I mean, I guess congratulations are in order, Donald Trump. You’ve managed to mobilize an entire country. I’ve never seen so many Canadians this determined to buy local.

Have the day you voted for, y’all!

Anyone saying that the "tarrifs targeting red and swing states" thing is good is getting an insta-block BTW I've already seen people in the general tags saying we deserve it and that they hope everyone in Texas and Florida and every other red/purple state suffers immensely and it's sick. Our states have some of the worst voter suppression and largest marginalized populations. Trump doesn't give a fuck about his voter base, and neither does like any GOP politician, targeting red states in the hopes that making republican voters suffer will prompt GOP Governors and Congressman to stand up to Trump will never work. Like keeping us poor and illiterate and unemployed is HOW THEY STAY IN POWER. They do not give a single shit about the American people, so long as they can eat(and they will be able to no matter what) they couldn't give a less of a shit about their constituents starving. Hell, us starving will probably make them happy because they can paint you as the enemy and rile up whoever the fuck here is still allowed to vote in two years, which, statistically will not be the starving non-white, disabled, and queer people.

Don't laugh while innocent people suffer just because you don't like how a, let's be real, miniscule percentage of them voted. Voter suppression and interference was at an all time high, Trump basically admitted in front of god and everyone that Elon Musk fucked with things so he could win and the only reason no one did anything is because he's so old and so used to lying it's almost impossible to tell when he's being serious or just rambling bullshit.

Don't any of you fucking dare take joy in the suffering of innocent people. Hell, you shouldnt take joy in Trump voters suffering either, because you know, no one should have to starve and fear for their lives at all but I know actually holding true to your political beliefs is kinda hard for some of you so whatever. Just remember that laughing while people suffer is what the enemy does, and you're supposed to be better than them. At least, that's what y'all solid blue state assholes keep saying. Maybe shut the fuck up and act like it for once.

(Also I am not pretending to know what Canada should do, aside from protect their own citizens as well as swear to take marginalized American people fleeing for their lives, but I feel like you could just do country wide tarrifs instead of specifically singling out states who are only red due to massive voter suppression and election interference?? Always remember, if every single eligible American voted the GOP would never win another election for the rest of fucking time. So yeah, they're right to act, I just don't fully agree that they way they've chosen to act is going to work they way they think it will, which sucks for everyone on this goddamn continent.)

I think it's very fucked up that RedBull instructed Checo to deliberately break the rules so he doesn't trigger a safety car that may impact the chances of Max winning. Like he's already getting made fun of and bullied constantly, and the team is not helping the situation at all. It's like RedBull is trying to make him look like a moron

Current fear that has lodged deep into my soul: Everyone keeps reassuring me that it's not impossible to get accepted into PhD programs without first doing a Master's, and I want to trust them. But when I actually go and look at grad student profiles at the schools I'm applying to, they almost all have M.As or the equivalent. One of the professors I was interested in working with even outright told me that I should look into getting an M.A. first.

I cannot afford an M.A. -- I am the sole provider for both myself and my very disabled partner who cannot work. It's PhD or bust, and I'm very scared I'm wasting my time applying for these programs. And that I may be locked out of a career path I'd really love entirely because I don't have the money for it.

Thank you CBC for somewhat explaining this trend in terms that my parents can understand

you know what i'd love to see in the "we want to update these base game zones"? it's never going to happen, but it's something that bugs the hell out of me in any and every game/show/visual medium:

temperature-appropriate clothing.

it'd be nice to see all the numerous warmer clothing/armour/motif models eso has in its game used for the npcs in places buried in snow. and yes of course, the oodles of lighter/cooler/less layered clothing models for almost everywhere else, but what's more important right now is THE SNOW. you know how you make a place look cold? bundle up the people who are inhabiting it!

the argonian guild-store merchant in windhelm should be in a blanket burrito stuffed with enchanted heatpacks. lady laurent should not be faffing around the coldest areas of wrothgar IN CANONICAL HOT ARID DESERT CLOTHING

she's wearing the medium armour version of the redguard motif. aka: CLOTHING MADE TO LIVE COMFORTABLY IN THE OTHER END OF THE TEMPERATURE SPECTRUM.

give npcs warm clothing in cold places. please.

alright folks, I'll probably finish SVSSS v4 by this weekend (pray for me) and then I'll be done all of MXTX's books and I have no idea which series to try next... So!! I'm going to pose the question to people that might have more experience in the genre! These are ones I've either incidentally acquired or been recommended

[fazmid]

I am just so in awe of this post and I haven't stopped thinking about it since I took this screenshot a couple days ago. Because I realize this is the unstated assumption behind a lot of us politics posting on the internet already (that us politics are more important/real than anything happening in the rest of the world), but I still can't imagine explicitly typing out that threatening to annex your neighbours or participating in a campaign of literal ethnic cleansing in Gaza are distractions from us federal employees being fired or whatever the fuck is going on with elon musk, and not starting to smell that your head is entirely up your own asshole.

i finished reading persepolis today! Fantastic fantastic book, and although our situations aren't exactly the same, some parts of it hit uncomfortably close to home for me as an afghan refugee

Interview with Bratt. Okay will you ask him how you say his name so you stop pissing me off?

[teyrnacousland]

Heard someone else pronounce Tabris out loud for the first time today and I never considered it could be pronounced "Tab-riss". I've been pronouncing it "Tab-ree" this whole time because my brain saw -is and went French 👉
