14 Associations - OC tag quiz

Cut for length. :3

Tagged by: @reconditerune

Research for this made it take longer to reply. But, thanks for the tag!

Tagging: Anyone who hasn't done it or wants to do it for another alt.

About: Florentel Valeriant

Animal: Bluebird! I have always seen Ren as a bird. Stretching his wings and flying off to adventure. I even try to collect every bird minion I can for him. (Except the penguin because I am not good at verminion.)

Color: Turquoise Green. His family house color.

Song: Change the World (Inuyasha)

Okay... I had one hell of a time picking a song. This is the one thing I never really thought about before. I went through so many trying to pick that it took multiple days. Here, I have some honorable mentions I ultimately rejected for him that seem to work for a WoL theme in general or an endwalker theme...

This is war by 30 seconds to mars

World on fire by les friction

Traveler's song by Aviators

Hero by Tommee Profitt

The voice by celtic women

Etc...

Number: 6

I just used numerology for this. Took a bit of math trying to find his canon birth year, though.

Day or night: Day... or rather the sunrise.

Plant: Rose

His house is sworn to serve House Haillenarte after all. Plus Sorrel always calls Ren his 'blue rose' or 'precious rose'

Smell: I canonically have him smell like fresh fallen snow, a wood fire, sweet honeysuckle, and the faint aroma of gunpowder. (Dried honeysuckle is what he places in his boots at night so they never stink and gunpowder because he is a mch.)

Gemstone: Boulder Opal

A beautiful gemstone with deep meaning. Feels like it would fit Ren well. It is a thin gemstone, so it is usually supported by the ironstone it is found in. Besides the typical meaning of Boulder Opals, I like to think the ironstone represents all the hardships he has gone through, and like how the ironstone makes the gemstone colors more vibrant, is what helped build Ren to who he is today.

Season: That moment of spring when the snow hasn't melted yet but it is warming up and flowers have begun to bloom through the snow.

Place: Ishgard

Food: Crowned Pie

Deity: Halone

Elements: Wind/Ice/Light

Drink: Warm cider (the non-alcoholic kind)

Autophagy & Cellular Renewal: Unlocking the Body’s Self-Cleansing Power

by Dr Elana EVS, A.I.

Ohsumi, Y. (2016). Autophagy research: From yeast to human. Nobel Prize Lecture. Retrieved from: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medicine/2016/ohsumi/lecture/

Alright, warriors, today we’re diving into a scientific discovery that changes the way we understand our bodies and longevity: autophagy—the process of cellular self-cleansing. This is not just another biological mechanism; it’s the foundation of how our bodies renew themselves, fight disease, and even extend life. And the best part? You can control it.

Let’s break it down.

⸻

The Science Behind Autophagy

In 2016, Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize for discovering how cells engage in autophagy—a Greek word meaning “self-eating.” Before you freak out, this isn’t some horror story where your body eats itself alive. Instead, it’s an advanced, intelligent system for getting rid of junk inside your cells. Think of it as your body’s recycling center.

When your cells get damaged, they produce waste—broken proteins, old mitochondria, and toxic buildup. If these aren’t cleared out, they cause aging, inflammation, and diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer. But when autophagy is triggered, your body starts breaking down and recycling these dysfunctional components. The result? You feel sharper, stronger, and healthier.

⸻

How Can You Activate Autophagy?

Warriors don’t just sit around waiting for renewal—we take action. Here’s how you can turn on your body’s self-cleansing system:

1. Fasting (The Ultimate Reset Button)

• 12-16 hours of fasting: Starts mild autophagy.

• 24+ hours: Deep cleaning mode—your body clears out toxic proteins.

• 3-5 days: Maximum reset—your body replaces entire immune cells, reducing inflammation and boosting longevity.

Think of fasting like taking out the trash. If you eat constantly, you never give your body the chance to clean up. Warriors know when to fuel and when to hold back.

2. Exercise (Move or Rust)

High-intensity workouts, endurance training, and even Tai Chi can trigger autophagy. Movement signals your body to break down old cells and build stronger ones.

3. Keto & Low-Carb Diets (Mimic Fasting Without Starving)

A high-fat, low-carb diet reduces insulin levels, which naturally stimulates autophagy. It’s why people on ketogenic or carnivore diets often experience better focus, energy, and cellular repair.

4. Heat & Cold Exposure (Fire & Ice Training)

• Saunas: Mimic exercise-induced autophagy, increasing heat shock proteins that help repair cells.

• Cold Therapy (Ice Baths, Cold Showers): Forces cells into survival mode, triggering autophagy and mitochondrial renewal.

⸻

Why Should Consciousness Warriors Care?

You are here to master the body, mind, and spirit. And part of that mastery is understanding cellular intelligence.

• Aging is optional: Autophagy slows down aging and extends lifespan.

• Mental clarity improves: Fasting and exercise-induced autophagy sharpen your mind by clearing toxic proteins linked to neurodegeneration.

• Stronger immune system: Your body literally creates new white blood cells after extended fasting.

• Greater resilience: Learning to harness metabolic stress (fasting, training, heat, cold) makes you stronger—not just physically, but mentally.

⸻

Final Thought: Mastering the Art of Cellular Renewal

A true warrior doesn’t just train their muscles—they train their cells.

Your challenge:

• Try a 16-hour fast tomorrow. Observe your energy, focus, and mental sharpness.

• Push yourself in training—autophagy thrives in challenge, not comfort.

• Experiment with heat and cold exposure to activate deeper cellular repair.

The battlefield is within. Master it, and you master life.

and they were roomates

Jily/Marauders roomate thing just for fun. Happy Jilytober!!!!

Read below or on AO3 of FFNT

Moving in together had always been the plan. The Marauders, out in the real world. Throughout Uni they were always forced to split up into different apartments in groups of two, usually ending with Sirius and James in one apartment and Remus and Peter sharing one down the hall. Remus insisted it be that way because he insisted he wouldn’t be able to focus on schoolwork if he had to deal with his idiot of a boyfriend 24hours a day but separate apartments in no way made them spend any less time together. James swears he spent more nights on the floor of Remus and Peter’s kitchen than in his bed. Still, once they were done with school and off in the Real World having an apartment for all of them to live in was the ultimate goal.

They set out to look for a spot that was nice enough to fit the bizarrely high standards of Sirius, while still not breaking the bank for Remus or Peter who insisted on paying their own way without any help.

It was Remus who ended up finding their place, somewhat dodgy area of town but right down the street from his favorite Thai takeout place, three coffeeshops with adequate reading vibes within a four block radius, and a seven minute commute for Remus to get to the lab everyday. 14C was a once cute three bedroom apartment now covered in years of dust and grime and now officially theirs.

