Why not once more @always-dawn - Tumblr Blog

A fire burns inside you, Padawan. That, in itself, is not inherently wrong.

straight up it should be illegal for a physical storefront not to accept physical currency, or for restaurants not to provide physical menus

I'm assuming the above is a normie opinion (as it should be) so i do wanna go a tiny step further and explicitly state any laundromat that requires digital payment should be burned to the fucking ground

if a business cooerces its customers to download an app, i should legally be allowed to set both the business and its board of directors on fire

The assumption that every single business, or service, is owed your personal data, and should be able to track you and mercilessly spam you and monetise the ability to sell off your contact details and so on it’s absolutely deranged.

I have flashlights that are borderline unusable because, while the hardware is fine, the company that made them (hello OLight!) demands that you install and login to the storefront before you can access the configuration software.

But they don’t actively maintain the software or provide any of the new utilities that they promise. They are mostly using it as a way to turn off functional hardware to try and force you to upgrade.

We are living in a society where you can pay for something and the manufacturer can turn it off because they’ve decided that you’ve owned it too long .

I’ve just had to warn my family not to buy electronic door locks because the chances are, if they are Internet connected they will be disabled once the company that owns them has decided that they’re not making enough money charging you a monthly fee to open your own front door.

This is part of an ongoing trend to turn money into something that is no longer usable by everybody .

The eventual aim is to be able to pay people company scrip: If you lose your job, or badmouth the company, or disagree with the dictator, they severely curtail what you are allowed to buy, and from who.

And at that point, you have to pick sides – do you want to be able to have drinking water from Coca-Cola, or Pepsi, and whose package allows you to buy Doritos, and use your smart oven to cook food? Because it won’t turn on unless you use the app to scan the appropriate barcode from the company who now owns your ability to eat drink, heat your home, and wear clothes from brands that they approve.

And if you think that Bezos wouldn’t do that or run his own ghetto where employees have to use Amazon brands and be paid in Amazon money… You haven’t been paying attention to what he’s been building lately.

Okay, we got a new one, boys.

shantismurf

Okay so, definitely this is about not giving your protagonist a spontaneous murder tail, but more largely and it's about building a living breathing world where things fit and work together within an established framework, rather than just adding new mechanics and features in isolation and outside of the rules the reader expects the world to follow.

Just voicing some random thoughts since I reblogged that thing about Crystal.

You guys remember that one lil sequence in Crystal season 3 where Ami jumps off the building into water to then re-emerge as Sailor Mercury and how that was unironically a fucking great scene and concept?

Made me think of other fun and creative ways each of the girls can transform as a quick cut, which involve their powers and/or elements that are naturally found around them.

Just like I'm imagining now Makoto walking sternly inside a building at night or on a cloudy day, only illuminated by the lights above the hallway. At first the lights are on, then they start to flicker only to shut off entirely for a second and then come back on, illuminating who's now Sailor Jupiter who's still walking with determination.

Or there's some sort of fire already present in the scene, say like a building's on fire and Rei has yet to transform. Having her keep walking as Rei into the fire (given there's no witnesses present ofc) and then keeping on the shot of her walking through the fire as a mere sketched black figure only to emerge as Sailor Mars trailing ashes and smoke behind her. Giving a casual hair toss to shake off any excess dust or debris.

Or even with Minako, maybe in a movie set or television station, having the shot still, focused on a bright film light standing on the ground in the middle of the shot. Mina walking past it. Before passing it she's simply just Mina, but as soon as she cuts through the light, it reduces her figure to a vague shadow. Very briefly flashing the screen only to clearly emerge as Sailor Venus once she's past it

I don't know this may be the dumbest shit ever and cringe, but I like stuff like this and I like thinking about shots and compositions cause I'm obsessed.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

ladyfoxfire

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

dressedupliketheking

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can
