Aight here we go.

I wasn’t going to make a big deal out of this but some of y’all crazy motherfuckers up in my ask box calling me (a literal victim of pedophilia) a pedo and cussing me out simply because I added they/them pronouns to my profile. Let’s get this fuckery over with.

You all are making the nature of your “activism” really obvious at this point. It is clear to me now that a lot of you do not actually care about ending violence against babies in utero, or women’s health, or really anything that matters or that I blog about. What you care about is making sure everyone else matches your exact ideology, and mercilessly bullying the people who do not.

I have struggled with who I am for a long time. I have struggled with my trauma, my recent divorce, my religious beliefs (which I have never posted about here), and yes- my gender identity.

I am fully comfortable with my biology. I do not hate my uterus, my breasts, or my vagina. I do not hate men, or women, or pro choicers or prolifers. I feel I have worked hard to make that abundantly clear on this page. Here is what I do hate: I hate violence against innocence, I hate senseless bullying and discrimination, I hate pretending you are advocating for something important and bigger than yourself, and then being an absolute dickhead to people who would otherwise be on your side. If the words that I choose to use in reference to myself upset you THAT much, please unfollow me. Please block me. Please feel free to stew and whine and cry all day every day.

But for the love of all things holy, do not pretend you are advocating for anything other than your own personal, controlling, narcissistic agenda.

I identify as a demigirl. I choose to use they/them pronouns. I am bisexual. I’m learning to be proud of who I am, and it doesn’t change my activism in the slightest. If you agreed with what I posted before, but cannot stand me anymore… the only shifting variable is your willingness to listen. Not who I am, and not what I am saying.

I'm only going to talk about this ONCE in this tag, and never again since people are demanding you make your stance clear:

My stance is— the sooner y'all learn to separate the actor from the character, the sooner you'll have inner PEACE.

Like I have never once said I agree with noah's views, but that has nothing to do with will byers as a fictional character, or byler as a fictional pairing. I am only here on ST tumblr for these fictional entities. Noah himself has said that besides both of them being gay, he's nothing like Will (and before he came out, he used to say he's 100% not like Will at all). So maybe that gives you all some solace.

But if you CAN'T separate the actor from the character, you're always free to leave the fandom. Just don't be out here harassing, attacking, bothering people who do continue to enjoy ST and byler as always.

#byler #also anyone using this situation to say antisemetic or homophobic things about noah or anyone else? big fuck you to them #and i don't support doxxing or violent threats towards him either #maybe put all that energy and drive to protesting and speaking out against your political leaders #you know? the people who actually have an authority and direct effect on this issue? obviously not the 19yo actor waving dumbass stickers

"If enough of us vote third party for president, we could actually GET somewhere with our policy goals!"

Baby girl you can't even get a majority of third party/independents in a single state legislature. In the past 30 years there have been seven independent/third party state governors, and of those, only three were genuinely independent. The rest either got elected as a R/D and switched mid-term when they alienated themselves from their state party, got elected as I and then switched to R/D during their terms (with some of them having served the R/D parties before), or served as proxy candidates with heavy backing and support from one of the major two parties. Even VERMONT, a relative stronghold for independent/third party candidates -- the place that brought you Bernie Sanders -- doesn't have a majority of third party candidates. And when I call them a stronghold, I mean they are the only state (I know of) that consistently elects (less than a handful of) Independent candidates to the state legislature; the place is still dominated by Ds and Rs.

