I do not believe anyone is homeless, which is to say that so long as people are alive they have a home within themselves, and I recognize that this home may be a precious anchor. Unhoused people may also have a physical home somewhere that they are unable to safely or comfortably return to and/or have strong memories of or ties to a home. I do not wish to lessen that connection.

"Minimum wage" was plenty for living on before housing became a speculators market, cars had to comply with unhinged requirements, and the dollar became a defacto unbacked world reserve currency

Using inflation measures from the period, the $1.30 minimum wage in 1969 translates to almost EIGHTY FUCKING DOLLARS AND HOUR in 2022. I am NOT saying minimum wage should be $80 an hour, I am saying that the wage isn't the problem, it's a symptom

Have you always been that height? Have you always leaned a little when you stand? Have you always smiled a little lopsided when you see me again?

[teaboot]

you are so weirdly dedicated to making flowery sympathy posts for demographics such as "masculine men" and "cops and security officers who stop people from shoplifting". have you noticed that?

You must be new

a prof in the department retired last year and was like just raid my office for whatever you want idc im not cleaning it out so it was like book whalefall. and because nobody in my department cares about theory i got to take all of his books on states and revolutions. I’m finally getting around to looking through them and he had some gooooood fucking books dude, I got Lineages of the Absolutist State by Perry Anderson, States and Social Revolutions by Theda Skocpol, Social Origins of Dictatorships and Democracies by Barrington Moore Jr, an edited collection on apartheid, and a book about settler colonial policy in Canada

danny and officer martinez's relationship in "late at night, when the nightingale sings" in a nutshell:

Martinez: FREAK! GET YOUR FUCKING KID!

Battinson, on the other side of the crime scene: he don't bite

Martinez, with Nightingale firmly attached his arm, visibly biting him: YES HE DO!

*points at them* Danny is the Bugs Bunny to Martinez's Elmer Fudd.

Another Officer: i can't believe you're fighting with an actual twelve year old. Martinez: i swear to god that is not a twelve year old, that is a little hellion that crawled out of batman's shadow one dark and stormy night and decided to dedicate his existence to tormenting me. Officer: Are you really that mad about him putting a sticky note on your back-- Martinez: thats not the point

in danny's defense: the word "freak" is. a mini beserker button for him for.... obvious ghostly reasons, so like, even if its not directed at him, he still very much unappreciates Martinez's insults at Battinson. Danny may or may not be projecting.

he's not going to hurt the guy! not in any serious or permanently disfiguring way at least! But he is going to leave mean sticky notes on the square part of his spine that he can't reach, and stick salt in his 3AM Late Night Crime Scene Coffee, and kick the bottom of his heel while he's walking so he stumbles. And other petty, infuriating things that tally up and boil over, over time.

this is so funny i knew eoin said he thought gwaine got up and went on his merry way with a concussion and zero recollection of the entire series but i didn't know he got super excited about making a short film about it. it's kind of a huge-brained idea actually since gwaine's character arc starts out with a concussion. mr macken please this could be your magnum opus there is still time

Ruler of my heart is a song about obsession, devotion, in almost the religious sense as you look up to the person as a god in your life, your only person.

There is hesitance in Mizi and Luka's ruler of my heart as Mizi is still grieving Sua, just on the cusp of breaking, and Luka is manipulating her into falling into his whims, directly pressing on that wound. In Sua's version of Ruler of My Heart, she is Mizi's god. The song expresses her etherealness in the way she sings.

But in HyunA's version of Ruler of My Heart, she sounds more wistful and distracted like she's reminiscing. Her tone isn't strong like her personality, she sings softly and deeply like a murmur, in the solace of her own mind she doesn't feel as free as she is. She still feels stuck in the past. Luka still lingers in her mind even after all these years, in this song, too, his voice lingers in the background just barely as if he’s haunting her. HyunA sings ROMH with such an air of disinterest, yet she breaks at certain moments when it's so obvious she's thinking about Hyunwoo, her only person.

