To enhance the experience, I made clipped parts of the soundtrack by tnbee you should listen to: https://youtu.be/DZ4qLlzC0ic

Please DO NOT watch the video... Just loop the song for the 33550336th time with me. :3

I'm sorry but if Sami people can be understood as other-than-white and lighter featured First Nations people can be understood as other-than-white and individuals of our sisters the Romani when similarly afflicted by melanin deficiency can be understood as other-than-white....

Your classification of Jews, who span the whole gamut of color but share the racialization and experience of being othered among any majority, including whiteness in the north/west, is only further evidence of your racism. Because in doing so you continue to perpetuate double standards for Jewish people, which is dangerous when merged with perspectives that view whiteness as a merit signifier. Not that our identity isn't a fair bit older than this pretty reductive view, but

Regardless, I'll remind that the minority indigenous groups I mentioned are in the context of a white majority, but white people do not have a monopoly on colonialism. Plenty of people don't want to be called Arab in MENA and plenty of people aren't sure that they'd classify themselves as Chinese or Russian in the sense that the West views national identity. But that kind of nuance probably isn't something I should bother with if we haven't made it past point 1.

i didnt need nor want to carry around my whole pin cushion for my current on-the-go embroidery project, since its only one color at a time, it only requires one needle (its that eclipse i keep posting), so i constructed this needle coffin out of felt and magnets as a better and more portable solution to hold my needles.

do yall think constructs like. age? idk if a secunit has uhhh survived long enough to maybe truly answer that question but maybe a comfortunit has

does the cubicle/repair process like. replace organic tissue with young tissue? match or clone the tissue around it? i’m assuming that there’s some organic tissue, like neuro tissue, they have that is vital to function and not able to be replaced without straight up killing them

thoroughly enjoying the gax beef because it‘s such a nothing burger.

literally hair being pulled & eyes being scratched out over a pole in a race that was not meaningful for any of the teams or drivers championship standings. max got the maybe dumbest penatly in f1 history but he also got the pole back turn one & got the win. now george gets called a snake for what is just being professional in the workplace by not talking shit to the media even though he might have said some stuff behind closed doors which is just a way to try and gain a little advantage on track which is fair game & something all drivers do by complaining about others on the radio. also calling george an fia merchant is just hilarious since he is the one on the frontline of the fight against them right now.

i personally also love drivers being whiney & cunty over nothing much for no other reason than it being funny so just let them fight it out for a few days.

& even if it drags out to abu dhabi the seasons ends then & there and it will be forgotten by testing next year so they should just kiss & make up right (literally lol) now.

I too loved everything about Agatha and Rio this week ("she is my scar"--that's my shit!) but I do want to give flowers for how efficiently that relationship is connected to and contextualized by Alice's story.

Alice has spent a long time dismissing her mother and being angry at her, not seeing that Lorna worked as hard as she could to protect her. Agatha and Rio both immediately see it--Agatha is the one to put the pieces together, and Rio's the one who answers the question of "what were Lorna's intentions?" with "to save her daughter"--because, in some way, they are Lorna. They would do the exact same thing to try to protect their child (as we see Agatha desperately attempt to save/protect Teen later).

At the same time, like Alice, Agatha has retreated into anger to avoid grief. She doesn't, or refuses to, understand it was Rio's job to (presumably) reap Nicholas' soul. Alice has to "face" the curse and her own grief by the end of the episode, and likewise, Agatha has to face both her feelings for Rio and the truth about Teen.

This is just really smart writing; it weaves the themes of mothers and children throughout, has two parallel narratives about bridging an impossible gap in a relationship, and furthers the larger arcs of every character involved. Plus it's super gay.

(And they even throw in the bit about Jen's backstory as a midwife! More thematic weaving of motherhood and children--it makes a lot of sense that Agatha specifically would consider midwifery "important work" worth leaving someone alone for, as she said in Episode 3.)
