I love how you can purposely cater you internet experience to block most politics so you can mentally detox since your media consumption was becoming unhealthy, and still have a whole week of attempting to regain your hope in humanity become completely undone by wanting to eat lunch with your mom (ramble in tags, feel free to ignore; take care of yourselves first <3)

#politics #us politics #tags so people can block this post #it's just so cool and awesome that things work like that #i was genuinely doing so much better #i was engaging with news in a healthier way #i was fixing my focus on what to do moving forward #but then i had the audacity to want to eat lunch with my mother instead of holing up in my room #she turned on fox news and i tuned it out... talking about stuff with them always turns into debates and its mentality exhausting #so i generally just keep my mouth shut unless asked #but then she started commenting on the news out loud #and so being a personable person i did my best to respond #they were talking about mass deportation of ''illegal criminals'' and she asked out loud why they havent sent them away already #so i said “oh well its expensive and there's not always places that are willing to take them”... left my opinion on the sentiment out of it #that was the WRONG thing to say apparently #devolved into a debate where she ultimately said “ok but it was a rhetorical question and i didnt actually want an answer”#how was i supposed to know that????? im the only person in the room??? thats not what rhetorical questions are used for??????#so we moved on from the topic #she said something along the lines of “pff and people come in illegally and still want to seek asylum”#so again i speak up #told her (with a quick google search to back it up) that people can either apply for asylum at the border or after entering illegally #as long as its within a year of entering #that was ALSO THE WRONG THING TO SAY #she reiterated that she still wasn't asking and added “im just watching the news; i dont want to google anything”#and im like...#...one; she mentioned in her “thinking out loud” rambles that she's aware that i dont like to talk about this stuff with her #but that this stuff is important to talk about... which i took as a “why won't you talk with me?”#so ouch #but also... whY ARE YOU WATCHING THE NEWS IF YOU DON'T CARE TO VERIFY ANY OF IT #im out of tags to ramble in but I'm still so hurt and mad and i have been reminded how little people care about compassion and factuality

the thing im enjoying most about learning a new language is learning new cultural context. i never noticed learning this with english probably bc youre already one foot in american pov before you even speak the language what with all the popular media coming from there, but with french i have to dig this knowledge out with my bare hands and it's really fun

like, when i read in a book that the english people at the english train station our english protagonist who just came home after 15 years exile in france is arriving at "were going about their business with their english sense of timing and rhythm", what am i supposed to understand by that? is that like a swiss clock sort of thing (another cultural reference you now realise you have learnt to understand the right way at some point even without knowing anything necessarily about swiss clocks) or more of a doctor who kind of sense of timing? what is the french cultural idea of the british and their sense of punctuality? i dont know yet! i feel like a child!

#if youre french you may answer this #but honestly it's more rhetorical and i'd kinda prefer it if you didnt #i want to find out for myself #assuming it's even an answerable question and not a creative choice or author's peculiarity #which is of course also always an option #learning is fun more at 8 #remember when half the things adults said were words you could understand but you were missing like #all the scaffolding knowledge to interpret them?#it's an exciting feeling. frustrating. but like. promising #one day i will know all this #and then i will learn a new language to feel it all again thats the magic #you can do that for the rest of your life

somebody please explain fanon 3l!flower husbands in a way I’ll understand . What is it that makes people watch it and go “:D!!! Cute!! they are the only alliance who loved kindly till the end!!” and why didn’t they put that in my immediate circle of mutuals and I’s water specifically

#Half rhetorical question. I asked this in the maintag a year ago and got a good few answers but I didnt understand any of them #There may not be a way i fear i may be left dumbfounded forever and ever #bree barks so fucking loud #sorry for literally only talking about fh but they and their wide variety of fandom interpretations fascinate me endlessly

i read 'the gender of mona lisa' and i feel. both extremely seen and yet incredibly infuriated

#the gender of mona lisa #SPOILERS in the tags but uh #the whole premise is that in this world people dont have a defined sex until they turn 12 #and the main character is 18 and hasn't gotten a sex yet #and also their two best friends (one guy one girl) confessed to them at the same time #and it's a really nice story and dialogue where they're conflicted on what they want to be and why can't they just stay the same #and if choosing either one of their friends means they need to adhere to one gender or the other #there's also a caveat where if you don't choose to a sex (by hormone treatments if your body doesn't present as one sex) by age 20 #then 'something bad' will happen i.e: you die #it's thought provoking and sad at times but also very frustrating. i get the author is japanese and this is very much a sort of reflection #on japanese ideals of sex and gender...and a more open reflection at that #considering how there's a lot of questioning on what DEFINES femininity and masculinity #but i dont like how the author makes it out that not choosing it this horrible tragic thing. and that you can be one or the other #but still have interchangeable feminine or masculine traits which is fine!! be a girl with boy interests and vice versa #and also enraging as hell. like ive seen this rhetoric from terfs where theyre like. 'dont be trans!! just be a lil girly or boyish!!'#the one character that was written who DIDNT choose to be one or the other killed themself which was? really really saddening #and also pissed me the hell off!!! this shouldnt be a punishment!!!!!#man..........oh well. i digress. it was an interesting read despite it all

My mom just sent a message to the family group chat suggesting that my siblings download the 'For the Strength of Youth' magazine on their Gospel Library app and talked about how much the youth magazines helped her testimony growing up and like, cool. Fine. Don't know why the 'sending random spiritual thoughts in the gc' thing started out of nowhere when it hadn't been a thing for a decade but this is just another one of those, and you're ofc allowed to talk about things that are significant in your life.

