In the heart of California, where dreams are often synonymous with palm-lined streets and golden sunsets, there exists a shadowed reality that has long eluded the postcard image – the homelessness crisis. The scale of this epidemic is staggering, with thousands of vulnerable individuals left to weather the harshness of the streets each night.

not enough people are talking about how Gus searched the entire basement and found the Cosmic Frontier books behind that mysterious padlocked door. not enough people are talking about what those books meant to Gus. he said it himself: the story is about people like them, lost and trying to return home. and he also let on that he’s not as happy as his demeanour might let on. i wonder how these books must have helped him cope with his situation, with his homesickness. i wonder if there’s anything in the book series that helped him process what it is he saw in Belos’ mind. if he was able to better understand Hunter by putting himself in Chief Engineer O’Bailey’s shoes, a man secretly a clone from the enemy’s faction. how long did Gus want to share the series with Hunter? did he decide he’d read in far enough to make sure O’Bailey wouldn’t turn out to be a secret villain, so that he’d be certain he would be giving his friend a series he would find catharsis and positive representation in?

pretended I was empath so I would get “INFJ” instead of “INTJ,” because the prior is the rarest mbti and I wanted to be quirky and different

This headline is misleading. The article acknowledges the need for affordable housing and assistance for people experiencing mental illness.
Democrats favor funding for community-based care which is voluntary, and which meets people where they are. Republicans are for a return to the old, draconian approach to mental illness - locking people up and throwing away the key.
Compasionate treatment costs less and is more effective.

you guys know how that scene in succession 2x09 “DC” where Shiv intimidates and manipulates the sexual assault victim until she backs out of testifying about her experience is the same as that scene in hotd 1x08 “The Lord of the Tides” where Alicent intimidates and shames the sexual assault victim out of speaking up about her experience?
the biggest difference between these two scenes is actually the self-awareness of the narratives themselves. succession knows what it’s doing with this scene. hotd comes across confused and tone deaf because it’s bending over backwards trying to maintain an image of Alicent as a faultless victim, unlike succession which allows Shiv some moral flexibility, which ironically makes her more sympathetic than Alicent imo, because it manages to avoid that extra level of hypocrisy that the hotd scene piles onto Alicent and the narrative as a whole.

also as a society plagued by wealth inequality and rising cost of living we really need to address how we show love through money. like I offered to come over to help them decorate their new house so many times and they kept refusing me 😞 I wanted to help them paint! but noooooooo

for the ship ask: lotta/shauna? also, love your breakdowns of all these relationship dynamics!!
Anon, I will tell you a secret: Lottie and Shauna are my second favorite ship in the entire show. I love the LottieShauna dynamic down to my bones. It's so antagonistic, but only from Shauna's perspective; Lottie has, like, no idea about this, she's just out here trying to hand Shauna knives and throw her baby showers. When I think about how Shauna views Lottie, this figure through which she's channeling so much of her anxiety about the pregnancy--and then, after, her grief about losing the baby--vs how Lottie is just genuinely trying so hard to help, it cuts open something in me. The scene where Lottie presents herself as a physical target for Shauna to let out all her feelings on, come what may? The martyrdom of it all? WHEW. Unparalleled.
And then to look at them as adults, where Shauna is still not trusting Lottie to have good intentions--"you're gonna make me love this goat, and then you're gonna make me KILL this goat"--while Lottie's just like "I dunno, dude, I feel like it'd be good for you to care for something?" Except now Lottie's looking at her with the eyes of a woman who knows this person almost beat her to death with her bare hands once. Have they talked about that? Doubt it! Has she been sitting on that pain for 25 years? Almost certainly! They have this insane not-quite rivalry that I'm obsessed with. They're on the same page from the jump when Taissa's making her plan, and they're not on the same page at all, and Lottie can never replace Jackie like Shauna can never replicate what Laura Lee offered, but they're always finding themselves staring each other down anyway. It's so much.

if Hawkeye were anything like Gregory House then in Preventative Medicine, he would've forgotten about Lacey entirely and instead taken BJ's appendix out for the crime of being annoying.

I'm finally watching s2 for real. the atmosphere IS very fun and true to the book, but like...not to be a killjoy but I hate that hc let that guy gamble his daughter's life. I hate it so much and it's bullshit that the justification of 'it's mutually consensual' is the last we hear about it. that woman never agreed to this! you can't bet other people like you own them! that might be the worst thing hc ever does like genuinely I don't understand why more people don't talk about it like he's at the head of an organization that allows people to use other human beings as bartering chips...or at least lets the men use their female family members. but he's treated in the fandom (and canon) like all his behavior is justified bc he's funny and sexy and devoted like...jesus christ. I feel so wild like how have I never seen anyone talk about this

random aubrey thoughts while i'm getting my sunday hot meal
maybe the church had a free meal/food pantry program that aubrey and her parents attended regularly and that's why the church became a source of comfort for her?
and even when the regulars for sunday service are judgemental bitches towards her, prolly even questions if she's worthy of speaking to god, the pastor makes her feel safe and comforted regardless and she keeps going
i can see her taking basil to the church in a scenario where she forgives him bc she finds peace in the house of god and she maybe wants to reassure him he isnt unforgivable for his own fuck ups
