introducing Pierce's father and making him this horrible racist person actually puts Pierce's character into a wildly different light. like, Pierce has always been a super racist character. if you're not white, he knows 10+ slurs for you and has used at least 4 of them in the last week. but Cornelius. Cornelius is racist to everyone. he's got slurs locked and loaded for Finnish people. Pierce grew up with this hyper-racist as a father and then he unlearnt 70% of it, which is. fascinating. and impressive, in a very pathetic way

wondering about Loop's thoughts on the party. since they're absolutely Siffrin even if they refuse to tell me about it. do they miss them? do they envy Siffrin? did theirs die? did they even get to the point where they're properly close to them? I'm guessing not, since they poked fun at 'family members'. but if so how did their loops turn out? I can't imagine the answer being WELL if they ended up A Star and Not Close To Their Friends

Pardon my lateness, but I was only today years old when I realized that Rosh HaShanah is directly related to the Arabic term for the New Year, "رأس السّنة" ("ra's al-sana", or "ras e'sene" in Lebanese dialect), which literally translates to "the head of the year" (yes, as in the literal head).

I need y'all to know for the record that I am NOT having a pjo phase. This madness extends to none of the rest of the franchise, it's just about Jason Grace and will end when I finally say everything I have to say about Jason Grace. I am possibly the first person in history this has happened to.

have one of those "THK lives" AUs and insert a character who is super upset with them because the bugs they cared about died to the infection THK was supposed to stop for good

Was wondering yesterday if Peeta's parents roles were switched--so if Mr. Mellark were the one calling Peeta names and hitting him and Mrs. Mellark was nice and soft-spoken--how people's opinions of them would change.

I tend to subscribe to the idea that you can't talk about everything and you can't be always concerned about everything and not posting about something is not necessarily evidence of not caring, alright? You've got to make decisions about what you have time and energy for. Of course you do!

Now, I'm sleep deprived and so my filter is lower so I'm certain I will regret posting this eventually, but. All that said. It is utterly insane to me how many posts I see (usually correctly, don't get me wrong, don't even start with me) highlighting Israeli crimes and demanding change, but when tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been protesting against their far-right government for TWENTY-NINE STRAIGHT WEEKS it has been flat fucking crickets from everyone I follow on every single website who is not Jewish or Israeli themselves.

If you want change, you have got to support the people on the ground fighting for it.

isnt the calendar colouring marking which day of the month is the first and last day? like the day of the week it starts and ends on? so september begins on a Sunday, ends on a Monday? the coloured chunks marking days not included in that month?

added your addition. the thing is, they don't fill the days. not all months anyway. to avoid annoying people with my bullshit, pics under the cut:

April is fine and suits your theory greatly (honestly, i wish it was the case. and looking only on January i thought it was. but then February and March threw me off and i began spiralling because of it 😂). May starts on Wednesday but Monday and Tuesday aren't colored.

July. Tuesday and Friday aren't colored. Saturday and Sunday are.

August. idk what to say. 30th and 31st are colored. so as missing Sunday.

our September that you can't really see. the top 6 missing days are colored as you said. but the bottom... 4 missing days are "white", Sat and Sun are gray.

October. the 1st missing Monday isn't colored. the 1st missing Friday also isn't colored. Sat and Sun are.

November. perfectly colored, suits your theory. next.

December. missing Monday-Saturday are colored as they "should". Wed-Fri aren't, then Sat-Sun are.

conclusion: i have no idea what is going on. they are not marking weekends or long holidays as well. i don't think so. i'll make better pictures when it's not that dark outside. the lighting is atrocious thus different angles to avoid the shade of my hand, i'm so sorry.

I think it's so interesting how in 92sies when they're handing out the flyers for the children's crusade all of the newsies it shows handing them out start with "can you read?" "do you know how to read?" before giving anyone a paper whereas Sarah just hands it to people and says "take this" "read this"

So much of what people call maturity is just resignation. Just like "no, this isn't right, but it's the way the world is and it ain't gonna change for you so shut up and pay the man"

i don't know how it could be pulled off, but i would be fascinated to see a social experiment about how even after huge successes and triumphs, it is so easy for the public to turn on a dime the moment they're given the opportunity to shame and feel disdain towards a woman. to pull the mask off and go, ah-ha! see how this is the default reaction? no matter what, once that narrative is in place and takes hold, it can't entirely be shaken, whether it's talk of no talent, being an industry plant, of being a man-eater, of being unstable, of being attention seeking, a narcissist, a manipulator, a liar, a problem. not in a way that's fair or constructive criticism (because that itself is a different and more measured discussion), but just rampant hatred and humiliation under the guise of moral superiority, of judgment because any choice a woman makes in the spotlight is wrong and ugly and mockable. every statement isn't right. every conversation reminiscing on their experiences or sharing things that have happened is playing the victim. not sexy enough is laughable. too sexy makes you a slut. not candid enough and you're cold and fake. too sincere and you're cringey. not pretty enough, never the right body, not simple enough, consumable enough. we keep pretending we're past doing this and then do it on repeat.
