miles “who’s morales” morales’s biggest weakness is the cover story

peter, lying out of his ass: i was, uh, married to his uncle aaron. he just never let you know

Jefferson, later: Do you think Aaron never told us because Peter’s…

Rio: …Tall

Jefferson: I didn’t think Aaron liked … Tall people.

Jefferson: “But listen: Aaron might have married a white boy just to annoy me, specifically. It’s a thing he would do!”

Rio: “I can’t hear you. I’m asleep.  I have a shift in four hours.”

I really wish there was a way Uncle Aaron lived and came back to meet his “husband” at some point now.

Aaron: …Miles…I love you, and I am proud of you…but you are somehow the smartest and dumbest boy I have ever known.

Miles: Says the man who used his big brain to become a criminal when he could’ve been a black Tony Stark with that gear he made. And thought working for the Kingpin, who everyone knows will throw his minions away like tissues, was a good idea!

Peter: He makes a good point, babe, you did kind of mess up first–

Aaron: Call me babe again and see what happens. I’ll whoop you with a collapsed lung.

you're out of your mind if hamas explicitly makes a statement about how they don't target and behead children (as western propaganda falsely claims) while on the other side you have israel proudly calling on live tv for genocide, dehumanizing palestinians (already having attacked lebanon, egypt, syria) and you STILL fall for the same type of shit USA pulled in 2003

here is how easily exploitable i am: my new job is letting me have my real name on my badge instead of making me use my legal name; when i was filling out my i-9 today, nobody blinked an eye at my documents (which all have my legal name on them). because of that, i am now kind of like "huh i guess i can't leave this place because what other hospital is going to be so accommodating"

like, obviously, the way to avoid this dilemma is to "just" get my name legally changed, but simply thinking of all of the processes involved (because i also have a nursing license to worry about on top of social security card, drivers license, etc) exhausts me - so if an employer will just let me use my preferred name, i will be extremely hesitant to leave

obviously, if i was truly enlightened, i'd just use my birth name and not blink when people asked "uh…isn't that a girl's name?"

[id: graffiti on the base of a concrete overpass where previous grafiti has been covered over with gray paint multiple times. In black all-caps handwriting, it reads: "What kind of paint are you using to paint over this? Because if it is latex, its probably way too cold for it, you want good adhesion, you need like at least 40°-45°. Maybe wait till it warms up a little, I mean what's the big rush? Like, I'm in a rush now but our situations are different" /end id]

I don’t like knights in the “glorifying a military police force as symbols of power, wealth, and tradition” way. I like knights in the “cult of chivalry and psychological fallout of raising sons to die like their fathers for a king they’ll never meet” way but also in a “swords and armor symbolic of the heaviness and impermanence of manhood” way.
