sometimes a healthy relationship isn't 50/50 because it can't be, and that's okay.

disabled people who cannot take on an equal portion of the work in a relationship deserve to be loved too, if that's what they want. and as long as their partner is getting the support they need, and is happy to take on that work, then what's the issue? it's nobodys business but your own the way that works in your relationship.

if you or your partner are disabled, and you can't split the work in the relationship 50/50, that's okay. you're not abusive, or a baby, or unloveable because of that. I promise

#inspired by: yet another post saying with absolutely no nuance that if ur partner doesn't do 50% of the work in the relationship u should #leave them. which fucks me off supremely #my husband has hemiplegia among other things #and literally CANNOT do about 85% of the stuff that needs to get done #and that's okay! because I am happy to take that on! #equality in relationships doesn't have to mean splitting things 50/50 #it can mean having an honest conversation about your needs and abilities and making it work #disabled people deserve love if they want it #disability #actually disabled

Obviously, the Alabama Supreme Court actually putting fetal personhood into law is another victory for creeping Christian Authoritarianism and yet another attack on health care, womens' rights, and bodily autonomy....but watching the Republicans flip their shit now that IVF clinics are in danger of closing is hilarious in a "the clown car is on fire" kind of way.

Because of course this was going to happen. Fetal personhood and anti-surrogacy (especially in the context of same-sex parents) has been bouncing around in conservative religious and legal circles (but what's the difference?) for decades, with those pesky liberals warning about it for just as long. Anyone with an inkling of awareness of the issue could have seen it coming.

So the fact that they were caught so off guard is myopic enough. And they're panicking for a very good reason, because yanno who generally goes to IVF clinics?

The people who can afford it.

Certainly the abortion bans in various states were bad, but if you had a lot of disposable income you could just...go to another state. Extremely inconvenient, yes, but not insurmountable. But this?

Oh my god, now the far-right pro-life politics that you've been cultivating for going on fifty years is now in a position to affect people with money? People that matter? Now you have to try and contend with the very extremist judges you installed that don't have to worry about getting elected and whose decisions are now putting you on the political chopping block?

Join us the in misery you're created for everyone else, assholes.

the girlbossification of ruth bader ginsburg has to be one of the most just plain annoying aspects of white liberal feminism. like it's not as actively harmful as a lot of other shit obviously. but it is soooooo annoying. if I never see another notorious rbg tote bag as long as I live it will be too soon

#her opinions and amicus' in many cases were iconic! not denying that certainly. she is absolutely AMONG the better justices in us history #HOWEVER her record on policing/the carceral system is very bad! genuinely bad! #and she just would not hold the conservative justices accountable. her and kagan are way too placating #and then she refused to retire in 2009 when there was a sitting democratic president and a fucking DEMOCRATIC SUPER MAJORITY #saying basically that no one else could do the job as well as her which is insane because sotomayor and KBJ literally are better :/ #its also unbelievably conceited and just incredibly fucking selfish to knowingly doom the country because you think youre hot shit #started ranting abt this at work bc literally any talk even adjacent to the supreme court will set me off abt all of us court history #and my coworker was like 'well i dont think its very fair that she had to have that much riding on her decision to retire' #it literally is fair because that is the fucking job that she signed up for. this has literally always been how it fucking works #its a lifetime appointment. you either die unexpectedly or retire strategically #she accepted a position in which the entire country would depend on her but its not fair for the entire country to depend on her??? #bullshit #im not fucking buying it. she did this knowing roe would likely be struck down as a result #she should absolutely be held accountable for that lmfao. you can know that she had a hand in a lot of great decisions for this country #while also knowing that she did a fucked up and extremely selfish thing

Blood Drops on Roses: Bargaining: The Third Stage of Grief (20/80)

“Let’s shake on it.” Twilight stuck his hand out, then drew back, saying, “Just… nothing too crazy, alright?”

‘You owe me, you owe me.’ Wild raised a perfunctory eyebrow as Twilight squirmed. ‘Anything else isn't a part of the deal.’

