She won't get my vote because she's a politicians and all politicians are bastards.
I’m convinced the “leftists” out here that keep saying Kamala won’t get their vote because she’s not as pro-Palestine as they like are just right-wing sock puppets and trolls. Anyone with at least one functioning brain cell can see that Trump would be infinitely worse for Palestinians — and really everyone — than Kamala will be. This is like not throwing a bucket of water in a fire because you don’t think there’s enough water, so instead you let someone else dump gasoline on it. Less fire is better than more, less genocide is better than more.

Everytime I see “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” as a response to criticisms of people buying Hogwarts Legacy I take a moment to mourn the loss of nuance.
Like yes the above statement is true, but some types of consumption are more ethical than others and context matters. Buying a game based in an antisemitic premise that will line the pockets of a transphobe who has been cited as a source in and actively promotes anti-trans legislature is not the same thing as buying fast fashion because you can’t afford anything better or that’s the only place that sells your size. People need to stop pretending all participation in capitalism is equal.
You can buy Hogwarts Legacy, that much is your right. However, I am also within my right to criticize you and your lack of care for the communities harmed by this game and the author of its universe.

so pixies regularly try to take over fairyworld is timmy on the pixie side?
At first, Timmy was adamantly against the Pixies. He'd tell Jorgen every time he got a notice of their plans to take over Fairyworld, and work to stop it! But it gets a bit harder to resist against your own court the longer you hang out with them.
In the present time, Timmy schedules to be out of FairyWorld during their takeovers. He doesn't try to stop them, but also refuses to be anywhere near when it happens.
He... doesn't like how he's slowly starting to cheer for them. Or how their arguments are becoming more convincing. Or how he's struggling to recall why he was so against them to begin with.
There will come a point where he becomes an active participant. Timmy worries that it's coming sooner than he'd like.

Christmas Data Strike 2024
Instagram is literally suppressing every video I made on reels about this so I’m turning to tumblr. On the 24th and 25th, we are striking on Meta services (Instagram, Facebook) as well as X/Twitter and Tiktok. Streaming services, google, and any amazon services should be boycotted as well if possible.
DO ✅
Engage with activities that are offline
Spend as little time online as possible
Tell your friends and family that you’re going dark and then put your phone in airplane mode!!
DO NOT ❌
Use any of these socials period. Do not give them your screen time
Use google to search for anything - use an alternative search engine
Buy anything online
Stream television or music - download your shows and watch offline if necessary
Why?
These corporations, especially during christmas, use our data to train their models for next year. They want to know what gifts we got and what we’re doing with them. By depriving these companies of our data, we are saying that we want to maintain the right to our data and privacy! Here’s a tiktok video that explains in more detail.
PLEASE reblog for more reach!!! Tumblr is the only platform I can think of that won’t suppress this strike.
#this isn’t just some fringe movement i made up either#millions of people are already doing this on tiktok#so please take this as a sign to participate#it may be difficult but i promise it’s worth it#data strike 2024#data strike#anti meta#anti capitalism#anti corporations#us politics#politics#donald trump#luigi mangione#data privacy#strike#privacy rights#anti social media#netflix#instagram#spotify#facebook#meta#tiktok#google#uhc

the fact that Alicent cares about viserys' disgusting ass more than her own children is really a crazy change, especially after THIS night.
i mean, the new canon tells us that the reason Alicent wanted to seize the throne was not out of fear for the lives of her children, but because VISERYS supposedly wanted it that way. and when it turned out that this was not the case, she easily turned her back on them all and almost was ready to bring Aegon's head to Rhaenyra on a platter.
((look, Otto didn't love his grandchildren, but he would NEVER do that to them, not even to Aegon, whom he can barely stand.))
viserys absolutely dgaf about THEIR - his and Alicent's - family. he didn't care about her feelings, her dignity, her desires. he called her by a wrong name, took away her girlhood, in order to have sons whom he did not love. he never gave her anything in return, only took away. but she shows more respect and LOVE for his ghost than for her own living sons, who are ready to give their all for the sake of a grain of such an attitude towards themselves.
now it looks as if she used her children while they were convenient for her: Aegon, being burned, can no longer guarantee her power - puts him under the enemy's sword, Aemond, who has been her support for years, began to cause problems - does not even remember him. only Helaena is left, and I'm inclined to believe that if she "shows her teeth" too, all of Alicent's tenderness towards her will fade. (daeron, RUUUN-). she hardly perceives them as persons, but this is a separate conversation.
"she wanted to torture one of my sons after her bastards took away his eye with impunity and will want to cut off the head of another my son for the throne, but she will be a good queen with whom I will want to escape into the forest" boys, that was THE moment when you should have run away from here.
she condemns them for the fear and hatred that she has nurtured in them for years. she's really terrible at this show.
tbh, I don't see any redemption for her. but also I don't hope that in this show she will face real consequences, and not senseless humiliation bc... just watch s2.
#“she doesn't owe them anything.” She owes them A LOT#SHE put them in this situation and instead of silently leaving the stage she reveals their plans as if she has the right to do so#don't want to participate in the war? go away. don't stop them from fighting for their lives and don't dare sell them.#She gave birth to them - that's right - but it is not for her to decide their fate#anti alicent hightower#anti viserys i targaryen#anti rhaenicent#anti hotd#house of the dragon#hotd#team green#aegon ii targaryen#helaena targaryen#aemond targaryen#otto hightower#daeron targaryen#my post

