IT’S BECAUSE OSHA REGULATIONS! A SINGLE PERSON IS NOT ALLOWED TO LIFT MORE THAN FIFTY POUNDS! BAGGAGE HANDLERS ARE PEOPLE! YOU PAY MORE FOR HEAVY BAGS BECAUSE THE HANDLERS ARE SUPPOSED TO USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM TO LIFT THOSE! IF THE TOTAL WEIGHT MATTERED SO MUCH, PASSENGERS WOULD GET WEIGHED, BUT WE DONT QUESTION THAT NOW DO WE?
Seeing biblical teachings being reversed into conservative teachings is one of the funniest things holy shit. Like this makes it painfully clear that Jesus taught the exact opposite of all these things yet conservatives in the US wanna call themselves “men of god”.
“You smell of death and destiny; heroics and heartbreak.” “It’s onion.”
Freshman year of college I was in a philosophy class and I was giving some sort of group presentation. The prof asked my group “what do you think is your purpose in life?” And none of them really had an answer while I just said “to make the world a better place for those who come after us” because in my mind that’s just the obvious answer. The prof looked kind of taken aback that I just had an answer on the ready and was like “Why? What’s your motivation?”
In that moment I realized I was in front of a lecture hall of privileged students. I was surrounded by people who didn’t know poverty or desperation like I had. I clawed my way here on scholarships while they were legacy kids or trust fund babies. In that moment it clicked in my head that there’s this level of empathy that you can only gain when you have absolutely nothing to lose. A level of empathy that only the impoverished have. A level of empathy that screams out that you have to fight to make things better even if it doesn’t benefit you. It’s a concept that you can only really grasp when you have nothing to lose and the kids before me hadn’t known that pain. They hadn’t developed that kind of empathy.
My only answer that I could give the prof was “Why wouldn’t I?”
A level of empathy that screams out that you have to fight to make things better even if it doesn’t benefit you.
all the angry rich people in the notes:
also to all the people who are arguing that class privilege has nothing to do with empathy, studies show that richer people have less empathy
i know u dont like to listen to us commoners but… lmao
oh this one of them good posts where the basic message is “treat people better” and this causes the most controversy

scott lang, completely misunderstanding peter parker’s power: hey if u want man we could get tiny and just like hang out, i don’t know if you’ve ever been in a lego castle but it’s pretty sweet
peter parker: u have no idea how much physical pain having to turn this offer down is causing me but,
Scott Lang, upon realizing Peter Parker can’t shrink: oh okay no biggee, we’ll just make the LEGO castle big
Peter, ready to cry from joy: do you like Star Wars? Because I have a replica… and my friend Ned and I got it to fly…
Scott Lang, a mechanical engineer and nerd: kid you are my people
Tony, calling peter: …and may I know WHY THE HELL IS SHIELD CALLING ME ABOUT A LIFE-SIZED DEATH STAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT?!
Peter: we didn’t want it to crush any buildings so we brought it out here!
Tony: THATS N O T MY POINT!!!
It got better!
I was gonna SAY, Tony would fly out there, look at the thing, and go…. No, this isn’t life size. Impressive though. Okay, bugs, put on these helmets, we’re taking this into orbit and doing this at 1:1 scale.
Sam: Barnes is gonna make an awesome Chewbacca.
Bucky: -.-
Guardians arriving back in Earth orbit for a visit: Rocket : When the **** did Earth get another moon? Peter Qull (with an indescribable look on his face, but knowing his entire life has built to this moment): That’s no moon!
(so this face?)

Tonight A Charlie Brown Christmas airs at 8pm EST on ABC, so I thought it was time to reblog this classic from sarahj-art.
Reblog = endorsement
I also love the hell out of this gif.
supervillains fucking hate fighting the x-men because the teams change constantly and sometimes there are??? totally new people there???? fuck there’s a teenager who literally just has eyes all over his body. is he even technically a superhero yet or is he a student. who the fuck knows. how do we counter this shit
When one seems completely non-mutated and they’re like
And no matter which team it is, Wolverine is there. Is it the future? Wolverine is there. Is it an alternate reality? Wolverine is there. Is Wolverine dead? Wolverine is there.
Was Wolverine never born in this alternate reality? Wolverine is there.
Does Wolverine only exist as a non corporeal spirit? Wolverine is there.
Is Wolverine only a philosophical construct used to explain our place in an uncaring universe? Wolverine is there.
Is Wolverine only a theological concept used to explain mankind’s struggle against the universe? Wolverine is there.
Is Wolverine there? Another Wolverine is also there.
And let’s not forget when the villains just switch sides. Last week this guy was on your side now he’s next to Wolverine and kicking your ass.
The only constant is Wolverine.
There are three constants in life: death, taxes, and Wolverine.
Is it "Happy Impeachment" or "Merry Impeachment"? I don't wanna offend anyone.

So I’m watching this voice acting documentary on Netflix, “I Know That Voice,” and it’s really good anyway and y'all should watch it.
But they have Kevin Conroy on and they’re into a section about being recognized out in public and Conroy tells this story.
He lives in NYC apparently, and after the 9/11 attacks he helped out making meals for people (in a soup kitchen type thing, I’m gathering).
So one day one guy comes up to him and says, “You know I’m a construction worker in my day job. What do you do?”
And Conroy tells him that he does voice acting.
And the guy gets all excited, like, “I knew it! You're that Kevin Conroy, you’re Batman!”
And the guy went out into the dining area and just announced to all of the people there, “You know who’s been cooking your dinner? Batman.”
The room went completely quiet and eventually some guy at the far end of the room called out, “Bullshit! Make him prove it!”
So Kevin fucking Conroy just stood in the fucking kitchen and did the, “I am vengeance. I am the night! I am Batman!” line.
And the guy was like, “Holy shit it IS Batman!” and everyone cheered.
And the guy who originally approached Conroy came back to him to tell him, “How does it feel to be Santa Claus? 'Cause that’s what you just did.”
And that’s one of the best Batman stories I’ve ever heard.
This is the batmaniest thing to ever batman.
Awww so sweet I need to see!
In which WTF is the MCU doing to Peter Parker
