propose to him with the worst fucking ring you can possibly get your hands on. like not a half-assed, "oh you won't like anything I get anyway," passive-aggression ring, that is not the play, you need to do your research and take some interest in the things that matter to your enemy future husband and really learn about like, the gemstone cuts or whatever, and then you need to get him the most eye-catching ring you can find that would also be completely offensive to his overdeveloped sensibilities. He's putting in all this effort to bribe the cat to bite you, it's the least you could do to step it up in response.

Okay, so I've read the Spider-man: Across the Spider-verse artbook, and there is this fantastic passage on Earth-42 that gives context to the dimension, Miles G., Uncle Aaron and the Sinister Six.

“Miles comes face to face with a parallel world version of his own in Earth-42 – an alternate reality where he never gained superpowers and where his Uncle Aaron is still alive. “We wanted to craft this moment where Miles encounters this powerful figure in his life that he loved so much and he lost," says director Justin K. Thompson. “That's when he realizes that he is not really in his own dimension, as well as the gravity of what he has lost. In this reality, Aaron has had to shake off his life of crime and became a surrogate father figure to Miles.”

The artists changed Uncle Aaron's outward appearance to reflect this new reality and convey how he has changed. The Uncle Aaron of Earth-42 has a little gray in his beard. His clothing still has the old “cool streetwear” vibe, but he has a more sophisticated and older look. In this alternate reality, the Sinister Six have been able to flourish and take over the world. “We wanted to create a world where it felt like Aaron and Miles G. Morales [this reality counterpart to Miles Morales] are the only heroes.”

It's a much darker version of Miles' original home. So, we looked at comic book artists who epitomized that sort of noirish world - artists like Frank Miller, Sean Gordon Murphy, John Polygon, where there is heavy use of black and colors sort of recede behind the dark shadows. The powerless version of Miles is still capable and efficient and has great acrobatic and physical prowess. We also needed Miles to feel trapped in this dark world. We wanted to leave the audience with the burning question: ‘How is he going to get home?’ It was just exciting to see the development of this world to underscore all of these narrative choices we were making.”

“So if little girls experience their menstrual cycle in 5th grade or 4th grade, will that prohibit conversations from them since they are in the grade lower than sixth grade?” asked state Rep. Ashley Gantt, a Democrat who taught in public schools and noted that girls as young as 10 can begin having periods.


“It would,” McClain responded.

Unbelievable. Link to article.

The first ever suicide prevention hotline was created in 1935 bevause a man conducted a funeral for a 14 year old girl who ended her life because she got her period. She didn't know what it was and assumed it was a STD. Learning about periods and sexual health is life saving. Republicans are unapologetically just evil.

You know, here's a thing: I went to Catholic school from age 5 to age 16. (My family's not Christian, but the local public schools weren't great, so -- )

In 4th grade, girls were given a clear, scientific, extremely bland pamphlet about menstruation. It was Boring and Educational. There wasn't any class about it or anything -- just the pamphlet, provided in a plain manila envelope for you to take home.

Starting in 5th grade, the school provided a small pack of pads to girls. This was probably so that anyone who unexpectedly started her period at school would have an emergency supply, but the thing was: this boring pamphlet, this pack of pads handed to you by a nun, made menstruation...so normal. It's so normal that a nun hands you a pack of pads. It's so normal that there's a boring pamphlet. It's just a thing your body does. (It's so normal that you realize, oh, nuns have periods, huh.)

It kills me, KILLS ME, that this totally boring and bland form of education about human bodies is somehow Too Much, Too Scary, Too Sexy, for some people.

SON: May I speak?
MOTHER: You may not.
SON: But I have just cause to do so.
MOTHER: But you do not have the right.
SON: I can tell you have vex coursing through your veins at this point in time, mother, but I want you to know that what I did was a lesson that needed to be taught.
MOTHER: And pray tell, you forlorn fledgling, what lesson is learnt by breaking your brother’s tablet?
SON: That the world is cruel, harsh, savage -
MOTHER: Those adjectives are best suited for you, brood of mine.
SON: Speak louder, mother, my ears are burning.
MOTHER: Oh, continue your teachings, boy, I’m finding them most enthralling.
SON: As I was saying before I was so abruptly heckled, the world is meant for teachings of desolation. Whether the lesson be taught by the almighty hand of fate, some supreme being, or by someone who didn’t want their essence taken by a camera.
MOTHER: Ha!
SON: The seminar that I indoctrinated was an important one, mother.
MOTHER: Are you talking about ‘this’ picture?
SON: How on earth did you get that?
MOTHER: The cloud that me and your brother share knows all. It was saved onto our family Billo before you terminated the tablet…
Oh, no, boy, this shall remain with this family forever as a constant reminder of your wrongdoings unto your brother.
SON: I performed wrongdoings unto him?! … Inverse that statement, mother, then you have the truth in front of you!
MOTHER: He wronged you?
SON: HE LAUGHED AT MY DISTORTED IMAGE.
MOTHER: Me and your father laughed heartily at it too, boy.
SON: Father knows?!
MOTHER: Father knows, yes … and he has already started the shipment of Christmas cards.
SON: AHH! You’re showing the masses?
MOTHER: Be grateful that I did not show them the annihilated tablet. Let that fall on the noble men and women who are trying to right the wrongs that you performed unto the tablet, your brother, and your kinsfolk.
SON: If they restore it, I shall lay it to waste once again.
MOTHER: Then the image shall be sent for birthdays.
SON: AND AGAIN!
MOTHER: THE JUBILEE!
SON: AAND AGAIN!!
MOTHER: AT THE RRRAPTURE!
SON: There won’t be laughing amongst the assemblage, mother!
MOTHER: Oh?
SON: There will be charges brought amongst you for mistreating a minor!
MOTHER: There shall be laughing, boy, and perhaps I should start now, don’t you agree? Ah-ha, yes, very good!
SON: Discontinue!
MOTHER: Yes, yes, very amusing, yes!
SON: CONCLUDE THIS!
MOTHER: Ha Ha! The mirth I am experiencing is considerable in size.
SON: CEEEAAAASSSE!!!

SON: Stop laughing!
MOTHER: Sorry, you are very bad for breaking you brother’s iPad.
SON: But he made me look stupid.
MOTHER: It does look a bit funny though.
SON: MUUMM!