Pro-kink advocacy goes hand in hand with aspec advocacy and if you don't understand this you need to start.
#note: yes this includes advocacy for the sex repulsed and averse! the point is that both communities are villified for living outside norms#both communities are actively hated for not conforming to what society deems the natural way of things#the freedom to be proudly kinky comes with the freedom to proudly not participate#it's about a collective shared goal for relationship freedom and personal choice#if you're pro aspec but anti kink you're not getting it. same if you're pro kink but anti aspec.#we have so much in common. i've never felt more accepted than when i've been around kink positive people#we're valuable allies for each other#we're all freaks to normative society. linking up pulls all of us forward#aromantic#asexual#aplatonic#atertiary#aro#ace#apl#arospec#acespec#aplspec#aspec#scowl corner#you don't have to live the lifestyle of someone else to want to see each other succeed.

“why are the illyrians always rebelling” if this was how my leaders spoke about my entire ethnicity i’d crash out too. yes cassian and Azriel have many justified grievances with the Illyrians on a personal and ideological level but to dismiss an entire race of people like this? like it’s one thing for the batboys to do it but for amren who is very much not Illyrian & a high fae for all intents and purposes to be throwing words like “barbarian” out there and mor another high fae sitting there and “nodding empathetically” like….hmmm i’d be in open rebellion too
#your life just sucks so bad if you’re not in velaris#imagine everyone in the government has personal beef with you#because of something that happened to them in childhood you had no knowledge of#and did not participate in#probably weren’t born when it happened#illyria acotar#acotar posting#anti rhysand#anti amren#anti mor#anti morrigan#anti cassian#anti azriel#anti inner circle

I cut your username out of this post because I don't want to unintentionally direct anyone over to you. I do believe you're sorry, and I also believe you didn't intend for any of the things that transpired TO transpire.
I want to answer this, though, because I genuinely believe a LOT of the people who logged out last night to flame the fic are on this website watching, and I want to speak directly to them. I'll never know who they are, and thats unfortunate because to me, it looks like a lot of other people are content to let you be thrown under the bus while taking no accountability for their actions.
I want to share this comment FROM the fic writer who responded to me when I left a comment this morning both condemning the actions of fellow gwynriel/eluciens and encouraging her to continue writing. Look at what she said. She had a mini-breakdown because a small but obnoxiously loud group of people took it upon themselves to not just leave unkind, unnecessary feedback, but to start whole threads about it, take it to other platforms, and otherwise talk shit because a story had *checks notes* conflict.
The fic is tagged: slowburn, eventual romance, AND the elain x azriel relationship. She did her due diligence as far as what she owes people- ya'll don't read tags and engage with the story like it was written specifically FOR you. First of all- it was written for ME. But lets pretend it wasn't, because I think the only reason people are backtracking is because I took offense. You shouldn't do this to ANYONE.
EVER!!!!
And I see a lot of ya'll writing your first fics and your comments are always something to the flavor of "be kind, I'm new/nervous/worried" and then you turn around and do this stuff to other writers like you're OWED your very specific vision of what these characters are, should be, or should act like.
This happens TOO OFTEN in this ship, and frankly, I'm tired of it. You guys will turn on people writing in your own ship if it doesn't adhere to YOUR specific, NARROW vision of "canon" (FANON) and wholesale bully people out, and whats left? A bunch of chronically online assholes whining that no one wants to draw art, write fic, or participate because they're afraid of you. Ya'll act like this is some moral crusade and if you ship the "right" thing, you can't possibly be a bully.
But its just bullying, dressed up as passion for the ship.
This isn't directed at you, OP- I'm talking to the other people who are letting you fall on this sword, who are absolutely watching this, who participated, and will likely to continue acting like this. But they'll be the first to scream and sob when another anonymous blog pops up to talk the same shit, and there will no irony or awareness around any of it. This is the culture some of you have created. Shocking you get it back in ten fold.
#im on my high horse about this today because first of all how fucking dare all of you who participated#you guys deserve to be outed- you do this shit CONSTANTLY and then turn around#and act outraged when other people do it back to you#and i'm over it#I'm literally so over the way subsections of this fandom treat fic writers like were just content machines for your disposal#you can do/say whatever you want because its out there and youre entitled to other peoples time#i wouldnt wish this on you because having been subjected to the “i think you're anti-gwyn” sentiment#it fucking sucks#but im not gonna hold your hand and be nice about it either#to quote the philosopher jojo sewa: karmas a bitch#YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER

