There is a conversation to be had about the fact that Taylor Swift's album is being played in its entirety across all of iHeartRadio's 868 stations, pushing out the opportunities other artists might have had to get radioplay. That's the literal definition of a monopoly. No wonder she'll hit the top of the radio play charts with this maneuver, because at least 65 minutes (if not the back side of the album, which would take it to nearly twice that length) across EIGHT HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT STATIONS will be dedicated to her, artificially boosting her radio play and decreasing everyone else's. In this essay I will—
#i don't mean to turn into a hater but when you are pulling amazonian billionaire tactics i will turn into a hater#any of y'all that claim to be socialists/left-leaning and get excited about her becoming a billionaire do NOT understand basic theory#or praxis for that matter#she is LITERALLY pushing out other artists ala vanderbilt and the railroads#she's not a tortured poet she's a robber baron#anti taylor swift#anti ttpd

They don’t even attempt to assassinate US politicians anymore. You notice that? Not since the anthrax scare back for… who was it, Barack? And even that… pathetic. This new generation has no respect for an honest hitman. I’m not sure this new generation has any honest hitman - you see that shit with Boeing? Sloppy, fucking disgraceful - you kill the whistleblowers before they get halfway to a lawsuit. What kind of fucking amateur is doing faked suicides the night before testimony? Goddamn greenhorns. Back in my day someone tried to shoot Ronald Reagan in broad daylight. There used to be bomb threats to Congress. I took out a few union leaders in the utilities sector myself. Today’s generation? Won’t even threaten to throw a punch - not even over on that - what’s it now, ‘X’? They got no guts. None! And they don’t even have poor impulse control to boot! Too much of that - that panopticon anxiety bullshit. “Oh what if I get a called out post???” People used to send the president letters full of bioweapons. In the mail! Today’s generation? Not a chance. All because of woke.
#ra speaks#personal#JOKING.#this is a joke this is a parody of right wing rants regarding social phenomenon they believe to be oppressed by left leaning politics.#but within the perspective of an old fictional hitman.#this is a joke tangentially referencing my fictional hitmen from a fictional story in which no harm comes to career politicians#obviously but also if this gets me on a list o7#fbi agent in my phone I’m a disabled autistic dyke with zero engineering or chemistry background#my skills are best applied to…idk sabatoging national forest harvest regimes? but I’m not doing that they’re neglected enough as is.#edit: oops this is getting notes o/ hiiiii cia agent reading this post <3 a union leader my dad worked w got fucking assassinated#by Pinkertons and y’all didn’t do shit. I hope you have visions of hell and become a nomadic hermit self flagellating in the woods#edit 2: ooooooh there was a pres debate last night. that’s why people care about my two week old joke hitman post. was wondering why.

Repainted an old Byler illustration 💖
#byler#byler fanart#THIS TOOK SO LONG I SWEAR#it's not perfect but I had a lot of fun rendering this so it's fine AHHH#part of the reason I chose a higher angle is to show of as many Byler hints as possible#try to spot them all!#I think my favorite one is the plushies in the left corner#the frog one (Mike) leaning on the lion one (Will)#showing what Mike wants to do but not fully letting himself do it#the internalized homophobia hits hard sometimes uff#stranger things#st2#mike wheeler#mike wheeler fanart#will byers#will byers fanart#stranger things fanart#illustration#fanart#castle byers#art

life is good when you got a sunny Sun doodle in ur pocket
He's so happy to see you! You've been gone for a looOOOoong while, friend, but he's so glad you're back! You two can play games, tell stories about your adventures outside the daycare, and have an extra long snack time! Won't you stay a while?
#fnaf sun#fnaf daycare attendant#sundrop#fnaf dca#dca fandom#drawing a biblically-accurate leaning Sun is so refreshing#and messing around w/ a different way to draw him!#it really feels like revisiting the og fandom; yanno?#like having been away from him for so long but he doesn't hesitate to pick up right where you two left off#there's a lot of au's; many incredible ones in fact!#but the og remains my favorite ;w;#such an adorable goober ^-^ hehe!#cray kay art

