Clementine von Radics, from “Letter from Anaïs Nin to Clementine von Radics”
Text ID: For women who are tied to the moon, love alone is not enough.
#clementine von radics#miscellanea#i see this quote so often incorrectly cited.#people have confused the name of the poem as being a letter from anaïs nin.#the poem itself is entirely dissimilar to anaïs nin which is silly.#so anyway!#a correction.#i’m not necessarily a fan of the author or this poem in it’s entirety but i do feel bad it’s often attributed to nin.#quote#poetry#america literature#lit

I'll leave you with this thought for the night, gallows-humor though it is: even the lowest-informed, misguided, confused, and sometimes let-us-say-it flatly moronic people in America like to vote and take it for granted that they can meaningfully do so on a regular and expected basis. So if the evil orange and company actually try to make good on this whole no more democracy and/or actual elections thing, I really don't see it working out well for them.
#the national nightmare#the one thing america has going for it is that it is a democracy and always has been#people know the rules and expect to follow them#weak authoritarian or quasi authoritarian or developing countries experimenting with democracy#do not necessarily or at all have this experience and therefore don't have this civilian expectation either#america does#that will help it#anyway i need to sleep and try to figure out how to deal with this shit like the rest of you#i love you and take care of yourselves

"tIkToK iS tRaSh AnYwAyS!" I need you to shut up and look at the bigger picture here. This "ban" was a blatant demonstration of power and political propaganda. As a European, I know we make fun of Americans because they're so blissfully unaware about the real state of their so-called "land of the free" but this is scary shit. Tiktok is just an example for "Look what we can take from you!" We all know what the cheeto criminal is planning. The thing is, this isn't just a US issue. Fascism is on the rise everywhere, and they are trying to do the same shit here, with the US as a blueprint.
#america is built on oppression and the government continues to oppress their people in ways they wouldn't necessarily notice as such#tiktok ban

rhetorical question
do MCU steve and bucky ever get a chance to just be happy together again—
(i just watched Civil War)
cause my man went from shipped out to the army -> captured -> rescued! -> dead. -> brainwashed assassin -> ex-brainwashed now on the run -> found by steve! -> …brainwashed again -> on the run from steve’s new friends who want to murder him due to aforementioned brainwashed assassin activities -> frozen and shipped to wakanda
#help#i still can’t get over how i really thought civil war ends nicely for them#like all i know is infinity war everyone starts dying don’t they#i live in fear :(#bucky barnes#steve rogers#stucky#<- not necessarily romantically tho#i just want them to be happy#captain america#captain america civil war#captain america the winter soldier#captain america the first avenger#catfa#catws#cacw#mcu#marvel

the use of the term USamerican is more or less just an ingroup marker on tumblr not unlike folx of yore. innit has hardly fared better and is used poorly in the same way yall used to be
#note: not by latin americans ofc i know its basically a translation#i dont even disagree with the impulse to differentiate between yanks and other people from the americas#but its a bit unnatural and affected for the english speakers yeah?#i dont even necessarily find these groups of people bad or annoying its just like#clearly principally a way of signaling you're part of the ingroup#well i think innit is more of a weird affectation. its quite odd seeing people use it badly#at least no one has started pretending to be aussie for clout

has anyone else noticed that HL is a fancy boy with his meal choices or is it just me. i think its awesome. i think his lab diet was just like, vitamin slurries and then they made him a celebrity that goes to fancy parties and gets to eat caviar with gold leaf.
anyways, theres gonna be a lot of whining in ch7
also worse ending!HL never finds out that the deep is still alive so maybe in a way. he is better off than bad ending!HL. if you think about it.
#he knows what a churrascaria is. hes throwing fancy seafood dinners for deep. and . he loves burger. god bless america.#i dont think he necessarily eats a lot but with his sense of smell he probably also has a sensitive tongue#and probably only likes High Quality Food with like. cleanest taste.#YOU KNOW???? and milk of course.

“Why’s he call you Darlin’?”
on my knees begging my brain to stop trying to associate this song with Sam
#(it’s too late guys i’ve already added it to a couple playlists. i can’t help it)#redacted audio#redacted asmr#redacted sam#redacted darlin#rp audio stuff#Seven’s Blorbo Songs#music stuff#i fell down a rabbit hole of music videos on YT last night and decided to give this song a chance based on the title obviously#skipped through all the exposition just to quickly find out if i liked the song or not#and as soon as the first line came in i went head-in-hands at my desk bc i just Knew it was over for me#i hate that i like it#it’s very repetitive and giving strong Modern/Mainstream Pop-Rap-Country vibes#but i’m not too proud to admit that i eat that shit up on occasion#‘You’ve been beatin’ ‘round the bush so much you’re knockin’ off the leaves.’ goes kinda hard tho i’m ngl#‘ole boy in a Ridgeline and i drive a Chevy’ would Sam be a truck elitist? hmm#i doubt it. i see him as too practical-minded to care about brand names and shit like that#like irl i think it’s very silly. and perhaps a little questionable to hate on a ‘foreign’ vehicle. but i don’t even like trucks at all so#insecure country boys and their obsession with big trucks are ruining the road for us regular people that just want a normal ass car#but i’ll stop before i go off on a rant about america’s transportation problems#anyways. i can separate reality from fiction and i love the image of Sam in a beat up beloved old truck. cliché as it may be#getting back on track. my POINT was that the song doesn’t even necessarily fit Sam’s vibes i just. can’t undo the association#been trying to think of a way for it to fit him but that would require Darlin’ to be cheating on him and i don’t like that thought#like i love some types of angst but cheating isn’t one of them#i could view it through the context of being directed at Alexis bc i already hate her lmao but once again it doesn’t fit in canon#and i don’t know how i feel about the thought that he used to call her Darlin’ too. though it’s very possible. mmm angst#not that it has to fit with canon for me to attach a song to a character. certainly not! but i need to make it work in my mind Somehow#and i can’t even come up with a good HC to make this fit. the idea of Jealous!Sam is fun in theory but idk if i’d like it practice anyways#tldr: does this really fit canon Sam? meh. Is it forever tied to him in my mind anyways due to the use of the petname Darlin’? absolutely.#anywho. one of these days i’ll open this app to do something other than vent post or yap abt rp audio blorbos. but that day is not today!