“No, I guess it isn’t.” Twilight said, defeated, as he stuck his hand out once more. He looked queasy as they clasped hands. He paused a step. “And Wild?”

‘Yeah?’

“Watch the spice. They ain’t from here.”

‘Spoil sport.’

Black radio host and comedian Charlamagne Tha God blasted DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs and initiatives as "garbage" on The Daily Show, a political satire television program.

DEI practices in corporate America grew in popularity, with companies promoting the value of creating a welcoming atmosphere where people from diverse backgrounds can excel. Now, however, DEI programs have become a frequent target of right-wing activists in recent years, and Republican lawmakers are backing dozens of bills targeting DEI initiatives at universities and other public institutions.

Progressives tend to back DEI programs as a way to combat institutionalized racism that they say is ever-present in society. Conservatives, on the other hand, have fought against such initiatives as they worry that DEI aims to push a narrative against some classes of people (whether that be based on race, gender, socioeconomic status, etc.) and create an unfair advantage for others.

During an appearance on The Daily Show on Wednesday night, Charlamagne showed a few ads from companies like Microsoft, General Mills and Vaseline promoting their DEI initiatives, and then showed clips of media personalities bashing such programs, saying things like "DEI is just a rebranded version of hating white people."

"These right-wingers are crazy. Right? Jesus," Charlamagne said. "But here's the part where you all stop applauding everything I say. The truth about DEI is that although it's well-intentioned, it's mostly garbage, okay."

Charlamagne then joked: "It's kinda like the black Little Mermaid—Just because racists hate it, doesn't mean it's good. And you know, I'm right, because every one of you has sat through one of those diversity training sessions and thought this is some bulls***.

"And it's not just you. Over 900 studies have shown that DEI programs don't make the workplace better for minorities. In fact, it can actually make things worse because of the backlash effect."

Newsweek could not independently confirm which studies Charlamagne referred to.

However, a paper published by Frank Dobbin and Alexandra Kalev in Anthropology Now, a peer-reviewed journal, in 2018 wrote, "Hundreds of studies dating back to the 1930s suggest that antibias training does not reduce bias, alter behavior or change the workplace."

The radio host pointed out that even with DEI programs, Black people still lack leadership positions in corporate America.

"The biggest failure of DEI is that the number of black people in power at big companies is basically the same as it was five years ago. In fact, maybe the only thing that DEI has accomplished is giving racist white people cover to be openly racist," he said.

Charlamagne said that DEI programs don't work because it's "just corporate PR" for companies who "want to cover their ass."

"We don't need corporate DEI. Yes, we want diversity and equity and inclusion. But we don't want it from Vaseline," the comedian joked.

He continued: "Real DEI is only going to come from black leadership. I don't know how to do it because I'm not a black leader, but I do know how to tell if it's working—Just keep an eye on right-wing media, the more they're freaking out, the more progress we're making."

#nunyas news #to be fair right wing media doesn't give a shit #so long as you aren't being racist #which dei programs are #got what should be a historic appointment to the supreme court #that will have a asterisk next to it #because the guy that put her there announced that there were standards he was going to judge by #her making the cut without much fuss tells me #she would have made it just fine #but now people will forever say she was a diversity hire #welcome to what dei does for the black community

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't FE15 state that although god's control is removed, there's still evil in mankind's heart that must be vanquished or something along those lines? It kinda makes the whole "humanity f*ck yeah" shtick feel hypocritical doesn't it?

Yep,

Because FE15 couldn't nuke FE2 from its DNA, by virtue of being a remake.

So we have two, contradictory messages in this game : Duma BaD and Gods BaD and must go because BaD and they "make humans do BaD things"...

and you have the "gods might be bad, but humans are still BaD without their influence" message at the end - when the entire game (and the timeline and supplementary materials!!) has been pushing the first message.

So...

