#swm team

[sevsbestfriend]

I usually write fics here but I just wanna rant rn.

Sometimes I got to old posts and stuff, either to get new ideas or just see what the fuck is going on with the other side of the fandom.

The people coming to James defense or crazy, like on one hand they are like 'oh he was only human, he grew as a person otherwise how would lily love him?'

We literally have cannon confirmation that the fucking prat didn't stop hexing people, he just learned to hide it better. Sirius and Remus confirmed this when they called Severus a 'special case'. I don't give a shit about them saying he attacked first, you better believe I am attacking first if I come across a guy who has stripped me naked in public when I didn't do shit to him. (Or the other guy who tried to get me killed by bloody werewolf) Like wtf are you even talking about at that point???

Also, Harry comes across a detention report of them hexing another student in their 7th year. So uhm...yeah.

Then they are like 'oh Severus hates him so his memories are biased'

Did you morons even read the books?? Pensive memories are unbiased, any manipulation is extremely apparent as we saw in Slughorns case. So NO they aren't biased that extremely uncomfortable read of SWM? it's fucking canon in its truest sense.

Also, how in the ever living hippogryph does a guy who strips people naked for fun change so much that he becomes head boy??

It's pretty simple, he doesn't. He learns to hide it better and given the fact that this person has always been given the benefit of the doubt, it is very easy for them to their nature.

Dude had a map that showed him everyone's real time location and an invisibility cloak, he could damn well harass anyone in isolated corners of the castle if he wished. Which is exactly what he did.

Also, these people love to claim how 'lily only approved of him cause he changed.'

To that I say, Who the fuck is Lily?? Mother Teresa??

How is she the ultimate decider of what is good and bad and at the same time, completely right in dating someone who stripped another student makes after a year (or 2) of the event??

Don't get me wrong, she doesn't owe Severus anything, really, but seriously this is just ridiculous. Like if I was a woman, I would be genuinely terrified of someone like that, especially when they got away with no real consequences what so ever.

James was a prick with a very good PR team for friends and teachers. That's really it, it is often said that good looking people can get away with a lot of things and James is just a prime example of that.

---_---_---_---_---_---_---_---_

Also...BRAVE?? Dude had 2 cheat items and the advantage of a Pureblood upbringing and was still too PUSSY to face Severus alone. Yeah..what a real Gryphindor that one. Scrams bravery to you doesn't it? He did this all the way till 17, so yeah he definitely was super important in the order right??

---_---_---_---_---_---_---_---_---_

Dumbledore invested quite a bit in the Marauders with his blatant favoritism and letting a werewolf in the school risking his own position as a headmaster.

And...they all turned to be bloody useless. With only James being useful because of his participation in the birth of Harry Potter.

Sirius in his madness derailed a murder investigation for a fucking decade.

Remus, I genuinely can't remember anything substantial Remus did, except for letting someone he believed was a murderer into Hogwarts and never telling Dumbledore that they were Animagus to begin with.

---_---_--_---_

Seriously, the most useful person in the war had to literally beg on his knees for the man to use him. Even fate was like, for fucks sake, just give this guy a chance already.

James/Lily vs James/Sirius: a case of accidental queer coding

Jily (James/Lily) is a pairing central to the HP universe in the sense that had they not been married, Harry Potter, the main character, would cease to exist and neither would his story as we know it. Yet we are left with only a few brief glimpses of their relationship in canon whilst other pairings are textually far more fleshed out– take Prongsfoot (James/Sirius), for example, who are frequently portrayed as The Duo, not just by those closest to them (Lupin) but by many others too such as McGonagall, Flitwick and so on. Harry himself could see how close they were during SWM in OOTP and this is someone who had a very limited time with Sirius and close to none with James. 

Queercoding is described as “the subtextual coding of a character in media as queer. Though such a character's sexual identity may not be explicitly confirmed within their respective work, a character might be coded as queer through the use of traits and stereotypes recognisable to the audience.” One character comes to mind when I think of “queercoding” and that’s Sirius Black. He’s estranged from his family, goes against the norms associated with his upbringing, there’s no mention of any ex-girlfriends and most notably he has intense love and devotion for his male best friend; James Potter.  At first glance, James had led an incredibly hetero-normative life by virtue of his wife and son, but through his relationship to Sirius there’s leeway to reach a queer reading of him as well. 

