#but they can become president

[dinosaurwithablog]

I'm a rather easy going person and I'm very accepting of things and people, but can someone, please, explain how it is possible that a man convicted of 34 felonies can run for president, but in many states, convicted felons lose their right to vote, sometimes permanently. WTF? I can't believe that I even have to consider this question. WTF?

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

Genuinely I think you guys should look into Solarpunk. Like, it’s a dark day in America, and everyone is feeling hopeless. And unfortunately America is a country that literally doesn’t mind its own business and has to be involved with the rest of the world. Mostly in a bad way. But.

I think you need to check out Solarpunk. Yes it’s literary as it’s speculative fiction. Yes it’s an aesthetic. But it’s also a real life movement. It’s activism against the climate crisis. To reverse the effects of our planet. It’s activism for human rights. The right to housing, the right to food, the right to water. Activism for education, health care, child care. To have the choice to have an abortion. It is about banding together with your community, with your fellow humans.

Solarpunk is about feeling rage about everything that is wrong with the world and using it to help fix it. It is about feeling hope that the actions you do will change things for the better, no matter how slow. Organization. Protests. Even something like calling, emailing, writing a letter to the people in your government. Your mayor, your county representative, your state representative and so on. It is about choosing kindness to help people in need. To help people who were once in cults and are taught to be afraid of “outsiders.” To help people when they realize that they were wrong and help them be able to grow. To share food with others, offer a friend a place to stay, join community events.

It is okay to rage. To cry. To scream and feel like the world is burning to the ground. Let yourself feel those emotions. And look at Solarpunk. Use your emotions as fuel to make things better. For yourself and others. To make things a bit kinder. For yourself and others.

We interrupt our usual broadcast to ask the USAmericans out there, please make plans to go vote for Harris.

What ever you think of Kamala Harris, remember the other guy is basically a fascist.

One of the two will take office after the election - there is no other possibility.

Please do your part in keeping Trump out of power. Go vote for Harris.

Evil Morty and Ricks hypotheticals series

2/5

Rookie Cop Rick

so C-137 is the Rickest Rick and Morty Prime is the Mortyest Morty. Evil Morty is the Rickest Morty, or so the fandom consensus goes. But who is the Mortyest Rick?

i could see several possible answers to that, facetious or sincere, but here's my pitch: It's Rookie Cop Rick. He's the ideallistic, naive companion to a jaded, more experienced counterpart. He trusts readily and gets figuratively and literally backstabbed for it. He's got compassion, and morals, which get tested at every turn. And is that not the true essense of being a Morty?

i would hate to see a proper confrontation between the two 'cause it could only end one way - with Rookie Cop Rick dead. A conversation though…

Rookie Cop Rick seems like a character abandoned in the middle of an arc. In his last moments on screen he looks lost. Like putting the badge back on feels wrong to him. He's been denied redemption for his actions, and he hasn't found "the right Morty he can trust". Evil Morty would provide neither. But perhaps he could provide some answers.

Was Rookie Cop Rick's release just an unintended consequence of the change in departmental codes? Or did Evil Morty review his case personally and see the reasoning behind his actions and put his silent stamp of approval on them? i would love to know. i bet Rookie Cop Rick would as well. So maybe he would ask for an audience with the new president. Or maybe Evil Morty would call for the guy himself. Puppeteering and ruling through fear are great and all, but having someone loyal on your side is much more convenient. And law enforcement is the perfect place for that loyalty to be put to work.

Would Evil Morty be diplomatic and say whatever the right thing it is for a president to say to a subject? Would he appreciate the guilt Rookie Cop Rick is carrying or would it chafe against his world view? Would he try to assuage it? Capitalize on it? Both?

And how would Rookie Cop Rick feel about having a Morty as a president and all the changes he is bringing to the Citadel? Would he remain disillusioned or regain some hope for the future of their society? Who knows, perhaps he would even make peace with his place in it. For the short short time he had left.

I've been thinking about why q!philza seems to be able to understand and read q!forever and the situations about him for a while now, and now I'm finally able to type out this full ramble so bear with me.

First I wanna say this post is in no way saying that Philza is the only person that understands and knows Forever, there are multiple characters that understand and know him, but I wanna focus specifically on Philza because he might as well be the most curious one to analyze: Other characters that understand Forever are generally his close friends, whom he spends a lot of time with. Meanwhile, Philza and Forever, thanks to the ccs timezones, don't get to hang out quite as much. They are friends, yes, but we don't often see them interacting like philza and the morning crew do, or forever with Cellbit, bbh and baghera, you know? Like, in character, most characters probably don't even understand how their bond actually plays off and how much they trust each other, etc etc.