The biggest disconnect I have with others online as far as pop culture analysis goes is that I think that it's good for adults to play and many other people do not
#in fact a lot of anti nerd culture/fandom critique is like solely based on emotional disgust at the idea of adults participating in Play#which i often forget. i should stop forgetting though. it explains a lot!

Saw a truly abhorrent bt post and got the hateritis strong again, so I went to open the anti bt tag to have a look at it, now that the break-up is a few weeks old. But, because this is the hellsite and the search function is a bit uh, dysfunctional, I end up seeing posts tagged both bt and anti buddie. And it's just so funny. 'Buddie shippers bully the cast and crew' my brother in christ you wanted to deport Oliver Stark
#anti bucktommy#the amount of mental gymnastics is staggering#like okay i get sticking to your ship and not wanting buddie to happen#but... holy shit people#and i wont pretend buddie shippers are some sort of angels bc a lot of us are not#i dont participate but people being mean over a ship is like fandom hallmark#but seeing people act like bt shippers are the poor victims (and also a majority) is just sad. and kinda funny#anyway#buddie#crow rambles while high on sleep deprivation

Ok. Let’s talk lure coursing safety.
A pretty awful accident occurred during the lure coursing at UKC Premier this past week. I wanna make it clear that I cannot and will not be passing any kind of judgement on what happened. I was not there, I do not know many details other than the owner themselves called it a freak accident.
And the truth of lure coursing is that even if/when things are done perfectly, this kind of accident is always a possibility. There is a certain amount of risk you must weigh and decide to take when you decide to let your dog lure course.
1. Mechanical Risks - like with this accident, there is always the possibility for injury when coming in close proximity to a thin, tensioned wire running at speeds upwards of 30+ mph. Line burns on paws and lower legs are not uncommon, and many dogs run muzzled to prevent them from cutting their mouths when trying to bite a moving line. Azula has gotten tangled and line burnt after the line, loosened by wet conditions, popped off a pulley mid run. I myself have scars from some pretty awful line burn after a freak accident while setting up the field.
To help mitigate this risk, the huntmaster should always have a knife or scissors on hand and should be closely watching the dogs running so they can cut the line and release tension at any sign of a tangle. The lure operator should be highly trained and also be keeping out for any sign of danger so they can stop the lure when needed. As a competitor, make sure you are aware of the line at all times. Not only where it is, but when it is and isn’t moving. I try to never move my dog over a moving line, and when I am moving over a line, I am either taking extra tall steps or stepping on it to make sure I don’t trip (but, DO NOT step on a moving line). Try not to grab a line unless absolutely necessary and never ever ever grab a moving line - you will cut through your hands.
2. Other Dogs - lure coursing is one of the few (maybe the only?) dog sports where multiple dogs are competing at the same time potentially hundreds of yards away from their humans. It’s a high arousal and highly competitive environment, and this can lead to conflict between dogs. Sometimes this can be mitigated with muzzles and sometimes the dog should simply not be participating in lure coursing. If it is your dog that is aggressive and putting others at risk, please do not run them in the Open or Specials stakes. Dogs can have just as much fun running in singles and no title is worth potentially endangering your dog and others by running a dangerous dog.
However sometimes the risk comes simply from dogs running together at high speeds. Dogs can unintentionally bump into or trip each other, I’ve seen dogs leap over another in the field, tumble into each other while slowing down, and run into each other when they’re paying too much attention to the lure and not enough to the other dogs on the field. Sometimes unintentional contact happens and it’s important to recognize that too. There’s really not much that can be done in those cases.
3. Field Conditions - heat, rain, snow, height of grass, dry ground, rocks, trees, and the course plan itself can all pose issues when running. The club running the event should be continuously assessing these and doing what they can to alleviate the effects, but there’s a lot that you have to judge for yourself and what you know about your own dog. Wrapping paws or soaking them in water can help minimize injury due to dry ground, soaking a dog in water can help keep them cool on hot days, and knowing how your dog may handle tight turns can help you evaluate whether you should enter based on the plan for the course.
Fields with numerous trees or other obstacles are dangerous for dogs who may be paying more attention to the lure than their surroundings. If you’ve never been to the field before I highly suggest talking to someone was has to get a feel for what to expect.
4. Honest to God Freak Accidents - sometimes shit happens. A dog steps into a hole no one noticed and breaks their leg. A group of deer pop onto the field and your dog takes off after them, disappearing for hours. A dog with no prior indications has a cardiac event mid run, and is gone before anyone can even process that they’ve stopped running.
Sometimes there is absolutely nothing that could have been done differently and things just happen. It unfortunately is part of life and something that can be so hard to accept. Occasionally, there is no rhyme or reason, no blame to lay. When you go to that coursing event and run your dog, you’re entrusting that a lot of the risk has been mitigated for you by those running the event. That’s why it’s so important to know who that is and what experience they have.
But beyond that, you are assuming some amount of gambling by participating in lure coursing. The sport itself has dangers that cannot be managed away. But so does agility, and flyball, and disc, and dock diving, and any other sport of any kind. This does not mean that any of these things should be discontinued, but that you should not take any of these lightly and consider the risks vs the rewards, both personal and for your dog. Lure coursing has unfortunately become fairly available to do on a whim in recent years when it is truly something you should be heavily educated about before choosing to participate.
#lure coursing#dog sports#dogblr#idk how to wrap it up really so there you have it#congrats if you read all that#tldr dog sports all carry risk pls consider the risk vs reward and educate yourself before participating#and like y’all know I am hugely pro coursing and racing this post is absolutely not anti sports#but I think with the popularity of FastCATs nowadays a lot of people take lure coursing way too lightly#until of course something like this blows up and people start calling for it to be discontinued#there’s probs so much I’m forgetting or missing but it’s 1 am now and I’m going to bed#so feel free to ask questions here or in my asks or dm idc

