I've heard a lot of different takes on this, and I can't figure out if I'm way out of the ordinary here. I'm defining grinding as putting 20 or more consecutive actions into the same input for the purpose of gaining a mechanical payoff (spending all your actions following a plot line doesn't count). I also don't count doing opportunity cards as interrupting a grind.
There is no other/nuance/bald option intentionally: pick your best fit. Yeah, in practice people do many things that don't fit these neat boxes, but I'd love a sense of how highly FLumblr prioritizes mechanical progression.

Violent anti-Muslim crowd clashed with UK police in Southport after young girls killed
A large crowd of anti-Muslim protesters clashed with police in the northern English town of Southport, where three girls were stabbed to death and five other children were seriously injured in an attack at a Taylor Swift-themed event a day earlier.
A horrific stabbing incident in Southport on Monday shocked the British people. However, police claimed it was not terrorism-related and that the suspect was born in the UK.
Nevertheless, national-oriented groups fuelled rumours that the suspected teenager was linked to Islam, and police reported that Tuesday’s violence erupted when several hundred people began throwing objects at the mosque. Police has linked the crowd to the English Defence League, a group that sometimes stages violent demonstrations against Islam.
Police cars were damaged and set on fire, officers were attacked with bricks and large rubbish containers. Away from the violence, hundreds of people gathered for an emotional vigil to pay tribute to those killed in the attack by laying flowers and toys. Earlier, Prime Minister Keir Starmer also made a visit to the town to lay flowers.
“The people of Southport are reeling after the horror inflicted on them yesterday. They deserve our support and our respect. Those who have hijacked the vigil for the victims with violence and thuggery have insulted the community as it grieves. They will feel the full force of the law.”
However, after the visit, disgruntled residents approached him with insults and condemnations after which he was forced to leave the town.
Stabbing details
A 17-year-old is currently in custody on suspicion of murder and attempted murder following a bloody rampage at a “Taylor Swift yoga and dance workshop,” a summer holiday for children aged 6 to 11. Besides the three deaths, eight children were stabbed.
Five of them and two adults who were trying to protect them remain in critical condition. Assistant Chief Constable Alex Goss stated:
There has been much speculation and hypothesis around the status of a 17-year-old male who is currently in police custody and some individuals are using this to bring violence and disorder to our streets. We have already said that the person arrested was born in the UK and speculation helps nobody at this time.
The Liverpool Region Mosque Network said a minority of people had tried to use the Southport stabbing to spread hate.
“This evening we have seen distressing scenes outside Southport Mosque with angry protesters gathering outside. This is causing further fear and anxiety within our communities.”
King Charles and his family expressed their horror. US singer Swift also wrote on Instagram that she was “just completely in shock.”
These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families.

I'm just fucking shocked, I can't put into words (I don't live in the UK, not even in the US) but that doesn't change the fact that I'm shocked
Yes, they also attacked an Asian woman, because right-wingers are fascists (which is not a discovery, but they deny it), anti-immigration propaganda is simply dangerous…

Still thinking about Mers so! here's a comparison between Sirens May and the Princess! non-sexual top nudity below (a.k.a. beware ye who enter here: there's tits)
transcription of my writing below:
the arrows pointing to May say:
Hidden Spines
Old and Massive!!! (more powerful than (downwards arrow)
the arrows pointing to the princess say:
tall, yet young (very powerful!)
scales turn blue in the light
and the the arrow pointing to the horizontal line across the page says Normal Siren Height
and of course! @thedeafprophet 's jamie is here to show the size comparison to your typical human! and to look at the princess 👀

in light of the us election...I'm trying to get a job in scotland (or anywhere in the uk/ireland) and hope to stay there for a couple years at least (if you catch my drift) and if anyone has advice on getting a job in the book publishing industry, or if anyone has experience in that field over there, please let me know. I'm getting my postgraduate degree in Creative Writing and English in the spring and was looking at HarperCollins Glascow, though I would accept any book publishing company (big or small) at this point 🙏🙏🙏

Apparently a low voter turnout in London yesterday. Now the ballots will be counted by hand, so we'll have to wait until Saturday to see if Labour will hold London. ARG.
#UK politics#NEVER be complacent about the results of elections#No matter what the polls say#Apparently only 2 million out of 6 million registered voters actually placed their vote#Please don't let the Tories take London...
