ooooh, i see you're a tech girlie 😬
how are you coping with the finale? (i'm not)
I'm making my peace with it tbh 💔 Still letting everything sink in. Here are my VERY messy thoughts about the Tech thing so far:
We kind of got baited 🧍 Most of the evidence for a Tech return was subtle, but still compelling?? Especially when considered altogether. If the writers weren't intentionally trying to bait us, then I feel like the marketing was (with the poster and "ooOOooOh who could this be" stuff for CX-2).
Some the disappointment we're feeling probably could have been eased if the show had just... talked about Tech's death? We hear it in passing a lot, and his goggles are constantly shown, but we don't get to see any of the characters actually confront it? The only time I truly felt the gravity of his death was when Crosshair lashed out about it in the finale. I almost feel like Mayday got a more satisfying tribute than Tech 😭 Since the show is so weirdly dismissive of him, it also enables the fans to be dismissive. Which, I mean, the theories would've sparked either way... BUT if the show had properly addressed his death earlier in the season, I think we'd be more ready to let him go (maybe).
Be it Tech or Cody or some random guy, I wish CX-2 had lasted a liiiittle longer in the finale. Because we spend so much time on him just to... watch him get speared? Just like that?? I think it could've been cool if he got to fight more and part of his helmet shattered, revealing a sliver of his face. Even just getting to see an eye or something would've been more satisfying to me. A scary reminder that there used to be a person under there... And a tiny bit of payoff for the mystery surrounding his character.
ANYWAYS, yeah. I DID enjoy the finale overall!! And I'm in the Hollow Knight fandom as well, so I'm very, VERY used to putting on the clown makeup 🤡 I HAVE LONG ACCEPTED THE CLOWN SHOES OF SHAME!!! YOU CAN'T SAY SHIT TO ME!!!!!

do genuinely find it fascinating how indeed.com is like the biggest job-hunting website out there and yet manages to be profoundly useless in every possible way

my family is fucking addicted to macgyvering and it's becoming a problem. every time something in this house breaks, instead of doing the sensible thing of replacing it or calling someone qualified to fix it, we all group around the offending object with a manic look in our eyes and everyone gets a try at fixing it while being cheered on or ridiculed by the rest.
it's a beautiful bonding activity, but the "creative" fixes have turned our house into a quasihaunted escape room like contraption where everything works, but only in the wonkiest of ways. you need a huge block of iron to turn on the stove. the oven only works if a specific clock is plugged in. the bread machine has a huge wood block just stapled to it that has become foundational to its function. sometimes when you use the toaster the doorbell rings. and that's just the kitchen.
it's all fun and games until you have guests over and you have to lay out the rules of the house like it's a fucking board game. welcome to the beautiful guest room. don't pull out the couch yourself you need a screwdriver for that, and that metal rod makes the lamp work so don't move it. it also made me a terrifying roommate in college, because it makes me think i can fix anything with enough hubris and a drill. you want to call the landlord about a leaky faucet? as if. one time my dad made me install a new power socket because we ran our of extension cords

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:

"hey why are all the barrier garments like linen shirts or chemises or combinations going away?"
"oh we have more washable fabrics now! you don't need to worry about sweat reaching your outer clothing when you can just chuck it in the washing machine!"
"cool!"
[100 years later]
"so uh all of those new washable fabrics are leaching microplastics into our water, and the constant machine-washing wears garments out faster. they're also not really sturdy enough to be mended, so we keep having to throw them out and now the planet is covered in plastic fabric waste that will never break down. also it turns out that the new washable fabrics hold odor-causing bacteria VERY well. so could we get those barrier garments back please?"
"sorry babe linen now costs $100000/yard and since it's been so long without them, nobody knows how to adapt barrier garments to the current styles anyway"
"..."
"maybe try this new $50 undershirt made of Special Sweat-Wicking Plastic Fabric! :) :) :)"

QUICK REMINDER
In the US: threatening government officials is a felony under federal law (the president in particular is protected under 18 U.S.C. § 871). Even memes.
be careful with your jokes if they spill over to active officials.
