since we all appear to be talking about izzy 'calling the police' on stede id like to offer my silly little two cents:
its not like the navy wasn't actively looking for him anyway??????
at most, izzys actions sped up badminton catching up with stede, but its made very clear that badminton wanted Stede dead well before this, and was willing to use whatever he could to find him- whos to say jackie wouldnt have cut a deal on her own? that any other pirate thats seen them being unsubtle in a port wouldn't take the opportunity to make a quick buck over a guy who is Nobody and holds no influence that could lead to any consequences for them?
in reality izzy is probably the only person who would receive negative repercussions to selling out stede, given his personal connection with ed- any other pirate would probably have gotten away unscathed, anonymous. they likely wouldnt have even been present like izzy was. izzy had personal stakes, anyone else would have taken the money and ran
the way i see it, with or without izzy the events of episode 10 probably would have happened in some degree, izzy just expedited the timeline

i also dont fuck with harry potter for transphobia reasons but i miss lupin and sirius every day. those old men changed my brain chemistry at 9 years old..... who on earth was doing it like them!! the insanity of their first on-page interaction the charged atmosphere the weird blurring of their identities post-sirius's death...... good lord
I’ll never forget the first time I experienced those little kids going through every stage of terror and grief while those two 30 something year old men who definitely felt 50 had the weight of 13+ years of misunderstanding and longing crash down on their heads. Truly none of that needed to be so charged. I refuse to “hand it to her” but that dynamic really did rewrite my genetic code

abc coverage of mardi gras trying desperately to avoid any acknowledgment of the solidarity with Palestinian people expressed by multiple groups such as extinction rebellion & pride in protest was. embarrassing.

Wait, are people like... under the impression that Oppenheimer is somehow... a glorification of nuclear warfare? About the man who was so horrified by his involvement in the Manhattan Project and its results that he spent his life afterward lobbying against nuclear weapons development, the nuclear arms race and competition with the Soviets, and the development of the hydrogen bomb in particular, that he got blacklisted as a communist during the McCarthy years and was essentially erased from the scientific community because of it?
That Robert Oppenheimer?

you cannot keep telling the people around you "guys, cmon, sometimes you just... sometimes you just gotta let the genocide slide, okay, things will stay slightly more okay Here if we co-sign ethnic cleansing over There, we gotta do it, its just common sense, things are just, soooo precipitous in Our country right now, aren't you scared?" and be surprised when increasing parts of the population start going "ah. okay. so you admit, it really is Death no matter what, huh, just weather or not it comes for me specifically, or rather, when" and start stuffing a gas soaked rag into a bottle without breaking eye contact
because some people, when they see a trolley problem where the body stack for BOTH tracks are both SO MASSIVE the difference is measured only in its sentimental relativity to the individual given access to the rail lever, ask
"who the fuck is still setting these up",
and bolt across the tracks to pry the kill switch off that fucker, even if it gets their ass run over for nothing, or shot when they get too close all while someone cries out Nooooo you should have just pulled the leeeveerrrr to save MY people at least, nooo the others would have been slightly more acceptable collateral bc they aren't My People nooooo (and that someone may well have pulled the trigger themself, or at least, called the cops to complain about All This Ruckus)
these "who set up the trolley problem" people will always exist and the worse shit gets, the more they are going to resent Blue No Matter Who types who can never put in more effort towards progress than fingerwagging trying to tell them No Boy! Down! Sit, sit! No! Bad Dog! Very Bad Dog! No Biting!
Unfortunately for myself, and perhaps others, i am a bitch who will bite the hand that feeds me if i see it plainly beating another dog

How the fuck is it that we live in a time when information gets spread SO EASILY SO many people can talk to each other around the world, to share news, facts, opinions, yet SOMEHOW this TERRIFYING FUCKING GENOCIDE is just going to what? Slip under the radar? Continue without any sort of hiccup? THIS IS A FUCKING GENOCIDE. PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DYING. If you're on the internet AT ALL you should know this is not fucking about the hostages or the Hamas or whatever fucking diluted bullshit you want to believe, this is about a government DESTROYING, ERADICATING a group of people, INNOCENT PEOPLE, PREGNANT PEOPLE, BABIES, CHILDREN, MOTHERS, FATHERS, GRANDPARENTS, SIBLINGS, FRIENDS, WIVES, HUSBANDS, PEOPLE WHO ARE SO SO LOVED. GONE. We are aiding in a fucking genocide. I'm so fucking sick, I feel like I'm losing my fucking grip on reality because how could we ever fucking get to this point.

I know the Musk "trillion people means more Mozarts" thing is stupid as fuck but I just saw a prominent blogger reply to it by saying anyone has the ability to be a Mozart and I'm sorry but "talent doesn't exist" discourse has officially gone too far, and I say that as someone who hates the word "talent" and has replaced it almost entirely with the word "skill" in my vocabulary.
Not everyone is a prodigy. Yes, prodigies get lost because they lack opportunity, but that still doesn't mean everyone is a prodigy. If everyone WAS then everyone with enough wealth and opportunity WOULD be and like. I'm sorry, have you SEEN what a fucking moron Elon Musk actually is?
