#like...so obvious

Oh. I just figured out Sammy's family problem.

Laughably obvious, now that I think about it.

They're buying Biosyn feed for the cows. Sammy knows Dodgson was dealing with MantahCorp. She knows he was in on abusing dinosaurs and invested in the control chips. But Biosyn offered her family affordable feed and a good contract (maybe even purchased livestock, though it's presumably easier to get European livestock for the sanctuary), and Sammy refused to get involved.

Their ranch is going to be unaffected by grain prices when the locusts start swarming in Season 3. But more importantly, it's going to connect Sammy to Biosyn: she'll be familiar with the company.

She probably called them out and threatened to expose Dodgson (a respectable and famous innovator!), and they said "If you keep quiet, you get your own house and farm, and we stay rich." And Sammy grumpily agreed.

NOTE: they're not growing Biosyn crops. They're just, say, in a treaty with Henderson Farms and Biosyn that says Biosyn will pay the Gutierrez Ranch one million dollars a year if they exclusively buy from Henderson Farms, which is in contract to Biosyn to grow exclusively Biosyn crops and use them to test their genetically-modified disease-fighting locusts which are 100% incapable of breeding. Furthermore, Henderson Farms will sell feed at a discount, saving the Gutierrez Ranch millions more a year, as long as they honor the contract. God Bless the Free Market and Deregulation!"

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

Rather spectacular what accepting one's feelings and the feelings of the person you've fallen in love with can do.

made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened. this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see

Leo learns something about himself 🏳️‍⚧️

Based roughly on this old post.

Bonus:

[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]

adding something to my "adult advice that i had to discover for myself either because no one told me or when i saw adults do it as a kid i couldn't possibly understand," featuring such hits as "grill sandwiches with mayo" and "almost no quality matters more than flexibility," and it is:

You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side