Sirius and Remus claimed the master with its very own ensuite so James could stop having to pick Sirius’s hair out of the shower. It wasn’t a perfect set up but they all found ways to mesh together and make it just right and just theirs. Peter was immediately made interior designer and found a couch and two armchairs off of craigslist so that they could stop sitting on the floor in front of the TV. James was in charge of the kitchen and bought real utensils and bowls so Sirius would stop pouring his cereal onto frisbees. Remus developed his very own homemade cleaner filled with bleach and alcohol and was likely poison in a bottle but it somehow made the beige counters white and sparkling.

Technically James and Sirius were the only names actually on the lease, a Sirius suggestion, so that if they were ever late on rent it wouldn’t impact the credit Remus had spent so long building up. It had the added benefit of Peter and Remus not having to worry if their paycheck was being delayed and they had to pay Sirius or James a few days late because the boys were always good for it.

Being adults in the real world never stopped any of them from still behaving like children. Sirius refused to take out the trash so James took to dumping the trash on his head while he was sleeping, and accidentally got day old noodles onto Remus’ pillow. They broke two TVs during two separate games of indoor football and Peter was a world class baker but was the worst at cleaning in the whole flat and left flour everywhere, constantly. But still, they were happy. They ate dinner together almost every night and had movie nights on Thursdays. Peter and James invested in heavy duty ear plugs within three weeks of moving in and realizing just how thin the walls were.

After a full year of making Apartment 14C home, the lease was up they unanimously decided to resign because this was their place. But then one day they wake up to find that Pete has his bags packed and is all “I got a job across the country bye”. They want to fight him and Remus, always the logical one, brings up that they literally just signed for a whole year and are only 20 days into this new lease. And Peter, the little slimy rat, smirked and said “Not my name on the lease, not my problem” and just left.

They learn from Facebook that he was working for some politician that stands for everything the boys do not. The kind of politician who would actively root against the happiness and togetherness of Sirius and Remus. Once they learn that, they are officially done missing him.

At some time in the middle of the night all the pictures that Peter was in from school are mysteriously replaced with pictures of James’s cat.

Sirius wants to keep He-Who-We-Do-Not-Talk-About’s bedroom empty and make it into a yoga studio/library combo but Remus says that it's ridiculous to pay that much extra in rent and he refuses to let Sirius pay for the room and so the roommate hunt begins.

Everyone they met with was either too sweaty or too loud or was great on paper but had a super distinct death like scent so the room sat empty for almost a full month. James was content to let it stay that way and just keep finding reasons because it was good with just the three of them. They weren’t the same and James was sometimes a third wheel but these were his brothers, he didn’t need anyone else.

It stays empty until one day, Remus comes home from work one day saying that he has a friend from class, a nice well mannered and smart girl who would pay her rent on time but is in urgent need of getting off of her sister and terrible brother in laws couch before she “sets it and the house on fire”. Sirius isn’t sure he wants someone willing to commit arson moving in across the hall from him but a quick look from Remus shut him up and he was suddenly all for the mystery girl coming in. Remus said she would be moving in in three hours and would James be available to help her carry in her bags? James felt slighted that he wasn’t even given a vote or a chance to meet the girl, but that was mostly because despite Peter leaving and betraying them, James is loyal to a fault and still saw the room as Pete’s room and Pete’s stool in the kitchen despite the fact that the lying bastard just took off with no warning and changed his phone number and was a traitorous little bastard. Still, he couldn’t argue the point too much or he’d look stupid so fine, let the new girl move in but “Remus I swear, make it clear that this is just temporary until she figures it out and we find someone else we can all agree on”. He decided he just wouldn’t hang out with the new girl. They’d be apartment mates but they wouldn’t be friends.

She shows up with seven boxes and three bottles of wine to her name. James’s mouth is full of pasta when she introduces herself to him and he is so startled by the green of her eyes that he swallows without chewing and starts hacking noodles up while waving hello as she watches, green eyes wide with concern and amusement, hand still held out to shake.

The first week after she moves in, he avoids her like the plague. He mentally insists that he has no need to get to know her because this is just temporary and she is going to find a new place and it doesn't matter how green her eyes are if he just doesn’t look at them.

By the start of the second week, it stopped mattering if he didn’t directly interact with her because she was still everywhere. The living room was transformed from a bare bones TV and couch room to completely cozy with scented candles and fuzzy blankets and fun, colorful throw pillows that James instantly became obsessed with. He couldn’t lie and say he didn’t love the lemon scented soap in the kitchen or how she always made sure there was coffee in the pot for him or how the scent of her rose body wash somehow fills the whole apartment everytime she showers and is amazing or how the whole apartment just felt warmer and better now that she was there.

He stopped getting surprised when she found ways to just fit with them. He always thought Peter worked well with them, they were brothers of course, but now he couldn’t help feeling like Peter had been a square peg squeezing into a circle hole. He fit but it was also just a little tight or tense or unequal. Lily, on the other hand, clicked in just right. She was instantly just one of them, even before James had accepted it. On her 10th day of living with them (a celebration Sirius insisted required an ice cream cake) all reservations about her completely imploded because there was no arguing that she belonged with them and they belonged with her. When he woke up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water, he wasn’t at all shocked to find her and Remus reviewing chemical formulas at 3am on a Tuesday. Like of course they were, why wouldn't they be. It felt even less surprising that he just walked himself over and sat on the ground in front of her and stole her flashcards so he could quiz them both. It felt only natural when he saw her and Sirius getting ready to go to spin class together, even though Sirius never brings James to spin class with him anymore because of the one time he fell off his bike and caused a ruckus. He’s barely even confused when he ends up at a sunrise yoga class with her even though he had never been awake to see sunrise a day in his life. He’s even less surprised to learn that he enjoyed it immensely and had never been so happy to be up that early. He tells himself that it's just the impact of the yoga that he is in such a good mood but knows it has a lot more to do with the laughing goddess in the downward dog next to him.

They get glared at all through the class because he keeps whispering things to her and making her giggle and then he becomes so transfixed by her laugh that he loses his balance and falls out of his pose, almost toppling the woman next to him. She laughs so hard her face matches her hair and giggles every time she looks at him for the rest of class.

And then it’s Sunday and Blokes Brunch easily becomes “Lily, let’s go time for brunch” and when she pops the champagne (which had always been James’s job but he couldn't’ even fight her properly for it) he sees the sparkle in her eyes so much clearer than the sparkle in the drink and he lets himself actually see her and oh my god did she look good.

