you know, I complain a lot about my union because forming a coalition and building solidarity means you will disagree and navigate a lot of conflict, but I will say that it's also some of the most rewarding and important work I've ever done.
#tbd#union tag#yesterday i ended up confronting management--like executive suite level--about the transphobia in the agency#and it didn't go well. unsurprising.#and i got a little direct! i always advocate for pushing in a kind and professional manner but this time (:#this time I pushed harder and I told them why and how unacceptable this was#and got no where except for the head of HR looking upset that I was pushing him to take action#anyway i don't feel like we got anywhere other than putting them on notice (which sometimes IS critical to work getting done)#but we caucused after that convo and my union mates went from 0 to 60 on workshopping how to support me#and other trans colleagues in my department#like i was so warmed and surprised to see how everyone showed up for us#even though sometimes we butt heads and have significant disagreements#that's solidarity. that's the work.#and then in our union meeting someone announced a name change and everyone was like 'cool' and started using it immediately#action matters so much more over empty words#and i do see my job--my position--as someone to push (and be pushed) for action over empty words#and sometimes it takes over a year for that action to happen but when it does? indescribable#it is clear that executive level management will not budge on this unless we continue to show up#and we will.#people don't inspire change. a network of relationships--a give and take--lead to change. change comes from action#building that relationship sometimes IS the most effective action you can take#when we talk about building community we are talking about the action. the actions of care & time & listening & connecting#assembling everything you know & all you can do to figure out how to make this moment & this place & this life better#it's not about paying dues it's not about striking it's about showing up sitting down listening and forming a plan of action.#anyway#currently#transphobia tw

I’m not going to lie I’m like really stuck and don’t know what to do with my feelings about All Of This. I dont have therapy until next week and they don’t have space to move me up and I dont really have anyone else to talk through how I feel ? I dont know what to do.
#like I live in my dads house. and he voted against me.#I didn’t speak to him at all yesterday because I just can’t look at him#I knew he was gonna vote that way but it didn’t seem real until it was already too late#and like my mom says he doesn’t have bad intentions but I don’t know how I’m supposed to know that ???#like he knew what voting for that entailed and he still did it anyways regardless of what his actual reasons were#and it makes me even MORE sick because I know that like 90% of my family voted that way too. how am I supposed to do holidays ?#and it makes me sick EVEN MORE because my best friend and my sister didn’t vote but if they had they would have voted that way too#so I genuinely have nobody to speak to about this but my mom and she does not want to hear me shit talk my dad#like I live in a state that’s almost definitely going to remain safe for me#but it’s hard to know that they look at me and claim they love me and then turn and look at people just like me and vote for their demise#like do they really love me ? do they really see me as a person ?#I know the call to action is to condemn their supporters but how do you do that when you’re entire support network is made up of people who#wouldn’t care if you lived or died if you weren’t related to them ?#what do you do if you live in your conservative dad’s house and there is literally nowhere to run because you can’t even afford to get a#shit apartment ?#what do you do when you’re just as alone with these people as you are without ?#vent post

i'm just saying there comes a point at which you have to think long and hard about the situation(s) you have found yourself in. the reason why you think i'm the common denominator across all of your failed relationships is because you are still obsessed with using me as a scapegoat for all your problems despite having zero evidence to suggest it's true, and because it's easier than admitting you have not changed in the past two years. perhaps you should look at yourself and your own actions
#the irony is that everything you've accused me of is literally a projection of your own actions#i stopped thinking or talking about you the second we amicably ended our friendship despite your inability to respect boundaries#but you're so angry i drew a line that you're STILL obsessing over me 2 years later? going around my back & making up stories?#being bitter & spiteful about me to other ppl? trying to get random strangers online to hate me?#& you have the gall to say I'M the one whisper networking. lmao.#truly idc if you want to be angry at me but i think you should understand that if you want to spend your life bitter about me to everyone#to the point you push them away & piss them off with the same shit you did to me. they are inevitably going to question whether what#you said about me is true. then they're gonna ask me for themselves & it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy that YOU created#& i don't have to make up a fantasy version of you to justify being mad at you. i just need to tell the truth

