A rather blinding poster urging people to keep their tenement neighborhoods clean in order to promote better living conditions, 1936-1937. The text reads "Help your neighborhood by keeping your premises clean. Tenement House Department of the City of New York." By an unknown member of the Federal Art Project.

Something I love about Spider-Man as a character: even if there's no big villain to fight, he's still a hero.

On days when there's no crime at all, he's out helping someone carry their groceries or giving directions to someone who's lost. He doesn't need anything negative to fight; he's just actively trying to make the world a safer, kinder, better place. That's what makes him a hero.

this school really deserves its impending doom bcs management is soooo tone deaf “but why do our students choose to go to uni in their own city and out of the 2 they choose the non russell group one why aren’t we doing something to support them to aim higher 🤔” could it possibly be that this school is in one of the most deprived areas of the city/nationwide and thats a significant factor affecting academic achievement so students default to the uni w lower entry requirements theyre likely to get into? or maybe that our predominantly immigrant students and their families don’t share the culture of moving out and living independently at 18? that their immigration status and overseas qualifications affect their entry requirements ? that many of them are responsible for their families and don’t want to leave them? that its more affordable to stay home and not be in even more debt by taking out a maintenance loan to stay alive? the girls who aren’t allowed to leave home before marriage? what a truly confounding phenomenon that our students don’t go to a russell group uni it must be a very bad look that we get 90% students in higher education or formal training after college but not the ‘best’ choice. But what do i know i guess !

CW: graphic violence, sexual violence

It's been over a year since the end of S2, and the TL fandom is posting (and tolerating) acute, detailed calls to violence against Nathan Shelley.

This fandom, as a culture, accepts and entertains violent, graphic fantasies against Nathan.

There are real people whose experiences parallel Nathan's. There are real people who look like Nathan. There is one person in particular who looks exactly like Nathan, and who this fandom has given reason to fear being recognized.

Do you think it makes any of those real people (particularly the last one) feel good or safe to read shit like, "Defending Ted Lasso Online Isn't Enough. I Need a Gun. watch your back nate"?

Or "SOMEONE PLEASE BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA NATE. WANT THAT FUCKER TO HAVE NO FUCKING TEETH!"

Or "i hope nate gets hit by a truck"?

Or "me if i ever ran into nate *gif of a dog holding a man's head underwater*"

What about "I just finished Ted Lasso and apparently I wanna strangle Nate with electrical wire until he passes out, he'll wake up to find himself stark naked in a shop window tied down to a chair with his legs apart and a sign around his neck with the word CUNT on it so that everyone can see what a twat he really is."

Those are some of the real things TL fans have posted on tumblr.com. There's even more on Twitter and other social media platforms.

In lieu of a concluding paragraph that ties this fandom phenomenon to a broader social context, I have a question for you, dear reader:

What the fuck is wrong with this fandom? Serious answers only.

A fairly terrible idea is now lodged in my head, help!

Was discussing acquiring a troll from Wisconsin’s troll town to put in my yard  when it occurred to me that probably most of the world doesn’t know about Wisconsin’s troll town.

[thequietguynextdoor]

Why would anyone ever think it’s acceptable to park their vehicles in someone else’s yard? I cannot for the life of me ever imagine being so disrespectful, yet here I am every single weekend hosting all the neighborhood trucks simply because I have the corner lot.

ravine in zaragoza: is called "ravine of death"

zaragoza city hall: gives permit for a road to go through there, as well as buildings including a school and houses

zaragoza city hall when it rains and "ravine of death" name makes sense: *radio silence*

Twenty years is a long time in one house

Achievement unlocked: two decades as a member of the landed gentry.

Wednesday marked a personal milestone that I had to research before gracing it with a calendar entry: Twenty years earlier, my wife and I moved into the house that we still occupy today. Signing the papers for that 1920 bungalow represented a step into the real-estate unknown in 2004. A few months earlier, realizing that the condo I’d bought four years earlier had appreciated to almost double…