As recognised by countless characters and even Sirius himself, Prongsfoot come in a two-for-one deal:

“Do you remember who his best friend was?”  “Naturally,” said Madam Rosmerta, with a small laugh. “Never saw one without the other, did you? The number of times I had them in here — ooh, they used to make me laugh. Quite the double act, Sirius Black and James Potter!”  “Black and Potter. Ringleaders of their little gang. Both very bright, of course — exceptionally bright, in fact…”  “You’d have thought Black and Potter were brothers!” chimed in Professor Flitwick. “Inseparable!” 

The use of the word “brothers” in the above quote is one reason why fans don’t interpret Prongsfoot as queer-coded and/or romantic. However, it’s important to note that Sirius never referred to James as a brother, and there’s no canonical proof to suggest that Flitwick was close to James and Sirius– he was their teacher, not their friend or confidant. He isn’t calling them “brothers” either but rather he’s saying that word to express how strong their bond was. Hence why I believe an exclusively fraternal reading of their relationship doesn’t hold much weight. 

They are, however, established as each other’s closest friend and most trusted confidant. 

“Harry had the distinct impression that Sirius was the only one for whom James would have stopped showing off.” “Potter trusted Black beyond all his other friends. Nothing changed when they left school. Black was the best man when James married Lily. Then they named him godfather to Harry.  “I persuaded Lily and James to change to Peter at the last moment, persuaded them to use him as Secret-Keeper instead of me.”  “Lily and James only made you Secret-Keeper because I suggested it,” Black hissed

On multiple occasions James and Sirius were described as a unit– The Unit– within their friend group. Lupin said they were “the cleverest students in the school.” They were the “ringleaders” of the Marauders; always on the same page and in agreement with each other.

“Then, with identical fluid movements, they reached into their back pockets.” 

Even during their very first encounter, they quickly and effortlessly become a team. 

“Got a problem with that?”  “No,” said Snape, though his slight sneer said otherwise. “If you’d rather be brawny than brainy–” “Where’re you hoping to go, seeing as you’re neither?” interjected Sirius.  James roared with laughter.

This excerpt from DH also neatly sums up the Marauders group dynamic:

“To Sirius’s right stood Pettigrew, more than a head shorter, plump and watery-eyed, flushed with pleasure at his inclusion in this coolest of gangs, with the much-admired rebels that James and Sirius had been. On James’s left was Lupin, even then a little shabby-looking, but he had the same air of delighted surprise at finding himself liked and included” 

Lily herself acknowledged Sirius’ importance in James’ life in her letter to Sirius, where she all but says that only he could lift James’ mood whilst the Potters’ were hiding from Voldemort’s forces. 

“James is getting a bit frustrated shut up here, he tries not to show it but I can tell — also, Dumbledore’s still got his Invisibility Cloak, so no chance of little excursions. If you could visit, it would cheer him up so much.” 

On the other hand, Jily is portrayed in a less compelling way for lack of better words. I spoke about this in my other meta but to summarise it briefly: Lily is James’ wife, the mother of his son and… that’s pretty much it. In the books they’re barely spoken about as a couple, unlike Prongsfoot who are always mentioned together as if they were a package deal– which they were, as recognised by practically everyone. That’s not to say Jily has zero textual backing, though it is far and few between.

“How come she married him?” Harry asked miserably. “She hated him!”  “Nah, she didn’t,” said Sirius.  “She started going out with him in seventh year,” said Lupin.  “Once James had deflated his head a bit,” said Sirius.  “And stopped hexing people just for the fun of it,” said Lupin. 

Conclusion

What we do know about James and Lily’s relationship is limited to the following: Lily disliked James because he and Snape were enemies, James developed feelings for her first, they began dating in seventh year once James had matured, they got married when they were nineteen to twenty years old, had a child together. The end. 

On the contrary, James and Sirius are constantly implied to be each other’s closest, most loyal friend; each other’s most trusted confidant. They are equals in every conceivable way. Both were popular, from wealthy backgrounds  and intelligent. Throughout the entire series Sirius’ only priority was Harry, James’ son. He went through unfathomable lengths to protect Harry: he was the first to escape Azkaban, he snuck into Hogwarts with all the dementors around and lived off rats during the GOF so he could be close to Harry, the last piece of James he had left. 

