meditation <3

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

*tries to organize my thoughts*

*remembers i'm not in school and therefore beholden to neither heaven nor hell nor any man's grading system*

*joyously shredding & tossing all my carefully arranged 3x5 mental notecards into the air like so much beige confetti. raising my arms in victory, cheering raucously until i accidentally inhale bits of homemade confetti*

(*coughing up itty bits of paper like a cat evicting a hairball with a firm understanding of tenants' rights*) wait wat happens next

A region to explore

Isn't it *wild* that they just let young teens and children explore a whole REGION alone. Anyway- these three r squishy and i love them a lot

part of my "rewritting the game story in my head" comes up here- Kieran is here as an exchange student during Haruto's treasure hunt. In my canon Haruto, Kieran, and Penny are all teamed up on their hunt.

I'm watching the documentary series "Dirty Money" and god is it a reminder that most people in the US don't know or understand truly rich people. I went to an ivy league university and I saw true wealth. Students with family mansions in the hamptons, with jobs set up at major banks the minute they graduated. Students whose families bought them houses to live in, who posted IG photos of them in different luxurious lodgings in every country of the world. I follow someone from uni on IG who regularly gets helicopters from her manhattan apt to the JFK airport. I had a friend whose date (an undergrad student) picked her up in a porsche. It is so damn frustrating to discuss wealth inequity now that I'm out of that world because most people from my hometown and where I currently live think doctors, lawyers, and small business owners (even slightly larger businesses) are upper class. This is not to say those professionals aren't financially privileged and middle class but they still work for the most part for their wealth; real rich people DO NOT DO THAT-they have properties, investments, and businesses that work for them. Real rich people buy thousands of dollars of luxury items with full intent of never wearing them. They have dinners with politicians and their children catered by the university. They have last names you'd recognize vaguely from CNN. This little rambling has no point except to remind everyone that it is likely an average person will never ever interact with the type of person that should be one of the rich we tax or eat, depending on your preference lol

them and their watches. this was the only thing I could think about when going against amarys.

[princessnijireiki]

it's always such a strange thing when people say stuff like, "oh, my developmental cognitive delay, mental illness, etc NEVER gets believed in, not like PHYSICALLY disabled people," or, "oh, I NEVER get accommodations for my physical conditions in school, not like other students' LEARNING disabilities," "THIS kind of thing I experienced is uniquely oppressive and one of many roots of evil in the world, other power structures & people in positions of authority are NOT as harmful as the one I experienced, and the world is soooo much nicer & easier to everybody & every kind of cripple except me"

like I know of all the social media platforms tumblr has the rep of being the pity party site, but while you truly may have suffered and nobody is here to diminish that, y'all are moving very weirdly through life

This is me being an obsurce side game pokemon nerd but tbh I assumed the reason there were students of all ages, even adults/old people, at the academy in scarvi was because they just accept anyone regardless of age?

Cuz like in pokemon ranger shadows of almia there's a small quest about an adult guy stealing some capture equipment from the ranger school, and it's revealed he only did it because he wanted to be a ranger but thought he was too old, to which the teacher replies there's no age barrier and anyone can join the program.

So idk since the school seems to mostly teach trainer stuff as opposed to being a general education school with grades based on age, I figured they let people join regardless of how old they are, which honestly kinda fits the vibe of the pokemon world being a place where anyone can easily run off and follow their dreams, right?

"a 2020 survey found that the richest Americans showed the strongest support for defunding the police, while the poorest reported the lowest support. Throughout the remainder of that year and into 2021, murder rates throughout the US soared as a result of defunding policies, officers retiring early or quitting, and police departments struggling to recruit new members after the luxury belief class cultivated an environment of loathing toward law enforcement.

Consider that compared with Americans who earn more than $75,000 a year, the poorest Americans are seven times more likely to be victims of robbery, seven times more likely to be victims of aggravated assault and 20 times more likely to be victims of sexual assault. And yet many affluent people are calling to abolish law enforcement."

Rob Henderson's concept of luxury beliefs is very interesting. Like myself, Rob Henderson is a former foster kid who went to college. He wrote a memoir on his experiences and notably has made certain observations on the college elite's "progressive" mindset. Rob exposes how the elite politically correct push backwards beliefs to demonstrate their social status.

As a woman who aged out of foster care, one of the things I was told by my social worker was that foster kids often become homeless when they age out of the system and that the girls become prostitutes. It was a great fear of mine that I would become homeless and that my fate would be to be a prostitute because there was simply no other forms of support. When I encountered liberal feminists who claimed that "sex work is work" it was shocking. You would think that feminists would try to be allies to girls from foster care and that they would be concerned by the high rates of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation that they encounter. But these "activists" do not care about foster kids. They push a harmful lifestyle because it's a luxury belief. They live privileged lives and can do Only Fans from their bedrooms meanwhile girls that age out of foster care often end up homeless.

The more that I look into social justice warriors, the more I realize that they really have antagonistic attitudes towards less fortunate people - especially girls from foster care.

Here's an idea that is actually not related to Clavell for once xD

Minor spoilers btw and this will take place post game.

You know that Dragon Tamer that kept on visiting Hassel to make him come home to his family. Well what if one day Juliana/Florian sees her again and this time along with the teamwork of her friends and the now reformed Team Star, they bring the tamer to the Schoolyard to tell her off and to battle her so she would stop coming back for good.

Aka, various students and teachers who love Hassel want him to stay as a teacher and will fight anyone who wants to take him away from them.

Yes Hassel will be happy crying about it :3
