Anyone have advice on how to thank entities for watching out for you? We have some whiskey and a candle sitting out for thanks but I honestly just want to go above and beyond for any deity that is helping us out right now.

You know half of what I had to read on the news today? In comments of articles and from thinly veiled racist reporters? That a man who did the same damn thing as killers who get treated with sympathy by the same people. The only difference? This man spoke spanish like my father and my grandfather. This man was Puerto Rican,like my father and my grandfather. You know the words I had to read again and again today? The slurs? The words of how we should make it illegal for Puerto Ricans to serve in our military. How we should just be culled and replaced by white settlers. How our culture is the same as Mexico's, and that we like them should stay to "our own country". That man doesn't have darker skin than my father or my grandfather. Many Boricua can trace roots back generations and generations, all to Puerto rico. We are American. We are not African, not all of us are afrolatinx and those who are not still experience the same racism as other POC. We're not less POC because within the states we've largely assimilated. We're not less POC because our cultures have been ruled by other, whiter nations. Just because many of us are mixed doesn't mean were not cultures of color, it means were a series of cultures traditionally forgotten about, traditionally swept under the rug, taken advantage of, our blood mixed with the colonizers who destroyed many of our native lands, languages, religions, our blood often times historically, intentionally diluted. We are not less of a series of cultures of color for our mixing, our mingling, for paler skin. And while afro-latinx people are important, their representation and support just as much so, we are cultures outside of African heritage as well. And we are rich outside of it. To only speak of afro-latinx people you ignore the racism that is directly aimed at latinx people. You ignore our independence as cultures of color. You contribute to a micro aggression, to racism. so fucking stop.
Not only that but when Bethesda releases a game, half the (massive) hype about it seems to be about all the new entertaining bugs you can find. People find entertainment in broken or unconventional things in their media as long as they're not hugely frustrating broken or unconventional things.
We usually take a week or two to get all our goals for the year/resolutions sorted out after new years but I think this year it's going to be two big things 1. Try to be happy and healthy: don't shackle ourselves to stagnation if we can help it, be creative, be expressive, try our best and recognize our own limits, live without looking over our shoulder. 2. Increase random acts of kindness, bring back the sense of friendliness and helpfulness and care we used to have for everyone. Be more friendly. Be more present for friends. Do good and selfless acts and small karmic things more often. Be a kinder, more giving person. Also work on the resting bitch face.
Me, drinking champagne and smoking a cigarette at one in the afternoon: Is dual wielding handguns even possible outside of fiction? Furthermore, what is the purpose of fiction that imitates reality perfectly? Is there merit to fantasy that pays religious homage to fact? Is there room for it? What is the purpose of fiction if not to escape? What is the purpose of fiction?
Oh my god I used to have a male officer Jenny OC please kill me I want to re-draw him.
I'm really glad that Chon is out though, he's actually got a decent proactive streak and can be really soft and gentle even if he doesn't know how to help people. He also doesn't panic response at all so like all our stress about getting all our moving stuff done and getting a job and stuff is rolling right off him. Thanks weird outlaw man.
I really wanted to do art today but we're so tired and we hurt so much...