"The highest power in the land can't actually be voted on so there's no reason to vote for the democrats"

Hey princess here are some high school civics question for you: How are Supreme Court judges nominated? :) By what process are they appointed? Who starts that process? :) Why is the Supreme Court considered reflective of who has won the presidency? :)

#the reason you 'cant get anywhere' with your policies is bc youre not the political strategists you think you are #some of you barely know how your own government functions and it fucking shows #and it would be one thing if i looked in ur bios and u were like. 15 or smthg.#but 30?!?!?! you're 30 yrs old and you dont understand that the rsn rvw was overturned under biden is bc trump got his foot in the door???#youre 30 and youll rant abt the long lasting effects of reagan's presidential policies but you cant fathom trump might have left #a similarly long-lasting legacy??#youre 30 and you think the echo chamber you put yourself in on the internet is proof that clrly a vast majority of ppl agree w u #and theres no need to play politics when the democrats couls just wave their wands and fix everything if they werent so evil #despite the fact that both of the ladt two elections about half the population was voting for trump???#the tight margins btwn repub and democrat in congress shld tell you that #you are 30 and dont understand what strategic voting is?#youre 30 and you dont understand the difference between state laws and federal laws #youre 30 and youre upset that joe biden is a 'fascist dictator' but not in the way that gives you everything you want?#youre 30 and youre acting like biden and the dems operate in a vacuum without interference feom political enemies and #moneyed interests that have thrown up lawsuits and obstructionist tactics and misinformation #everytime the try to do something good?#youre 30 and you think palestine will be saved if joe's not in office when the only other viable candidate in the running #was cozy with netanyahu and advocated 'finishing the job' re:palestine and moved the embassy to jerusalem #in a clr fuck you to any palestinian feelings?#youre 30??? youre 30 and you never outgrew the 'mommy and daddy made me mad so I'm gonna smoke to get back at them' mentality???

Political Machinations, Source (Ayreon) Edition

Have some headcanons.

Whatever country on Alpha the story takes place in is a presidential democracy. You never really get into specifics, but there’s two “abnormal” points to consider: legislation moves considerably faster than, say, the US system, and immigrants are allowed to run for president so long as they are naturalized citizens having lived in the country for ten years.

About two years pre-‘Frame takeover, the dominant political party was a group of standard pro-industrialization idiots, whose actions had just come back to bite them in the ass what with the pollution and withdrawal of aid from international powers over petty fights and such. The president (not Russell) eventually resigned halfway through his term in total defeat, kickstarting a new election. This is done two years after another abrupt resignation by Simone Simons (Counselor), his personal therapist, who saw how volatile things had become in the political sphere and didn’t want to be involved anymore.

The next most powerful party in government for the last five years had been a group called the Conservationists, environmentalists led by The Opposition Leader, who we’ll just call Tommy, an argumentative political minister with a history of ecoterrorism early in his career. This is where most of the album characters naturally place their loyalties, on account of them being mostly scientists who like the focus on rejection of unnecessary technology and healing of the planet and such. Said characters form a sort of “inner circle,” existing outside of politics but still using influence to push the party’s agenda, sometimes using underhanded tactics:

The Biologist (Floor) is the technical founder of the party, organizing support and pushing Tommy into politics a little over ten years pre-TDTTWD. She continues influencing policy, public image and recruitment.

The Captain (Tobias) is an engineer with billions in inheritance money and influence over the space program he’s happy to drain into the cause, so long as they entertain his ideas of leaving Alpha entirely. They have an odd, careful agreement that they’ll let him go nuts with his exodus spaceship antics, but only if things are REALLY hopeless. He has personal motivation as well, having known Tommy for over almost twenty years.

He’s also unintentionally helpful to public opinion of the party, as he’s native to the country, while the other “bosses” (Tommy and Floor), are both immigrated.

The Historian (James) conducts funded research in environmental history at the capital city university lots of characters are affiliated with. He’s publicly affiliated with the party, leaving him on thin ice with said uni (on account of them desperately accepting funding from shady sources that support “over-evolution” and rejection of natural preservation as a necessity. This leads to to massive bias in research and teaching within the institution, sometimes going as far as outright censorship). But he’s crafted a very odd strategy to support the Conservationists and still keep his position, that is publishing work with wildly opposing viewpoints so the school can’t accuse him of leaning one way or the other. So like, he’ll write a scathing commentary on increasing lack of breathable air in lower city levels and its causes, and before he can be targeted for it he’ll whip out a journal article about how it’s actually totally fine if all the fish are dying because it’s good for the economy. He feigns neutrality through pure confusion while the actual party uses select research of his to promote their cause.

