TOA Anniversary Munday!

Celebrating TOA and the people who contribute to make our group what it is.

Repost, don't reblog. Only fill in what you feel comfortable sharing!

Happy anniversary, TOA! Here's to many more years spent together.

tagging whoever wants to do this!

Name: Pat Gem! Patrick is the full name but Pat is what I go by most often in this group.

Pronouns: he/they

Birthday (no year): September 15! Same as my beloved kitty Cassie.

Where are you from? What is your time zone?: I'm from California, PST! I was born in the Bay Area, moved to Alabama where I spent ten years as a kid, and moved back to California. That's the truncated version.

Roleplay experience: I started roleplaying on the Warrior Cats Forums in like...2010, I think? I also did private Skype rps with my best friend at the time. This lasted for 3-4 years until both fizzled out around the same time. I have some experience doing group nuzlocke rp on the nuzforums, but that also didn't last as long as I'd like. Other than some ttrpgs, I had a dry spell, and in 2019 I joined a Friends at the Table tumblr RP that would change my life. There I met Maddie and some other friends, and while the rp wasn't super active after I joined it, Maddie and I started doing rp ourselves! Finally, in late 2021, Lucius invited Maddie to TOA and I also got the invite and tagged along.

Got any pets?: Yep! Cassie and Oreo, my beloveds! Both cats, Cassie is the one with a hairdo and she's almost 4, Oreo's a year and a half and a tuxy baby.

Favorite time of year: I love when it is nice and cool but not too cold. Fall is my favorite season, personally, but really I especially enjoy not sweating to death.

Some interests and things you like: I'm a huge Pokemon fan, which I'll elaborate on later. Here though I'll say that I have a huge interest in competitive Pokemon, both singles and the official VGC circuit. I'm a big TTRPG guy! I have a lot of systems and games I like but I'll single out Fall of Magic, Jenna Moran games, the Forged in the Dark system, the Belonging Outside Belonging system, and It's Been A Long Long Time! I have an interest in speedrunning, I watch a lot of videos about it and it's fun. I love Discworld, the Terry Pratchett series. Tales of Vesperia is a game of all time. Yuri Lowell your problems disorders. Ace Attorney helped mold me as a person. Warrior cats will forever live in my heart. Bionicle also helped make me the guy I am today. 999 is a visual novel of all time. Play it and do not look it up. I actually have a huge interest in media analysis, it's something I really really enjoy talking about and researching. Splatoon my beloved. Octopath Traveler 1 and 2! I love birds and bats and lots of animals! Okay I'm running out of steam and also this is very long so I'll just stop here but there's definitely things I am forgetting.

Some funfacts & trivia about you: - I'm a library and women's and gender studies student, and hope to some day work as a librarian! For now, I'm an afterschool program associate, and I love working with the kids. - I have met Nancy Pelosi while wearing a Pokemon button up. - I've survived a tornado that started above my house. - I have finished 34 nuzlockes. - Marth was one of my first smash mains but I didn't get into Fire Emblem for years. - I have the cilantro soap gene but I like the taste of soap. - I'm physically disabled and use a cane irl! - My girlfriend used to have me blocked on Twitter. - I've made it to playoffs every single Pokemon draft league I've been in but never made it past semifinals - I was very isolated as a kid and rarely left the house. As a result, I learned my vocabulary mostly from books, as well as how I talk and emote from books and shows. I've been told I talk and act like a cartoon character, which I suppose is fair!

What non-Fire Emblem games do you play?: I play a bunch of Splatoon, probably one of the main games I play! It's very fun, and I'm a Sploosh/Custom Jr/Tentatek triple threat main who constantly hovers around S. Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 have me grabbed so hard. I am hopelessly a Pokemon guy. I play nuzlockes, casually, and competitively, and I have almost every single Pokemon and its learnset and viable competitive learnsets memorized. I am very normal about it. I also really love the Zero Escape series. I've been playing the warrior cats procgen sim ClanGen recently. I used to play a bunch of No Man's Sky, want to get back into that soon. Honestly I struggle to consistently play and finish games, and I've been trying to work on that.

Favorite Pokemon type & Pokemon: Bug; Flygon. Yes, you can combine these two to get the logical conclusion: Flygon should have been a Bug/Dragon type! It's based off the life cycle of a lacewing!!

