on page 17 of sunrise on the reaping, haymitch says "traditionally, the twelve-year-olds gather in the front and the kids get older until you reach the eighteen-year-olds in the back" while on page 16 of the hunger games, katniss says "twelve- through eighteen-year-olds are herded into roped areas marked off by ages, the oldest in the front, the young ones, like prim, in the back"

and it just makes you wonder why they would change that, make such strict distinctions between the ages, push the older children to the front - is it to better monitor them? in the event that an older child runs, it's easier to stop them if they're near the front? it probably seems irrelevant, but why would collins change that?

ok so i made a greeku (cretan version) didn’t want to spend a ton of time on this but i think it’s cute :) used a traditional dress that i’ve worn and am most familiar with and while they’re often red they can also be blue or even purple or white for brides. in the left hand corner is my little island (it’s actually kind of big) :)

Every time I hear the news anchors saying Brian Thompson left behind a wife and teenage children, it fills me with rage.

How many parents did his and his company’s actions rip away from THEIR children? How many children did their actions rip away from THEIR parents? How many people did he and United Healthcare fuck over without remorse, all in the name of profits?

Medical professionals and political figures and citizens alike all TOLD YOU that you were wrong, and yet you stubbornly persisted? All in the name of greed?

This is why nobody is mourning him. This is why the country is mocking and celebrating his death. This is why people are making other CEOs publicly known. People get screwed over by healthcare insurance companies every DAY and not one of those corrupt bigwigs bats an eye or feels any modicum of guilt. The people have had enough. You all should’ve known this would happen someday. In an age of unprecedented gun violence and civil unrest, this is what you asked for.

so, as i said before FUCK boudicca philtrum in particular. no one will mourn you, you crusty ho.

but also k getting majorly injured and the first thing out of their mouth is telling lemli that they have to lie and tell evan that they're fine. broken ribs, flat on their back, blood coming out of their mouth, knowing what evan will do and k trying to stop a thing that has already happened in the time it took for them to land.

did k ever see evan kill anybody while they were together? i know we're down with murder because fantasy but also, we all agree it's not great for evan's mental health to do a murder, right? and i really don't agree that it's love for k motivating him to kill because k doesn't want that for him. evan killed philtrum because philtrum needed killing and he has assigned himself that role. he would have taken her out, potentially nonlethally, as soon as they saw her if it weren't for their directive from dr. boodle. i think k is entirely incidental to his motivation, tbh. he goes cold when he goes into his shadow. i don't think what he's feeling in that space is anything that i (or bell hooks) would call a love ethic.

AROUGHHH what having [redacted] is like.

I was very nice and sweet I did not say anything and removed myself from the situation before I got very mean <3

Just uh wanted to post this panel of the United State’s favorite marvel super hero, whose political stance has not changed since the 1940s.

Just thought I’d share a reminder of him. This had absolutely nothing to do with the current political climate and a public leader that would definitely get punched by this man.

Eric Hananoki at MMFA:

Former President Donald Trump used his Truth Social account to “retruth” a supporter’s meme calling for the imprisonment of Vice President Kamala Harris, President Joe Biden, and other prominent figures. A review of that supporter's account also found numerous calls for Trump’s political opponents to be killed.

This isn’t an aberration. Media Matters recently documented that Trump promoted an account which spews the N-word, praises Hitler as a hero, and denies the Holocaust. Trump has also frequently interacted with the account Patriot4Life, including this month. That account has repeatedly promoted calls for political killings, including recently retruthing an image calling for Harris and Gov. Tim Walz to be killed.  Trump has promoted another Truth Social account that calls for Democrats to be executed. [...] The Trump-promoted “Proud American” account (“Proud_American1776”) has repeatedly posted calls to kill Trump’s opponents. 

Donald Trump continues to give promotion to Truth Social accounts that contain posts with calls to kill Trump’s opponents.

A president who has incited violence inspires citizens towards hate and violence.

Tennis: inciting violence since 1774

History Geek note: what looks like an 'f" in place of an 's' is actually called a "long s" and is written either with no crossbar or only on the left side. It's derived from the old Roman cursive 's' which looked like this:

It started disappearing from common use right about the time William Buchan wrote his praise for the non-violent game of golf. To read this with a modern 's' click on the Alt-Text option.

Please Read!

Attention all operators: in an effort to showcase all staff functions on Rhodes Island, the HR office has generously shared the process by which operator code names are accepted based on three major guidelines:

1. A code name is not duplicative of a code name already issued

2. A code name is not a vulgarity or profanity including a swear or curse word, or scatological term, not usually displayed in the community for general viewing.

3. A codename is not obscene or otherwise contains material of sexual suggestiveness in that it refers explicitly or by euphemism to a sexual body part, a sex act, or the availability for sex

Inspired by @ca-dmv-bot, y’all liked that post enough for me to make a whole blog for it!

(I’m not actually a bot though I’m a real human person.)

You can submit canonical or fanmade operator names- If it’s a fanmade name, hit us with some background! If your operator is a canon character, you can either submit the name by itself or you can write the reasoning in character too. Our lovely HR representative will fill in the rest.

Ground rules:

No real-life slurs (unless you’re like, one of two operators who exist in this game) (in which case, you know who you are and localization should change your name)

Maximum of five different operators per ask

Since these are forms the characters are filling out, soft character limit of ~50 for each explanation. I’ll hold myself to this as well.

If you do not want to be used in a fic, drawn, etc. add an “X” at the end of the ask. I will also tag it accordingly.

Might add more as we go along- I’ve never run an in-character blog before so we’ll see how this goes.
