Legion's worldbuilding is bland. I get that the devs were on a tight schedule, but where's the fun? where is the whimsy?? I know Legion's misogyny is clearly just reducing women into breeding stock, but come on, what is a cult without its women??? I want to see the mothers, sisters, and wives of the Legion, so devout to their gods. Wives who proudly send their husbands to war, sisters wawing their brothers off to the frontlines, mothers who think their sons must die for a "holy" cause. And those men who refuse to fight being shamed, "emasculated", how embarrassing it is for a mother whose son denies Mars' call. Imagine the way that cowardice stains her own status, follows the family name like a stray dog.

In my mind, the Legion is a proper cult, something people actually want to die for. A cult where mothers take pride in their sons' scars, where sisters brag about their brothers rising to centurion and slaughtering entire towns. A cult where fathers send their own children in lower ranks to the other side of the wasteland to die for a piece of the old world.

The priestesses are definitely worse. They fuel the machine, bless the killers, and preach devotion to war. Its they who tell expecting mothers to raise their babies with the honour of the Legion, to prepare them to die young for a cause. They are the propagandists, the ones who teach that fear is dishonour, that weakness is sin, that boys don’t cry. They're the ones who mould darling sons into fanatical warriors and daughters into religious and selfless indoctrinators. They're the hand of the bull building and polishing the real weapons.

Like sure, the Legion’s view that women are nothing but objects fits—they’re evil, they’re fascist slave owners, they should suck. But I feel like without free and willing people working to build the idea of "Caesar's Legion," they would just be a horde of animals. But we know this isn't the case. We're told the Legion also exists outside its military. They run cities, have settlements under their protection, and govern safe trade routes. They likely have some system of mass production with manual labourers, too. I mean, those tents at the fort or the flags we see weren’t just sewn by soldiers on the spot, right? And merely raiding can't supply an army.

The Legion has a culture, a religion, 'civilized' cities, an economy, currency, roads and agriculture. And for all that to work, a workforce that believes in their cause or is at least content enough to keep themselves in line is needed. You can't build Rome when half of your population is actively planning to escape or burn your nation to the ground.

S. Baum at Erin In The Morning:

Clariece, a 23-year-old trans woman in Mesa, Arizona, said she got the phone call late on Friday from her Planned Parenthood doctor’s office. It was in regards to her routine appointment that Monday—the office was cancelling her visit, and all upcoming visits for trans patients seeking gender affirming care in the coming week. “We are hoping that this is a temporary pause for the next week,” a representative said, as per a voicemail left to Clariece. The office said they would reach out when they knew they could reschedule. Clareice was able to find another provider—missing even a week of hormone replacement therapy can be destabilizing, and it can be a major setback due to the stringent regulations on hormones for trans patients—but since getting the call, she says she’s felt "the sword of Damocles” hanging over her head. “Even a little bump can push back when you go and see somebody, which pushes back when you get your lab work, which pushes back when you can get a new prescription written, and that all means there will probably be a gap,” she told Erin in the Morning. (She spoke on the condition that her last name be omitted from publication due to privacy concerns.) By Saturday, April 12, Erin in the Morning reported that the Planned Parenthood of Arizona had added a new banner on its website. “At this time, Planned Parenthood Arizona is pausing Gender Affirming Care services,” the header reads. “We are committed to keeping our patients updated about the services we provide and will communicate further once we can provide more information.” It says the catalyst for the stoppage was an April 11 letter from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) which ordered Medicaid agencies to halt funding for any clinics that provide gender affirming care for trans people. The CMS is a government agency led by Mehmet Oz—a doctor-turned-media-mogul-turned-politician whose claim to fame is promoting dangerous “miracle” (pseudoscientific) weight loss drugs and cancer cures to a live studio audience via The Dr. Oz Show.

“Initiated with an underdeveloped body of evidence, [gender affirming] interventions lack reliable evidence of long-term benefits for minors,” the CMS letter reads. Put simply, this is not true. Every major medical association supports affirming health care for transgender youth. Meanwhile, the CMS letter cites Southern Poverty Law Center-designated hate groups known for dubious, anti-LGBT “science,” such as Do No Harm, which was founded to stop “woke” health care, and the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine, which pushes conversion therapy for trans kids. But the Planned Parenthood of Arizona’s pause on care is not just about kids; adults are also barred from gender affirming care.

Planned Parenthood of Arizona’s “pause” of gender-affirming care services are an attack on health care access for trans adults and kids alike.

My favorite food to eat! Ethiopian Cuisine. It so flavorful and delectable everytime. Im vegan, and you will always be happy eating a ethiopian plant based meal. I could literally eat this meal everyday. The food on top are red and green lentil, collard greens, yellow split peas, carrots and green beans and shiro (chickpea sauce). On the bottom is a yeast free fermented bread called Injera. Its sooo good, you eat it with your fingers and just enjoy it in any combo you'd like. 10/10 I highly recommend. Kare Ethiopian Restaurant in Phoenix :)

Jordan hadn't expected Arizona to be so Hot! It nearly got to 38c! Sure, she'd heard that deserts could get hot, but this was ridiculous. At least the van had a working AC. Not that she couldn't whip out something to cool the inside of the van. Maybe a sleeve with ice and and a fan to circulate air? Or maybe dry ice would be better? It would cool better and more quickly. No, no, dry ice would produced CO2 and that wouldn't work in a confined space. Maybe if they managed the right balance of liquid oxygen and CO2? Anyway, Tombstone had been interesting. Jordan had never been terribly interested in American history, she'd never been very interested in her own countries history for that matter. It always seemed like a tangled web of he said she said, rather than any hard fact. A mess of half-remember cause and effect. Jordan liked things that made sense. People rarely made sense, especially when there was something [at stake? to hide?], and they were the ones to write history.