How did you get into Fire Emblem?: I've got two stories here, one of how I almost got into Fire Emblem and how it got on my radar, and the other being how I finally got into it for real. So, in 9th grade, I had a crush on a boy who played Awakening at lunch every day. I'd talk with him and he actually offered to buy me Awakening, but I, one of the only poor kids in a rich school, was flabbergasted he would spent 40 dollars on me and felt guilty and was like are you sure? And he was like well okay if you don't want me to. I kind of wish I'd taken him up on the offer because he sucked as a person and his family was super rich but oh well. I then played the hell out of the demo. Flash forward to 2019. I'm scrolling twitter and see a friend of mine is streaming Fire Emblem Three Houses. I've seen it before, and it seems pretty fun. A lot of my friends like Fire Emblem. I watch the stream and fall in love with the characters and style of the game, and I impulse buy Three Houses. I then tell Maddie and sell them on Three Houses. Thus, it begun...

What Fire Emblem games have you played?: This is a fun and complicated question for me to answer because if you count me backseating Maddie, it's some of fe4, most of fe7, fe8, fe9, fe10, over half of fe13, some fe14, fe15, and fe16. If it's just me, that shrinks down to some fe7 and fe8, some fe9, over half of fe13, some fe15, and some fe16. I was an active participant in watching the games so it feels like a smidgen of playing them but not quite?

First Fire Emblem game: Either the Awakening demo or Three Houses.

Favorite Fire Emblem game: Shadows of Valentia, Sacred Stones, and the Tellius duology. Hard to specify a single favorite, especially depending on what we are defining favorite as.

Any Fire Emblem crushes? 😳 : Where do I begin. I mean Lukas is like, perhaps one of my strongest ones. Though I'm also smitten with Forsyth and attracted to Python despite him being terrible boyfriend material. Recently I have been making eyes at Legault in Blazing Blade, and also playing Fates for the first time had me really surprised at how much Setsuna charmed me. Uhhh lemme think also. Christ Kent your problems disorders bewitch me. Claude you are my everything I will do anything for you. Shamir also if we are talking 3h, what a gal. Ranulf my beloved, he's got things together and he's playful and teasing and just has a great personality. Also Titania...pretty and strong and cool and just a fantastic character who I would not object to kissing on the mouth. I think i might stop here because if I keep going I am going to just take you on a tour of my numerous Fire Emblem crush tastes.

If you’ve played the following games, who was your first S support? Who would you S support nowadays? - Awakening: Panne; I'd also S support Libra or Say'ri. I need to mention that my first awakening playthrough was in 2020 though so if I'd gotten it in 2013 like I almost did I'd probably have gotten married to like...Libra if I waited that long, Chrom if I messed up and got automarried, or like. Stahl or something bc he's really nice and a knight. - Fates: I have not S supported anyone in Fates yet but Setsuna and Silas I am Looking. - Three Houses: I actually never have S supported anyone in Three Houses, as I never actually finished my personal playthrough! However, my big choices are Shamir and Claude, though w the latter I just pretend that's me bc I don't do teacher/student. - Engage: Not enough experience to say who I might S support. Will get back to you.

Favorite Fire Emblem class: Do laguz/taguel/manakete count. I'm also weak for archers I shan't lie.

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class?: Oh I know I'd be one of those frail little mages who has explosive firepower and waning physical ability. Honestly being that but on a wyvern would be fun. My good friend my mobility wyvern.

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation?: Golden Deer 4ever baybee not even close.

If you were an Engage character, which Emblem would you Engage with?: I'll get back to this, I'm not sure if I have the info I need to make an informed choice. My first thought is that I would love to have Ike chilling with me though, Ike my good friend Ike.

How did you find TOA?: Lucius invited Maddie, and Maddie invited me! I was roleplaying Forsyth with Maddie's Python 1on1 at the time and the idea of a group RP was very appealing to me, despite me being swamped with work and school and health issues at the time. I'm so glad I made the leap!

Current TOA muses: Forsyth and Leanne!

Who was your first TOA muse? If you don’t have them anymore, could you see yourself picking them up again?: Forsyth! I don't see myself dropping him unless his narrative here is done, really.

Have you had any other TOA muses?: Oh Ranulf...I had a very fun time with him, but I just was not in the state to handle three muses and having two muses has been much more manageable, so he's probably not coming back for a while.

Do you think you have a type of character you gravitate towards?: I tend to write very earnest characters, especially in a group RP setting. I've pushed my comfort zone before, but characters who express themselves very openly and intensely are my bread and butter. Characters who wear their hearts on their sleeves, for better or worse.

