(Note: I’m basing most of this off of how my brother is 15 year old black teen)
- Miles gets josed for his hairline constantly, says his barber is out of town
- he has drawn over 500 different versions of black DBZ and Naruto characters
- After he gets his powers, no one near him can ever self serve their neck again, he’s too fast
- even with super powers, he still manages to forget to take out the chicken for his mama. Whack.
- He however never loses at 2k anymore.

Unpopular opinion: straight people using “partner” to refer to their SO actually helps normalize the term so that lgbt folx can use it without automatically outing themselves to strangers. It also helps other straight ppl get comfortable with the fact that strangers aren’t entitled to information about other people’s gender or sexuality.
Give op their hard-earned notes
Tbh I hear “partner” and assume gay, I didn’t know straights used it. Very fair point, OP
I hear ‘partner’ and think ‘gay’ too. A girl at work used it for months and I just went with it. When she would say ‘he’ I even thought maybe he was trans*. Anyways, someone using partner makes me more comfortable and I came out to her. She was just an intelligent straight girl that liked the term and was knowledgeable in human sexuality so definitely someone I should have felt comfortable coming out too. It’s a good sign of a straight person uses it IMO.
As a mental health clinician, this is actually my blanket term when discussing any romantic relationship. I agree it normalizes it, but I also think it’s a relatively safe term to use to describe most romantic relationships without making any assumptions about the person’s orientation or identity. I also use the word “partnered” when describing a monogamous relationship status.
The term “partner” also removes the implied hierarchy of boyfriend/girlfriend vs husband/wife. This is relevant both to non-monogamous people, and unmarried individuals for whom the importance of their relationship isn’t dictated by its legal status.
also you can make cowboy jokes
as a straight, it also helps me weed out homophobes. if they act suspect when i say “partner” i know they gots to go
Designer and artist Heidi Lee crafts surreal wearable art, garnering a reputation for her “Endless Echo Hat” that features a cast, repeating version of her face. See more of her work here.
help, my wife is napping and i miss her but she deserves her rest
If you replace “wife” with “fiancee,” and “napping” with “sleeping after going to bed early,” this is me rn
if you replace “wife” with “master Frodo” and “napping” with “sleeping after Elvish surgery following an incident with a cursed Morgul blade” this is Sam Gamgee rn
Local/state health departments are still functional and do the bulk of food facility inspections. Maine Dept of Agriculture, for example, inspects all the seafood & produce harvested by Mainers or brought into the state via truck.
The FDA primarily acts as a backstop for local Environmental Health departments, interceding when things go horribly wrong. Like, if an outbreak of e-coli is detected by your local health department, they would inform the FDA so that other states where the food might be shipped are alerted.
Or if a national food company is an egregious violator they might earn special status by the FDA to clean up their act and prove compliance via reinspection. But again, local EH departments continue to stay involved.
(I took food processors & dairy farms off the list because, again, local EH departments are the front line defense there.)
The FDA is more like the watchful parents, involving themselves when local agencies need help or act incorrectly. They’re also the ones who decide what foods & drugs can be sold safely in the United States, and how they’re packaged, handled, etc.
Drug trials are completely stalled right now, for example.
Yes, it’s bad the FDA is shutdown and the risks multiply the longer it remains so. But it’s not like we’re all going to get leprosy from tainted spinach tomorrow.
So I just discovered something straight out of a fever dream…
Apparently, from 2014 to 2017 a number of artists from all over the world recreated the Manga Akira with characters from The Simpsons and called it “Bartkira”
and this wasn’t just some “ha ha look at this funny thing” oneshot…
they recreated all 6 volumes with 300-400 pages each
Bart is Kaneda, Millhouse is Tetsuo and Akira… well Ralph is Akira…
I wish I was making this up…
Is this the rumored American Akira remake? We’ll never know…
well the original website doesn’t seem to work properly anymore so I uploaded all 6 volumes here for all of you to enjoy… have fun
The reason Rumiko Takahashi couldn’t figure out how to end Ranma is because she fundamentally misunderstood what Ranma is about. The saffron fight and the failed wedding are unsatisfying ending notes to the story because the central conflict of the story isn’t “will ranma beat this strong opponent” (yes) or “will they or won’t they” (they won’t) it’s “will ranma self-actualize and finally gain control of their own life”
And at the core of ranma’s struggle for self-actualization is the struggle to find their own gender identity! Ranma is a story about gender!!!
