honestly, re: my last reblog, but it's so funny to me how unbearably annoying humans in mass effect are, like you guys!!!!! calm down!!! you JUST arrived!!! maybe take in your surroundings for 5 seconds before declaring you should be treated like the most special princesses of all and have all the advantages ever without any drawback and be recognized as the supreme leaders who have all the clarity and drive and righteousness to solve everything and be the victims of everyone's envy and meanness and the ultimate heroes who will save everyone in spite of themselves...... 😔😔😔

Damned if you do...

So because I've seen it a couple of times I want to point to an interesting problem: To make change you need allies. You need powerful allies with lots of connections. You need allies who are probably problematic. But if you associate with them you will seem problematic too. So will you do it? Or will you decide to remain pure and accept that you are powerless?

Lana del Rey (ft. Jack Antonoff) ֍ Hey Blue Baby (Live at The Ally Coalition Talent Show) (2018)

Hey blue baby Put that Hank Williams on It's your little blue baby Callin' for her favorite song Get out that whiskey Pour it right quickly Put them hallway lights on I hope one day you can remember Our love before it all went wrong

But the only stars we saw were in the sky Not the boulevard And the only thing we wanted was to be free And the only girl you had eyes for played downtown At the local bar That was me She was me

Do what you have to do Just know your baby's back here waiting Just know she thinks you're really cool

No, the best answer to anger is understanding!

The problem w anger, is that instinctively your 20,000 node decision tree has realized there is an inequality happening and you cant do anything about it.

In order to over come the upset feeling, you have to sit w the anger until the tree reveals what made you upset, and document it.

Once you understand why you became angry, you have defused the anger, and can then start the process of addressing the various points that caused the anger.

The more you understand the points in the 20,000 node decision tree, the more that will slowly be exposed. So, prepare to have a conversation w people about the points you have uncovered, and see what additional points are uncovered.

So, while people see that you,re being silent, they are mis understanding how the process of resolving anger works.

You arent being silent, you just arent showing them what you are building ..

Because, what you are most likely getting angry at is .. bad behavior from someone in a position of power .. and wo allies, documentation, witnesses, support, and ways to confront the inequality .. you are just a single person saying ..

Wo ways to confront the inequality .. you are just a single person saying .. What can I do?!?! ...

What can i do? .. You can do a lot when you raise awareness.

Not to start talking about aussie politics, but you can't say that you support women and victims and totally aren't a bunch of morally corrupt, grubby, misogynistic assholes and a failure as a political party who think women are lying about being raped, while um...treating brittany higgins the way you're treating her.

Australia Should Have Stuck With The French

The great submarine betrayal of France by Australia, which resulted in AUKUS is now shown to be a bad idea. The liar of Australian politics, former PM Scott Morrison who is loathed by President Macron was the key driver behind the international betrayal. Australia should have stuck with the French when it comes to building submarines to protect our national security. In light of Donald Trump��s behaviour and the US becoming an unreliable ally AUKUS seems a very bad idea. Already, labelled the worst deal in history by former PM Paul Keating, the $368 billion deal commits Australia to a Trumpian America now siding with Putin’s Russia over Ukraine. “Some U.S. allies are considering scaling back the intelligence they share with Washington in response to the Trump administration’s conciliatory approach to Russia, five sources with direct knowledge of the discussions told NBC News. The allies are weighing the move because of concerns about safeguarding foreign assets whose identities could inadvertently be revealed, said the sources, who included two foreign officials.” - (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-pivots-russia-allies-weigh-sharing-less-intel-us-rcna194420) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVJE4S1Glx8

AUKUS & USA No Longer Reliable National Security Pathways

America is no longer a reliable ally under the Trump regime, as it is full of questionable individuals who have not passed their own national security checks. A cabinet made up of right wing political hacks, FOX News presenters, and batshit crazies. The culture wars have been made a priority rather than actual expertise in their cabinet portfolios. This is government by celebrity and reality TV rather than the sober approaches that have gone before. Americans wanted to shake things up, well that is happening and there will be consequences. Trump is making enemies on the world stage and these folk have an appetite for a stoush. Canada is keen for a fight in response to the 25% tariffs imposed by Trump and the derogatory statements, he made, which accompanied the trade war moves. Mexico is likewise punching back. Europe, including the UK and France, is expressing their continued commitment to the Ukrainian defensive war against Russian aggression. Betraying an ally is no small thing in the international sphere. The French Are Sticking Tough With Ukraine, As Is Australia “French President Emmanuel Macron has said he will discuss with European allies the possibility of using France's nuclear deterrent to protect the continent from Russian threats, amid concerns over potential US disengagement. France is the only nuclear power in the European Union.” - (https://www.9news.com.au/world/french-president-flags-sharing-nuclear-weapons-with-europe/21efee8a-2b65-46db-b5e7-ffe7d96a4be1) Australia should have stuck with the French instead of taking the AUKUS U-turn. Now, we are in bed with the whacko Trump who cannot be relied upon as a staunch ally. Putin’s best friend is not Australia’s. The LNP Coalition took us down this road and Scott Morrison is over there filling his pockets as we speak. Albanese continued on with the AUKUS deal but things have changed since the election of Trump 2.0. It is time to stop and review this expensive and sketchy deal. Australia needs to  find its own way rather than give over its sovereignty to a US cosying up to Putin and other dictators. Since WW2, Australia has walked its own middle ground internationally, until AUKUS that is. Fears of the yellow peril have always been around downunder. The reason why Chinese warships are doing naval exercises in our waters is because we have been in the Taiwan Straits with the Americans doing the same – it is tit for tat stuff.

Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS by U.S. Forest Service (source) is licensed under CC-CC0 1.0 AUKUS will not deliver any submarines, if ever, until the mid to late 2030s. It is not the time to be throwing our weight around with displays of military aggression. The LNP Coalition governments played the blame China card repeatedly at great economic cost to Australia. The Albanese government has fixed most of these trade sanctions via diplomacy.  Dumb machismo posturing is not smart, even if it feels good to morons. Australian independence has to be predicated on smarts not on sucking up to deranged dictators like Trump. Perhaps, we could give the French a call and say sorry and how about some submarines.
