no matter what song ive been testing it and lauing my ass off for an hour

there is a judge in Seattle who does the weekly name change hearings, and who says it's her favorite part of the week. she says she doesn't read out previous names, or ask about the reasons why people want to change them. she says it's a beautiful moment, and a celebration; a claiming of a new identity, or a reclamation of an old identity. she encourages the room to clap for folks. then she welcomes everyone up, one by one, by last name and with warmth; she shows them the court order where nobody else can see, asks them to double check the spelling, and then they're done! do they want a picture? do they want their friends and loved ones who came with them to be in it too? do they want the court order in the photo? she helps everyone pose, shakes hands and stands with them for as long as they need to take it, recruits the clerk for help taking photos of the folks who came alone. then she tells them where to go next, congratulates them, and claps along with the rest of the room.

probably three quarters of the people there were trans, and she centered their experience quietly, with love and joy.

I think I'll be thinking about her a lot this January, and for a long time after. it's good to know she's there.

No one is immune to propaganda. There have been right-wingers about claiming Trump would be good for Israel (he would not) and that Harris doesn't support Israel (she does, loudly. She also supports Palestinian civilians and opposes Hamas.) Go watch her nomination speech. For that matter, watch the whole DNC convention. Harris' husband, like Harris herself, was very strong on the dangers of antisemitism. And the rousing cheers from the crowd of thousands will do you good.

so sorry if this is weird but do you remember the meta that was about castiel's power decreasing over the seasons? and how it makes sense bc he basically had been plugging incompatible batteries into his engine? i think you might've even been the one to write it but i can't seem to find it, if you can't find it i understand i just figured i'd ask in case you knew where it was.

So clearly you found what you needed since it took me forever to actually get around to my inbox:

But since I'm finally getting around to this, here's some links to various Cas meta just because I like talking about him and it's a good opportunity to resurrect some of my favorite meta I've written about him:

The post I think you were talking about

Cas vs Chuck Battle Royale and Additional TMWWBK Context

Heaven vs Cas in S11

Cas, conflict avoidance, penance, and purgatory and S9 Metafiction Follow Up

Cas's new human context in S9

Reflections on pre-Dean Castiel's mindset

Cas Is Not Well-Adjusted

This is pretty far from a complete sampling of my writings on the rich subject of Castiel (my beloved), but I know my Casposting doesn't get as much circulation as my Deanposting because my opinions are a little controversial in the most vocal Casgirl circles on this webbed site, so it always seems like a good time to bring some Cas posts back around for the consideration of the masses lmao

honestly? that one David Tennant Richard II Kiss™ is my favourite acted kiss in history

look how ridiculously tender and how achingly desperate it is. so gentle, so kind, and yet so selfish at the same time. i've never seen anything quite so human

just. just look at these

there's something so genuine and chaste about this kiss, while also being gorgeously passionate and heated and...... it's just perfect

god the juxtaposition of Dean telling Sam that he's awkward around girls, almost back to back with Dean being THEE most awkward person alive to the point that it's making everyone else in the room uncomfortable........... because a hot guy is making eye contact with him.

ilarual

no sorry but I'm still thinking about this because this is so intentional. like we have Dean saying Sam will not be interrogating the hot lady because:

and then less than two minutes later, Maritza's husband Larry, Noticeably Hot Guy, makes eye contact with Dean and Dean just:

Dean's whole entire brain falls directly out his ass and into the core of the earth where it's immediately incinerated and he starts acting like a complete whacko because he's forgotten how human interaction works.

and then in literally the next scene after that, he's immediately clocked as queer by Maritza's brother. sorry but this is so unsubtle it's almost comical how much they're just hitting the audience with a giant cartoon hammer labeled DEAN WINCHESTER IS QUEER

ilarual

no no I'm not done thinking about this because like... there's this thing the show does where the writers use a direct comparison between Sam's interactions with women and Dean's interactions with men to highlight Dean's queerness in ways that wouldn't normally stand out without the contrast against Sam.

obviously the loudest example of this is the scene in Beyond the Mat with Sam and his celebrity crush Rio contrasted with Dean and his celebrity crush Gunner, but the show does this repeatedly and often, and this is such an interesting example of it.

on its own, Dean being a weirdo in that job interview is just. Dean being a weirdo in a job interview for no clear reason. He's Dean, he says whacky shit all the time, right? Don't think about it too hard, it's fine... but then you slip in that scene of Dean telling Sam that he's weird around girls. women he's attracted to make him awkward and flustered (which is true lmao). and so suddenly this episode has set us up with the premise of "Winchester brother gets flustered and awkward around people he's attracted to" and in conjunction with the long lingering looks between Dean and Larry that prompt Dean to be such a weirdo Sam has to step in and rescue the conversation... well, suddenly all of that takes on connotations.

it's shot this way intentionally. the way the camera lingers intently on Larry and Dean having intense eye contact, even when neither of them is speaking, that's on purpose. Jensen leans into the acting choices here intentionally. the overly-loud speech, the uncontrolled flailing arms, that's on purpose. they did this specifically to highlight how Dean, who is so verbally intelligent and always ready with a smart quip, just can't make his words work all of a sudden because this pretty man is staring at him...

and it's all specifically highlighted by the original implication that Sam, who is attracted to women, is weird and awkward around women. the show is literally giving us 1 and 1 and asking us to do simple addition here and it's absolutely wild how effective it is at skimming right past network censorship.
