[just-another-lurker91]

I am under pressure to post/say/remark something smart/brainy/sexy because blank blogs are universally unpopular but nothing comes to my mind. And I haven’t got a cute/breathtakingly aesthetic/gruesome picture either. So I might simply have a cup of tea and listen to the wind rattling my shutters.

Y'all I did NOT know this about Harris, and I think it's really critical that we all listen and understand as we approach this election. Video at the end.

This creator's video describes how progressive Harris was as a prosecutor -- actively going against the grain to the point she was accused of being soft on crime. Accused of being a social worker, not a prosecutor. She calls it being smart on crime. She's pushing for systemic changes to give real pathways to reintegrate incarcerated folks back into society and prevent their past from continuing to haunt them moving forward.

"Kamala's a cop" is a catchy dismissive response usually used to shut down conversation rather than add nuance. But this kind of reform is ESSENTIAL to work towards a present and future that treats incarcerated people with value.

I fell for it in 2020 and have thought "Kamala's a cop" without further inspection since - and I'm sobered by the realization that (you guessed it!) I'm not immune to propaganda.

A better system only follows liberal democracy, because library democracy allows for exploration of better systems. If authoritarianism takes hold, it will not allow for the exploration of better systems. We will have to fight tooth and nail just to try to get back to liberal democracy, and I suspect we could not achieve it in our lifetimes.

Harris isn't perfect. But she's a hell of a lot better than many leftists have led me to believe. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good. Don't let perfection be the enemy of harm reduction.

We can either help elect Trump and usher in authoritarian fascism, or we can help defeat him and pull things back in the direction we want to go. Not liking the choices doesn't absolve you from participating and doing the most good you can with the options available.

I'll link the original video in the replies. The original video has captions if you need them.

POV: the you’re a fairy and the silly little dark unicorn is making you play chess with him

I was in between doing like really cheap dollar tree plastic chess pieces (cuz he would totally use them 😭) or fancy expensive ones, but I ended up doing the fancy marble ones because they're more fun to draw. Anyways I have like the symbolism for the placement of the chess pieces and stuff in the tags cuz most likely no sane people want to read it 😭 @lunar-lurker

I think Mutant Mayhem is the first tmnt propriety to make Leo my favorite turtle right off the bat.

Not that I don’t like Leo anywhere else, but usually it takes me like a second rewatch or something to really pick apart Leo’s character in full to appreciate him- and even then he’s usually not my favorite.

But MM Leo is my favorite for reasons I cannot identify.

Maybe it’s the way he walks, his cringe fail personality, I don’t know but I care about this loser so much.

Idk he cares so much abt his siblings despite the fact that they can be so mean to him sometimes. He is also the one who continually pushes to do the right thing when theres nothing (or even sometimes worst things) to gain from it.

Even his attempts at being cool come off as dorkish but it’s charming in a way only little kids can be. In a ‘you’re doing your best sweetie’. Leo is a single mother of three while also being a teenage boy, that takes work.

He’s such a silent but calculating character, ironically when he doesn’t try so hard and does what he feels is right he gets the best results (ie his leader speech, the plan to be accepted, gaining the acceptance of other mutants) for all his fumbling and try hard attitude he has such natural potential it’s insane.

Guys, reading Steve Binder's book, I learned that KFC wanted really bad to sponsor the Elvis Special for NBC in 1968 ('68 Comeback Special). Just a little tidbit. We love to know about the famous people who are also Elvis fans, right? So here's a little company that supported our boy too - or wanted to. Funny, I remember Elvis joking onstage in the 70s calling Col. Parker of Col. Sanders.

"Kentucky Fried Chicken and Mrs. Paul's Fishsticks tried desperately to sponsor the Elvis show (1968) and probably would have doubled or tripled the license fee that Singer actually paid for." Excerpt "Elvis '68 Comeback: The Story Behind the Special" by Steve Binder

According to Binder, the reason the Singer Company was chosen to sponsor the show is because NBC's sales department already had a sponsor relationship with a business man from an advertising company that represented the Singer Sewing Machines. As a favor to this man and his advertising agency (Farlan Meyers from J. Walter Thompson Advertising Company), NBC "practilly gave them the Elvis special". The Singer Company also sponsored two more shows for NBC in 1968, one featuring Don Ho, the Hawaiian singer, and the other featuring Liberace.