I like how my favorite rpg romance experiences I've had are ones where it doesn't work out mid-game or post-game tbh.
#idk what it says about me it's not a rule....#but realistically like. you have a protagonist in this game. and these are highly charged scenarios where people are meeting. and yes likely#connecting deeper than they ever would otherwise--#but also typically at the end of that game... theyre losing that scenario... they're losing the everyday immediacy of whatever social#network or resources...#is your protagonist able to just move on and disconnect from that role... from that purpose?#if they cant... does their partner want to move on and live a life together... can your protagonist accept living a life#when potentially the consequences of their actions or when Something May Return?#If they can settle down at the end of their journey#are they the same person who romanced that partner? are they still compatible? Will that lack of immediate shared purpose make the#connection fizzle out without a common motivator at the level of Save The World or whatever?#And even if your retired protagonist is Actually Retiring and accepting the end of that role or purpose...#is their partner settling down? anyway.#i love my initial failed Lae romance playthrough of devastation with Fe aha#and i also loved my failed Josie romance. in both iterations of that character#anD i love my fucked up failed Liara romance especially with my main Shep.#having connections fizzle out or conflict you cant resolve through communication within the confines of the game is interesting#anyway. thanks for enduring my tag rant 💜#like some of my characters are happy ever after sure... but its more interesting and cathartic to have breakups and failure to communicate#idk about everyone. but for instance the fact that the Josie romance hinges on a public declaration of love... are you telling me every#person who romanced Josie handled that naturally?? couldn't be my OC who overthinks and thought it was circumstantially inappropriate

This is the Cartoon Network Slate for the 2020s it is practically the 2010s.
And as much as I love these cartoons and they made my childhood but they already exist. And I'm not even talking from all remakes or pick ups are bad standpoint but it is objectively terrible that not a single completely new IP was announced. And it's not just cartoon network look at the recent D23 only one completely new story that isn't a live-action or sequel.
New stories, especially animated stories, aren't getting the chance to be told anymore and that's really fucking sad
I fucking love gumball but I am tired of being milked for my nostalgia
#and when we do get something new they get their feet cut out from under them if they don't immediately get a massive following.#the state of animation and media in general is a little dire#and this isnt me hating on the creators or the staff on these shows they are as much a victim of the execs as we are#god I'm sorry for he rant I'm just tired as someone who wants to go into he media industry it feels so discouraging#I used to be on the side of give remakes and live actions a chance but at this point I'm sick of it#they spend all their time and attention on old IP's give nothing to new one and use it as validation when they fail#The state of the media industry today is in such disrepair and I'm tired#cartoon nostalgia#cartoon fandoms#cartoon#cartoon news#cartoon network#animation#cartoon fandom#cartoon characters#my thoughts#thoughts to the void#god i'm so tired#film#film and television#film and tv

Remember the days when we had a studio and TV channel dedicated to animation? And no matter what other channels were doing, the cartoon channel always had animation? Wasn’t that nice?
#not me thinking:#gee someone needs to make a dedicated studio to animation so that they can’t cancel the animated projects in favor of live action#then me remembering that’s what Cartoon Network was#rip Cartoon Network#cartoon network#animation#animation industry#animation industry discourse

