Batman has gone to great lengths to create the persona of “Bruce Wayne, upper class twit who could never be Batman.”
If Batman walked into the middle of Gotham Square and pulled off his mask and yelled “I, Bruce Wayne, am Batman!” The Headline would be “Bruce Wayne gets drunk at costume party, driven home by Commissioner James Gordon.”
And on that ride home:
Gordon: You are such a piece of shit you know that right? One of these days that’s not gonna work.
Bruce: *With the biggest shit eating grin ever* I know Jim, but it never stops being funny.
Gordon: So…. out of curiosity, how much money did Ollie lose to you this time?
Bruce: A gentleman never tells Jim, besides, its not about the money, its about the satisfaction of being right….. and the look on his face.
Gordon: Nice.
and you just know Alfred has a veritable host of “embarrassing early morning bruce” pics and video raring to go, like after a “skiing accident” to cover up a particularly nasty bat-injury in the line of duty
“I’m fine Alfred.”
“If you are, then prove it by putting on your socksies by your self.”
(source is Harley Quinn season 2, episode 5, but I can see this as part of Dave Willis’ “Happy Bruce” headcanon
I think the villain reactions would be priceless as well.
Two Face: Look I was friends with Bruce for years. He’s a nice guy, but doesn’t have the brains God gave a fiddler crab. He’s not Batman.
Riddler: I can confirm this. I took him and his board of directors hostage once. He tried to write me a check and got the check wrong. Four. Times. He had to ask his guy Lucius Fox to do it. It was just plain awkward for everyone involved.
Poison Ivy: Bruce is what we in the business call a Himbo, great to look at, a real sweetheart, but not much going on upstairs. I guarantee he’s not Batman.
Penguin: I’ve had Bruce Wayne as a guest at the Iceberg lounge before. Nice guy, excellent tipper, complete and utter moron. If he’s Batman I’ll eat my umbrella.
Joker: What? Oh yea of course Bruce Wayne is Batman. I mean obviously right?
Rest of the villains:……
Joker: Wait, you mean you guys didn’t know? I figured it out like the first day.
Penguin: You…. you’re joking right.
Joker: Penguin you will KNOW when I am joking. Seriously. No one else figured it out. No one. Just me. You guys are dumbasses.
Riddler: *Pinches bridge of nose* Okay…. so if Bruce Wayne is Batman, and you KNEW this the whole time, why not just KILL BRUCE WAYNE?
Joker: *As serious as a heart attack* because I’m not fighting Bruce Wayne, I’m fighting Batman. Obviously.
Riddler: Goddammit I hate you so much Joker. So fucking much. I can literally taste how much I hate you.
“Don’t just throw ripped jeans away, you can repair them using these 10 cute Visible Mending techniques!!” unfortunately my friend the first point of failure for every single pair of jeans i have owned in my life has been the Crotch and Ass. Knees: fine, cuffs: fine; but 3 years in, and all that stands between the world and my astronaut-patterned taint is 0.5µm of denim worn so thin that every squat threatens to tear it to shreds like wet toilet paper. If the Tiktok craft community could figure out a way to resurrect jeans afflicted in such a way that doesn’t involve adding a whole ass buttpatch like some sort of inverse assless chaps situation then that’d be great
May I recommend the sashiko family of techniques? I’m not sure if you’ve seen this particular method but it’s one that is likely thousands of years old and is especially good for areas like the inseam or the knees that generally get more wear than other regions:
Many of the visible mending hacks one sees are designed to be aesthetic and not structural, as OP points out, but this technique is different:
1) you’ll notice that the mended area is larger than the actual damage. All of the stitched area indicates where additional fabric is added for strength.
2) the pattern of visible stitching is PRACTICAL in this work. The reason pants wear down along the inseam is that the fabric is constantly being rubbed against the other leg. Here, the stitching is what’s rubbing against itself, and the embroidery will fail first, meaning the fabric underneath will last longer.
3) this technique is very, very simple once you draw your grid, and there are plenty of places online that sell water soluble graph paper that you can sew into as a guide and then wash out.
Please please please don’t give up on home sewing and mending because of content farms - I promise there’s a whole world of incredibly simple and reliable techniques that - while perhaps time consuming - are PROVEN to increase the longevity of your clothes AND give you further opportunities to express your creativity and style!!!
I may have said this on another branch of this post, but if the ass and crotch of your jeans wear out super fast, check how you’re wearing your pants.
