the history of postmodernism is a bit more convoluted I believe, but the idea that queer theory popped up overnight and really could be a well-funded psyop to some degree was I thought just the general consensus now. or anyways it’s still my belief. where was that guy’s article on how it was suddenly talked about as a coherent theory in the media and academics were rubbing their heads like, what is this?

I enjoyed feeding feral cats on my porch this afternoon

Tatters sitting in a chair to take a break between kibbles

Tabby is a scaredy cat, but made his way to the porch after I sat still for several minutes. He kept getting ready to bolt whenever I shifted my feet though

Mr. Orange, the tomcat and #1 highly involved kitten dad of the area, backed off to the other side of the porch to let tabby eat, after him and tatters had their fill. Mr Orange and Tatters are in love, I always see them together, they wind around each other, and they always want to eat from the same pile of kibble with their heads close together

I hate papers where the prompt is like. "Write about something you know about that most people don't," or worse, "write about an issue you're passionate about." Because there is no way my conservative Christian Republican teachers will like what I have to say lmao

My neighbour runs a scam company where he's basically a landlord for landlords (he works from home and takes all his calls in the garden so I get to hear his sale pitch on repeat and it's either a) nonsense or b) just lies) and they've been mildly annoying but like liveable as neighbours. (I mean they haven't fired bb pellets into our garden or thrown constant teen ragers so we can forgive the occasional 1am karaoke party.)

But now the prick has gotten himself a metallic purple lamborghini that he now every single fucking morning revs outside the fucking house at 10am bc he doesn't actually have a real job and then he drives it round the streets for like an hour or so and you can hear it coming back for like a full five minutes bc it's a VERY loud car and we live in a quiet suburb.

Every. Single. Morning.

If they didn't have cameras on their property like the arseholes they are I would very seriously consider pouring sugar in his petrol tank. 🙃🙃🙃

Not me at 8am thinking about how weird it is that anyone turns to blood magic. From a writing/character motivation perspective, it's surprising to me that so many are willing to do so. Three reasons:

1. For the most part, Circle mages are Andrastian. The idea of becoming maleficar should be the greatest sin they can think of. See: Wynne

2. "But fade" you say "that's exactly what proves how desperate they are." Sure, but Andrastian or not, the very idea of being possessed by something evil is akin to gambling with your life. It's a form of suicide.

3. "But fade" you say "that's exactly what proves how desperate they are." Okay but they're LITERAL MAGES. Look at all the legal spells they know. Have a senior enchanter cast a mass paralysis, some miasma, a crushing prison. They have insane control spells. I basically only build control and healing mages and don't even look at the damage spells. A handful of senior enchanters and a few apprentices could do some serious damage without blood magic. Heck, from a purely game mechanics perspective (which is admittedly a poor one), mages are harder to kill than demons. In a fight with mages and demons, you target the mages first cause their spells can eff the whole fight up. Yea, templars have anti magic abilities, but those also work on blood mages! So now what? What's the plan here? As soon as you summon demons, there's really no great end game for a mage.

All of this to say, blood magic is a real lose-lose choice. I suppose if you use blood magic "just a little bit, no demon summoning", you might get away from the Circle and do alright? That must be the allure, the Jowan path, and it's a very narrow one to tread, but the only one that looks like it could have a happy ending. Things still caught up with Jowan, but he was sooo close.

Also, look at our boy Anders, Circle escape artist, no blood magic. Sure, he might be a once in a generation talent.

I have no point, just thoughts. Mainly: have you seen the legal mage spell list? Brooooooo. Blood magic might get you there faster, but paralysis works pretty well on elite and even some bosses. Might be all you need to escape! Don't forget to find your phylactery or it was all for naught, blood mage or no!

They are trying with BIG BILLIONAIRE money to split away Democrat votes so billionaires CAN KEEP screwing over the middle class until we're reduced to the Dark Ages, feudalism, and kings in castles again.

No Labels Isn’t What It Claims to Be

The “No Labels” Party is not what it pretends to be. It’s a front group for Donald Trump.

Now I understand, if you’re sick of the two major parties, you might be intrigued by a party that claims to be a “common sense” alternative that finds the middle ground.

But if you or anyone in your life is planning to vote for No Labels — or any third party — in 2024, please watch and share this video first.

Here are three things you need to know.

First, No Labels is a dark money group with secret far-right donors. Investigative reporting has revealed that they include many of the same Republican donors who have pumped huge sums of money into electing candidates like Trump and Ron DeSantis. They also include the rightwing billionaire Harlan Crow, who spent years secretly treating Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to a lifestyle of the rich and famous.

If the No Labels Party is backed by Trump donors, in an election where Trump is on the ballot, there’s actually a label we should give to “No Labels.” Clearly, they’re a pro-Trump group.

Second, the premise No Labels is based on — that Donald Trump and President Biden are at equally extreme ends of the political spectrum — is preposterous.

Trump has been impeached twice, found by a jury to have committed sexual assault, is facing 91 criminal charges in four separate cases — two of them in connection with an attempt to effectively end American democracy.

There is no “equally extreme” candidate as Trump!

Finally, the structure of the Electoral College means that as a practical matter, a third party only draws votes away from whichever major party candidate is closest to it. No third party candidate has ever won a presidential election.

And in this particular election, when one of the major parties is putting up a candidate who threatens democracy itself, we cannot take the risk.

Donald Trump has already tried to overturn one election and suggested suspending the Constitution to maintain power. It is no exaggeration to say that if he takes the White House again, there may not ever be another free and fair election.

Democracy won by a whisker in the last presidential election. Just 44,000 votes in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin — less than one tenth of 1 percent of the total votes cast nationwide — were the difference between the Biden presidency and a tie in the Electoral College that would have thrown the election to the House of Representatives, and hence to Trump.

If candidates from No Labels— or any other third party, like the Green Party or the Libertarian Party —  peel off just a fraction of the anti-Trump vote from Biden, while Trump voters stay loyal to him, Trump could win the top five swing states comfortably and return to the Oval Office. And No Labels’ own polling shows they would do just that!

Let me be absolutely clear. Third-party groups like No Labels are in effect front groups for Trump in 2024, and should be treated as such.

The supposed “centrism” No Labels touts is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and fascism.

Please share this video and spread the word.
