Spotify seems to have laid off the “maybe this girl needs to listen to Taylor Swift and Chappell Roan for secret spotify reasons” song recommendations lately and it recommended me a bluegrass band singing about organized labor in the northeast which then led me to their songs featuring North Carolina so it’s nice that the music recommendations make more sense now
#the unionizing in 19th century boston is fine but it’s funny to lead with that with me and not say the song about polk county#of all places#i don’t only listen to music about north carolina i just think it’s nice#north carolina mentioned dot jpg

No witchy Wednesday this week. Life decided NO.
#Mr kdnfb made me socialize two days in a row this weekend#bah humbug#it was fun but man did I crash on Sunday night#sick child#broken shit in the house leading to hurricane season is not a good idea#took a golf ball sized rock to my windshield#so that was fun#both my kids are now done with school for the summer#which means they’re already bored#and one of them is learning to drive#and he’s doing fine but it’s still a little stressful for me 😬#and of course the job search decided this week would be#feast time where we’re all these jobs six months ago?!?!?#so I’ve been applying to those which takes time#instead of working on my fics#also I might be headed back to a library#not the same one but in the same county cooperative#so my former coworkers gave me the stink eye when I asked them for references#now if I can just get a freaking interview….#but I’m qualified for those jobs#like recently have experience#and if I can just get SOMETHING#it buys me time to do internships#or crap editing or writing jobs to check that experience box#on my resume

I just remembered how my sister and I used to very often have stories/thoughts to exchange when we came hime from fun-but-overwhelming events about our Characters in those events
Such as at the water park orrr well this is hard to do with family reunions but maybe dances? I think we mostly did it with parks like rollercoasters or mini golf or carnivals. Oh or like the mall
anyway it's very fun and all casts of characters should be put into Events and Activities in Your Hometown (without naming your hometown if you share the story). Very highly recommend
#writing#need to do this with turtles#sending them to the Gem Show#county fair#water park#farmers market#very easily can be a crackfic or there are Plot Reasons for them being there#both fun#this is also very fun when you have a large cast of characters#because every new place you go toˏ ie next booth/activity at a ren fairˏ you get to think about which characters would be into that#and who would've tagged along with them#then you get them all meeting back up at the end which is fun#this is more to make the Events easier than to make the writing juices flow. but sometimes it leads to some cool characters insights or#unexpected plot ideas

doing math on voter turnout is making me twitch with fervent hopeless hope bc like
there are now 2.7 million registered voters in harris county, which had a turnout of 66% and went to biden by 56% in 2020
if kamala matches those percentages now, that will account for just shy of a million votes -- more than 300k raw votes more than in 2020
...when trump won texas by around 600k votes
and that's matching those figures -- if turnout is higher, if her margin is higher, that eats sharply away at that margin even more
i'm just... there's a reason she came to houston less than ten days before election day and it wasn't to see the astros
#the other major cities have also seen huge increases in voter registration and also trend as blue or bluer in general#high turnout in texas cities could lead to a massive upset#it would take 75% turnout and 60% democrat for harris county to break that 600k margin#but that's very much pie-in-the-sky even more than anything else#except as a demonstration of how absolutely fucking *massive* harris county is - 3rd largest in the country#there are more registered voters in harris county alone than the total population of fifteen states#increasing voter turnout in harris county could make a huge difference#(80% turnout at the same 56% blue would completely wipe out that 600k margin alone.)#so come on come on#get out the vote

European here. You're right that America was home to multiple cultures spread over a vast area that couldn't be divided by state lines. True. Then you colonizing fuckers exterminated them. Then you invaded Mexico. Nothing you say carries weight. Hope this helps 🙏🏽💞
I'll only ask you who it benefits to perpetuate the convenient lie that indigenous people are all dead. Especially considering that indigenous people still are still living under the systems that enabled (and are still enabling) their genocide.
#they are still here!#quite a bit of them actually#if you disregard the colonialist ''blood quantum'' bullshit#that is a tool of their genocide#!!!#for example about a 20 min drive from my hometown is a community of black choctaw people#still living with a vibrant culture#in fact they are the leading force for solving food deserts for the larger black community#in my county#and not to mention that chicanos are also in part indigenous

not going to meet my writing goal today but did make a very important diagram of the hook, line, and sinker relationships
#and whoever else holly might be fucking is no one’s business she has the sense to stay out of the larger mess#kinda hate that i ended up having john pull most. does NOT mean i think he has the most rizz. or any#for what it’s worth alex is also jestiny’s ex but he’s not in the story#(verse divergence founded on him hearing his ex jestiny lives in hope county now.#and deciding cult busting isn’t worth it to possibly have to see her. thus never setting off the chain of events leading to the arrest)

