i hope we continue to see more protests within the US military. i see a lot of leftists and folks who are anti-military who have such an open disdain for the people who are in the military, yet neglect to considering the conditions this country makes to produce ideology, poverty, and the illusion of choice to make all kinds of people choose to enlist in the military. You ever see those videos of ROTC kids recording each other asking why they joined the military and everyone's like, "healthcare", "it helped me go to college", "I was bored" or "free ptsd lol". I hate to remind everyone but folks who are in the military are people, too, and they are the same victims and perpetrators of violence as the rest of you, we have all been shallowly conditioned to view each other as enemies just because one person is wearing army greens and the other is not.
some of the biggest anti-war advocates are those who engaged in war. Veterans who genuinely believed they were protecting the US against "terrorism" come back with blood on their hands, and they choose to realize that it was US imperialism that forced them to carry out violence, instead of doubling down and shielding themselves from the fact that they too are capable of atrocities... This is a class of people who are intentionally conditioned to be as poor and as ideologically aligned to US imperialism so that the military has a never-ending pool to send their youth to destroy other country's youth. The only people I have ever heard say "do not join the military" are those who ARE military.
This is in no way to ever excuse or explain away any of the atrocious war crimes and violence this industry and its people have committed against others. What I am saying is that we absolutely cannot cast aside the individuals who have been victimized within US imperialism, even if they are wearing army greens. I was speaking with my Palestinian classmate last week and another classmate--a member of the US air force-- walked up to me and struck up a conversation. My military classmate showed me her new bird, bid both of us goodbye, and left. My Palestinian classmate asked me if I was close with her, and I said we talked quite often, and she said, "I never met a person who's in the military. I still hate the military, but I never knew that they did, too. I didn't realize that they were also victims."
If my Palestinian classmate--one who is actively watching her own community die--can understand that it is not individuals who are the problem but it is in fact systems, US imperialism, white supremacy, capitalism...why can't we all? And she has EVERY reason to hate any individual military member. A lot of online activism just creates more barriers. if your optics look bad, complicated, or contradictory, you are cast aside. Everyone has got the be the perfect activist, you can never make a mistake or share a half-baked thought, you should always believe every word from a marginalized persons mouth (because being marginalized doesn't mean you're not entrenched in white supremacy too!) and you should never question what you see...Do you know what you sound like? The very imperialists who are convincing poor whites to vote against themselves. Perfectionism is white supremacy. Black & white thinking is white supremacy.
I'd rather have a military member who genuinely believed in the US imperialism machine but was disillusioned after being deployed as my comrade than some leftist who cherishes the performance of "being a good person". I don't want "good people" in our movements. I want humans who care. I want humans who make mistakes and who learn from them. I want humans who accept the messiness of a person. I want humans who hold others accountable and allow themselves to take responsibility for their actions. I want people who change for themselves and others.
fight systems, not individual people. we can change each other, but if we're too preoccupied looking like the World's Perfect Activists, we will only consume each other alive. Connect to your fellow humans, forever and always.
#muertotalks#a mind dump after seeing so much come out after the self immolation of the us air force member#i know hes not the first one to self immolate for palestine#and he might not be the last#i hate the military#i really fucking do#but i choose to see the people within them as victims within the overall system just like the rest of us#i will never go through what they did to make them choose to enlist#i never struggled with poverty homelessness healthcare or social acceptance#i wont shame them#shame is not productive#i want them to know there are civilians who support their protests#i want them to know that we their allies too#a note on my palestinian classmate#if youre arab or also a colonized person impacted by the us military feel free to hate every member of the military#i dont intend to police yall in how you choose to feel your anger#im angry with you#the point i mean to make is about understanding and compassion#someone who has every right to hate these people still chose to see them as the people they are#yes i even want the best for the “bad” people in the military too#i dont want these people to continue the ideology but we cant stop that without dismantling these systems#and we cant do that without creating spaces for healing and reform and growth#so many thoughts so many thoughts#none of this is easy#i fight daily against impulsively hating the world#everyday is a fight to choose compassion and understanding#but being a leftist and doing leftism is not fucking easy#if you genuinely think it is it isnt#and you may be missing the point of what leftism is#anyway

Headcanon that the Tsaritsa is perpetually crying
Hear me out:
for some reason I imagine that the Tsaritsa is constantly crying- not even with the typical ‘crying noises’. Just, always shedding tears.
