When South Africa dismantled apartheid, it did not end with the expulsion of all white South Africans. They became part of the new South Africa, just without the criminal discriminatory oligarchic powers the apartheid goverment had. When Bolivia recognized its indigenous heritage and became a plurinational state, it did not mean that people of European descent were expelled in masse. It meant the recognition of the previously discriminated indigenous and mestizo people of Bolivia and the beginning of a path of integration and revalidation.

What I mean is that it's ridiculous to think that decolonization inherently means mass suffering and relocation, that's what colonization does. Decolonization is recognizing the crimes of colonization, but more importantly, material, political and social steps to give power and self-determination to the exploited native people who were victims of colonialism and imperialism.

In multicultural societies, you don't go like in that Peter Griffin meme with a skin tone chart and saying 'well, you go back to Europe, you go back to Africa, you stay here'. You build a new society on the paradigm of dignity for exploited people and equality under the law. People are acting like this is some sort of fantastic utopia instead of real initiatives that were done in living memory, with successes and failures, as all such initiatives have. One must ask why are some so insistent that multicultural societies can't thrive, especially when for most of history, societies were indeed like that. Consider why you think like that.

why Hot Shot, I was rooting for you!

Okay, but in all seriousness, after the chapter where Casey gives MC the cold shoulder, it became less interesting to me & I was hoping it'd pick up again when we went to Casey's hometown but that arc was over & done with way too quickly & it seems that the major conflict is the MC (forced or not) to reveal sensitive information to the public & now the team (including Casey) has "turned" on them, in the sense that they don't like MC anymore (obviously more complicated with Casey but the sentiment is there too) but I will say that I do like what Casey says to MC in today's vip chapter release at the start

I was talking with Sabrina about Hot Shot a while ago, and I mentioned that the story definitely would have been much more interesting if MC were an athlete too. Posts I saw when the book was announced said it would've been good if the MC was on a rival team (definitely agree with this one) but considering this MC is a reporter, I was thinking that they still could have been a reporter for the story but have a more fleshed out background for them. For example, there's hints here & there that MC used to play hockey, so it would have been nice if while in college, they did play but then because of an injury they had to stop playing and then decided the next best thing was becoming a sports reporter, which is how they ended up in that career.

Although there is nothing wrong with MC having always wanted to be a reporter & prioritizing their career, it would have been neat to add some emotional reasoning as to why reporting is so important to them; and I think it could have opened up some good discussions with Casey, especially when they try telling MC that they have no idea how hard/different it is out there on the ice, like MC could have been just as secretive about their past injury as Casey was about the championship they lost (which let me remind you, not much focus was put into it) & the conflict could have been something besides leaking info

Idk, I know this book wasn't like high effort but I tend to get attached to books with potential and Hot Shot definitely could have been interesting, and bad MC sprites aside, the innuendos somehow got worse lol, but I would have been willing to look past it if the conflict was anything else than what we got

Thank you

Ah, it's time for dracula daily again, alas I do not think I'll be able to keep up this year either. Does anyone know if there's an audio version of dracula daily? Or if there's a twitch/youtube channel that reads them out?

oh so y’know how in the Vaults of Madness dungeon, you have to jump from this ledge into a big pool of azure plasm and then swim to shore?

well… one time, I somehow… missed.

I have run this dungeon at least 30 times and not ONCE had this happened before 😭

(at least it wasn’t as bad as the time I was going for the vet no death achievement and fell through some floorboards halfway…)

This is monumental. May it be the start of a new movement

Oh sweet, honestly when they did this for TG & DB endeavors I hoped they would do it again for event specific endeavors, in this case, housing stuff makes sense considering the free house we get tomorrow!

[dragonknightofsummerset]

They’re giving Alchemy away as a houseguest in eso today! And you can buy Caska as a houseguest for the next seven days. And ALL of the houseguests are on sale… Does that mean new house guests soon potentially? 👀