There’s also evidence to suggest Sirius was a narrative parallel to Snape. There are two adults in Harry’s life who sought to protect him due to their respective relationships with one of his parents. Snape was a double agent for Dumbeldore out of love for Lily; Sirius escaped Azkaban to protect Harry out of love for him, an extension of his love for James. 

All these factors are  why I believe that by not fleshing out Lily as a character and Jily as a couple, JKR accidentally queer-coded Prongsfoot.

*gayly and tentatively* pls indoctrinate me into dorlily nation… that is to say …. headcanons?🤲👀🙂

DORLILY !!!!! MY GALS !!!! my fav lily ship arguably

i just. the brightest witch of her age x "voldemort had to take her down personally" !? YES PLS !!!!

i really like the idea of messy dorlily okay. like,,, lily who has so so so much love for her family and she's so smart, she knows that there must be something she can do and she also knows that she's smart enough to pull it off. her and dorcas working on something??? her and dorcas pairing up whilst she's in hiding and coming up with a plan/protection? canon divergent au where they manage to survive? here for ittttt

some random headcanons that i've made up for you right in this moment

lily turns up to every single quidditch game and she tells herself it's to keep remus company but it's purely for dorcas. she watches the slytherin vs gryffindor games and she spends most of the time hoping dorcas wins just so she can watch her celebrate

they 100% were academic rivals. i love academic rivals and i love the idea of both of them being prefects and lily getting so frustrated that dorcas is a prefect AND on the quidditch team and she still manages to keep up with her. meanwhile dorcas is just like "huh. this random lil redhead is glaring at me. i'll glare back i guess" - dorcas 100% is the one who can keep up with lily, 100% the one who asks her questions and really facilitates academic discussions in a way i can't picture even remus doing.

RAHHH SO!!!! dorcas and lily bonding over the slytherins. they get it! they get what it's like to be friends with someone who is going down the wrong path (lily w snape, dorcas w regulus, barty, and evan) and i just love the idea of them bonding over that! maybe dorcas is the only person who agrees with lily that not all slytherins are bad but she still brings her down to earth to say "but ours are. our ones are going to do something bad."

dorcas is very cool very calm very collected until lily turns up and teases her and then she's a flustered mess. everyone makes fun of her for it because she has suchhhh a resting bitch face but lily can just wave and it fades away

lily on the other hand is alwayssss on the move, always doing something! and dorcas is the only thing that can get her to slow down

i like the idea of them driftung apart a bit after SWM, lily gives up snape and sees dorcas is still friends with the slytherins so she drifts away a bit because she's angry. she's angry and she's jealous until dorcas sees the mark one day/something Big happens and then she's turning up at gryffindor tower in the middle of the night asking what she can do - boom, ootp.

grumpy x sunshine except theyre both grumpy apart but sunshine together

dorcas tried to teach lily how to fly one day and it ended with both of them falling into a massive muddy puddle but they just laid there talking for hours instead

both have pretty lonely homelives and are striving for something bigger than that and they find it in each other

dorcas is significantly taller but you barely notice because she's always attached to lily and lily's personality is larger than life itself so it makes yp for the fact she is like 5'3

they pair up to prank the marauders 🙂↕️ lily has learnt some of their tricks along the way and dorcas knows how to sneak about and how to make them Even Better. the marauders only find out it's them because sirius says something like "i reckon it was barty" and dorcas is all UHM ACTUALLY ‼️‼️ this was my wife's idea ‼️‼️

i could go on and on i am making these up on the spot but !!! smart x powerful ? they could take over the world (lovingly) and i would let them (also lovingly)

If you're non-binary and reluctant to use your full real legal name and/or author photo, or not even these things necessarily but just all of it fills you with anxiety, also interviews!, and you're dealing with SWM (straight white males) who may not "get" these things - how do you bring these things up? I've kind of been dodging and avoiding some of these things with my agent and editor and I'd love to just be direct about them, but I fear backlash (which I know sounds silly in 2024 but still!).

Here's the thing:

Your agent and your editor are on your team. They can support you, they can get you out of things or give you workarounds or accommodations, they can help you navigate anxiety-provoking things -- but they can't help you if they don't know there's a problem.

I do understand your reluctance to get into potentially personal topics, or disclose private things to people, but here, avoiding and dodging rather than communicating will just make it all worse and harder in the long run. You just have to be straight-up with them, especially your agent, and just tell them the god's honest truth about whatever-it-is.