The waistband of your jeans should be parallel to the ground - that means wearing your waistband so it goes around your belly, and the waistband rests roughly at your bellybutton.
There is a tendency, especially with cis fat dudes, to wear your pants so the waistband goes under your belly. This will cause your pants to wear out faster bc the fabric bunches up in the crotch and abrades against itself.
You’re not wrong but fat + belt + possible binder or bra = cannot fucking breathe :(
Let me introduce you, my friend, to the wonderful world of ✨️suspenders✨️.

I don’t like belts either, but I’m not gonna wear out the crotch of my pants super fast.
!!!!! I actually am gearing up to make a pair of suspenders (because I’m poor but do have Materials), and some sock garters because of Sensory Sock Experience reasons, and other such quality of life doodads. I’ve been procrastinating for a bit but this lil’ push has me hyped up to work on em again. Thank you!!!
They’re actually pretty cheap to buy tbh, probably cheaper than they are to make unless you already have the parts! My most expensive pair of suspenders were my rainbow ones, and they were less than $20. The plain ones were about $10. I wear them almost every day; I have 3 pairs, and that’s honestly more than I really need. I could probably get by with one sturdy pair.
I do suggest getting suspenders that are at least 1.5" wide if you’re using them for actually holding up your pants. 1" suspenders cut into my shoulders and I found them uncomfortable. I prefer a 2" suspender, but anything less than 1.5" becomes actively uncomfortable.
Gentrification creates a stifling homogeneity in urban areas that makes it less suited for the everyday lives of the lower class and more suited towards the leisure and tourism of those with expendable income.
An old, decrepit laundromat gets replaced by an upscale bakery? And people are mad? It’s not that the poor hate organic vegan cupcakes, it’s that most of us don’t have a way to do laundry in our own home.
Run-down corner stores replaced by hand-made designer clothing boutiques? We don’t hate your eco-fabric shawl, but I can’t eat that for dinner after work like I could have a can of beans I grabbed from that corner store when I don’t have time to take the bus to the real grocery store after work.
What gentrification brings in and of itself is not typically bad, it’s that gentrification brings institutions of leisure and pleasure and makes it so that the poor have to go farther out of their way for basic necessities. It turns low-income living spaces into local tourist attractions. It can even create food deserts by putting restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in that the majority of the lower class cannot afford.
Imagine if someone totally renovated your house and turned it into a mini theme park - they took away your sleeping space, where you prepare food, where you clean yourself and get ready for your day, and replaced it with things that will please people who are visiting, who have their own homes they can go back to, who are here not for their entire life but just as a distraction from their otherwise mundane existence. It’s not that you hate theme parks, it’s not like you’ve never been to a theme park and vow to never visit one again. It’s just that you need to live! To survive! And the leisure of those who have more than you should not invalidate your existence.
I am glad this has made the rounds. Some people feel a dense misunderstanding or misinterpretation concerning gentrification, and I think it helps to hear a description/explanation of what gentrification is from those who are both affected by it and educated by the culture from which it hails. I and many others enjoy some of the delights of gentrification while simultaneously having their livelihoods threatened by it.

[ID: A Gravity Falls comic drawn very on-model to the show. Young Soos, kneeling with Mystery Shack, looks up and asks, “What happened on that birthday?” Stan says seriously, “The worst possible thing…” He puts a hand on a wide-eyed Soos’s shoulder and reveals, “…I only got one cake!”
Soos squints at him disbelievingly, then bats a smiling Stan away with amusement and exclaims, “That’s silly! What’s the real reason?” Stan grins and laughs. “What?” He settles beside Soos, who’s now smiling, and says, “That’s definitely the reason.”
His next narration continues through layers of dirt and rock below the floor. “Imagine… getting two cakes your whole life…” Finally, the earth gives way to Ford’s extremely dim underground lab and the broken portal. “…only to suddenly end up with one.” End ID]
In the one hundred fifty days after October 7, Israel killed thirty-one thousand Palestinians, injured seventy-two thousand, displaced 1.7 million, and razed or damaged more than half of Gaza’s buildings. Joe Biden sent over one hundred weapons shipments to Israel during the same stretch. In a recent classified briefing, US officials told members of Congress that the Biden administration approved and delivered more than one hundred separate weapons sales to Israel in the one hundred fifty days after October 7, “amounting to thousands of precision-guided munitions, small diameter bombs, bunker busters, small arms and other lethal aid,” the Washington Post reported on Wednesday. That works out to one new arms deal every thirty-six hours, on average.
