petty school bullshit sorry and i will sound even more immature than usual due to lack of sleep but i want to throttle my uni counselor so bad i didn't spend weeks of non stop reading about how shit and deregulated the mining industry is only for you to say "but you have to make a realistic thesis, the rules exist and mining companies do try to follow them, you could make a thesis about how to nicely accompany them in best practices :)" i hate this environment school and its absolute absence of backbone and its constant discouraging of students to have a political lens when it comes to the environment

like yeah i can't write a thesis starting with "it's shit." what i can do tho is not give an ugly ass business school veneer when addressing a very serious environmental issue that especially affects indigenous people and marginalized communities

As far as I’m concerned, seeing booth after booth staffed by independent artists celebrating queer people is one of the greatest perks of Pride celebrations. Where else can I go to find a group of sellers like this? Where else would they be targeting their wares in such a way? What other opportunities can I have to directly support so many local artists, many of them queer themselves, at the same time? There may exist queer-focused artisan’s galleries, but they I can’t imagine that they get nearly as much widespread attention as Pride.

One of the things that Pride should be about is community, and part of having a strong community is supporting each other. Letting small businesses rent booths at Pride is a natural extension of that.

So let's talk about this for a minute.

First of all, how do you think Pride events fund themselves and stay free for attendees? O.o Vendor fees aren't all of it - a lot of money comes from sponsors - but like... we paid $1300 to vend at Seattle Pride this year. That's the money that pays the people who work to make Pride happen. That is not free. Pride as an event does not just magically happen. A lot of people work really hard to make Pride happen and to clean up after it.

We're a small trans-owned company and 100% of our employees are trans & queer. We jokingly refer to Pride as "Gay Christmas". The money we make during Pride means we stay open, Pride events get vendor fees, and our employees get paid for the rest of the year. This company does not exist without Pride events. The only reason we survived as a company during COVID is because my wife has a stable, good IT job.

This shit isn't free to do. It does not just magically happen. Performers need to get paid. Tech crew needs to get paid. Equipment needs to be rented for performers. Stages need to be rented. Electrical services need to be paid for so food can happen. Ice and water cost money. Trash pickup costs money.

A lot of people volunteer and donate, but festivals and big community events? They cost money, and the money we pay to be able to vend is part of how Pride events happen. Without that, small queer businesses like @nerdykeppie don't survive and the only people putting their money in to make this happen, AND MONEY NEEDS TO CHANGE HANDS FOR EVENTS TO HAPPEN, are Smirnoff and fucking Wells Fargo.

For fuck's sake. Y'all want small queer businesses, but you really don't want us to actually survive, do you?

I'm like 90% sure you haven't answered this before, but sorry in case you have, lol. What was DU drow’s motivation for stopping Shadowheart from killing the Nightsong? He seems to not really like pushing her one way or another, so is it basically the same way he felt about Astarion ascending?

He didn't stop her. Shadowheart spared Aylin of her own merit without his intervention🤷‍♂️

DU drow had no reason to get in her way. He finds this Shar junk extremely self-defeatist, but their friendship has always been based around not-getting-into-each-other's-businesness. He still wanted Shadowheart to fullfil her desires and fully expected her to follow through with the Nightsong's sacrifice - her change-of-heart was a shock for him as much as everyone else, but he was ultimately relieved about it. He kinda knew this small kindling of a friendship would have likely vanished otherwise. After sparing Aylin, they became much closer.

If anything, Shadowheart's actions served to further cement his choice both in resisting his father and pushing against Astarion's plan to ascend. So she was more the catalyst for his future actions rather than the other way around.

USA really is retrogressing right now and it's so funny to be a spectator tbh.

The world is fighting for queer rights and the Supreme Court goes on to say busineses can reject working for queer people if they want to.

The biggest most helpful step in education of a population was canceling student debts and oooh the Supreme Court said the president trying to improve American lives was unconstitutional.

They say "lives matter" but oops no abortions allowed and gun laws are practically non-existent.

IM SORRY THE "FIRST WORLD" COUNTRY AMERICA IS SO FUNNY RIGHT NOW.

（︶︿︶）I fucking hate this kind businese bad guys╭∩╮If they meet me I will absolutely bring the bad guys to justice and take them to the police. I'm so pissed off!!!

Women are forced to have sex with tea plantation managers in order to work in Lipton tea, PG Tips (Unilever) and Finlay’s tea (supplies Tesco, Sainbury’s and Starbucks). The issue is clearly systemic and wide spread. I don’t buy tea from these brands but I will definitely double check the ethical standards and transparency of the supply chain when I make a purchase.

Get it?! Lan~*

[ophernelia]

you ONLY grew up around black poeple? how?