(I say "especially your agent" because if you are nervous about approaching your editor, your agent can do that part on your behalf in a diplomatic way, so that they just know what they need to know in order to help you.)

I promise you that there is likely nothing you could bring up that your agent has not dealt with before in some fashion -- and IT'S THEIR JOB to smooth the way for you and help you deal with stuff that comes up! They might well be annoyed if you are continually avoiding things for no discernible reason and not communicating with them, but they shouldn't be annoyed or weirded out or anything else by your honestly telling them what the problem is and/or what you need. If they are, by all means FIRE THEM and get a different agent!

🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?

❤️: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

Ask game: unpopular opinion edition <3

Hi! Someone already beat you to both I'm afraid 😅 here. But I'll copy/paste them anyway to make life easier.

🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?

Honestly what comes to mind is actually something that I think is technically canon - that Tom Riddle was an evil sociopath because he was the product of a love potion and rape. For one thing, his mother loved his father, so it's not like he was the product of an entirely loveless union, she was just emotionally scarred by her abusive family. For another, the metaphor there is, essentially, that children who are the product of rape are damaged in some way - that there's something wrong with them. I think if the story had been that Riddle turned out sociopathic and selfish and vicious because he grew up an orphan in a place where he wasn't taken care of and no one cared about him, that would be a significant and valuable statement on government institutional failings and trauma. Rowling didn't have to make it about motherhood, but that's a choice she makes again and again: judging female characters based on their relationship with maternality. Young Tom Riddle's secretive behavior, anxiety over death that follows him into adulthood, and distrust of adults are red flags for abuse and/or trauma. The fact that Rowling chose to instead make his story about how his mother conceived him while she'd drugged his father with a love potion and that's why he's got the issues he does is just... gross. It's gross. I have no better word for it. I genuinely hate that whole plot point.

❤️: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom? (Besides Snape 🙈)

I feel like Lily is a lightning rod for people's personal emotional projections. And it makes sense she would be, since she's both a crucial character, and yet barely present. We know next to nothing about her, which makes it easy, in a way, to come up with headcanons. I do find it problematic, though, when people take the small snippets of her that we see and use them as justifications for fully formed opinions. It really bothers me when I see hot takes that focus on Lily almost smiling in SWM and interpret it as if she had laughed out loud heartily and was entertained by the bullying, because it's selectively judgmental and also ignores that she'd spent the entire scene until then standing up for Snape. It's not that I have any particular affection for Lily (if anything, I feel she's a poorly written character whose vaguely portrayed persona is a testament to the wisp of smoke JK Rowling's feminism proves itself to be again and again). I just get really bothered by inaccuracy. It's selective and biased to ignore her previous actions in that scene, and it feels juvenile, immature, and problematic to boil down what is written as a complex friendship we only see a few brief moments of as something for us, the reader, to choose sides in and vilify a participant of. That's not how people are. No one is fully good or fully bad. People make mistakes, especially when they're young, and even if they have faults, there's more to examine and be curious about with a character than whether or not you should love or hate them. Not to mention that Lily (and James for that matter) didn't have the chance to grow as people because they died when they were young. But in general this sums up the issue I have with the fandom and how it mischaracterizes a lot of characters: there's no empathy and no curiosity, only teams and bickering. Which is boring and depressing, frankly (I keep trying to be nice about how I say this but tbh I'm really tired of it and of sugar coating it).

[impishtubist]

Yes to the James bullying Sirius into doing Quidditch for one term, and Sirius simply not caring!! L My hc is that he was kicked off the team after SWM, as ‘punishment’, which he probably found deeply amusing.

The only other person Sirius will indulge in sports for, is Harry, of course. Cue outraged (but not really surprised) James, that Sirius is willing to spend hours and hours on a broom because Harry needs someone to practice with…

Yes, all of this! Sirius is excellent at Quidditch and it drives James up the wall, because he doesn't care about the sport. How can someone who is that good not care about it??? James weeps. And then when Sirius gets kicked off the team, he just laughs, while James knows that if he lost Quidditch privileges, he would simply lose the will to live.

And yes, Sirius goes up on a broomstick and plays Quidditch every time Harry asks him to, which just makes James scream internally (even though he is not surprised, Harry 100% has Sirius wrapped around his little finger).

How to Train Your Team to Follow SWMS Effectively?

