Have you ever held a real firearm?

Yes, and fired it.

Yes, but I didn't fire it / it wasn't loaded

Yes, but it was nonfunctional (age, damage, etc)

No, but I've held PART of one

No, but I've held a life-size toy/model firearm

No, not even a life-size toy/model

No, but I have somehow fired one despite not holding it

the world is getting so ugly and bleak and it’s hard not to feel so hopeless. but we have to remember that they want us to feel that way.

it reminds me of this quote by dan savage - “During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.”

joy is resistance. it’s really scary times but we are all in this together.

not only do I hate what arcane season 2 did with its female characters, I REALLY HATE what it did with its black characters. ESPECIALLY ekko. I do not think it is a coincidence that ekko’s focused, revolutionary, independent, no-bullshit character being sacrificed on the altar of timebomb (by both fandom AND the show) is a coincidence. “but his scene in the alternate universe where jinx was alright helped him realize how much of a victim jinx was as well and that her problems weren’t really her at all but the evil hex gem which is now a motif for greed or something.” I know I’ve previously said that I love how the idea of jinx becoming a revolutionary symbol outside of her will or control, but other critics have pointed out how unjustified and unearned that is narratively (I mean any sense of government protocol or realism is thrown out the window in season 2), but ekko already realized jinx was also a victim of a horrible system on the bridge before she blew herself up in season 1. not only that, but the same way caitlyn takes more unjustified precedence in vi’s life than jinx, is the same way jinx takes more unjustified precedence in ekko’s life than the firelights. if anything, ekko’s nuanced relationship with jinx was butchered by that forced romance of “what could have been.” ekko, by this point, is not simply just afraid of jinx. he fucking hates her. she has killed so many of his loved ones. even ruined his life by messing up with the mission in the first place. vi was the only one who could’ve brought those two together (and even that would be a tall order) because both of them looked up to her, and she’s nowhere to be seen in either timelines where those two interact. why is jinx’s name the one on the paper he burns instead of (for example) heimerdinger’s? all one can do with this season is speculate. endless fucking speculation.

you could post just the word “bush” (kate? george w? hw? vegetation? pubic hair?) and someone will reply “well i shave because of sensory issues” regardless

volodymyr zelenskyy is the strongest man alive for sitting through this utter bullshit without swearing or punching the fuckers or angry crying. fuck trump and fuck everyone who did not vote for harris and fuck russia.

like i can’t even read this bit of news without feeling humiliated and i’m not even fucking there.

i am terrified that i will have to sit back and watch the loss of ukraine in front of my eyes.
