Something interesting I've noticed about conversion stories is many people seem to have both a rebellious streak and a deep-seated, insatiable desire to learn everything.

One of my shul's well-respected members (who runs the hebrew/judaism class that will start soon) talked about how, when he lived in my town, he would sneak out of the house just to go to shul. That's what I'm doing now, and it's funny (I'm not sneaking out per se, but I am also not telling anybody I'm going to shul). There's an aspect of free-spiritedness that I notice in many converts, and it's fascinating to hear each of their stories. And you know the funniest part? They sound like my story.

I think it’s so beautiful how the entire diverse f1 fandom who will claw each other’s skin to shreds over the smallest things will agree on one thing: Helmut Marko needs to retire and get out.

so of course I then thought about Impa some more, and about how the way I write impa is: everybody around her is like this all of the time

moving truck secrets

ok here's the thing — and this is just for you,

between you and me, only for our eyes to see:

once you're lonely, you never leave.

when you're raised with loneliness as your only

friend, that's not something you lose easily.

there will always be a hole inside you and it's

not gonna go away

it's like the one piece of the jigsaw puzzle that

always goes missing

you don't know it's there or not until you get to

the end and by then it's like the only thing you

can see

loneliness doesn't go away.

it doesn't move on like you or me, pick up

houses and carry boxes down to the street to

be taken away in some car or moving truck

that's about to leave.

it stays with you. it haunts you. or at least, it

does for me.

and like when you think about it that way, we

might be lonely. but we aren't as alone in it as

we think, actually. but this is a secret. between

you and me. it's a secret because you have to

believe it before you can pass it on. you have to

learn it and know it before you can give it away.

you have to realize it's true. accept that it really

is this way. and then you can turn to someone

else and say:

here's the thing. between you and me...

WELCOME TO THE KANECO FAMILY. 🏙️ - a motorcity mix for Detroit Deluxe ✨

Coming to you live from the City Of The Future - where it's safe and clean and the sun always shines! Founded by your great visionary leader, Abraham Kane, KaneCo's innovation saved a crumbling Detroit from catastrophe and will continue to[WAKE UP. RESIST. WAKE UP. RESIST. WAKE UP-]

helloooooo again guess who's been obsessing over another overly-long playlist for my favorite dead fandom :)))

here come the black mirror/1984 vibes! 👀 where the MIKE & MOTORCITY! mix was all loud kickass rock 'n' roll rebellion, this companion playlist for Deluxe has more of a "character arc" to it - starting off in shiny synthwave heaven, settling into corporate monotony, then slowly peeling back the layers to uncover the dark backstory and dystopian truth underneath in moody beats and epic cinematic pop... (featuring some implied Kane tragedy and one sad Jacob song lol)

but all is not lost! as the Burners chip away at Kane's control and more Deluxians see the truth and escape, the two cities begin to affect each other more...and Motorcity has a few things to teach the kids up top about stickin' it to The Man when it's needed most.

especially when it gets scary. ✊

i don't think I've told anyone irl this so on tumblr it goes but i was just remembering how it was kind of healing to hook up with some guy when i was home at my parents' last Christmas holidays bc all of my memories in my hometown are as a (non-gay) girl and my parents don't see me as a (gay) man so idk sometimes getting fucked during the Christmas holidays by a hot stranger off grindr can be so affirming

Has anyone in this Olympics women's boxing argument ever stopped and thought about whether it would make any sense for women to be more susceptible to being injured in boxing than men? Like sure, it's a fairly common assumption that men are physically stronger than women, and therefore a man would have an advantage at boxing because he can punch harder... But how would that make you more resilient to being punched in the nose? Like I would think the assumed advantage would be that women can't hit as hard and therefore would require more effort to take someone down, but what everyone is arguing over is a woman having her nose broken from a punch to the face, when a man's nose would be just as broken from the same punch. Women don't have like, daintier and weaker facial bones or something. Being punched in the face "by a man" when you're a woman is literally no different than being punched in the face by the same person as a man. If we are to assume that men (note: the person being debated about here isn't a man or even a trans woman, she is cisgender, but I digress) are so Herculean that their punches are just too dangerous for women, then men's boxing should be banned outright because it's just too dangerous for men to be punching each other with that strength when a punch to the face is exactly the same for a man as it is to a woman.