The Astronomer (Hansi) is in a similar predicament. He’s a high level professor with ties to Floor, who abandoned a teaching career herself to join in on Tommy’s politics and tried to take Hansi with her. He refused initially, too attached to his job security to take a risk like that. He did eventually join in, but only after the party came to more substantial power (and when the state of the planet got substantially worse). His situation is a peculiar one, though. He’s still intent on keeping his job, but uses it for the party’s benefit. In short he preaches their ideology in his completely unrelated astronomy classes, in hopes of educating and swaying younger people (often coming from very wealthy backgrounds) to their efforts. Amazingly, he’s been able to do this for years without being suspected on a large scale. Floor is the only one that even knows about his involvement.

The Prophet and The Preacher (Nils and Zaher) are exactly that. Religious figures that run a local, newly popular religion related to the Universal Migrator.

The Migrator’s existence is a relatively new discovery, made at this capital university, and the nature of it caused people to question already established religions on Alpha. It’s an actual answer to the deepest questions in the known universe, and it destabilized faith in other higher powers while spawning a religion of its own, with Zaher being one of its earliest public figures. A few years later, Nils gained his prescience spontaneously, and attributed it to The Migrator which he learned about through his research in theoretical astronomy. In reality Nils’ visions and the Migrator have almost no relation (it’s actually Time Telepathy but that’s a whole other can of worms), but it’s not like HE knows that. He leaves the university, declares his faith and starts working with Zaher to spread it.

The religion’s popularity skyrockets once Nils gets involved. His visions are, apparently, founded in reality. All at once, the Migrator’s existence and power is proven while also appearing to have more spiritual qualities than its hardcore scientific discovery likes to admit.

More importantly, those visions validate practically everything the Conservationists promote (the end of the world via technology, etc), and at Tommy’s request Nils and Zaher affiliate themselves with him. The party now appeals to a new and LARGE demographic, even if it alienates members of other religions. At this point the Migrator one has become the dominant faith in the country anyways.

Everything is great. We’re influencing politics in a real way. We’re making progress.

Except we’re not doing it fast enough.

So says Russell, some GUY who shows up out of nowhere trying to run for president when Tommy would otherwise have campaigned completely unopposed. His whole shtick, of course, is using the Frame to solve all the world's problems and he presents it in a very hopeful and upbeat tone. He’s recruited the singular competent person from the previous presidential administration, The Diplomat (Mike), who had lots of public favor given that he was the one keeping the shitshow in one piece for years on end. Mike vouches for him and this is very helpful but it’s supplementary to Russell's specific talents.

Against the Conservationists-their endless funding, big name supporters and heaps of evidence and political experience-Russell has something none of them do, even the previous president before him: the ability to pacify the public. Tommy and Floor, two people with insane and unchecked environmental anxiety, are very prone to using scare tactics in their politics. Promises of Alpha's destruction if they don’t heed their warnings combined with Tommy's aggressive rhetoric and tone of voice. The previous president loved deflection and false promises, standard government official behavior. But Russell is a calming, charismatic and genuinely positive person that seems almost docile next to the others, and in that he’s the 'comfortable' option. He makes people feel safe and is offering a fast, even possible solution to their suffering. People LOVE him.

This whips everyone into a panic. The Conservationists supposedly know that the Frame will turn on humanity and out of their fear, that gradually becomes the main focus of their campaign. So much power is turned against Russell that they seem even more aggressive to people than they did before, no matter what they stand for and they start losing credibility. Eventually, obviously, Russell obtains the presidency, a month before TDTTWBD.

