Trust Grant Morrison to write a freaking Ultimate Adventures reference in 2025. I like their Batman/Deadpool way more than the previous one.

You absolutely fucked up the dimensions of bars in your enclosure? Problematic cage gap.
Your library is understaffed and the reference staff is shelving? Problematic page gap.
You bought your smudge from a white lady at a crystal shop? Problematic sage gap.

The first time I tried playing World of Darkness, I had such a miserable experience I stopped playing TTRPGs altogether for a couple of years.
I still want to try tho. I want to run a proper chronicle one of these days.

I think we're slowly approaching the point where depicting Lex Luthor as both a genius and a billionaire will seem too unrealistic

when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >
Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Last year I did a Middle Aged Man Gift Guide and Advice Thread on Mastodon.
Middle Aged Men are difficult to think of gifts for- it is why there are so many jokes about just getting them socks.
But even Middle Aged Men have gift dreams- even if they don’t know what they are themselves.
I'll help