Ensuring your team follows a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) effectively isn’t just about ticking a box — it’s about keeping everyone safe on-site. A well-implemented construction SWMS can prevent accidents, improve efficiency, and create a strong safety culture. But getting your team to take it seriously requires more than just handing them a document. Here’s how you can make it work:

1. Lead by Example

If you want your team to follow safety protocols, you need to show them that you take construction SWMS seriously. Follow the guidelines yourself, wear the right PPE, and always emphasize the importance of safety in daily operations. When workers see leadership prioritizing SWMS, they are more likely to do the same.

2. Make Training Engaging

Let’s be honest — long, boring safety sessions won’t keep your team engaged. Instead of just reading from a document, use real-life case studies, on-site demonstrations, and interactive discussions. Hands-on training will help them understand why SWMS matters, not just what it says.

3. Encourage Open Communication

Your team should feel comfortable asking questions or raising concerns about safety procedures. Encourage discussions and feedback on the construction SWMS process. Sometimes, the people on the ground have valuable insights on how to improve safety measures.

4. Use Visual Aids

Many workers learn better with visuals rather than long documents. Use clear signage, checklists, and step-by-step guides to reinforce SWMS procedures. A simple reminder on a notice board or a quick reference chart can make a big difference.

5. Conduct Regular Refreshers

Don’t treat SWMS training as a one-time event. Safety procedures evolve, and workers may forget crucial details over time. Schedule regular toolbox talks and refresher sessions to keep SWMS at the forefront of everyone’s mind.

6. Hold Everyone Accountable

Safety is a shared responsibility. Make sure every team member understands that following construction SWMS is not optional. Implement a system where workers can report unsafe practices without fear of repercussions. Recognize and reward those who follow safety guidelines diligently.

7. Adapt to Different Learning Styles

Not everyone learns the same way. Some workers may prefer hands-on training, while others learn best through written instructions or videos. Offering multiple training formats can improve understanding and compliance.

8. Make It Personal

Sometimes, safety rules feel like just another company policy. But when you remind your team that these guidelines protect their own lives, their coworkers, and their families, they’ll be more likely to take them seriously. No one wants to be responsible for a preventable accident.

Final Thoughts

Training your team to follow construction SWMS effectively takes time and effort, but it’s worth it. A well-trained team is a safe, confident, and productive team. By fostering a culture of safety, you’re not just complying with regulations — you’re ensuring that every worker goes home safe at the end of the day.

Prepare for 2025: How Year-End Safety Audits Can Streamline Your SWMS Updates

As we step into 2025, the construction and high-risk industries have a critical task at hand: ensuring their safety practices are robust, relevant, and ready for the year ahead. A year-end safety audit is more than just a compliance exercise — it’s an opportunity to identify risks, improve processes, and align your Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) with the latest standards. Whether you’re working on construction SWMS or electrical SWMS, a thorough audit can save time, reduce hazards, and ensure a seamless transition into the new year.

Why Are Year-End Safety Audits Important?

Closing out the year with a safety audit might seem like an added task in an already busy season. However, it’s essential for several reasons:

Staying Compliant: Australian safety regulations are rigorous, and non-compliance can lead to heavy penalties. An audit ensures your construction SWMS and electrical SWMS meet these requirements.

Minimizing Risks: By identifying gaps in your current processes, you can address potential hazards before they escalate into serious issues.

Improving Operations: Audits offer insights that help refine your practices, making your workplace safer and more efficient.

Protecting Your Workforce: A thorough audit ensures that workers are equipped with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to operate safely.

What to Focus On During Your Safety Audit

To get the most out of your audit, pay close attention to these essential components:

Review Your SWMS Documentation

Ensure your SWMS are accurate and up-to-date.

Confirm that all tasks, risks, and controls are clearly outlined and relevant to current projects.

Evaluate Training Records

Check that every team member has completed mandatory safety training.

Document any additional training required for specific roles or tasks.

Examine the machinery and equipment.

Verify that every piece of equipment and tool is in safe operating condition.

Anything that exhibits wear or damage should be replaced or repaired.

Examine Incident Documents

Examine last year’s occurrences and near-misses to find any recurring problems.

Use these insights to update SWMS and mitigate future risks.

Conduct Site-Specific Risk Assessments

Adjust your safety precautions to each project site’s particular threats.

Update SWMS to reflect these findings.