As a show of good faith, the losers are invited to Russell's inauguration. Floor, the more reasonable of her group, is hopeful that if they play along for a while then they can corner Russell and talk him out of his Frame plan. All that goes down the drain when Russell lets a snarky comment slip during his speech and Tommy, hopeless and erratic, starts beating his lights out in public. Him and several higher ups on his side are arrested for attempted assassination, setting off a domino effect of trials and investigations (including Hansi and James) over the next few weeks as the party is legally dissolved.

From there, into the main plot, viewpoints of characters begin to unravel. Russell's whole Frame plan existed because he KNEW there was no other option, and soon enough Floor starts understanding that. All of a sudden as the literal apocalypse rages outside, Tobias’ plan has become the most reasonable, the Nils’ visions shift accordingly. Tommy is released from death row on Russell’s orders, and a hinge point of the two’s conflict is wondering if he did that out of actual compassion or because he knew Tommy would have done far more damage as a martyr. Everyone gets to grapple with how little the work they poured their lives into mattered now that Alpha is gone.

Et cetera, et cetera. Sorry I didn’t talk about Chemist, maybe he’ll have his own post. Man is his own mess that doesn’t even become plot relevant until Star of Sirrah.

I love blue beetle and its message and I wish more people had watched it and I understand that the lack of promotion both because of the strikes and because the studios don't give a shit has affected it negatively and the role that racism/xenophobia play in people's disinterest towards the characters in general BUT PLEASE let's also not forget about superhero fatigue

#i keep seeing people complain about the marvels and blue beetle flopping like: we finally got representation and people aren't showing up #and honestly have they considered that these movies (although valuable stories) are being made in part as a last ditch attempt at relevancy #marvel didn't make the Black Widow movie when it thought it had something to lose which ironically would've been a better statement than #those post-mortem crumbs they tossed at us with it #black adam shang chi blue beetle eternals and whatever else... people forget these studios need audience more than the audience needs them #they're not doing it cause representation suddenly matters (and I don't mean creators and especially not poc I mean the suits)#they're doing it cause they have something to gain and nothing to lose that they're aren't losing already (attention/public interest)#and above all else: money #so sure it's upsetting that one of my favorite superheroes is not getting the love he deserves but look at the market baby #we're fucking tired and these crumbs don't help and the political climate is a mess #studios wave diversity on our faces and even preach some good messages but then they go and put their money where exactly?#hm.#blue beetle #marvel #dceu

6, 11, and 20 for Vic on the tech ask meme? :3

ty ty :3c Questions are here!

6. Write out a text exchange between them and another OC. You know i had to drag poor Valentine into this <3 Created using @luvwich's cp77 message thread generator!

11. Are they the kind of person who takes selfies? Oh absolutely. While the volume she takes has vastly decreased since the '20s (she still has a significant portion of these saved, a majority of them having a certain Elvis gemini posing with her and more than a few with Smasher in his Samson frame)

she stills snaps one every now and then, usually mirror selfies. Like is she supposed to not take a picture when she looks so damn good?

20. What’s in their email inbox? To preface unlike a certain someone (me, hi) Victoria has a disgustingly organised inbox - folders upon folders with a system that makes sense to her but not immediately obvious to anyone who might be snooping where they shouldn't be, but as for what you might find;

a disgusting amount of meeting invites, from 15-min catch ups over coffee to 8hr+ ordeals

Correspondence relating to the OIZYS project, including notifications on who enters the allocated floor and when.

A thread started by Arthur Jenkins in '76; marked urgent and strongly worded. Outright threatening by his third response in a way best described as professionally thuggish, following that Smasher was CC'd in.

Smasher's mailbox and calendar, she has Send On Behalf permissions for the former and editor permissions for the latter. Includes a shit ton of gig requests even after her intense filtering that auto-declines those that include key phrases (ie 'no collateral' etc)

Emails between her and Smasher; usually short and dry, typically in relation to gigs and any assigned arasaka business

Requests from Michiko Arasaka for her to help with an assortment of things relating to Danger Gal

Exchanges with Danger Gal agents that seem harmless enough :)

A plethora of (legitimate) offers and discounts on fancy ass shit that is still eye-wateringly expensive even with 15% off.

