This article discusses a little history around the Gadsden flag, its origins and development as a symbol of freedom, and reasons it has endured as a symbol of freedom for so long. It does, however, miss a key point in this Colorado controversy.
The problem with a balanced analysis in this case is that it overlooks how public officials just make stuff up. The school administrator who insisted student Jaiden leave school property - now - states his reason:
"The reason that we do not want the flag displayed is due to its origins with slavery and the slave trade."
People in authority who want to prevail like fantasy arguments, because their victims have no way to refute their nonsense. Do you suppose that when Jaiden's mother tried to explain the flag's origins in the American Revolution, her arguments had any persuasive effect? Of course not. When Colorado Governor Jared Polis supported Jaiden's free speech rights in a public letter, it had no effect. The school administrator had already removed Jaiden and his backpack from school property, with justification that amounted to a joke.
I would say that to counter self-important administrators who use dishonest, false arguments, we must treat them as a joke. The problem is, they get the first move, they have tenure in their positions, some parents will believe their nonsense, and parents who hold up ignorant slobs for ridicule often find themselves regarded as troublemakers.
So what do you do when your child is effectively ostracized from school because some administrator does not know what an historical symbol means, or care about fair enforcement of school district policy? If you really think a Gadsden flag patch on a twelve-year-old's backpack disrupts the school environment because it symbolizes white supremacy, how disruptive is it when you show yourself a fool, and students under your authority no longer respect you?

Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point
(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)
Have a nice day !
you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...
(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")
all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.
Tumblr media
(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)
as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.
(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#gentle spoilers but y'know. just in case#lost in the book with nightmare before christmas#hajimari no halloween#most of the kitchen scene was jade messing with the firsties and that was so delightful that i didn't think til after#that you'd think sebek would have made some kind of reference to lilia 'i lost my tastebuds in the war' vanrouge's quote-unquote cooking#ah well. jade being mean is more than entertaining enough#looking forward to more of it tomorrow!#god. lilia and idia though.#lilia is like. genuinely idia's best friend and neither of them have any idea#and idia keeps doing that 'ha ha what if we were friends out of game too? what if we met offline? jk jk jk uNLESS...👉👈'#and then he immediately chickens out because he's so convinced that crimson will hate him if they ever met irl#(meanwhile lilia is just like 'my online bestie is so cool :) la la la')#they are both so stupid and i love them so much#i've just realized that i actually do want them to find out each other's identities#because idia doesn't just go to school with his online bff#he ALSO goes to school with his online bff's extremely supportive and extremely socially-inept kids#idia is going to get invited to dinner at diasomnia and it's going to be SO awkward#silver is going to give a long formal speech thanking him for being a stalwart comrade and trusted warrior brother to his father#as sebek stews in jealousy that idia got to fight by lilia-sama's side >:(#while idia sits there like 'all i did was link him a video about lane control for his character class'#malleus will make such an effort to learn literally anything about online gaming and he won't understand a word of it#it will be SUCH a disaster and i very much do want it now

My parents and I were talking about our Bar admissions, for some reason, and they'd both forgotten that my motion for admission, put forward by my brother (also a lawyer) began, "My sister has many issues, but the one before the Court today is that of her admission to the State Bar."
Start as you mean to go on, I guess.

French TV journalist having a hard time trying to get woman in the street to comment on Macron's latest speech yesterday
Protesters organised casserolades (aka banging on pots and pans) in front of city halls across the country at 8pm, when Macron was speaking, to symbolically drown out his voice. Later that evening, Macron was filmed singing a song with some 'random people' in a street in Paris, trying to show he can go out and meet people and have fun because protesters don't exist. The people he was singing with (members of a choir, some of whom are 'alt-right-leaning') were using a folk song app created by far-right activists that was criticised a few months ago for hosting a Spanish fascist anthem & Third Reich military marches.
The government's response was that the President "couldn't know the background of the people he met that night." Maybe if he wants to avoid being associated with the far-right (that's a big if, I know), Macron should keep in mind that with the kinds of strategies and positioning his government has adopted lately, people in the street who welcome him with open arms and are proud to be filmed with him have a higher than average likelihood of supporting fascism.

London’s Central drama school axes audition fees to end elite grip on the arts
Martin–as a former graduate– chimes in. 🙂
Tumblr media
“None of us want drama schools to be the preserve of the well off. Ideally, they are places where people from all backgrounds can come together and learn from each other,” said Freeman, a Central graduate and star of The Responder, Sherlock and The Office. “Without my grant from Richmond council many years ago, I would never have been able to enjoy my three years at Central. That seems to have become harder and harder in recent years; who knows how many young actors are lost to us, due to lack of funds. I hope this inspires others to follow suit in trying to make attending drama school fairer for all.”

