Evidence against the argument that Superman’s disguise wouldn’t fool anyone:
- Dolly Parton once lost a Dolly Parton look alike contest to a fucking drag queen.
- Charlie Chaplin once failed to even place at a Charlie Chaplin impersonator contest.
- Hugh Jackman went to comic con as Wolverine, only 2 people noticed him and one told him he was too tall.
- Christopher
Reeve use to go to a restaurant in costume when filming Superman. When
he went in the Superman costume he was mobbed by people all the time.
When he went in the Clark Kent costume no one realized he was
Christopher Reeve.

I do not ask this lightly, the Missouri AG’s office has started a site to build a list of trans people. Clog the system. That’s the life of a trans kid who gets another day on this earth. Spam the fuck out of it, it’s not sophisticated. You don’t need to use a real email. Post as much as you’d like
Hi! Transgender Missourian here. DO NOT DO THIS. DO NOT SUBMIT ANYTHING TO THIS SITE.
This is not to “collect a list of trans people”. This site was created to collect fake complaints specifically about the Transgender Center at Washington University Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. It was only uploaded because the A.G.’s “investigation” into the Transgender Center turned up nothing, so they want people to submit lies to justify shutting down the Center (which is the only one in the region).
In February, a former non-medical employee of the Transgender Center published a viral op-ed about how the Center was “mutilating children”. Every. Single. Thing. She said was a lie, and she shared identifying information about trans patients. She went straight to the Missouri Attorney General asking him to ban trans healthcare in the state.
The far-right A.G. complied and immediately opened an “investigation” into the Center.
We heard nothing for a month, demonstrating that the “investigation” found no evidence to support the government’s transphobic agenda. THAT IS WHEN THEY CREATED THIS WEBPAGE. THEY WANT PEOPLE TO SUBMIT THINGS. THEY WANT LIES. THEY WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING CRUEL ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE.
Investigations by the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the Missouri Independent, and NPR, who interviewed an enormous number of patients from the Center, found no evidence to support this former employee’s transphobic claims, nor evidence to support banning trans healthcare altogether (of course).
Despite no evidence, on April 13th, 2023, the Attorney General announced that all transgender healthcare will be illegal in the state beginning April 27th.
THE FAR-RIGHT STATE GOVERNMENT IS FISHING FOR FAKE “EVIDENCE”. DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM.
Please actually learn about the situation and check with the people on the ground before you spread misinformation like this. Although some people may have good intentions, this will hurt trans people.
If you see this misinformation going around, please correct it (I’ve seen 3 posts like this in the last day).
Solidarity with children is often neglected or even made a joke of, so I wanna take a second and tell y'all what I wish I could go back in time and tell myself:
You're right. School is bullshit, homework is bullshit, waking up early is bullshit, going to bed early is bullshit. Some adults are just pointlessly cruel, even those in positions of authority over you. Sometimes adults are wrong, and, in fact, sometimes you are right
You were born with an innate sense of justice and fairness and adults have spent your entire life trying to beat it out of you so you'll shut up and do what you're told in an unjust and unfair society. Don't let them. Many of us have to take effort to relearn the wisdom you have right now, the ability to tell when something is bullshit even if you can't articulate why yet
You deserve happiness, fulfillment, and liberation just as much as any adult. Those first 18 years are just as important as any other time in your life, and it's time you'll never get back. Don't let anyone take them from you just because you're too young to fight back
Question everything, and never take "that's just the way it is" as an answer. Sometimes when things don't make sense to you it's because they just don't make any goddamn sense
Pick your battles, and be strategic. Don't take this post as permission to go starting fights for no reason. But remember that you have worth, and our society tends to not respect that. And you're right: that is bullshit
(also, read Anarchy Works)
also also, read The Teenage Liberation Handbook
Haven’t read it myself, but if it interests you then you can read it here for free in case paying for a book online and having it shipped to your house isn’t an option for you

As a preschool teacher one of my go to moves is "yeah me too"
Kid says they miss mommy? Yeah buddy, I miss my mom too. Maybe a hug will help us?
'i want ice cream for lunch' hell yeah, brother, me too, wouldn't that be great?
‘i want ice cream for
lunch’ hell yeah, brother, me too,
wouldn’t that be great?
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Hey, hot take, but if a company decides they no longer want to distribute a piece of media they own the rights to, then they should be legally required to sign the rights back over to the creator.
They shouldn't be allowed to just sit on the IP for the rest of time, especially if they have no intention of ever releasing it again.
#i thought this was gonna say “then they shouldn't be allowed to punish piracy of it”
You know what, that's also a valid take, let's add that to the post
In computer gaming there's a concept called Abandonware that runs on this premise. That if the company isn't making it and selling it anymore, it's acceptable to copy/download/pirate it.
Applied in a wider sense, if there's no way for you to access it legally, then illegally is fuckin' fine.
But yes, if the owner isn't using it they ought to be obligated to make it available to someone who will.
AU where Dooku still leaves the Order but he’s not evil, and so Obi-Wan and Anakin and Ahsoka have this random crazy-rich old grandpa who swings by from his mansion every so often to have tea and discuss galactic events with Yoda and Mace, and also to chide his lineage about standing up straight and not slurping their soup.
This is especially hilarious given that I am 1000% sure Anakin and Ahsoka did stuff like having belching contests like, a lot, so I assume Snooty Grandpa showed up just as one was really getting going and somehow he was MOST disappointed in Obi-Wan for letting this happen.
Also even better in a Qui-Gon Lives AU.
Obi-Wan: [immaculately groomed, quietly reading and politely sipping tea]
Anakin and Ahsoka: [shooting spitballs at the ceiling while watching a really loud, obnoxious TV show]
Dooku: [shakes his head at Obi-Wan in deep disapproval] Honestly…how can you have trained an apprentice who encourages such behavior? I come all this way to visit and this is what I’m faced with?
Qui-Gon: [walks in covered in dirt, with leaves and twigs in his beard and hair] Before anyone asks about my last mission, everything was like that when I got there. [sits down, cracks open a can of cheap beer and puts his filthy sandals on the coffee table] Also a prophecy I read said I had to do it, so.
Obi-Wan: [shoots a pointed look at Dooku]
I wanted to do my own take of this scene from TOTK. This part of the game was so epic and grand.