What do you believe you enjoy writing the most?: Hard to say, but honestly I really enjoy writing relationships, and the ways in which they shift and change over time. I really like character-focused writing the most, emotions and thoughts and such, and exploring the connections between characters! This feels like a silly answer, but it's what I'm feeling!

Favorite TOA-related memory: Oh man this is a hard one. Hard to choose so I'll just pick one that came to mind which is Leanne and Vaida's bizarre adventure in Queen's Compass. What a good event that was, blows a kiss to the sky for Zyra. I'm also a huge fan of everything involving Forsyth's Jugdral meddling and the narrative impact of his deaths in KKE. There are so many funny little experiences and memories that stick with me forever, really.

How do you pronounce TOA? 🤔: Tee-oh-ay! Pronouncing it as a word is the same as Toa from Bionicle and to keep them distinct in my mind I sound it out.

Got any delusions that didn’t see the light of day that you’d like to share? 😉: The world if I could handle three muses...Legault scratching at my door. Ranulf also scratching at my door. Blows a kiss to the guys I would enjoy playing but don't have the time and energy for.

We Need to Reform the American Political Fabric: A Case Study of AIPAC’s Influence on Congress

Image Courtesy of Latuff Cartoons

Lobbying plays a significant role in how laws and policies are created — however, many Americans may not be familiar with the extent to which it is so powerful. The practice of lobbying could be utilized for beneficial purposes, such as making healthcare more accessible, but it can also be employed harmfully, as seen when companies lobby to obstruct legislation enabling cheaper drugs. Lobbying occurs when people or organizations attempt to convince lawmakers to make decisions that align with their ideologies, interests, and beliefs. Oftentimes, this practice of lobbying is fueled by money, through which organizations finance politicians, effectively acting as puppets for special interests. Campaign finance reform is necessary to tackle the unequal influence of money in lobbying, which gives wealthy interests more power over policymaking than regular citizens. Through the implementation of measures such as limiting political donations and increasing transparency, we can create a fairer political system that represents the interests of all citizens.

Why is the dominance of wealth and corporate interest so ingrained in the fabric of America’s political infrastructure? The 2010 Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. FEC can be cited as one of the contributors to this very phenomenon. The ruling essentially equated corporate spending with free speech, which set a precedent that would drastically alter the shape of American politics to this day. According to the American organization Campaign Legal Center assessing the Supreme Court ruling, “One way this has occurred is through [the] creation of super PACs, which can accept unlimited contributions from nearly any non-foreign source and spend unlimited amounts to influence the outcome of federal elections.” The unchecked influence of money has not only perpetuated inequality but also enabled politicians to not be accountable to their constituents. Furthermore, this practice of lobbying, rooted in power and wealth, has weakened the integrity of our electoral system because it allows politicians to feel detached from the needs of their constituents.

American politicians across both parties are equally complicit in facilitating the dominance of wealth and corporate interests in the political landscape. For instance, take Nancy Pelosi, the 52nd Speaker of the House of Representatives, infamous for her role in soliciting donations from corporate PACs. Although Speaker Pelosi herself has advocated for campaign financing reform and criticized the influence of money in politics, she has done exactly that. In 2022, Pelosi hosted the largest individual fundraiser in DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) history, amassing over $4.4 million in donations. Speaker Pelosi, in addition to many elected American politicians, are beneficiaries of the powerful lobbying group known as AIPAC. The Washington D.C. based group known as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee advocates on behalf of the interests of Israel. According to a data report from Open Secrets, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing data on campaign financing revealed insights into political donations. The report revealed the top pro-Israel beneficiaries among politicians from 1990 to 2024. President Biden was the recipient of more than $5,000,000, Mitch McConnell's contributions totaled $1,953,610, and Marco Rubio received support exceeding $1,000,000.

The report shares insight into how foreign lobbying groups such as AIPAC pose a significant challenge to the sovereignty and stability of the American political system. Moreover, the leveraging of wealth and influence by these groups seeks to shape domestic policies and decisions in a manner that primarily serves the interests of their country at the expense of American sovereignty. This intrusion into the American political landscape raises concerns about whose interests are being prioritized and whose voices are being heard in the policymaking process. Additionally, it undermines the fundamental principles of democratic governance, where decisions should be made by elected officials accountable to their constituents rather than influenced by foreign entities. However, it does not stop there. As of 2022, AIPAC has reportedly begun targeting American politicians critical of the Israeli government, which is incredibly concerning for America’s democracy.