How Your Audit Can Simplify SWMS Updates

The data collected during your audit is invaluable for refining your SWMS. Here’s how it helps:

Targeted Improvements: Use audit findings to address specific risks and weaknesses in your SWMS.

Relevance and Clarity: Ensure your construction SWMS and electrical SWMS align with the actual tasks and hazards your team faces.

Increased Efficiency: Streamline workflows by eliminating redundant steps or updating outdated practices.

Stronger Accountability: Assign clear responsibilities for implementing and monitoring updated SWMS.

Proactive Compliance: Use audit data to match with new safety standards and stay ahead of regulatory changes.

Overcoming Challenges in SWMS Updates

Updating your SWMS can feel overwhelming, but understanding and addressing the challenges can make the process smoother:

Engaging Your Team: Change can often be met with resistance. Involve your workers early by explaining the importance of SWMS updates. This ensures they understand how the changes enhance safety and improve workflow.

Making Complicated Procedures Simpler: The documentation for SWMS can be complex. To simplify and digitize the updating process, divide it into smaller, more manageable parts and make use of digital tools.

Managing Time Constraints: Time is often a limiting factor. Begin your audits well ahead of deadlines and create a timeline that includes specific milestones for reviewing and updating SWMS.

Adapting to Regulatory Shifts: Safety rules are constantly changing. To guarantee compliance, be updated by following developments from regulatory agencies and interacting with professionals in the field.

Taking Care of Limited Resources: If your staff lacks the capacity or knowledge to undertake rigorous updates, consider engaging external experts who specialize in SWMS creation and audits.

President wenst duidelijke targets van Landelijk Woningbouw Programma

De stuurgroep en het projectbureau van het Landelijk Woningbouwprogramma (LWBP), hebben op vrijdag 22 maart 2024 een update gegeven aan president Chandrikapersad Santokhi over het verloop van het LWBP-fase 1 en het Affordable Housing Project (AHP). Mark Rommy en Pertap Bissumbar respectievelijk van het projectbureau en de stuurgroep, hielden presentaties waarin ze de vorderingen en knelpunten van de diverse woningbouwprogramma’s bespraken. Rommy gaf te kennen dat op Reeberg in april driehonderd kavels vrijkomen waarop de regering kan starten met het bouwen van woningen voor de samenleving. Het AHP kent volgens hem een vlot verloop in zowel Nickerie als in Paramaribo. Van de 3775 woonoplossingen zijn al meer dan 2600 gerealiseerd. President Santokhi gaf aan een concrete tijdlijn te willen zien voor de afronding van de eerste fase van het LWBP, waarbij de focus gelegd moet worden op de aanleg en het begaanbaar maken van wegen, plaatsing van nutsvoorzieningen en het bouwrijp maken van de percelen. Hij nodigde de directie van SWM en EBS uit om na te gaan of de lopende bouwprojecten afgestemd zijn op de behoefte aan water en energie. Er moeten volgens het staatshoofd duidelijke targets gesteld worden en alles wat niet realiseerbaar is in de komende vijftien maanden, verschoven dient te worden. Hij ziet graag dat er na de vijftien maanden nog tweeduizend extra woonoplossingen aangeboden kunnen worden. “Alles wat uitvoerbaar is, moeten we doen in deze eerste fase. Ik weet dat er consequenties eraan verbonden zullen zijn, maar laten we alvast opleveren wat we kunnen opleveren”, richtte de president zich tot de teams. Hij maakte duidelijk dat er met de beschikbare middelen vanuit de Inter-Amerikaanse Ontwikkelingsbank (IDB) en het Saoedische Fonds de projecten, die afgerond kunnen worden, afgerond dienen te worden met prioriteit aan districten Wanica en Paramaribo. Het staatshoofd vroeg aan de woningbouwteams om de komende week weer bij elkaar te zitten en een finaal plan te maken waarin de focus gelegd moet worden op het afronden van fase 1 van alle lopende projecten. De LWBP-stuurgroep, het LWBP-projectbureau, de ministeries van Financiën en Planning, Openbare Werken en Sociale Zaken en Volkshuisvesting gaan samen zitten met het technisch bureau om de laatste inzichten met elkaar te delen, waarna het finaal plan gepresenteerd zal worden. Bij de meeting zaten onder andere aan: de minister van Financiën en Planning Stanley Raghoebarsing, technisch directeur van de Energiebedrijven Suriname (EBS) Marcel Eyndhoven, en de directeur van de Surinaamse Waterleiding Maatschappij (SWM) Clifton Lienga.   Read the full article