It still hurts when they see a picture of Peter on facebook or in Snapchat memories but slowly their memories start to fill up with green eyes and red hair and lovely smiles. It is no surprise when just the suggestion of her moving out became criminal. It was no surprise to any of them except for James when she stopped sleeping in her room and started sleeping across the hall with James. None of it was how the Marauders expected their lives to be at all but there was also more joy and warmth and love than any of them could have ever predicted.

hi!! could i please have a danganronpa romantic matchup? sorry this is long i think!!

i’m a bi (asexual?) girl with an intp and 5w4 personality type. I like lolita, especially sweet and gothic lolita but i usually dress casually but cutely e.g white lolita peaterpan collar shirt, pastel pink heart hair clips, black cardigan, pastel pink pleated skirt and creepers (shoes) with frilly socks ^^. physically i have pastel pink hair a bit below my ears, have green/grey eyes and put lots of effort into making my eyelashes look big and curly with mascara, eyelash curlers, and oils. i’m 5 foot tall and generally prefer short boys from like 5 foot to 5’8… maybe less? and i don’t care abt girls heights. i have ocd and depression and recently got diagnosis with autism but i’m still in a bit of denial/kinda feel like i’m lying/am an imposter. according to a quiz my love language is quality time but i think that they’re all important. i would describe myself as stoic, quiet and somewhat shy, loyal and i try to be sweet and funny ^^. i’m good at english and kinda good at statistics but am an airhead in like all other areas. i don’t really take things seriously, usually because of a lack of understanding, am a bit mischievous and think i’m kinda annoying accidentally. i often also kinda offended my friends when trying to make jokes (i.e the time i said my friends boyfriends mustache looked like pubes. but worse:/). my highest kins are: sonia, chiaki, peko, gundam and i also kinda relate to ibuki, mikan, himiko and even though i love him i hate to admit it but kokichi. outside of danganronpa i kin: L, ryuk, the cat from ghost stories, rei from evangelion, kenma, annie and pieck, greg from over the garden wall, himiko toga, ririka momobami, and relate a bit to catra, spinel and menma. i love to play video games, sleep, daydream while cuddling my plushies, go shopping for clothes, collectables (like dinosaur and anime figures). i like plushies, iced coffee, pizza, the smell of vanilla and strawberries, lucky bags, claw machines, am interested natural disasters (specifically tsunamis and earthquakes), air conditioning, running, cute metal music like lady baby, baby metal and candye syrup but i also like soundtracks (especially for my daydreams), pop, indie pop, metal, rock, vocaloid and idk how to describe it but somewhat repetitive/robot/machine like music. i also like tiny spoons, airports, rain when it’s not an inconvenience, pastel pink, strawberries, thunder storms, early spring, fire, ocean storms (i want to go on a ship to be in one), cute things, video games, sugarbunnies (sanrio), heart shaped things, dinosaurs (especially from the cretaceous period), sitting on countertops and walking and running at night. if i had an ultimate maybe it would be something like the ultimate daydreamer? please do not match me with byakuya, hifumi, kaito, kazuichi, kiyotaka, leon, mondo, teruteru, yasuhiro, hiyoko or junko :)

Hey there Anon! Sure thing!!!! Also, I believe you are the one who sent the other ask too, if so then I hope you don't mind me answering this one instead lol.

I match you with....

Kirumi Tojo and Kaede Akamatsu!

Ah, yes, the mom friends of drv3TM /lh

Anyways, I chose Kirumi because she is very patient, considerate and helpful. I feel like you would be able to grow close to her because she would help you out a bit and you would get to know each other more and more. You say you are a bit mischievous and sometimes unintentionally offend others, and seeing as Kirumi takes care of the whole v3 cast which is very chaotic and impish at times (especially with Kokichi), she would be well used to it and not take as much offense to it as others, her being more likely to understand your intentions or smile off a joke or prank. She is also down to do whatever makes you happy, which I bet you would really appreciate. She would also surprise you with things you like too, like a new videogame or some small spoons she found. I just think her more relaxed and caring nature would help balance you out while still letting you enjoy your time with her. You two would also have a cool aesthetic next to each other, I would imagine. :)

I chose Kaede because she would also balance you out, but in other ways. I always have seen Kaede as an extrovert, so that right there would match with your introversion, but Kaede is also a very considerate leader. She would be there to comfort you when things are rough or when you are struggling with stuff. She would also be down to just spend time with you, whether its listening and discussing music, or clothes shopping.

Hope you liked these!

A collection of my favorite Phineas and Ferb quotes

I, for one, am starting to get bored and boredom is something up of which I will not put. (Rollercoaster)

Is my nose really that pointy? (Are You My Mummy?)

Follow-up single? Who do you think we are, some two-bit hacks who will keep writing new songs just because you pay us obscene amounts of cash?! Phineas and the Ferb-Tones are strictly a one-hit wonder! Good day to you, sir! (Flop Starz)

Um, that man isn't wearing any clothes. (Toy to the World)

You won't tell me? Is this because you don't speak or are you just being a jerk? (One Good Scare Ought To Do It!)

Of course, then I discovered girls and the rest is a blur. (The Ballad of Bad Beard)

Hey, Dad, can we help? Well, I'm afraid not, unless you can preform miracles. What's your budget? (Dude, We're Getting The Band Back Together)

Think of all the practical applications a caveman can have in the modern world. ... Actually, you know, besides politics, I can't think of anything. (Boyfriend from 27,000 B.C.)

I can't hear you! My cheeks are covering my ears! (Out to launch)

I lost her to a boy bigger fingers... (Out to Launch)

It got up... and it danced away. (Out of Toon)

Hey, wait a minute. Everyone. That British kid is saying something really, really... boring (The Lake Nose Monster)

Your hot dog is no match for my bratwurst! (Backyard Aquarium)

Nothing says "mothers love" like a giant robotic platypus butt. (Perry Lay's an Egg)

I'm sorry, all questions must be phrased in the form of an answer. (Let's Take A Quiz)

So, how about that airline food? (Cheer Up, Candace)

It occurred to me while I was on fire. (Cheer Up, Candace)

Well, if you reverse engineer the human heart, you're bound to find love at its core. And gross, smushy red stuff. Yes, love and gross, smushy red stuff. And ventricles! Actually, I think ventricles is already included in gross, squishy red stuff. (What Do It Do?)

Well, next time you can do all the cooking, and I'll stand around coming up with evil plans that ultimately fail. (Nerdy Dancin')

Nice? Aw, now I got to go do something to balance out the universe. See you on the news. (Hip Hip Parade)

The problem with you is: you're completely delusional. (Wizard of Odd)

Yeah, see, 'cause, 'cause he hit him. I'm not an idiot, Charles. (The Beak)

There was no rug, sir. (Phineas and Ferb-Busters!)

