I don't wanna hear one more bitch saying that contacting your senators&reps doesn't work

Btw, this is FAR from getting rid of the land selloff from the BBB. Keep at it. Mike Lee specifically is notable because he's from Utah, the state that's pushed for that sell off very heavily for mining income.

I have a dumb question: What does "main story campaign" mean ?

I understand that on 27/6 books 1-7 will get overblot animation but will there also the first part of book 7.5 ?

[Referencing this JP news!]

“Main Story Campaign” refers to a period of time where Twst runs a bunch of small things to promote reading the main story. The main attraction is a series of in-game rewards you can collect for each book of the main story you’ve completed on your Twst account. There will also be various boosts (such as to player EXP and madol/thaumarks gained from Lessons), as well as new temporary material packs in the Mystery Shop (which you can choose to purchase with real money). This is to incentivize players to catch up to the point where the main story has left off in preparation for book 7.5!

Please note that this is NOT the first Main Story Campaign Twst has had; if you have already collected the book completion rewards from previous campaigns, you are NOT eligible for a second round of rewards. There will, however, be a new reward added for completing book 7 (since it has now finished), which everyone should be eligible for.

To clarify on the timing of the events mentioned in the previous news post:

Again, the OB boys (🌹, 🦁, 🐙, 🐍, 👑, 💀, 🐉) will each be getting a solo character song 🎵. These will be released on the Aniplex Youtube channel over the course of July. We do NOT know the posting schedule yet.

There will be 🖊️ new overblot transformation scenes ✨(done by Cloverworks) added to the game on the 27th (June, this month).

No additional information for the 🍔♦️ diner Cater + Chip and Dale 🥤🐿️ event. We will most likely get more details on when this event will run on the last weekday of June (which is when Twst releases the schedule for the next month).

🔥💀 SSR Guardian of the Underworld (aka Overblot) Idia banner will go live on the 27th (June). Please keep in mind that 🎂☀️ Kalim’s birthday banners will still be active until the 30th, so there will be roughly 3 days of overlap between his banners and OB Idia’s.

No news on when the first installment of 📖 book 7.5 will drop. We may hear about it in the July news or we might not, seeing as the Main Story Campaign lasts until early August. Speaking of…

The 📚 Main Story Campaign will last from June 27th to August 1st.

Regarding the new overblot transformation scenes: there is a note from the devs in an in-game news announcement asking fans to ❌ NOT share images or videos of these transformations to social media/publicly for the duration of the Main Story Campaign ❌!! We can still talk about them, but refrain from sharing images or videos until AFTER August 1st. Let’s please respect the devs’ wishes!

If you see someone has posted images/videos of the transformations publicly, you may kindly inform them of the devs’ request and ask them to take down their post 👍

💎 Blazing Jewel merch preorders are open from now until July 6th (11:59 pm, JST).

From Rebecca Solnit:

We the people.

We won the battle of showing up, the battle of caring, the battle of what the values of this country should be. Millions showed up--a million in Boston alone, people in many European cities (and one Irish Trump golf course), people in small towns and big cities, red states and blue (except they're all shades of purple), huge turnouts in many places. I was in transit home from book tour in Europe (and I could've only attended one if I had been here), but the sense I get from all the posts and reports is of good-humored, positive, energized massive crowds of people who found that the basics they had in common--the underlying meanings in No Kings--were plenty to come together, and so they did.

The Crowd Counting Consortium is very carefully methodical so we don't have their numbers and won't for a while but if it was a million in Boston and huge in NY, L.A., and Chicago, and so many smaller communities showed up strongly, it was BIG. It's a reminder that the administration can militarize and attack as they have in Los Angeles but they cannot control the entire population, and a significant percent of that population basically just said they don't plan to be subjugated, intimidated, or suppressed. The right of the people peaceably to assemble was beautifully exercised across the land.

The Parade to Please the President didn't please him that much, being poorly organized and poorly attended and full of, some say, intentionally lackluster performances, soldiers marching or rather stumbling and shuffling like prisoners, and at one point they played an instrumental of Creedence Clearwater's Fortunate Son:

Some folks are born made to wave the flag

Ooh, they're red, white and blue

And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"

Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no senator's son, son

It ain't me, it ain't me

I ain't no fortunate one, no

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop!

Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

Just tuned in to CNN talking about the “thousands” — not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, never mind millions — who turned out yesterday to protest Trump. I had already seen the pictures of protests around the country so I knew they were way off. This is how the media weakens democracy.

And yes, jetlag means I'm posting VERY early."

btw this isn't a vague/subtweet (post?) or anything but just so y'all know, there's a way to mark things as "inspired by" on ao3

I suppose the crowd has spoken.

We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives. Raise. Awareness.

I was watching Dad Beat Dad from Hazbin Hotel and I got to a certain scene where Lilith comes in and takes little Charlie away from Lucifer.

I gotta wonder...why did she do that? It couldn't have just been because it was her bedtime or something.

Did Lilith actually not want Charlie to have any interaction with Lucifer?

One of the reasons why the flaws in Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel don't really bother me is because, to put it simply; you could show me the most amazing, most humanly possible perfect, flawless show imaginable, but if I don't feel emotionally connected to the characters, I literally will not care.

I'm not here for how "technically good" a show is (though, I definitely still think these shows are overall good, just imperfect, and haters can cry about it). I'm here to lose myself in getting emotionally invested, something I literally have no control over when it does or doesn't happen, and at the end of the day that's what these shows give me.

As long as I don't run into any hardcore dealbreakers along the way, that's more than enough for me.
