[phantomrose96]

I want all animals to become sapient enough to produce art specifically because I want to see what sort of sex homunculus caricature each species would create if given the ability to draw

[phantomrose96]

Like we've already got the anime waifu with the needle-waist and watermelon-bazonkas and borzoi-legs and bug-eyes. Now show me a fucked-up stupid beetle as drawn by a horny beetle. I want to see what a cartoonishly sexy lion looks like according to lions. I want to see the most ridiculous drawing of a peahen that would have the peacocks squaring up by the fountain.

[phantomrose96]

We give this power to ostriches and they just start drawing people

[012phoenix]

I just finished a drama performance, was in the city for three days to watch 50 (!) Students' performances of Shakespeare scenes, watched a ballet and a verbatim theater show about the question whether one should become a truck driver aaand I'm in the ensemble for a school production of Hadestown (a musical) and we're performing in 3 weeks (!) and I found out today that we're starting to prepare for a performance of the crucible that's probably happening in August.

For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner–I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones

[hamptercatapult]

Yep. You see the sheer number of levels this works on?

You guys are dangerously close to realizing specifically what kinds of people they keep from voting and why.

[molothoo]

I want to drill this into everybody’s head:

The United States of America has the highest prison population in the world

Black Americans and Latin people make up the majority of this population (many of whom are non-violent offenders)

Federal Prisons in America require that their state keeps their prisons at a maximum occupancy at all times.

The 13th amendment did not entirely abolish slavery…just one form of it. It remains legal through industrial prison system

[scretladyspider]

Oh and we have privatized prisons which allow companies to actually make money off of keeping people incarcerated 

[dantalaois]

[odinsblog]

Here’s what’s really perverse: prisoners, who cannot vote, still get counted in the U.S. Census. The more prisoners a county has, the more representation it gets, even though the prisoners cannot vote. See how that works? The more black and brown people they lock up, the more government resources and political representation they get. Even though those prisoners have no say and cannot vote.

If county-A has a population of 50 voters but no prisons, and county-B has a population of 50 voters and 50 prisoners, the county with the prisoners gets more government funding and more political represention. This is sometimes called “prison gerrymandering” and it is used in redistrictring.

Not so fun Fact: Southern states that reliably vote for Republicans also have the highest prison population in the United States. (source). So mass incarceration is a double whammy. It’s both a form of voter suppression and a tool to strengthen white people’s political power.

[blackfilmmakers]

When they were first establishing this system, everyone was trying to decide whether to go with this electoral college thing or yknow, “most votes win”

Only way you could be eligible to vote was being a white man WITH property. White southerners didn’t have many people with property, and thus would be at a disadvantage. They did, however, have a lot of slaves. So of course they were in favor for the electoral college, since all those slaves wouldn’t be able to vote AND they got the voting power to run things. Northern states recognized their aim, and so to not give The South too much power, every slave counted as 3/5 of a person. That’s what the 3/5 Compromise was all about

We know what happens afterwards: Black people were freed, and they(mainly Black men at the time) were allowed to vote. White people did not like that, so they invented ludicrous laws called the Black Codes to find excuses to arrest and take away Black citizens’ freedom again (not being employed, testifying against white people in court, failing to pay a fee) Now they have their slaves back AND get more state voting power since we are recognized as full fledged citizens. As we see above, these laws still linger under different names

TLDR: Slavery will most likely be the answer when one questions why systems are the way they are

Stars could be a role in Romeo and Juliet.

A nonspeaking character who is just there. Standing and smirking and emoting and bringing attention to how often stars (fate) is mentioned over and over again.

Imagine "I defy you stars" shouted at a person? Knowing that it was the effort to defy fate which brought the fate about?

Imagine stars stepping back as Romeo notes how alive Juliet looks in the grave. Pondering, confused as we hope he takes the sliver of chance at a happy ending. But the stars return close, step between the lovers and blind Romeo to the truth.

Stars joining the hands of the fathers. Finally achieving the point. All this to join hands. Some death now for no death later. Or perhaps stars had a different goal. But emoting at the end could communicate an interpretation of why the tragedy occurred.

Stars pulling swords out of sheaths.

Stars standing behind Juliet as Romeo calls her the sun.

Stars cradling Juliet's face, stealing her gaze in act 1 when she speaks "If he be marrièd, My grave is like to be my wedding bed." As if in a trance. As if hypnotized.

Stars handing friar Lawence the vial. Whispering to him before he makes suggestions.

Stars throwing Tybalt back on stage. It is unclear why he would return to the scene of the crime.

Stars acting out physically the unlucky circumstances that are necessary for the story while characters completely ignore them.

Mercutio seeing Stars as he speaks of dreams and drawing closer to them as he loses track of the real world.

The prologue calls the lovers star-crossed. I've usually heard the view that the tragedy isthe result of the stupidity of the characters and youth itself

But what if for for one show it was fate

Artemis II astronauts share their favorite wake up songs so far

The Canadian prime minister asks astronauts on live broadcast for wakeup song suggestions for his daughters Playlist

[012phoenix]

I just love it when politicians act like normal people

[henrykudhirai]

this artemis 2 landing is so unreasonably funny to me. like yes this is the craft we sent people to orbit the MOON in, further into space than any human's ever gone before. it is the culmination of centuries of human knowledge and effort. literal rocket science. how do we land it? ☝️well we strap on three (3) parachutes, drop them into the sea & hope for the best

[012phoenix]

It is actually twelve parachutes that deploy in groups and get detached after some point, and everything is calculated in detail, but I still get what you mean

[ivytwines]

do you ever feel like a nutella jar floating joyfully through the Orion spacecraft as it approaches the Moon?

[012phoenix]

Every once in a while I do

[red-wood-raven]

And what if I said the Artemis II launch was making me emotional?

[012phoenix]

This is the best thing they could've said in that situation.

In this long chain of technical terms and commands, this carried even more weight than it does on its own
