* Cate Blanchett voice *
The world has changed. Much that once was, isn’t. It began in the faraway kingdom of Salamasond. But then King Yertle, the King of them all, decided the kingdom he ruled was too small. He ordered all the turtles onto one another’s back. And into this stack he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life.
re: US politics, Puerto Rico
@ThatGenieProblem @Chip_Unicorn PR gets SLAMMED by storms, and without statehood to give them official representation, aiding them winds up being a niceity rather than a necessity. It really bugs me.
re: US politics, Puerto Rico
@Chip_Unicorn I checked Wikipedia; about 60% of Latinos in the US are Mexican-Americans, 10% are Riquenos. About 20% of the population are Latinos in general - so that's a staggering 2% of the overall population. There are more Jews and First Nations, and *we're* safe enough demographics to scapegoat.
re: US politics, Puerto Rico
@Chip_Unicorn I think it's opportunism. PR's still a territory, so they can't vote right? And by definition there won't be a big number of Riquenos registered in the states. So right wing whites will understand hating on them as code for hating Mexicans, and right wing Cuban- and Mexican-Americans can feel okay that they're not supporting someone openly dissing them.
@Chip_Unicorn 💙💙💙
@frost @CoyoteTraveller raining in bright sunlight, it's when the foxes get married! well, in folklore anyway.

@LexYeen A++, very Orky
@GoodNewsGreyShoes thank you! This one’s kinda cheating since I have an okay amount of fencing experience. I’d say the power rapier or whatever it is actually has a good chance of getting at a space in the armor, but let’s face it, the corsair probably has about a century more experience than he does.
Starting to feel that all negative emotions are justified in feeling, they’re just less useful to hang onto, and the big difficulty here is that I feel them because I feel threatened, and it’s a lot harder to accept that I’m not especially in conditions which seem so persistent as to seem permanent.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
