twenty something trying to figure out life

[wataksampingan]

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

i love how heartstopper literally hits like almost every letter in the lgbtqia+ acronym but never feels like diversity for the sake of diversity. the characters are not tokenized, stereotyped, or flattened into a letter. they are an unapologetic, queer, vibrant friend group whose identities and personalities shine.

something important for Aussies to remember heading into the polls is that our political system is very different to the one in the USA.

I remind you now because a third of all Australians don’t understand how our voting system works, and this gives you plenty of time to get up to speed with it! look at example ballots online!

Scott Morrison is the prime minister just because he happens to be the current leader of the Liberal Party. the only people who can oust him are people in his electorate, or his party if they so choose.

so rather than focusing on all the shambles caused by the party leader, it’s also important to pay attention to the clusterfucks committed by your local member and the party as a whole.

it’s also important to remember that, in our system, there’s no such thing as a “wasted vote”.

voting for the Greens first preference is not stealing a vote from the Labor Party. if no Greens candidate gets elected in your area, your vote will go to the next preference. I’m advising all my leftist friends to exhaust their preferences in the senate election in May, and I suggest you do the same!

remember: it’s at least 12 below the line OR at least 6 above the line.

in conclusion: vote smart. do your research. get the buggers out.