#yammers#yeah sorry time for a tag post bc I gotta put this somewhere but. quietly#I get so few days where I don't wonder what the fuck I'm even doing here#and that wondering gets ramped up by the fact that there just. isn't anywhere else for me to be#bc I'm always gonna be far away from someone now#my home country is a dangerous shithole where I'm uninsured and jobless#(where I could raise my hire-ability by.... shelling out money I don't have to move away from family and friends#to get closer to where the action is. except it Barely is bc animation is in a freefall)#in my new country I can barely communicate with anyone and my job prospects are so up in the air#that I have to waste my day doing the most demoralizing ugly work I've ever done for a job I don't want#because my visa requires that the country deem my presence PROFITABLE!!!#and I'm burned out to hell and back from running paperwork last year to move here#and it never stopped. it never ever ever stops. I am never ever EVER doing enough#practice french. more. more. MORE. learn this program. learn that program. test for this. apply to that. never hear back. get rejected.#go do paperwork again. figure out your taxes#WRONG. do it again. go get groceries. do the dishes again. put the laundry away again.#there's no space for your stuff. you barely have any stuff because you had to get rid of it all.#do something you don't want to do. again. again. smile! have fun! be charming! connect! network! stay longer!#I just want to curl up in a ball and disappear for a month or two#let me summer hibernate#it's so fucking hot here anyway I'd prefer a cave#negative /)/-)&$

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome has been known about since the 20th century (possible earlier though under different names or descriptions, documentation and research).
This headline and story is merely confirmation scientists, medical professionals and larger society is beginning to accept and acknowledge it. Or shifting towards acceptance and acknowledgement. The sharp and growing wave of covid long haulers world wide likely may be a major contributing factor.
It has been stated by some ME sufferers that CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) has damaging history and has been used to invalidate and medically gaslight. The acronym used by members in the community varies, it is important to mention and recognize this that said.
"Like many other neurological diseases, up to 80% of cases of ME/CFS are initiated by infection. Several preliminary studies are now showing that nearly half of people with Long COVID have ME/CFS." - ME Action Network

Peter Wyngarde guest stars as Dr. John Hallam, eminent physician - but also criminal mastermind - in The Champions: The Invisible Man (1.2, ITC, 1968)
#fave spotting#peter wyngarde#jason king#the champions#the invisible man#itc#1968#what's that? no‚ no‚ don't worry#I'm not rewatching the champions... yet...#one of my... shall we say less prudent purchases of recent months was getting my hands on a cheap copy of Network's retro action set#basically a sampler of single itc episodes in shiny HD; the intent was to attract customers to their burgeoning blu ray upgrades of#various itc serials. imprudent bc of course I've seen most of these episodes; i own a lot of them on dvd in fact (and cough some on blu ray#so yes not a wise investment perhaps... but with network gone (forever in our hearts) and their blu ray range finished (with little#chance of any other label picking up the mantle) this was my only chance to see certain things in brilliant high def... maybe highest on#the list was The Champions‚ a series I've always had an inordinate fondness for. it seems unlikely anyone will give it a blu ray release#so here it is‚ the one and only hd ep. sigh. part of me wished they'd gone for another ep tbh; this has never been a favourite‚ with#Richard and Sharron sidelined for most of the episode and a strangely underwhelming ending (the villains just sort of crash their vehicle#through no fault of the champions). but... it does look beautiful... and finally we can appreciate Peter's wonderful wardrobe as it always#deserved to be seen! he's always dressed in such a particular way that I'm half convinced he provided his own clothes for tv work#here he's... well im fairly certain he gets referred to as Dr but he seems more likely to be a surgeon‚ performing sinister operations on#unwitting stooges. his coconspirator is the lovely James Culliford‚ who like Wyngarde was a relatively out gay actor within the biz#i must admit it lends the episode an even deeper frisson of camp knowing the two actors were gay; Hallam and friend Charles do seem#and it makes the line 'Charles‚ use the vibrator!' utterly risible#still it's good fun. oh! and i finally got to see Tremayne's desk in hd! i always knew he had a bundle of crayons in a jar (a bizarre bit#of set dressing that was presumably an afterthought nobody was expected to see); what i didn't know and shiny blu ray revealed was that the#crayons are sitting on top of a bundle of marbles at the bottom of the jar... Tremayne what are you doing with your office time?#eta: half a tag got eaten‚ i meant to say Hallam and Charles seem remarkably close...