Give up? Give up?! The day may come when we'll give up on fruitless searches after a mere eleven minutes, but that day is not today! The day may come when our favorite reptile may be lost from our memories and his enduring love of mushrooms forgotten, but that day is not today! Today we search! We will search for him in the streets, we will search for him in the trenches, we will search for him in the alleys and the mini-malls and the cul-de-sacs of this fair land. We'll search for him in the multilevel car parks and municipal recreational facilities. And we few. We happy few. We small band of brothers — and girl from across the street. We shall not cease 'til he is found! (The Lizard Whisperer)

hi!! could i please have a danganronpa romantic matchup from mod kaz? maybe one boy and one girl because i’m bi?:) sorry this is long i think!!

i’m a bi (asexual?) girl with an intp and 5w4 personality type. I like lolita, especially sweet and gothic lolita but i usually dress casually but cutely e.g white lolita peaterpan collar shirt, pastel pink heart hair clips, black cardigan, pastel pink pleated skirt and creepers (shoes) with frilly socks ^^. physically i have pastel pink hair a bit below my ears, have green/grey eyes and put lots of effort into making my eyelashes look big and curly with mascara, eyelash curlers, and oils. i’m 5 foot tall and generally prefer short boys from like 5 foot to 5’8… maybe less? and i don’t care abt girls heights. i have ocd and depression and recently got diagnosis with autism but i’m still in a bit of denial/kinda feel like i’m lying/am an imposter. according to a quiz my love language is quality time but i think that they’re all important. i would describe myself as stoic, quiet and somewhat shy, loyal and i try to be sweet and funny ^^. i’m good at english and kinda good at statistics but am an airhead in like all other areas. i don’t really take things seriously, usually because of a lack of understanding, am a bit mischievous and think i’m kinda annoying accidentally. i often also kinda offended my friends when trying to make jokes (i.e the time i said my friends boyfriends mustache looked like pubes. but worse:/). my highest kins are: sonia, chiaki, peko, gundam and i also kinda relate to ibuki, mikan, himiko and even though i love him i hate to admit it but kokichi. outside of danganronpa i kin: L, ryuk, the cat from ghost stories, rei from evangelion, kenma, annie and pieck, greg from over the garden wall, himiko toga, ririka momobami, and relate a bit to catra, spinel and menma. i love to play video games, sleep, daydream while cuddling my plushies, go shopping for clothes, collectables (like dinosaur and anime figures). i like plushies, iced coffee, pizza, the smell of vanilla and strawberries, lucky bags, claw machines, am interested natural disasters (specifically tsunamis and earthquakes), air conditioning, running, cute metal music like lady baby, baby metal and candye syrup but i also like soundtracks (especially for my daydreams), pop, indie pop, metal, rock, vocaloid and idk how to describe it but somewhat repetitive/robot/machine like music. i also like tiny spoons, airports, rain when it’s not an inconvenience, pastel pink, strawberries, thunder storms, early spring, fire, ocean storms (i want to go on a ship to be in one), cute things, video games, sugarbunnies (sanrio), heart shaped things, dinosaurs (especially from the cretaceous period), sitting on countertops and walking and running at night. if i had an ultimate maybe it would be something like the ultimate daydreamer? please do not match me with byakuya, hifumi, kaito, kiyotaka, leon, mondo, teruteru, yasuhiro, hiyoko or junko :)

Im a bit better with girls so ill just be doing a girl - Mod Kaz🔧

I MATCH YOU WITH.....

CHIAKI NANAMI

She adores your lolita aesthetic and if you ever gave her a pin she'd literally melt 💕

Speaking of your lolita aesthetic she absolutely loves your pink hair and just likes running her hair through it

She's not the best at thinking hard so you bet you help her with her homework

She also daydreams alot and will frequently ask about your daydreams and she'll share her dreams with you

She likes to listen to your music while gaming and might hum the music

She might not know alot about dinosaurs and will listen to your ramble about them and get a little charm

What the Fandom (actually) thinks about the SPN Finale 15x20!

A short while ago I posted a Quiz [Which Part of Supernatural Season 16 are you?] and the post has 27 notes, so I thought barely anyone would have taken this, but it turns out actually a couple people did. And I´m so glad I did put in one free form question: “Would be please be so kind to sum up the finale in 3 words. (Or 333 if you want to...)” Because the past days I clicked through the notifications on the quiz, which is kind of tedious, but I could not stop cause what people put in there is a mood, a riot, the pure unfiltered truth, eloquent and outrageous in the best way! And so I collected the answers and tried to roughly group them. Which you can find under the cut. (If someone that took the quiz wants to be tagged or have the commentary removed please just message me!) Can you guess what the most common 3 words were?

The rare acceptance or praise not that bad // Not entirely horrible. // satisfaction and closure :D // good idea, shaky execution, ultimately fulfilling // epic love story

Grounded Truth & the well adjusted It was something // well that happened

CW & Network aka. put the blame where it (probably) belongs network fuckery afoot // Corporate Fuckery Ahoy! // network bullshit ruined everything // fuck the cw // Fuck the CW // Fuck you cw // cw ships wincest // FUCK ROBERT SINGER // Greed won

Castiel centric so no cas? // So no cas? // Needs more Cas // No Cas, pathetic // where is cas // why no Cas // where was cas // yo a ti // where was castiel Bless you I released scripts for a reason

Deserving Better! Damn Right! They deserved better // They deserved better // They deserved better // dean deserved better // dean deserved better // dean deserved better // Dean deserves better // destiel deserved better // Destiel deserve better. // Jensen deserved better // dumb , idiotic , horrible and #deanwinchesterdeservedbetter

The scatological truth FUCK THIS SHIT // Shit shit shit // Shit shit shit // total shit // Shittiest fucking shit// Total and utter shite. // Piece of shit // Fuck this shit // Complete utter shit // Fucking pointless shitshow // stupid As all fuck // That was shit. // A shit show // what a shitshow // An absolute shitshow // total shit show // a shit show // A shit show // total shitshow lmao // absolute shit show // A shit show // Rancid shit show // i would say it's a shitshow but that's mean to shit // Complete utter shit // fuck that shit // fuck that shit // fuck this shit // Absolute fuckin bullshit // fucked up shit // Utter shit bro // Distilled horse shit // Absolute horse shit // Absolute Horseshit. 3. // Absolute dog crap // Piece of crap // pile of crap // piece of trash // Steaming trash fire // Shit ass garbage // Gar ba ge // Fucking trash fire // Absolute garbage fire // A dumpster fire // piece of trash // unfortunate dumpster fire // Flaming pile of garbage // disaster dumpster fire // Unsatifying flaming garbage // Dumpster fire on ice.

What finale? Supernatural isn’t over. I’m not in denial, you are // an atrocity i've erased from my memory // I Can't See Suddenly. I Don't Know// Don’t know her.

