Who wants local Dallas, TX tea?

Btw when I give my tangent related thoughts and not summarizes/calls of action/recap of the local tea verbatim, I will go in italics and tiny font like this

A couple weeks ago unfortunately there was a shooting at the State Fair and obviously yes it's hurt attendance since. Well about 4 days ago the numbers of how much the state of TX sends tax payer money to Israel dropped- that lead to a rumor and quiet boycott by locals

Not wanting to attend a partially tax payer funded large event because

the money not being used to implement security measures to match the "no licenses necessary to carry for all" gun rule IS stupid dangerous and

more people are turning anti gun- pro regulation/ gun ban because even state events aren't safe as once promised and promoted

Well the tea is that both Trumpets and Joeys hard-core Trump/MAGA Republicans and Democrats/Biden stans btw are discussing not trusting the TX government more than usual because the funding for Isreal looks too similar to the yearly funding put aside for updating the grid.

Normally I would dismiss conspiracy theories and rumors like this but when both those camps start talking to each other and agreeing on disliking the same people, you better listen because they may be using their bundle of worms working the upstairs for once, bless their hearts.

Earlier this year our unkept and fungus filled big toe nail of a person Atorney General should've been impeached for a lot of strongly backed and evidence heavy reasons with the big one being misusing tax payer funds for personal spending. But despite the overwhelming evidence, the GOP majority TX gov voted the equivalent of *air quotes* "nah, we don't give a fuck" not guilty- indirectly admitting to the whole state that they all use tax payer funds for reasons none of us are told about. If Ken Paxton can get away with installing a kitchen counter top for his ex wife and paying his mistress turned girl friend to not snitch about stuff he's doing, what else could the TX gov be lying about and for how long have they been doing so when it comes to using tax payer dollars? It's concerningly convenient the funding for Isreal is almost the same as the grid funding knowing ERCOT has sent multiple power outage warnings and alerts for this past summer and the upcoming winter. Also this all happening when apparently the TX gov has extra funding from charging absurdly high property taxes last year - I wish a very "the tree won't miss next time" to Greg Abbott in particular and a very get fucked to the TX GOP who seemed a little too happy about it

Now as local, I understand if folks quietly boycott by not going to the Fair since openly boycotting Israel in public is actually illegal here, it's why I've been careful with my digital footprint in how I share info on tiktok or opt out for safety, both are valid; if the rumor is true, the TX GOP are going to regret arming the masses without gun license documentation. Across party lines everyone is still mad about the Winter Storm of 2021 that killed and disabled a lot of Texans that too this day the state actively underestimated to not alert the rest of the US or World- if tax payer money isn't used to keep tax payers safe, they're going to snap at the people who lied and not each other. And I won't blame Texans when the time comes because over $600 on property taxes this year when all we did is start installing a new fence (it's not even done btw) and nothing else is ridiculous when all I want is for the local library, food kitchen, and school district to get funded properly instead of war crimes at our southern border and overseas. A $100 jump every year for no reason was, bad but citing an unfinished fence this year as an improvement to an unchanged property since 2014 when we had to fix roof damage just makes my blood boil

So as the tea server I want to make one thing clear:

I strongly encourage and endorse everyone to support the local vendors who are at the State Fair this year- directly do so by using their online and physical locations that aren't at Fair Park. I cannot stress this enough, support the local businesses because this year is going to be a bad year. I beg of you don't let the state get a cut when you can regardless of the solidarity, anger, or fear. The City of Dallas & Texas in general will make enough with the upcoming football games at the cotton bowl- focus on supporting local when given the opportunity if you are planning to attend for said games.

And if you are/will be performing/vending at the State Fair of Texas this year (2023)

SET UP DONATIONS/TIPPING

STREAM/POST ON YOUTUBE AND TIKTOK

HAVE AN ONLINE STORE/TIPPING/DONATIONS SET UP

Because yeah, assume you will be getting the same if not lower than 2021 revenue- Texans got plenty of good reasons and rumors to not support the Fair. And we all know word gets around quickly- folks aren't gonna change their minds when they're fed up/in solidarity. And non Texan Americans & tourists will absolutely be on board with giving a silent middle finger to the TX government if given the opportunity.