1, because it makes me feel all mushy to imagine the Archon of Love constantly crying for her people
2, because it’s kinda funny
Y’know. Snezhnaya is fucking COLD, Childe says you ‘freeze to death’ if you keep standing around. So her tears just freeze instantly and fall on the ground like little glass pearls, and whenever the Tsaritsa goes you just hear the constant clatter of her tears
Imagine if she really just can’t control it, and she’s having some kinda serious meeting with her Harbingers, while the space on the table before her just slowly fills up with frozen tears.
(Dottore keeps reaching over and grabbing a few of them to snack on. Pierro thinks it’s inappropriate to consume the tears of her Majesty, the Tsaritsa doesn’t mind; she’s got plenty to go around.)
People slip on them all the time (most notably Childe lol) because the whole floor in the Palace is covered in them.
Imagine if she has to leave Snezhnaya for some kinda diplomatic bullshit, like. She’s meeting up with Zhongli in Liyue to, idk, discuss their contract, and Zhongli invites her to some tea.
So, they’re sitting in like, idk, Xinyue Kiosk and do important business talk. Xiao squats out on the roof incase something happens (wasn’t Zhongli’s idea. Xiao just showed up and he didn’t have the heart to turn him away.) Childe and Signora sit on either side of the Tsaritsa. Awkward doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Then... her Majesty clears her throat. “This... tea.”, she says, staring at the cup with an expression that could be disgust or curiosity. Or both- probably both.
“...yes? Is there something wrong with it? It is a herbal blend from-”
“No, no, it’s quite lovely. But... is it just me, or does it have a slightly... salty note?”
Zhongli looks stunned. (Salty Herbal tea?? Xiangling might be interested in this)
 Next to her, Signora does that ‘nose exhale’ laugh.
Childe slowly puts down his chopsticks (he’s not eating anything. just... practicing.), looks between the cup of tea and her Majesty.
“...your Majesty. The tea is salty because you’re crying right into it.”
“Ah. Yes, I suppose that’s the case.”
Zhongli pours her a new cup of tea. Signora wordlessly starts freezing the Tsaritsa’s tears before they ruin her tea again. Childe (not so subtly) collects the frozen tears in a bag for Dottore to eat later.
Xiao is still sitting on the roof.

someone did make an interesting point somewhere else
people inflate unrealistic levels of aggression between zhongli and neuvillette on a such personal level when in reality all of the negative projections we're conflating with these two (regarding the dragon-archon clash) would likely be more associated with Ei (or at least at the heightened level powerscalers project on neuvili) 😭
this isn't an Ei hate post, just pointing out her own past mistakes and flaws that would clash with the crying dragon at a higher level than some other archons

Hmm I believe I remember learning a few years ago that when one is asked to acknowledge that they’re impacted subconsciously by systemic racism/sexism/homophobia etc, or is told that they’re behaving in a way that’s bigoted/harmful, “no I’m not” is the wrong answer. So I think some of you should get less excited about saying that when Jewish people tell you you’re being antisemitic.
#guess what. Your views on Israel and Palestine ARE in fact going to be influenced by the fact that one of those nations is Jewish.#Just as it’ll be influenced by the fact that one of those nations is majority Muslim.#Just as your feelings about police shootings will be influenced by the majority of victims being Black or Indigenous.#Just as your feelings about EVERYTHING will be impacted by the social forces that have shaped you and colour your perception.#Antisemitism actually DOES colour the words of people insisting that targeting Israeli civilians was a legitimate act of resistance.#Just as racism and Islamophobia colour the words of Israeli politicians and soldiers who insist that wiping out Gaza is a fair price to pay#for wiping out Hamas.#it has been absolutely staggering to see person after person on this site#casually assert that rules of war do not apply when the civilians they protect are Israeli#and refuse to consider even the SLIGHTEST possibility that the ease with which that assertion came to them#might have SOMETHING to do with an internalized belief that — say —#there is no such thing as a Jewish civilian? that all Jews are inherently loyal to other Jews above any loyalty to justice?#that all Jewish people wield a sort of inherent power that makes them less vulnerable and therefore acceptable targets?#Of course you’re antisemitic. Yes. You. I am too. We all are. We live in an antisemitic society.#And if you‘ll acknowledge that societal racism and sexism and homophobia inform your subconscious beliefs#and you’ll critically reflect on THOSE#but you won’t afford antisemitism the same dignity#I think that probably says something about something.#Just to be clear this actually isn’t a post that says anything about my stance on Israel and Palestine#because my stance on that is actually extremely simple— FTR it’s ’apartheid and war crimes and forced displacement are bad things’#but this is about the internet’s RESPONSE#and the downright celebratory glee that I saw people have on oct 7th#and the fucking twisted excitement they’ve shown treating further Israeli war crimes like ammunition to justify it#and the simple truth that — while I’ll believe you MIGHT still have condoned it —#I do not believe any of you would have CELEBRATED the massacre of thousands of civilians in a period of minutes#if. those. civilians. had. not. been. Jews.#Rhi talks#palestine#antisemitism#Yeah and I’ll post this one too. Anon is still on. String me up.