Chicago is very segregated. Out south and out west is primarily black. Exclusively so when I was growing up. Most times you won’t see people of other races unless you go to certain stores or busineses. Or if they’re gentrifying the area. Or if the corn man is around, but I haven’t seen much of him in years.

Day 7 - Perth

Today I rested and explored Perth. My first impression of Perth was underwhelming. There were some nice old stone buildings but nothing jazzed me. After wandering around town today, I've completely changed my opinion. It's a beautiful town (locals claim that it's the most beautiful town in Ontario) with historic stone buildings, influential Canadians that have lived here, art, culture and most importantly, food.

Town hall built 1863 - 1864.

The Matheson House built in 1840 is a great example of the stone architecture in Perth.

Homes dating back to about 1820 & 1850.

The Tay River runs through town supporting Stewart Park and busineses.

Art and culture is everywhere with flowers, murals, and theatre.

It wasn't until I was thirsty and hungry that I found the hidden gems of Perth. Perth is a "foodie find". The town has 2 craft breweries (making excellent beer, personally verified), a coffee roastery, numerous cafes, and unique restaurants. I think that if I stayed a couple more days, I'd discover more culinary gems and love Perth even more.

Fun story. I stopped into North Folk Cafe to buy some kombucha. I got talking to the server, Damon, and found out that he had a gravel bike and he rides the Trans Canada Trail. He's had trips through Waterloo, Lindsay, Haliburton, and a number of towns that I've spent time in. We compared notes on trail quality and lamented how portions of it have been torn up by ATBs. I later learned that his wife was Mexican, he's studying Spanish, and he visits Mexico every year. It was crazy to learn that we have been living in a parallel universe. I expect to see him again.

no because like heres the thing right i know i havent shut up abt hunchback for the past like,,,6 months but i wanna make it clear that i dont,,,support disney or anything??? and i know that hypocritical and contradictory to say because i regularly post about the musical which is also owned by disney. i dont support shit like that? i think theyre just money hungry and like,,idk man fuck the industry.

i also dont support or at the very least look forward to the new remake. its laughable because the productions put on by disney have a penchant for having tone problems. this was an issue in the 90′s, it was an issue with the musical and it will be an issue when the remake comes out. you cant disney-fy hunchback because its not a happy story. thats why the cartoon didnt work thematically speaking. the musical was a lot better because it strayed from the happy ending, but it still stuck to the altered disney plot, which doesnt work bc??? thats not how hunchback works? like you cant have both, either change it completely or just make a dark movie oh my god the world wont end. i just think its funny that the conclusion they��ve come to is “ah! lets make another remake of a movie that has historically not done well and is part of a series of remakes that are generally critically badly received. because we’re disney.” 

idk man i think it’s kind of fucked, can’t wait to see the one token poc female actress in hollywood they choose to play esmerelda, and if lin manuel miranda ends up playing clopin i might snap a pencil. 

fuck big busineses, fuck the rich, support local creators, and cast a different goddamn performer every once in a while for christs sake.

Dissolving Dependency Through Targeted Redevelopment

The Nigerian president postponed presentation of the Nigerian budget to rush to Cash-trapped France for a state visit.  The former Lagos boss, turned president, was eager to make the ill-timed state visit to sign a few cooperations and memoranda after US court documents allegedly revealled the state head to be an active CIA asset, the Express Tribune reports.  A fact most of the world's leaders and institutions of civil society and order have kept silent about.

Doubtless Abuja will be spinning some kind of bilatetal deal with Paris, even though France is broke itself.  Unfortunately, many Arican, Asian and Latin American states are not ready to discard the charade of finance that has kept many of its nations in perpetual poverty. Surely many of these richly endowed states could easily buy their Western European benefactors twice over.  But instead, they are making ill-planned trips to tiny, overcrowded, resource-less Western European nations seeking fake money for real value.  Even the US knows it outstrips Western Europe on resources and value in rich indigenous lands.

Recently, Chad swapped out France for Hungary as a security partner against Sahel jihadisy militants,  France 24 reports.  The move was touted by some as sovereignity and a humiliation by the melodramatic in what has been an obvious trend of territorial downsizing by France. In fact, the Hungary Times reported it is getring French manufatured military aircraft shipments and arrillery for its Chad mission.  It is  unlikely that this changing of the guard caught France by surprise.  However, such is the extravagant political theatre of France and its vassals. Financially, Paris is overstretched, and it has had to abdicate prized territories to other Western powers.  The world is witnessing the deployment of a modern-day Berlin Agreement. 

