I'm Tired

Well, the tinsel and glitter of the holidays has worn off, the tree is back in box, and we're just left with the cold, grey days of winter. The kids are back in school, and Congress (both federal and state) is back in session.

Here's a few less than fun things that have happened in the past month:

The South Carolina senate reviewed a school voucher bill that will give parents $6k to send their kids to private school. The cheapest private school in my area starts at $9k, so its really not going to do anything positive for lower-income families

Governor Foghorn Leghorn signed a bill banning trans girls from playing women's sports

Three men inexplicably threw a Molotov cocktail into an elementary school (thankfully on a weekend night, so no one was harmed)

Oh, and here's the new "fun" thing: Schools have been getting shut down due to threats of violence, like this one. And this one. And this one. One of the students making the threats has been arrested and is facing felony charges, but others are still at large. Obviously, a lot of parents, myself included are a bit unnerved, especially due to the uptick in school violence in recent years.

I'm tired, y'all. Mentally, spiritually, physically. I have some time off coming up and I am beyond ready for it. It's too early in the year for this nonsense.

Keep fighting the good fight.

President Trump is asking everyone to forward this message to a minimum of 20 people, and ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in the United States will have the message. This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party.

The TRUMP Rules: Congressional Reform Act of 2017

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And, no more perks go with them.

2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor and privledge NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies.

NO WONDER THEY’RE FIGHTING EVERYTHING HE TRIES! 🤔

🇹🇭🏳️‍🌈 But it is now confirmed!! https://x.com/saksithcna/status/1772884245981123020?s=46&t=mvTAw9jWfh8OZn8f86CleA

Thank you, anon. I've been excited for this the whole day. 🥳

I just hope they ultimately decide on the best possible version of the equal marriage act with full gender equality and equal rights when it comes to adoption and parenthood. 🙏

#ask #queer stuff #thai politics #marriage equality #what many people don't realise #(and why should they it's deliberately misleading) #that equal marriage doesn't automatically mean equal rights #e.g. in germany lesbian parents are currently not treated equal to straight parents #and though it has been recommended to use “parents” instead of mother/father in e.g. education #that's all that it is #a recommendation #i would absolutely love for thailand to do better than us 🙏 #so that we might follow suit

Bahaghari on Twitter @Bahaghari_PH:

TIGNAN: Napilitan ang ilan sa mga estudyanteng transgender ng Eulogio Amang Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST) na magpaputol ng kanilang buhok matapos harangin ng school administration ang kanilang pag-eenroll nang dahil dito

[LOOK: Several transgender students from EARIST were forced to cut their hair after the school administration prevented them from enrolling because of this.]

Nakatakdang magsagawa ng pagtutol ang mga naturang estudyante sa pangunguna ng Bahaghari-EARIST sa mga darating na araw.

[The said students are planning to stage a protest led by Bahaghari-EARIST in the coming days.]

Better Bones: CW List

Can't believe I have to make this disclaimer, but here we are

Better Bones is not a project that aims to fix canon by making the Clans wholesome and unproblematic. Though there can be fun and kindness in it and my philosophy is an optimistic one, It's not an escapist fantasy. It is a story about semi-realistic cats of human intelligence in a violent, war-obsessed theocratic dictatorship, and how they attempt to change it over the years.

Clan Culture is flawed, that is on purpose. Addressing and changing this is what the story is about.

I am very disappointed I have to state this because it should be obvious from my main post where I explicitly say that my goal is to "Address (Canon's) Problematic Elements." Not remove.

If you cannot handle themes or depictions of;

Physical and emotional abuse; Domestic, authoritative, and familial

Child abuse and inter-generational trauma

Somewhat graphic medical discussion, such as abortion, wound infection, and the use of leeches and maggots

The killing and processing of small animals into food, including tanning and butchery

Semi-realistic cat behaviors, specifically marking things with urine

Ableism; both externalized and internalized, Clan culture treats disabled cats poorly and this is something several characters struggle with

Xenophobia; to a violent degree, including stochastic terrorism, hate crime, and discrimination

^^^ read that one again. Consider that on this list twice.