Multiple newsletters, relating to breakthroughs and updates across a great many fields. Also several on fashionware.

All of these would be organised into folders as i mentioned if not deleted, but the one email that's not and sits almost pride of place in her inbox is from Yorinobu Arasaka, dated 2053, informing her of her re-reinstatement as Smasher's assigned netrunner due to her understanding of how he works and ability to 'keep pace' where the replacements he attempted to assign died trying.

#ty for the ask mwah #ask game #Victoria Crane #and now to ramble in the tags cos i Must #originally i had a text dialogue between them of Vic leaving Val a clown nose :)#Victoria's position within counter intel is kinda a limbo thing #technically she is an agent but she doesn't answer to the usual channels #BUT Jenkins saw himself as her superior and got pissy when she politely told him to fuck off with an assignment #i love the idea of Jenkins 'professional thuggish' being met with Smasher's outright thuggish and casual disrespect #he stopped trying to wave his dick around with her right quick after that

I have fallen in love with NL public transportation, Albert Heijn, my neighbors, my bakfiets, the forest and tampouce.

I hate the fact that it feels like the Dutch just clearly don’t want my money 😂 the amount of roadblocks I’ve hit trying to get things and pay for things is STUPID. The US is quick to take your money- soooo quick and very quick to offer credit and financing which neither of those things are for the greatest good but they sure do come in handy when you really need it and when you’ve grown up used to it/that’s the only way you know life works- having to experience something entirely different is hard.

#personal #oh and I’m pretty sure the lady who lost her shit at a Dutch breakfast place about the slow service was American and I kinda felt bad #for everyone because it’s a cultural difference #she wasn’t trying to be rude it’s just in the IS service is VERY different #you don’t bother waitresses-they bother you 😂#whereas here it’s the opposite- if you don’t wave for them they will never come around #and that’s not rude to them- to them that is polite #or so I have learned

I assume they go to the same places because they know the stadiums have grass fields (I think that's a requirement) and that they're cheap to book. Those are the only explanations I have lol

Yeah but there has to be other places with grass that also aren’t the places we’ve been to a million times. I also have concerns with the fact that these games are being played in TX and FL, which are extremely hostile to the queer community.

Idk if this will improve in the Hayes era, given Chelsea’s attendance numbers.

#mel answers #uswnt #many thoughts #like the SD Wave girlies (and probably others but I’m just remembering them) wore shirts in protest to Orlando games #players are well aware of the political climates in FL and TX #and do not like it

rotating in my head the way the bureaucracy of the twin adders hates eyrie for weird legal situations

#it’s a funny legality of how after the bloody banquet eyrie was discharged from the twin adders #1) to protect the adders from any conflicts with the crystal braves and 2)#to keep eyrie safe by keeping either side in ignorance as to the affairs going on #they were reinstated after the Dragonsong war but there was a catch—eyrie refused to accept it #legally they have not accepted being reinstated as an officer for the twin adders #that is fueled not by spite over the banquet but because they never wanted to join in the first place #it was pressed upon them by the scions that they join a grand company #and eyrie was never really keen to be tied down—an attitude they wanted to protect as they grew in fame #as a member of the scions they didn’t want to be politically attached #and they certainly would be politically attached #plus being back in a military setting after their time with the garleans was NOT the move #a military hierarchy is the same no matter what—politics included #the way it makes them feel to be around that environment again is. not great #but yeah they refuse to accept it and live in a limbo state #they very easily could be discharged again but they don’t like waving power around like that #and they do get some amusement out of being a bother #even if they are just a small one #owen talks #oc: eyrie kisne

