#righteous indignation

[aeshnacyanea2000]

She drew herself up and out, righteous indignation radiating like a bonfire, causing the dwarfs to back away from what was clearly an unexploded bosom.

“What do you mean you don’t wanna see [some upsetting thing] on your dash? You must have done something to make it show up. If anything, you complaining about it being on your dash only tells people that’s secretly what you want on your dash. Clearly, the algorithm picked up on—”

No.

There are people who put things in the wrong tags, intentionally.

Some people you follow can post and reblog things you might not expect or agree with.

There are people who will post upsetting things without tagging them at all.

The algorithm is just stupid.

I’ve never actually heard anyone say this, just to clarify. Consider this a proactive counterargument. And if anyone tries to use that argument… They’re just dumb.

The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone; to be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation'.

I envied the people who judged me. Those who lived their lives in a neat, predictable manner. The right college, the right house, the right time to move to a bigger one. The prescribed number of children, which sometimes is two and other times is three. I would bet that most of those people had not been through one percent of what I had.

他人の不幸や貧困は、何時の時代も娯楽として消費されるのが常だ。 …それもわからぬ暇人だけが、義憤に吹き上がるところまでも含めて。

The misfortunes and poverty of others are always consumed as entertainment in any age. … Including even to the point where only a bored person who doesn't understand it blows up in righteous indignation.

Or 4 Oldest Siblings vs The Kids With No Respect

Alright, if you have two siblings or fewer and you're writing a character who comes from a large family, I have a Tip. That may or may not be necessary I do not know.

You're dealing with a large group of likely minor characters, you're probably going to shorthand them into a sibling clump.

The sibling clump is a writing trick to keep you sane. It is not how the Character would see the siblings. Every relationship is individual here.

"omg there was only one bed" and if the bed-sharing was familial? if it was platonic?

what about going to a parental figure's room after a nightmare and being comforted late at night?

what about found families cuddling on the couch under lots of blankets?

what about friends showing up at obscene hours of night to crash at their house because it's a safe place for them?

what about siblings sleeping on bunk beds or in separate rooms but end up sharing one bed anyway because they need to know that the other one is safe after a traumatic experience and their other siblings wake up before them and take pictures of them cuddling to tease them later?

what about reluctant found families or reluctant friend groups having to share a bed and as they drift off to sleep, surrounded by these people who they didn't want to get close to but ended up not only caring about, but trusting and relying on, coming to the realization that they would do anything for them???

what about platonic intimacy and being able to rest and rely on your loved ones because you trust them? what about that? huh???

See I don't really believe there are any broader like. Schema of gender in Homestuck in that makes sense. Including Callie's OG gendering of classes but most others don't have a solid "reason" to them. Breath players tend to lean towards transfeminine to me but that doesn't feel like it's because of Breath and so on and so forth.

Basically the only two principles of gender determination in Homestuck I actually abide by are:

Trans characters can be partially determined in certain cases by examine their relationships to other close characters, forming something like a binary (or more) system. Transmasculine Dirk v. Transfeminine Roxy, Femme Transfeminine Gay Jake English v. Butch Transmasc Lesbian Jane Crocker, my Davepeta+ Gender Chart etc. Characters in Homestuck often model themselves in relation to their friends as we do irl.

Space is nigh-exclusively a transfeminine aspect in Homestuck itself. The job of a Space player is to seize and create their own means of creation and species-level reproduction, usually after being deprived of traditional means of womanhood, motherhood, and reproduction.

As soon as I posted this anywhere, except Facebook, I've got bots coming into my messages telling me I can improve my campaign, would I like to know how? On Facebook, where everyone knows my face and name, I haven't gotten any sort of interaction. I hate asking for help as much as anyone else.

What makes me really upset is how the LDS church (my local bigbad religious establishment and the one who's got my name in their holey ledgers) insists on self-reliance, which is all well and good and I agree, but I wouldn't be asking for help if I didn't need it.

"We can help you with most of the rent, but not all of it," then don't help at all. Management companies don't like partial payments. Why waste time with false good will?

I see the billion dollar slush fund and I get even angrier. Yes, I am selfish and prideful, but I am also smart enough to know what any of the major religious organizations could fix so much for everyone that I would also benefit after those who most need the help.

I know how charity in the LDS church works: it has to come at the ward level for the sake of ease and, I have no doubt, to attempt to make people live the "Law of Consecration" (socialism with religious flare) as closely as possible, but that Billion Dollars is doing nothing while the individuals who make up the wards are struggling to make their own rent/mortgage payments on top of tithing (10% of earnings) and fast offerings (the approximate cost of two meals).

My parents were always "short" on tithing and fast offerings because they had to choose bills and groceries over the Commandments. It was a necessity to actual survival and my folks always felt so guilty everytime until they died. To have any sort of spiritual sanity, I have to believe that a just god would not make such demands, but for The Church--any of them, by the way--to do so is the height of blasphemy and I am so angry.

I don't like asking individuals for help because everyone is trying their best and we help each other however we can or we don't, but we never made any promises to each other. But, every American Christian Church (I doubt the evangelists have made much progress outside the states and I can only speak from my experience) has promised to feed and clothe and protect. The only time I've experienced this kind of help was with my parents' ward, which was amazing, but is just proof that it's inconsistent and driven entirely by personality.

Anyway, I'm 0/500, if anyone could help and boost that would be amazing. I'll do a tarot reading for you and give you some preserved sourdough starter.

Staring down a fully armed imperial assassin and scolding him like a child remains one of the hottest things Shep Hazard has ever done.

gotta say...it'd be a lot more satisfying if the writers would let olivia cooke bring the same energy to alicent that rebecca ferguson brought to jessica in dune: part 2.
