Reblogging Whatever Obsession Controls My Life rn

. She/her. Frequent and/or recent fandoms include: Dan and Phil, Leverage, Dimension 20, Doctor Who, Good Omens, West Wing, SPN, Brooklyn 99, The Good Place, MCU, Percy Jackson, and Harry Potter (though I strongly condemn JKR’s bigotry and trans exclusionary radical feminism). . My username comes from a field trip in 5th grade to a nature preserve where we were learning about how streams naturally wind and meander, which slows down the water flow, and my favorite teacher joked with me that if I had a nature name it would be Meandering Stream because I’ve always been one to stop and smell the roses (and then probably go back for the daffodils, tulips, carnations, and honeysuckle as well). Years later I’m still a wanderlusting, procrastinating dreamer, and I rather like the name. I also joined AO3 under the same username. . . . A Few of my Favorite Things poem Velvet dresses with muddy boots, books and pages and surfacing roots. Lavender and indigo ink, dark wavy hair and dawn’s timid pink. Frilly and strong, flowy and light, the flickering fire, the dark sacred night. Soaring mountains and dogwood trees, mother ocean and herbal teas. Quilts and knitting and theater masks, towering trees and old ship masts. Line dances spinning and twinkling stars, ribbons and lampposts and strings in a jar. Old-timey dresses and modern ones too, Full moons and fireflies and meeting-house pews. Cedar bark-dappled and hazel-ringed eyes Cauldrons that bubble and gluten-free pies. Comets descending past smoke shrouded peaks, Weft-made-of-dew weaving tales that we speak. Stories and dreaming and swift fairy wings Family camp-fires and songs that we sing.

they knew they were three months from telling everyone they’ve been in a relationship since they met and dan wrote d <3 p in whipped cream and made a beeline for a camera to show it off before walking back and letting phil see. and they’ve never fucking talked about it since.

here’s some of my favorite moments from the make a wish live stream

[jurijurijurious]

I still think about how Mace Windu says to Padmé in Attack of the Clones of Dooku: “you know Count Dooku was once a Jedi? He couldn’t assassinate anyone. It’s not in his character”.

If Mace Windu, he who takes no shit and who suffers no fools, says “it’s not in his character” it tells you a lot about the kind of Jedi Dooku was and how he presented himself. But it also tells of the astonishing depth and speed of his fall. And you can see the deep wound of betrayal on Mace’s face when he draws his blade on Dooku in the arena on Geonosis.

[jurijurijurious]

Wait what if… Dooku stayed Mace’s hand one time, stopped him from killing someone? “Patience, young Master Windu. Patience before passion.”

I Watched a 55-Year-Old Law Break the AI Hiring Industry — And It Was Overdue

The Eightfold AI lawsuit exposed what happens when companies treat employment decisions like ad targeting — and why the fix requires enginee

Curious now as to if my applications last year were filtered through this system. Some companies (like Adobe, Oracle, etc) should have jumped at my experience in lifecycle management but I either heard nothing at all or a form rejection weeks after applying.

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!

Frankly, I think taking 24 seasons before depicting Richard Nixon as a bloodsucking monster shows a lot of restraint on Brennan's part

something something that phenomenon where companies only put women in charge when they’re going under and Eva Stratt being put in charge of basically all of Earth during the apocalypse. worlds whipping boy (girl) indeed.

Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

This the report that JK Rowing doesn't want you to see. This report scares her so much that she is trying to destroy Amnesty International, a human rights organization, to stop you reading it:

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net)

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their fundin

(Amnesty already pulled the report because of JKR's threats. Of course that didn't and won't stop her - capitulating to fascists and bigots is never the answer. Alejandra captured the report and posted it, so you can read what JKR doesn't want you to know.)
