A weird poll but:

Do you believe #batman stories have been honest about bruce's and Batman's socio-economical impact on #Gotham City?

I would love to read why you think either way(s) :

"The late Greek Erôtes ("Loves", "Forms of Desire", "Affairs of the Heart"), preserved with manuscripts by Lucian, contains a debate "between two men, Charicles and Callicratidas, over the relative merits of women and boys as vehicles of male sexual pleasure." Callicratidas, "far from being effeminised by his sexual predilection for boys... Callicratidas's inclination renders him hypervirile... Callicratidas's sexual desire for boys, then, makes him more of a man; it does not weaken or subvert his male gender identity but rather consolidates it." In contrast, "Charicles' erotic preference for women seems to have had the corresponding effect of effeminising him: when the reader first encounters him, for example, Charicles is described as exhibiting 'a skillful use of cosmetics, so as to be attractive to women.'""

Interesting...

I had an inkling about this. Is the CEO #birdsite job an #ElonMuck scapegoat set-up?

I gotta say it. With the help of RW media and Big Tech, Republican parents are raising a generation of sociopaths. All of the leaders in their movement - political, religious & otherwise - are teaching them that absolutely nothing matters except gaining & preserving power for Republicans.

Touchstones like citizenship, service, honor, tradition, facts, truth, faith, and family are malleable or disposable without consequence *if & when* they are in conflict with the pursuit of power. #politics

My earliest memories are of being a puppy

Sorry I can't hang out tonight, I'm naming my pet leeches after rare constellations.

I saw a rubber chicken in the middle of the street this morning.
We'll never know for sure why it tried to cross the road, but I bet it was for a laugh

As some of you may recall, I started offering mobile wallpaper as a win-win way to get something fun and support what I do in lieu of a Ko-Fi and all that. The first two haven't been runaway hits per se but there's been enough interest to think it's a fair idea to continue to add more options. ❤️

So I hope you might enjoy seeing the latest choice!

I believe in trans unity. Trans women and transfems have been almost universally kind to me, and I believe that we are natural allies with a lot in common. #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #transgender #trans #TransUnity

Tankies love to say shit like "yaoi will be banned under socialism" and then act all confused when other leftists don't like them.

Found a lost pair of socks that have been missing since the dawn of time. They were stuck in a cosmic wormhole behind the dryer.
