#it’s a choice

I was so worried that they were going to full on write Din’s covert off as an actual cult this is season, and I’m so so happy that’s not that case so far.

I think there’s so much more nuance to Din’s covert that a lot of fandom don’t give it credit for. I swear, some of ya’ll act like Din is being held captive by his covert (and Bo too after the recent episode) and it’s like…they’re not.

The Armorer literally told Bo that she’s been redeemed by the way of their Creed and if she WANTS to she can join them (for however long she wants to be there), but she is free to leave any time she desires. No one is going to hold her captive there.

Same with Din. Yes, he broke his creed and became an apostate, but they didn’t hunt him down and strip him of his armor. This is the Way they follow and they’ve survived so long—have been together so long—because they stuck to is to rigidly. I love how faithful Din is to his Way. I love how much it means to him. The covert is his family. Of course he’s going to fight for it.

I don’t know, some peoples relationship with Din’s covert in this fandom is weird. Like yeah, it’s not perfect, but it’s not a full-blown cult keeping all its members locked away from the rest of the galaxy. They’re a people on the brink of extinction and doing what they can to survive.

I just think we’ve gone so long with just fanon content that it’s skewing perception on canon content.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: Netflix needs to pay Micheal C. Hall whatever he asks for to play the investigator who takes down Joe Goldberg on the final season of You. If it can’t be Jenna Ortega’s character, make a new one and make it him. We’d finally see Joe face Dexter’s justice 😂

According to the world, we must think ourselves into and out of things. Need to get out of a uncomfortable situation? Think! There’s gotta be something I can think of… something I can do…

But if you can find it within any moment to feel good, or, at least better than what you’re experiencing by observing your current 3D environment, then you automatically reap the benefits. Feeling good is a choice you can make to create your life how you’d like it to be, but it must start from within. Just by choosing to want to feel better already separated you from what isn’t bringing you joy in your thoughts in the current moment. It’s a detachment, and another chance to choose another path of feeling. It can be a breath, a pause, however small, but it will lead to a better outlook, then subsequently a better outcome for any situation.

It’s your choice to connect to your internal support system, and that’s how you do it. The desire, in the moment, to choose to feel differently, to feel into a more positive way of feeling from your current perspective is how you are currently choosing to feel. Your desire for the better feeling, and your decision to break away from your current downward spiral of momentum of belief that you have now chosen will systematically change your perception, thereby improving your mood, and your ability to maneuver more positively and effectively within your undesirable surroundings will make them seem easier, more manageable. It’s all in your ability to focus on what you would prefer rather than what you usually think which creates dissatisfaction, and a dissonance to what you really want.

I’m with Homer. The choice of feeling, is where it’s at. 🤔🧠🤘💓

So, a comparatively high amount of states are voting on the fate of ranked choice voting this year. Missouri is voting on whether or not to kill it, Alaska is voting on whether or not to keep it, and most importantly, Nevada, Oregon and Idaho are voting on whether or not to adopt ranked choice voting, with maybe Colorado to follow.

And if you live in these states, even if you don't want to vote at the top of the ticket, I urge you to get out there and vote in favor of ranked choice voting on all of them.

Like, the two-party monopoly is a big part of the reason why politics in this country is so shit, and a big part of that is our "first past the post" system making it basically mathematically impossible for candidates outside of them to win anything beyond a local or state level.

So, if you want to try and break the cycle of voting for the lesser evil, of bipartisan cruelty towards the Global South and the country's own citizens alike, we need to change this and we need to vote on it where we can.
