bruce banner has 7 phds? thats so excessive.. if i met someone with 7 phds i would honestly just be like wtf is wrong with you? its not even the fact that it would take so much time and effort to get them its that there is literally no situation where 7 phds is necessary. thats never gonna happen. hes honestly gotta be so stupid to think for some reason he needs 7 phds.
this reads like a bitter scientist who is very jealous of dr bruce banner
this was ghostwritten by hank pym
Bruce Banner was broke as shit but really good at getting graduate assistantships/scholarships (less good at getting Real World Jobs) so he just went from PhD to PhD for like a decade, just churning out dissertations while weeping and muttering under his breath “i have no real-world skills i have no real-world skills i hAVE NO REAL WORLD SKILLS AAAAAAAHHH”
I guess that’s why he has anger issues. I can understand what so many years in academia has done to Dr. Banner.
Whenever he needs to hulk out he just thinks about his student loans.

I’ll never forget when my 8th grade English teacher wouldn’t let a girl go to the bathroom and he saw the tampon in her hand and goes “oh so you were trying eat candy with out sharing with the rest of us, go ahead open it and share with everyone” and she looked so embarrassed so she responds with “I can’t open it now and share the candy because it’s a tampon for my bleeding vagina” and my teacher just stared at her in horror as she left the room.
Realigning for the tampon story
Back when I was in high school, one time some boys in my class did a presentation on “the innate differences between boys and girls”, and near the end the girls and the boys in the class each had to nominate someone for a secret thing. The girls picked me.
Then they made me arm wrestle the dude who got picked by the boys.
And guess what? I won, because at the time I was rock climbing and doing martial arts and playing tennis almost every day of the week, and that thoroughly wrecked the presentation’s conclusion, which was supposed to be “boys are stronger than girls and that’s just a fact” and these dudes didn’t know how to recover from me smashing that expectation.
It’s still one of my proudest moments.
Sitting the Biology HSC and I will never forget having to go to the front of the room where our bags were and pull out a pad in front of everyone in the hall because the examiner wouldn’t let me do it discreetly cause he thought I was gonna cheat.

To put it plainly, Jewish law allows for abortion. For the first 40 days of gestation, a fetus is considered “mere fluid” (Talmud Yevamot 69b), and the fetus is regarded as part of the mother for the duration of the pregnancy. It is not considered to have the status of personhood until birth; the Mishnah (Ohalot 7:6) teaches that if the mother’s life is in danger from the pregnancy, even in labor, the fetus may be sacrificed to save her life, unless the baby’s head has already emerged. Only then, according to Rashi (Talmud Sanhedrin 72b), is the fetus or baby considered to be a nefesh, a soul. Elsewhere, the Mishnah (Arachin 1:4) teaches that “If a [pregnant] woman is about to be executed, they do not wait for her until she gives birth. But if she had already sat on the birthstool, they wait for her until she gives birth.” Birth, not gestation, is the critical marker, here.
This body of literature, needless to say, comes in stark and striking contrast to arguments that life—and personhood—begins at conception.
Interestingly, many Christian communities derive their prooftexts against permitting abortion from the Hebrew Bible, like verses about God forming humans in the womb (Psalm 139:13, Jeremiah 1:5, Isaiah 44:24)—texts which don’t even register in the Jewish legal conversation on this topic. To put it simply, we don’t derive matters of Jewish law from Psalms. - Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg
I’d like to point out too, since that thing about executing a pregnant woman sounds pretty brutal, that Jewish law places EXTREME limitations on the death penalty. The burden of proof is much higher than in many cases— you’d need 23 judges and two witnesses who could demonstrate that the defendant was explicitly warned that what they were doing was a capital offense, and proceeded anyway. If the verdict was too fast or was unanimous, it’d be taken as a sign of bias and they’d automatically acquit. The rabbis said that a court that executes more than one person in a generation would be considered a gang of murderers. Rabbis Akiva and Tarfon boasted that they if they had been on the court, being brilliant legal scholars, they could have found a way to acquit anyone.
tl;dr Judaism is really and truly pro-life in the sense of actually valuing life

The above video titled “The Unequal Opportunity Race” was screened as part of a schoolwide Black History Month program at Glen Allen High School in Glen Allen, Virginia. Some parents apparently weren’t thrilled about that. One local grandparent had two words for what this video was pushing on white kids.
White people don’t like it when you put their privilege on display.
This makes it hard for them to pretend there’s no such thing.(via polkadotpeaches)

Poor child has to suffer cause his dad is an asshole who didn’t let his baby mama have an abortion. This is why we need to talk more about reproductive justice
Am I supposed to feel bad for someone who practically forced a woman to carry a growing human inside her for nine months and then give birth against her will?

