you can see that the script originally had ford building an anti-gravity machine for the science fair (which i guess acts as foreshadowing to the portal?), but the sun lightbulb feels like it would've connected to the opening of stanchurian candidate....

Deny. Defend. Depose.

It is clear to those of us that live in America, the only people we truly have on our side are ourselves. The ruling class has made it clear we don't matter to them.

Luigi Mangione was arrested and happened to have every single piece of evidence on him that law enforcement was looking for, including the parts for the ghost gun, inside his backpack (that he also got rid of in Central Park containing the Monopoly money???). Either he was trying to get caught or that evidence was planted. And when he was being forcefully pushed into the jail, he hollered back to the press about "injustice" and "being an insult to the intelligence of American citizens and our lived experiences."

The people have now turned against corporate America and the CEOs and billionaires are fucking terrified. Nothing the news stations are saying to us are changing our minds. The American people have finally united over this issue and there is no going back for us. Whoever did kill Brian Thompson (and theories abound on the game The Adjuster is playing because no one plays Monopoly alone) exposed the very real divide that exists between every day citizens and the extremely wealthy. Things were easier for them to control when they were able to divide us, but now that we are aware of how uncertain our future is in America and seeing just how little we matter to the people who take our money, we have realized that we have more in common with each other than the people who control every aspect of our lives. We are waking up.

There isn't one person in this country who hasn't been a victim to the predatory scam that is private health insurance. Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in America, and many of us are one ambulance ride or hospital stay away from homelessness. We all know people who have died because the insurance company denied them the treatment they needed or waited until it was too late for an approval of a medical claim to matter anymore.

Recently, I decided to be tested for autism and ADHD. Not life-threatening or anything, but my life is still in shambles and I want to know if I'm going untreated for something else. Before being tested though, I was informed that the insurance company (Aetna) has said that they were going to cover the full cost of the testing I was having (which was six hours of testing by the way). She even made sure several times that they were, in fact, going to cover it in full and they said yes.

The same day that Brian Thompson, CEO of another horrible healthcare company, was murdered in broad daylight, I received a call from that doctor's office with the woman telling me that Aetna was now telling her they never agreed to cover my testing and that they are going to bill me for $1600 (where the hell am I supposed to get that?) and she is fighting them, but considering our lives don't matter to the people who tell us what healthcare we are and are not allowed to receive, I don't think they will feel compelled to change their minds because they are bloodsucking parasites who only care about lining their pockets while I don't even have $6 lying around, let alone $1600!!

Corporate America leeches off our taxes. They take and take and take and we see nothing in return. They raise prices on insurance coverage and then deny us the very coverage that we pay for. They poison our food, price gouge our poisoned food, and then force us to pay for the treatment we get when the food makes us sick. Corporate America profits off of our hard work, our taxes, our health, our lives, our deaths.

I don't know if this will reach a larger audience or not, but I wanted to talk about it on Tumblr because this platform seems to be a crossroads for every type of creative soul. I initially brought up this idea on TikTok earlier, but I want to see if it can get traction in other places as well since I have fewer than 3,000 followers on TikTok (and I have seen a small few express interest in my idea in the hours since I posted the video.)

We're busy being lectured by politicians and the news media because while they are clutching their pearls at what happened to Brian Thompson, the rest of us do not give one single flying fuck about what happened to him. As CEO of a for-profit health insurance company, he signed off on denied claims and death for those of us who struggle to make it from one day to the next. The sicker you are, the poorer you are, the more they force you to struggle and pay. The love to deny coverage because regardless of whether we live or die, they already have the money we are forced to pay them.

I don't condone murder at all, but I also don't care that he was murdered because he was guilty of murdering so many more people in this country through legal means because it's profitable. The CEOs are scared and there are wanted posters with their names and faces popping up in places. Every CEO of every healthcare company is guilty of murdering Americans and they continue to go unpunished for it because "it's just business".

So (if you've read this far) all of this previous rambling is to say that I keep thinking about how I want to make an impression. I want to continue upsetting the billionaires and the CEOs because corporate America is full of murderers who are legally allowed to decide whether we live or die based on which outcome will give them more money.

I have thought about the idea of creating a wall/constructing a wall somewhere as an art piece or something (making a statement) that will somehow honor the memory of people who died because insurance denied them care.

