Welcome to my alternative lair bitches

[siriusblacklftv]

if you don't know what is going on in Kerr County, Texas right now, here's a recap. Kerrville, Hunt, San Angelo and many other small towns and communities are settled along the Guadalupe River which runs from Kerr County in the Hill Country to the San Antonio Bay on the Gulf Coast. Last night, due to a storm that settled over the area and stalled, and is continuing to stall, the Guadalupe rose from being nearly dry at about 3ft last night to approximately 27ft in 45 MINUTES. Kerrville, Hunt, Comfort, and other surrounding areas received nearly 10'' of rain in 3 hours, which for some areas is an entire summer's worth of rain. IN 3 HOURS. Kerrville has many very popular camping sites that are packed with campers for the independence day holiday. To make matters worse, there are several children's summer camps along the Guadalupe River that were evacuated in the middle of last night. Over 100 people are missing, including 23 young girls from Camp Mystic. 24 fatalities are confirmed already. More rain is expected to fall tonight, and the river is likely to rise more and to crest in Spring Branch Tx. The area is being described as completely devastated and destroyed. Entire houses swept away, people being rescued from trees, power outages, a highway destroyed. Children's summer camps like Camp Mystic and Camp La Junta were evacuated but others like Mo Ranch and possibly Honey Creek and John Knox Ranch are having to shelter in place all while without power, wifi and other amenities due to the flooding. Heart O The Hills Summer Camp, while not in session, was completely destroyed, and their director Jane, a giant in the Camp world, is sadly deceased after being swept away while getting counselors to higher ground. The news is now saying the Guadalupe could rise, and very quickly, to 40ft tonight, meaning it would likely cover Hwy 281. PLEASE STAY SAFE IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA! LISTEN TO EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS AND DO NOT GO OUT ON THE ROADS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End is way more than your average fantasy.

Spoiler free

(CW)

Blood and gore

Death and grief

Mild drinking and smoking

I REALLY fell in love with the series. Originally, I thought that it was going to be your average DnD-esque fantasy but I was completely wrong. The story's main theme is grief and memories of your deceased loved ones. The fight scenes are amazing and beautifully animated. The soundtrack is one of the best in the business. The dynamic with the elves and the humans are very interesting, having a long lifespan than compared to humans and it ends up causing conflict in relationships. This series has made me cry faster than Dandadan and Dandadan made me cry on ep 7. Frieren took 2. If you like a lot of character driven stories with a lot of depth, I will surely recommend it.

The fact that people are mad at a man with tourettes for having tics is infuriating. God forbid someone is born with a neurological condition that they can't control. This is why movies like I Swear are so important. There are so many people who just don't understand tourettes at all.

DL;DR

Meeting with the committee was not great but we do have the majority opinion on our side. So the next meeting hopefully will be a little better

2 NGOs, one in the EU and one in the US. The US's may be harder to get through because of lack of legislation.

Many of the AAA industry were caught violating the eu's consumer protection laws however if we go through with that path it can cause many issues down the line

Hopefully, we can fight this "You will own nothing and be happy" nonsense that plagues the current world. We have the right to own our own property that we bought and pay for.

It's my 7 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Venezuela has been attacked by US Forces tonight, a short SEAD air campaign that wiped out the remaining Air Force assets, followed by a small scale ground assault via helicopter insertion, most likely with special forces, and communications with Venezuela are currently cut, at least in Maracaibo since we can’t reach my wife’s family (they’re in Maracaibo away from the main air strike targets).

Let me be clear with you guys: This is a GOOD THING, the Maduro regime has been responsible for the deaths of thousands of students and general civilians during the massive protests of 2014-2016, not to mention further repression after the large scale protests ended and gave way to smaller ones, plus all the deaths due to the horrific state of the healthcare system, and the general lack of food and medicine that plagued the country between 2017 and 2019, which only sort of got fixed after millions of Venezuelans left the country, finally allowing the few things left to actually be enough for the remaining population.

We don’t know what will happen next, we don’t even know if the heads of the Venezuelan government are all alive, although the regime seems to be standing FOR NOW.

So, let me ask for your prayers, not to stop the American government, but to ensure no needless civilian deaths take place while the Maduro regime finally collapses for good.

It’s been a long way coming!

¡Viva Venezuela libre!

[koolzcats]

I hope Venezuela can finally become a democracy again. This roach of a human being literally rigged the election twice, has caused thousands to die, ruined the economy, CHANGED THE CONSTITUTION BECAUSE HE WAS MAD AT PROTESTERS. No wonder you guys are so happy to have this guy out. I'm not a big fan of trump, but I have to give the guy props. I hope they get the rest of the regime.

Happy New Year, let's not jinx it this time

Good. People like this are a blight on feminism and society as a whole and should be severely punished.

[sometimes-men-need-help-too]

Hey, as a man, I hate the men's rights movement. It's grossly sexist and really flawed, and it's really sad to see women defending it.