Don’t drink the koolaid. While the hundreds of thousands of reservists out of work would and has impacted the economy, it’s not solely or even largely responsible for Israel’s economy shrinking by 20%

hi, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you tell me a few ways a person who doesn't experience chronic pain/disability can provide eCPR for someone who does?
No. Unfortunately I know nothing about this subject and am thus not at all qualified to answer your question. Sorry to disappoint!
ECPR requires a specific machine and is not performed by the average person, or ever really done outside of very specific situations in hospitals. If you mean emergency CPR, that’s just referred to as CPR because any situation where you need to do compressions is considered an emergency, and as mentioned, ECPR is an actual thing with an entirely different process.
That said, I’ve taken CPR certification a few times, and I also work with people who are disabled. At the end of the day CPR on a disabled person or person who has chronic pain is really the same as CPR on anyone else. The only difference is if someone is in a chair you need to get them out and laying on the ground, and if someone is in a bed you lay them down flat. CPR is not something you can ease up on unless the person receiving it is a child or infant, because it takes a lot of force to restart an adult human’s heart using compressions. It will hurt, ribs will break, it’s kind of unavoidable, and that’s why you only use CPR if someone’s heart has stopped. (If they’re not breathing but still have a pulse you use rescue breaths, which is different and less damaging.) You unfortunately cannot modify CPR so that it can be done more while in a chair or sitting up, you must get the person lying on the ground and perform it as normal, or else you’re risking the compressions not being powerful enough to work.
CPR is a life-saving measure and under the good samaratin law, someone performing CPR cannot be prosecuted for injuries as a result of performing compressions as in situations where someone is injured and unconscious, consent to first aid is always assumed. That said, if you’re really worried about it, take a first aid and CPR course for more information on performing it properly.
Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.
I recently had surgery, and at the time I came home, I had both my cat and one of my grandma’s cats staying with me.
- Within hours of surgery, I wake up from a nap to my cat gently sniffing at my incisions with great alarm.
- I was not allowed to shower the first day after surgery, and the cats, seeing that The Large Cat is not observing its cleaning ritual, decided I must be gravely disabled and compensated by licking all the exposed skin on my arms, face, and legs.
- I currently have to sleep with a pillow over my abdomen because my cat insists on climbing on top of me and covering my incisions with her body while I sleep (which is very sweet but not exactly comfortable without the pillow). She also lays across me facing my bedroom door, presumably on guard for attackers who may try to harm me while I’m sleeping and injured.
if you see this, you are now and forever completely immune from every single “it’s the first of the month, use this sound or something bad will happen to you” post and every variation of it. those posts aren’t real. nothing bad will happen to you as a result of not using those sounds. i promise.

who is even pulling bitches by being autistic the bitches hate my autism
the bitches have texted me “sometimes I think you don’t have feelings” and “your kindness feels fake because you never smile at me” the bitches are not pleased with my autism in the slightest
the bitches have yelled at me for being clueless or not understanding what they’re saying under the idea that I don’t care the bitches have been saying that I make no effort at all to be kind when they’re down when I have very often asked what I should be doing best to help and changed my behavior accordingly the bitches are telling me that I am the unfair one for pointing these things out and that I make them feel like monsters the bitches are now surprised and upset that I don’t like them as much anymore and saying that actually them being reprimanding to me is normal the bitches hate me so bad but they won’t admit it they’ll keep saying no I love you but everything you do makes me upset. and I can’t help it but see something to agree in that anyway. because I genuinely have a consideration for your opinion. I could still be the villain here this whole time and I am constantly trying to find ways to make people happy or to at the very least not disappoint them completely as soon as they get close enough to me to realize that I am not the person they want to talk to
If KOSA is passed, my parents will be able to see every single thing I do on the internet, including what I say to my friends, what I read, what I write, the fact that I have a romantic partner, etc.
I will need to censor my own words to prevent being sent to an all girls boarding school, being unable to reach my friends, and being unable to speak freely with my brother.
This will effectively strip me of any support system I have.
This is dangerous and will cause many deaths in many family’s, many due to hate crime, and many due to suicide.
Once my boyfriend told me: “You’re not a burden. A burden is something you’re forced to carry against your will. I freely choose to be a part of your life and that means you aren’t a burden to me.” I’m passing it on in case some of you need to be reminded of that.
