Screaming crying throwing up at the Thunder spoiler thread because

-THUNDER SPOILERS-

Frostpaw coming to the realization that the Park Cats have a culture that she likes better than the culture of the clans, and wanting to bring elements of it back home with her? That COULD be an actually good use of a traveling book, and it WOULD be an actually nice change to see the clans do any kind of self-reflection on the violence of their culture. Unfortunately, I don’t trust the Erins even a little bit to follow through in any kind of satisfactory way on that plot thread, so I worry it’s going to result in the Clans once again looking at an outside culture and taking a very xenophobic lesson away from interacting with it.

I'm still trying to work out my feelings on the return of the Park Cats... overall, I think I'm feeling pretty frustrated, and it's coloring my perception of them

I also really disliked Riverstar's Home, though. I hated the traveling, I didn't find the Park very interesting in practice, was annoyed by a ton of small things. It felt like the book only got good once we were back in the forest, so, maybe I'm still tasting my sour introduction to the Park cats.

I also don't have any faith in the authors to handle Waffle and Wasp well, or any of the practices Frostpaw is planning to bring home. At this point I'm expecting it. What's really on my mind is... why?

Why did they create a whole little unchanging cultural bubble, a group under glass, exactly the same as it was during the dawn of the clans... when they were just going to blast Frostpaw with The Avatar State anyway?

She can talk to Riverstar whenever. And every ancestor who served under him. And you don't even have to waste 6 chapters on travelling. Could we not have learned about meditation from Riverstar, if the Erins are soooo eager to shove the ancestors into this and write him as her spirit guide?

Like, all this time dedicated to a culture whose one trait is meditating. I have frustrations with the Sisters and Tribe, but they're interesting concepts, with their own spiritual beliefs, government, and customs. So far, the neo-Park has been bland.

Like Guardians, a bare-bones group that showed up once in an SE and just existed to serve the Clan cats for a while, and send Tigerheart back with new characters.

But like, back to the Lesson of the Park Cats, whatever thing Frostpaw could bring home

I just... man, I go off about Clan Culture and its violence literally all the time, but this arc has been ridiculously peaceful. We are 4/6ths of the way through and there was one major battle, at the end of a book, which was bloodless. All the fighting has been arguments.

What exactly is Frostpaw going to learn from the Park cats? How to be passive? Is that going to help RiverClan get rid of the occupying army? Will the power of mindfulness help them un-forget all of their battle training and remind them how to do their own laundry?

If (if.) The Erins have planned all this out, then what they're going to do next is have Frostpaw take what she's learned, and use it to help un-divide RiverClan.

Which TO BE CLEAR would be good for Frostpaw as a character!

But that's not addressing the violence of clan culture or even leaning into it. That wouldn't really be a cultural change, so much as Frostpaw having learned leadership skills... which, again, makes me wonder what the point of a culture frozen in time really was, when they blasted her with this super strong, unprecedented magic connection to StarClan.

Idk. Just, generally not vibing with this book if the spoiler thread is to be believed.

deseret book is more persistent than duolingo.

i ordered 2 books for a church research project on Black saints in the early Church and also in the Reorganization, on which the one book had a small section us and all had info from the our shared early church history, and it was an ebook too!

and i get physical mail from them once a month. i have no idea how to cancel.

herald house, the community of christ publishing house, contacts me much less, and i buy books from them all the time.

and oh their church book app reminds me to read my scriptures and the words of their prophets regularly if it's not in sleep mode.

i have to admire the effort behind it, ngl.

Embracing Diversity: A Woman's Place is in the White House

This bold and empowering design challenges traditional gender norms while advocating for female leadership at the highest level of American politics. The phrase "A WOMAN'S PLACE IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE" is prominently displayed, likely in strong, assertive typography that commands attention.

Buy now:19.95$

The design cleverly subverts the outdated saying "a woman's place is in the home" by replacing "home" with "White House," making a powerful statement about women's potential and right to hold the highest office in the nation.

Visually, the concept might incorporate:

A stylized image of the White House, perhaps with a female silhouette in the foreground

Portraits or silhouettes of prominent female political figures

Patriotic elements like stars and stripes, subtly integrated into the background

Color schemes likely feature the traditional red, white, and blue of American politics, possibly with added purple to symbolize the blending of political parties or to reference the women's suffrage movement.

This design could appear on various products including t-shirts, posters, mugs, and tote bags. It's aimed at individuals who support gender equality in politics and aspire to see a woman in the presidential office.

This design concept revolves around internet meme culture featuring Vice President Kamala Harris. Memes typically combine humorous or satirical text with images, often playing on current events or Harris's public statements and appearances.

The visual element likely features a photograph or caricature of Harris in a memorable pose or expression. This could be from a well-known public appearance, debate moment, or candid shot that has gained traction online.

Text overlays may include:

Quotes from Harris, either accurate or humorously altered

Witty captions commenting on political situations

Playful references to her role as VP or potential future aspirations

The style often mimics popular meme formats, using bold, impactful fonts and sometimes deliberately low-quality or exaggerated imagery for comedic effect.

These memes can range from lighthearted and supportive to more critical or satirical, depending on the creator's intent and political stance. They might reference Harris's background, her relationship with President Biden, or her handling of specific issues.

This type of content is primarily shared on social media platforms and can sometimes find its way onto merchandise like t-shirts or stickers. It reflects the intersection of politics and internet culture, often serving as commentary on current events through a humorous lens.

Well. Apparently I was much more stressed about the election than I thought because I watched this and started crying.

I forgot what it was like to have actual charismatic politicians campaign. I know we talk a lot about parasocial relationships with them, but one of the things successful leaders do is inspire their people.

We have not had much to be inspired about. Biden is the unflavored tofu of the political world. I was going to do my duty, but nothing beyond that.

Watching other people be hype about her? So hype a majority of the people on ActBlue are first time donors? That 40K Zoom call? (They held another one for Black men and there were 20K on that.)

That fucking means something.

She doesn't have it in the bag (and honestly I'll be anxious until it's over), but I feel like we have a much better chance than before Biden bowed out.

In a lot of liberal/leftist circles there is this unspoken expectation that Black women will do the work because it is necessary but backbreaking. And sometimes I think non-Black people understand and are grateful. But also a lot don't and aren't.

With that in mind, I am absolutely serious when I say I think Kamala Harris might prevent the US from falling to fascism.
