Someone hints they don't like Phee Genoa on the internet: "SOUND THE BANNERS! MARCH AT DAWN! PROTECT HER!"
Someone hints they don't like Trace and Rafa Martez on the internet: ::crickets::
As someone who works closely with the Latinx community in my city and is deeply involved in it as a neighbor and academic, I'm so incredibly disappointed that there is not the same amount of protection and defense for the Martez sisters. This is especially for Trace, who I think is adorable.
A curly-haired sassy bright working class gearhead who ends up accidentally being a hero? Come on. She's Caylee from Firefly. We need more people like her.

I love that Rafa remembers how they first met. Out of the two I feel like it was more meaningful for him since he was just a kid at the time (17) and we all know he was such a fanboy ☺️

Rafa first retweeted the RG tweet but then he tweeted it again with his congratulations. That's how you know it was really him and not Benito

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the courageous heroes who will save America and Gaza...
The "Progressives" Who Won't Do Anything!
We are progressives
Who don't do anything
We stay home and we
Refuse to vote!
And if you ask us
To do anything
Well just tell you...
...We're abstaining
Well I wouldn't vote for Hillary
Cuz she was problematic
And I couldn't vote for Biden
Cuz that geezer's hit the wall
And I won't accept an ally
If we disagree on anything
And I'm not voting for Harris in the fall...!
Cuz we're "progressives"
Who won't do anything
We just like to act
Righteous online
And when minorities
Beg us to do something
We'll just tell them...
...We're "protesting!"
Yeah I love to harp on Gaza
But the fact that Trump would make the war
A hundred times more bloody
Doesn't factor in at all!
I don't care about the outcome
I just like some moral hand washing
I'm fine if Trump takes over in the fall!
Cuz we're progressives
Who won't do anything
We'll vote "third party"
Or not at all
And when Trump says ...
"Let Israel finish the job!"
We'll just tell you...
"But Harris supports Israel!"
Adult Who Does Their Research: "And Palestine! She wants to rebuild Gaza and get the Palestinians a free state! Can you imagine the waves that would send through that part of the world, if a WOMAN president was the one to help the Palestinians? The affect that could have on Afghanistan? Iran?
She can't magically end the war, but she cares about the Palestinians one hell of a lot more than the Islamophobic narcissist does!
And not to sound cold, but the war in Gaza is just a drop in the bucket of terrible things going on in the world that Trump can make a LOT worse! Not to mention everything here at home! Have you been following *any* other news?"
Look, I'm sad that Ro was overturned
The middle class is shrinking
And I do remember kids in cages at the boarder wall
And I want to help the homeless
And I care about transgender rights
Just not enough to vote for them this fall!
Cuz we're Progressives
Who don't do anything
We just preach and fap
And b*tch online
And if you beg us
To please do something
We'll just tell you
We're not choo-oosing!
Using violent insurrection
To overturn the election
And all of the other blatant fascist writing on the wall
Doesn't bother me the slightest
Cuz I slept through Modern History...
Adult Who Does Their Research: You guys are putrid.
....And we're happy to let Trump back in this faaall!
Are you an "activist" who takes action? Or just a dressed-up vegetable?

So I went to see Old 97s the other night and, see my vision, "Longer Than You've Been Alive" as a Big Four Song. It's a long song and I'm editing out the parts that are "booze, drugs and rock & roll" specific but you still get..
This part that's Nadalcaraz, and Murray with Draper, Roger and Novak with the young guys at Laver Cup:
We've been doing this longer than you've been alive
Propelled by some mysterious drive
And they still let me do it as weird as that seems
And I do it most nights and then again in my dreams
Infinite hallways and giant hotels
Dressing room looks about as good as it smells
. . .
2. Time on the road, highs and lows over the years
We've been in nightclubs and we've been in bars
Honky-tonks and theaters from Memphis to Mars
Most of our shows were a triumph of rock
Although some nights I might have been checking the clock
3. This next verse is EXTREMELY Andy Murray:
I'm only human though I'm super at times
I jump off of risers I should not have climbed
Rock jumps won't kill you until one of them does
Well they'll say "He died doing what he loves"
4. Pick your ship:
We got our share of loving in our past
Although we were all looking for someone who'd last
Well, it must be hard to get partnered with me
Some narcissism, some OCD [OK THIS ONE IS Novak/Rafa though]
Well love that comes easy's a fake or a fluke
Love is a marathon, sometimes you puke
Rock 'n' roll's been very very good to me
The open road's the only place I wanna be
5. The grind of fame/the long tour:
I'm not crazy about songs that get self-referential
And most of this stuff should be kept confidential
Aw but who even gives half a fuck anymore
You should know the truth, it's both a blast and a bore
6. McEnroe, Borg, Connors. . .
Rock stars were once such mythical creatures
Up there with Presidents, playmates and preachers
7. ALL OF THEM (but maybe we start with Novak doing a striptease):
Now I've made a living out of shaking my ass
And if you offer me an office, I'd have to pass
But our jobs are all jobs, and sometimes they suck
I love what I do, and I've had pretty good luck
8. And the great moments...
All the fans are all clapping screaming and squealing
And I won't lie to you, that's a pretty sweet feeling
And I might butt heads with the guys in my band
But I never once went to work for The Man
The men and the woman like you him & her
We're sharing this night that will soon be a blur
We've been doing this longer than you've been alive
Get on the bus, and tell the driver to dri-i-ive

Rafa's Happy Birthday Special 5: Rafa's Sick Daze
I didn't have any idea on what to do for my birthday this year... that is, until i suffered from allergies at the start of Spring, which struck me with inspiration.
Time to give credits where credit is due.
First off, huge thanks to @matmadness for making the 3D model of Fay Tay (which he just finished modelling the whole thing yesterday), and even doing the porting work himself.
Would commission him again!
And secondly, official voice reveal from the casting call! Presenting...
@RainbowBlosso16 as the official voice actress of Fay Tay.
She stated that Fay Tay's her favourite OC of mine, which made her a rather easy choice to cast her.

September 15 marks the start of Hispanic Heritage month; in the past I've talked about Teresa Rivera, one of Barbie's more well-known friends, but this year I thought I'd talk about a few other Barbies.
Mattel spotlighted this video for Hispanic Heritage Month, featuring Barbie's friend Rafa celebrating his Puerto Rican culture. Rafa is a character from such Barbie media as It Takes Two and Big City, Big Dreams. As a result, one of his rare appearances in the doll line was in the Big City Big Dreams playset.
Rafa also appeared in a Mexico-exclusive release in 2020.
Or, at least, a character named Rafa did. I'm not sure honestly if it's supposed to be the same character -- they certainly don't look much alike. But they do have the same name and were released in consecutive years. So perhaps Mattel was tinkering with the character concept.
