you guys made luigi mangione trend for days and I need to see the same energy for brianna boston. she is a 43 year old mother of three who ended a phone call with blue cross blue shield (after being denied a claim) “delay deny depose, you’re next” and is now being held under a 100,000$ bond and could face FIFTEEN years of prison if charged. she has no weapons, her record is clean, and yet she is being held behind bars. they are afraid of the public and are trying to subdue. do not let them!!!! say her name!!! be outraged that our freedom of speech is being threatened!!!!! deny defend depose! free brianna boston!

hot take maybe, but my opinion of you automatically dives if the first reaction you have to a cool character is to ask if there’s a c.ai bot of them. write shitty fanfic like the rest of us, or just maladaptive daydream if you must. find a community and rp online!! we’re losing important social and writing skills to a tech product controlled by and overseen by the slimiest, most exploitative billionaires silicon valley has seen in a generation and we’re doing it willingly???

The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity

You know what I think its grossly under-rated in fandom? Second loves.

What it's like to love and lose and then love again. To suffer through either the death of a loved one or the death of a love you used to share. To know that loss, to know that hurt, and to still make yourself vulnerable to someone again. To love scared, to love wounded, to love anyway.

yes there's a lot of things to criticize about Star Wars but one thing i will always love it for is being so unabashedly tragic

i'm sure it's been said before, but one of the main things i think powers the SW fandom (fics in particular) is the (in)evitability of it all

time travel fix-its are one of the most popular sub-categories of fics that i've seen (for the prequels at least) but i see it much more rarely in other fandoms. i know each fandom has their own niches that they dig into but star wars fic writers took one look at this decades long story of people who were doomed from the start and said 'not in my house bitch'

and i'm never tired of it, because there's so many places where just one different action could have changed the story entirely, but didn't

was it over the moment Palpatine succeeded in feeding Anakin's fears and his distrust toward the Jedi? the moment the Sith gained control of the senate? what about when the war started, when the Jedi were made generals of men designed to be their executioners? what about when Dooku left the order? when Qui-Gon Jinn died, leaving barely-knighted Obi Wan Kenobi to raise a child he had no idea how to care for? when the Jedi massacred the Mandalorians at Galidraan, leaving Jango Fett primed (hah) for revenge? when Palpatine, and thus the Sith, first gained influence? when the Jedi were tied to the Republic, all the way back at the Ruusan Reformation?

there are so many little moments that turn into this huge web of cause and effect when you take a step back. and in canon, these characters are dooming themselves while we watch, but what reason do they have to do anything different? they don't know they're in a tragedy - its dramatic irony at its goddamn finest

but there's this thing about decisions: for it to be a choice, there has to be another option. and our heroes make their mistakes because that's what they do, while we aren't privy to that other option, leaving that little what-if. it's a favorite human pastime, to think about what might have been.

we start at episode 4, though, fourty or so years after what you could arguably call the start, and find ourselves watching the dominoes fall in place throughout 1, 2, and 3.

and we can hate the choices, hate the tragedy, hate what happened to our beloved characters, but we knew. we had the luxury of knowing.

it's a love story, it's political intrique, it's sci-fi at its finest, and they were dead from the start.

I'm very bad at posts like this but if people want to help then whatever can be done is very much appreciated

On August 2nd, a hit and run suspect driving on the highway lost her wheel and the rim of her tire cast sparks on the dry grass near my parent's property where my husband, myself, and our Ark of Animals lived in our Winnebago RV.

The grass caught the bushes and the bushes caught the trees, and the trees caught the RV. And so on and so forth.

We were alerted of the fire by people driving by that had actually tried to stop it, but when a strong breeze blew the fire out of control, they ran to pound on our door. We had 60 seconds for get dogs and ferrets out before going back in to look for cats but by then the RV was already on fire and starting to come apart.

Within 30 minutes we lost pretty much everything except the clothes on our backs. The fire spread to the back, where luckily someone had thought to cut the fence to set my horses loose, where they were soon rounded up by a neighbor. They managed to save the main house but the rest of the property was leveled; from our RV to the 1000 square-foot storage building, to the barn. 5 acres just wiped out.

We lost our car, my truck, two horse trailers, 20 years of horse equipment, 13 years of archery gear, and most tragically, two cats.

We have to rebuild from the ground up. Thanks to the kindness of friends and strangers, we were given a car, most of my tack has been replaced, and I'm on my way to having my archery arsenal replaced but that does need me in need of a truck and horse trailer, as well as feed and building materials. I'm working full time but winter comes fast and it's just going to get more difficult.

If you have a couple spare dollars lying around, here is my

Also, I feel the need to say, if you don't want to donate to a faceless person on a random hell site, please please PLEASE consider doning to the Red Cross if your able, or reblog if you're not.

Many thanks and much love 💚🫶
