Not easy defending a city if you don't have cash to build a batcave

Dear Joe,

Weeks later, I’m still cleaning space alien dust out of my uniform. It’s hard to believe an unrelated accident happened to bring enemies to earth just after I acquired my powers, but there it is.

Thanks to generous donations from citizens like you, I was able to defeat this latest invasion and provide a great public service. The Hooverville Times reported last week that almost half the buildings destroyed in the battle were already condemned and would have cost thousands of dollars to demolish anyway.

After consulting many concerned citizens and officials, I’ve agreed that it’s time to create a full-fledged hideout. This project will have many benefits, including

  • an ideal location to defend our city
  • an energy-efficient structure
  • private funding to avoid competing with worthy civic projects.

When you invest in this project, you’ll not only save hundreds of dollars in potential tax increases but also direct improve our community. Your money directly goes to the hideout with no contrived “other uses.” Every supercomputer, high-octane car, and overpowered ray gun I use will be responsibly funded.

I’m also providing exclusive tours of the hideout, for citizens who give $200 or more by April 21st. Tours will begin August 1st and include photo shoots and autograph signings.

Together, we’ve maintained an incredible city in recent years. Let’s uphold that legacy by supporting great projects like this one and step toward a great future.

Sincerely,

Captain Unbeatable

P.S. To donate online or see video updates of the hideout’s construction, check out my website, reallyunbeatable.org. You’ll also find a link to support my good friend Ventral-Man’s Kickstarter campaign for a new costume.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