𝐂𝐋𝐗𝐈𝐗. Addressing the matter of Khaenri'ah practising espionage in more than one country on private makes me think about how widely-spread that was not only in the vicinities of the door to Khaenri'ah and the immediate parts of Sumeru or Enkanomiya alone, but also the lost empire of Al-Ahmar, the civilization that existed in Tsurumi Island, the region of Araumi and the depths of Seirai Island in Inazuma, places where we find Ruin Guards and other kinds of automatons of Khaenri'ahn making purposefully enclosed behind intricate portals of puzzles that can only be undone from the outside and not the inside by the same automatons.

Happy Pride! We went down to Disney Springs and rainbow capitalism was out in full force, which tbh was nice to see in these times

Re: the last reblog about my self-indulgent Jyn/f!Cassian fic, it also feels extremely on-brand that the title comes from the chorus of one of Pat Benatar's schmaltzier songs. I regret nothing!

The chorus in question:

We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder, We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under. Whatever we deny or embrace, for worse or for better, We belong, we belong, we belong together.

🔥+ opera

love the fact that two of the three of these asks i got were exactly the same prompt, lol. anyway i'm gonna say it: i like it when operas have repetition in their arias and recurring motifs throughout the opera!! #bringbackthedacapo. and i like having distinct sections of recit and aria. late romantic and modernist stans dni i guess...i simply think that the music is better when it's memorable sorry 💖

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and funding a genocide, and belittling and crushing those who have enough morality to protest it. It is enraging that the Democrats are so smug and blind to this. But these are all just symptoms. The deeper reality is that liberalism has failed, liberalism is dead, and people urgently need to wake up to this fact and respond accordingly. It is a defunct ideology that cannot offer any meaningful solutions to our social and ecological crises and it must be abandoned. Democrats have proven over and over again that they cannot accept even basic steps like public healthcare, affordable housing, and a public job guarantee - things that would dramatically improve the material, social and political conditions of the working classes. And they cannot accept a public finance strategy that would steer production away from fossil fuels and toward green transition to give us a shot at a liveable future. Why? Because these things run against the objectives of capital accumulation. And for liberals capital is sacrosanct. They will do whatever it takes to ensure elite accumulation, it is their only consistent commitment. At home, they suppress and demonize progressive and socialist tendencies. Abroad, they engage in endless wars and violence to suppress input prices in the global South and prevent any possibility of sovereign economic development. The Democrats have done all this purposefully and knowingly, for my whole life, not as some kind of "mistake" but in full consciousness that it is in the interests of capital. And because liberalism cannot address our crises, and because it crushes socialist alternatives, it inevitably paves the way for right-wing populism. They know this pattern, and yet they risk it every time - this election being only the most recent example. They did it in 2016, when they actively crushed the Sanders campaign and sent Trump to the White House. They do it because ultimately they (and I mean the liberal ruling class here) don't really mind if fascists take power, so long as the latter too ensure the conditions for capital accumulation. They 100% prefer this to the possibility of a socialist alternative. So, progressives have to face reality. The dream of "converting" the Democratic party is dead. This is now a fact and it must be accepted. The only option is to build a mass-based movement that can reclaim the working classes and mobilize a political vehicle that can integrate disparate progressive struggles into a unified and formidable political force and achieve substantive transformation. This will take real work, actual organizing, but it must be done and that process must begin now.

do think the most effective way to solidify the prophet+the very heavy handed metaphor going on w them is to make it so they are COMPLETELY just possessing their own corpse with no supernatural abilities or anything but also. i want to get a bit goofy with it still :(

i feel like literally everyone aside from white people from anglophone countries are allowed to make fun of europe. there's like ten million valid reasons i can list like literally any of the problems are shared or paralleled very closely (in regards to social attitudes or systemic/cultural racism etc) or like "hqha thats literally your grandpa" but honestly its mostly becsuse its so unfunny