According to reporter Betsy Reed, who wrote a piece titled “Pro-Israel groups target US lawmakers critical of Israel’s war ahead of primaries” late last year, reveals the severity of this situation. As Reed states, “During the last 10 days, groups that support Israel have launched ads in at least seven districts targeting those who have been particularly vocal in calling attention to the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, opposing Israeli military aid or criticizing Israel’s government.” Furthermore, when looking at the actions of pro-Israeli groups such as AIPAC targeting American politicians, it is imperative to consider the ethical implications of their actions. Ethically, what does it say about the United States when a powerful foreign interest group can exert such influence over elected officials? Additionally, this insight emphasizes the urgency of safeguarding against undue foreign influence on democratic processes. The piece also goes on to state, “Aipac’s Super Pac, United Democracy Project, has spent nearly $90,000 on radio and television ads attacking Massie in his district in recent weeks.” Ultimately, these findings underscore the vital importance of limiting the power and influence of foreign lobbying groups, which would require a radical change within domestic policymaking. However, it would also present an incredible challenge to do so, considering the number of influential politicians who benefit from AIPAC’s money.

Along with that, in the wake of the current humanitarian crisis and military intensification in Gaza, many Americans are expressing deep concern about their elected official's loyalty to AIPAC and Israel. According to a recent Axios report revealing US citizens' attitudes toward Israel, “Among U.S. adults polled in January, 50% said they believed that Israel's actions in Gaza had "gone too far," compared to 40% who said the same in November, the poll found. The report also revealed that Biden’s handling of the current political crisis has lowered his approval ratings. Moreover, the subject of Gaza reveals the shift in American public opinion regarding Palestine’s plight. However, the shift in the public is not reflected in its elected officials, many of whom continue to stand in solidarity with Israel despite the overwhelming evidence of injustices in Gaza. Despite the numerous protests involving hundreds of Americans across the country, the millions of petition signatures, and various civil efforts, there has been a minimal impact on the legislature. As AIPAC continues to fund politicians, Israel will continue to receive billions of dollars in military aid used to commit humanitarian acts on Palestinian civilians.

Moreover, the influence of lobbying extends the halls of Congress—shaping not only legislation but foreign policy decisions. In the case of AIPAC, its impact on American foreign policy is particularly evident. Over the decades, AIPAC has successfully advocated for significant levels of military aid to Israel. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, Israel is the leading recipient of foreign and military aid. AIPAC’s influence has not only exacerbated the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but raised questions about the extent to which foreign policy decisions are driven by domestic lobbying interests. It is also paradoxical that the United States provides substantial funding for Israel’s healthcare system that ensures universal access while lacking comparable provisions domestically. Why are American tax dollars being utilized to support healthcare in another country while domestic healthcare remains inadequately funded? Essentially, addressing the influence of groups like AIPAC requires not only reforms of stricter regulations but also a confrontation of America’s political structure.

Amidst the ongoing issues with lobbying and foreign influence through Israel in American politics, it is crucial to explore and think about reforming the American political structure. One solution could be to enforce stricter regulations on campaign finance and lobbying activities to curb the undue influence of special interest groups such as AIPAC. The imposition of tighter restrictions on political donations and improving transparency requirements allows politicians to foster public confidence. In order to provide a more fair playing field and reduce the impact of powerful lobbyists and funders, public funding of elections is a more promising solution. Political analyst Lee Drutman’s essay entitled “A Better Way to Fix Lobbying” proposes JAMES, a system aiming to enhance transparency and public engagement in the legislative process. The system essentially serves as a platform for lobbyists, constituents, and policymakers to access comprehensive information, including detailed information and data. Alongside stricter regulations of lobbying groups such as AIPAC, the enhancement of transparency will encourage greater political engagement and participation. Ultimately, it is on behalf of the American people to demand an improved political system not tainted by lobbyists to fulfill the interests of its citizens.

Sunday Funnies, If You're Not Offended...