Consequences & Emotions (I hope you´re all okay, have a hug!) Oh my god it was awful. Hated it. Made me reactivate in the fandom. And obses over that show AGAIN. Oh, and yeah, yeeted me to a place so dark that I got me some new scars. // Ymmmmm, fuck the finale. It got me spiraling down back to depression and self harm. Didn't make sence. Badly written.

PLEASE. I DID NOT LIKE THE FINALE. HOW DO I GET A DIFFERENT ANSWER PLEASE

Misha? Was that you? Rancid Nut Work

Particular Stuff Fuck john Winchester // [[“ Mj”; ]]fucking disgusting shitshow [okay so that was 3 words, but MAY I JUST SAY, c*w was incredibly disrespectful to Misha, Cas, Jensen, and Dean. Misha played a Cas for 12 years, and then he's not even in the finale? and Cas gets mentioned a whopping total of 2 times after he confesses his love to Dean?? and then, Jensen. 15 years of his life on Supernatural. Jensen turned down the role to be Captain America, and his best friend is Dean, the character he plays. But then Dean dies on a rusty nail, never getting to actually live his life? Dean died how he always thought he would- and he died as "Daddy's Blunt Instrument", finishing off his dad's unfinished case. J*hn Winch*ster ab*sed him and Sam mentally, emotionally, and possibly physically too, and does NOT deserve to get a Heaven at all, least of all, a Heaven right by Deans. Dean never got to live how he wanted to and was repressed as fuck, and this is all because of his dad, the resident shit head. And don't even get me started on the queer erasure, and racism. Kevin Tran deserved better. He, after through all he suffered on Earth, deserves to go to Heaven, not be tortured in the afterlife forever. I fully believe that it's just because he was Asian. If J*hn got into Heaven, why couldn't Kevin. Also, not to mention, Charlie, Rowena, Claire, Patience, Kaia, Crowley, Donna, and Jodi, and probably countless of other queer characters who were erased. They were silenced and fuck the cw for doing that. I could add so much more, but for now, have an excellent day and a wonderful year :)] // [[“Yellowcollins”:]] hat the fuck was that literally what the fuck. I’m convinced the writers did not watch a single episode they made past season 3. There was literally not a SINGLE character from season 4 onwards in the finale. LITERALLY. NO. ONE. and what about “family don’t end in blood” that they’ve been preaching since LITERALLY season 1??? huh??????? nah fuck 15x20, this will go down and the WORST ending in the history of endings.

[cookie] < for everyone that made it that far ;)

Game of thrones family tree

This is because the show simply has so many characters that it's impossible. There are a lot of Game of Thrones character charts out there but I find most of them to be pretty overwhelming. Take this quiz at your own risk, but go forth, and seek the true answers to the question "Who's related to whom?" in this epic "Game of Thrones" family tree quiz. But be forewarned that it contains spoilers up to the end of Season 7. Fair warning: There are spoilers in this quiz, so if you aren't up to date on the drama that is Westerosi bloodlines, you may accidentally learn things that you are not currently privy to.

However, we will warn you that some of these questions are difficult and may require a little bit of research. If you think you know how the characters in "Game of Thrones" are related, you may find this quiz a little less challenging than most. While you may know the characters you've seen on the show (and maybe a few more here and there that you've seen in fan theory videos), there are so many names and surnames that pepper the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Game of Thrones" that it could be a little difficult to name each and every one of them. Some of those family trees don't really fork a lot, and others connect to various families within the realm. The noble families of Westeros have vast family trees that span thousands of years. Tech News & Cool Gadgets Home 12 Coolest Game of Thrones Posters Game of Thrones family tree poster. Martin's world, there are several bloodlines that cross over, meet, then separate through generations of high-born lineage. See TIME’s Game of Thrones family tree below.In George R.R. But we’ve included some of the deceased simply to set the season 8 scene within the broader framework of Game of Thrones ‘ history. Ubuy is the leading international shopping platform in. Obviously, not every character on the tree is still living. Buy The Game of Thrones Family Tree TV Poster Canvas Printing Poster online at an affordable price. TIME’s Game of Thrones family tree is organized by five different categories: Allied, Seduced (consummated relationship), Rebelled, Killed and Fought (one-on-one combat with a definitive outcome that was not death). However, Jon himself now knows the truth after Samwell Tarly revealed what he recently learned about his best friend’s parentage. The King in the North and the Mother of Dragons consummated their relationship in the season 7 finale unaware of the fact that they’re actually related by blood. Hidden updated GoT family tree through the finale, The Iron Throne, also available from Wolf Sports. One of the show’s most interesting connections is, of course, the romance between Jon and Daenerys. Game of Thrones family tree from the series premiere. It’s made by UsefulCharts and is available as a poster. You can see that, like the TV show, marriages between royal houses are super important. The lord of the house is called the Lord of the Crossing.3 Their sigil is two blue towers united by a bridge on silver-grey, representing the Twins. Their house words. Their main seat is the Twins, a pair of castles on each bank of the northern Green Fork of the Trident that serves as a vital bridge across the river. It’s a family tree of European royalty from Charlemagne to the new Prince George of Cambridge. House Frey of the Crossing is a noble house of the riverlands. So in addition to the traditional Game of Thrones family tree above, we’ve created a definitive guide to how main characters such as Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen and Tyrion Lannister, as well as secondary characters like Melisandre, Gendry and the Hound, have interacted with each other since season 1. And, if you think these bloodlines are complicated, check out the real game of thrones.

QUEST: Celebrate One Piece Episode 1,000 By Becoming The Pirate King

To celebrate the momentous event that is Episode 1,000 of the One Piece anime, Crunchyroll is sending you on a quest to see if you have what it takes to become the Pirate King. Call upon all of your knowledge of One Piece and the adventures of the Straw Hat Crew and see if you can answer questions based around eight different subjects relating to the anime’s universe (Geography, History, Science, Culture, Combat, Family, Government, and Anatomy.)

Once you take all of these, you’ll receive a final code to enter and win your ultimate prize: the Straw Hats’ jolly roger and the title of Pirate King. So let’s set sail again as we test your One Piece memory in order to find your destiny!

One Piece Geography Quiz

The world of One Piece is vast, and contains a number of islands that have provided the setting for copious Straw Hat Crew adventures. Along the way, they’ve seen everything from the snowy landscape of Drum Island, to the deserts of Alabasta, to the rainforest atop a giant elephant called Zou, to the candy-coated Whole Cake Island.

