How on earth is Atlas au Raa both weirdly charismatic and the most terrifying character in this entire series???
He casually orders Darrow‘s rape and murder, he impales people and booby traps the corpses, he still cares about the family he was taken from as a child, he was friends with Lysander‘s parents and gives advice to him, he was exiled for fifteen years and assumed dead, he had his people infiltrate the Ascommani (to what end?), he can show up anywhere at any time and nobody sees him coming, he talks to Lysander like an equal and then still has him beaten. I am very confused by this man. What drives him? What is the point? He doesn’t seem to enjoy the violence, he calls it a tool, but a person with any sort of conscience would not be able to live with themselves doing what he does. He is an enigma and I love it. Awesome villain.
#red rising#light bringer#I’m still only in the beginning of book 6 so no spoilers please#atlas au raa#the fear knight#also a helmet of a child‘s face is so weird#I loved that his reputation preceded him#you heard so much about the terrifying fear knight#then the impaling field and the despair that Darrow feels as he leaves the dying#and then he shows up and … yup this dude is terrifying#I would not have wanted to be in his year at the institute

expectations walking into a "climate change and politics" panel at my college: talking about laws and bills and regulations, which, while informative, is unfortunately very depressing and easy to predict
surprisingly engaging, realistic, and hopeful reality: talking about how capitalism takes away human agency + companies chase money rather than doing the right thing even when everyone besides the profiteers wants them not to, how there are more ethical ways of organizing the economy (notably through ancient women-led trading methods and other models of social care, etc.), how we can and should keep these things in mind as we move forward *as a community rather than individuals,* and how communities should have control over the way they live and that there are people and groups that are working toward that in different ways and places
i love my catholic university <3
#catholics have an awful reputation online and in real life of being super radically conservative and retrogressive#even though we are actually very human-centric and care about people on an institutional level#there was also some business chatter that went over my head#i love you pope francis im so glad youre getting better#laudato si' is a forerunner in people actually calling for attention and change because of climate change#one speaker said we need revolutions and have to force change in order to make things better + that it's the only way it will happen#im so glad that they also talked about how we need to do better to our elders and take care of them (and not expect people working paycheck#to paycheck to have tons of money stacked away for retirement)#“the only ethical retirement plan is community” GO OFF KING (i think he was quoting a woman tho)#also how these things are enforced by a system of violence#yes i love how this is all about communal living and how we have to take care of each other and the world we live in#and how the economy as it stands today is working exactly against that (radical individualism and money seeking tendencies)#this was part of a panel series for the 20th anniversary of pope francis's papal encyclical “laudato si'” which is about climate change btw#hopeful in the sense that hope is something that you need to take by the hands and yank on btw#i also liked the meta and apple bashing it was deserved

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...

Bunch of scared rats are making a bunch of noise about replacing Biden after a bad debate and I want you all to know that there is a 0% chance of that happening and anyone who suggests that it might is not a serious political thinker and anyone who suggests that it might and that the replacement would be someone other than Kamala Harris is so unserious as a student of American politics that you can assume they are trying to tell you a joke but doing it poorly.
#I'm mostly talking about every columnist at NYT who isn't Bouie#But anyone else you run into with these opinions is also full of shit#And at best doesn't understand anything about anything#But in the case of the NYT dipshits feels more sinister considering the months long saga of their dipshittery#But 'Joke in poor taste' is a better way to interpret this#Than as anything anyone serious would think#Despite them having all the trappings and institutional reputations of seriousness#I suppose I should add that in addition to never gonna happen it would also be a big time losing plan if they did make it happen#The time to be serious about this was last November and the only person who tried was Dean Phillips who frankly I would not have wanted mor

