"If enough of us vote third party for president, we could actually GET somewhere with our policy goals!"
Baby girl you can't even get a majority of third party/independents in a single state legislature. In the past 30 years there have been seven independent/third party state governors, and of those, only three were genuinely independent. The rest either got elected as a R/D and switched mid-term when they alienated themselves from their state party, got elected as I and then switched to R/D during their terms (with some of them having served the R/D parties before), or served as proxy candidates with heavy backing and support from one of the major two parties. Even VERMONT, a relative stronghold for independent/third party candidates -- the place that brought you Bernie Sanders -- doesn't have a majority of third party candidates. And when I call them a stronghold, I mean they are the only state (I know of) that consistently elects (less than a handful of) Independent candidates to the state legislature; the place is still dominated by Ds and Rs.
"The highest power in the land can't actually be voted on so there's no reason to vote for the democrats"
Hey princess here are some high school civics question for you: How are Supreme Court judges nominated? :) By what process are they appointed? Who starts that process? :) Why is the Supreme Court considered reflective of who has won the presidency? :)
#the reason you 'cant get anywhere' with your policies is bc youre not the political strategists you think you are#some of you barely know how your own government functions and it fucking shows#and it would be one thing if i looked in ur bios and u were like. 15 or smthg.#but 30?!?!?! you're 30 yrs old and you dont understand that the rsn rvw was overturned under biden is bc trump got his foot in the door???#youre 30 and youll rant abt the long lasting effects of reagan's presidential policies but you cant fathom trump might have left#a similarly long-lasting legacy??#youre 30 and you think the echo chamber you put yourself in on the internet is proof that clrly a vast majority of ppl agree w u#and theres no need to play politics when the democrats couls just wave their wands and fix everything if they werent so evil#despite the fact that both of the ladt two elections about half the population was voting for trump???#the tight margins btwn repub and democrat in congress shld tell you that#you are 30 and dont understand what strategic voting is?#youre 30 and you dont understand the difference between state laws and federal laws#youre 30 and youre upset that joe biden is a 'fascist dictator' but not in the way that gives you everything you want?#youre 30 and youre acting like biden and the dems operate in a vacuum without interference feom political enemies and#moneyed interests that have thrown up lawsuits and obstructionist tactics and misinformation#everytime the try to do something good?#youre 30 and you think palestine will be saved if joe's not in office when the only other viable candidate in the running#was cozy with netanyahu and advocated 'finishing the job' re:palestine and moved the embassy to jerusalem#in a clr fuck you to any palestinian feelings?#youre 30??? youre 30 and you never outgrew the 'mommy and daddy made me mad so I'm gonna smoke to get back at them' mentality???

induced to me by my contemporary art exam AND a rewatch of rebels after years that. got me into sabezra unexpectedly AND i updated krita and there were many new brushes i wanted to try
refs (IF U CAN PLS HELP ME FIND THE ORIGINAL COSPLAYERS i can't find anything EDIT: found them!! they're starwars_irl on insta and @rebelartistwren / lionesscosplay on insta. thank you guys <3) and ✨colored version✨ under the cut
i can't find themmmmm I've been looking for 2 days but all i found were uncredited reposts