Every time someone comments the state of musical theatre in their country by saying musicals here should be presented in English because the translations are awful, a muse loses its lyre.

I mean, sure, if you think musicals should always be sung in their original language to preserve the exact vocal flow the original artists intended or whatever other purist connoisseur reason, fine. You're entitled to that opinion.

But other than that, the correct statement is this: musicals here should be translated better because the current translations are awful.

Just saying.

One of my worries for chapter 5 update has been how they would translate Meleanor’s lullaby 🤔 It has such a pivotal part in the story that I really hope they don’t change it drastically 🥲

But then I realized…I have a new fear. What if they change the incantation of Lilia’s UM 😭😭

Like they did with Silver’s and Malleus’s OTL 😔

What if they change Sebek’s??

Lilia UM and the importance of it to part 5 and especially 6….

I don’t know what would be worse, the “night blessing” change or Lilia’s UM 😭🥲

It's so weird how I'll go days or weeks without someone in my inbox complaining about leasebound and then they'll jump in with something that's from like

SRK!Don girlies pack it up and take it home we're all f*cked after 84 years we finally get official news about Don 3 coming in 2025 or so and there's uh. i can't believe i'm saying this this is actually coming out of my mouth but there's no Shah Rukh

whenever i need a laugh or a smile i go back and watch the early bells hells episodes. like pre-bassuras was such an insane vibe for an adventuring party and the shit they got into? unparalleled. truly just a collection of guys doing shit and sometimes experiencing consequences. and then bassuras came down on them like the fucking sword of damocles. i hope that one day, when this is all over, bells hells will still travel, doing dumb shit and fucking around like they once did for lord ariks eshteross. i hope they find that peace once their questions are answered, but i don’t know if a quiet life is for them. i think they’d just continue on, continue to scheme, do incredibly chaotic shit for forever. just let them throw parties, root out government corruption and little shade creepers every once in a while, and pretend to be ghosts, that’s the proper bells hells post-campaign enrichment plan

episode ## ft @hiveruled "councilman anderson?" her camera is already rolling, though aimed at their feet to avoid suspicions of preemptively filming. she's not going to miss out on something juicy because he thinks he's off the record. "my name is sara, i emailed you earlier? thank you for meeting with me."

another fun fact about my dumb little ninjastuck au is that, bc she was raised by kai/the occasional sympathetic ignacian, nya knows very little about troll culture. colton, who had a lusus and some influence from his ancestor, takes it upon himself to teach nya all the things she missed (jay also tries to do this to varying levels of success. they are both idiots <3).

this results in colton crushing pale on nya btw <>

WIP Weekend

Fuck it, haven't done one of these in forever and a day XP Not tagged by anyone, doing it just because!

No pressure tagging: @lucien-lachance, @simonsquest, @rosebleue, anyone else that has something they're working on they want to show off

More LoS, kicking back to the timeline of the 1st game.

Petru’s stomach twisted into tighter and tighter knots the more the man spoke. Carrying a body to the graveyard - was it just an unfortunate traveler Gabriel had met on the road? And the glaring - most people thought Gabriel was glaring when he really wasn’t, but he would have been if he’d been sent out the day after his son was born. Yet - no, he wouldn’t have, because Gabriel wouldn’t have gone. It wouldn’t matter that the Elders commanded it of him, he would refuse. Christ himself would have to descend from Heaven to convince Gabriel to leave his wife and newborn son - and even He would find it a difficult prospect. Which could only mean… “Ruglia? You’ve gone pale—“ Gabriel always greeted Marie first when he returned home. He wasn’t supposed to, but he always, always did.

I literally just recruited you. Down, boy.

Apparently Sonny's sopping wet nerd musician vibes have bewitched the most fuckable man in the Commonwealth. Hilarious that prior to getting frozen in the vault, the only person who ever flirted with him was his literal wife.

[gothofgotham]

Everyone what was your earliest weird as fuck memory, mine was when I was watching the local news when I was little and they found the Montauk Monster on a shore near me and showed it, because what the FUCK was that and what the FUCK happens in Montauk on Long Island