I'm not gonna lie, dude, that last part sounds a bit patronizing/condescending. I'm sure that's not how you meant it but that's how it came across to me. It's just pretty similar to how (some) feminists have spoken to me in the past, treating me like oh, you just don't know any better

I defend it and believe in this movement because I understand how important is it. I believe in spreading awareness, not hate. I do it to show them that someone does care, that more people care than they realize. I want to offer a different perspective in the hope that even my tiny contribution to the cause can maybe change someone's mind, can maybe get them to see a point of view they didn't understand before

You don't have to be an MRA or take on any label to care about men's rights. I don't consider myself a feminist but that doesn't mean I don't care about women's rights. I just don't want to associate myself with that particular movement. But back to the point: regardless of your view on the (men's rights) movement itself, there are so many issues that need to be talked about, that need to be dealt with and changed for the better. We need to be there for all the male abuse and rape/assault victims who don't feel like they have any support. We need to be there for the victims who aren't included in rape laws. We need to be vocal against blatant double standards that many participate in. We need to be there for the men who are suffering with their mental health and not just repeat the same old things - speak up, go to therapy

And that's just the tip of the iceberg

I don't think the movement is perfect. I think it has similar issues that I'm seeing within the feminism movement. I don't think it's "grossly sexist" but I have seen these posts or comments where someone wastes an opportunity to talk about issues that genuinely need attention drawn to them, only to insult feminists or women as a whole and it's not necessary nor okay. I have my issues with the feminism movement so I get it, but we're not going to get anywhere like that. If you see hateful behavior coming from either side, it's not going to sound like something you want to be part of (at least, for the vast majority)

It's just really disheartening to see a post that I generally agree with but it's worded so strongly and poorly that I don't want to reblog it (because I'm not going to have those kinds of posts on my blog)

Now I don't know what your feelings are towards men's right as a whole but I will say this: I tend to see people who share your view point and they will completely deny that men have issues as well, or least through of a lens of it's not that bad compared to what women go through. And it shouldn't be a competition, by the way. Raising awareness and wanting change for an issue that doesn't pertain to you doesn't mean we don't care about women's issues or see them as lesser. But as I was saying, it's important not to be completely dismissive (and I'm not just saying that to you, but to anybody that reads this), as I've read comments from men specifically who believe men (as a whole) aren't really going through anything. I've had men send me asks telling me it's not really necessary to have this blog because men don't need it

And as I've said before - if you feel like you haven't really encountered any misandry, haven't had any directed at you that is your perspective and I respect that. I'm not going to argue and insist it's been worse than what it was. However. You cannot speak for men as a whole, just as I cannot speak for women as a whole despite that I know that I've never like my gender has made life difficult for me

Do I think that things could be done better (regarding the movement itself)? Yeah, I do. I've got a small list. I also know that there's a lot of push back just talking about issues (the assumption that men don't have issues, saying it's all men's fault anyway, bringing up women in the discussion which is doing the same thing that many will complain about - men inserting themselves in a discussion about something women are going through)

I really do wish we could see more people willing to work together regardless of what label you take on or lack of. I think we call agree that there are problems that need to be faced and we can't face them if all we're doing is pointlessly arguing

I don't use this blog to only attract anti feminists or who specifically call themselves men's rights activists. I want everyone to see this, I want everyone to see what I have to say without the snark or feeling like they aren't welcomed to

Anyway, that got kind of long but I hope that kind of helps you see my point of view

[koolzcats]

Well said, It's sad that we have to explain this to people

Took emiru's assault for people to find out about another assault that happened last year. Said (the victim) was forcibly twerked and almost had his clothes ripped off by 2 women

Twitch only banned the assaulters for a day. Twitch doesn't care about safety on the platform. HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO ALLOW THIS

[sometimes-men-need-help-too]

An apology without permanently changed behavior is useless

And that's especially important in the context of abusive relationships

They might have an incredibly sweet and thoughtful way of apologizing and making it up to you. They might even change their behavior for a short time

But it's not going to stay like that

[sullxo]

the level of carelessness in what happened to emiru at twitchcon can not be talked about enough.

[koolzcats]

This has been going on since twitchcon was started. Multiple people warned others not to go to twitchcon because of this issue. Two sexual assaults happened literally last year. Twitch has a notable track record of being so irresponsible not only with twitchcon but on their own platform that I wouldn't blame anyone for not going to twitch and not going to their events. At best, they're throwing streamer's gifts in the trash without their knowledge, at worse they're actively making it an unsafe environment for their own streamers while lying to everyone's face.

[sometimes-men-need-help-too]

Now I know some people get tired of seeing gender reversals online ("well if a man did this...." )

But hear me out

Sometimes it's good for us to think about how we would respond in a similar situation but with the genders reversed

Your first inclination may be to say that you wouldn't change your response, and some of you wouldn't. But others would. And I think it's important we recognize any bias we may have

[sometimes-men-need-help-too]

Something I've noticed and briefly talked about before is that when a woman is arrested for some kind of criminal activity towards a man, I tend to see at least one comment (but usually more) of someone saying we shouldn't judge her because we don't know the full story yet

Maybe not on every single post I've seen, but many of them do

But a lot of these people who say that are hypocritical. They say that in regards to the woman, but they've already deduced that the man has hurt her in some way that drove her to do whatever it is that she did (he cheated, he abused her, etc etc)

If you're going to insist that we can't judge her for not knowing the full story, you can't judge him either and act as though your version is what happened with absolute certainty

You have to be consistent
