It probably would have been a good idea to address the problem back when they were Men's Rights Activists in 2012.

It had become an intangible yet omnipresent force; one steeped in prejudice and inescapable economic hardship. A 'Black Tax' had been levied, a burden of poverty, that resulted in a dysfunctional cycle of wage inequality and generations of systematic exclusion. It had been a slow evolution, but the effects had been undeniable. Those that carried its weight, their faces stoic, could only look upon the reality of a socioeconomic system that worked against their progress. They had been presented with a fixed set of parameters and no way to escape them. What had originally been a force of racism had become an invisible force, lending an understanding of why the cycle of poverty refused to relent. The tax remained, an unscalable wall, with hands clenched in fists of defiance.

Something incredibly satisfying about knowing your craft and the confidence that goes with it. Just the casual “yeah I could make that”. Want a band tee? Yeah I can embroider my own with the lyrics I want. Bridesmaid dress too long? Yeah I can hem it. Need new slippers? Yeah I can crochet a pair (and give them bunny ears). And of course it’s not perfect but nothing beats that feeling of being able to craft your own solution with your own two hands

universal healthcare is not broken and anyone trying to convince you it is is delusional and a dckrider for big health insurance. yes there are wait times but waiting for care is Not the same as being denied care.

in america your physician prescribes care and an insurer can still cuck you out of it because someone across the continent who has never met you can say: doesn’t seem medically necessary. Leaving you to handle a bill that is wildly inflated by the same insurers that just denied you.

let me drill it through your head you can pay thousands a year in premiums and still end up sick and financially burdened for years by One incident. no insurance company is Avoiding going broke by denying claims. theyre doing it to profit off your misfortune and your illness. Because healthcare fundamentally does not cost the amount that they claim it to be.

You know what? You know what I think?

I think that if we lived as we were meant to, in larger intimate ("extended family") groups and with more shared labor and time to do it (UBI NOW) people like me would not feel so useless and burdensome because there would be people around to help and to do what neurodivergent people can't while making valuable space for the neurodivergent to do what they ARE good at.

The way we live right now, all right, the way we live right now forces units of two adults to be able to do EVERYTHING or PAY to have someone come do it for them. I have to do the housework. I have to do it! But I am having to do a million different things and most of them I am not good at. I suck at them.

I wouldn't feel like shit, okay, if I had more than one other person around who was not a child and who could do the things I can't, like do the yard and cook and do repairs and basic maintenance; and someone else to split everything else that I like but is too much for me. It would free me to do what I am good at and enjoy. Cleaning, as in the sink and toilet, the windows, the blinds. Taking out trash. Folding, hanging, and sorting laundry.

But because all the shit I can do often relies on other shit being done first, and I can't do or have trouble doing those things, the shit I can do often can't be done. And even the shit I can do, I can't do ALL of it. So I can't keep up, and things get very bad.

We aren't meant to live like this. We are not meant to live like this.

That thought hurts so much because being able to flee the birth family is integral to survival for so many people. I'm so afraid that living in larger family groups would create more opportunities for, say, queer kids to be isolated, rejected, bullied, and abused. But if we gave people enough money to survive, and stopped considering children the property of their parents with no system in place to help them escape bad situations except a system that is often just as bad, just different.

I'm aware that communes and collectives aren't all that successful and are kind of a joke. I don't mean that. I mean a fundamental shift to multigenerational families where taking in "strays" (which my family did) is also normalized so people escaping abuse into existing households was accepted, with these families centered in maybe a couple of different larger residences so not everyone has to buy and maintain their own fucking washing machine and vacuum cleaner, and so people can benefit from large group meals that yield leftovers, and so child and elder care can also be centralized.

Then disabled people and the neurodivergent and sick and injured people, and pregnant people, and grieving people, would not have to either labor through all those stressors or consign themselves to living off an unlivable pittance or being put under legal guardianship.

I'm not saying anything new. People live like this in other parts of the world and maybe it sucks and I am wrong. But I'm just really mad right now because I can either do laundry or clean the sink but not both, and I really think we could improve society somewhat by making it so I did not have to choose one without sacrificing the other.

A small detail that I quite like, though I'm not sure it's intended to be canon, is that the black band around Thornax appears to be added to the fruit to facilitate its use as ammunition, and not something it has naturally.

Like in the sets, that black band is a track where the arms of the launcher are meant to hold. It's harder and smoother than the golden "flesh," which is made of a different, rubbery plastic. If you put the Thornax in the launcher the wrong way, so the arms are holding the golden part, it won't fire, it needs the smoother, raised surface to effectively launch the ball. That is explicitly what that band is for irl.

But judging by this image, it's possible that even in-universe, the same is true.

Granted, the image is stylized and silhouetted, but setting that aside for the moment. Notice how the fruit appears perfectly round, no raised ring in sight.

It's absolutely a very minor thing, but I don't know, I love small details like this that make the world feel more lived-in. You can't just pluck a Thornax off the vine and load it in your launcher, it has to be prepared for the arena and fitted with a launching band first. I think that's neat.

I really like Machete and Vasco, but I was wondering how many more OCs you have? I remember seeing some kind of dog deity on your twitter account and I've been wondering who it was ever since. 🤔

You can find most if them in my toyhouse! I still haven't added some of the most recent ones, like Ludovica.

My stats there seem to claim I have 97 characters listed, but none of them are as developed and active as Machete and Vasco. Many have just a design and a couple of core traits.

Unfortunately I can't say which one you might've seen back in twitter.

The "black tax" is an insidious force that reinforces poverty. It is a tax that is levied on the poor and, in many cases, it is a tax that they cannot avoid. The "black tax" erodes the limited resources of the poor, and it makes it more difficult for them to get ahead. It is a tax that traps people in poverty, and it is a tax that should be abolished.