In a sea of "Gods BaD" waters coming from the remake, you still have the lone "evil remains in the hearts of men" raft that is, somehow, pushed to the forefront in Part 6 where both Celica AND Alm call Thabes the result of human folly, and the player knowing that Grima - who was originally the RED CAPSLOCK eldritch monstruosity before FEH retcon'd them in a tits'n'ass character to uwu about by stealing Anankos' backstory - was "man-made".

And yet, given how the "last word" about FE15 - as in last material revealed - was the timeline in the Memorial Book, we close FE15's book by "and Duma was BaD".

I mean, look at all those mentions of Rudy being so brave and strong and uwusome -> Duma's degenaration is directly tied to how awesome Rudy needs to be in this calendar.

Rudy is so brave to stand in front of a degenerating Duma? -> Duma was insane!

Rudy is so thoughtful and sticks to his promise to Duma by sealing Mila -> akshually Duma wasn't completely insane because he told him to seal Mila and not to kill her even if I said the inverse 3 lines earlier...

#replies #anon #I might make posts like this #but I really liked FE15 bar its plot! #which is a weird thing to say #I guess Rudy was retconned both because Gods BaD and because Walmart from FE13 exists and can be fucked? #or it was the start of 'imperialism maybe not bad if you have a reason uwu' #and this reason would be gods bad religion bad if kusakihara wanted to write and direct his game closer to the Squenix side of JRPGS #and we end up with supreme leader who wants to get rid of crusts that's why she invades the continent #even if in this specific setting crusts is dragon blood aka dragons #with a good dose of church bad bad bad hammered #at this point the 'evil still exists in the heart of men' disappeared from the script and the player only sees it in sidequests #or things not relevant to the main plot #which culminate in Dee and Caellach's discussion in Zahrofl #'maybe killing those people who helped and supported us bad because they might be angry at u fwend' #and no “they helped us when we needed it unlike you why do you want to kill them they're my allies”

God I hate the Legion so much

Like wdym you think the faction that doesn't think women are people is the BEST choice for the Mojave. How can you look me in the eye and tell me that the faction that ASSAULTS people have the best morals.

I don't like the NCR. But taxes will NEVER be worse than human slavery.

I hate the BOS/Enclave but at LEAST they treat women like human beings instead of PROPERTY

I genuinely don't get the appeal. They're not even a fun faction for an evil playthrough. They just make me feel disgusted. I feel vile listening to them try to justify themselves

I could go on and on.

#fallout rant #fallout new vegas #caesars legion #ncr #bos #fallout enclave #don't mind me I'm venting #i mean im literally a trans gay man so i guess im seeing it through the eyes of someone the legion would LITERALLY hate crime #still i don't think any other faction comes CLOSE to how disgusted the Legion makes me feel #which is saying something because the BOS and Enclave are my other completely despised factions #but i think I'd rather deal with racist and racist supreme than slavery dehumanization #im reading into the lore too much but thats the curse of a hyperfixation

one thing about kylo is that he'll argue and throw hands. you're a jedi? he's criticising the code. sith? he's criticising the code. lovecraftian space horror? lightsaber is ignited. truly, a menace to the cosmos.

#tbd. #idk who hates him more.. the jedi or the sith lmao. #when i say he does not ascribe by any force ideology i do mean it. he views the force as something to wield freely in his own benefit #but unbound by any doctrine. #what i love specifically in arc three (post tlj) is the elevation of him as an almost mythical figure. an image of a god which is crafted o #him in the far regions. the illusive figure of the supreme figure that haunts the galaxy. #and it's entirely void of affiliation to either side of the force. he really forges something new for himself; #gradually succumbing to his own dark desires. #he's just my meow meow 🥰 (a war criminal with mystical space powers)

Hey, you guys want a barely-filtered view into my psyche?

About a month ago I wrote up a ... Rather long diatribe about two of my main ocs, and what their whole deal is.

If a detailed look into a creator's view on characterisation, theming, coding and the intersection of gender, sexuality and autism sounds interesting to you: here you go!

