The reason I'm happy to see Chay and Lullah awake is both because I'm very fond of them, and also because this has to be a sign that things have changed, are still changing, behind the scenes. I'm of the belief that they are going to focus on paying the egg admins who've stayed and were chilling the whole time, and once they all get paid, work on getting the pay to the ones who left. Idk, I would rather look at this positively rather than negatively, as I've had too much negativity in my life just this month..

I should log the fuck off but like. The tyranny, the violence that you’re so terrified of? I’ve seen some of it up close. I’ve lived in the aftermath of a right wing coup. I’ve attended five funerals in the space of a week, of much-too-young men (with much-too-young children) who were killed by US government policy in a very real and direct way.

And then I have returned home to an election between Hillary Clinton - who openly bragged in her memoir of helping to facilitate said right-wing coup - and Donald Trump, whose entire campaign revolved around demonizing my former neighbors and friends, and promising to wield the violence of the American state against them and people like them. I have held my nose and voted for Hillary fucking Clinton, because I know a would-be fascist dictator when I see one and I understand what harm reduction is.

And then I have gone to immigration protest after immigration protest after immigration protest. In fact it’s no exaggeration to say that basically all of my human contact during the entire pandemic year was weekly immigration protests. I’ve stood up and argued against off-brand Richard Spencer fuckheads in city hall meetings and stared them down when they showed up to counter protest and intimidate. I have cried more tears than I’ve probably cried during the entire rest of my adult life over murdered and brutalized immigrant children who could so so so terrifyingly easily have been children that I personally know and love.

I’ve voted for Biden and hoped that he might keep his promises and dreaded that he wouldn’t - because I know what the Democratic party’s track record is, because I’ve worked with immigration activists who are many decades older than me and who have been betrayed over and over and over. I’ve watched over four years, sickened but not shocked, as the Biden administration did exactly that. I’ve watched Harris’ unbelievably callous response to asylum seekers fleeing for their lives (“Do not come”). I’ve watched as the New York Times and other media that screamed condemnation from the rooftops about Trump’s immigration policies justified those exact same policies with the tiniest bit of airbrushing, and anytime I criticized those policies I’ve gotten the predictable crowd of DNC fans having hysterics at me about how I must want Trump to win again. To my own shame I’ve been quieter than I probably should have been in my criticisms because I was so sick of dealing with those people.

And then I’ve held my nose and voted for Harris and STILL gotten accused of being a vote-abstaining traitor who should be deported the moment I expressed the tiniest ounce of frustration with the Democratic party - because you needed somewhere to put your rage, and you either don’t understand or (even more ghoulishly) don’t care what the violence of deportation entails, and because apparently anything less than choking myself on the DNC’s dick makes Donald Trump my fault.

I do not wish any of this on you, because I’m not a fucking monster.

Instead I wish you enough moral and mental and emotional clarity to understand exactly what it is that you’ve said, and enough scraps of conscience to regret it as you ought.

January sucks but I did knit 3 entire pairs of socks and started the month by finishing another pair

[thimblings]

ok so @teddywesworl i'm so glad you saw that last art because i thought about tagging you because it's legitimately your fics that have been one of the main driving forces behind my feeling feral about spite and lucanis (i was already, and then found your fics and was like "omg someone else gets it and gets it EVEN BETTER") thank you for the immense joy and pain you have brought me lmao

Idk gang. I've come into fandoms that haven't had new content in 15+ years before. While I hate what Bioware is pulling (always and forever tbh), it's not going to dissuade me from the story that is Dragon Age nor the people I've met in this fandom. They finally stopped kicking the proverbial horse because their fuckups and lackluster writing caused their own downfall. Please do not mistake this for a lack of empathy for those who have been unceremoniously sacked from their jobs. It's absolute rotten work. But the Dragon Age fandom and its creators/artists will surely give it the life and dimension they always have. As Harding's writer put it, Dragon Age is ours now. IP be damned.

from my own mind

[actuallylorelaigilmore]

this year has been So Much that i haven't even been able to settle my brain down long enough to fully post about why it has been So Much, so i'm proud of myself for just making it through and doing my best (even if i'm years behind on projects and movie reviews with no air in sight).

but at the same time, making it through the year also means i now have more credit card debt than a year's worth of my disability benefits? so that's...less good.