“The Moon Warrior,” Marvel 85th Anniversary Special (Vol. 1/2024), #1.
Writer and artist: Yuji Kaku; Special thanks to Ken Kunito
#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 85th Anniversary Special#Moon Knight comics#latest release#Tsukikage#Namor#Namor McKenzie#Bucky Barnes#Captain America#Steve Rogers#Human Torch#Jim Hammond#(or at least I’m pretty sure that’s Jim and not Toro)#but THE INVADERS!!! Let’s goooo!#my excitement at seeing the Invaders almost distracts me from how I am being /viscerally/ reminded that Hell’s Paradise was horror#but what a way to end this#with irreconcilable differences fueled not necessarily from irreconcilable political differences#but just an inability to communicate#not only from the language barrier but ingrained ideas about who the ��enemy» is#(as well as the first plan of action for these types being to attack before realizing there might be a mental health component at play)#but anyway wow#wouldn't surprise me if there ended up being a push to censor this issue in China and/or Korea

The innies being partially responsible for the rooms that are torturing Gemma and having no idea that there is a personal hell that’s even worse than what they’re experiencing…the way people in corporate America will work soul sucking jobs and just try to turn their brains off to get through the day and “make a living” and are unaware/choose not to think about whose lives they are effecting with their actions. when you have no other choice but to become desensitized and see people as numbers because you think you have no power in the situation…and whether that’s actually true or not. The fact that Lumon is some pharmaceutical/biotech mega corp. wowie.
#severance#obviously innies have less agency than like your avg everyday office worker but do u kinda see what I’m getting at#like living in America they try to normalize working in the war factory to make war and you’re like well. I guess that’s what I need to do#to live my life#and sometimes it’s obvious sometimes you’re like#why is Kellogg’s involved in overseas weapons trading whats going on with that#my point is don’t work at the war factory to make war#also not what I necessarily think they’re going for but it’s what EYE see

another thing that i just noticed is that the dwarves have now had done to them by the elves what we’d thought the elves had done to them by humans, at least before inquisition. cut down in their peak and permanently ruined, left to scrabble for the broken pieces of their history
not to say it’s an inherently bad choice because oppression isn’t that straightforward, but it sure was an interesting choice to shift the “they destroyed our way of life and fractured our society and we ARE allowing ourselves to feel angry about it and reclaim our history and maybe use that to rebuild what we once had” narrative from the elves to the dwarves. like if that’s the story you really wanted to tell, you could have also given it to like. bellara
#the fall of the titans feels very similar to what we had originally thought the sacking of arlathan was#so there may be more there to uncover. and i dont lnow that i trust them like that again lmao#and it feels especially. i dont want to say insidious but tone deaf at the very least#to shift that from elves (long history of racial coding and marginalization in this series) to dwarves (much less of that)#AND it being told from harding’s POV when she’s not really part of any dwarven society and never has been#feels very much like. white person whose family has been in north america for a few generations reading about european traditions and#trying to incorporate them into their life. anger over how their ancestors were coerced into abandoning their culture to be considered white#so youre left with nothing and are trying to reclaim That. listen it’s also a valid desire i guess but very telling that youre choosing#to tell this story while actively destroying the chance to tell the other kind of story#and also there’s something about how culture doesnt exist in a vacuum#i know some europeans accuse americans of cosplaying their culture and while on one hand that might just be refusal to acknowledge that#culture isnt a monolith and might evolve differently somewhere else. there is a bit of truth to it imo#anyway what im saying is this is absolutely what underground dwarves think of harding#we dont know enough about stalgard#kinda got the impression he was just a guy who lived there rather than part of kal sharok’s government or shaperate#he’s one guy and his opinion doesnt reflect kal sharok. i dont think orzammar is necessarily wrong for not cooperating#they are famously a very closed society and also this is someone from outside that trying to instruct them on their shit#same as when solas tried to ‘’’reason’’’ with the dalish#mine#datv spoilers
