i don't like the thread of thinking around natural disasters that some people deserve more sympathy/empathy than others, or that some people deserve having to evacuate, or having their homes destroyed, more/less than others.

like, i am not saying this in a "please think of the rich people!" way. i'm not saying that everyone must distinctly express well-wishes for every category of people equally... it does feel absolutely normal and natural to me if people's care and donations and sympathy gravitate more towards groups who are hit hardest or might have the hardest time recovering or who might not have access to certain recovery resources, etc.

but when discussion goes to that place of justifying why certain groups of people do deserve sympathy... it unsettles me, and I think i've put my finger on why. let's say there's a discussion (which i've seen much of this week) that goes like this. Some people say those who lost their homes in fires in California aren't worth sympathy because they're all rich people who lost a 2nd or 3rd mansion that was built in a place that was fire prone and they probably voted for climate-damaging policies/politicians too so they deserve what they got. Then, other people push back with reminders that not everyone affected by these fires is rich, not everyone affected by these fires will recover easily, lots of working and middle class people have had their lives destroyed, many historically Black neighborhoods have been destroyed, etc etc and those people clearly deserve sympathy!

the clarification is good. it's important. 100%. but it still views these disasters through the lens that Some people DON'T deserve them, which implies that some people... Do deserve them? and again, my point here is not "we must specifically have more sympathy for rich people losing mansions". my point is that I really don't like the undercurrent of a lot of these discussions of who "doesn't deserve" this because I don't like the idea that anyone deserves it. Because if you view it that way even hypothetically, even as like "MOST people don't deserve this but Really Bad People do"... i mean, first off, who decides who does and doesn't deserve it? and second off, like, are you okay with the idea that you or your loved ones could be put in a category of People Who Deserve To Lose Their Homes in a Natural Disaster by someone else?

it feels kinda religious-based or culturally christian to me. it feels like it's still based in the idea that natural disasters are Acts of God sent to punish the people who deserve to be punished, and ohh maybe it's too bad if some good people get caught in the crossfire and we ought to help those people out with charity. i do not like that. these aren't divine punishments. I don't even accept the line of thinking "well if it happens to people who specifically have pushed forward climate change, it's just karma/punishment for that, they're experiencing the consequences of their own actions--" no. it's problems for all of us and we have to face it together instead of arguing about who deserves to suffer and who deserves to be spared. there is literally no possible timeline where we round up all the oil barons and corrupt politicians and push them to the areas most affected by the climate crisis while we protect the Innocent Good Majority of people from those effects. and thinking of it thru that lens is both a) unhelpful and b) a way of thinking that can soooo easily be warped to cheering on the pain and suffering of any groups of people you deem "bad" which can be warped over time.

Just to let everyone know cuz I forgot to include it in the ref sheets, my rewrite version of thw Z-O-M-B-I-E-S aliens can purr bcuz I think it's neat. Also I feel the need to share that I read a random article abt why and how cats purr instead of paying attention in math class for this headcannon. Because Z-O-M-B-I-E-S brainrot takes priority 😌

"Community" is basically the adult sitcom version of the Backyardigans

hii <3 solar return chart leo venus in the 11th house meaning?

Hi beauty,

you might develop a crush on a friend or vice versa. Could be a part of a love triangle. You might be interested in someone and be in a talking stage with them, hence long distance. You could also be already in a partnership and have a long-distance period in your partnership. You could feel more passive, indulgent, somewhat lazy this year, craving and seeking more free time for yourself. You would watch movies and indulge in takeout or order in food more and just spend time eating delicious foods and treating yourself. You might also crave more attention from your crush, you would like to be often complimented.

Stay golden,

@astroismypassion

So...this past weekend (Nov 9th and Nov 10th), were massive days for me. I had the very lucky and fortunate chance to meet the actor who plays my f/o on Broadway. Never in my life would I have ever thought I'd be able to meet him in person. Did it end up costing a lot of money? Sure, what doesn't nowadays? Was it completely worth it? Fuck yes. Now I have the memories forever. Even now, days later, I'm having a hard time believing it even happened. The only way I can believe it is when I look at the pictures we took together. He even had my phone and took a bunch of selfies and a video of the two of us. I wanted to cry so hard. He even held my hand....😭❤️

I don't have to bore you all with the details, if you've even made it this far. But I'm just still over-ecstatic that I got to meet and talk with him. And just so everyone understands, although I adore him a lot, I do not ship myself with him, just putting that out there. I separate character and actor. Anyway, I won't be thinking about anything else from now on and I'll never get over it 😊

Feel free to reblog to expand the data pool or just to get to know your mutuals.

Also, I am a mix of both. I have a few "default" stims I'll fall back on or do randomly that have been pretty consistent. But some of my main stims follow trends. Like my current main stim is the Harpy Hare handshake.

;-; Either way, have a nice day. And drink water.<3

Hey funfunfun fact dont misgender Andrew or Chris!!! Dont!!! If you do ur transphobic!!! I do not CARE if ones a murderer n the others a rapist. Thog do NOT CARE. Both of them use she/her pronouns. You guys are only using he/him pronouns bcus ur transphobic.

When (cis guy example) does smth bad i never see yall start using she/her instead of he/him (because hes cis). but as soon as a trans person does a crime, suddenly ppl think its ok to deadname or use the wrong pronouns??? Its not.

Chris chan started her transition like a DECADE AGO FOR FUCKS SAKE. WHEN WILL SHE BE TRANS ENOUGH FOR YOU??? Andrew literally believed she could ONLY transition after her suicide. Its like cis ppl only maybe care about us if we do no wrong

The difference between the first future design vs the most recent future design

The 1st future design:

-Zena and Thaniea used to go on adventures but after the birth of their son/only child Kalen, they retired in their 30's, living on Zena's family barn and spending most of their time there.

-Tye Loe still lived on Winxetania but lived with Crash, it's implied they started a relationship during this time, but it doesn't work out as Tye Loe is still in love with Mazen after all these years.

-Vero is a captain of a new crew while Orsk stays at their new home, it's implied they have a newborn or at least a baby on the way

-Wren is never mentioned.

VS

The most recent future design:

-Zena and Thaniea went on adventures but after their marriage, Zena became the leader for the newly reformed saints and Thaniea became the representative lady for both their galaxy and the universe. They have three children: A 21 year old daughter named Rayne and 18 year old twins named Kalen and Valena.

-Tye Loe lives with the saints, helping to train them. He refuses to become an elder saint and spends most of him time talking with Mazen's crystal spirit. He treats Zena and Thaniea's children like they are his grandchildren but prefers to spend his time meditating alone as he's in his 70's now and doesn't have time for anything anymore.

-Vero is still a captain of a new crew while Orsk mostly stays at home as he wants to relax more, however Orsk sometimes joins along when he's bored. They are both much more involved with their friends than before. There is no mention of them having any children, and they don't really want any as they see Zena and Thaniea's children as their nieces/nephew and they also see Vero's new crew as being their children as well.

-Wren is still a mechanic, however she now works on royal and senator ships, her arm was upgraded which made it easier to do her job. She's viewed as the fun single aunt by Zena and Thaniea's children and sometimes help the new pilots to understand their ships better before flying.

There's probably some stuff I'm missing but oh well! Love seeing my oc's grow up and have lives!
