Interests include classics, socialist theory, queer characters and a variety of fandoms (wot, merlin, tlt, danmei, yoi, one piece, dunmeshi, etc.), witchcraft, horror, science, cults, animanga, social dancing, figure skating, and niche fandom drama. My politcal opinions range from: decentralization of power in social structures should be an essential human ethic and direct action agains't property to protect humans and ecosystems is always justified to yes it is praxis to vote strategically in US elections and it's cool when DSA endorsed candidates win. Juggling hyperfixations. Prone to rants and rambles. If I follow you it’s probably because I thought your url was funny. Queue is untagged and only occasionally empty. Obies, irl friends, and mutuals encouraged to say hey. PSA: —idol inspo— is a tag for a dystopian novel concept I’m working on. Which is why there’s weird and horrible stuff with that tag on it. PSA PART 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i spam wheel of time stuff every wednesday if you don't want to see it blacklist the tags 'wot' and 'wot show'

Bitches!!! Several co-workers and I all just left a very unhealthy job (at least 5 of us all left lol). I sent your article ‘The Resignation Checklist’ around to everyone before we did. This is a message my co-worker sent me- she went over the checklist and realized she had PTO that wouldn’t have paid out and used it before she left!!! I used the checklist myself and before I left: quit at the beginning of the month to get an extra month of insurance, am going for a physical and dental cleaning, went and got an eye exam and new glasses through my vision insurance, made sure my 401k was vested, and redeemed some company rewards points for a gift card! I especially would never have thought about new glasses without your list and am so excited for them. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and that your article was a hit with my work friends- thank you!!! <3

OH HONEY!!!! Damn this brings tears to our eyes. We're so thrilled for you and your coworkers!!! It's a huge honor to know that we helped you guys out in your quitting journey.

forgot to reapply my layers of blood meal the last month or so, the deer ate one of my strawberry plants 😔

friend of mine recommended a video essay that's like 5 hours long about why it's currently a whole Thing for fascists to claim they only eat meat and demonize vegetables etc etc, and it's genuinely quite well researched in many places and contains some fascinating history and has made me feel very weird about my status as an adult who enjoys drinking milk. but I've not finished it and I genuinely don't know if I will because at one point the ol' "you can't say you care about animals and also eat animals" chestnut got dropped by the white vegan essayist and it put such a bad taste in my mouth that I had to leave instantly

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

like idk man it just feels genuinely parodic to dedicate hours to analyzing how foodways have frequently been used as white supremacist propaganda and then casually toss out an argument that pretty invariably demonizes indigenous hunting practices with 0 regard for traditional knowledge and land stewardship guiding those practices

[deramin2]

Every time I hear a white vegan say that I want to throw the rubble of the Klamath Dams at them.

The largest dam removal in U.S. history. So successful that the salmon that haven’t run freely in the river for literally over a century came back the next year. Not steady progress over a decade as expected, the very next salmon run they came home. No one alive saw salmon in that river outside the hatcheries kept by native’s tribes and the Department of Fish And Wildlife scientists desperately trying to save them. One of the activists who helped bring the suit spoke of their dying grandmother making them promise to bring the fish home, and they didn’t know how that was possible, but they spent decades doing it.

The legal basis for successfully suing the power company who owned the dams was Indigenous treaty rights to eat the fish. Eating the fish was the one thing in a century that succeeded in being a clear and legally binding right that superseded the desires of white capital and industry. I have been going to the public interest environmental law conference off and on for 20 years where a lot of organizing for Undam The Klamath happened. I’ve heard updates about every legal tact they tried as they happened, and they tried everything.

There are healthy, thriving salmon, trout, and lamprey in a rewilding and recovering Klamath River right now as a direct result of Indigenous people eating them. Of their legally binding right to eat them. They sure as fuck care more about those fish than any white vegan ever could. They are salmon people that the Creator sent Salmon to feed, while charging the People with protecting and stewarding them. It’s not possible to learn about salmon and trout in the Pacific Northwest without learning this, and it’s unambiguously racist to dismiss this symbiotic relationship.