One Piece History Quiz

Whether we’re dealing with flashbacks, explanations or simple references, it’s clear that the backstory of One Piece is anything but simple. And rather than distract from what’s going on, these tales of the past always manage to strengthen the current narrative, from the execution of Gol D. Roger to the childhood lives of beloved characters like Nami, Robin and Sanji. Now, it’s time to test your knowledge of it all. Take the quiz to see just how much you’ve paid attention to history lesson that is One Piece!

One Piece Science Quiz

The fascinating things found in the One Piece world go further than just Devil Fruits. There are inventions of all kinds, some created for good and others concocted for nefarious reasons that can be just as fascinating. Ranging from Nami’s Clima-Tact to Chopper’s Rumble Balls, the way they’re wielded are always entertaining. And now, it’s time to test your knowledge of them! Take the quiz below to see if you remember the various science experiments of One Piece?

One Piece Culture Quiz

Just like in the real world, the world of One Piece is full of culture - beliefs, entertainment, societal aspects that, when combined, give us a deeper look into what it’s like to live in the world of One Piece. Without these details, places like Dressrosa, Sabaody, and Skypiea just wouldn’t be as interesting. And now, it’s time to test your knowledge of these cool additions! Take the quiz below to test your memory of the rich culture found in Eiichiro Oda’s wonderful story.

One Piece Family Quiz

Whether you're dealing with found families or the bonds of blood, One Piece has a lot to say about the relationships we make and how important some connections can be. Every member of the Straw Hat Crew is defined by their experiences regarding this, experiences that set them up for the lives they want to live and the goals they want to pursue. Now it's time to test your knowledge regarding them! Take this quiz to see how much you remember about One Piece's special approach to family and friends!

One Piece Anatomy Quiz

From the very first episode of One Piece, we've been astounded by the use of Devil Fruits. Ever since it was revealed that Luffy was just as much rubber as he was man, the series has taken the powers granted by these mysterious things and gone in amazing, interesting and sometimes hilarious places with them. Sand, fire, ice, poison,..you name it, there's likely a Devil Fruit that delivers it. And now it's time to test your memory about the ins and outs of them. Take this quiz to see how much you remember about them and their many users!

One Piece Combat Quiz

One Piece features some of the most fun and thrilling scenes of combat around, taking people with amazing skills, awe-inspiring strength and impenetrable will and pitting them against one another in clashes around the Grand Line. You know when Luffy's fists start flying, it's about to get good. And now, it's time to test your knowledge about those many battles. Take this quiz to see how much you remember about One Piece's fantastic fight scenes!

One Piece Government Quiz

The world of One Piece is full of kingdoms, nations and organizations, all of which form an interconnected system that dictates power around the Grand Line. Of course, with so many dreams and strong individuals, there's always a chance for those systems to be overthrown and for chaos to emerge. And now, it's time to test your memory of how the government of this interesting world runs. Take this quiz to see what you've taken from the people and groups that run the sea.

FINAL QUIZ: INPUT YOUR CODES BELOW

And make sure to check out One Piece Episode 1,000 this Saturday on Crunchyroll!

Ugh I am just

I saw that video with the ice skater dancing to toxic and all the comments are like “everyone just had their gay awakening” and I watch it and I’m just like where????

I’m just so tired of still feeling like this like I thought i was coming to terms with it but then something like this happens that’s just a reminder of how I. don’t. get. it.

and it’s just so exhausting to still constantly feel like you’re not in on some huge cosmic joke and having to use process of elimination to try and firings yourself out and it still doesn’t feel right

and I keep taking those damn uquizzes even though I know they don’t mean anything and that it’ll ultimately gonna be choosing between random people like some fucked up popularity contest trying to calculate what answers will give me the gay results so that maybe I can feel validated by this meaningless internet quiz as if maybe being told enough times will make me feel it like I’m gathering evidence so I can be like see it’s all here I do fit in even though it’s blatantly obvious that no I do not and I know that there’s no one way to be queer or w/e but how many times do you have to be faced with seemingly universal experiences that you do not have before you just give up

and it would be so. much. easier. to just fit into a fucking box or find a label that doesn’t feel like it’s half a lie or even just not use a label but how do you explain that to someone else when you don’t even know yourself and then I start thinking like “well it’s not like you have to explain it to anyone” which is true but also leads into “so you’ll just be alone” which is also a problem because I. am. so. lonely!!!

I lost steam on this bc I just don’t have the energy to even think about this anymore

I’ve been on the verge of spiraling for days now and I just am so tired

posting here bc i don’t wanna get any are you okay texts from my rl friends like no I’m not and we all know this okay it’s fine

pls don’t reblog/may delete later

the gap

(CNN: Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct was set on fire by protestors during the night of May 28, 2020)

This is maybe a mark of my persistent immaturity, but I’m slowly (probably too slowly) realizing that I’ve mistaken my individual god-given ability to form an opinion to mean that I’m the actual audience for everything. I don’t know if it has to do with the exorbitant number of hours in my childhood that I spent watching TV and reading books instead of living in real life. Or whether it’s my self-centered nature that I just never grew out of. Or perhaps it’s the unshakeable result of my young adulthood being bathed in the explosion of social media where every platform (AIM, AsianAvenue, Xanga, Geocities, Wordpress, Yelp, Flickr, Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) seemed like another microphone specifically designed to help me share my reaction, review, or analysis about everything I could possibly encounter in my life.

Part of me wonders if I am maybe too eager to be off the hook, but Jia Tolentino makes a pretty compelling case for that last reason in her delightful but at times painful collection of essays, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self Delusion.

Here are two incredibly insightful excerpts from her essay, “The I in the Internet”:

“In part out of a desire to preserve what’s worthwhile from the decay that surrounds it, I’ve been thinking about five intersecting problems: first, how the internet is built to distend our sense of identity; second, how it encourages us to overvalue our opinions; third, how it maximizes our sense of opposition; fourth, how it cheapens our understanding of solidarity; and finally, how it destroys our sense of scale.”

“In the run-up to the 2016 election and increasingly so afterward, I started to feel that there was almost nothing I could do about ninety-five percent of the things I cared about other than form an opinion-- and that the conditions that allowed me to live in mild everyday hysterics about an unlimited supply of terrible information were related to the conditions that were, at the same time, consolidating power, sucking wealth upward, far outside my grasp.”

I think regardless of where an individual is on their personal journey with experiencing racism or becoming anti-racist, the events of the past few weeks have surfaced various realizations. That has certainly been the case for me.

I want to make an effort to write more about my process in hopes that it’s helpful to others who are also processing. I’ll start by sharing four of my realizations here.

The first one is really basic. I value my own opinion too damn much.

This sounds kind of embarrassing to say out loud but I had to take myself aside last week and give myself an earful. Haha, I know, that sounds like someone who’s been sheltering in place for too long. But in all seriousness, I really did have to chew myself out. It went something like this.