you've heard of the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny, now get ready for monoceros caeli: ultimate smackdown of ultimate proportions
#genshin#genshin impact#childe#monoceros caeli#tartaglia#childe tartaglia#genshin memes#genshin impact memes#genshin shitposts#his battle is really not that bad; it's the music that gets me#especially the part that mimics the call of a whale#it is all a very visceral reminder that childe is. whatever he is. you know?#like he's just some guy a mortal even but at the same time he's touched by the abyss and everything the gods fear#idk how to express that childe is like. so wild. to me.#he gives me soooo much secondhand embarrassment sometimes but also he is like a terrifying example of the product of your circumstances#fell in a hole and he came out clinging to violence as a tool of survival#family guy doesn't like involving civilians but once you're on his level oooo boy#like. he is. very principled. you get me? but he embodies an unhinged sense of violence and primal instinct that unmade ajax inside out#so honestly childe terrifies me more as a character than any other in genshin i think#because he is so principled but of what you've seen of the abyss - no mortal principle will stop it from consuming#he fascinates me in the way similar to the opening scene in train to busan#it's morbidly intriguing but at the same time there is dramatic irony - you know eventually something will go wrong. and it Is wrong already#anyways. every day childe gaslights me ab his character. i never know which interpretation is right.#btw for context ultimate showdown is a lemon demon song#very banger listen to it. thumbs up

Title: In The Alleyways
Civilian reader is next! With a vote of 12.7%, civilian reader came in fourth place.
Noble | Head Advisor | Civilian | Royalty | Librarian | Witch (canon)
Wc: 2.1K Warnings: None
Tumblr media
Festivals are always such a busy time, even for the random people in the cities and villages, who aren't even helping with setting up stalls or decorations or any other preparations.
There is excitement and joy, but also anticipation, because everyone knows that this is where an attack is most likely to come from. But you heard the crown prince would be in the parade, and he was blessed with a dendro vision, so you're sure things will be fine.
Well, you were sure.
Maybe it was because the crown prince was attending the parade that things have gotten out of hand.
Oh dearest stars above, there are people swooning and fainting in the crowd, and crazy folks who try to push past the guards and rush towards the carriage which holds the Prince. You can't really see from your position, but the cries and proclamations of love get louder the closer it gets. You're not sure if it was exactly worth it coming here.
You wanted to see the prince, and if his rumors of his extreme handsome-ness were true. The tri-colored blaze of his eyes sound like the things from legends, and everyone wants a taste of the supernatural, the extreme. Well, you work with the supernatural near often enough, you just want to see it in a different proximity.
But the ridiculousness ramps up when the carriage finally approaches. It's like when Barbara and Xinyan had a joint performance, the crowd was in a frenzy, trying to rush to the stars of it all.
He is handsome. Very much so. His face and body seem chiseled from some fine marble, and his eyes really are intense. His hair is a dove gray in the sunlight, and the dendro vision he bears is a swirling emerald. His face is stoic, and he stares ahead, as if unbeknownst to the cries of his name and pleas for a glance.
What is up with these people?
It's at that moment that a women next to you practically rips off her corset, and with impressive aim, throws it straight towards the prince.
What the fuck.
And he catches it, on reflex you suppose, because he stares at the piece of cloth in his hand like he never seen anything like it before. Everyone seems stockstill, before the prince raises his hand to slow the procession, and jumps out of the carriage.
