What was garak like as castellan? (ps your art is 💞💕❤️❤️💕💞💕❤️💕💞💕)

OOHOHO GARAK AS CASTELLAN....

I think his time in the Federation has, despite his best efforts, affected his outlook on politics. He's a wary centrist now, as if Cardassia has the luxury of political discourse not related to basic sustenance.... trying to delicately excise the most distasteful parts of the prior totalitarian regime while still supporting the structures that keep people alive.

I don't think there's a way to be a well-liked leader after an annihilative disaster, honestly. Garak's not an exception. He's NOT a popular Castellan, but he WAS the least bad choice immediately on hand, and he's adept at securing badly needed aid from Federated interests. He can be very persuasive and diplomatic, and he circumvents or cuts through the bureaucratic and political obstacles that would've trapped less canny men. He's in power during the setting of the foundation of the Cardassian economic miracle and he stalwartly weathers years of vicious criticism and assassination attempts (that he easily evades). As soon as he retires his approval rating goes from like 15% to 80%. He's the Grandfather of Cardassia, their mercurial constant, their deviously bitchy figurehead who can hold his own against any rival leader. The wily old regnar who raised a generation of hungry utopian statesmen. A Castellan to be privately eviscerated and publicly saluted.

Mostly he's just trying to go home at some point during the night to quietly whisper 'good-night' to his kids and husband, though

#dee s 9 #garashir adoption au #HEHEHE THANK YOU OUUUUGHHHHHHHHHH #i always thought. bully for abraham lincoln getting offed RIGHT as the war was coming to a close #you KNOW that he would not enjoy his current reputation if he'd had to preside over reconstruction. he'd be andrew johnsoned.#I do not think Garak would like being Castellan at all. I think he would be adequately good at it.#he needs kira and natima lang to occasionally waterspritz him when he thinks about instituting a secret police or cracking down on protests #lol between him and julian working full time and a half at the hospital lim and iskra are like raising themselves lol #no jk jk they figure out a good work life balance at some point...#hwaugh i want to draw so much more but my MOMMY is coming to visit. ill do more later and rebagel it.#rekelen and hogue... castellan lang (my FAVORITTTEEE trope) and her attache iskra...#castellan garak meeting a federation diplomatic delegation...

“The ban’s so-called health and religious exceptions are entirely inadequate: Nassau County police officers are not health professionals or religious experts capable of deciding who needs a mask and who doesn’t,” she said.

- Susan Gottehrer, Nassau County Regional Director of the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU)

#nassau county #acab #this is absolutely a measure to crack down on protesters #this mask ban will especially affect disabled poc #when the POLICE get to decide who is wearing a mask for health reasons and who is not #nassau county legislators practice eugenics #new york #uspol

i started rivers of london v much thinking i will suffer thru the police stuff for the magic worldbuilding but the more i actually read the more i am Having Thoughts. there sure is Something in here abt. oh can i even articulate it. how out of touch nightingale is and how that's not a good thing. the ever present spectre of english imperialism, how many of the problems are rooting back to the old boys network already. like idk how much political commentary is intentional here but. huh. huh!

#yelling at clouds #i genuinely do not want to give credit where it isn't due but i am gonna have to see if ben aaraonovitch has talked abt this anywhere #cuz theres a difference btwn propaganda and deconstruction yknow #this feels less like copaganda and more like holding up the uk police system to better see all the cracks #absolutely not to the extent i personally wld but #i can imagine sitting down with peter grant over coffee and having a very long passionate discussion abt police abolition #and not even wanting to hit him at the end of it

Hmmm, having thoughts about my MASH prohibition AU

#I really want to stress that I would want to have Hawkeye and Trapper be bootleggers but NOT gangsters #I think they'd be stuck with working with and regularly interacting them but hating them all the same #Maybe Henry (who've I cast as an unwilling speakeasy owner lol) gets caught up on some mob violence or a police crack down #And that's how he goes #Maybe he just gets quietly beaten to death one night in front of his own place during a raid and that's that #Obligatory 'my knowledge of this era sucks' warning here

People who sell other people pills without testing them first or people who knowingly sell people pills with fentanyl in them should be arrested and charged with manslaughter.

