Well!
So first, let's clear a common misconception: no, President Abraham Lincoln did not love Black people nor see them as human equals. At best he was centrist about it (though, even his implication that 'exceptional' Black men ought to vote got him assassinated).
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do, it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union...I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."
The "freeing of slaves" after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 was meant to kneecap the economic and military powers of the seceded South. Lettuce stop making a white savior figure out of Lincoln, or thinking that my people's shackles were unchained via anything other than desperate war strategy and extreme violence. Think on that, for a moment.
That being said!
But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.
Consider going through the Smithsonian website to learn about Juneteenth! Recognize why it's an actual day of freedom, versus July 4th and the independence of a select few.

It's Juneteenth yall. And I'm not letting this day go unmarked.
Black people fight for everybody. We stand in solidarity with women, lgbt people, poor people all over the world of every skin color and background. Every religion and nationality.
Today, stand with us. Be with us. Tell a black person you love them. Hug a black person (with consent). Ask that hot black girl out today. Make a black person smile. Black lives matter to everybody and you matter to us.
Stand with us on Juneteenth like we stand with you all year round, and I hope a happy Pride month continues for all of us

A couple days ago I was playing guilty gear against random ai opponents and it said this about how I played. Not only did I not know it could say this but I think guilty gear called me a deranged inhuman sicko.

if my real life had a HUD explicitly showing me how all the little things i do every day are contributing to my big picture goals and the growth of my skills well then maybe it would be easier to convince myself to do them
#tip: you can write on any contacts you use to give yourself a HUD in real life#don’t actually do this I haven’t tried it but it seems bad#loading screen tips

Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:
- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain
- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck
- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap
- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill
- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard
- When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style
Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.
#wizardposting#I have a wizard hat I wear every now and then#the one draw back is any harry potter fans out there start inventing new problems and social situations for you against your will

One thing I remember that shows how the game treats Wyll is through the dialogue you can have after he gains horns. In the dialogue you can have with him after he is tortured in hell (what the game says is happening to him when he gains his horns) I was unable to choose a single option that was in any way nice, the best the game allowed me to do was be somewhat passive aggressive. At least when I played this scene (the game is changed a lot so there is a slim chance this could have been changed but it is for Wyll so I highly doubt that any change did happen) every single dialogue option except for one blamed him or said he deserved to be tortured in hell (yet again what the game tells you happens in that scene) for saving an innocent woman, not a single option asked him if he needed help or was able to comfort him.
Ooo nice to see someone like Eurogamer openly calling out Larian for their treatment of Wyll
#his treatment by the game is so awful it is insane#I highly doubt any of Astarion’s scenes make you be this mean or indifferent to him#I actually missed out on his scene about his scars#could someone please tell me whether or not there is an option to say sucks to suck to Astarion#<- that would be the only thing I would want them to add for dialogue involving Astarion those exact words#only limiting myself to talking about this one bit otherwise it would spiral even more out of control

''cleaning your room is punk'' ''taking your meds is punk'' ''watering your plants is punk'' NO IT'S NOT OH MY GOD YOU ARE LOST IN THE SAUCE YOU ARE LOST IN THE SAUCE YOU ARE LOST IN THE SAUCE!!!! ONE THING ABOUT WORDS IS THAT THEY MEAN SOMETHING!!!
Something that immensely pisses me off is using punk as an identity label. It's not, it is not an identity (I'd go as far as to say that adopting it as an identity actively harms you becuase it locks you in the assumption that everything you do is righteous and correct). You don't have to project it onto every single thing that you do or like, you don't have to project it onto fictional characters, Hello Kitty is not punk that bitch doesn't know what a government is. Imagine if we did that with a different adjective like idfk; knowledgable. If you called a dumbass knowledgeable it would be factually incorrect, but a dumbass doesn't have to be knowledgeable to be worth your love. Hatsune Miku doesn't need to be punk to be worth your love. Baking cupcakes with your mom isn't punk, but it doesn't have to be in order to be worth your time. You don't have to justify everything you do with the word punk, it's not a synnonym for cool or based. It has a very specific meaning. You know, like most words. Why are you kneeling in front of a word, and that's not to mention that ''not punk'' is not the opposite of punk. An action can be outside of the punk-facist scale, like fuckin watering your plants, and doing it doesn't make you less punk or anything, you simply have a life outside of politics. You can live that life. You're allowed. For Fucks Sake.
#weirdly large amount of things people call punk on this website are more close to being hippy#how does one confuse the two#I know the idea don’t actually answer that
