😐is this

😐is this not anti intellectualism?

Like is this not bold faced anti intellectualism, that the entire comment section was whole heartedly agreeing with?

Cause, words are important

Like for example, if i analyze this post, if I read the words and consider their established definitions, I notice something kinda interesting, kinda concerning actually.

This post says historians, not law makers, not Fox News hosts, not groups of people whose short term reaction to mass deportations or ICE arrests will determine the fate of tens of thousands of people. No it says historians

Those whose get to create the picture of our present that we in the future are supposed to look towards for factual depictions.

So I, personally, am not quibbling with whether the words concentration camps accurately describes what is currently going on in the US (it is kinda interesting that it’s these words originating around Jewish history whose definitions seem to keep coming under scrutiny; genocide, concentration camp, pogrom, nazi, ghetto - almost like society is obsessed with universalizing Jewish experiences, but I digress). No, I take issue with the framing of conversations to achieve clear, specific definitions of words as bad.

Shouldn’t historians use their words carefully? Because we don’t want there to be confusion over how bad things were, and when they were so bad. What Biden did to immigrants was NOT GOOD. But what Trump is doing to immigrants is MUCH WORSE. And the words historians use should clearly show that.

On top of that, the better we tailor the words, the less easy it is for bad faith actors to weaponize them. If we call everything a concentration camp and ignore or insult anyone who disagrees with our usage, (again I’m not saying the El Salvadoran prisons or ICE detention centers are not concentration camps, I’m criticizing the sentiment, not the politics) than what should stop a RFK loving historian from calling children’s vaccine clinics concentration camps?

Same goes for a word like genocide - if we use it more to indicate a certain vibe or level of moral outrage than we do to clearly depict what is occurring, than Tuck Carlson gets to say white genocide is happening and we can’t stop him. Because, this completely fictitious crisis he believes we’re going through, fits his definition of genocide, and I thought we weren’t supposed to argue about definitions 🤷‍♀️

Fuck you Onion, you ruined my morning

Tuvok Pon Farr episode deleted scene where Janeway sadly goes to her quarters and puts her Vulcan strap away (there's a calendar behind her with the day circled three times in red. exclamation marks.)

I realized that's it's now officially January first, 2025 and the first I've done into the year is read maxiel porn. what has my life become.

I went to a work event this afternoon where coincidentally my little brother was working security at. He was busy so we didn't have a lot of time to talk but, as he saw me approach, he took a KitKat out of his pocket, and gave it to me very nonchalantly.

Now it just made me think about some of the boys, probably Soap and Gaz, and how the pockets of their carrier vests are probably full of snacks, at all times. Price always tells them to empty their pockets because seriously, but the man changed his mind when Gaz took a whole can of coconut water out of his pocket right as Price complained about craving one.

Soap and Gaz also always share with Nikolai whenever he's around, so that helps too.

👊 (fist) 💖 (heart)🪞 (mirror) 🎶 (music) for oc ask!

the ask game here!

🪞: Does your OC have a mirror counterpart? If so, what is their mirror counterpart like?

Yes :) Mirror Meteor is a sickly creature, a cornered dog who was taught to be helpless, he's currently a bit incomplete, a bit scared, and very alone.

👊: What would a boss fight against your OC look like? What attacks would they use and why would they be fighting Kirby?

Accounts from witnesses of fights Sir Meteor has been in suggest that his battles are often in the sky, space, and the stars--citizens of the planet Earth, the planet he had defended suggested this was because he didnt want to shatter the planet, but no evidence has been presented to weather this is within ability. One has to expect a high power fight filled with long range and close quarter answers. Lists of his abilities include but are not limited to: control of fire, explosions, and meteors. He is able to discorporate his body and take form of a meteor, but most interestingly he is the first recorded summoner of heart spears.

Rumors of his more fantastical abilites include raising the dead and speaking to their bones as well as being able to grant wishes if you wish on a him when he passes by as falling star--but these surely hold no substance, so worry not about undead armies if you ever did fight him--he certainly can loose.

💖: Has your OC met Kirby? If they have, what is their relationship with him like?