#then killed in jail #IF YOURE GOING TO SELL PILLS PLEASE TEST THEM. U CAN GET FENTANYL TEST STRIPS ONLINE FREE.#too many good people die from this shit #and it’s not okay.#I am entirely for cracking down on dealers who knowingly sell people laced drugs #like I’m anti police all around usually but in this case yes I believe these people should be arrested and charged #because they play a direct roll in killing people #and because these types of people being behind bars is literally harm reduction and will genuinely save lives.#harm reduction #addiction #opiates #opiate addiction #drugs #drug addiction #upload

seen in paris and marseille 🇵🇸

#palestine #free palestine #free gaza #france #paris #marseille #*#i take pictures of these everywhere i go when i see them #and one thing that really surprised me was that so far FRANCE was where i saw the most graffiti and stickers #i also saw a lot of people in keffiyehs in paris #despite the police arresting people for it and cracking down on protests #the people under the statue were organising and sitting there on purpose like a tiny unofficial vigil #also this isn't even everything i didn't include bathroom graffiti and stuff i saw scrawled on the metro and such #i have 20+ photos and didn't even take them all esp in marseille there were too many #the first thing i saw when i left the train station there was a pali flag hanging out a window #the people are not their government.#also if you're going to talk about vandalism don't

I wonder if those same people pissy about state park fees would also be pissy when the government tried to shut down beaches during covid and were arresting people for laying on the sand or like what happened to me, tried to arrest me for surfing -_-

#and these weren't state beaches either but the state government tried to come and crack down #this were city beaches that didn't care #but Newsom sent in choppers and STATE police

I’ve learned a way to flat-color recently. Now I can’t stop... These are mostly old draws I colored for fun.

1. BOYD can wear feminine clothes, who says he can’t? 2. This is an old OC, all the way back to when I was about 12. She might need a redraft, but I’ve wanted to tell her story ever since. Maybe when I’ve finished my international studies and have gotten versed enough, I can. The one thing I’ll tell you for now is that she’s from the past and living in the present. 3. It’s an atrocity that Team Science and the two caballeros weren’t chibified in the initial shorts, but... just MAYBE... Gizmoduck out of the suit? Please Disney...

Bonus: Terrible terrible ship cheese I drew ages ago, and decided to color. ...DW just sort of sprung a kiss on the poor guy.

I guess the only thing I want to point out is, you might think your worse case scenario are the conservative parties in your country, and sure those are shit, but fucking look out for liberal libertarians and how their defense of the status quo ultimately leads to stealth conservativism. you haven't felt your soul leave your body until you hear an ancap defend the military dictatorship while saying that gay people are fine.

#recognizing any sort of societal oppression is cringe. the only oppression comes from the state silly.#but also when the state sends police to crack down on protests they're based #sure that will never happen to me!#god i should take a break from twitter #not that it would stop those people from governing us. but. y'know. lol #pas post

"does it bother you to walk past people openly smoking crack outside your apartment building" yes but I’m not gonna tell them that cause im a mindyourpilled fuckingbusinessmaxxer and also fuck the police

#I mean I would just rather not have them openly smoke crack sitting in the gutter shitting on the street #maybe I’m crazy but I think those people should smoke their crack in the privacy of their own home.#morw so because I find it distasteful that a portion of the population has to SIT IN THE GUTTER AND SHIT ON THE STREET #I’m tired. this is tiring. the police get new fancy cars so they can pretend they’re the good guys in a video game #and the people in the alley behind my apartment get bunk #oh but they don’t work hard so they don’t deserve their own homes or apartments #fuck off and fuck you. give these people four walls a bathroom and a kitchen. give them a simple routine with a social worker.#let them eat snacks on a couch with their dog with a roof over their heads Jesus Christ #things will calm the fuck down outside if we just let people live inside. mind blowing I know #oh but how will we pay for it all MONEY ISNT REAL

Members of a private WhatsApp group, including billionaires like the CEO of Dell and the former CEO of Starbucks, allegedly used the chat to discuss ways to pressure New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on Gaza solidarity protests at the city’s universities, according to The Washington Post. AJ+ has not seen the chat messages referenced in The Washington Post’s report directly. ⁣

⁣

NYPD officers raided encampments at schools like Columbia University and the City College of New York, arresting close to 200 protesters in just one day. The police raid at Columbia in late April was the first on-campus mass arrest in 50 years, with police using riot gear and military-grade weapons against mostly peaceful protesters. ⁣

⁣

While Gaza solidarity encampments have been frequently targeted with violence by police and pro-Israel agitators – and over 2,200 people have been arrested – a study found that out of over 550 Gaza protests at U.S. universities, 97% have been peaceful. ⁣