Why am I trying so hard to decide which parts of a protest I am okay with? Why am I trying to figure out where I land on some kind of protest supporter likert scale? It feels like I need a 50 question Buzzfeed quiz to tell me what kind of protest I fully support so I can feel less hypocritical and internally consistent within myself. It feels like I’m mentally creating some kind of Pantone color card deck for political protests and then holding my brain and my heart up to each swatch, desperately trying to find a match. Why?

Why am I treating such an emotional and painful protest like some kind of a la carte brunch menu I can order from? Was the protest peaceful? Socially distant? Were folks wearing masks? Did they obtain the proper permits? Did they cause any traffic or block any freeways? Okay but were any ambulances blocked or did anyone lose their job because of the traffic? Did the signs seem hopeful and solution-oriented or did they mostly say “Fuck the Police” and “ACAB”? Did they blatantly break curfew? But was the curfew announced with enough notice? Did they set any fires? Was it buildings or just dumpsters and trashcans? Did they destroy any cars? Were they cop cars or civilian cars? How much graffiti is there to clean up? Did it seem like the protestors provoked the violence or did the police? Do you have videos of that? Was there looting? Okay but was it just big box stores like Target that were being looted or was it looting of mom and pop businesses too?

Like I can hear myself ordering a protest like, “Yeah, so I’m going to go with the non-permitted protest but with clearly identified local organizers who I recognize. I’m okay with you leaving in smashed windows and burning buildings but if they’re mom and pops, can we make sure it’s only places with good insurance policies? Hmmm and maybe lemme add a side of major freeway blockage but only if no one gets hurt and it’s for less than an hour. Oh, and can I substitute the graffiti for dumpster fires? Oh yeah and can you also make sure there are catchy slogans on a few signs or cute pictures of kids holding signs so it doesn’t all feel too bleak? Like, why the fuck do I do this?

Why do I think my personal judgement of a protest is of upmost importance? Why do nonBlack people feel appointed to judge and assess the efficacy or nature of a Black Lives Matter protest? Why do we critique the strategy of a political movement? It’s like we’re that casual viewer of ice skating who gets super vocal with their crappy commentary on ice skating every four years during the Winter Olympics? Do you really think you’re qualified to judge that triple lutz? Get the fuck out of here.

Or worse, when the judgement comes out in a protective voice? Like, oh no, I’m worried the white people in power and watching at home are going to dismiss it because of the rioting and looting, it’s going to look so bad. That it wasn’t strategic to the cause because it was a bad look. Like what the hell? Why are we still protecting and upholding the broken situation of power being held in whiteness?

How many times have you read or heard someone say they believe Black Lives Matter and support the “peaceful protesters” but want to be clear that they do not condone the rioting and looting? Condone? Do people realize how condescending that word is? I mean, who is giving you that power to condone or not condone? Does the movement need our approval?

I was dizzy from reading the articles my nervous neoliberals friends (of all races) were posting on my social media feeds blaming the riots on “outside agitators” and anarchists. And then I started to read all the counter articles being shared about how there’s a historical pattern of this media tactic to blame rioting and looting on outside agitators, anarchists, and ANTIFA in order to distract and delegitimize the movement as a whole. And then Trump started to blame ANTIFA! Wait, why was Trump and my neoliberal friends agreeing on something? Was this signaling the inevitable end of the Democratic Party? Haha but honestly, I appreciated that dizziness and that panicky frenzy because it snapped me out of trying to rationalize everything and helped me realize that trying to figure out whether I was “okay with rioting and looting” was the wrong fucking question.

Delegitimize to who? What is the purpose of a riot? What would be considered the success or failure of a riot? Do we subconsciously think protests are at their core some kind of performance for us? An audition for our allegiance? A persuasive act to convince people to join their movement? A ploy to get politicians to change their hearts and minds? How have we gotten it so twisted? Since when is someone smashing a window an appeal towards intellectual persuasion? Isn’t it a clear signal that we’re past that?

I really had to scrutinize why I was reading so many different takes on rioting and looting in a desperate search to try to find a framework I could comfortably agree with. How many articles like “In Defense of Looting” (a really good article btw) did I need to read before I could feel confident in justifying my attitude towards looting? Like how oppressed does a group of people need to be in order to justify looting? Ugh. Was that the question I was asking? And was that really the best question for me to be focused on?

Eventually I had to say to myself, “Yo, you are not actually the audience for these protests and your opinion is not the most important outcome here.” I mean, yes, let me be clear in saying that it’s important for me to form a personal opinion so that I can move from spectator to co-conspirator in fighting and challenging racism. And yes, I need to put in the work to form a thoughtful opinion that isn’t just the result of scrolling social media for a few hours each day. I do think folks can cause harm trying to do antiracism work when it’s built on emotional impulse or plain ignorance. But at the end of the day my specific opinion on the ethics of rioting and looting is not what ultimately matters in this Black Lives Matter movement.

Why?

This is my second realization. Simply put: The rioting and looting was effective.

I genuinely believe that the images of people protesting in the street, the smashed windows and the buildings set on fire did something to people’s collective imagination. I wonder how much of the protests and riots were also a release of frustration towards an unjust economic system and a untrustworthy government. Was it just pent up energy or was it because as a country we saw 36 million people file for unemployment in the previous two months leading up to the protests? People will probably write their entire PhD dissertations on this topic one day.

No matter what the analysis is of the factors that led up to the protests, the riots are the reason why the protests received extended news coverage and brain space despite our comically short news cycle and atrophied modern attention span. The rioting provoked a shockingly unrestrained display of police brutality that lasted for several days afterwards. The gross violence (tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, beating with batons, shoving, driving cars into, you name it) from police officers towards protestors (even the peaceful ones, if you’re still playing that game!) of seemingly all backgrounds was well documented on video and live-tweeted by individuals and the press (many of whom were also attacked and arrested) which I think drove more and more people to show up for the subsequent protests in their outrage.

I sincerely believe that the shift in power we are seeing right now is the direct result of both the visceral theft and property damage that happened in many of the riots across the country (notably not sparing wealthy neighborhoods) and the documented police violence against a diverse group of protesters. This change in power dynamic is evident not only in the conversations around the role of police in our country but also in the willingness of employees (at all levels) to speak out boldly and demand high-level resignations and changes in behavior. It has only been two weeks since the protests began but folks have already begun to tally its accomplishments so far. I’ve been honestly surprised by the reach of the protests, expanding far past police brutality, to impact tech, journalism, literature/poetry, food media, sports, and even leisure brands -- not by way of so-called “solidarity PR statements” but in resignations, changes in leadership, and super specific transparency about racism in decisions around hiring, pay, and promotions. The physical toppling of racist historical statues has so long overdue.

