#more negativity

Actors don't need to agree or like a ship but I wish they would think about how their words can be used to attack shippers. I just wanna ship my ship in peace.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow I tell my mother it's either her boyfriend or me and outline why I don't feel comfortable around him. Boy I'm anxious.

we need something for tom to do cause we want him here so his characters say and do what the fuck ever and every character has to roll with it

This is the truth, Sha. I appreciate many things about Tom, but HR is basically ‘we have no plot or reason for you, Tom, so just go nuts for ten minutes of screen time an episode’, which is a disaster. And trying to legitimize him with things like this museum? 

It would be SO MUCH EASIER to just bring Harry back. They can say Jesse had to stay behind and guard her own city on her own earth if they don’t want to have three Flashes around. Give Harry some science-speak ‘project’ he needs to be on Earth One to do, that’s all the explanation you need. I mean I hated Harry at various points last season, but compared to HR? I miss Harry so much. 

And it’s weird, but Harry and Cisco’s relationship was a big deal for a lot of people, even getting write-ups in reviews and TV Guide and things like that. But it’s like the writers have completely misconstrued why people liked it. ‘Oh, we just need Tom and Carlos to argue and people are on board!’ So they give us this.

Whew. Sorry to vent.

A NEW report from the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) shows that public opinion on ...

...on immigration is more negative in disadvantaged areas. The study is based on a survey of over 1,200 people in 2023 along with data from the 2022 Census. Researchers suggest that fears about pressure on national services and crime are driving sentiment on the issue. Despite public concerns, the ESRI found no direct link between local shortages in healthcare, housing, or education and negative views toward immigration. Using indicators like the number of general practitioners per household and housing affordability, the study concluded that attitudes are influenced more by perception than by local experience. Geography also plays a role. People living in rural areas tend to have more negative attitudes toward immigration than those in urban centres. However, rural communities with higher proportions of migrants expressed similar attitudes to urban areas, pointing to the impact of everyday social contact in shaping views.

... You know what really sucks?

Me and my Mom had just gone in for an interview earlier today... We both thought it sounded really good, and we both felt like the Interview went over O.K. We both came back home feeling really good afterward! But... It didn’t really take very long for the reality to sink in.

We’re still gonna have to play the waiting game...

Like, the place we had the interview at -- I won’t go into too much details. All I’ll say is that it’s... It’s a Franchise. They just opened up shop in the area(Ironically, they said they had just opened up a week before Hurricane Irma). So it’s... Relatively new, and they don’t really have that many people working there at the moment -- about seven people, actually. So they don’t have very many people, and they’re hoping to try and get more business.

... I don’t know... It went over well (or at least, I thought it did). But we’re still going to have to wait and... Hope.

And honestly? I’m tired of waiting. And I’m honestly getting low on hope.

I just want something for me and my Mom where we’re in a job we enjoy -- a job that can support us both.

... That’s all I want for Christmas.
