Stoat Mustela erminea

Known as a stoat, ermine, or, in North America, a short-tailed weasel. It is found across the northern hemisphere through Europe, Asia, and North America. Formerly considered a single species with a very wide circumpolar range, a 2021 study split M. erminea into three species: M. erminea sensu stricto (Eurasia and Alaska), M. richardsonii (most of North America), and M. haidarum (several islands off the Pacific Northwest coast)

Folks, the unfortunate time has come. I'm stepping away from this blog. Not a decision I've made easily, but I've not truly been in the Good Omens fandom for a while and now need to be putting my energy elsewhere.

If anyone would like to pick up where I'm leaving off please send me a message @infinitevariety. It would be great if a few people were interested, because I can tell you it's a lot to manage on your own! I'm happy to be around for a handover, any ongoing questions, and help with tagging, etc. This has been my passion project for over five years now, I'd like to leave it in good hands.

As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, it is worth asking: who gets to control the celebration? The government, the President, or the corporations that fund them both?

In my latest, I discuss President Trump's takeover of the 250 celebrations, the corporations and military contractors who have sponsored them, and the corruption that emerges when corporate power collaborates with unaccountable state power.

Who Is Running America’s 250th Anniversary? - The American Prospect

The private-private partnership behind the semiquincentennial celebrations.

There are currently two different organizations organizing America’s 250th anniversary, and they are in direct competition with one another. America250 is a bipartisan organization created by Congress with the goal of organizing an anniversary that could be celebrated by all Americans. Freedom 250, on the other hand, is a company created by the White House shortly after President Trump was sworn back into office; though it is technically part of the National Park Foundation, it is controlled by the president and his appointees. Trump’s initiative has gradually absorbed many of the responsibilities that were supposed to be overseen by America250 over the last year, a power grab that mirrors the president’s other efforts to remake the federal government in his own image. Massive posters with Freedom 250 branding now adorn several government agency headquarters across downtown D.C. Freedom 250 has sponsored ads in the city’s Metro system to announce that the CIA is hiring new recruits, and its logo will even be placed on the Social Security cards of all newborn babies for the rest of the year. Both anniversary initiatives are funded by massive corporations that are simultaneously lobbying Congress, donating to politicians, and running advertising campaigns to influence the government. The large pool of money dedicated to the anniversary celebrations—including funds from both the government and the private sector—helped to encourage the president’s takeover: The more events Freedom 250 controls, the more of these funds it can absorb. The result has been a three-way tug-of-war between the public, the president, and corporate boardrooms over who gets to define American culture on this historic occasion. Right now, the public is losing.

An otherworldly AU story that took me ages to write, and it's now posting as a part of the Otherwordly Affairs collab

In every sauna there lives a saunatonttu. Treat these spirits well, and they ensure the good luck for you from the moment you are born in the warmth of their realm, until the day your body is washed there for burial. You should always respect the ancient rules of the sauna. Aziraphale didn’t mean to offend the tonttu! He truly didn't! However, his Christian family was strongly against the pagan deities, so he was sure any tonttus had abandoned their property a long time ago. He was wrong, of course.

“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”

— Bojack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg commenting on how weird gendered defaults in entertainment are, and why we should think twice about them. Excerpted from this longer original post. (via 360degreesasthecrowflies)