I don't think sending the 'What I Did When Someone Close to Me Challenged My Faith' article right afterwards was strictly necessary though 🙃

#hi bg mutuals 👋 i'm gonna vent about this from time to time. if any mutuals dont want to see it block the 'apostake' tag #trying not to read too much into it b/c I think I did last time something like this happened #and i dont want to make an ass of myself even if neither time would actually be in front of my parents #but like...i know that they know that one of my sisters is clearly PIMO #they went through her phone a couple weeks ago and i have no idea if they read my texts w/ her #but if they did they probably saw the conversation i had with her about some of the really common shelf-breakers #and telling her to take looking into it at her own pace b/c it's scary and overwhelming #(a conversation SHE started btw)#and when i talked to my parents about the larger context of that whole situation i talked about not having space to step back #and their response was that they give plenty of space b/c they dont make her go to seminary???#that's not the same thing as letting her openly question & potentially leave the church idk what to tell you #like. besties i dont know for sure what caused it (which is NOT making things better. it just feels potentially passive aggressive)#but from my end? it sure looks like it might be a reaction to that. probably not JUST that (friends exist) but.#if you think I'm whispering anti-mormon rhetoric into my siblings' ears just ask me. i'm very much NOT doing that #i'm just. talking? to them? when and if they come to me with questions?#and not making my answer 'well there's a reason our parents raised us in the church! ☺️'#(an actual argument given in the article my mom sent)#hate it. thanks #apostake #jay rambles #ok to interact #im not challenging anyone's faith. my patience though? INCREDIBLY challenged #gotta figure out how to work my way around a 'hey please dont send spiritual thoughts to the gc *I'm in*' talk tactfully #they've been pretty chill about me leaving over-all?? at least to my face #haven't pushed me to go to church w/ them; was fine with me not visiting for easter; didnt try to convince me to not drink coffee; etc #it's just. frustrating that they're not giving my siblings that still live with them that same grace #my sister's 17 ffs #it's very possible im way overreacting to the article. but what is tumblr for if not screaming into the void #religion #mormonism

ok really though does my lifelong love for naruto inform how i write my fights. be honest

#speculation nation #discacc shit #dkfljsdlfkj i could do a poll for this but i dont think i will actually #since this is. a rhetorical question.#really i think it's more shounen in general. the malleability of the metaverse informs how i write fights #and as such it ends up having that sort of like. dramatic quality that shounen fights are known for #thinking about that moment where goro sprints up to kick morgana like a football #honestly i kinda have it in my mind that he's like. naruto running lmfao #maybe not outright in his arms hanging behind his back but it certainly isnt an arms pumping kind of run #it's DRAMATIC. shounen! he's running like a Bullet to get there then using that momentum to lay INTO morgana. BOOM #idk what's the point of writing fights if they're not fun ykno?#i mean eventually i will get to write fights outside of the metaverse. at least one. so i will have to play around with realism there #but you didnt hear That minor spoiler from me. lmfao.

Kallus is such a funny character to search for in the fandom sphere bc there's such a wide variety of opinions on him. Half of the fandom seems to either think his arc was the best redemption seen in Star Wars, while the other half is convinced it was the worst writing mankind has ever witnessed.

Personally, I think it was... fine? It's good when keeping in mind that Rebels is a kids cartoon. But it could have been a lot better, if he was in a more adult-oriented series. I'd love to see focus on his shift in loyalties, how it started to form. But I'd also love to see a deep dive on why he was so loyal to the Empire. S1 Kallus seemed far more devoted than the average citizen who joined the Imperial forces to make ends meet. Kallus enjoyed what he did, and I want to know why. Did it make him feel powerful to prey on others? And why did it take being the one preyed on for him to realize the harm he was causing? He has potential for some absolutely amazing stories, given those who utilize him are able to give it the nuance it deserves. It's far too easy to write him off as someone who 'never actually subscribed' to the Empire's beliefs, which makes him sympathetic. But that's lame!!! That's boring! And it's out of character!!! S1 and early S2 Kallus is the same person as S3 and S4 Kallus. His redemption shouldn't forget that. He doesn't have to be forgiven. And I'd love to see a story where he isn't forgiven and he has to deal with it.

#all questions asked in this post are rhetorical #this isn't exactly a kallus crit/ical post so im not tagging it as such #just saw a post that was about kallus and i kinda agreed but had s lot to say #and i didnt wanna co-opt the post bc my stuff was off topic #so ur getting this hehe #its a hard topic in the fandom tho bc while theres not a lot of direct fighting about it...#its still something people seem to be fairly divided about #that and its hard to find kallus posts that dont have a kalluz///eb slant to them #kallus' redemption should not be treated like it was 100% z/ebs doing #you can see the hints in early s2 in how he reacts to certain commands #and i think kallus being the one to come to these comclusions himself is important #bc a lot of it is his fault. he is the oppressor and the villain #and z/eb as a victim of that doesnt have the responsibility to convince kallus he was wrong #overall i just think a more slow climb to the change in loyalties would be nice to see #as well as a less b&w approach to it in the material #the ghost crew forgave him too quickly and his change in demeanor from s3 to s4 was a bit awkward #but thats stuff id want to see expanded on in like a book #the show not expanding on it is fine bc it would distract from the main focus of the show #as well as bore the kids watching #star wars #star wars rebels #alexsandr kallus #agent kallus #if i see anyone tagging this as kalluz///eb ill fight

The site says that it's up to 345 today btw.

Also, the number from last year is like. Almost 4 people. Everyday. Dead. Not maimed, injured, or manhandled.

Just the people killed.

When did that stop becoming horrifying. What are the plans to make Mr 'shoot em in the leg' and 'fund the police' do something about the death squads he helped create? Or do we only care about human rights when white folx want em?
