Sometimes it is enough to sit on your own in a sunny field and think about happy things. Not always, but sometimes.
"Another farmworker, Gabriel, who came out to speak, brought a backpack full of yellow envelopes containing all his tax documents over the decades.
“These are my taxes. I have been paying my taxes for 19 years, without rights,” he said, as he pulled out each envelope and threw them on the ground in front of the podium. “I’ve been doing this year, after year, after year. For a promise that I would get my citizenship, this is my testimony that I am not a criminal. We are not criminals.”"

Schwimm-WM: Viertes WM-Gold für Wellbrock
Florian Wellbrock hat den nächsten Titel geholt: In Singapur gewann der 27-Jährige bei der Freiwasser-Staffel das vierte WM-Gold. Nun hat er ein paar Tage Zeit, um sich auf das nächste Rennen vorzubereiten.
20 July 1893 | A Polish Jew, Symcha Liberbaum, was born in Turbia.
In #Auschwitz from 24 October 1941.
No. 21986
He perished in the camp on 4 November 1941.
Superman has always been, by a large margin, my least favorite superhero. I've always found him stiff and vague--more an idea in a suit than a person. A lot of other DC heroes are great, but I never got Superman, or what people saw in him.
I saw the new Superman movie.
I get it now.
This movie is why I loathed all the DC Universe movies. They're why I haaated all of the other Superman movies except the first one.
They made the movie be about trust and kindness, before anything else, even when--and after--they're betrayed.
*That* is a Superman I can love.
Relating to superheroes has always been a problem for me. Even more recent marvel ones--they're all spectacle. Few of the problems they face are really human-shaped.
Honestly, only Jadzia Axelrod's Galaxy and Hawkgirl treatments have really felt personal to me.
I guess what I'm saying is this:
This is the first superhero movie that left me going, "Yeah, that's how I'd do it." Right down to being too trusting of people. Kindness, as the real superpower.
The Superman movie saved superhero movies for me, same way Dreadnought saved superhero stories for me.
I really appreciated your writing about dreadnought in the past. I never really got Superman, either. I saw another person on mastodon say it was great, too. I might have to give it a chance!
For me, I got sick of the marvel movies pretty fast. They seemed like the same movie over and over. The last superhero movie I liked was the Batman with Pattinson. It wasn't fantastic, but it seemed realistic in a way. I just kept thinking "a person walking around in a goofy costume like that, doing the things he does, has to be more than a bit off." The way the cops reacted to him, the way he was obsessed and self isolated, and the way the villain openly related to him, especially over wearing a mask, just seemed so appropriate.
The fact is, this kind of love for one another takes massive courage in a world that doesn’t believe in it, & doesn’t think it’s either real or realistic…
Or try prove it’s impossible by making things difficult for the hero, try to make them do a heel turn, to justify the idea that it’s unreasonable to be kind. It takes so much integrity, courage, sense of self, and love for one another to do right in this world. And humility to control all that power and not abuse it!
Really looking forward to this movie.
I love Superman bc of Christopher Reeve’s version.
Everything I hear abt this one gets me excited.
@JoBlakely Yeah. I try--and fail, but I keep trying--to be kind to people no matter what. I've been burned so many times, but it's so worth it.
It's hard as fuck, though.
But worked through.
> Few of the problems they face are really human-shaped.
You know, I think this finally gives me an answer for why I liked Iron Man 3 so much. Seeing Tony struggle with PTSD and agoraphobia as a result of the wild ass shit that the Avengers had been through really humanized him.
I think it’s also why Tom Holland has been the best Spiderman. He’s just a kid, dealing with some really fucking serious shit.
#GameNight #FairWarning #AlienRPG
We're starting in about 15 minutes.
I think this is the beginning of the end for our campaign. As it has been planned from the beginning.
We've proved to be extremely difficult to kill. One of our party sacrificed himself for the rest of us (he was already mortally wounded and unable to be moved), and another . . . well, it's complicated. But she is no longer with us in her original form.
Anyway . . .
My medic now has a shotgun. Incongruous? Perhaps. But she can at least do damage now.

Examining the role of men in the gender gap in American society

Stimme zu. Wir lassen das mit dem gesellschaftlich konstruierten Gender (Geschlechterstereotype) und lassen einfach alle so sein wie sie sich identifizieren wollen.
Und damit sich alle angesprochen fühlen nutzen wir so inklusive Sprache wie allen möglich ist. ✌️🏳️🌈👍
Ich lese nämlich aus dem Post nicht, dass du das gendern sein lassen willst.
Das Wähler und Wählerinnen wird zu Wahlvolk.
Ich weiß, das kostet Gehirnaktivität und es dauert länger bis es die Allgemeinheit erreicht und überzeugt. Aber Rom ist auch nicht an einem Tag erbaut worden und Kopenhagen brauchte 20 Jahre, um zur menschenfreundlichen Verkehrsstadt zu werden.
Das ist der Weg.