Chrome and Tabitha have been rattling around my brain since 2015 and have as such been slowcooked throughout, so it's also somewhat of a retrospective on my end too.

The general topics (along with a straight-up overview of their in-universe backstories) are how their differing sexualities, thoughts on masculinity, and Mental Situations interact to form their dynamic and relationship, with follow-ups about their real-life origins, how those inform them, and how much I'm clearly projecting.

Here's a Link, feel free to skip around to the parts that interest you. Broad content warnings for (light) discussions of disordered eating, childhood neglect, emotionally abusive relationships, all in passing. Sex (in general) is discussed in slightly more detail.

#when i say autism btw i dont mean in the jokey tumblr way i mean tabitha is supremely autistic. which was originally on accident #but guess who has figured something out about themselves since 2015 lmaoooooooo #but yeah i hope you have fun? i enjoyed writing it at least. its super long though i dont expect anyone to read it end to end #please feel free to send asks about it though? or about any ocs. there are links in there to a smaller earlier essay about my other ocs so #thumbs up! thanks lads #lucabytetalks #chromium mono #tabitha boss #mymk

Seeing a lot of anti-monarchist Discworld posts today for obvious reasons but it remains interesting to me that while Pratchett is very vocally anti-kings in the Watch books, his handling of Vetinari carries a bit of "dictators are fine if they're good at it" that suggests he did not fully remove the human attraction toward autocracy from himself.

#there's the bit where Vimes says kings are worse than patricians bc at least you don't have to pretend #that patricians are better because of their blood #which IS a fair point #but Discworld is also pretty enthusiastic about supreme ruler Vetinari #discworld

ohh i love when a random gilmore girls rerun comes on and i'm reminded how annoying dean gilmore girls is skdfjkdg always throwing a tantrum over rory being anywhere near another guy and jumping to conclusions and yelling at her in public and embarrassing her. but no he's the 'nice guy, boy next door, first love'

#j*red's very good at playing fake nice. fake sympathetic #not saying sam isn't genuinely nice or sympathetic at times but we've discussed before just how crunchy it is that sam often is Performing #esp on cases. and that's not a bad thing !! he's doing what he needs to do to help the victim. but he just doesn't always Feel it #and that's a feature for me. it's very interesting and adds a delicious depth and dynamic to sam #which of course some ppl are quick to erase from him or think it's bad to say he's performing sympathy / empathy #but i don't think he's bad for these things. i DO think it was unintentional and a result of j*red's particular brand of acting #and in dean gilmore girl's case it made him supremely unlikable to me #but in sam's case it adds an interesting dynamic #anyways i am Not a deangirl in the gilmore girls universe ajfksfk #vic.txt

[ratgirlcopia]

the thing about copia transitioning is that essential shift from failguy to successwoman.

#copiaposting #i'm at the point where i can't really imagine a third copia era that isn't like. a supremely cunty villain woman. #still goofy as hell. but slightly more successful in terms of villainy and more confident on and off stage. #impera-era feels like a step toward Something and my brain decided that something is. transition. #which again. is not impossible. looking at the things tobias has done and said i do not think it's an immediate write-off. #i'm not saying it's LIKELY but there's at least a non-zero chance i have something here. #looking at the evolution of copia's aesthetic there's like. at bare minimum an objective increase in fem/gnc components. #and a decrease in traditionally masc components. #and idk i see that pattern continuing if there's a third copia era. #there would be a new mask regardless. ffs incoming methinks.

There’s a certain genre of fan made merch where the person making it is clearly drawing the characters for the first time in their lives and are perhaps overly confident in their abilities. For example

This costs $700

#pinky and the brain #although maybe fan merch isn't exactly right #it's more like...hello fellow 90's kids #remember cartoon from the 90's?? #what if you could signal to people that you knew cartoon from the 90's! #I'm not trying to say they're a bad artist fwiw #they're just really tough characters to get a hang of #I also struggle with them #which is why I do not sell my art of them for $700 #I could get an animation cell for that price #but I guess a cell wouldn't have the supreme logo on it :')