Sir Meteor was a controversial member of the GSA, and his departure was not a happy one. He has a wanted poster put out under the GSA's emblem, and Meta Knight is aware of this, and by extension Kirby is too. From the start Kirby had been told Sir Meteor was an enemy, so unlike so many who did not deserve a chance in the first place, Sir Meteor had not been given a chance at friendship with Kirby... at first anyways. What actually happened at the GSA? Is this cold treatment deserved? Kirby might end up regretting this later. Meteor on the other hand is taking a while to warm up.

🎶: What is a song that you associate with your OC, and why do you associate it with them?

answered here!

Jason tries, a grand total of one time, to get Drouot to do the smart thing and go to bed. He looks like mashed potatoes that got left in the fridge for too long; weirdly pasty with dark patches. That chair's not that comfortable and besides, Jason is...not fine, but not going to die in the next eight hours or anything. It's not like he's sharing any information. Or being remotely entertaining, though to be fair on that one, Jason's only really managing blocks of consciousness lasting about fifteen minutes on the outside.

But still.

"I'm serious," he mutters, swallowing a yawn of his own. "M'fine."

"Mm-hm." Drouot's not looking at him. He's doing something on his laptop, but the light makes Jason's headache worse and he can't make out what it is. "That's good, boss."

Oh, for...

"I'm ordering you to go to bed," he rasps, willing his stupidly-choked throat not to betray him. "I am still your commanding officer and--"

"You're incapacitated, boss," Drouot says smoothly. "That means I'm in charge and don't have to do shit I don't want to."

"That is not what that means--"

And here's the coughing. Drouot passes him the cup of ice chips without looking over and he takes one resentfully, bites it, and takes another one.

"If you get sick, then what," he finally wheezes. Drouot shrugs.

"Riley takes over, as punishment for you being a dumbass who thought blowing up a whole-ass building and almost dying was a good idea." Oh. He's still a little pissed about that. Well, it was a good idea and it's not Jason's fault they can't appreciate it more. "But I'm not going to get sick. So it doesn't matter."

Jason almost wishes he would, just because of this infuriatingly unfair conversation. Almost, because Dylan will probably be worse and none of them are willing to leave him entirely alone because of the security risk.

(He's grateful for that one. He couldn't fight off a mosquito right now.)

"You could," he grumbles. Not his best comeback, but sue him, he's drugged and injured and fighting to stay awake and win the argument. Drouot just huffs a laugh.

"Go back to sleep, boss. You don't look so good."

"I don't--" His throat tenses and he pauses, breathes carefully. "Fine. But when you get sick or fall down stairs or something, I'm not sparing a drop of sympathy."

"Mm-hm."

REVERT?!?

REVEEERTTTT?????

I am LOOKING

OH GOD I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY AAK I JUST KNOW I NEED TO KNOW MORE OF THIS STUPID WET BEAST OF A CLOWN ON THIS AU

oh you know how it is

when theres this almost overwhelming power seeping into your mind, changing and breaking and folding it. maybe it makes your worst come out to the broad light, maybe something happens to you and its enough to shift something in you. and this power can be the amplifier.

then youre put in a containment, with nothing but your own mind as company, and things just keep reverbing and amplifying and changing even more

then youre free, and suddenly all of that noise is gone. its silent, but at first even painful, like constant ringing in your ears after constant bombardment with noise

i think suddenly having your mind stripped of something this impactful could be a trigger for a change. and maybe now that most of it is gone, you can think more clearly. reverting fully is impossible, too many things changed permanently both externally and internally. but some things can come back, even if partially. maybe enjoying something you abandoned long ago? or accepting the past happened and maybe its time to move on

not that the last part could be that easy but hey, who knows

[napping-sapphic]

can tell the pain induced lack of sleep is getting to me because i just got emotional over the somber feeling of a heating pad losing its warmth

[leifyposting]

hey do y'all wanna hear smth embarrassing

while i was on a social media break i would occasionally miss yapping on here so much that i would. text myself fandom-related thoughts. just to have somewhere to put them. like screaming into the void except the void is whatsapp

anyway here's one
