Anson Mount and Ethan Peck at FAN EXPO Canada
Some pictures and Twitter reactions of Anson and Ethan's panel today (called "We've Established Contact with Ethan Peck and Anson Mount") at the FAN EXPO convention in Toronto, Canada, August 26 2023.
Strange New Pod posted a clip of the huge waiting line for the panel, writing: "This is the line to see Anson Mount and Ethan Peck. People have been lined up for over an HOUR for this panel and it still doesn’t start for another 45 minutes."
Another fan pointed out: "The longest line at FAN EXPO CANADA I've seen has been for the Anson Mount and Ethan Peck panel. It's wrapping around three hallways. The fact that it's not in a bigger hall here is ridiculous. This video by Strange New Pod was taken 10 min after the line started."
Anson and Ethan were also signing autographs and doing photo ops with fans; more photo ops are tomorrow!

People, and by people I primarily mean lawmakers and the middle to upper classes, treat unhoused people like some mysterious class of poor person, with unknowable needs.
It's in the name pal- unhoused
They don't understand that substance use, psychosis, risk of sexual or physical violence, that these things are the results of homelessness, and only rarely the primary cause.
The primary cause, as always, is two types of poverty: economic and social
If I am economically poor but socially privileged, I have no worries. I know a lot of rich kids like this, who get money from their parents and relatives without being expected to earn any on their own.
If I am economically privileged and socially poor, again, I'm usually fine. Not having friends or relatives to rely on for resources is fine if i have my own.
But if I'm at that intersection of both economic and social disenfranchisement, with no resources and no one to rely on, in an economic and social order that essentially forbids upward mobility for all but the chosen few, and then yeah I catch a bad beat for a couple years, I'm gonna end up on the street.
It's not hard to understand, socio economically, the factors at play.
What is difficult to understand, is why lawmakers hate poor people so much that they'd rather watch us die and slide into poverty, which is many times a death sentence.
I know I'm naive, in that I care about people, but it's more than that. I've watched over 40 of my clients personally die in the war on poverty, and many more from my childhood, my adolescence. I'm fucking sick of it.
Free housing. Case management. Medical and behavioral health care. Transitional housing. Peer based counseling. Tiny home villages. Well managed camps. These are the research based approaches that we know work. Its not some mystery.

@faithfromanewperspective sorry for replying to this in a new post the op blocked me lol 🥴 (which?? idc if you block me but it's weird given the situation like all I did was add other easily provable facts. I'm all for holding Taylor accountable for her actions but misinformation/misconstruing a narrative is equally not helpful) the post had weird vibes too like "Taylor is the Empress" thing. she is quite powerful but even she is still constricted by her contracts with the venues?? idk idk. anyway yeah laws definitely need to change surrounding concerts & events (like the very widespread "no water" rules) especially with climate change but even then. it's water.

Netherlands? Most speak English there. Also, if you speak German, Austria is an option. Parts of Belgium, too
yeah netherlands is likely too, also because i speak german and english so i could learn dutch pretty easily, but i don't know there's just something about Blonde Europe that scares me. the thing is germany is like ideal for me coz i fucking love cold weather and I've been there dozens of times AND i speak german but there's just something within me that's deeply resistant of accepting my fate and i don't know why

out of the g8, who spits and who swallows?
Good question, I haven’t really thought about this before so I’ll do it now and just wing this 🥰
Spits: Germany (at least the first few times, he’s got to get used to it), Japan (idk I just can’t see him enjoying swallowing tbh), Russia (only swallows for the most special people on very special occasions), England (it depends on the situation/characterisation for him! spits if it fits the scene idk degrading his partner by saying he’s not gonna swallow this filth or sth)
Swallows: Canada (likes it cause it’s something intimate to him), America (does it from the beginning even tho he doesn’t like it that much at first and only gets used to it over time), France (duh), Italy (duh again), England (it depends on the situation/characterisation for him! swallows if he wants to reward his partner or if he’s too far into subspace to think about it)
