The way environmental justice feels so isolated from other forms of justice pisses me off.

Rising temperatures effect the global South more than anyone. Oil pipelines and their spills effect Indigenous communities the most. The pollution from fast fashion is dumped in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. Bombings like that in Ghazza are causing wild spikes in emissions (and this point is used so that white people may start to care, which sucks, and conservationists still aren't mentioning the Palestinian genocide). The Hawa'ii fires?? The flooding in Brazil right now and previously so Pakistan and so many other places?? Heatwaves. Earthquakes. Tsunamis. Hurricanes. Typhoons. Who do you see being effected by these the most, really? Don't even get me started on how """green technology""" uses slave labor from Congo, whose people and CHILDREN are being forced to mine for battery materials. And nobody—particularly and especially institutions—who fights for the environment ever really mentions this stuff. Because they care more about securing this sanitized idea of climate activism that tries to work with capitalism rather than focusing on intersectionality and solidarty and fighting the system causing the problems.

White and other priveleged people honestly only really care about environmental justice because it has the potential to harm them too. Either that or they feel bad for animals that are more palatable to them than actual people, as mentioned in a prev post I rbed. It's part of the "humans are the virus" eco-fashy sentiment that is frustratingly pervasive. I have been persuaded by that thinking in the past. It's possible to stop it, and you must stop it in yourself. You can care about animals obviously but don't forget people.

My point is. The movement of environmental justice is SO focused on the global North/the West/whatever else u wanna call colonial powers. We have to change that. Care about the people in "far away" countries who are being effected by climate change. Care about people of color and poor people in your communities effected by these things. Care about indigenous people worldwide. Fight for them. Listen to them. And fight against the ruling class that marginalizes and oppresses them. Everyone needs an Earth without colonial & capitalist caused environmental disaster.

Money's been tight. We've been keeping our heads above water with the bills, but there are several things we've been trying to save up for that we just can't afford right now.

We have a household wishlist. There are groceries, various household items, pet items, supplies for our Etsy shop, and a few just-for-fun things. I also added some garden supplies so I can work toward growing a few herbs & veggies we eat a lot. No obligation, but it's there if you're feeling generous. Thank you in advance. <3

When I first started Protocol, I assumed Lena would be a pretty major antagonist, scheming and evil, à la Elias. But the further in we get, the more convinced I am that no, she's not. Capable? Dunno. She's pretty obviously withholding information, which, to be fair, so did Elias, but he did it out of a desire to manipulate and yknow, *gestures at TMA S5* - Lena seems to be doing it out of a desire to protect something, whether that's herself or her employees or something else entirely or multiple of those, I don't know. She does seem to care, based on her reaction during her and Gwen's conversation today. In general, she keeps her employees as separate from the horrors as she can, but it seems like it's less out of actual malice and more a way of protecting herself and them. Protecting them from what? Too soon to say. Will it work? I think, to a degree, the answer is yes - but they are, after all, in the Magnus Protocol, and as such their luck is going to run out.

I think the difference between Elias and Lena is that Elias didn't care at all about his employees, but put on a charismatic front and made an effort to come across as likeable, whereas Lena does seem to care, but is absolute dogshit at showing it to any degree.

It's a little odd to me that everyone assumes Oisin was intentionally leading Adaine on, when as far as I'm aware there's nothing in canon to say that's the case? He was just perfectly normal and friendly when talking to Adaine at the party, and then everyone read into him missing all his ping pong shots as him being flustered, but that was happening AFTER Adaine had already left and in fact was mostly Brennan narration? So it rly seems to me it was just the players (and the audience by proxy) assuming on a meta level that Oisin was into her. Like, if his big plan was to try and lead Adaine on (or even if he was just being a dick on purpose) there are way more overt ways to do it than trying to indirectly indicate you're flustered AFTER the girl you're trying to fool has already left.

Like, Adaine can still feel hurt that what she thought was someone being into her was just another ploy to hurt her and her friends, but I don't think it's a case of Oisin trying to hurt her in That Way Specifically.

I finished reading the original Sam and Max comics by Steve Purcell, so I'm going to share some of my favourite panels from it! Let's goooo!!!

He won him a stuffed horsey TuT Also I find it very interesting how Max's proportions are a bit more chonky here at the start, you can later see how they become more streamlined and intensified into the shapes we recognize from the games.

Sam being protective of Max. 👌

He's biking up a freaking volcano to save him. Call it what you want but that requires some immense devotion (Also, nice patoot there Sam)

Loved this reminder that Sam, too, is a dork.

Pretty sure that this is the first instance of "Max, you don't even like girls"

They sleep in a bunk bed, and apparently Sam is on top. Also, those Western jammies.

I'm just finding it very cute that their families celebrate the holidays together okay

This one just made me laugh...

... same with this one!

Cute phone scenes! Always love the way Steve illustrated these.

Speaking of illustration, the art in this comic goes HARD when it wants to.

They're snoozing together. <3

Just a very cute panel. I would be tempted to use one of these faces as an avatar.

Also, let's talk about this gesture real quick. They legit do this a lot (see this post)

And I would just like to add that we even see in Beyond Time and Space when Satan tries to do the same head-pat on Max and he very visibly hates it. He genuinely only allows Sam to do it. I am deceased.

Another panel that made me laugh.

Here it's sweet that Sam keeps Max from smoking, but also the dialogue cracks me up.

The implication that Sam wears his suit because he doesn't want to unsettle humans?

They got a Congeniality Award right under a framed photo of them hitting a KKK member. Goals.

Again!! Kickass inking!!

This page... honestly caught me off-guard for how somber and serious it is all of the sudden. Like, damn. The realization that Steve could emotionally destroy me with his comicking skills, huh

And they still manage to cope. I think I saved this one because Sam calls Max "lovable and cuddly".

That's all I got, thank you and goodnight!! 🙇‍♂️ ❤️