piqued-curiosity/714824491771035648 and this is the post it's about: biphobia-central/710642957130268672 I'm sorry to gossip but this pisses me off so much. She really thinks it's ridiculous and unjust that bi women are mad she went out of her way to express support and admiration for a rape apologist that said bi women are just like TIMs. Of course she'll lecture bi women for "getting hung up" on something stupid and trivial like what worthless dick worshipers we are, but she won't ever ever criticize her friends reblogging those things uncritically. She doesn't see it as a bad thing if the woman she reblogged it from believes all those things lol the bad guys are obviously the dick worshipers that won't tell her she's justified for supporting this. Also like.... she's seriously comparing a random tumblr user that calls bi women dick worshipers to Andrea Dworkin? The prostitution and rape survivor that spent her life campaigning for women? Yeah Dworkin said some out there stuff but she's living in some fairy tale if she thinks Dworkin wasn't heavily criticized always. Just shows how she thinks the rape and effort of OSA women are insignificant compared to merely being a lesbian. Why doesn't she compare her beloved to the other random tumblr users here and now who get called porno shit by her buddies like once a month for saying they have a bf?

If someone frequently uncritically likes, reblogs, and interacts with biphobic/lesbophobic/misogynistic others, it's generally because they agree with the biphobic/lesbophobic/misogynistic others. Oh, it's infuriating, I just don't understand how some people can see an online friend/mutual make offensive, sexually degrading, or intellectually dishonest comments and simply look the other way. Like, whatever happened to being 'pro-women' and 'female-centric?'

There are unfortunately a huge number of radfems and radblr orbiters who do this and I'm honestly not surprised by P - I see her name pop up when I'm trawling through some of the most hateful biphobic blogs in the likes (but I can't say I know a lot about her specifically) (she's a recommended blog for some of them lol).

The comparison seems really lazy. Who's the rape apologist? Oh, and what do you think of the original 'postmodernism is bisexual supremacy' post?

#i don't disagree with the need to be critical of the second wave radfems - some of them were/are incredibly lesbophobic #(like julie bindel sheila jeffries marge piercy and gail dines - all are/support political lesbianism)#and i wouldn't blame any contemporary lesbians if they wanted to ditch their writings completely (i'd ditch historical biphobes tbh)#sorry i don't have more to say on P - i really don't know much about her or the context of that quote #anon

in the fic, astarion's view of amity for a long time is. generally conciliatory, far too willing to go out of her way to do shit for other people, really focused on peaceful solutions. yeah, she's a good fighter, but it's all pretty standard sorcerer stuff, nothing too noteworthy

and then at some point, they split off and amity goes with lae'zel and shadowheart to check the path ahead of something, while he and wyll and gale, idk, finish packing up the camp

and then the girls come back moderately wounded bc apparently there was an ambush ahead but it's Fine it's All Good Now, Nothing To Worry About; someone cast silence so amity and shadowheart had to rely on martial prowess rather than spells and they just weren't expecting that but Everything Is Fine. sure, okay, whatever, astarion doesn't really care.

except that lae'zel is... more pleased than she has any right to be, even for a successful small battle. she remarks that amity was a 'vision of death,' and she's pleased to know that amity can hold her own even without the use of those spells she's so fond of.

astarion... brushes this off. he's sure it was nothing too interesting, and that lae'zel is just easier to impress than he'd thought.

and then later on they encounter auntie ethel and amity immediately goes at her with her bare hands, trying to bite off chunks of her face and eventually burning a hole through ethel's throat and reaching into her body to keep trying to burn up her insides

and astarion thinks back to that night in the woods where he directly insulted amity to her face multiple times and realizes how close to death he might have been

#bg3 blogging #amity tag #amity will fight politely when the situation calls for it #and for most of act one she doesn't really need to exert herself too much #but. she will rip and tear and bite and claw and snap and shatter when necessary.#and this isn't even getting into the gleeful war crimes that she's willing to commit #catch her using the fly spell to just snatch up someone on the battlefield and then drop them to their deaths #or -- because of the limitations of the fly spell -- sometimes not actually their death #sometimes it just shatters a good percentage of the bones in their body and horribly injures them #babygirl is practical alright?#and yes she did kindly refrain from biting off the finger he waved in her face back in the forest you're welcome <3
