“The job is the unquestioned goal for all free citizens of the world – the ultimate public good. It is the clearly stated exit goal of all education and the only sanctioned reason for acquiring knowledge. But if we think about it for a moment, jobs are not what we want. We want shelter, food, strong relationships, a livable habitat, stimulating learning activity, and time to perform valued tasks in which we excel. I don’t know of many jobs that will allow access to more than two or three of those things at a time, unless you have a particularly benevolent owner or employer.

I am often told that I should be grateful for the progress that Western civilization has brought to these shores. I am not. This life of work-or-die is not an improvement on preinvasion living, which involved only a few hours of work a day for shelter and sustenance, performing tasks that people do now for leisure activities on their yearly vacations: fishing, collecting plants, hunting, camping, and so forth. The rest of the day was for fun, strengthening relationships, ritual and ceremony, cultural expression, intellectual pursuits, and the expert crafting of exceptional objects. I know this is true because I have lived like this, even in this era where the land is only a pale shadow of the abundance that once was. We have been lied to about the “harsh survival” lifestyles of the past. There was nothing harsh about it. If it was so harsh – such a brutish, menial struggle for existence – then we would not have evolved to become the delicate, intelligent creatures that we are.”

People want all the benefits of Christianity without all the repenting of sin, putting it to death and trusting in Christ part.

tonight has been such a great show of how the fans see c!Dream. the language surrounding him is dehumanizing, in the story, he is the book, he is kept in a vault, he is a monster - c!Q and c!Sam are seconds from calling him it, and the fandom reflects so many of these views. he is not a person with feelings, he is a monster, a predator stalking its prey, an obssessed beast. not human, never human with his very own motivations and goals and dreams who plans for something more. he never wans things for a reason that could not be seen as selfish desire, he is evil personified.

but the moment the language around him, by others in the story, the people who hold power over him reflect the lack of humanity that he should be granted, suddenly it is impossible to strip him of this human side. no, he cannot be in a vault, vault is for objects (like the revive book that everyone sees him as).

he is granted only as much humanity as people think he deserves to be punished further

Honestly, attachment to sex rather than gender as a social construction won't create a utopia without the subjugation of one's presentation, background, or experience from existing. Recognizing that sex and gender are both socially constructed and while they sometimes inform one another, they won't always, and that trans people absolutely can attest to this and are integral to making change for a better world are insurmountably important. If your desire for a "better world" coincidentally doesn't include us, what you desire isn't a better world where people are free - it is subjugation by a different name.

i'm pretty sure i've posted this fucked up spamton image to this blog on at least 20 separate occasions, and i don't intend to stop any time soon. that being said, i truly cannot recall where i even found it in the first place. it's kind of been haunting me. out of everything in my 6.2 gigabyte archive of assorted spamton images, this file remains the most mysterious 44 kBs in the depths of my disk drive.

of course in this case, the best thing to do is run a reverse image search of the file in question. i did, and here are the results:

nothing but my own blog. and then, the bitter end.

As someone who has been reviewing late Campaign 1 episodes, namely Elysium, The Fear of Isolation and The Endless Atheneum (but especially that first one), it's very weird to me how the cast and characters are so... idk, willing to indulge the idea the Prime Dieties are puppeteers and self-serving? And after Campaign 2, too, where the Wildmother and Stormlord were both very involved with their faithful.

I'm thinking specifically to a short conversation between Vex, Pike and Sarenrae about reverence (and accidentally almost taking souls oops):

(Also worth noting that, as Dani pointed out, this is the goddess that helped bring Laudna back. Make of that what you will.)

Might it be that a couple of years without much divine faith among the Hells + working on TLOVM, thus focus on the Raven Queen and her complicated role, changed things?

A lot to think about.

So, what's Focalors opinion on Neuvi knowing? Like, wasn’t it supposed to be a secret???? Or she saw the Hydro sovering and said; I will get him, as a little treat to myself 😊

I alluded to it a little bit in the last chapter but Neuvillette being In On It was also one of Focalors' decisions inspired by her meeting Lumine's suggestion that she needed someone to watch out for Furina while Focalors was preparing her own death.

That said, Focalors didn't plan to have Furina fall in love with Neuvillette. Falling in love with him, actually, mucks up the original plan quite a bit which means the Archon Quest has a few divergent points as well.
