slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

if someone is talking about how much they love their parents do not jump in and start venting about your issues with your parents. if someone is venting about their issues with their parents do not jump in and start talking about how much you love your parents. peace and love amen swag city

Because of Re: Carmilla, I thought you all would enjoy my edition of Carmilla :

The holes go all the way through, the sides of the book are red, and on some pages the text is colored red just under the holes !

I was so happy when I found it in a little french bookshop specialized in queer texts ❤️

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

hey😊!! , for the RO jumble asks -

Alana x G or/and Victoria??

Josnel x August ??

Okay. So. Fun fact. Alana probably was the biggest of my lot that was G Reigns' fan. [I mean maybe not the biggest ... Ori and Hiyam are up there, but she was A FAN!] But then Griffin being themselves and Alana being a sweet, hard working, lamby pie .... yeah. The stars are starting to fall.

And I feel the placement of Vic [a fellow rosy-coded romantic scorned by love ... you see where this is going?] searching for help might further sour Alana to Griffin. Thinking on it, I would have to play it to be sure, but I feel Alana might very well be the one of mine to more likely split up ValenReign by stealing Griffin's woman 23werwer

Which is funny because Alana doesn't realize she is quite bi yet. She's dated men. She knows she loves fem!Seven because Seven is SEVEN and of course she will always love Seven and -- oh. Okay. But Victoria is different. So it would be such a mess between the self-discovery and the adultery ... okay, maybe not so funny. At all.

So, it could happen but I don't think it could work. In the sense that Alana, would be miserable in such a circumstance [I THINK. But then she's SUCH a fool for love that maybe she wouldn't? Maybe it woudl be worth it?]. But she would convince herself she was happy. Because Victoria WOULD choose her if she could.

What is needed is for Alana to see what a sad sack G really is .... than maybe. It woudl be bumpier because Alana is determined to stay away from dude's like G. Who are heartbreakers qwerwq ... so. ROFLMAO. Though as much as I don't very often play adultery routes -to each their own - I sorta like this bc Alana is the princess often, the home-maker type. Like very ~Cater2U~. But that tendency to bend backwards for love would make her the knight here, the home-wrecker.

Alana you're Lancelot! *sobs*

... dang after this nothing I say about Josnel and August could hold up. Like this is wild. I am really tempted to give it a shot. BUT I SHOULDNT. I dont need more circulation for infamous. No more pinboards! [Funnily I figured if it wasnt Seven it would be August for Alana.]

But sigh. Okay. Josnel and August. This would be another gender dating exploration, because I don't think Jose has ever dated someone who identified as non-binary. To be fair I don't think he's dated a lot of men either .... it's been Seven.

This would be so interesting. My appeal for Seb [it was originally Orion] was because how different he was from Seven but also how NORMAL he was. So, I think August's desire to be in a band AND his political parents would sort of be a rub ... for Josnel. Like a bad rub. Because he doesn't really want this long term, at this point.

I do think they could be a sweet couple. Particularly feel August as an unexpected sorta sweep you off your feet, understated way, that would really keep on catching Josnel off guard. Especially because, for some reason, in his mind he sees August as a Younger. LOL. So there woudl also be THAT to get over.

So, I do think they would be lovely and I am just GRINNING pondering it. I feel it would be better in a world where the only hang ups were like perception [mostly Jose's] and not like ... careers. Because that's different. And strangely more difficult in this case.

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.