❤️: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom? (Besides Snape 🙈)

I feel like Lily is a lightning rod for people's personal emotional projections. And it makes sense she would be, since she's both a crucial character, and yet barely present. We know next to nothing about her, which makes it easy, in a way, to come up with headcanons. I do find it problematic, though, when people take the small snippets of her that we see and use them as justifications for fully formed opinions. It really bothers me when I see hot takes that focus on Lily almost smiling in SWM and interpret it as if she had laughed out loud heartily and was entertained by the bullying, because it's selectively judgmental and also ignores that she'd spent the entire scene until then standing up for Snape. It's not that I have any particular affection for Lily (if anything, I feel she's a poorly written character whose vaguely portrayed persona is a testament to the wisp of smoke JK Rowling's feminism proves itself to be again and again). I just get really bothered by inaccuracy. It's selective and biased to ignore her previous actions in that scene, and it feels juvenile, immature, and problematic to boil down what is written as a complex friendship we only see a few brief moments of as something for us, the reader, to choose sides in and vilify a participant of. That's not how people are. No one is fully good or fully bad. People make mistakes, especially when they're young, and even if they have faults, there's more to examine and be curious about with a character than whether or not you should love or hate them. Not to mention that Lily (and James for that matter) didn't have the chance to grow as people because they died when they were young. But in general this sums up the issue I have with the fandom and how it mischaracterizes a lot of characters: there's no empathy and no curiosity, only teams and bickering. Which is boring and depressing, frankly (I keep trying to be nice about how I say this but tbh I'm really tired of it and of sugar coating it).

🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?

Honestly what comes to mind is actually something that I think is technically canon - that Tom Riddle was an evil sociopath because he was the product of a love potion and rape. For one thing, his mother loved his father, so it's not like he was the product of an entirely loveless union, she was just emotionally scarred by her abusive family. For another, the metaphor there is, essentially, that children who are the product of rape are damaged in some way - that there's something wrong with them. I think if the story had been that Riddle turned out sociopathic and selfish and vicious because he grew up an orphan in a place where he wasn't taken care of and no one cared about him, that would be a significant and valuable statement on government institutional failings and trauma. Rowling didn't have to make it about motherhood, but that's a choice she makes again and again: judging female characters based on their relationship with maternality. Young Tom Riddle's secretive behavior, anxiety over death that follows him into adulthood, and distrust of adults are red flags for abuse and/or trauma. The fact that Rowling chose to instead make his story about how his mother conceived him while she'd drugged his father with a love potion and that's why he's got the issues he does is just... gross. It's gross. I have no better word for it. I genuinely hate that whole plot point.

🤍: Which character is not as morally bad as everyone else seems to think?

Tbh this answer is less about who isn't as morally bad as people seem to think, and more about whose immorality I can maybe understand (I had a hard time coming up with an answer, ok?). And it's Pettigrew. Obligatory preface: I still think he was deplorable for the things he did, and the fact he went looking for Voldemort instead of using his opportunity to stow away on a ship or a plane as a rat and go to the Americas or Australia and live a quiet, non-murder-abetting life. What I can understand, though, is his choice when he was what, 20 years old? and approached by Voldemort to be a spy and accept the job instead of, you know, being killed. Because while I think he should have understood that his spying would affect the entire wizarding world and cost countless lives, I can also see him seething for years at how James and Sirius treated him like dirt and relishing the opportunity to get back at them. That a kid who grew up in the shadow of "friends" like that has a limited ability to want to protect others and is out for number one. I can understand that if he was a small, overlooked guy whose friends talked down to him when all he wanted was their approval and validation, then what Voldemort was offering him was the potential of a moment where he could be the one to look down at them, and to say, "who's the idiot now?" Again, I don't think he was close to being ethical, or moral, or good, but I think he's complex enough that I can understand why he made some of the choices he did. And he was probably too young to understand that once you make that kind of choice, to help end a life, you can't go back. You will be changed by it irrevocably, if that means the part of you that feels remorse has to shut down for you to survive, then that's what happens. I think Pettigrew isn't thought of much in this fandom, and is often dismissed as an immoral villain, but I think that he's still maybe a bit less horrible than people make him out to be when you look at his complexities.
