I think she'd put bits of the person into the doll like. clumps of hair, teeth, or fingernail clippings.... and they'd find out if they wear any fragrances to match their smell as accurately as possible

Is Terri more into pantsuits or trousers, or dresses? Dani I can see wearing adorable dresses and cute little hot shorts that drive Terri insane. Maybe something both pretty and tomboyish? Hehe ♥️ Fem!John would never go near any type of feminine clothing whatsoever. She’d rather die. Jeans and plaid shirts for life!!! Also—a wallet!

So I actually have a few things saved. Sorry, I don't remember where I saved them from or when.

I typically headcanon Terri as more feminine than Dani in a very ... Measured way.

Does anyone else remember when "hard femme" was an aesthetic? That's her.

She dresses feminine yet also strong. And everything she wears has a purpose, if she's going out that is. So she likes to mix things up. Maybe more androgynous cuts with more feminine fabrics,and vice versa. Her body is a weapon, and not just with karate. She knows that people will be judging her based on her appearance. She knows it's bullshit, but she also knows that it's easier to play the game and win than to change it.

She knows she's attractive. She knows that men look at her. She likes to show off her body, but also remind them they can't ever have it.

She's rarely full glam, usually more business chic. But she still has her hair and make up on point at all times.

I find a lot of what Katie McGrath wears as Lena Luthor to fit well.

When she's alone with Dani, or maybe Margaret, she's more likely to wear comfortable, sensible clothes. Of course, even those are high quality. She's the type of person who spends a stupid amount of money on a basic t-shirt because it's from a certain brand.

Dani is considered more tomboyish. But she's not against femininity, she just never got used to dressing up or anything like that. She likes to be comfortable. But when the time comes, she also wants to feel cute.

She's unlikely to go full glam. She likes things that are both pretty and soft like her. That's why she likes shorts. They're convenient and comfortable, more practical than skirts, but she knows they show off her legs.

When she wears dresses they're usually fun, flirty and casual sun dresses, or she's draped in silk that hangs off her frame delicately. She doesn't really have an eye for patterns or fabrics, she just likes whatever feels best against her skin.

She definitely had some mismatched fashion disasters when she was still shopping second hand.

(plaid and camo rings a bell)

Terri likes to put her in so pleasant patterns and striking colors, because she wants Dani's beauty to be the main attraction.

Left to her own devices she'd just wear jeans and t shirts most days. But she's natured a bit since then.

When she wears heels they're low kitten heels, unless she's purposefully wearing them for sex appeal. And that's only ever for Terri.

Joan would be totally butch. She would be the kind of lesbian who hangs a carabiner off her belt loops.

She can count the number of times she's worn proper dresses on one hand. She likes her trusty work boots. She likes the weight of them. The dependability. She likes flannel, not just the plaid pattern, but the actual flannel fabric. She likes canvas and leather.

She more or less just dresses nearly the same as in canon.

so you're gonna be interacting with kids for your thesis? 🥺😭

not interacting really, not this time around (I did a more interactive study for my bachelor thesis with 3 1/2 year olds), but they’ll sit on their parent’s lap and I’ll watch and track their eye movements over a camera! I’m really excited, I love testing infants, of course it’s always unpredictable and there’s a high drop out rate, but just seeing these cute kids brightens my day 🥰

that's kinda hot of him

There are people – some in my own Party – who think that if you just give Donald Trump everything he wants, he’ll make an exception and spare you some of the harm. I’ll ignore the moral abdication of that position for just a second to say — almost none of those people have the experience with this President that I do. I once swallowed my pride to offer him what he values most — public praise on the Sunday news shows — in return for ventilators and N95 masks during the worst of the pandemic. We made a deal. And it turns out his promises were as broken as the BIPAP machines he sent us instead of ventilators. Going along to get along does not work – just ask the Trump-fearing red state Governors who are dealing with the same cuts that we are. I won’t be fooled twice.

I’ve been reflecting, these past four weeks, on two important parts of my life: my work helping to build the Illinois Holocaust Museum and the two times I’ve had the privilege of reciting the oath of office for Illinois Governor.

As some of you know, Skokie, Illinois once had one of the largest populations of Holocaust survivors anywhere in the world. In 1978, Nazis decided they wanted to march there.

The leaders of that march knew that the images of Swastika clad young men goose stepping down a peaceful suburban street would terrorize the local Jewish population – so many of whom had never recovered from their time in German concentration camps.

The prospect of that march sparked a legal fight that went all the way to the Supreme Court. It was a Jewish lawyer from the ACLU who argued the case for the Nazis – contending that even the most hateful of speech was protected under the first amendment.

As an American and a Jew, I find it difficult to resolve my feelings around that Supreme Court case – but I am grateful that the prospect of Nazis marching in their streets spurred the survivors and other Skokie residents to act. They joined together to form the Holocaust Memorial Foundation and built the first Illinois Holocaust Museum in a storefront in 1981 – a small but important forerunner to the one I helped build thirty years later.

I do not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly. But I know the history intimately — and have spent more time than probably anyone in this room with people who survived the Holocaust. Here’s what I’ve learned – the root that tears apart your house’s foundation begins as a seed – a seed of distrust and hate and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

I’m watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now. A president who watches a plane go down in the Potomac – and suggests — without facts or findings — that a diversity hire is responsible for the crash. Or the Missouri Attorney General who just sued Starbucks – arguing that consumers pay higher prices for their coffee because the baristas are too “female” and “nonwhite.” The authoritarian playbook is laid bare here: They point to a group of people who don’t look like you and tell you to blame them for your problems.

I just have one question: What comes next? After we’ve discriminated against, deported or disparaged all the immigrants and the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women and the minorities – once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends – After that, when the problems we started with are still there staring us in the face – what comes next.

All the atrocities of human history lurk in the answer to that question. And if we don’t want to repeat history – then for God’s sake in this moment we better be strong enough to learn from it.

I swore the following oath on Abraham Lincoln’s Bible: “I do solemnly swear that I will support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the state of Illinois, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Governor .... according to the best of my ability.

My oath is to the Constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one. I am not speaking up in service to my ambitions — but in deference to my obligations.

If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this:

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

Those Illinois Nazis did end up holding their march in 1978 – just not in Skokie. After all the blowback from the case, they decided to march in Chicago instead. Only twenty of them showed up. But 2000 people came to counter protest. The Chicago Tribune reported that day that the “rally sputtered to an unspectacular end after ten minutes.” It was Illinoisans who smothered those embers before they could burn into a flame.

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let the “tragic spirit of despair” overcome us when our country needs us the most.

now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.

this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.

Big fan of Dipper "if I ever see you again outside of my nightmares, there is no force in the universe that will stop me from putting you in the ground" Pines

At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- "YEAHHH GURL, Get on with--with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy."

I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that's great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.

Anyway I've been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl

idk thinking about how sometimes you have to show up for people you aren't that close to, because sometimes you're just the person who's there. sometimes you invite a new friend to a party and end up having to sit with them through a panic attack. sometimes you run into an acquaintance on their worst day and they need to talk about what happened. sometimes someone is crying in a stairwell and you're the only one around to ask if they're okay. and none of this is "trauma dumping" or whatever the fuck it's just being there for people because you're the one in the room with them.