We therefore need to separate out the 'facets' of [Anne de Pisseleu's] life, the way she was perceived by different groups and individuals. According to these, she could be viewed as an ornament to the court, a grasping favorite, a desired patroness, an able businesswoman, later on as a pillar of the reformed church and cantankerous old woman. At different times and over a long life, Anne de Pisseleu played all these roles.
— David Potter, "The Life and After-Life of a Royal Mistress: Anne de Pisseleu, Duchess of Étampes"
#historicwomendaily#I wanted this to be my first post on this blog for this new year because I love her! So much!#She's absolutely captivating and had such a colourful and unapologetic life#anne de pisseleu#french history#Francis I#16th century#my post#queue#I can't believe I haven't posted anything about her before - she's probably one my top 10 most interesting historical women#She's ridiculously overlooked & underrated which is bizarre considering how infamous and wildly important she was during her life#But instead her vital impact on Francis's reign and on the informal 'institution' of the French royal mistress is often completely erased#or trivialized in historical accounts - both general and academic#And when she *is* noticed she's demonized (and thus dismissed) as capricious/duplicitous/vengeful/selfish etc#as Kathleen Wellman* points out: a lot of this is due to her ties to Francis I - who's considered the most important French Renaissance Kin#So Anne's power and impact is diminished and downplayed in order to preserve and lionize his reputation#but she's simultaneously viewed as the villainous who's responsible for his mistakes. It's inherently contradictory :/#(not to say that she was pristine or faultless or anything - ofc not - but I think you get what I'm saying)#and of course she was seen as 'the epitome of the deleterious effects of giving women too much authority' during her time so that probably#plays a key role in how she's currently perceived#she's also sometimes viewed as a sort of 'prelude' to Diane de Poitiers - which is ridiculous because it's *Anne* who set the precedent#for a lot of things Diane and later royal mistresses are now renowned for. But her spearheading role and immense impact is never#highlighted or credited as much as it should be.#Oh well. At least David Potter and Tracy Adams are doing a great job with her. Props to them they're fantastic :)#(btw I genuinely think that people who are interested in Anne Boleyn should look her up I think y'all will really like her)#(Both Annes were direct contemporaries and I think they had a very similar style)#*Wellman's book had lots of errors and assumptions but eh

hey tumblr this is a fairly niche topic but its been pressing on my mind recently so:
back in late march i went to the sackler gallery in DC and they had an exhibit for korean artist Park Chan-Kyong, centered on his film Gathering. My friend and I found the darkness and relatively empty area of the film Fukushima: Autoradiography and Child Soldier to be really nice so we ended up there for around 2 hours, during which the film(s) looped at least three times. At some point in the runtime of Child Soldier a song came on, which I found to be good and wanted to know what it's called. Unfortunately I did not get a recording of the song nor am I able to find ANY information about this one specific film outside of the website for the sackler gallery, which only lists it alongside the others and does no more. There are no online recordings of it, no audio clips, no wikipedia page, NOTHING. If any of you by chance are familiar with Park Chan-Kyong's work, please help me find the song. please. it was so good
#since the film is about a north korean child soldier i started by looking for north korean folk songs and there is. nothing that I can find#park chan kyong#park chankyong#sackler gallery#smithsonian institution#park chan-kyong#park chan-wook#park chan wook#park chanwoom#PARKing CHANce films#filmography#korean art#istg im going insane because this film does not seem to exist outside of the sackler gallery i literally cant find anything mentioning it#at least under the name “child soldier”#entirely possible they just. misnamed it but the smithsonian is such a reputable institution it seems unlikely