She's also thinking about Luka. HyunA is obviously mad at Luka, mad might not even be a strong enough word for just how angry she was, he's the reason she lost her brother after all, how could he take him from her and dare to try and take his place, as if he could be her everything like hyunwoo was, as if he could heal her. She wishes she would've never met him at all, but while singing, she sounds melancholic because that day, she didn't just lose her brother. She lost Luka too.

The anniversary covers feel like foreshadowing for each of the characters' stories, so in Round 7 I think there will be a moment to address this lingering ache, but I'm not sure just how it will play out...probably not anything good (due to my doubts)

NOW IM SO EXCITED TO HEAR THEIR VOICES EDITED TOGETHER I WILL DIE

AU where Loki doesn’t interfere with Thor’s banishment at all and it takes Thor years to prove himself worthy and when he returns to Asgard everything is just. The same. Nothing seems to have changed at all and everyone greets him like his absence was a minor obstacle that didn’t fundamentally change Thor and the worst part is Loki stepped down from the place as regent without any delay and Thor can’t help but feel there’s something underlaying the way his brother looks at him now and won’t let him touch him and Thor doesn’t know what he could have missed because he doesn’t think he would have found anything wrong with the things around him and how everyone behaves if he hadn’t spent time on Earth reflecting.

I wish I could also be there when so many people drew Errorcore, again, a me thing, but I really wish Errorcore can have more.

It's still great, even though it's not so consistent, the current artists that are still drawing them, I love all of their arts.

For example, @kolbiewa in Frans Week this year! Oh I love her ideasssssss

She's the besttt

Jimmy killing himself because he knows he is incapable of living an life without Curly and knows that in the miracle chance they were found and saved they would not let him have contact with Curly and he hates the idea he'd actually have to take responsibility.

Even if he lied, its only a matter of time before Curly is capable of showing or telling what a monster he really is, no matter what delusions tell Jimmy Curly would never do that to him.

He understands that he was the monster in everyone's worse moments but refused to accept that at the end. So he made sure that he died without the possibility of it being actualized as he's the only one that saw death as an escape rather than a release. Jimmy truly didn't believe Curly had anything to escape from even after everything and let him have what he perceived as glory as the sole survivor and thus Captain of the Tulpar.

“Believe victims” =/= “immediately pursue punitive justice against an accused perpetrator”

I feel like the Primaris should have been the catalyst for like, an imperial civil war. At the very least, much unrest in the house of Guilliman. Their existence, let alone rollout/integration, should have had many chapters absolutely rioting. It should be beyond the pale by several orders of magnitude and be seen as an enormous overreach by the more autonomy loving chapters, a blasphemy by the more orthodox chapters, and an existential threat to chapters with geneseed quirks. Plus anyone with any awareness of the thunder warriors should take one look at them and recognize the writing on the wall. Guilliman should absolutely recognize what they represent, what they imply. Like they're the leading wave of a paradigm shift that doesn't bode well for what came before. And I say this as someone who's not averse to Primaris, I just think they could've, should've, been a waaaay bigger deal. I know they loathe changing the status quo and we're never getting rid of the posterboys but I think we missed out on something interesting.

Okay, but

Sammy totally got ostracized from her family for being gay didn't she

The state of the league of villains during act 3 is so sad man. Compress literally gave his ass for the league, got arrested and nobody gaf. Twice’s demise amounted to nothing, nobody cared. The whole discrimination arc Spinner was involved in was a mess. Suddenly Hori decided he cared about realism in his story so Toga dropped like a fly from a simple blood transfusion. Dabi is forced to sit and listen to Endeavor whine and yap about how sad he is about being an abusive pos, all the while nobody actually cares and he never got any real repercussions besides his family being (justifyingly) mean to him. Shigaraki was sidelined for a boring villain and was stripped off all his autonomy and agency.

My laptop is on it's last leg

Hey y'all i don't really know how to make this fancier or whatever, and i'm too exhausted to. But my 5+ year old laptop is dying and it's my only source of income at the moment. I had a deal before to pay for half of a new laptop but that deal fell through so i have to pay for the whole thing myself.

I currently have 300/1500$ needed to pay for it. I do have commissions open (only ns-fw options at the moment but I will be opening sfw soon, once I finish new examples).

Donations and boosting would be really helpful too!