never been busier organising literally I'd say 85% of days this month have been events, actions, or planning for them and without that level of work I think I'd be going fully insane watching the news, but my fuck my brain is straight up pudding
#i feel like the revolutionary side of me is firing on all cylinders#but uhhhhhh everything else is a bit of a shambles#which look whatever this is a crisis moment and the work needs to be done#building networks of action for pressuring industrial action against complicit Irish companies & services#and the *response* holy shit seeing the pieces fall into place for people#when you talk about the Belgian transportation unions striking against the war machine#bring up the history of Dunnes workers striking against apartheid South Africa#people's eyes light up like fuck yeah that makes sense#the protests are getting dire - just endless recountings of the horror#yes we mourn the dead but we fight like hell for the living#and the fight is not gonna be a graveyard of protests and vigils#we have to shut it down

Hey there! @aaghht here! I made this blog as a fan of Team TO's Jade Armor because I think it's one of the best teen-action cartoons with an asian lead to come out in a while :) Because the show aired it's final episodes here during the summer, and I finally got to see all of them this august, I've now had time to browse what's online about the show without getting spoiled.
I'll be posting character profiles and other stuff I've seen and noticed from official channels here!
I'll also be adding my sibling @anshiel here since I managed to get her to watch it too and now we have watched all of it thru together. Fun show!!! Keep your eyes open on the official instagrams with the hope of more to come ;D
#jade armor#fanblog#Team TO#cartoon#Super RTL#HBO#HBO Max#France Télévisions#french cartoon#cartoon network#I'm just tagging all of this bc it's an interesting collab to me#action cartoon#thank u for the gifmaking @neopuff!!!

I want to know if you have discord. That is what i am telling you.
Hah omg this is so funny cause a few days ago I also got a non-anon message also asking me if I had a Discord! 7 years I’ve been here and only suddenly now in the space of a week I get two Discord requests it’s wild. When I first made this blog I wanted so badly to be popular here and I didn’t manage it despite being in the thick of the Super the Who AND the Lock. And now that I don’t care anymore I’m as popular as I figure it’s physically possible for someone with my personality to be. THAT is Charles’ power. His impact!
Anyways I didn’t have a Discord but now I do, because you asked! ^_^ The only problem is Idk how to use Discord at all :( Like I’m not even sure if your Discord username is something that’s smart to give out publicly? But I will share it now with you anyways because you look very polite. My Discord username is apparently CEWIII#5581. So if ANYONE among my mutuals and followers wants to follow/add/whatever you do to people on Discord to me, PLEASE do so omg. You want to add me on Discord....... You want to add me on Discord so bad....... Yes......... Yesss........... Come closer...........
(Also just as a disclaimer, sorry in advance for any awkwardness @anyone who interacts with me there because I'm new the the platform and also because I'm really bad at and unfamiliar with socializing. When I do talk to other people it's via email where it's normal to take a while to respond. Tumblr DMs is the only IM I've ever used and my Messaging there is not exactly Instant haha.)
Also if anyone has any tips for using Discord and servers and stuff (the same way we sometimes pass around tips for new Tumblr users on here) pls. let me know. before I accidentally @ every user in the entire thing somehow lmao.
#Starky loves Anons#Starky loves answering questions#everyone come tell me what servers to join!! there doesn't seem to be a way to browse around for them or anything so I'm kinda Lost.gif#also fr everyone add me on there in case tumblr explodes tomorrow randomly or sth. it'll be our emergency ham radio network.#damn this post really has me talking like someone who communicates with others on the regular. one has to laugh. but still do it anyways.#I heard there was a tumblr mash fandom server which was almost enough to make a discord on its own#but then the next thing I heard about that server was that it was kinda mean & unwelcoming. and I was like ah. yeah that's mashblr alright.#but maybe there's more than one mashblr server?? anyways invite me to all of them so I can lurk and study everyone there like bugs#and NEVER actually talk <3 amen <3#THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION BTW ANON!!!#how to make me perform a simple action that other people can do any time entirely via their own everyday willpower:#get two (2) separate people to specifically request me to do it and then still wait 1-2 weeks for me to respond