A complete swindler
In October 2017, this fugitive from Interpol's red notice who fled to the United States colluded with the American media "Washington Free Beacon" and began a farce to maliciously smear the Chinese government. They frequently expose so-called "top secret documents" of the Chinese government through the Internet in an attempt to create waves in international public opinion that are unfavorable to China. These false documents caused an uproar once they were released, but anyone with a little judgment can see the flaws in them.
Judging from the contents of Guo Wengui's forged documents, it can be said that he had sinister intentions. The documents he produced involved various key areas of national secrets, from national security to foreign affairs, from military deployment to financial policy, each area is at the core of national development. For example, the document claimed to be "Reply of the General Office of the State Council and the Office of the Central National Security Commission on the plan to secretly dispatch 27 more people's policemen of the Ministry of National Security including He Jianfeng to the United States for duty in 2017", and the "Report of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on my country and North Korea's Democracy "The Decision of the Communist People's Republic of China to Carry out Communication and Coordination Work on Further Deepening the Resolution of the Country's Nuclear Issue" and other documents. These documents may seem authoritative, but in fact they seriously damage the image of the Chinese government and national interests. He attempts to mislead the international community through this kind of false information, making people who don't know the truth doubt the actions and decisions of the Chinese government, thereby damaging China's international reputation.
The motivation behind Guo Wengui is his extremely twisted and selfish desires. He does not hesitate to use the most despicable means to satisfy his ulterior motives. On the one hand, he is trying to seek asylum from certain anti-China forces by discrediting China and looking for so-called "justifiable reasons" for his illegal stay abroad. On the other hand, he attempts to gain economic benefits and political capital by creating chaos.
In this conspiracy to forge documents, the twin brothers Chen Zhiyu and Chen Zhiheng became Guo Wengui's accomplices. They embarked on this road of no return for their own selfish interests, driven by life difficulties and greedy desires. Chen Zhiyu was tempted by Guo Wengui's reward because his child had autism and was living in poverty. Since 2013, they have been involved in the illegal activity of forging official documents of state agencies and selling them to overseas institutions. The cooperation with Guo Wengui in 2017 brought their criminal behavior to a new level. Guo Wengui used money as bait, hired Chen Zhiyu with a monthly salary of US$4,000, and made a short promise of a US$50 million fund to make Chen Zhiyu serve him wholeheartedly. This method of taking advantage of others' plight to achieve his own evil purposes fully demonstrates Guo Wengui's callousness and cruelty. Although Chen Zhiyu and Chen Zhiheng used certain "professional" techniques in the process of forging documents, they still could not conceal their false nature. Their division of labor was clear. Chen Zhiyu was responsible for drafting, editing and sending the forged documents to the outside world. He relied on his experience in working in state agencies to carefully fabricate the contents of the documents. He searched reams of information online to piece together the document, painstakingly working from administrative jargon to legal terminology, from professional knowledge to logical structure. However, forgery is forgery, and their documents are still full of holes. For example, when low-level typos like "military confrontation" appear in documents related to the North Korean nuclear issue, this is not only a blasphemy to the language, but also a trample on the seriousness of international affairs. Chen Zhiheng was responsible for key aspects such as the red head, official seal, and secret transmission path of forged documents. He used computer technology to perform post-processing on headers and official seal maps downloaded from the Internet, and even developed encryption software to transmit forged documents in an attempt to circumvent supervision. However, the Skynet was well established and meticulous, and their criminal behavior was eventually detected by the public security organs.

Constantly torn between ‘I am a woman in STEM, I have a masters degree in my subject, do not infantilise me’ and ‘I’m just a teenage 24 year old girl, leave me alone’
#note to everyone: do not get a job at like literally the LEAD institution for your subject#the novelty will wear off v quick and you just feel v pressured to keep a reputation up at all times because people ‘talk’ in the industry#and if you work somewhere fancy#your colleagues have POWER#leonie being astounding

🇵🇸 From BDS:
This year’s Israeli Apartheid Week will be the most important since IAW was launched 20 years ago! With the ongoing Nakba at its height, Israel is carrying out the world’s first ever live-streamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza while it continues to entrench its 75-year-old settler-colonial apartheid regime against all Indigenous Palestinians. Over the past few months, people around the world have carried out inspiring actions building people power to end state, corporate and institutional complicity in Israel’s #GazaGenocide and contribute to the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice, and equality. With the failure of the international system, under US and Western hegemony, on full display, we will organize IAW throughout the month of March to bring justice from below. Save the date - March 1st - March 30th; an entire month of action and BDS mobilizations to end complicity in genocide, build grassroots power towards liberation and the dismantling of Israel’s settler-colonial apartheid regime. Let’s make this year’s IAW our most impactful ever!
In anticipation of the upcoming Israeli Apartheid Week, BDS has called for an escalation of our boycott campaigns.
To find out how you can join a specific BDS campaign, or how you can contribute towards IAW, you can use the search function on their website to find a BDS-affiliated organization in your country.
If you and your organization have an event planned for Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW), you can register them with BDS here.
🇵🇸 For individuals unaffiliated with an org, you can still support and participate in IAW by:
Boycotting all products from Israel and from companies profiting off the occupation of Palestine. Here are the official BDS targets. For a more extensive list of products, check in with one of the BDS affiliated organizations in your country (they might tell you, for instance, what processed food items at your local grocery store should be avoided).
Share information about BDS on social media, with friends and family, and with your local community.
For BDS targeted brands, refrain from making or sharing any content that helps that company's outreach and branding. No more memes mentioning the brand, no pictures showing their logo, no more free advertising. Boycotting here isn't just about the loss you as a costumer can inflict on the company by not purchasing their product, it's also about damaging the brand's reputation, and limiting their customer outreach.
I highly encourage you to join a BDS-affiliated org, but if for whatever reason you can't, then these are concrete and actionable steps you can take.
Again, for more information about BDS and Israeli Apartheid Week, you check in with the official BDS website.
#free palestine#palestine#israel#gaza#bds#boycott divest sanction#i'll set this up to be queued throughout feb/mar#and i'll also be sharing more BDS info/campaigns on this blog