Politics; Authoritarianism, fascism, and liberalism as an enemy, discussion of dog whistles and ideology

"Redemption arcs" of people who did bad things

Cosmic horror and supernatural curses

Graphic violence, including against innocent bystanders, through assault, poisoning, drowning, falling, and even being eaten alive by large fish and demigods.

Animal abuse; Human beings harming cats on purpose and Clan cats generally being terrified of all humans, even kind and loving ones

Clan cats, both villainous and culturally mislead, glorifying these things in-universe, not immediately staring at the camera and breaking character to tell you "This Is A Bad Thing!"

Then Better Bones may not be for you. I would at minimum rate this project as PG-13, but PG-16 would be a more accurate bet.

I have sympathy for you if these are not topics you can handle. My project tackles very upsetting real-world issues and not everyone is looking for something challenging; that's understandable and there's no fault in that. I try to tag appropriately but can't promise to catch everything, so please keep yourself safe.

There are other, softer projects out there run by cool people if this is not for you, and you can add #Better Bones AU to your tag filters and this project will not show up!

But, I'm not responsible for your comfort with my art. If you followed me under the assumption that BB is "Warriors without any ableism/xenophobia/violence" you were mistaken. If you don't have the maturity to act responsibly when something upsets you, or DO have the malice to read a disabled person's work with the most bad faith interpretations you can muster, LEAVE.

#It's better bones not Brand New Bones #better bones au #cw list #masterpost #I'm dead serious get the fuck out. I don't want people like that here #I'm not writing this for the people who couldn't handle steven fucking universe #This is NOT a feelgood happy story with distant lackadaisical problems #A guy gets gutted on-screen and then they sing a song about how cathartic his gruesome death was #Because they all watched him equally gruesomely kill a bunch of innocent people including kids #Bumbs was going to get MURDERED before ThunderStorm bowled in #Really can't believe I'm saying this but guys there are some fucking People out there #Hi!

PLEASE READ: The Lives Of Trans Students In Virginia Are At Stake.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has turned his focus on making education ten times worse for everyone involved. His current focus is on Transgender students in K-12 public schools. He is introducing a new policy, the main points are as follows:

-Administration is to use the pronouns on the student's record, not their chosen pronouns.

-If administration is aware of a student's identity they are to inform parents of it.

-Students may not use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity, only their AGAB.

There are more issues with it that can't be listed here, but trust me when I say this could get trans students KILLED. Parental abuse will spike as well, and depression rates among trans kids. I don't need to tell you why this is horrendous.

So please, go to the link below and fill out a comment card. It's easy, it's free, it's anonymous. Put what you feel you need to. This is not useless. They are required to look at every comment.

Please. This is serious.

If you look at the list you can see how many awful comments there are from transphobic people. Please help us. It takes 30 seconds.

“The Conservative effort to destroy public education began the day Brown v Board of Education said they must be integrated.”

“School choice” is a racist dogwhistle for re-segregation.

There should be no such thing as privatized or profitized education, and religious & private schools should not be funded with public tax dollars.

I'm sorry, but it's so weird seeing people make the most serious crazy angst for Kai and Nya supposedly being completely broke with no one providing for them or helping them or some shit, and then seeing the most tasteless homeless jokes about Morro ever...

If anything I think canon would support the idea of Morro having it way worse than Kai and Nya. The two canonically had a babysitter and it's explicitly said they watched out for one another all the time.

Meanwhile, we don't know much about Morro's situation, he wore ragged, torn clothes, he looked terrible, he was homeless, an orphan, rummaging through bins on a giant mountain for whatever reason, like???

#ninjago #raine's rambles #im sorry it just rlly annoys me #the way ppl act like kai sacrificed everything for nya as if they didnt both keep each other equally protected #i mean they r like 2-ish years apart my dude hes not raising a 1 year old at 3 dude #literally how would they have survived their younger years with no education and no one to teach them anything #like im sorry ?? kai was not providing everything for nya like that...

🇵🇸 … going to research it!!

“By analysing the patterns of violence and Israel’s policies in its onslaught on Gaza, this report concludes that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating Israel’s commission of genocide is met.

One of the key findings is that Israel's executive and military leadership and soldiers have intentionally distorted jus in bello principles, subverting their protective functions, in an attempt to legitimize genocidal violence against the Palestinian people.” … 🇵🇸