anyway they look amazing
i really wanted to try greyscaling but I'm not sure it looks good. idk. + while i was making it i was listening to i love you by fontaines d.c. (GREAT SONG FROM A GREAT UNDERRATED BAND) and. the grey fit into that mood much better
also two versions without the sketch lines. where ezra looks happier even if they're uglier
#i didn't expect to like them as a ship ngl. but there are some moments that recall kanera (AND I LOVE THEM) especially if you've read#a new dawn. and IDK COOL!! probably i didn't ship them from the start because. in s1-s2 they're just kids and everytime i reach s3 i keep#brainrotting on thrawn <3 and kallus <3 and zeb <3 idk i kinda forgot about them and all the scenes they were in LMAO#ALSO. i love you is truly a wonderful song wtf?? it's not something I'd associate to sabezra BUT probably after having listened to it for a#month. and having drawn this in the meantime. i found some connections. the fact that the songs alternated between that melodic part#that talks about love to the other verses about (very generally) society. just felt like how their relationship would go. rapidly switching#between the fast paced fights for the rebellion to the calm of the preparation they require that can allow them for some tenderness. ALSO#ezra is so much “if there was sunshine it was never on me / so close the rain; so pronounced is the pain”#and sabine is pretty much “you only open the window; never open up the door” sometimes. especially before her darksaber arc#btw i know this song is about ireland and their relationship with theid country BUT it just prompted me to their grey figures#and colorful background. also. there's something about klimt making some of the most tender representations of love ever imo BUT keep#choosing to represent rather dark iconographies whenever he's asked to do something (I'm thinking about the medicine panels for the uni)#like. there is a similar contrast in there as well. also i like that. ursa had a portrait of herself in her home that referenced klimt#like. it's ursa in her prime; in a literal golden age. i can imagine sabine associating a good moment - one of her bests - to such an#expressive decoration. and maybe stripping colors away when that moment is gone and all that remains is the memory and feeling#OKAY WHY DID I TALK SO MUCH i must've put more thought on this that i previously thought. crazy#it started as a fun experiment to try krita's oil brushes. *in david byrne's voice* how did i get here?#star wars#sw#star wars rebels#star wars fanart#star wars rebels fanart#ezra bridger#sabine wren#ezrabine#sabezra#sabine wren fanart#ezra bridger fanart#sw fanart#g posting

I think everyone but Jimmy would believe in Aliens to an extent and have a weird story about something that happened while in space that they link back or like a UFO or alien.
Curly talks about blips on the radar that move to fast or irrationally to be regular space debris. Too uniform or too fluidly, they disappear too fast too. Anya talks about weird flickering and medbay or like odd flashes on the day screen that are too direct and specific to be simple glitches. Swansea talks about random mechanics on the ship giving out in odd ways, he’s been working for years and things don’t work like that, maybe even a gear or sprocket found after landing he swears is to foreign to be manmade but P.E always confiscates it. Daisuke always wanted to believe and takes the experiences of his very serious superiors, especially Swansea, as proof and wonders if the Tulpar is like a magnet for extraterrestrial happenings.
Jimmy thinks it’s stupid because why would aliens waste time doing all those little things and not just like abduct them? His ass obviously sees one and no one believes him cause they think they just being a jerk and messing with them, even Curly.
#Don’t know if this is just thoughts or something would come of this but uhhh#world where Aliens board the Tulpar because the mouthwash is like idk good fuel and they try to kill the crew to cover it up cause#even pe can like blame them and have to look to the stars if the shipment vanishes like mid haul out of no where#and I guess it is just like aliens au but the aliens love fucking listerine cool mint#they want to do a little probing to but they are mostly there for fresh breath and murder#they could just destroy the ship but where the fun maybe they aren’t that advanced or it’s not that groups job#curly is convinced everytime he has a crazy insomnia dream it was a sign of abduction and everyone has to tell him it’s not#but then Swansea says something’s def in the vents and he’s just there like see my sleeping habits are fine it’s the fucking xenomorphs#doing it to me and like even if that’s also true he needs like melantonin#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#jimmy mouthwashing#anya mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#daisuke mouthwashing#swansea mouthwashing

