May I interest you in a trio of brick-headed Mexican post-apocalyptic bisexuals?

🩷💜💙

I've been working on "The Gifted" project for quite a few years now, and it's finally taking published-book shape :D If you are interested, I would appreciate your support on Instagram and TikTok :) You can find me as @gironwrites on both.

A huge thanks to @rileythecalicocat on Instagram for the lovely commission of the dumb brick trio 💜💚💙

The Gifted by Alex Giron Set 150 in the future in post-apocalyptic Mexico, the Darwin Enclave seeks to rebuild civilization using crooked methods--by sending genetically-modified slave soldiers into the ruins to retrieve the resources they need to rebuild the world. Enter Lyvrea, Othello, and Isador, a nurse, a drug dealer, and a spoiled heir that CANNOT stand each other and are sent to the army. They must work together after they discover a plot is afoot to destroy everyone: The people that have enslaved them, but also the people they care about. Their rivalry turns to a love that doesn't quite fit the box as they are faced with an impossible question: Vengeance or mercy? There are no right answers, only wrong ones, and they must pick one before it is too late.

bi zuko headcanon after the leak:

the life-changing trip with Zuko evolved into a running gag which then devolved to the rest of the gang developing a "crush" on him as they grew up and egging him on about how pretty he is, and they get (fake) petty with each other about who gets the most hang out time with him. Meanwhile Zuko is always like 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄because someone ALWAYS ends up crying or annoyed ahem it's always sokka or aang and they're like "ZUKO YOU LOVE ME RIGHT?😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺😩😩😩" and he's like "sure." and they're like "NO, YOU DON'T MEAN IT" and it's just him like 😑

gay zuko truthers they called us crazy but look at us now

[quijotine]

It makes me sad that we are clearly meant for the stars in the same way our hands were made to scratch, and hold, and care for every living thing, and yet every day the powers that rule us insist on straying from that purpose with the most undignifying, inconcievable evil they are capable of.

The Slow Release of the Epstein Files Is Psychological Conditioning . . . and It’s Working

The public is being shown just enough to know the truth, and to understand that nothing is going to happen.

Do Y’all remember the Pentagon Papers? When Daniel Ellsberg leaked them in 1971, the government panicked precisely because they all came out at once. The documents landed as a single, overwhelming moral event. They collapsed official narratives about Vietnam in one blow and ignited public outrage that couldn’t be staggered or softened. The lesson power learned from that moment was not “don’t lie,” but “never let the truth arrive whole again.” Since then, exposure has been redesigned to arrive in pieces that are manageable, deniable, and endlessly debatable. Do Y’all remember MKUltra? When details of the CIA’s human experimentation program began leaking in the 1970s, they didn’t surface as a single reckoning. They emerged through hearings, partial disclosures, missing files, and official shrugs. By the time the public understood the scale, which involved drugging civilians, experimenting on prisoners, and destroying records, the moment for accountability had already passed. The psychological effect was profound because people learned that even when the state admits to grotesque abuse, nothing necessarily follows. Remember Edward Snowden and the NSA surveillance revelations? This is one of the clearest modern parallels to the Epstein files debacle. At first, the disclosures were shocking. We saw mass data collection, warrantless surveillance, and the scope of the security state laid bare. But instead of a single, sustained confrontation, the information also arrived in waves. Each revelation triggered a brief spike of concern then followed by normalization. Over time, the public absorbed the idea that privacy was already gone and resistance was futile. Surveillance didn’t end. Folks simply adapted their expectations downward. The system didn’t change, but the public psyche did. You can also look at how the Catholic Church handled its abuse revelations. For decades, cases surfaced one diocese at a time, one report at a time, and one country at a time. The incremental exposure delayed full institutional reckoning and allowed the Church to posture as “addressing the issue” while continuing to protect itself. By the time the pattern was undeniable, many people were already exhausted, cynical, or resigned. Again, horror became procedural. What all these cases share is the same psychological outcome. When wrongdoing is revealed slowly, the public never experiences a unified moral demand moment. Instead, people are trained to live alongside the knowledge. To scroll past it. To argue about details. To accept that “this is just how it is” and nothing happens to powerful rich men.

hi i am at work, and completely umprompted, the voices went like, "hey, you know how Frieren is always reminiscing about Himmel? How she learns to see him in a new light and realize how much she appreciated him with every adventure she has with Fern and Stark, hence missing him even more? Yeah? Well. When Fern and Stark die, she'll have more people to miss :) "
