I know it will be hard to forget, but whichever outcome I need everyone to remember, to write down, to talk about what is currently happening. when American schools talk about Martin Luther King Jr. or slaves or women, who was oppressing them and trying to stop their rights, who was hosing them, who was shooting them, who was suppressing their voice is a mysterious "they" and never expanded upon.
Women won the right to vote, black people won the right to humanity, but not easily, the American government and police force did everything to stop them.
They don't teach that. they still don't teach the truths of American settlers. They still don't teach the truth of puritans and why they even came to America.
In however many years, they'll teach of this conflict. A mysterious "they" will have suppressed the riots, arrested brown people, attacked protesting Jews, and provided aid to Israel. as always, America will do it's best to rewrite history to where it was neutral at best. To where the police force wasn't involved, to where they weren't secretly giving Israel billions of dollars or weapons for ethnic cleansing and oil.
Don't let them.
Write. Speak. Anything. Even if it's telling your children or anyone close enough first hand.
Tell them who threatened to arrest you, what news outlets wouldn't report, who's countries' soldiers were killing Palestinians, who's president still calls the state of Israel a "dear friend"
Because if we let them or not, in 10 years schools will erase history.
Don't let them.

wait, you're a lawyer? for real?
I got an associates in stage tech, a double BFA in Graphic Design and 3D Design, and then went to law school on full academic scholarship, booked twelve classes, fell asleep during the Bar Exam three times (but passed with flying colors before the curve), and the motion for my admission to practice (put forward by my brother, also a lawyer), started, "My sister has many issues, but the one before the Court today is that of her admission to the State Bar of Michigan."
And somehow yes, they do let me practice law.

I want your opinion on something. Do you think it's better to try and the the cards of the character you like or skipping some to brench out? Like, say you're a fan of Leona. Should you try to get all of his bday card and stuff or stick to one and get other characters ssr?
personally, as much as I would like every single card...I gotta ration my keys, so I focus on my favorites!
which isn't to say that I only pull for certain characters no matter what! more that I take a good long look at every card that comes out and go "do I really want this one? like...really really want it?" (the answer is usually yes, but -- look, the art in this game is very pretty, okay)
honestly, from a gameplay standpoint, I think it doesn't matter too much whether you focus on pulling for specific characters or not. there are very, very few points where actually having a good mix of characters is important (Those Two Stages in episode 6, where I think you can use retry tickets for the easy mode? and also guest room battles if you care about those) and you'll probably end up with at least one halfway decent card per character just from doing 10-pulls and events. so even if you're only pulling for Leona cards, you'll still end up getting a bajillion other characters as well. follow your heart! chase that grumpy lion bliss! ✨🦁✨

MHIN: speck of evil within the good. mostly normal but something deep inside is very wrong.
LEANDER: radioactive waste DANGER DANGER like brightly colored frogs. you get a taste and it's already too late
SEN: her eyes are GLOWING. like more than kuras's. the glow lags behind. like stuttering through time, the whole 'back from the dead' thing. will-o-the-whisp. what this means.. idk. but i adore her!
AIS: predatory. the split pupil is def the most OUTRIGHT monstrous of all the eyes. but such cute makeup to balance it out <3
KURAS: golden halo. also the tears for repentance. grief and guilt. burdens. holy light. the light. warmth.
ELYON: cold. icy. sapphires. i know he's rich. but metaphorically his gaze just looks so cold.
VERE: pretty. sickly sweet. champagne-colored, like a rose gold iphone. oddly seems the most trustworthy

i'm not blaming anyone because there's literally no way you could know but whenever people say "i'm shocked you aren't already a fan of/aware of this pop culture thing" it always makes me a bit sad because. yeah i guess i probably would have been if i'd been allowed to have interests and casual hobbies that weren't constantly scrutinized and only deemed acceptable if they contributed towards my future academic development as a kid. maybe if i'd been allowed to use a computer or phone without my parents constantly breathing down my neck about what i was using them for and punishing me and further restricting my access to the internet if they caught me seeking out any kind of social or recreational interaction there that wasn't pre-approved and regularly checked to ensure i wasn't saying or doing anything that didn't suit their traditional conservative nuclear family sensibilities (or just, like, having fun in a way they couldn't understand tbh). maybe i would have been able to just like. enjoy things. maybe i would have had friends.

I’m finishing up my first year of clinical supervision and doing my best to exercise the patience needed to remain present in this experience by not wishing I was already at the “finish line.” A year from today I will be gearing up to take my last exam and obtaining the highest licensure within my field. That alone is accomplishment enough, not just the moment when it’s all said and done.