The crowd screams as he approaches, and rushes forward as Prince Al Haitham speaks to the guards, gesturing to where the girl, who ran forward with a scream of delight, lost in the masses now, was when she threw it. And yeah, you aren't dealing with this.
It's not hard to push past the crowd, you're going in the opposite direction after all, and a little spritz of a potion has people quick to look past your face, frantic to see the prince instead. But you turn back to look at the craziness before you depart, and suddenly, the prince's eyes meet yours.
Oh, what the fuck.
You run.
And okay, that was a bad idea. 
Because now you're being chased by the guards, as if you were the crazy lady who ripped and threw her clothing.
Most people were attending the parade or perusing the shops and stalls, so the alleys are only full of trash and vermin, alley cats and dogs.
You can hear the guards, and you try to slow down your heartbeat, catch your breath. You have a spell. Spells. You'll be fine. You're too elevated. You must get to a lower level. You take a couple of darkened stairs, down, down down.
Unless your spell didnt actually work, because didnt the prince see you? Like, he immediately found you in that giant crowd, and perhaps he sent the guards your way. and you spell didnt really work and and���
Okay. Okay, breathe. You're fine. You're a capable and amazing witch and the prince didn't see you, that was fluke. The guards won't find you and you won't get in trouble, you just need to breathe and relax. And focus on creating some distance. You begin walking again, a hand to your chest.
The potion works well enough, and as long as you keep up your hood, you can get to the inn you've been staying at and relax. You'll wait till the parade is over and then you can enjoy the stalls and such, in fact, there was a stall you wanted to check out by the city center–
A hand lands on your shoulder and you jump to high Celestia.
You open your mouth to tell but an arm arcs over your head, and the inside of the elbow is pressed against your mouth to keep you quiet. You try to bite but the person was wearing some sort of armor thing underneath the cloak. You're stuck in a headlock.
How did they catch up to me so fast?? You think, you thought you had enough ground between you and the guards.
You drop, limp, amd the person struggles to keep you upright. When you drop you grab their pant leg and pull.
They fall, stumble really, which was your plan, and as soon as you're free you start booking it. You see them catch and right themselves as you turn a corner, and you curse under your breath.
Not a minute later you hear footsteps behind you, and you curse again and run faster. You fly by back workers refilling stocks or bringing things in, children delivering packages, even the occasional pair of lovers embracing. You're just trying to outrun this man.
Unfortunately, you run into a dead end. Literally.
Okay, it's not your fault that in your adrenaline induced panic, you mistook the painting of an open shop door to be an actual door. The alley way was short and dark, and you were desperate and fuck that hurted.
Mother, do I make you proud?
You're holding your face, thankfully unbroken, when you feel a shadow fall over you. Your panic returns, making you still and liable to bite, when you open your eyes.
"..." Crown Prince Al Haitham stands above you, with a cloak of his own. He looks at you, and you look at him.
Wordlessly, he hands you an object, and you see it's the corset that was thrown at him. He urges you to take it. And you do. Awkwardly.
"Here. Why did you throw this? You would have gone without it?"
"…" You must be dreaming.
"Did you rattle your brains running into that wall? Why did you run for so long?"
"...Why did you chase me?" He returns to full height, but still stares down at you. 
"To return your clothing."
"You chased me like a madman, for that? You put me in a headlock for that?!"
He shrugs, unbothered. "There's a local myth that if a person throws their clothing at you unsuspectingly and you catch it, it's a metaphor for returning their feelings, unless you return it. I thought most of you wouldn't be so bold, but alas." You marvel at his audacity and roll onto your stomach, not wanting to get up yet. The ground was hard but cool.
"You don't seem like the type to believe in such a silly thing." 
"I'm not. But I've started to believe in curses and tempting fate. So I must take heed." Something changes in his face. 
"Your nose is bleeding." 
You check and oh! You are. You press the fabric of the corset to your nose to stop the blood flow and damn, your nose hurts. You wince but let up.
Crown Prince Al Haitham crouches on his haunches, as if to inspect you better.
"Your nose might be broken."
"It's fine."
"Let me see."
"What? No." But he doesn't wait for your permission, and moves your hand with the cloth away, and starts pressing around your nose and the bridge. You hiss and grit your teeth, but he has one hand on your face and the other under your jaw keeping you in place.
