I was tagged by @kmlaney and I'm ready to be in the hot seat!

1) Are you named after anyone?

Unfortunately, no. My mother picked my name out of a baby book. Just flippin through and was like, "That one!" Clearly, I didn't agree which is why I changed my name (kidding, kidding I changed my name for other reasons).

2) When was the last time you cried?

Doctor and I were having sex. I got really overwhelmed with how good it felt and how much I loved him. And then it got all mushy so we had to hold each other.

3) Do you have kids?

Nope!

4) What sports do you play/have you played?

I feel like I've played a lot between phys ed and college intramural teams. I enjoy having a good time and keeping everything very low stakes and seriousness. I'm not competitive so if others are, it's not a good time for me. Am I good? Eh. I'm good at being supportive. I would not describe myself as having exceptional physical prowess in any arena.

5) Do you use sarcasm?

Sometimes. It's typically when I and someone I'm close to are being mean to one another in a joking manner. As I've gotten older I've realized I'm not good at trying to match tone and meaning. It's way easier for me to just be straight forward. Helps the ol brain out.

6. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

I serve alcohol so I've noticed that I try to figure out someone's age first. It's something I've developed in the last few years. Then other identifying markers like glasses, tattoos, piercings, interesting noses. But typically, I find myself noticing relative age first (usually just trying to gauge whether someone is under or over 40)

7. What’s your eye colour?

like just some light color? Grayish is usually the consensus

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

False dichotomy. Doesn't consider scary movies that have happy endings.

9. Any talents?

My superpower is sleeping. I can sleep anywhere, anytime. I'm asleep as I type this.

10. Where were you born?

Louisiana, United States

11. What are your hobbies?

Reading, writing, making art, watching movies, going on walks, drinking coffee, conversing with cool people

12. Do you have any pets?

Two cats (Sally, 16, and Charlie, 10).

One bird (y'all might be familiar with Clarice, the European starling as she graces my blog quite often)

13. How tall are you?

5'8" or 5'9" I

14. Favourite subject in school?

I was a dumb smart kid who liked everything (but pe)

15. Dream job?

A job where I'm left alone, am just given tasks, I go to people when I need feedback or information, and I am just given lots of freedom with my own space.

screaming at this amazing article:

“You see a single woman of 40, who has never had children – ‘Bless, that’s a shame, isn’t it? Maybe one day you’ll meet the right guy and that’ll change.’ No, maybe she’ll meet the wrong guy and that’ll change," he said. "Maybe she’ll meet a guy who makes her less happy and healthy, and die sooner.”

SCREAMING, I TELL YOU

My #1 post of 2022

Basic political concepts Americans should grasp

You have to vote in every election. Yes, every election.  Not just the Presidential ones.  You have to vote for Governor, Senator, Congresspeople – all of your state legislatures.  You have to vote for mayor, city council, school board.  You have to do this every single time.  Republicans do this every single time.  You can too.

It takes less time to tear things down than to build things up.  This is why it’s so easy to be a Republican and accomplish Republican goals.  They are destruction artists.  It’s easy to eliminate rights, easy to eliminate social programs.  Building and codifying and establishing these things is really fucking hard, takes time and patience.  This sucks, I know.  It sucks bad.  But it’s just reality.  So when you wonder why Republicans seem to accomplish more of their goals, it’s because their goals are to burn it all down.  They’re not really goals so much as just torching shit.

Mistakes of the past will continue to haunt us and we will have to continue to fight against them.  This really sucks, especially if you weren’t old enough to vote in previous elections.  But we’re all handed what we’re handed in life, and the people who came before us who accomplished real change took what they were handed and did something with it, they didn’t just check out.  And a lot of them fought really fucking hard so all of us could do #1 – VOTE.  Do not spit on the memories of people who literally laid down their lives fighting for the right for all of us to vote by not voting or throwing your vote away.

We can learn a lot from the last generation of activists who accomplished significant change and a lot of those people are still with us, for now.  Civil Rights Leaders still exist in our society, though they’re aging out.  Take a look at what they’re saying, because you know what?  They actually accomplished real change in their lifetimes, under really difficult circumstances.  Believe it or not, there are older people you can learn from.  We ignore the lessons of history to our peril.

