I’ve never in my life seen or been taught sentence structure like this. It seems incredibly interesting, though. Do any of my followers know anything about this or were taught this?

You are tenth generation honor guard for the Immortals. As far back as pack memory goes, the Immortals have provided food, shelter, and scritches. You fully expected them to outlive you as they did your grandmother and her grandmother before her. But something's wrong. The alpha… is dying.

Honestly, with all the tradwife cooking trash circulating, it only makes me love B Dylan Hollis more for baking vintage recipes while being openly gay, making sexual jokes, and screaming at the ingredients. He's the antithesis of every soft-spoken cishet woman cooking for her husband and children. You don't have to be an idyllic cottagecore housewife to cook.

Do Not Comply In Advance

We humans, we protect ourselves.

We protect ourselves, our families, and our communities.

We protect what we had built, what we have collected, what we have made, what we have nurtured.

We do this in a variety of ways. One way we protect ourselves, our people, and our works is by getting along with others.

A part of getting along with others is ... well, it's doing what you need to do so that you remain unremarkable. Unnoticed. We live in societies, in communities, and we on the whole try to live in accordance with the rules and unspoken expectations of that society.

Compliance is one of the cornerstones of protection.

However.

However.

Do not do the work of those who would see you broken and battered for them.

Okay, listen.

I'm talking about the U.S., here, the U.S.A. in the bitter end of 2024. As I type this, I cannot forsee the future. I am, thank the uncaring void, not a Cassandra. But it would be abject foolishness to not know that turmoil is coming from sea to shining sea. What manner of harms will befall us are as yet unknown.

But harm will come.

Harm will come. We will be threatened. And in the face of that threat we will want to protect ourselves, our people, and our works. Most of us, the vast, vast majority of us, will be compliant most of the time.

This isn't stupid. This isn't evil. This is one tool in the toolbox of the occupied, invaded, and oppressed. Keep your head down. Go along to get along.

Every marginalized community in the U.S. already knows this. This isn't new and it's not news. But a lot more people are going to abruptly find themselves in this position, and it will be very unnerving.

Compliance to protect you and yours isn't wrong. It's not a failing. It's just what you have to do.

However.

However.

Do. Not. Comply. In. Advance.

What does that mean? That means, do not try to guess what the oppressor wants so you can do it without being asked. It means do not imagine what will make the autocrat happy and do it as a little present. It means do not suck up to the oligarchs by hanging on their every word and doing what they hint at.

Do not, in short, 'rid him of this turbulent priest.'

Do not call ICE on anyone. Do not ask anyone for their documentation. In fact, don't keep very good records. Forget to do your paperwork. Lose files. Corrupt a database here and there. The oligarchy can't deport who they can't find.

Do not be a snitch, period. However you feel about your neighbor's lawn signs/car on blocks/late night weed smoking you do everything you can to handle it yourselves. It is important to try to establish good relationships with your neighbors, your coworkers, your medical provider, anybody you have regular dealings with. You help them out, they'll help you out.

Do not do the work of the oppressor for them. Do what you need to do to get by, but remember that everyone else is also trying to get by - leave them be.

Do not do the work of people who want to see you dead for them.

Do not comply in advance.

YIN and YANG, SUN and MOON… Sasuke and Naruto 💕

[ it’s actually a love story ]

[ID: Naruto fanart. The first shows Sasuke leaning over Naruto at the end of VOTE1; Naruto is unconscious, and Sasuke looks tired and miserable as rain pours around them. The second has the same composition, but now they're adults, and Naruto is leaning over Sasuke with a big grin as Sasuke smiles back sweetly, laying in a flowery field. End ID]