Africa's leaders wait in the balance for Western leaders to divide land, property and denominate currency.  It is an unholy dependency that has left millions of Africans across the continent unable to scale business, actualize innovations and develop new technologies.  These economies are essentially hamstrung by their Western European partners that dole out jobs sparingly and refuse to finance local  enterprise and industry. AllAfrica News has just reported that Standard Charter Bank will exit Uganda, Botswana and Zambia, on performance and profitability, Daily Express Uganda reports. Again, African states get nothing.

Plainly put, African states are dependent on external conglomerates and multintionals of every ilk to function.  It is a dependency that ultimately betrays the future of African civilians,  students, families and busineses across the continent. Milions of Africans (young and old) sit home unable to function in their own Fatherland, because their economies do not work.  Many are relegated to hard labor for a pitance in economies that disdain their ardent struggles without adequate reward.  The reliance on external brands, technology and production makes Africa a quintessential target.  Even resources such as food production are sourced abroad in what becomes a system of maximum food insecurity.  Brookings reports that Africa imports only about 20 percent of its food needs through intercontinental trade, while the vast majority is beyond the Africa region.

Often such observations concerning the continent are met with the same sort of indifference or pity as that surrounding Nigeria's American CIA problem.  However, states might begin to take stock of how they can take back and fortify their own nations.  This happens in a number of ways.  But it starts with citizens and those in functional levels of government coming together to push for four major adoptions: Alignment,  Long-Term Benefit, Military Capacity-Building, and Financial System and Market Development.

I. Fortification Through Alignment

African states begin fortification through Alignments with that states that help it accomplish financial and military goals. Just recently, the Middle East Eye reported that satellite imagery revealed Turkiye was still shipping fuel to Israel. In October, an Al Jazeera report discovered that the US, UK, Italy, Germany, Cypress and Greece were supporting the Israeli Military siege in Gaza.  The UN has since issued arrest warrents for genocide to the regime's leadership. It provides a compelling point that Western states will even align with those who commit crimes against humanity,  if it serves their interests.  African states must pivot to pursue their best interest in a similar manner. At this point and time the West has lost all of its credibility as a rational actor for justice, democracy and freedom in the world. It is a sentiment that has been retired by its currnt functionaries. It will be up the incoming opposition party leaders in Western enclaves to repair the damage, ignore or exacerbate the eroding reputation.

Principally,  this means African states must do what is best for its own interests moving forward. It must divorce itself from the notion that its former colonial adversaries and their allies will help it reach its developmental and economic goals.  That hasn't happened in decades, and now it is time to move on from the delusion. There is no moral high ground to keep in the naked barbarity of the Israeli Genocide against Palestinians. It is time to pursue aignments that make sense for African states.

II.  Effective Long-term Negotiation

Several African states have been accepted as BRICS+ members and/or partners in the past few years.  The Brics alliance has various benefits for the world and the global south.  It also poses a great opportunity for African states to reach markets under difgerent trade arrangements. Often the Achilles heel of many African states has been the inability, unwilliness or skill to negotiate deals that fortify for long-term benefit. 

Currently, many projects that do present long-term benefit were forged by China.  Beijing is internationally known for its capacity to plan in the long term, therefore it often offers deals that yield greater benefit.  However Africa cannot always rely on its trading partners to seek win-win deals.  It must begin focusing on partnerships, negotiations and contracts that yield more benefits. 

Kenya's projected Airport Lease arrangement offers a typical case study into the poorly planned deals that haunt Africans and their future generations. Although that deal was cancelled after the US indicted the Adni Group, it reveals a leadership trend desperate to negotiate deals th at pawn th e future of the average Kenyan. The IMF dictated economy-killing budgets that leave African sttes in prolonged  financial paralysis are yet another example of poorly negoriated deals.

And while economic hitmen are real, states wishing to circumvent intrigues do well to make such budget mstters public.  When people understand what is at stake, they are much more likely to demand the better option.  More citizens must be involved in the process of state deal-making.  States may even find it helpful to employ local companies to broker deals with details, cost and timelines published and diacussed in town halls meetings and village discussions. Such final measures may even be voted on or dismissed.  Regardless, Africa states must begin to negotiate deals that have long term benefit with commensurate renumeration.

III.  Military Theory and Capacity Building

African states face an imperative to fortify their armed forces, military theory and proprietary defense and security aparatus. Many African states are so under resourced in military capacity, small bands of ex te rnally finances militant groups can sieze control of territory and cause  massive displacement.  Africa's internally displaced people trippled to 35 million souls to date,  France 24 reported. 

Local citizens, civil society, and institutions must demand a better presense.  African states have been left naked to envasions, resource theft, sexual violence and exploitation for decades.  Without adequate personnel and enforcement, Africa's most vulnerable pay the price. 

Military strength is not the capacity to control ones citizenry with force , but also to protect them. For many Africans, they have only seen law enforcement amd military used to control local issues or invade less fortified other African states. Rather, Africa needs real capacity to truly defend its people, property and prospects.