So, why is it that Philza can understand Forever and the situations around Forever very well? He doesn't always gets it perfectly, obviously, but he always gets at least some parts right. What is it that makes Philza comprehend him?

And the more I think about it, the more I realize that this might be because Philza, out of all the characters, might be the character who has one of the closest audience perspective on Forever.

Now I know that sounds insane but PLEASE, hear me out. Of course, he doesn't have as much knowledge of Forever as the audience, especially cause he doesn't stream everyday and timezones and stuff so he does misses on a lot, but the thing is that Philza was the only character who was there for every single thing that is crucial to understand Forever.

How many people in character knows how much of an impact Tallulah's death left on Forever? I genuinely think Philza is the only one- they thought together that day and he was there to see how down Forever got after she died. On the same day, he also saw the sparks of what would become the ninho project later- him, Forever and Chayanne talked about egg protection rules, such as the safe room, and thought about ways they could use those rules to the maximum. Then there was Bobby's death, which lead Forever to pick up what he talked about the day of Tallulah's death and dedicate himself to this big project to protect all the eggs. He saw Forever's dedication to this project, dropping everything he was doing just to grantee the eggs safety. He sees how much Tallulah's and Bobby's death impacted Forever. He was also there when the whole Quackity taking Richas away and Cellbit traitor thing happened and he was there to cheer Forever up. These three things are *crucial* to understand Forever's character. And Philza night as well be the only one who was there to witness how all these situations actually impacted Forever- again, this isn't to say other characters don't know, understand or comprehend Forever, because other characters do, but Philza specifically stands out to me because he really was there for the initial things that ended up guiding Forever as a character.

As much as I love Dorian (and I love him A LOT) the fact that I can make him an Archon and the fact that he somehow seems more sensible of the two options in game is hysterical to me.

The man avoided the politics for better part of his life in order to spite his family and he admitably god VERY good at being as politically abhorent and unacceptable as it is possible. He will sometimes say the wildest, most out of pocket shit that comes to his mind. If there is a thing to say that will offend the largest amount of people in a room any given time, he will not only say it but make it ten times worst. And part of it is an act sure, but something about the way Emmrich talks about young Dorian makes me think he has put on this act for so long it's basically nature to him at this point. Like during half of convos he has with Solas- I am sure he doesn't mean to offend him... he is just so used to saying first thing that comes to his mind he does and he ends up saying some wild things. And the codexes we get that mention what Dorian has been up to in the Magestirium for this past years does tell me he still absolutely does this although he has gotten better at who he directs it at. But he still can't help himself, pretty much ever, to not cause some good old outrage.

All that to say- although Dorian is great at being a pariah and amazing at annoying the living hell out of uppity politicians... it does feel like he is not particularly careful about doing it or how it affects his standing. It may win him some support from the common folks, sure, but Tevinter isn't a democracy. What I am trying to get at is that to get good at politics Dorian would need to be a little bit more... well, a little bit more like Vivienne. And I am willing to belive he could do this in 10 year time skip but nothing in Veilguard leads me to belive he did. Which makes it hilarious he can become a political leader of this nation because I can just imagine what kind of things he will end up saying there.

god not me getting posts on my dash from people i FOLLOW on how trump being president won’t be that bad. the post was along the lines of “you won’t be sent to concentration camps calm down.” it’s so clear these people don’t care about what happens to minorities. i saw in the notes ppl going “white ppl wanna play victim so bad” like what the fuck, the only ppl that wasn’t affected by trump those 4 years was rich white ppl. you can’t boil down ppl complaining about the harm he caused to “white people want to play the victim.” like obviously personally for me harris isn’t the best choice ever i have my own issues but she’s a whole lot better than trump omg. i’m just tired of my friends and family being affected so badly by this shit and these ppl have the audacity to come online and go “well I wasn’t affected by it personally so no one else was.” it’s disgusting and i really can’t believe i followed someone who would put that shit on my dash

Btw this is the second highest voter turn out in the history of this country at around 65%. 2020 was the highest at around 67%. So let's stop echoing "15 million less Americans voted" because it's completely false.

This country is more politically engaged than it's ever been and there are a lot of you out there that need to understand what that means.
