#m: the curious politician

[lynzishell]

As summer turned to Autumn and the days got colder and shorter, Phoenix and Dawn found themselves shifting focus to their careers. They both earned big promotions that led to higher stress and longer hours. With less time to see each other during the week, they made the most of what small pockets of time they could… like their 15 minutes over coffee in the mornings.

Phoenix, who has been working for the San Myshuno Human Rights Commission, is now heading the Department for Housing and Community Development. At first, he was excited and had big plans for the future of the city. Unfortunately, it seems the more power he is given to make a positive impact, the more he runs into roadblocks and red tape. The stress and frustration started taking a toll.

To cope with the stress, he began spending more time in Mt. Komorebi where he’d go snowboarding with his friends the way he used to before Kiyoshi ever presented the idea of climbing the mountain.

Nothing like the rush of flying down the slopes and landing massive jumps to get your mind off things, I suppose.

Meanwhile, Dawn has been working for the Dreamer Foundation as an Event Planner. She organizes many of their fundraising events, and they’ve been doing so well that she’s started putting together more prestigious events for their larger donors. This, of course, comes with its own kind of stress and frustration.

Rather than take off for the mountains though, she felt like she needed to make time to slow down and breathe. So, she started getting into wellness activities like yoga and meditation.

Oh! Also, Atlas and Asher started coming over every Sunday to join them for dinner...

...and to watch the latest season of Somnium.

All four of them are now fully invested in the series. (how could they not be with a genius creator like @rebouks)

me watching the Zizek/Peterson debate for the first time: wow, a debate between the leading ideologies of our time! two intellectuals in opposite sides, a clash of minds for sure! I disagree with Peterson but this is worth paying attention to!

me watching the Zizek/Peterson debate again: I can't believe an intellectual like Zizek is debating a fucking clown like Peterson

me not bothering to watch it for a third time: I can't believe a fucking clown like Zizek is debating a fucking clown like Peterson

thinking about vampiric arakawas again just so i can make a 'blood-sucking politician' joke

[hexjulia]

can anyone recommend a good book about drilling for oil and gas in the north sea? I saw a few but I have limited time and i'm trying to just pick a good one. I would just like to be more informed about both the politics surrounding it + how they actually do that.

I will say this, the more I learned about Joe Biden, the more I realize just how much power "looking nice/not racist" has on liberals. Because that man's entire political schtick has essentially been 1) surround himself by token, status quo POC (usually Black people) to make himself seem more centered and open, just to 2) turn his back on/actively sabotage those constituents and/or people.

And it keeps working, or at least kept working, until now! "I can't believe he would allow this" it's like a liberal politician right of passage atp, to step on the people of color you swore you'd help to keep your own power secure. It's not surprising at all. I guess it's just interesting that the quiet part is finally happening out loud, and that we're unfortunately seeing just how far that will carry you.

When i tell you i haunt the anon collection religiously, shit like this is why. Muppet slash and politicians i know nothing about fucking each other??

I once read a fic about Nancy Pelosi and her husband getting high on pot brownies. I follow a non-fandom m/f vampire fic where a chronically ill guy went into the woods to find a vampire and they just GET each other. I have read the most mind-twistingly fucked up porn that low-key haunts me. Yesterday i read a second person, y/n coded 1d fic that was actually goddamn brilliant (it's here, actually).

Maybe the best thing is that there's constantly something new there, so if you refresh the main page multiple times a day you'll see so much weird shit, god fucking bless.

Anyway, go visit the anon collection today. Read a random ass fic that sounds weird or hot or funny or whatever and leave a nice comment on it. Makes ya feel better.

I am finally watching season 5 lmfao. I didn't want to because the first half is boring to me. I really don't care about class B. I only care about a handful of the class A kids and Shinsou is cool, he's part of 1A to me since i started watching the series. Anyway, reading the class 1A vs class 1B battles is a different experience from watching them animated. It should be more exciting because it's in motion, but I think because I read the chapters wayyy back in like ??? 2019, after season 5 hit 2 years later, I was like okay. My best friend had to SIT ME DOWN to watch the first 7 episodes because I couldn't commit to the series. So now I have committed myself to watch an episode a day and I'm finally on season 5. So I'm watching each episode slowly and I'm enjoying them because they're 24 minutes long and then it's over. The thing I love about this season is the OP, we get Izuku and Shouto having a full conversation while everyone else is just stretching or whatever. Nobody else matters except these 2 angels. No little glances from other characters compare to the full conversation they are having LMFAO. Best thing in that part of the season. I am watching for black whip and Izuku and Shouto talking after the battles. And both their battles. But that's really it. One of the things that bothers me is that none of the recommendation students won their battles. They either lost or ended with a draw (?) I think, which is so stupid because they're supposed to be better than the others yet they don't win. Bullshit. Horikoshi just hates women and doesn't want Shouto to win. Momo and Setsuna should have won. I can handle Mud man losing, he's not my favorite. Like you can't have Shouto hype up Momo and have her LOSE. Horikoshi what's that even about??? What was the POINT? Hype her up to WIN. Prove Shouto's point that she's excellent. And then he has Shouto reaching these insane temperatures ....for his battle to be a draw. WOW. AMAZING. That's so anticlimactic. He could have 3 class 1A groups win in a row, and then have Bakugou lose, that would have been interesting. Humble him more. And then have Izuku win, that was good. No complaints about him. He even got black whip. I'm ignoring everything else that happened in that fight, but black whip was cool (I love that quirk, leave me ALONE). Idc if his favoritism for class 1A would have shown, I wanted my kids to win. They got hyped and did not get rewarded. Don't hype them up then! Or put them in the same team so they can ALL win at the same time IDK. He could have taken so many directions with this arc. I just think it sucks. It's salvaged, in my opinion, by the individual characters and what they bring to the table, Shinsou does a great job, the OP giving me crumbs, Momo, Shouto, and Izuku looking really cool, black whip, and the talk between my favorite boys. I'm not hate watching, I'm honestly watching because I want to know what's going on, since it's been YEARS after I read the manga and also years since I watched the 7 episodes I watched with my bestie before I went to do my master's. I really am interested. I just think the arc, to me, is boring.

idgi, if its this easy to stop bills from passing in the us, why arent more politicians doing this? is she just the only one to care?

Nebraska hasn’t passed a single bill this year because one lawmaker keeps filibustering in protest of an anti-trans bill: ‘I will burn this session to the ground’

Damn. I thought she was just gonna up and make a fuss and her swearing to protect trans kids was a bunch of empty words (again).

But no. She’s one-woman filibustering the entire Nebraska legislature into a complete standstill until they agree to protect the rights of trans kids.

She was 100% serious when she said she’d make it as painful for everyone as it is for trans kids. Gahddamn.

This is why small elections matter. She’s not a country wide senator or president or shit. She’s just a local official representing District 6 in Nebraska.

This is why the “smaller” elections between the presidential elections matter.

I'm holding off on sharing my predictions until she is further into her campaign, but Kamala choosing to skip Netanyahu's speech and instead go to a historically black sorority is very interesting. Obviously intentional, despite the white house declaring it to be "just scheduling conflicts." She's meeting with Netanyahu both with Biden, and alone today, and there's no doubt in my mind that her campaign is fully aware that this will set the precedent for the next 4 months.
