#so that's the frustrating part

[ironicscavenger]

Not gonna lie fam, finding work has not been easy. Obviously I knew it'd take a while, but it's been frustrating. Anyway, I'm still unemployed, but it's been only a month, so I'm hopeful..

PS: I realised I didn't really make an announcement here, so here goes: I got my degree and license last month, I am officially a therapist/psychologist.. Yay!

Not to wade into discourse, but the reason why Taylor’s measured tone on the Republican ticket and instead detailing what issues are important to her and why Harris and Walz have earned her vote and prioritizing voter registration efforts are precisely because she has such a huge, influential platform with an audience from so many different walks of life.

There’s no doubt she hates Trump, and it’s even in the subtext of what she’s said in her post, but coming out guns blazing on Trump in an endorsement for the other candidate not only takes away the power of that candidate’s platform, but can turn off uneducated readers who she, like many campaign efforts, are trying to reach. People don’t want to be told who to vote for, but by Taylor saying what issues what matter to her, she’s signaling to voters what issues the candidate stands for too. People want to feel like they’ve drawn their own conclusion vs. being told what to do.

I’m not naive enough to think Taylor can sway an election at all. (And before anyone says it, I know she’s not an activist and I have never claimed she was.) But she’s kind of taking the “trying to gently make a case at Thanksgiving dinner with your blowhard cousin you see once a year with facts instead of taking the bait with their rants” approach with this. It’s not both-siding the candidates or trying to be apolitical or not ruffle feathers. It’s using facts and policies to make a point instead of only raw emotion or opinion. It’s outreach, in its own kind of way.

There will be plenty of time for her to make her thoughts on the Republican ticket known, if she so chooses. (I hope she does, not because I don’t know she hates those two, but because I know she can eviscerate them so eloquently and cuttingly.) But I don’t think this endorsement, on this day, with this kind of spotlight on it, was going to be the platform for it. Obviously she wants the Democrats to win, but she wants people to learn about the issues themselves so they personally understand why these issues are important and make the choice for themselves instead of because of a celebrity telling them to.

When a gay character is turned straight it's callout for the erasure it is

When an aspec character is turned into any other sexuality then we're over reacting and "x character didn't have a set canon sexuality so they can change it all they like"

Yuki answers the question of whether he wants Daniel or Liam as his teammate

“No comments, but I’d say I’ve learnt a lot of things from Daniel. He’s probably one of the formula one drivers I respect the most. He’s very consistent [even after a bad race]. He never shows his frustration. He’s able to separate his mind. I’ve learnt a lot of things from Daniel.”

Me: "Can I please use all this energy to draw on an actual project"

My brain: "You will draw the same character over and over and you will like it."

Me: "Okay."

In the novel, the couple has a happy ending. We didn’t in reality. I couldn’t understand how lonely she felt, and she returned to Korea without a word to me.