Welcome back to this week’s edition of the Sunday Funnies, where today, millions of people around the world will be reenacting the decline of the Roman Empire’s version of ‘Bread and Circuses’ in what we call watching the Super Bowl. As a result, most people will forget certain events that happened last week that we purposefully want to bring to your attention. Starting with…Last Sunday’s Grammy Awards featuring Satanic worship in all of its ungodly glory. Ironically (or NOT) Putin called the US out on this several years ago. But he’s the one who’s being demonized (pun intended) as a propagandist by the WEST. But not to be outdone by the Satanists, CNN hailed our resident Brandon’s State of the Union (SOTU) address as one of the greatest in recent history. LMAO! But the Liberals were shocked at how the disrespectful Republicans spoke out and interrupted the Stink Meister’s address. And they very conveniently forgot how Nancy Pelosi gave new meaning to the term disrespectful. Proving that if it weren’t for double standards, they wouldn’t have ANY standards at all. And while it was mostly erratic and off the wall, the SOTU subtly confirmed what we’ve been saying that the O’Biden administration is forcing WW3 with Russia. In summary here’s how the good citizens of America responded to the SOTU address. Needless to say, that the bizarro world we’re living in is becoming more bizarro every day. But that’s precisely why we publish the Sunday Funnies. You see, we use our funnies/memes/cartoons in an effort to counter the madness and frustration that accompanies Turbulent Times. Because when it’s all said and done, we all need to laugh every now and then. Why? Laughter is good for your soul. And it’s healthy to be a bit silly…especially in the face of fear mongering, medical tyranny, and especially the threat of WWIII. It’s all the more reason why we won’t apologize…especially if our Funnies just happen to hurt some Progressive/Socialist/Communist/Globalist’s feeeellwwings. And please remember: The Sunday Funnies are not just about our nations bizarre state of politics/finance/beliefs. It’s about awareness of what’s happening in the world that we choose to poke fun at. And, if our funnies/memes/cartoons/etc. provide you with a laugh or two – and/or open your eyes to some stark realities – then we consider that a victory. So, when things tend to get a bit overwhelming, we believe it’s best to remember that Humor is Waaaayyyyy better than Hatred…which is contrary to what the world wants you to believe. And we hope you see the Sunday Funnies as a refreshing oasis in the middle of a parched, dry, and increasingly dark world that we’re living in. As always, we remind you: As difficult as things might appear, Evil Always Overplays its Hand…And Righteousness Prevails. Thanks again for joining us on this crazy journey we’re on and remember America Was Built by the Brave, Not by the Fearful… *********************************** Many Are Still Wondering Why Jill Biden Went Out of Her Way to Plant a Major Kiss On the Lips of Kamala Harris’ Husband, Doug Emhoff At the SOTU. *********************************** And As the World Watched the KISS… ************************************ Later That Night… *********************************** The Viewership Numbers Are in for Brandon’s SOTU Address ************************************** And While Hundreds of Liberals Clapped As If What Brandon Said Was a Good Idea… ************************************ How to Get Double the Effect Out of Another Commercialized Holiday… ******************************* That Awkward Moment At a Social Gathering… *************************************** A Friendly Reminder to Al Gore and All the Climate Change Zealots Out There… ************************************* What You Think About When Your Doctor Says… ************************************* In Case You Missed it… ******************************** In Addition to Destroying Food Plants in America… *********************************** And While We’re On the Subject of Chickens… ************************************ Notice the Date (2004) and Notice it Says “Kenyan Born” ************************************ What Would the “Sunday Funnies” Be Without a Meme About Guns? ************************************ And What Would a “Sunday Funnies” be Without a Reparations Meme?

Don’t be fools; be wise: make the most of every opportunity you have for doing good. ~ Ephesians 5:11-16 ~ (The Living Bible translation) ******************************* One Positive Result from Brandon’s SOTU ********************************* And What Would the “Sunday Funnies” be Without a Basic Science Meme? ******************************** Last But Certainly Not Least, What Would the “Sunday Funnies” be Without a Conspiracy Theory/Covid Meme? ********************************* ********************************* That’s all for this week’s edition of the Sunday Funnies. And throughout the Political Chaos of 2023, you can expect us to poke fun at the headline grabbers every weekend, as usual. However, if you want to see more risqué and/or R-Rated memes you can find them (HERE). As always, we hope you enjoy our memes/cartoons/rants etc. and that they bring a smile to your face. We definitely love to hear your comments so keep ‘em coming. And although the world seems pretty dark these days, we encourage you to see why you have a lot to hope for in 2023 and beyond (HERE). In the meantime, be sure to share these funnies with friends and family members. Caution: They may get offended. But remind them…It’s important to laugh together and laugh often. And be sure to tell them… We’re Not Just About Finance…but we use finance to give you hope. See You Next Sunday… Invest with confidence.