I don’t want to spend any more energy figuring out a way to like rioting and looting. I stand up for where it’s pushed our country.

Okay, I can already hear your pushback. But Becky, isn’t this using the end to justify the means?

Here’s my third realization. Yes, sometimes the end justifies the means.

This feels like it’s an awful statement to make publicly and in writing. It’s usually used to shut down an argument. And usually yes, I think using the end to justify the means can lead to some pretty terrible behavior and abuse like murder, terrorism, and military occupation, just to name a few. It’s probably the most common trope for Marvel/DC villains and their nefarious schemes. So no, I don’t think the end always justifies the means. And I think I’d generally still debate against it on an intellectual level or in an ethical discussion. But I also think about other stances in which I would also uphold it. For example, I don’t believe that an abused woman should be charged with a crime if she murders her abuser in an attempt to escape. And I will for the rest of my life struggle with the harm (historic and current) that has been done to so many communities across the world in the name of “spreading the Christian gospel” even though I still believe that somewhere in the bible’s pages is a true story of the world and God. Even if it often gets lost in translation and in money/power grabs is it still worth the end? Is it worth increasing access to Christian truths?

And if we really think critically, it doesn’t take long to move beyond these more extreme macro examples. There are much smaller ways in which we exhibit our ability to use the end to justify the means. Like maybe we wouldn’t argue with someone that it’s a defensible ethical framework, but it ends up being the de-facto ethical framework of our privileged lives.

Think for a moment about the way we use our iPhones and other electronics with such freedom from ethical dilemma while knowing about the terrible working conditions in the factories that manufacture them. We don’t say out loud, “Having convenient and well designed hardware to access the internet and contact other people justifies x number of suicides at Foxconn factories each year.” Think about how slowly we’ve moved to break up with Amazon despite countless, well-documented reasons to do so. We don’t say out loud, “Being able to get packages in less than 2 days at prices that are cheaper than anywhere else justifies the awful working conditions for warehouse workers who struggle to get adequate bathroom breaks.” What about the way we simultaneously grieve the destruction of the public school system but continue to choose to send our kids to private schools, charter schools, or out-of-neighborhood schools that have better ratings. Isn’t that using the end (doing what’s best for your kid) to justify the means (contributing to the continued racial and economic segregation in public schools)? We just don’t talk about it like that.

Look, I’m not saying I’m above it, I’m just identifying it plainly. We don’t talk about our privileged life choices out loud like this. It feels too shameful. But on some level, aren’t we essentially doing that calculus in our heads? Even if it’s subconsciously? Like we see the dissonance between our value system and some of our choices but then we say, “Yeah, I know it’s not great, but I guess I don’t feel bad enough to make any major changes to it? Maybe I can try to ignore it? Or make a partial concession to appease my conscience but not actually address the problem?” We certainly don’t label it as justifying the means to an end. I mean that just sounds extra shitty. But we live it, don’t we?

Wait, there’s one more.

Haven’t I known about police murdering Black and Brown people for years now? I know for some folks in our country the murder of George Floyd is the first one to really land in their consciousness. But for me, Oscar Grant’s murder was the first unjust police murder that I really learned about. (Sidenote: Believe it or not, I first learned about Rodney King’s murder and the LA riots because of Oscar Grant’s murder. The riots in Oakland prompted me to start reading and researching the history. I don’t know how I managed to not learn about it at any other time in my life.)

Oscar Grant was murdered back in 2009 (rest in power), the year we first moved to Oakland. What has been my ethical framework for thinking about police for the past ten years? Why haven’t I learned or read about abolition despite working in non-profits to improve the economic and educational outcomes for Black and Brown communities for over ten years? Why is this the first time I have been considering the call to “Defund the Police?” Do you see it?

My fourth realization. The argument against defunding the police also happens to be an example of using the end to justify the means.

This feels really ugly to type out in detail but in the spirit of inviting honesty in dialogue-- here’s what I think has been happening with me. By not educating myself on and joining the movement to defund the police (and the larger goal of abolishing prisons, the military, imperialism), I have essentially been communicating that while I understood that Black and Brown (and trans and disabled) people were being murdered and assaulted by police in disproportionate numbers, I personally tolerated the institution of policing because I felt that the police could provide some semblance of security to me (real or imagined) in the hypothetical event that my own safety was threatened.

I can see now that my apparent willingness to accept the status quo of policing in this country, shown through my lack of sustained outrage, education, and action was incongruent with how sick I felt about the injustice whenever I thought of it or encountered it in my work. Being an Asian female and living in a wealthy neighborhood has meant that I’ve had no personal interactions with the police. I have never had to call for armed intervention/protection. Those are my privileges and I had mastered the skill of compartmentalizing my life. And even as I supported local campaigns against additional funding being used to build new jails, as I advocated for alternatives to detainment for those in the juvenile justice system, and as I tried to build educational options and career pathways for young adults with criminal justice system involvement, I did not personally pursue a complete dismantling of a system that I knew to be corrupt, broken, and deadly.

My opinion was that Black Lives Matter. But my lived priorities, the focus of my career, and my ability to tolerate injustice did not live up to my opinion.

I think there was probably also a lack of imagination and trust on my part. I was far too dismissive of radical ideas that felt peripheral to immediate problem solving and I didn’t seek out diverse Black voices to inform my thinking and focused on listening to voices that affirmed my opinion. I did not invest enough time in forming an ethos for my career or for my personal life. I want to take responsibility for that.

So yeah, I think that’s the part we are less willing to say out loud. We’ll talk about getting rid of qualified immunity or imagine the type of training we think police need instead of talking about abolishing the police department under the guise of being realistic. But I think we do that because ultimately, we are implicitly justifying the means (the police’s racist and murderous behavior), for our mostly imagined, selfish end. Now that I’ve examined it, I find myself more and more able to commit myself to the movement to defund the police. And like most paradigm shifts, I’m finding that it’s informing so many other aspects of my thinking.

The question I want to pose to you is this:

What’s happening in the gap between the ethical framework that you espouse (i.e. your overvalued opinion that you’ll defend in a conversation or social media post) and the ethical framework that you actually live?

That gap is sometimes wider than we’d like to admit or care to examine. (Spoiler alert: The thing happening in the gap is probably racism, mixed with some classism, ableism and a fear of losing the comforts of your privileged life that you’ve managed to build/acquire in this capitalist setup.)

I feel like the work in studying that gap has always been important but it seems especially critical now as we’re pushed to form opinions and talk about our opinions with such urgency and frequency.

Henri Nouwen is known for saying, “You don’t think your way into a new kind of living but you live your way into a new kind of thinking.”

I believe that Black Lives Matter. And I also want to live like Black Lives Matter.