I know I definitely want it to say something along the lines of "In memory of those murdered by for-profit healthcare systems in corporate America". Something blatant. Loud. Something they are forced to look at every single day. Somehow. The wall could have images of those who are gone, or names of the person who died with the name of the insurance company responsible for their death underneath. Just something to make it clear that we see them for what they are. Something to avenge those who were sacrificed so billionaires and CEOS and shareholders could brag about record profits. Something that shows the whole world that American citizens are waking up to who the real monsters are.

The Adjuster (whoever he is or is not) has fanned the flames of revolution in America. He managed to unite us in a way I can't even recall before. It's not over. We know what happened to Brian Thompson was just the beginning, and corporate America only just now realized how much we actually hate them. A single shooter has sparked an awakening in America that is starting to snowball into something much bigger.

So if there is anyone out there who might be interested in collaborating on something like this, please let me know. I know we are all tired and demoralized and we have no money. I want to make a statement though, and I love doing that through art or writing. Collaborating with other people who have been through this same shit will also probably help us unite even more.

This is a watershed moment in American history.

In the words of Kanan Jarrus, Jedi Knight,

"There is a future for us. One where we're all free. But it's up to us to make it happen."

Suho and Sieun tell Suho’s grandma that they dating pretty quickly and she’s surprised but supportive (she saw some American series about it and liked it a lot, also Sieun is such a nice boy who visited her Suho in hospital so often and her Suho is so happy when the other boy is around. How could she be mad about it?).

However Sieun kind of never mentions that he has a boyfriend to his parents. They know that he rents an apartment with some friend from high school but that’s it. So when years later, during some dinner that both of his parents (surprisingly) invite him to, conversation goes into topic of relationship and that Sieun should find himself someone because he’s 28 and it’s time to date just a little bit. And that maybe, just maybe his mom’s friend has a daughter that is very smart and pretty.

Sieun just straight up tells them he already has a boyfriend. And continues eating, unbothered with his parents shock.

After a very, very long pause his dad dares to asks in a very weak voice,

“Boyfriend?”

And Sieun who stopped caring a long time ago just stares at them.

“Suho.”

It takes another long moment before his mom yells,

“THE COMA BOY?!”

Had a WHC2 rewatch, this time with my parents. My mum absolutely adored Sieun. Was incredibly upset with his mum the whole time. No doubt she would have liked to adopt him if he were real. Dad was impressed by almost everything, but most especially the choreography for the fights. His only slightly negative comment was: “oh this is ridiculous. Why would Sieun need to join Suho in a coma?” No worries, I set him right when I told him: “Dad, they’re in love.” And from then on, he only had praises.

YUKI ISHIKAWA scored 32 points for Japan in the game against Italy, becoming the first male player to score over 30 points in a single game at the 2024 Olympics.

sometimes I think about how if Touya had gotten the love and help he needed, that Shoto, his friends, and even the entirety of Class 1-A might have looked up to him, some even done work studies under him when he became a hero, and saw him as a role model, and he’d have taken it all in stride because he was grateful that he’d made it so far, and now had an actual, genuine family around him, and then I cry

The prototypes to my Geology Monsters series were these two funky guys from March 2023.

I made the sketch for the marten in the plane from Naples to home, after we'd done a full circle around Mt. Vesuvius and you could really peer into its crater and see how close it is to the metropolis. I had also visited it during my stay there (but it was cloudy all week so unfortunately the view at the summit wasn't good), as well as the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. That really sparked something in me. These two volcanic beasts were painted the same week after I got home.

Later I picked up the concept again and the monsters became more, well, monstrous. I still like these though! Both are small paintings done with ecoline inks.

So I was checking out the 2020s list of LGBTQ+ video game characters on wikipedia to see if there were any other canon queer characters in KCD2 besides the obvious/well-known ones. I was slightly amused by the questionable word choice and grammar but I understand that wikipedia pages, especially smaller ones, rely on essentially random people submitting info. Whatever.

But. For some reason, I decided to take a peek at the citations provided and promptly lost my mind.

Now I know exactly what this is referring to, a response one of the devs made on a forum (Steam?). Idk how true or genuine the statement itself is, I've just already seen it circulating around. This weird right-wing site using archaic terminology like we're still in the actual medieval ages is unfortunately the first one that pops up if you try to look up the interaction. So I can see the series of events that took place.

The thing is, the phrase "Henry was not a sodomite due to budget constraints" is just already so fucking unhinged and funny that seeing it as an official-ass looking citation in a real wikipedia page killed me. Someone insane unironically wrote that article and posted it online just for a second real individual (with potentially completely opposing views) to see it and go "finally, something to corroborate my wikipedia entry." And now those words are gonna be rattling around my brain forEVER.