Instead, African states are rocked by internal violence often fomented by an external foe. The necessity for good intel, security aparatus and screening would ensure that subversives and shadow finance that make their way into the country for destabilization were blocked and early detected.  In today's world, these modalities cannot be neglected and citizens and civil society must make these top objectives for incoming leadership at all levels.

African states must also stop deluding itself about the nature and history of its relationship with former regional imperialists. Many issues of antiquity have yet to be settled or adequately redressed.  Just recently, France's former president admitted admitted to the Senegal Thiaroye Massacre, France 24 reported.  In 1944, Nearly 100 West African veterans who faught for France in World War II were cut down in cold blood for demanding payment of unpaid wages from Paris at the close of the war.  Even then, the rules based order was imposing a barbaric standard onto the Global South.

African states must forge powerful, skilled and well-armed militaries that have the caoacity to face a chaotic and violent world in flux.  It is not enough to produce precious metals and minerals for the world--Africa must now produce security and safety for itself.  Its citizens and civil society mist demand it to ensure that the disenfranchised and vulnerable are not abused or commandeered to destroy society through  externally operated militias and mercenary groups.

African states must build their own military theory and best practises. It must move forward in the arena of heavy artillery and advanced arms to prepare for rapidly advancing military capacities aroujd the world.  African states must act quickly to patch up it pregnable areas and taboo explorations of nuclear deterrence. 

IV. Financial Systems and Market Development

Finally, African states must shed its dependency on exyernal fianacial syatems and capital.  If the United states can produce currency, why cant Zimbabwe or Lesotho?  Its massibe coveted resources can force the world to trade on its terms and with its capital.

Just recently, Zimbabwe decided to make the gold-back Zig currency its primary mode of trade, AllAfrica reports. This change reflects the fact that Zimbabwe likebither African states can make changes to its own financial system.  Africa must move beyond theory to experimentation.  Its future depends on development of market and financial tools.

It has been reporter by Menafin that fintech has begyn migration to the Middle East. Hiwever, Africa must create its own home grown fintech and financial systems that support its specific kind of growth.  African states must pivot from the over utilization of externally developed and ooerated systems to reckon their finance and industry

Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft and various other technology companies have a presence un Africa.  It would not be difgicult for Africa to develoo its own systems of technology and payment.  Systems that do not rely on old order actors who often repackage the same financial deals in dufferent boxes.

France has been keen to push for development of the new West African Eco currency, principally because it would be an expansion of the CFA Franc.  Currently, the CFA franc controks about 14 African economies, whereas a general West African currency would give France greater market share and control in West Africa.  This matters as France retreats militarily, hoping to set itself as West Africa's financial center.  And whike this doesn't make sense for West Africa, it is a windfall gain for Paris which is rapidly going broke.  The infusiin and management of a larger basket ogmf national finance through the West African Eco currency would allow France to live another day and infuse the massive profits from Africa's burgeoning mining and resource industries into the dying French econony.

And this matters a great deal, as French farners demonstrate and blockade government buildings in protest of the Mercosur deal between South Ameruca and the EU.  This free trade deal would decimate local farners in an econony that is already shrinking.  France is desperately looking for alternatives and options as its budget crisis has even threatened to collapse its government, LeMonde News reports.  African states will once again be the sacrificial lamb for the saving of poorly ran Western economies like France.

African children,  young African entrepreneurs and youth will lose yet another generation to financial and industrial hemorrhage.  Slick deals behind closed doors and bank transfers to a few accounts ensure that generations of hapoy chikdren running home from school never see the light of opportunity or economic freedom.  African states owe it to their future generations to solve its financial and production shortfalls.

Without a plan of action African syates stand to lose more in thw coming years as old hegemons scrambke for survival.  They will have to foresake their region and their constituency to uphold IMF policies that ensure poverty for another 30 years.  It is not enough to want change.  African states, its populace and its civil institutions must come together to solve its most pressing issues. The time for inaction is passed.

The fact that we're taking what busineses consider "appropriate" for a WORKPLACE and applying it to any situation with humans in it is a fucking problem. Like, imagine if this standard also applied to clothing. "Yeah, you gotta wear a suit and tie at the beach, sorry." Liek?!?! "Oh, your girlbulge is NSFW." Good thing we're not at work then!!!!

New Rule: If it's SFW when a guy does it, it's SFW when a girl does it.

Guy shirtless is SFW? Girl shirtless is now SFW.

Guy with a noticeable bulge in a speedo is SFW? Girl with a noticeable bulge in a speedo is SFW. Etc, etc, etc.

I will not be taking any criticisms on this.