zonked out on the dog bed snoring up a storm. you come over and rub the soft spot on the top of my nose. i let out the most contented sigh
#blllllaggggh busiest doggy everyday of my life and i am exhausted#ye beware of sadposting ahead. more like just need to get thoughts out of my headposting yk. im ok just tired#friend said to me today 'youre always doing something these days jasper when do you rest?'#and i was like huh good question! i dont hahaha. damn#which is not a bad thing always. but my plate is incredibly full and i have no one to help me#im in a really good place. things are happening that ive wanted to happen for years. but i have no time to take care of me#and the ppl who are supposed to take care of me dont. and they let me down everytime i try to ask for it. which im used to#but it doesnt make it any easier. theres just not enough hours in the day and not enough energy in my little doggy body#i used to be able to push myself past the wall of exhaustion. but after my therapy program ik i just can not do that anymore#im really proud of myself. being an adult is hard. im doing everything right. but i just wish i had someone by my side to help me#anyways.#i am a very good boy#yapping#if youre reading this hi im just venting im fine. its just been a long day and i want someone to give me a head massage#jasperbarks

I was very nostalgic over the HTTYD book, but unfortunally the collection I read as a child belongs to my brother and is with him back home. Except this week I discovered the David Tenants audibook and that someone slime tutorial-ed them.
So now I'm listening to "How To Be A Pirate" and as someone who read the books soon after the first movie (and loved the books so much) I always knew Toothless is a very diferent characther (and look movie Toothless is lovely and very sweet but book Toothless is my child, my lil chaos greemlim) but only know I actually got the difference:
Movie Toothless is a very smart pet while book Toothless is a very energetic human toodler in dragon's form. Fifteen years old Hiccup got into the florest and found a very well-behaved and smart if dangerous pet, lifetime companion and best friend. Ten and half years old Hiccup was throwned into a dragon's nest and now he is responsable for a feral two to five years old who can fly, eats A LOT and breaths a tiny bit of fire. He got the job of a pareting older brother and everyone else acts as if he either got a pet or a servant while he is trying to convince his toddler-dragon that showering is important.
#now it's not a one to one#book toothless sometimes acts like a pet and movie toothless sometimes acts like someone Hiccups age but as a dragon#but mostly apecially on the first book/movie this is it#httyd#httyd books#how to be a pirate#also i still think a cartoon (instead of an animated movie) faithfully adapting the books would be AMAZING#and since httyd is taken (and the movies are good)#i sugest calling it How To Became a Hero (the hard way)#movie hiccup training toothless does seem always either as training a pet or genuinally just two pals bonding#everytime book hiccup tries to convince toothless to do something it feels way more like he is trying to ressonate with his baby brother

anyone else completely disillusioned with buying new clothes
#julia.txt#like i DO need new clothes. 85% of what i own is like. clothes i would wear when i was 15#like i dont really have anything that i Want to wear. im cycling between the same 3 outfits#but everytime i try and go see if i can buy anything i cant justify it!#because i will be like oh this is cute and then i will be like. this is going to fall apart if i wash it two times#and by next year i wont be able to wear it anymore#and then if i DO find something thatll last its either a) wayyyy too expensive for me b) just straight up not something i would wear#i find that the 'good quality' (expensive) brands are all like. clothes my mom would wear#or like clothes specifically for special occasions#LIKE NO I JUST WANT A GRAPHIC TEE THAT DOESNT BECOME A RAG AFTER 3 WASHES#i KNOW about thrifting but all the thrifts are DOWNTOWN and i HATE downtown#EVEN JEANS. like jeans are supposed to be long lasting#i bought this pair 2 years ago. and theyre ALREADY done for#CMON#aoaugh. auaagagagh. the horrors#the material is bad quality. the fit is bad. the sewing is bad. i cant take it anymore#also my favourite graphic tee is slowly but surely dying and im sad about it :(

I think the most tragic thing about snack "zachary zack boy bradley" braffs early passing is he had so much light in his eyes.... he was so, so excited to wrestle. his life was snuffed out too soon ...
#watching monster factory trying to remember how to draw (doing well but im making myself do something good and productive as a discipline-#so that naturally makes my obstinate brain resist and want to watch old tiktok likes.)#i only use tiktok for my likes and the things my huzband sends me. not trying to nervously excuse my tokkage or anything but i donno tiktok#has gotten uninteresting in the last year everytime im there the website robots think im a 30 yearold british mom or an actual child.#anyways.#monster factory#goober.txt

