HEY THERE, Y'ALL!

As we move into 2019 and presidential hopefuls start their campaigns, remember:

- DO NOT FORM POLITICAL OPINIONS BASED ON INFOGRAPHICS. Read source material. If a journalist is legitimate, they will not pass off their statements as fact without proof.

- DO NOT TAKE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AS TRUTH. Not even when they are made by someone you trust.

- DO NOT TRUST ANY SOURCE UNLESS IT IS CORRABORATED BY MULTIPLE OTHER CREDIBLE SOURCES.

There are already bots posting propaganda, actively targeting leftists, encouraging us not to vote in various ways.

Do not let them win.

This political system is heinously broken, but consider what evil still has to gain from silencing you before you allow yourself to be silenced.

And check the context on EVERY soundbite you hear. If you’re told, “Someone said X!” see if what they said takes on a different meaning if you hear what they said before and after it. Especially if it’s less than a full sentence. o.O

So I realize this is taking about US politics, but considering Canada is going to be having a federal election this year (October 21st, 2019), this is pretty useful for Canadians as well. Remember to check your facts and do your research! Most of all, VOTE!

I would love to see a production of Hamlet set in the 80s, if for no other reason than to see Hamlet’s really dark wardrobe come off as even more inappropriate and weird because everyone else is wearing bright neon.

Ophelia has her hair teased and sprayed like, a foot over her head, with giant hoop earrings and the very gaudy combo of bright turquoise skirts with hot pink tank tops. She still says all the lines as written but with a valley girl accent.

Horatio has shaggy, messy hair and wears heavy barn jackets over denim shirts. He’s got ‘ACT UP’ pins all over his jacket and is clearly uncomfortable being around Hamlet’s family.

Hamlet, even wearing all black (including round black tinted glasses) is still v 80s. He has the ‘long ass bangs but real short in the back’ cut, and most of his jackets have huge shoulders to them. He listens to Don’t Fear The Reaper and Tom Sawyer A LOT. While he doesn’t have as many pins as Horatio, he does have a few Gay Lib ones.

Claudius and Gertrude are VERY 80s conservative politican. Gertrude has giant shoulder pads and helmet hair (and probably a Margaret Thatcher calendar). Claudius is all smiles and handshakes until you get alone with him, then he’s a real mean bastard.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are both decked out in neon so bright is hard to look at them. Laertes is a TOTAL young republican. Marcellus and Bernardo are security personnel for Hamlet’s parents. Osric is the MOST swishy 80s gay.

Hamlet sees the ghost of his father for the first time in an abandoned warehouse, as Come On Eileen plays somewhere softly in the distance.

Listen my dudes Ancient Egypt existed for a really fuckass long time. Literally just Pharaonic civilization lasted 3,000 years. That’s not even including predynastic civilization and Roman rule. If you lump that in you’re looking at more like… 5,000 years.

Like. If you want a comparison of how long that is: THE YEAR IS CURRENTLY 2018. TWO THOUSAND. TWO-THIRDS OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN PHARAONIC CIVILIZATION HAVE HAPPENED SINCE THE ‘BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST’

We comparatively just entered the Third Intermediate Period. The Greeks will not take over for another 700~ years. Cleopatra will not be born until the year 2931.

It’s a really long time guys.

Anyway look. Listen. I sat my ass down and wrote out a timeline of “when shit happened if you started at 1AD” because I know backwards numbers are hard to process but here’s an abridged version.

If the first Egyptian Pharaoh came to power in 1AD then…

300: step pyramid built
450: Great Pyramid at Giza built
815: Pepi II dies and civil war breaks out
950: Egypt re-unified
1350: Middle Kingdom ends
1450: New Kingdom begins
1520: Hatshepsut is on the throne
1650: Ahkenaten switches to monotheistic religion and builds a new city
1680: Tutankhamun dies
1720: Ramesses II ‘the great’ ascends to the throne
1740: World’s first peace treaty signed
1790: Ramesses II dies leaving way too many children
1920: Egypt breaks into 2 states again

And now we get to ~~~~the future~~~~. If we started at 1AD all of this stuff hasn’t happened yet

2050: Briefly re-united as a single state
2180: Civil war
2250: Nubian kings take over
2335: Assyrian conquest
2665: Alexander the Great conquers Egypt
2930: Cleopatra VII born
2970: Cleopatra VII dies. Egypt falls to Rome. Fin.

And that’s just starting with the Pharaohs. If you wanted to start with Predynastic Egypt, you can go ahead and ADD ONE THOUSAND YEARS to all of those dates

I hate that this is still getting notes but that it’s getting notes *without the timeline addition* like c’mon, man. I had to do MATHS for this. I DID MATHS FOR YOU PEOPLE AND ALL I GOT WAS A BUNCH OF RACISTS

Eating foods that can help raise estrogen and testosterone levels.

• Studies conducted by the Linus Pauling Institute of Oregon State University indicated that eating plant-based foods that contain phytoestrogens may help women raise estrogen levels. Examples of such foods include:

• Seeds: flaxseeds and sesame seeds
• Fruit: apricots, oranges, strawberries, peaches, many dried fruits
• Vegetables: yams, carrots, alfalfa sprouts, kale, celery
• Soy products: tofu, miso soup, soy yogurt
• Dark rye bread
• Legumes: lentils, peas, pinto beans
• Olives and olive oil
• Chickpeas
• Culinary herbs: turmeric, thyme, sage

Phytoestrogens are ancient naturally occurring substances, and as dietary phytochemicals they are considered as co-evolutive with mammals. In the human diet, phytoestrogens are not the only source of exogenous estrogens. Xenoestrogens (novel, man-made), are found as food additives^[19] and ingredients, and also in cosmetics, plastics, and insecticides.   Environmentally, they have similar effects as phytoestrogens, making it difficult to clearly separate the action of these two kind of agents in studies done on populations.

so like when mammalian estrogen was given to mice it didn’t affect their bodies until they were given 1000 times the amount that you’d naturally find in cow’s milk

Plus don’t forget the part where the hormones in animal products represent something like 1/100,000 of what an adolescent boy makes each day naturally not to mention a woman who is pregnant or on birth control

Love the fact vegans are jumping on the soyboy/ food hormone craze that was started by literal nazi’s, right-wingers and terfs as a way to attack LGBT people, by claiming the hormones in animal products (namely soy) was what caused people to be trans / gay.