The white vegans are trying to get all hunting and fishing banned in Oregon, and that’s quite possibly the single most catastrophic thing that could be done to the animals here because we killed off all the major predators of creatures like deer and without anything hunting them their numbers will explode, eat all the vegetation, destroy the ecosystem, and then die along with everything else in that failing ecosystem. Controlled hunting of deer is vitally necessary for the deer to survive. This is something Native people know, but patronizing racist savior-complex white people refuse to listen to.

I have a whole collection of Oregon’s Public Broadcasting’s documentaries about Klamath River or the larger story of fish and people in the region. If you watch nothing else, watch Klamath Dams Are Coming Out, First Salmon Ceremony, After The Dams, and First Decent (Native made). It could not be clearer that the salmon are being protected and nourished by the people who eat them, and that stewardship is a massive part of their creation myths. But it contradicts political vegan dogma so they don’t listen.

#also do you have any idea how much conservation is funded by people who want to eat those animals#at least in the us anytime someone buys ammo or hunting equipment or hunting licenses that money goes directly to state wildlife agencies

[clearancecreedwatersurvival]

y'all nothing in that video was arguing against hunting or fishing or farming through traditional indigenous practices, all of the discussion advocating against consuming animal products was just elucidating the realities of factory farming within our capitalist system and the environmental impacts of beef production and reiterating research about how intelligent and social cows and other stock animals are and how horrific and wasteful slaughterhouses are when operated at the speed they need to to make a profit within the current system and how multinational corporations skirt ethics regulations put in place to improve animal welfare

you should perhaps actually watch the whole video before trying to argue against their points, especially as it was incredibly nuanced (hence the almost six hour run time) and also went into detail about how fascists in vegetarian cultures invert the standard meat obsession we see with US white supremacists (i.e. hindu supremacists targeting muslim populations because they eat meat, Hitler being a vegetarian, etc.) and there is an entire hour long section discussing many problems with the standard vegan talking points that y'all are repeating in this post

i am not a vegan and i have often vocally disagreed with the vegan suppositions and PETA bullshit y'all are strawmanning here but like. that's not what the video was about.

ppl on ao3 should use the "this work was inspired by" option more. so many fics out there that put links to other fics in the a/n but theres a better option.....

☝️ use this!!!!!!

[itsoverfeeling]

important addition i forgot that not everyone might know. similar to how ao3 bookmarks work, you can also link to non-ao3 fanworks using this format. so, for instance, if theres some fanart on tumblr that inspired you to write the fic? you can link that fanart to your fic!

See, the problem with character vs character polls is that you will at some point reach the rule of funny. So the real question isn't if One Punch Man Saitama or Goku would win, the real question is:

Who would win?

Miss Piggy

Bugs Bunny

Remaining time: 13 hours 59 minutes

[clearancecreedwatersurvival]

i'm sorry but i must disagree with the majority here, the answer should be bugs, bugs would win through cartoon logic while piggy is bound by the drama of physical muppet stunts

by the way the reason for something like wheel of time having once been considered unfilmable is not bc of the special effects or the budget requirements of making it feel appropriately epic (though these are also factors). its because the plot of the books is just in and of itself impossible to condense into a structure appropriate for a visual medium without dramatic changes. someone needs to have a serious innovative vision for the whole thing. adapting the books straightforwardly with as few changes as possible would never have been viable in any way, neither financially as a commercial product, nor narratively as a work of story. any attempt at that would have sucked shit and it would have been made for a genuinely miniscule audience consisting almost exclusively of the book fans who would watch any adaptation no matter how unwatchable as long as it felt made with them in mind. like in choosing to cater completely to book fans the show would have been just as completely inaccessible to any viewer who didn't already love the books. idk it bothers me that ppl can't understand the logic of this. nitpicking every change and feeling entitled to being centered as the primary audience is the nostalgia critic's way
