Wednesday Afternoon Music
THE POLITICS OF DANCING…. Probably the ultimate 80’s song….everything about this song is early 80’s…that’s my opinon. Very hard to find out more about this band. I did a deep dive on YT and found a bunch of stuff I will post below the video..give it a listen, its fantastic!!! I even like the idea behind the video…here is a pretty good cover with some sweet guitar! And this is why I love YT –…

Gentle reminder to UK folks that if you don't like Labour there is no better election than this one to vote for a third party or independent who actually stands for what you believe in.
Every major poll is predicting a Labour landslide and a total collapse of the Tory party. The only reason to tactically vote Labour to "keep the Tories out" is if in exactly your seat the Tories (or worse Reform) are projected to be first or second place and no one else is close - but in a lot of seats the predicted second is not the Tories, it's Lib Dems or SNP or in some places even Greens, and that gives you the freedom to vote for what you believe in because the Tories aren't gonna get that seat anyway.
Remember: UK is not the US, and despite all that Labour and the Tories try to do this is not a two-party state. Vote pragmatically, yes, and mindful of harm reduction, but be rational and informed as well.
#usual caveats that voting is not and should not be your only political engagement#it is in fact the least effective form of political engagement#but it takes half an hour and it can have an impact on the lives of the most vulnerable and in need#if you can make a sandwich even if it doesn't directly lead to the establishment of world communism you can do the same for a ballot paper#just don't forget to go and do some real politics once the electoral song and dance is over#politics#.txt#uk politics#uk elections

professional chinese cosplay-wig makers displays her products (cr: AAAA专业理发彩妆师琦姐)
#china#video#douyin#xhs#dance#fun#someone asked op why she didn't dance with a wig on#others replied that holding it in your hand is much bigger movement#plus it's a buyer's order and no one else is allowed to wear it#cnetizens call professional women who have crafts skills for popular items in fandoms as “item+娘niang”#for eg 妆娘zhuangniang for makeup artists who do makeup for cosplayers or chinese hanfuers etc#簪娘zanniang for handmade hairpin maker#毛娘maoniang for handmade wig maker#It's a polite and and endearing term#music#loud warning

actually i think if you have high approval with vivienne during wicked eyes and wicked hearts and you manage to get 100 court approval, there should be an option to dance with her that is seperate from the balcony scene. not for romance reasons but just for her own political plotting reasons. bastien is dying and the inquisitor is a new source of power, and they just ended the civil war. orlais loves them. she should be able to publicly plot a little and show orlais that she has the inquisitor's favor. as a treat just for her.
#dai#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#vivienne#vivienne de fer#da:i#aka im fic writing again#fic in question does have romantic undertones but the dance is more for political reasons than romantic for vivienne#literally a physical showing of allyship between the biggest power in southern thedas at that moment and vivienne. orlais cant touch her#anymore. not when she has them.

"rhaenys could have ended the war by dracarysing all the greens right there" yes because a distant relation to the throne deciding to barbecue an anointed and publicly positively hailed king and his entire family who is well loved within the city and in multiple other parts of the country for the sake of the succession of a far-away princess no one was ever on board with who hasn't been seen by the populace in literal years, her psycho husband, her three obvious bastards, and two toddlers from the psycho husband would go over super well with westeros and especially in king's landing where scores of the still-cheering population were killed for no reason by that same dragon who would do the barbecuing, because when targaryens act unilaterally without thinking of how the people would react there's never any problem, which is why the storming of the dragonpit and robert's rebellion were actually just collective delusions dreamed up by readers who hate rhaenyra and not key parts of the story and house targaryen's history that directly contributed to their demise and are intrinsic to the plot
truly team black stans are made up of only the most genius and media literate amongst us
#personal#house of the dragon#anti team black#i mean i guess??#like the crowd was cheering for aegon HARD#and they were always on board with aegon#and the hightowers are a powerful house with a lot of allies#and alicent and helaena specifically were well loved by the people in king's landing and the realm at large#and none of them ever liked rhaenyra or daemon who again have been MIA for basically a decade already#and again targaryens overreaching their power and not taking the people into account#is the reason why their house fell into oblivion and now rests entirely on a FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL WHO IS THE ONLY ONE LEFT#if she roasted the dais the mob wouldn't have even let her leave they'd have killed her and meleys both in a heartbeat#storming of the dragonpit but a couple months earlier#the thing to remember is that i think a lot of team black stans are just kinda stupid#and do not care about the story at all or the actual intricacies of the world and its politics that is so important to the dance#(remember the rumors of rhaenyra mistreating helaena and alicent literally led to rhaenyra's death)#(because it led to the mobs and the storming of the dragonpit and the death of joffrey and her being driven out)#(and thus having to go to dragonstone where sunfyre got a little meal out of the whole debacle good for him)#(along with all of her ten million other shitty political decisions)#how do you profess to be pro-targaryen without even knowing targaryen history and where they erred and how that ended them#like *i* like the targaryens you guys have heard me talk about the conquerors all the livelong day#but i am also smart and i understand the world george created and the concept of repercussions#anyway yeah i am Annoyed at that new daemon clip (wow what a shock something annoyed me and had daemon in it)#(my least favorite character who could have foreseen this)

January 7, 2023
It’s finally over. After days of negotiations and 14 failed ballots—the most since 1860—Republican Kevin McCarthy was officially elected speaker of the House early Saturday morning. In exchange for the necessary votes to get him elected, the congressman had to beg, barter, and plead with a group of hardline Republicans who held out for a litany of concessions.
Since Wednesday, McCarthy and his supporters have been negotiating with several far-right GOPers, including some who have been implicated in Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, as my colleague Dan Friedman previously reported. House members like Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), and Scott Perry (R-Pa.) all held out on their votes, until McCarthy eventually won them over.
According to CNN, here’s what the holdouts got from McCarthy in exchange for the speakership:
Any member can call for a motion to vacate the speaker’s chair

I put them next to each other casually without much thought, but I've had to redraw them in this set up so many different times in the development of this project that I kinda ship them now??? like why are they always lookin at each other like that
#my art#vampire debutante#they dont even have names#but its funny in the very vague concept of these twos characters yellow is like the hunk that all their peers are kind of obsessed with#tiara and niamh even fight over him sometimes(for status reasons not cuz theyre into him)#but i was imagining red as like a bit dorky but sweet#girls arent into him really but they dont turn him down when he asks to dance or tries to make polite conversation#in an earlier draft i was gonna have a bit where Niamh and Tiara are both vying for red's attention and Niamh wins so they dance#Tiara's only other option then is red who isnt as hunky as yellow (L for her) as she needs a dancing partner to show up niamh with#but i didnt wanna animate the stupid little dance battle so i didnt do that#now the boys are just hanging#but the fact that i keep drawing yellow making eyes at red is so funny like thats just supposed to be his default expression but#do you think hes really into red and half of his showboating is just to try and get this dweebs attention but literally nothing works#meanwhile red's just sorta accepted his role as the dweeb that no one's into#oh my god

him trying to get pedro and jorge to dance with him on the podium and them saying FUCK no with the detached politeness only a distant workplace acquaintance can muster… girl you may win grand prixs and championships but your peers are NEVER gonna play with you at recess and for that i am sorry
#the world where alex and him do a choreographed little dance that they’ve had memorized since they were seven on the podium…#and instead he gets polite smile no-ed by a twenty year oldddd#motogp#callie speaks#to be clear they should have said no he was being CRINGE
