🔻UPDATES🔻

Great news, you get an extra day to buy the zine. Bad news, you only have one day left before it’s gone forever. So get it before it vanishes (like Ford did for 30 years)

The zine shop closes on October 1st, 11:59 PM!

Here’s a link!

In reply to the original submitter : I'd looked and no, the cabbage man didn't have a name when you submitted him. However, I had another look just in case recently... and it looks like he's going to be known as Cai in the children book focused on him that should go out this Summer. According to the wiki, "if he shares the same last name as his son Lau Gan-Lan, That would make his name "Cai Gan-Lan", a play on "gan-lan cai", the name of a vegetable dish."

Here was the original propaganda : "he is a cultural icon and you know him even if you haven't seen atla just through the power of internet osmosis (me im the example)"

Yuri's a word used to describe manga/anime centred around WLW romance

White lilies are a symbol of the genre

Original propaganda for yuri : "Yuri means Lily. Wouldn't it be so funny ?"

Disability pride... year?

This year when my contract came up for renewal at work, I went to my boss and asked for something I wanted- a thoroughly reasonable accommodation, so reasonable they'd already offered it to me this last year, and I was just asking to make it official for next year. I asked for all my vacation and personal days to be used as sick days.

The difference is that I don't have to give any warning before I use sick days- vacation and personal days they want a week or more's notice. A sick day can be taken whenever you need it, with as much notice as you can give (even if that's only 10 minutes).

This seems small- asking for what I've already been given. But it's the first time I've ever asked an employer for ANYTHING related to my disability.

Usually I bend over backwards to make myself less-inconvenient, less-bothersome, less-visible. I don't want to remind people that I'm disabled, lest they decide they don't want to deal with me and my disability anymore.

And I got it! My boss said of course, in fact this works great for us, we're happy to have you! The thing that was scary for me was no big deal to her.

So... may this be the year that you get a chance to self-advocate, and may your wishes, whether large or small, also be granted.

Grogu wondered if riding a bantha was something the Mandalorian knew how to do before or after he’d met Kuiil and learned to ride a blurrg? They were very different critters and riding them seemed different too. 

It was clear when they met the Tuskens that the Mandalorian had met some of them before. Not the exact individuals, but the people. After all he knew how to speak and sign their language. Given that Din still hadn’t figured out that ‘coo’ meant ‘food’ and ‘cooo’ meant ‘I need to use the privy’, Grogu was pretty surprised at that. 

But then, maybe he shouldn’t have been surprised. The Mandalorian had his whole life before meeting Grogu to learn things. He’d learned how to fly space craft, use weapons, and how to eat with a helmet on. Grogu only saw a direct use for one of those skill sets and he didn’t think Din was going to let him fly the N-1 any time soon. 

To be fair, Grogu had a whole life time of learning before he met the Mandalorian. He’d learned how to use the Force, how to interact with all sorts of people, mechs, droids, and critters. Not all of those interactions had been great or worthy, but he’d learned something from each and everyone of them. 

What he learned from Peli is that it was okay to take care of someone you’d just met. Whatever had happened to them to bring them to her, she treated them well until they forced her to reconsider her kind hearted ways. As long as Grogu had known her she hadn’t had to reconsider, but he was pretty sure she hadn’t liked how that Calican kid had turned out. 

What he learned from Greef Karga was that it was never too late to mend a friendship or start one. Greef had depended on the Mandalorian to be the best bounty hunter in the outer rim. Grogu was pretty sure that Din Djarin was just the best bounty hunter. When the Imp remnant and the Client convinced him to try and trap the Mandalorian, Greef had learned that it was better to have a Mandalorian as a friend than an enemy. It was also better to have Grogu as a friend, although Grogu’s Jedi training would never have let him just walk away from the man when he’d been so injured. 

Grogu had learned that Jedi still gave everyone bad advice about relationships. Being attached was never the problem. Not admitting how the attachment affected your decisions and actions was the problem. Grogu knew that when he was taking a risk it was for the greater good. Particularly if that greater good was Din Djarin. Din had given Grogu back his life and freedom and was even allowing him to have the joy of a family. A tiny clan of two. Nothing was better than that for a person who had grown up being told they had no family and wouldn’t be getting one because the Jedi didn’t believe in that. 

Grogu wondered what he would learn next? Would he and the Mandalorian just hunker down on Tatooine and relax a little, or would they travel the galaxy looking for adventure, and maybe the occasional frog? Only time would tell and he looked forward to learning what the future had in store for both of them.

bsd season 4 but actually its a reality show format

[northern-passage]

we go through this every hurricane season but the way people will find any excuse to point the finger at the victims of natural disasters and say cruel shit like "fuck around and find out" like it's not horrifying having to leave behind your home and all your belongings and potentially your pets with the full knowledge that there might not be anything to come back to after... ignoring that there are people that don't have a car or the money to evacuate, ignoring disabled people who have no way to get out, ignoring people that can't find places for their pets to shelter, ignoring people that have medical equipment that can't be moved or replaced, etc... and even if someone stays behind solely because they want to, they still don't deserve to suffer.

as someone who worked extensively in disaster response previously, it is not easy to "just" evacuate, and the relief that comes afterwards is intentionally difficult to obtain. and already the forces that be are trying to spin this narrative that the victims are at fault, to put the blame on them so that if (probably when) people are forced to resort to looting (because the aid never comes) everyone will nod and agree that they're all bad people and deserved it... rather than acknowledging the fact that there was no attempt to make the evacuation accessible and safe for everyone, no guarantee that aid will be waiting for them when they return to a home that has been swept away... no empathy for the fact that these people's entire lives are potentially destroyed with no safety net to catch them.