Severus Snape once intended to publicly kill a student’s pet as punishment for getting a potion wrong
Severus Snape, a teacher of children, took a 13 YEAR OLD’S PET and TRIED TO POISON IT and then proceeded to PUNISH THE STUDENT because the pet didn’t die
Severus Snape is a whiny, petty, self-absorbed abusive piece of shit there is no arguement here
I’m not saying this isn’t true, but what book is this in?
Prisoner of Azakaban. During their first potions lesson, Neville misbrews a shrinking solution. As punishment, Snape says he’ll feed Nevill’e incorrect potion to his toad, Trevor, and that the potion will be a poison and kill his pet.
Hermione helps him correct his potion, and when Trevor doesn’t die, Snape takes 5 points from Hermione
Reminder also that Trevor was a gift to Neville from his Uncle for getting into Hogwarts- a feat none of his family thought possible because he wasn’t “magic enough”.
So to him, Trevor is more than just a pet, he’s a reminder that he is a wizard and that his family are proud of him- and Snape wanted to kill him because he got a potion wrong i.e- because he wasn’t “magic enough”
Severus snape is an irredeemable piece of shit idc what anyone else says the truth is there

deadpool is honestly more wholesome than any of the mcu movies
Explain
ok so
- Doesn’t straightwash queer characters! this was a big one. (marvel movies have a huge problem with straightwashing*)
- Deadpool is canonically pansexual, and the movies reflect this! Reynolds doesn’t shy away at all from Deadpool’s sexual interest in men.
- (head injuries bring out deadpool’s romantic sexy feelings it seems. in the first movie, knife to the head = romantic montage with vanessa. in the sequel, fencepost to the head = deadpool sensually trying to go down on Colossus.)
- (semi-related, both movies have some cute references to deadpool enjoying being on the receiving end in the bedroom.)
- (yeah, it’s canon, Deadpool enjoys being pegged)
- Oh hey, a healthy romantic relationship based on mutual respect and love! and with a fully developed female character with personal agency! A love interest who doesn’t just function as a plot device.
- POLAR OPPOSITE OF TOXIC MASCULINITY. This really shines through in their marketing
- (yes that pillows says “FEMINIST”)
- (yes that is deadpool in heels dancing to celine dion)
- Diverse casting! Characters who are poc just because poc exist!
- Hey look, a cute lesbian couple treated with respect and one of them’s asian!
- Holy crap i don’t say this enough but i love Domino. What a badass. Sexy-but-not-sexualized black female action hero who is probably the coolest person in the movie.
- Deadpool 2 took a run-of-the-mill white character design and made her interesting!
- Her trademark eye patch is now vitiligo! She has awesome natural hair. And look, body hair exists! On a person who is a woman! Which shouldn’t be unusual, but here we are. Also, she’s fun
- Portrayed by the talented Zazie Beetz. Did I mention how much i love this character?
- Oh look, another much improved character design!
- We’ve got your humdrum blondie cleft-chin stereotype replaced with a heavyset maori teen actor (Julian Dennison, who incidentally was in Taika Waititi’s indie movie Hunt for the Wilderpeople).
- Overall themes: The movies have a lot of dirty humor and innuendo. But the overall takeaway is actually pretty sentimental. The Deadpool 2 themes in particular gets to me:
- Not repeating the mistakes of the previous generation. “Kids give us a chance of being better than we used to be.”
- The loss and recovery of family. Accepting friendship in the midst of tragedy. See also: Cable’s story arc.
- Letting go of loss and bitterness to try to save a child who’s been abandoned by the world.
- I’m honestly so excited about the choices the director & producers have been making for this franchise. They’re setting the narrative standard for modern superhero films. Can’t wait to see what the next movie has in store.
*see more on straightwashing in the mcu below
chaotic good
Deadpool 2 is also pretty explicitly no-holds-barred criticism of foster care abuse, child abuse in churches, homophobia, and the way sexual assault is ignored. Deadpool 2 gave all of the fucks and was not afraid to let everyone know.
