Uniting The People
I wish “the West” had a powerful anti-aurhoritarian left, but currently we do not. Am I the only one left of the real left? Surely not. But things are shifting culturally, fast – the global awakening continues, and the authoritarian faux left is going to be discredited and lose its power and its popular support. When that happens, the pro-nationalist and anti-authoritarian left and right can…

I’m so tired of how social politics has gone in the past few years. Especially with how the right has taken to just straight up calling LGBT people g*******. And how people like Glenn Greenwald and Crystal Ball lend credance to them, with Glenn being basically Tucker Carlson’s butt buddy and Crystal going, “oh, all those LGBT people facing targetted harrassment are merely figments of unimportant culture war drivel.” (Heavy paraphasing but pretty much that)
Makes me wish Antifa Super Soldier wasn’t just a meme if you catch my drift.
I do catch your drift and i don't disagree
HOnestly, I think one of the biggest issues facing the left (or at least the American left) is the fact that it has been so utterlyinfested/infiltrated with a swarm of reactionaries, grifters, abusers' and conspiracy theorists in leftist clothing. As much as we (correctly) talk shit about liberals inability to recognize when fascists are in there midst, the left is actually also has a relaly bad time doing that. The fact that there is anybody who thinks Glenn Greenwald is a leftist shows that the left is not ready for real power yet

Y'know, I'm not done yet...
I'm gonna take this moment to continue talking about breadtube-adjacent youtubers who are too busy preening themselves in the mirror for the camera to ever have a moment of real self-reflection
Case in Point: Rebecca Watson, aka Skepchick
Who made this video, saying we should believe women (yes!), ESPECIALLY when there is a deliberate media spin occurring to discredit their testimonies of abuse, AFTER MAKING THIS VIDEO (this is her own website, not youtube, so there's a transcript that quite literally spells it out), and seemingly with zero cognitive dissonance: "believe women always, unless they're filthy lying jews"
Coupled with the fact that she also put out this video discussing why it's neigh impossible to fact check anything anymore (which I had called ages before she bothered to think about this topic as a video, anyway)
Just like, damn, how intellectually lazy and racist.

ive never liked powerless saiki aus because the entire conclusion of the series is him accepting his powers as being a part of him that he cant change so like.. in aus where the power remover works, half of his development is erased..
if he had been "powerless" for longer, we wouldve gotten to see him realize this himself and im genuinely sad that we didnt.. we got to see him realize that being powerless wasnt the change he wished it would be and that its something he cant change, but its literally over a two day long period and we miss out on sooo much potential development..
and then in aus where hes born powerless, people think he would have the exact personality and development that he THOUGHT he would if he got rid of/didnt have his powers, like NO ? "without powers he would be another satou-" NO he would be a shy, borderline flamboyant, weird, awkward, genius LOSER.
he would have a more normal relationship with his brother (still probably competitive but in a way more average sibling way and kusuke wouldnt have had the motivation to become so murderous) and he would probably be even more friendless but with less trauma.. he may or may not have ever befriended akechi at all, and the classroom incident wouldnt have happened.. even some of his current friends might not be around if not for coincidences due to his powers or direct involvement from his powers.. (nendo and kaido would for sure still be there though, but this only ensures the idea that he would be the biggest fcking loser ever)
he would still be saiki, but. his powers are a key part of him. he would be totally different without them, but NOT in the way he thinks he would..
#also realistically he would be just as much of a stubborn asshole tsundere without his powers cmon#like yea his anxiety might present itself more as shyness than it does in canon him#but hes still an awkward stubborn asshole tsundere like thats just who the guy is#hes extra shy and maybe extra cute without his abilities to make people not find him cute#and is also like extremely ditzy and clumsy like he is in canon but its more visible to people because he doesnt have the powers to hide it#idk the point is his little quirks he thinks he wouldnt have would still be there but he wouldnt have the same faux justifications for them#need canon saiki to see an alternate universe him where he was born powerless#and hes like 'wow im going to see my ideal average me!'#and then au him is some super quirky ditzy clumsy kid with severe anxiety and also dysphoria#and he doesnt have powers to avoid being bullied like we see him do multiple times#this guy doesnt realize he will always be a loser no matter what#he loses key parts of himself and doesnt even realize that a lot of the parts left behind are still parts of himself that he hates#i know a lot of people think he would be much less jaded powerless which i get but#a lot of aspects of his personality that have less to do with his powers are a lot of the parts that he doesnt like and gets made fun of fo#so he would probably only be slightly less jaded and his awkwardness would just weigh it out a little more#though its hard to pinpoint exactly which aspects of him are only due to his powers#a lot of them are but i personally think those specific key personality traits would remain#anyway i would love to see what his relationship with his family would be like if he was born powerless#and i want to know who his friends would be#saiki k#tdlosk#the disastrous life of saiki k.#saiki kusuo#meows post

