Summary: What starts out as a routine espionage mission of one Chester King, observed associate of Valentine, quickly turns into competing for a position that Alex isn't even sure he wants in the one spy organization that apparently doesn't recognize him for who he actually is. Or the one where Arthur should have done a background check.

My thoughts: Nice. Doesn't feel complete but idk.

We've Made Changing Your Mind Look Like a Flaw Instead of a Virtue

The internet has taught people to archive your opinions and weaponize your growth. If you evolve, you're a flip-flopper. If you admit uncertainty, you're weak. If you take time to rethink, you're stalling.

So people fake certainty to avoid punishment.

Intellectual honesty, though, requires change. If your views haven't changed in ten years, that says less about your clarity than it says about your lack of reflection.

It's true that there's no practicable way to frame "style theft" as an intellectual property issue that wouldn't have horrifying consequences for independent artist, but that doesn't mean we can't have sympathy for all the artists who've spent their lives perfecting the craft of drawing moist-lipped, glassy-eyed, vaguely oily-looking anime girls in three-quarter profile and now everybody thinks they're a robot.

The themes and motifs website when a movie’s thesis is about white culture vultures and the vampiric nature of white cultural assimilation: oh my god I have to fuck that Irish guy

Yes. Some autistic people can pay taxes, write poems, live an independent life, etc.

But some of us cant. Some of us, like me, cant live independently. Cant be without someone. Cant be a member of society without extreme accommodation and help.

I need help in everyday life. I have a caregiver for gods sake. I need help in everyday life and will never be independent. It’s frustrating to constantly get comments about how autistic people can live independently. Cause some of us cant, and that needs to be talked about. I get sores from not showering enough. I get sores from my wheelchair. I have cavities from not brushing my teeth enough.

Life with higher support needs shouldn’t be something that is ignored and not talked about. My caregiver helps me live life as independently as possible. Independence looks different for everyone. Our caregivers are an extension of ourselves. Our caregivers are important and should be recognized. Stop throwing us under the bus for your “salvation”

We are all at risk, and throwing higher support needs people under the bus will not benefit you. You’re ruining years of advocacy by your words and videos.

when people w intellectual or cognitive or language disabilities ask “what does that mean” please like. actually explain what it mean to us.

even when it like. most ridiculous wild thing conservative say, for example. when we genuine ask what it mean please not respond with “oh it just some ridiculous stuff don’t worry abt it”

that not help. that leave us out of information.

you able read it, understand it, n then make up own decision about it. we struggle with first thing, so we ask for help, but by respond that way you take away our chance do the next two things.

we deserve same right as you we deserve have access to same information and make our own mind n opinion about it.

i’ve said it before but we MUST make bisexuality cool again. we should have people lining up around the block to pretend to be bisexual for clout . but instead we have people pretending they AREN’T bisexual these days don’t you see how dire it is???

"this fandom is annoying" every fandom is annoying dipshit. it came free with being passionate about something.

I love it when an RPG really, really wants to have a beholder in it, but since beholders are one of the very few iconic Dungeons & Dragons monsters that are actually original to Dungeons & Dragons and thus not public domain, they're not allowed to call it that. The writers all sweating as they make sure to have some random bystander say the critter's totally-not-"beholder" name out loud every single time it appears so that it's 100% clear that no trademarks have been infringed.

It is I suppose helpful for future calibration to have empirical evidence that all the most hysterical liberal nightmares about what the 'anti-woke/DEI and pro-free speech and merit' people would do the literal second they got a hold of power turned out to be 100% entirely correct.
