like... hmm#maybe just a version of canon where the protagonist proves their worth just a liiiitle more and he refuses to throw you out#though where's the plot go from there?#i'm. rambling. gotta stop before the tag limit