Isopuppy Sewn Pattern Update: At long last, I've found time to get back to working on this! AKA I didn't feel like writing this weekend so LET'S GO SEWING YAY.
Current status: I have the final pattern worked out (plus or minus some seam allowance adjustments) and I've moved from junk fabric to final fabric. Hoping to get a good way into cutting/construction tomorrow. Unless I feel like writing. Who knows! Not me!

ah. has difficulty sleeping then dreams of apocalypse i guess.
#so i uh; fell asleep again;#its all right. it felt very tangible though#piktalk#it was very fictiony in places but that matters little in dreams like that.#for some reason the sky just. stopped working. or started working differently i guess.#you could see every band of every time of day all at once; leaving a sort of faux secondary horizon in the sky.#(i do not do well with seeing the blank night sky; so i did my best not to look.)#the moon was uncomfortably large and vivid; and you could see it from anywhere. you could not see the sun.#evidently; they were preparing to use a large weapon in case anything could be shot at. we were in the range; so we had to go.#it was mostly everyone in what i assume to be a college dorm scrambling to get their stuff and leave.#by the time i got everything a lot of people had already gone. but we drove off anyway.#it got dark like evening; then even darker past that. my phone lost service and all we had was blind trust in the gps.#nobody else was on the road. it was very quiet. i didnt want to ask how long we had; so it stayed quiet.#it felt important actually; that id left something important behind accidentally.#i was very sad about it; but it felt very concrete. didnt feel like playing or imagining. there was this thought of#'well we wanted a fresh start didnt we? i guess thisll be it.' which felt; feels; very important somehow.#i do think its a little funny though. said weapon from earlier was called justitia. implied to be a pale blue bird.#not really literally. it was still implied to essentially be a nuke. it just looks like a bird from far away.#so. huh. goodmorning.

#okay random story time i don't know why im narrating this or how i even stumbled upon this memory rn#but i generally do sad vents in the tags and for a change this is a funny one#so back in highschool (i say highschool but i mean junior college) i used to visit this park near my house a lot#i was an sg kid back then and the thing about parks there is that they're kinda beach-parks and they have the best cycling/running tracks#they're also really massive parks so i used to go often. sometimes bicycling. other times walking. yeah. the park was like my sanctuary#anyway. there are quite a few bike rental areas in the park and there was a cute lil shop next to this one particular rental place#and they sold like biscuits and water and icecreams and stuff and i went there a lot#and on one particular day i went there and there was this guy around my age part timing at that shop#now again this might be culture specific bc i dont see it in india but part timing in uni/pre-uni is pretty common is sg#a lot of shops and restaurants employ teenagers to twenty something ppl for part time jobs... anyway im just adding context#point is that i had walked to the park with my mum that day and she told me to go buy a couple icecreams so i went to the shop#and i saw this guy around my age and like. not to be a simp but this dude was so pretty?#like he saw someone had come to the counter so he looked up and shot a smile and i thought i got slapped by sunlight#i could spend the next several lines going on about his pretty tan skin and his glowing raven eyes but this is pathetic enough so ill stop#anyway he saw me and smiled really wide (customer service smile- i thought to myself) and i smiled back and asked for icecreams or whatever#and then this guy started getting chatty right. so he was all 'you come here (to the park) often right? ive seen you with your bike a lot'#see now. the problem with me is that i always think im bothering people. this poor dude was attempting to make conversation#and i was replying with one word answers#and i wasn't even realizing that he didnt want that. bc he kept asking more questions and i. kept. shutting them down.#then when he gave me the icecream he was all 'are you here alone? icecream alone is no fun... i could keep you company if you want..?'#which. he was being really cute about right. but because im so fucking dense i was all 'oh no i came with my mom actually'#and he went 'aw man' in this really cute but faux sad way which i didnt understand at the time and i left and then#after three full fucking days. i realized this man was tryna hit on me?#and then i went to the park like a week later and he was gone. poof. i even thought of asking the uncle in charge of that place#then i got too embarrassed and chickened out#yeah so turns out my neurodivergence neutralizes any sort of rizz that comes my way#i could've been chilling with a cute boyf rn but no😩 this is my destiny#megumi in the tags

Hello, can I have a hug Red, White and Yellow lords pretty please!
(To Green Ghost, Thank you for inspiring me. Including you're the first one I saw about Alagadda so I would like a hug from you too if it's okay.) 💚❤️🤍💛
Ah thanks 💐
And as for hugging the lords, I mean if you can catch them you can try to hug them. Can't guarantee it'll go well

So... I just finished the exams, got the important grades and what better way to get this over with than on my birthday! Normal activity should resume soon, although I'm not sure if it'll be today as I won't have time to nap and I'm going out with my father. So depending on the energy levels I have, I'll plop in here or I'll come back tomorrow to tackle down those drafts and ask thingies ♥︎
