#saw the phrase 'your future husband' and got ticked off#every time#and I can't really articulate why#it's something about...it feels like you're in a holding pattern?#just waiting?#very 'when will my life begin?' kind of feeling#and I know the ladies here know how annoying that is#I dunno I know I've already complained about this same subject lol#but I was raised (at least on my mom's side of things) not to buy into the whole soulmate thing#mom doesn't even say 'my husband is my best friend'#she sees that entire relationship as something else#they're a partnership. a team.#and it's a choice#a choice they both make every single day (sometimes every hour...) and a commitment they renew all the time#I don't believe there is 'one perfect mate' as Henry in Ever After puts it#I believe you can meet a person who is your equal and who shares your goals and values (hopefully) and things line up and#*and you agree to do life together#(which is why I don't necessarily have anything against arranged marriages if the two people involved consent to it)#(that's a different subject but in a solid community the people arranging it would know the marriage works in some way)#(hopefully because they know the people in question and how they would complement each other)#so this whole 'my future spouse' feels like it's setting up these impossible expectations which leads to disappointment OR compromise#(I also never made a list of qualities I would want in a husband so maybe it's just me)#(ok I have a small list but it's not the kind teenage girls generally make)#seriously were things better back when there were fewer options?? sgkhdgkh;aga genuine question#this isn't fish in the sea this is a salmon farm#ok I'm done

people will hear you talk about struggling with mental illness and say “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it”. brother what part of the body does the mental illness happen in. what do you think is the problem

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.
i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.
the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.
they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?
but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.
so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.
the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.
the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."
the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

the funniest thing that’s happened to me recently is that someone seemingly tried to update my pronouns on the medical system but accidentally made it so that my actual name is now “They Them”

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

I love that I'm can always still find out about cool animals that I never knew existed. Like today I learned that brush-tailed porcupines exist and straight up look like giant rats with spines
