We’re sitting on the couch and my wife is eating a personal pizza, and as she finishes each slice she wordlessly hands the crust to me ‘cause that’s my favorite part of a pizza and idk I just want everyone to have a love that expresses itself in such pure and simple ways.
Based on the recent comic, we now know enough about the bat-schlong to do some maths.
First to establish a reference point. The average American Man’s thumb is 1 inch wide (x). I estimated the shape of the thumb based on the angle of the shot (estimate of shape is the blue outline). His thumb is probably about 29 pixels wide, but could be up to 40 pixels wide based on the angle of the shot.
The bat penis is roughly 130 pixels long from base to tip, assuming a top-down view. We can estimate how big the schlong is in inches by using:
[Were Thumb Length (Inch) = 1]
130/29 = 4.48 inches ; 130/40 = 3.25 inches
Based on this we can assume that the Bat-Schlong, when flaccid, is between 3.25 and 4.48 inches long.
The study does not account for ambient temperature, or which side of the shower/grower boundary Batman falls on, but I would say that 4.5 inches soft is…. at least worth further study.
This came into my work today and it made me really happy, because it’s so perfect and there needs to be more of this.
Just think of the little blind kid who’s just learning to read Braille and they find this and think for the first time that something was made special for them, with them in mind, and here it is telling them that there are others like them and that you don’t need to see to still experience all the joys and beauties of the world. That color can be smelt and heard and felt as much as seen. That you are not experiencing the world in a lesser or incomplete way, but just differently, and difference is beautiful.
Bless this children’s book author from the bottom of my heart. Bless.
[id= first image is a picture of a black book page. There is braille along the top of the page and white text on the bottom of the page that reads “Thomas says that blue is the color of the sky when kites and flying and the sun is beating hot on his head.”
The second image is a photo of the books cover. The book is titled “The Black Book of Colors” by Menena Cottin and Rosana Faria. The cover is black with light gray outlines and silhouettes of grass and plants on the bottom half.
The third image is a picture of another page in the book, like the other page there is braille on the top of the page and white text on the bottom of the page. “Red is sour like unripe strawberries and as sweet as watermelon. It hurts when he finds it on his scraped knee.”
Woke up to this. If you are unaware, Nationalist is code word for Nazi. White Nationalists are Nazis with a different name. They are for “ethnic cleansing” which means Genocide. Nazi announces he is a Nazi.
And he wants to get rid of trans/non-binary folks. The same thing first happened back then when Nazis took down the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute of Science of Sexuality). They had so much data about trans folks in general and Nazis burnt it down with all the records and data. This is how a fascist regime starts.
Creative Writing Professor at a former college: Welcome to creative writing! By the way,
you will not write fantasy, ghost stories, pranormal, or science fiction
in this class, as this is a creative writing course.”
What the ever loving fuck is with “creative” writing professors who think that speculative fiction of any stripe ISN’T CREATIVE?
I still remember my own creative writing teacher telling me this because he saw the Terry Pratchett book on my desk and got this smug smirk on his face like “aha, gotcha”. He had the nerve to pick it up and call it “popularist fiction”, like somehow being popular and easily accessible made it less inherent in intellectual value.
I had it in my back pack because I did my final thesis on the evolution of mythology and folk tails into fantasy and sci-fi and the societal importance of telling stories (before anyone asks, no I don’t have it, I lost it when I moved continents), and I used Terry Pratchett because there wasn’t a single humanitarian issue the man did not touch on.
Which I told him. And then he kind of floundered and went “ah, well but, it’s…well I mean it’s not exactly high brow”, like neither the fuck was Shakespeare or Dickens you self-important turnip. Dickens was literally selling his stories by the chapter. He was the popular author of his time. Shakespeare was too, he fucking made up words and phrases all the time because the language he needed to express himself didn’t exist in the way he needed it too.
Intellectual elitism is nothing more than a hold over from class warfare and the belief that only certain people should get to be truly educated. And it needs to be smashed.