Yeah let's also cancel Lewis Hamilton for meeting and having conversations with Putin... Yeah... Also maybe Seb too because he was also there???? Yeah... Right...some of you have never had a job where you had to talk positively about someone you didn't like or approved just for the sake of keeping that job.
idk which time ur talking about hamilton and putin meeting up and making friends, as the only time i can find that they've interacted was at the 2015 russian grand prix where putin was giving out the race trophies. hamilton, vettel, and perez were all on the podium for that race. correct me if im wrong and theres another time theyve met, but thats literally all i can find.
now, first of all, there's a big difference between having to interact with a political figure on a race podium, and choosing to interact with them freely out in the paddock, taking pictures with them, and praising them in additional interviews. there's also a big difference between being polite to the current leader of the country you're in that is known for killing/imprisoning people who speak out against him, and actively supporting an ex-leader who has (as far as we know) never actually killed someone for not being supportive.
if you ask me, it would've been unsafe for hamilton or any of the drivers on that podium to speak out against putin at that moment or act impolitely. on the other hand, the biggest trouble norris could get in for not praising trump and taking pictures with him is maybe a talking too back at the mclaren HQ. like, lets be real, it would be ridiculous and insane of mclaren to fire norris after all the time/resources theyve put into his development, especially now that its finally starting to pay off. it would be like shooting themselves in the foot, a move thats generally reserved for ferrari's strategy team or sauber's pit stops.
furthermore, you are simply assuming that norris' job wouldve been at risk in this situation. not once has it been implied that he was threatened or coerced into this situation. its even less likely that that has happened since piastri hasn't made any comments or taken any pictures with trump as far as i can find. for all we know, it could've been norris' idea to do all that. so, not exactly the strongest defense here.
and even if he had been forced into the corner and told to take pictures and play nice, he also took it a step further to compliment trump in other interviews saying it was an "honor" and there's a lot to "respect" about trump. hamilton has never come out saying any of that about putin. in fact, he has come on the record since then condemning putin and his actions. can you tell me where norris has come out condemning trump and his actions? no? that's funny.
#even if you did make the baseless assumption that everything lando norris did this weekend was being forced by mclaren#its still a stupid argument#theres a difference between being nice with “someone you dont like” and praising a literal bigoted wanna-be dictator#anyone with any kind of moral backbone in that situation wouldnt have allowed things to go that far and wouldve taken a stand against it#u dont think all those protests that hamilton and other drivers like vettel participated in put their jobs at risk?#u dont think that put a lot of pressure and danger on them?#yet they still chose to do the right thing#dont come into my inbox again spewing this nonsense#even if hamilton was getting real buddy buddy with putin#hes educated himself grown as a person and publicly changed his stance#and until norris does the same he has lost my respect#lewis hamilton#lh44#lando norris#anti lando norris#ln4#mclaren#mercedes#donald trump#vladimir putin#politics#adding so people can filter those out#formula 1#f1#reds ask tag