After a few very painful moments, he backs up.
"Not broken,  but you'll bruise. Very badly. It would be best to ice it. And to not use your corset to staunch a nosebleed."
"It's not mine."
"It's not your corset and you still threw it at me?" You sigh in annoyance.
"...I didn't throw this at you, Your Highness."
He rolls his eyes, and stands up. Now you're tired of being on the floor, and get up too, less gracefully.
"Do not lie. Why else would you meet my eyes and then run during the commotion? I admit, that was a bold move. It got me to follow you."
"Your Highness."
"None of my admirers have thrown their clothing at me, and to do so in public–"
"You're mistaken!" You cut him off, irked.
"You must be pretty arrogant to think that everyone is in love with you, Your Highness. I am not one of them. And look," you open your cloak to show that you are, in fact, still wearing your all your clothing.
"If you came here hoping to score with some doe eyed fool you're mistaken, Your Highness. And frankly impudent."
"Impudent. So you're at least well read." Before you could reply to the backhanded compliment he moves on.
"Hm. You're very bold. And presumptuous. That's not what I chased you down for." The Prince looks down at your outfit, hand to his chin.
"I was merely curious. I suppose you ran, because you wished to avoid the commotion?"
"Yes. And because you came up to me and put me in a headlock."
"That doesn't explain how you were able to evade my guards," he breezes past. "And how I was the only one to reach you."
"I don't know!" You raise your hands and smack them to your sides.
"No, I think you do."
"You're the only one who saw through my spell. I don't know how."
At this, he perks up, and steps into your space.
"A spell? So you're a wizard," he looks at your outfit (again. You dont think you mistake that derogatory look).
"Self taught, perhaps? Show me this spell."
You scowl. 
"Wizards are more the scholarly type, and like to stick to the rules, and their courts and towers. I am a witch, we garden and grow and hunt our ingredients and make our spells and focus on the body and the like. There is a difference." 
Again he shrugs. "Alright witch, show me."
"And If I don't want to?"
"Then I'll have my guards detain you and hold you for questioning." Really? You want to ask if he is that petty, but one look at his face and you know he is serious.
You sigh and pull out a bottle from your satchel, the liquid inside is a pretty purple, and he takes it from your hands gingerly. You let him, but not without a face.
"It doesn't make you invisible, but unnoticeable. That's how I was able to get away. Somehow you broke through it."
"... I saw a blue vial  in your satchel, just now. What was that one?"
"Healing." Speaking of which, your face is really starting to hurt now.
"I'll use it for my face, but first I have to let the wound set."
"Did you make these yourself? How much do you want for the stealth vial?"
"...Yes, and no, it's not for sale. At least, not for money."
"Alright, what do you want in exchange?"
You probably should ask for coin, but you're curious sooo "....Why did you really follow me? And why do you want it? And why did you put me in a headlock?! Answer me those questions."
To his credit, he doesn't hesitate. "I was curious because I thought you had thrown the article of clothing. You didn't seem as obsessed as the other folk were, and that piqued my interest.
It gets tiring, being fanned and adored and swooned over day in and out." He sighs hard, and he looks annoyed now, his brow tugged down and his lips are pursed. He meets your gaze.
"I had suspiciouns when you met my eyes in the crowd and ran. With the fact that my guards could not catch you, I assumed it was a type of signal. Perhaps it was. Eith your.pption, itt would be beneficial to go unnoticed for a few hours."
"Beneficial for…?"
"My health." Despite your previous attitude, you snort.
"I guess you're lucky your hair is gray, otherwise the stress would show."
"It's genetic."
"I know." You sigh, and ponder for a minute. You have been struggling for work, and you've been wanting to gain some recognition. Your skills are decent, but maybe that's all you need in this situation maybe you could make him a customer.
"Fine. A spritz lasts a half hour, and I have enough for the rest of the day. Take it." You gesture to the prince, since he already had it in his hands, and he nods. He looks all around out for a moment, before pointing the nozzle and sprays you.
"Hey!" He stares at you for a moment, as if watching whether you'll grow horns or not, before spraying himself. 
As if on cue, a pair of guards barrels into the alleyway you two are at. They stop to stare at you, you both are caught off guard so your faces are in full view, before they shake their heads and run off.