Do you think you have something to offer?  Run for local office.  Or get involved with someone who is running for local office.  YOU can make a difference if you get involved.  But we also have to work together.  Coalition-building has always been the key to liberal success.

re: misinformation: every single post that talks about the supreme court having "eliminated " miranda rights is driving me to madness bc THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.

the ruling is about whether you can sue a police officer under a specific federal civil statute for not reading you your miranda rights, as a 5th amendment (right against self incrimination) violation.

it's about whether you can get damages (monetary or otherwise) in a CIVIL trial, not about whether your post-arrest statements can be used against you in a CRIMINAL one.

what the court's finding says is that not having your rights read to you alone does not allow you to sue under that specific federal statute. it does NOT say that the police no longer have to inform you of your rights, or that coerced confession can be admitted as evidence during a criminal trial.

is it a good ruling? no obviously it's dumb as fuck & the legal hair splitting that took place to reach it is absurd. but it's not a case of "ooooh well what a COINCIDENCE that the USSC overturned miranda RIGHT BEFORE a bunch of people would be out protesting."

that's just. not how any of this works.

any urban fantasy rpgs with multiple races that isn't powered by the apocalypse?

The first thing I thought of (though you probably already know about it) is Shadowrun. Cyberpunk fantasy races do crimes in a dystopian future. It's been around for a while, there are plenty of editions. 

 A game I recently read through is Powerchords, which is designed to be adapted to any system (though I believe it was originally written for Deliria: Faerie Tales for a New Millennium). It's about playing members of a rock band, who may or may not be human- you could be an angel country music singer backed by the powers of both heaven and hell or a fae EDM DJ shooting off spells with each song choice. The book is super fun, too, going into detail about music genres and what makes a band work.

hey, i've gotten curious about destiny from your posts, would you mind telling me a little about it? I find asking people personally about video games is a lot better gauge to my enjoyment than trying to read a terrible article about them

hey! well I’m really terrible at these kinds of things, so bear with me. 

but basically, destiny is a mmo-lite science fantasy shooter. the game orients around shooting shit and gearing your guardian while surrounded by other people. if you’re not into shooters (this is a really fun one, though! with some space magic!) or grinding for loot, you’re probably not going to enjoy destiny or you’re going to get bored of it quick. on the mmo-lite part, you don’t ever have to deal with those other people, but end game content skews pretty heavily towards multiplayer (strikes/dungeons, raids, localised public events, and crucible/pvp). but if you are into mmos, please don’t go into destiny thinking it’ll be wow, guild wars, or even swtor, because it’s just... not. these games have a million different things to do but destiny is very much limited to shoot-n-loot.

I love the game because the shooting elements are enjoyable and i’ve been investing in the gear progression for three guardians (one of each class) which appeals to my rpg-loving demand for micromanaging (to a really limited extent, though) and incremental progression and my deep, unwavering love for The Aesthetic. it’s visually spectacular, the characters are fantastic (even if I wish bungie would do a little more with them), and, despite the fact that bungie absolutely SUCKS with how they tell it, the lore the game is built upon is actually really amazing. the main storyline still isn’t anything special tbh, but it’s better than d1′s mess at least.

but, at the same time, I feel like destiny is typically hit and miss depending on what you’re looking for at the time you get it. if you’re looking for an in-depth narrative experience, it’s probably not going to satisfy you. if you’re looking for a project, enjoy shooter game mechanics, and are willing to entirely headcanon your own character and story (which tbh I find way funner than trying to mesh my guardians entirely to the storyline), then maybe give it a try?

Are you offended by this goth representation?

absolutely not.  as a 90s goth I also do not want Steve Sanders, it is a mutual feeling

I’m like allergic to blond men and ginger men. Men should have black/brown hair hit post.  Women can have any color of hair and look lovely.

look, when you’re 157 cm and under pretty much everyone else is a tall queen

But the other actress they were referencing in the post was 6′3! So, like, one of those ladies is proper tall but the other was... not

America's Most Eligible, Home for the Holidays, and Hero

America’s Most Eligible: Who’s your favorite villain?

Grandma Josephine. Did she even really do anything wrong? Let’s discuss.

Hero: Which MC do you feel is most similar to you and why?

Veil of secrets mc. We’re both ravenclaws, have a healthy disdain for the bourgeois, more aloof and rational than a lot of the mcs, but are also willing to cut someone for our friends if we have. i almost ended up with a journalism degree.

Home for the Holidays: Is there a book you haven’t played yet? If so, why?

I think i have at least started all of the books. But I didn’t finish ride-or-die, home for the holidays, or passport to romance so there’s that.