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND READ THIS.
THE CURRENT VOTE COUNT IS NOT THE FINAL RESULT.
IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO COUNT ALL OF THE VOTES AND DETERMINE WHO WINS THE ELECTION (POSSIBLY MORE IF A RECOUNT IS NECESSARY).
IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THE FINAL RESULTS WILL NOT LOOK LIKE THE INITIAL RESULTS.
STOP DOOMPOSTING AND LEARN HOW THIS SHIT WORKS.
#scary crane rambles#not fandom#let's get serious#us politics#american politics#us election#election night#election 2024#2024 election#kamala harris#donald trump#2024 presidential election#2024 presidential race#voting#us election 2024#it's also highly likely that trump is cheating to make it look like he's won#i've heard from several sources that he prevented certain journalists from accessing election data#most of which were left-leaning or liberal#and i dont think i've ever seen states being called so quickly in any other election#tldr i think trump tried to rush things and is desperately hoping that no one actually bothers to count the votes now#because if they do then it'll be super obvious that he tried to interfere

@mcyt-yuri-week Day 5, Rose/Thorns I never stop thinking about SL episode 8 never ever
#gempearl#pearlgem#shinyduo#shiny duo#trafficshipping#I tried to word it a few different ways but I feel like its still so easy to interpret this as negative but noo its positive#because the thorns here are referencing the scarlet persona that Pearl's embraced. being left with nothing but it - the thorns#But it's not that Gem likes her just for her scarlet persona. She likes her for her. Pearl's not just thorns#Gem doesnt really care about the “thorns” or the petalless rose stem. she cares about Pearl. She thinks Pearl's cool (thumbs up emoji)#Pearl changes into her scarlet fit like she has many times before with the purpose of scaring people & leaning into her feared witch thing#but Gem's just like “omg slayyy” and its the best. And to Pearl it's like whoag#Gem never saw how she changed. Never saw her be ostracized and the aftermath#But she thought that the Pearl she did see in SL was cool and so easily accepted her when Pearl herself though herself so unacceptable#she got love from the Mounders and BigB and that warms my heart but Gem being a newcomer immediately embracing Pearl is just#it hits different#whoa jimbo way too many tags hghghgh#mcytyuriweekvalentines#at first I thought about smth like “where the others saw thorns you saw a rose” but I thought it was more fitting this way#I guess you guys be the judge of that haha idk what Im saying#tubby art

something something ‘feminine’ female characters being deserving of all things good and righteous and holy because of them overcoming their suffering by working within the system that hurts them using their wiley feminine attributes and charm something something ‘masculine’ female characters being villainized for fighting outside the constraints of the system they’re still subjected to in a more hands on approach and being victims of similar if not the same circumstances as their ‘feminine’ female peers but it doesn’t count for some reason because they don’t suffer as prettily as their counterparts something something
#asoiaf#rhaenyra targaryen#daenerys targaryen#arya stark#lyanna stark#brienne of tarth#i don’t think many of you are as left leaning as you position yourself as#‘let women be feminine’ how about i shove my foot up your ahh

i love when ppl draw bumblebee like the happy little creachure he is but also i love when people draw bumblebee like he's had 500 beers in the last 1 hour and still the pain won't even ebb

Kremy picked up most of his personality from Garou. He abandoned whatever he was like before in favour of being someone who walks and talks like he's all powerful, because maybe it'll be true if he does. Maybe he'll get rich and gain enough authority that he can have his hearts desires and never have to run again.
But, when he separated himself from Garou he realized he doesn't know who the fuck he is. Even in private when he isn't performing for anyone, he looks at himself and the mask is all he sees. Any piece of Kremy Lecroux; child from Whippoorwallow was removed with a surgical precision and tossed out years ago, carefully replaced with Kremy Lecroux; Diligent Assistant of Remy Garou.
What is he now? Just. "Kremy Lecroux"?
Does he have any opinions on things that aren't a carefully calculated lie?
Gideon asked him what his favourite colour was, just a fun little question to get to know each other. Gideon liked blue, oddly enough. Kremy said purple, and gestured to his suit.
That wasn't even true. It's a nice colour. Easy on the eyes, shows off wealth, goes good with green. It's not his favourite.
Does he have favourite?
He used to have a favourite.
He wishes he could remember what it was.
#sorry about this one#uh oh bestie your masking as a coping technique caused you to lose who you are as a person#uh oh you now are leaning into the mask to avoid facing whatever inner child you left for dead years ago#uh oh. mask is breaking#therapy. now#once upon a witchlight#legends of avantris#ouaw#text#this is a true fact#kremy lecroux#my own hc