HARVARD ID’s STUDENTS FOR SILENTLY PRAYING FOR PALESTINE AT DIVINITY SCHOOL
Today, Jewish students at Harvard Divinity School, a nonsectarian school dedicated to the religion scholarship, led a pray-in for Palestine in the library.
Nearly 70 students attended and prayed silently with religious materials in hand and signs against the ongoing genocide and Harvard’s complicity. Admin quickly arrived to ID all participants, including people who were simply holding prayer books without a sign or keffiyeh.
This is the first pray-in during a wave of recent study-ins across the university — students have been undeterred in their solidarity with the Palestinian people despite receiving bans from their own libraries.

The Fall of Logan Fields.
Ladies and gentlemen, today, I stand before you not just as someone who called out the truth, but as the one who finally saw the end of an era. For over a year, I’ve carried a fire—a fire that burned with pure, unrelenting hate for one person: Logan Fields.
I’ve been fighting a battle that some of you didn’t even understand. I’ve been relentlessly pushing back against Logan Fields and his so-called "Logang." I took heat, I got called every name in the book, but you know what? I never gave up. I kept my eyes on the prize, and that prize was seeing Logan fall.
You can call it petty, you can call it toxic, but I knew what I was doing. I knew that the only way to bring down a kid like Logan was to keep pushing, keep fighting, keep speaking the truth even when the world tried to silence me. Every meme, every post, every comment I made—people hated me for it. People laughed at me, called me obsessive, said I was wasting my time.
But let me tell you—it was worth it.
Logan thought he was untouchable, that his army of "Logang" could protect him. But there’s something people like Logan don’t understand: you can’t hide behind followers forever. You can’t be the loudest voice in the room and not expect someone to call you out.
And I did. Every day. Relentlessly.
And now? Look at us. Look at him.
November 19th, 2024—Logan Fields, gone. Gone like that train he tried to ride, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I’ve spent a whole year dealing with his followers, defending my stance, and now? Now, it’s over. The Logang is scattered, the king has fallen, and the noise they made for so long is nothing but silence. No more followers to back him up, no more rants to rile people up. The empire he built on the backs of delusional fans has crumbled, and it’s all because I never stopped. Every ounce of hate, every ounce of patience—it paid off.
To everyone who doubted me, to everyone who thought I was just some troll or some hater—I told you this day would come. You were wrong. This wasn’t just some internet drama. This was a mission, a purpose, a stand for something bigger. This is what happens when you don’t back down, when you don’t let the noise drown out your voice.
So, to anyone who thought I’d quit, to anyone who thought Logan would somehow rise above this, to anyone who doubted that my hate had a purpose: remember this day. The Logang is finished. Logan Fields is out of the picture. And all those who stood by me—we won.
The hate? It wasn’t just some pointless rage. It was the fuel that brought this moment to life. Here’s to the end of the Logang era, and the beginning of a new chapter. One where we’re in control. Walk with your heads up high. Now it’s your turn, your turn to GO BEYONG. PLUS ULTRAAAAA ✊✊

Having grown up going to mostly white schools y’all can realise why my eyes start physically twitching when I see fucked up takes on racism
Y’all do not understand how many times irl poc have heard that “it wasn’t that bad”, “maybe he didn’t mean it that way” , “oh he’s going through xyz” shit in our lives and it shows
White people will be the death of me I fear but it will be purely through abhorrent takes😔💔
(Just saw a post where they went through everything Tommy said or did in the chimney and hens begins episodes and made an excuse for it- saying shit like maybe he thought chimney was actually the delivery guy - despite the fact man’s was lugging a big ads lafd bag and it it had been a white man that question would never have been asked- or maybe he was thinking xyz in this scenario)
Also straight people😔
Straight people may also be the death of me cos the post after it was abt how buck deserved to be left outside the restaurant and it’s the consequences of his own actions and one of the replies was abt how buck deserved to have tommy not agree or answer to the coffee date but tommy gave him a second chance
Like I beg y’all to realise that buck wasn’t just being quirky little guy and saying that for no reason no he was genuinely going through something this is his first queer experience and his best friend crashes it in a public setting what did Tommy expect, he was going through something which tommy should’ve understood and handled better than leaving him on the curb and anyone who says otherwise is either straight and has no idea what queer experiences are like or they are queer but so blurred by their own singular experience that they can’t perceive the other perspective