anyone wanna come over next week and disassociate from this realty with me next week? if we're lucky we can clip into the berenstein bears universe for a few hours. i'll bring the snacks
#gonna try and distract myself with veilguard but i already know i'm going to be an anxious mess all day#it's all anyone is going to be talking about and the maga cult is out in full force rn with signs and flags everywhere cus im in a red stat#my actual county always goes blue but still my heartrate skyrockets whenever i see a red baseball cap these days#got jumpscared at the aquarium last weekend when a fam in trump merch came around the corner cus i thought they were gonna jump me#its just like covid where i was in a near constant state of fear whenever we went out to get groceries or something#not cus of the virius but cause of all the reports i kept seeing about asain's getting jumped because trump kept calling it the china virus#i was constantly looking over my shoulder when my bf and I went out because I could just tell instantly when someone was following him#the fox-newsers were not subtle when eying up my bf and trying to figure out what ethnicity he was under his mask#i kinda lost count of how many times I would yank him down another isle or lead him to the other side of the store saying I forgot somethin#it just became a normal part of going out which both depressed and upset me#but yeah kinda entering that mindset the closer we get to the 5th#i know my bf is going to want to watch the results real time but his parents will be staying with us during the election#and like his dad is a trump supporter which just kinda blows my mind because trump would not respect him at all

The idea that next generation of the Knight-Doberman conglomerate becomes 80% women… tickles my fancy.
#at that point most of their business is legitimate with all the work bray put into establishing ownership power and connection in the#community is like so important to the future of the conglomerate yes they still deal guns but that’s because braylen ain’t turning down#money BUT they don’t have to if they don’t want to#imagine a random donation to the planned parenthood’s in dade county or her contribution to funding education that ppl don’t really know#my girl put in the work to release them from the blood and violence she once participated in and endured#so yeah her recruits turn to women naturally cause this isn’t a matter of ego#lead with community in mind and bray feels women and girls are more likely to do that naturally#but she also loves a ‘bitch’ cause yeah she still keep shooters on payroll#CULTIVATE A LEGEND#OOC

All the people online going 'any criticism of Democrats must mean you want Trump to win' and lecturing people in Listen Up Chucklefuck tones to 'just VOTE' and 'don't you DARE not vote!' have never done GOTV canvassing, voter registration, or education on voter's rights, nor read anything about the disenfranchisement of largely marginalized populations in the US by things like voter roll scrubs, gerrymandering, etc. before and it shows in what they think is an acceptable way to talk to people.
I am absolutely not advocating for them to start canvassing, barring an effective and lasting intervention to fix how they talk to other people, because at best they'd convince a bunch of people not to vote. But it's like, you think yelling at people online all day is a good use of your time because voting is allegedly so important to you, but then you do absolutely nothing in the way of non-condescending voter education, empowerment, or outreach? Maybe you'd be less angry if you logged off, took a deep breath, and signed up to get volunteer deputy voter registrar certified or to work at a polling place. Or got connected to an organization working to expand voter accessibility and prevent voter intimidation/disenfranchisement.
It's easier to just yell at people online and assume that anyone expressing discouragement about something that's easy for you to ~just go do~ is a do-nothing, I know. But wouldn't it feel better to do something helpful for a change?
#before anyone comes at me I was a field lead for Harris County GOTV efforts *in 2020* so 1. you're welcome 2. get on my level.#i'm not exactly charismatic or friendly myself but even i know that being rude to people you expect something from is foolish.#us politics#i honestly think some of these 'shut up and VOTE!!1!' people are a psyop to depress turnout

She’d be such a good dog to take graffiti and urban exploration pictures with
#need to find safe places to explore with her#but I worry with urban exploring that there could be glass and needles and other miscellaneous dangers#there is an abandoned railroad in my county I should ask dad to take me there since he’s already explored it#also i wanna take her to the city at some point that would be so fun but her loose lead walking still isn’t up to speed for that#juno#husky mix

You'd think making charts or characters to explain it in world would make it easier but no
making up oc lore: fuck yes a little guy just for me
writing down oc lore: what the fuck
#Alt text#OTL and this is only in one county (well. one empire)#i still have to figure out the other countries because growing fear that foreign powers will set the various niblings of the emperor against#each other (as your niblings are considered legally equal to your kids here and all can inherit from you) leading the emperor to#be worried and start setting up heir titles earlier than their oldest child thinks is necessary#but can't move forward while their eldest child is presenting marsi because they'd need to present as jzusi to make the heir appointment#permanent#but the oldest child is more worried about their friend an attendant who's family works in printing in the city#oh and the city the court and the various rural countries all have different variations on what they do with the plural pronouns#in rural areas it's more likely to get dropped unless specifically needed for clarity#while in cities the plural pronoun only matches the gender of the first named individual#while in the court you can stack two plural pronouns if a group is of more than one and you'd use the pronoun of the highest ranking#individual in the group and then the pronoun of the majority of the group#or second most majority if the first majority is the same as the highest ranking#..... anyway there's so much. a plot? ah ha not a ton. worldbuilding? grammar rules? yes. and i know it all. in my head. but explaining it?#o(-< ough