Cis people know absolutely nothing about hormones and you’re fine with jumping on the transphobic and homophobic conservative memes, which shows pretty much all you need to know about the white western vegan craze.

Villains in Addams Family movies go to really unnecessary lengths to defraud them of the family fortune. These people just give it away on whims all the time. If I just walked into the house and started wearing their clothes and spending their money, they wold start introducing me as Cousin Intruder and forget there was ever a time I didn’t live with them.

Gomez in particular would enjoy your boldness, Cousin Intruder.

Oh shit.

The Addams family loves and greets every person entering one of their homes.

The Addams family adopted or married every person wishing to stay.

This is why the Addams family is full of freaks.

Of course.

So what we’re saying is, tracing the Addams’ geneology is damn near impossible and it’s just as likely that no living member of the family is actually a blood relative of the people who originally held the family name?

What I’m hearing is that Batman is actually an Addams. 

He most certainly is

I mean, considering if you look at it in the light of a different story, the near (actual, factual) homicidal level of bond and love the Addams have for each other, the idea that they’re all adopted, the way that Bruce is often portrayed as a bit of an aloof, smarmy smarm in private, the possibility that young Bruce might not be wholly appreciative of his extended family’s eccentricities, of which his parents are the mildest of the bunch, the idea that those two parents are (distantly) Addams’ and get gunned down, well.

[Gomez]: I came, I came as soon as I heard

[Bruce]: I…I told you never to come back, I said, I said you were weird

[Gomez]: Please, my boy, to compliment me when you are so wracked with grief. *clutching hug* Dear Thomas, dear Martha, so full of life…

[Bruce]: *extricating* They….they fell in front of me…while he laughed…with mother’s pearls…

[Gomez]: The fiend! This dishonor cannot stand!

[Bruce]: And I felt….I felt it well up inside me, a black blood welling up…

[Gomez]: Yes, dear boy…

[Bruce]: I….will be vengeance….

[Gomez]: Yes….

[Bruce]: I…I will be the night!

[Gomez]: Yes!

[Bruce]: I….I am an Addams!

[Gomez]: YES!

[Bruce]: I. AM. BATMAN. *lightning, thunder*

[Gomez]: YES, YES!!! My boy, the rivers will run red with wonderful blood!

[Alfred]: *sigh* I’ll put the tea on and grab the foils then, shall I, sirs?

I AM DECLARING THIS CANON.

HEADCANON ACCEPTED

@copperbadge

I mean when you think about it, if Bruce Wayne is an Addams, everything he does makes sense. Gotham makes sense. Damian Wayne, trained vegetarian assassin, makes more sense if he’s an Addams.  

Now that we have accepted this revelation, I want you all to think about a hypothetical situation in which Bruce brings Superman and Wonder Woman to meet the Addamses. 

Okay but consider: Cousin Dick bringing the alien ball of sunshine and positivity that is Starfire to meet the Addamses.

@thebibliosphere Because reasons

okay but Starfire is also a member of a Proud Warrior Race

she would gladly face Gomez in honourable combat, if nothing else

I would love an option for Ordis to give us mission updates instead of Lotus. It would be great to hear single robot space dad give his small operator child directions and updates while being aggressively, supportive about it.

Operator, the reactor is exposed! ~~LIGHT ‘EM UP~~ reinsert the fuel injector or place a coolent cell inside!

This is perfect

the fucked up thing about job interviews is that everybody Knows that youre just there because you need money to stay alive, everyone Knows that the companys interests are in your mind secondary at best to you having a home and not starving, but they still need to hear you beg and tell them how much The Company means to you and how great an opportunity it is to work for them its so masturbatory 

So here’s the thing. Job interviews are a two-way street.

From the company’s perspective, the purpose of a job interview is to find the person who’d be best for the position in all the ways that can’t be conveyed through a resume. The person who has the best technical skills for the job, for example, might be a slimeball who thinks nothing of alternately flirting with and threatening the secretary. Or they might be a hell of a micromanager in a job that really needs a more hands-off approach. Or … well, the hiring manager might have to hire someone for a job with an evil boss, and they need to make sure they’re getting someone who won’t leave on their first day.

The thing is, though, your perspective, the point of a job interview is to find the company that’d be best for you to work at, in the same intangible ways that can’t be conveyed by a job description. Is the business clean? Do the interviewers seem to respect you and the other people they’re working with? Are you the only member of your minority group on staff, and do other people’s reactions about that make you feel unsafe? You can’t tell that from a job description, or even a phone interview. You need to go into the office, look around, and get a feel for the place.

In a job interview, everyone’s on their best behaviour. They’re trying to figure out what you’re like at your best… but you’re trying to figure out what they’re like at their best. The way that a company treats you while you’re interviewing and while they’re offering you a job is likely to be the best they’re ever gonna treat you.

So, if during a job interview, a company makes you beg, if they seem less interested in assessing your skills and more interested in having you suck off their egoes… that’s the best they’re ever gonna treat you. It says a lot more about them than they meant to reveal. And it helps you make an informed decision about whether this company is a good enough place to work.