First Kanaphan Puitrakul the actor that you are.
#sorry i saw gifs of the sand/ray music room fight and he's so fucking good here!!!#his face as he pushes ray like he can't even watch himself do it#the dull-eyed sadness giving way to 'are you for fucking real rn?' when ray pushes back#and then the split-second fury that is immediately *obliterated* into something entirely vulnerable#when ray gets in his face instead of cowering?#and how you can see he's trying to hold on to anger at ray's posessive schtick but it's what he wants to hear and think he can't have#and he's about to cry! and he looks at ray lips! and then they kiss i guess who cares#jk i care.#anyway the scene itself is pretty cliché but the performance really makes you go 'oh buddy yeah i've been there'#(also everytime a director tells this guy 'no don't cry keep the emotions boiling inside' an angel gets their wings)#only friends the series#i guess#ok high time for bed i think

Depression is all fun and games until your skipping school even though you’re weeks behind because you quite literally can’t get out of bed
#god I hate it here#not to mention you mother and father#SEEING this#simply decides to ignore you like your Alr dead#like damn okay 💀💀 fuck you too ig 💀💀#I don’t know how to fix this#I’m literally gonna be held back or taken to court bc I’ve missed so many days#but oh well the sillies r keeping me alive#Also I told myself I wouldn’t vent online anymore but I honestly don’t care anymore 😭#it’s so bad though#I tried to do some of my homework last night and ended up throwing up from the stress#and it’s not like my friends just forgot about me they are GOOD friends I’ve just been pushing them away; telling them I’m just sick etc.#it’s my fault so I’m not mad at them for not knowing what to do. The closest ones try to call me#sometimes I answer and we talk. sometimes I don’t and they leave me a message abt how their a good listener and they KNOW something’s wrong.#Truly I love my friends but at this point I just need to be medicated or in a mental institution ong#but again; it’s not like my parents actually care. they canceled my therapy that was court appointed to me#My support system otherwise is gone; my older siblings have moved out and I’m supposed to protect my younger ones from my parents#but deadass my entire family is well aware that I’m useless in that department#I shake scream and sob everytime my parents yell at us so I’m no help; really#I mean recently I’ve been able to keep my emotions under control but the only reason why is because I’m dead inside 💪#As I’m typing this out I’m realizing that I should be telling the world this especially not in my mental state but like. I dunno 🤷♂️#I know most of you don’t care or if you do your just concerned or feel bad bc you know what it’s like and I thank you.#seriously; I thank you for being human and reminding me the world can be kind#if anything im just distracting myself from whatever this is. whether it be playing a silly game or drawing about said silly game it helps#but it also makes me feel guilty bc I RLLY should be focused on trying to pass this year. but I’m pretty sure it’s too late now.#anyways; that’s why I’ve been inactive lately so I apologize#it’s funny bc I’m typing this out but I rlly don’t feel anything while explaining this to you guys#I’ll tag this properly; I don’t know why I’m posting this and I might delete it later I dunno#tw vent#tw mention of abuse

Whelp, I am officially overworked since last week. Had a breakdown, couldn’t think, felt empty as hell. But, here I am getting there.
#mistress blabbling#a lot of shit happend but i am doing everything that i can#on doctors orders i have to stay home and not work at all#which is something i am still trying to come to terms with#and my boss is a sweetheart though but it’s not just from this job#i had so many jobs in a short time and everytime i had to proof my ass again and again#new people#and i am just completely drained#i just hated it so much having to leave a job because they get rid of you when they have a year that’s not going well for them#i haven’t slept so good in a long time#i just want a stable life is that too much to ask?#i’ll see what the future brings#one step and then another#so i am just gonna chill and i’ll see what 2024 is gonna bring me
