I feel like we're almost in an era of like, reverse queerbaiting. Used to be that you'd be tricked into watching a show because the story implied there'd be gay rep, but now they're using gay rep to trick you into thinking there'll be a story.
still thinking about that r/hypotheticalsituation post where someone was like "what if a potato chip spawned somewhere randomly in the world. and every hour the number of potato chips at that location would double. and the only way to get rid of them for good would be to eat all of the potato chips before they doubled again." and someone calculated that it would only take like, 48 hours of people ignoring a weird pile of potato chips before an absolutely irreconcilable number of potato chips was blanketing a city.
and then people were like "no wait if it spawns randomly in the world, it's highly likely it would be in an ocean" and then people were debating whether there were enough small fish swimming at the surface in the open ocean that would be able to eat a potato chip and thus save humanity from the potato chip apocalypse.
Yβever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?
I've seen this passed around a few times, and I have one thing to say:

The idea of spontaneously getting on a train and going somewhere far might be romantic in another country but England is too small for that. Pull an Eternal Sunshine and go where? Fucking Slough? Go to fucking Slough and get a fucking boots meal deal?

Two years after being tasked with commissioning a review of medical evidence surrounding gender-affirming care for trans youth, Utahβs own state health department has concluded that trans healthcare bans βcannot be justified.β The Republicans who commissioned the study arenβt too happy about it.
Back in 2023, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed a bill that placed an indefiniteΒ βmoratoriumβΒ on doctors prescribing gender-affirming care like hormone therapy and puberty blockers to trans youth. That bill ordered the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to compile their report in order to produce recommendations for the state government on whether or not to lift the moratorium.
This week, the department delivered their long-awaited, over 1,000-pageΒ reportΒ β which is dated August 6, 2024 β to Utah lawmakers. The reportβs authors found that βthe consensus of the evidence supports that the treatments are effective in terms of mental health, psychosocial outcomes, and the induction of body changes consistent with the affirmed gender in pediatric GD [gender dysphoria] patients.β
The authors added that βthe evidence also supports that the treatments are safe in terms of changes to bone density, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic changes, and cancer.β Trans youth who had received gender-affirming care were within the bounds of normal, non-pathological ranges for these conditions.
yβall this is huge. please donβt βwater is wetβ all over it! I understand that we all already know thisβ¦ The point is that the world doesnβt know or care or believe and so these studies really fucking matter!
some appear to believe that washing dishes is basically a ritual action, i.e. the dish reaches a "washed" state once you have performed the actions of dish washing, involving dish soap and sponge, and that your obligation ceases once you have done this, and not at the point at which the dish is actually clean.
With a character like Sophie, who is so inherently charismatic and sexy (which is like 90% of her job), it was such a Choice to introduce her with her terrible stage acting fr. Truly unmatched.
Parker is first on screen hanging upside down and then shouting with unfettered glee as she launches herself off a building (ahead of the count). Let alone the little flashback of her as a child blowing up her childhood home and running off with her thieved Bunny.
It's something I love about the Leverage pilot is that like. Yeah, Parker and Sophie are hot but they're also Freaks and you HAVE to be down for them as Freaks to get on this train. They're not just hot hypercompetent genre cliches, they're unhinged messes in their own ways. Just. Women.
Parker isn't ahead of the count. Parker goes on the original count, not the restarted count, because Nate didn't announce that they were resetting their start time. It's a very early, very key character beat.
Randomly curious:
Everyone I know would know of these, and many would have some in their kitchens. So now I'm curious how far that knowledge goes.

I have a question (and you seem really knowledgeable about DC lore): Has Superman ever been canonically Jewish in the character's history? I couldβve sworn he was at some point, but I might be confusing him with someone else. Or was that just an early canon/elseworlds thing?
Good question! Superman himself has never been Jewish in canon. He was raised in a regular white Midwestern farming family, a demographic that trends very strongly Protestant. However, Superman's creators were Jewish and infused him with Jewish themes and symbolism. His Kryptonian name, Kal-El, can be translated in Hebrew as something along the lines of "voice of G-d," and his neverending battle for "truth, justice, and a better tomorrow" evokes the Jewish principle of tikkun olam.
Superman also evokes Jewish folklore and scripture, in particular the Golem of Prague who comes to defend the Jews in their time of need and persecution - in his earliest issues, Superman is positioned as a champion of the oppressed, who will always stand up for those being persecuted and subjugated.
This concept has come and gone over the years, but more recent comics have brought it back explicitly to the forefront, and the current Absolute Superman comic is based around a modernization of the premise.
In fact, there have been direct comparisons between Superman and the Golem in the comics! See below, from Man of Steel #82, from 1998:
The other Jewish figure Superman evokes is, of course, Moses. A lone child, sent from a home facing calamity, adopted and raised as part of another people before being sent forth to accomplish wonders. Accomplished writers have made great use of Superman as a Mosaic archetype, including Philip Kennedy Johnson in his Warworld Saga, within the pages of Action Comics #1029-1046, where Superman comes to liberate a group of his people from slavery:
So yes, while Superman himself has never been Jewish, Jewish themes and motifs have been a core element of him since the beginning. Many people conflate this with him being Jewish himself, but that is not the case.
While I have you here, another character people do this with is Captain America, who was also created by a pair of Jews but is not Jewish himself - more recent stories have in fact established him as being Irish Catholic.
Some major superheroes who are actually Jewish include Moon Knight, Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Kitty Pryde, Ragman, Atom Smasher, Harley Quinn, Wiccan, Magneto, the Thing, Iceman, and Batwoman and her cousin Batman (whose Jewishness has been underexplored since it was established!).

The funniest thing about biphobia is that when it's directed towards men it's just homophobia and when it's directed towards women it's just misogyny. But the woke kind so it's actually okay
Oh you're definitely one of the "woke kind" of misogynists.
