Rant, mh, politics, heil bird
If you DO say something and others agree that’s not cool, suddenly you’re the evil Woke Mob with all the power. It’s a win win situation for these folks, they get to be right no matter what happens or how much THEY made public discourse toxic. (Literally; lives are on the line but not theirs, ever.)They’re basically every bully you faced in high school who had the principals and teachers on their side.
Rant, mh, politics, heil bird
The second richest man on earth. A lady who could be wholeheartedly loved worldwide thanks to her bestselling books. An rich scam artist responsible for thousands of deaths. And many others. And yet the people they go after are always tiny minorities with next to no money. (Which minority seems to be interchangeable.) If you don’t say anything the stream of antisemitism, anti-Blackness, homophobia and transphobia becomes a torrent.
Hot Star Wars sequel take, except I’ve said this before so it isn’t; I wish they’d left my childhood heroes their happy ending and leapt forward 200-500 years.
My original thought was the Jedi are now the dogmatic Force Sensitive guardians of the corrupt Skywalker Imperial line ruling from a lushly terraformed Tatooine, when an evil from the original trilogy past re-emerges to threaten all.
i will not fear, fear is the mind killer only the very strong ones travel this deep, Diane
two thumpers are planted. the worm may not surface for the first, he will rise for the second. but remember, when the worm approaches you must be utterly still and close enough to plant the hook firmly under a ring segment. the wom will turn to lift this exposed area as far from the abrasive sand as possible and it will take you with it to the top. fo not get too close, as he approaches the sand will engulf you. wait till the head of the worm passes then go, quickly. #mmmm #ShaiHulud
filk, food, caps, Radiohead
when you were here before
couldn't look you in the eye
you made me want danish
or maybe some pie
or eggs over easy
with crispy fried browns
I'm thinking of breakfast
I want some breakfast
*waves lighter in air*
BUT I'M STILL ON SHIFT
I'M SO HUNGRY
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOIN' HERE
I DON'T BELONG HERE
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
Or biscuits with gravy
Or a cinnamon roll
I’m now realizing that this unusually ugly bit of racism I grew up around? was basically a horrible bit of classism *phrased* as a race thing, just a really classic example of what King talks about at the beginning of “How Long Not Long,” with rich fucks being able to completely sabotage unity among poor people.
Image, fantasy creatures, eye contact
#drawing - the centaur is from earlier, and Harkon Lukas (from Ravenloft, canonically though he’s a violinist I think?) from today. Not fantastic but drawing past an art block (lots of earlier unfinished stuff not shown).
This morning’s weird thought in between customers;
Stuff which definitely aren’t terrestrial animals but are much more the status of commonly known mythology exist as Otherkin types (fictivekin, vampires, unicorns). The pre-Ostrom view of theropods and JW’s take on dromaeosaurs aren’t accurate but are huge enough to be big mythical archetypes, so could there be out there people whose kin type is, f’rex, “Jurassic Park scaled ‘raptor” rather than “actual literal manaraptoran”?
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.