"Hm. How convenient, it does work. Lovely. Now, where to?"
"Where to?"
"Yes. Memorizing maps and infracture doesn't help for when you're actually in a place you've never been before, so I need an aide. And I need to question you on what other potions you can make. I have a feeling I might need your services in the future." He gestures ahead, for you to move forward.
"After you."

Uraraka and Hawks have been indirectly linked for a long time, and they were bound to come into contact with each other sooner or later. By killing Twice, Hawks unwittingly made Toga come to the crushing realisation that most heroes do not regard villains as people, but as mere obstacles and enemies to get rid of. Even though their later confrontation had terrible results due to miscommunication and misunderstanding on both their parts, Toga in turn allowed Uraraka to realise this as well, prompting a big change to her mindset and outlook.
Although he wished for a different outcome, Hawks believed, still believes that killing Twice had been a necessity. For this reason, he'll likely attempt to kill Toga as well because of her quirk. That is why Uraraka, Toga, and he are in one place now: Uraraka wants to save Toga, and to do that she will need to do something to earn her trust and prove that her feelings and motivations are genuine. Stopping another hero from killing her like he killed one of the most important people to her because he was an inconvenience may just help with that.
[... having said that, the fact that now she's in the same battlefield as AFO and that she too will witness todofam drama firsthand on top of that is hysterical. To me.]

Introduction to Retro Reflective Sheets
Retro Reflective Sheets have emerged as a sport changer in signage and traffic management. These specialized documents play a vital role in ensuring visibility and safety in load handling from road signs and markings to action grid pages What they mean, and their copies are critical to their greater visibility all recognition and impact.
Tumblr media
History of Retro Reflective Sheets
The adventure of Retro reflective sheets lines returned to the mid-twentieth century whilst modern minds sought answers to improve nighttime visibility on roads. Initially evolved for military purposes, unfashionable-reflective materials gradually found their manner into civilian applications, mainly in visitors signage. Over the many years, improvements in technology have propelled the evolution of retro reflective sheets, making them imperative components of modern-day infrastructure.
How Retro Reflective Sheets Work
At the coronary heart of retro reflective technology lies the precept of unfashionable reflection, wherein mild is directed returned towards its source. This phenomenon is finished via the strategic association of micro prisms or glass beads at the floor of the sheet. When illuminated by headlights or other mild sources, these microscopic structures jump the light lower back to the observer, making sure most visibility even underneath low-light conditions.

Unlike conventional signage substances, including paint or vinyl, retro-reflective sheets withstand harsh climate conditions and extended publicity to daylight with out fading or deteriorating. Additionally, their lower maintenance requirements translate into savings for municipalities and transportation agencies. From an environmental perspective, the retrospective paper offers sustainability benefits by reducing waste by reducing the need for appropriate replacement.
Challenges and Limitations
Despite their several advantages, retro reflective sheets are not without challenges. Maintenance is a essential aspect, as amassed dirt or debris can impair their reflective homes through the years. Additionally, intense weather situations, which include heavy rain or snow, might also briefly lessen visibility, necessitating proactive cleaning and maintenance efforts. Additionally, ensuring compliance with safety requirements and guidelines creates a situation that requires planning for those involved in signage and site Traffic management.
Future Trends and Innovations
The future of retro reflective era holds promising traits aimed toward similarly improving performance and functionality. Ongoing research seeks to validate best practices and manufacturing processes to improve product sustainability and efficiency. Additionally, blending retro reflective sheet with smart technology, as well as connected cars and IoT systems, opens up new possibilities for enhancing visitor management and security.
Case Studies
Numerous case research exemplify the actual-global impact of retro reflective sheets in enhancing street safety and site visitors management.

Sometimes I wonder what a vision wielder's parents must think, when they realise that their kid will probably be on the frontlines due to their blessing.
I mean, in case of an emergency, vision wielders are probably expected to assist, even as a last line of defense.
Obviously the nations still have their military and take into account the protection of the younger ones like Klee, but still.
Imagine this realisation, when your four-year old shows up with a vision and all you can do is help them with their training, maybe nudge them in the direction of the towns wielders so they at least have friends and mentors to fight alongside.
Maybe that's part of the reason why Madame Ping has so many disciples.
