couples counselling au is magical. is it true that there's a holiday story? I guess it's on ko-fi? if yeah obviously totally respect but if it's on ao3 i can't find 🥺

regardless ty so so much for the amazing story!! ♥️ Absolutely live for the fix-its where okay, palps is dead and obikin and company are alive but the emotional work still has to be done, Anakin is not adjusting, Obi-Wan isn't adjusting, Jedi order isn't adjusting, lol.

also I do have to add, I'm surprised you don't go for obianidala/anidala just because you write anakin and padmé together very well! Admittedly with an obvious side of it not lasting. but still written super talentedly regardless!

hello hello there IS a holiday couples counseling au story - it's a part of my holiday stories collection on ao3! here is the link, though to warn you, this takes place in a nebulous time further into the story that we haven't gotten to yet. in the author's note, i linked the story on a03 and the link to the tumblr tag, where there are more short ficlets and answered asks about the story!

also aww i'm glad you enjoy my take on anidala - thank you for saying i can write it well! i don't think i would ever actually write it or obianidala, that's just not me. when i write the pairing, i spend way too much time emphasizing all the problems they have and how incompatible they are and how their break-up is inevitable, and that's pretty much my thoughts on the ship (i'm sorry to multishippers on my blog!!) but i do try really hard to write padmé as a whole character though, not just a stepping stone to get to obikin and maybe that's why it comes off as being written well? i don't really like fics where padmé's only there to get in the way of the end-ship and i also don't like fics where she gracefully steps aside so that obi-wan and anakin can be together, so many of my stories that feature anidala on some level (couples counseling, a more perfect union) take a look at all the flaws in their relationship but also the flaws in both her and anakin. for me, it makes her feel like a more rounded character, and maybe it comes across as a fleshed out relationship that could possibly survive if not for- (enter obi-wan, stage left)

Stop i just saw the funniest fucking thing . some super conservative posted a picture of Trump leading the polls in 2020 and it was captioned "before the votes stopped being counted" like WEJWJDJDNCJKS baby's first poll

MY LOCAL BOARD OF SUPERVISORS JUST APPROVED THE CONSTRUCTION OF 23 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF DATA CENTERS IM SO FUCKING MAD

The community has been fighting this for years. YEARS. And the motion passed by 4-3, with one abstaining. This project will butt up as far as it possibly can to a national park and swallow around 2,100 acres of farmland. The data centers have been systematically pitting the owners of that land against each other to get them to sell. Voters turned out in RECORD NUMBERS last election to oust the incumbent chair and replace her with an anti-data center politician, and we won! And it STILL didn't matter because the board rushed the vote and passed it before the changeover. Fuck data centers fuck politicians who don't listen to their constituents I think I am going to cry

Did you know?

Democrats have won the popular vote in seven out of the last eight presidential elections going back to 1992? The only time the GOP has won the popular vote in the last 36 years in a presidential election was in 2004, and it was a pretty narrow margin. This was a wartime election and the first election post-9/11. The Democratic candidate was the unfortunately uninspiring John Kerry, who had been lied about. You know how in politics we say someone has been "swiftboated" when a successful lie is told about them? That term originates with the 2004 election because a bunch of people concocted an elaborate lie about John Kerry's military service. He wasn't super inspiring as a candidate, but that was the worst thing he did. He wasn't a bad guy. He was just running in a very gross, jingoistic time after the worst terror attack in American history, and had a bunch of successful lies told about him to the point where a whole word about a specific kind of lie was invented about it. THIS is the only time since 1988 that the Republican party has won the popular vote. George W. Bush did not win the popular vote in 2000. The Supreme Court ordered that votes stop being counted in Florida and handed the victory to Bush.

Donald Trump has never ever won the popular vote. The electoral college handed him the victory in 2016, less than 15,000 votes across three states decided the election. Hillary Clinton in total won about 3.7 million more votes than Donald Trump. Trump HATES hearing this number. He hates even more that Joe Biden got about 7 million more votes. He hates even more that you bring up the fact that he lost his midterm elections for his party in 2018, badly. And that the "Red Wave" in 2022 did not happen because of backlash at his Supreme Court. Or that in 2023 voters continued to reject his Supreme Court at the polls.

He knows, the Republicans know, that if more people vote, they lose. They don't want small d democracy. They want authoritarianism. They want to suppress it.

So when you get cute about not wanting to vote, you're not doing activism. You're surrendering.
