oh to be a hot alternative girl with a ponytail and a baseball cap and a facemask with visible eyeliner working behind the counter at a shitty gas station in some lame suburb wearing pants that are just a little too tight and make my ass look really big and a stupid work shirt and nametag and i'm on my phone scrolling social media for my whole shift but then some shy girl walks in to buy a single immature beverage like juice or some shit and shes wearing like a punch of whites abd pinks and shes got a bunny hairclip and she walks up to the counter and i'm scrolling my phone and shes like "h-hi.." and i look up and i'm like "what" and she blushes REALLY hard and goes "E-EEK- UM.. JJUST THIS PLEASE" and i'm like "okay" and i ring her up and she pays me and takes the drink and practically runs out of the store and i barely take note and keep scrolling my phone disinterestedly but the girl remembers the whole thing visibly and she peeks through the advertisements from outside the store to get a look at me right as i stretch and mh shirt rides up and reveals a tiny bit of my tummy and sge blushes REALLY hard and runs home feeling like a total freak but i didnt even notice or care because i'm nonchalant and doing my own thing. and then maybe she keeps finding excuses to come in and i start picking up on something but i dont know what except she realizes we go to the same college and she starts seeing me (no facemask and i keep my hair down) around campus but she doesnt know its me but i know its her and she approaches me and makes friends with me and slowly we start to realize how much we like each other through repeated interactions at school on my end and at my work on hers and maybe we can. um. anyways i think thatd be cool

Juneteenth is about Black people who were officially technically supposed to be freed from enslavement. Nobody else. Nothing else. It's not a POC day. It's not a "freedom for all" day. It's Black folk, Black culture, Black emancipation, SPECIFICALLY. Any other observation for Juneteenth is gentrification.

[neshatriumphs]

Your Juneteenth reminder that just because they made it a "national holiday," it's still not. It's for the celebration of Black Americans being freed from slavery, finally.

It's from Texas. We been welcoming other descendants of the enslaved. But we close the gate and draw the line with "everybody."

[neshatriumphs]

Bringing this back on Juneteenth because making Black observations a national holiday didn't and doesn't end racism and the nonblacks are more insufferable than they have been in my lifetime about Black American people and our things.

Happy Juneteenth to those whose lives would not be actively free without the day happening. See the rest of you tomorrow.

Harald Sohlberg, Street in Oslo, 1911

[afloweroutofstone]

You should loudly boo every Democrat who attacks Trump’s deal with Iran for being too Iran-friendly. Any deal to end this war is a good deal. I do not care that we are returning the assets we stole from them. Cry about it. If you don’t want to make concessions to a country you consider an adversary, don’t start pointless wars with them and kill schools full of their children

[bigguywithredhand]

Not really, we just started a war for no fucking reason and now we are PAYING FOR IT? You’re damn right I’m a little pissed at Trump. No one wanted to go to war. Not you or me but here we are and now we have to pay for it???? Get that rotten orange fuckwad out of here

[afloweroutofstone]

We have not agreed to pay for anything. Returning frozen assets is just giving Iran their own money back after we previously took it from them. And assuming that the “investment fund” that’s being discussed ever materializes at all, its structure as an investment fund means that any money put into it will be returned, likely with small profits (and besides, it will probably be more GCC money than US money). The only effect of this bullshit line of attack on the US-Iran deal is to make peace less likely.

“Jorge Rivera-Herrans is the next Lin Manuel Miranda! Jorge is Lin!”

No Jorge Rivera-Herrans is the next Darren Criss/Nick and Matt Lang. EPIC is new gen A Verry Potter Musical.

Epic is a (low budget) musical based on famous book made by a bunch of talented people stemming from someone’s uni project and keeps getting revived by awesome animations and got suppperrr famous online THAT’S AVPM

And now it’s super duper popular they’re making a second musical based on related stories (ILIUM vs AVPSY) that’s hollup lemme tell you exactly how this is gonna work out

Epic is gonna get super famous, Ilium is gonna be incredible but not gonna have as much popularity. Then Jorge’s going to create as many more projects as he wants to and they’re just randomly going to SPIKE in fame (TGWDLM, Twisted… need i go on?) and he’s going to have a theatrical universe

How do I know this? BECAUSE IT’S WHAT HAPPENED TO STARKID

[pronouncingitwang]

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

[yokowan]

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

[le-jardin-inculte]

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

"Fascism"—New Federal Rule Would Require Federal Funding Recipients To Deny Trans People Exist

The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitation—hospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."

Downside of no LTA musical for a couple years: No LTA musical

Upside of no LTA musical for a couple years: My dreamcasts are canon until I'm told otherwise

I have a good chunk of the plot already set in stone and I'm for real considering making a long form comic when I've sorted out the rest. It's been taking root in my brain and I can't get it out!!!

Alt. title would just be Snow White and Rose Red, because at its core it's a story about siblings. I really really love the og SW&RR story man lol

As is obvious it's been mixed in with the classic Snow White most know, and a touch of B&tB (which is made more fitting if you've also read SW&RR)

CAST (so far)

Snow White -> Played by Janaya Mahealani Jones

Rose Red and Orator #1 -> Played by Kim Whalen

Magic Mirror and Orator #2 -> Played by Corey Dorris

The Great Beast Magnus -> Played by Damien Haas

Charmaine Florianus -> Played by Darilyn Burtley

Evil Queen/Genevieve → Played by Jaime Lynn Beatty

MINOR PLAYERS/RETURNING APPEARANCES

Queen Ella Ashmore → Played by Bryce Charles

Tadius → Played by Curt Mega

Narrator -> Played by Jeff Blim
