#“treating it like gold”
Text
if any americans who see this care about the election beyond "vote blue no matter who", CNN and other news sites have lists of the dates of primaries (smaller elections that the big parties use to determine who they're gonna have run for the big election) and other election related stuff up so if you don't like genocidin' biden maybe vote for a different democrat in the primaries and then we won't have to vote for biden to avoid 100000 year nightmare terror republican ultramegadictatorship
CNN: https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/calendar
NBC: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-primary-elections/calendar
270 to win:https://www.270towin.com/2024-presidential-election-calendar/
(270 to win is a presidential election based thing if u haven't heard of them)
Im sure ill get the usual reading comprehensionless tumblr user claiming this will split the blue vote and cause that red wave that didn't happen in 2022 to manifest but no it wouldn't. the democratic catchphrase is "vote blue no matter who" so who cares if it isn't genocidin' biden? it's "no matter who" right?
realistically the new president will keep sending weapons to isreal but maybe if biden loses the primaries cause of doing so they'll send slightly fewer guns? probably wishful thinking but still
#i made this post cause i saw a different post#about the election#that encouraged hiding queer media and#“treating it like gold”#but didn't touch on defending actual queer people#and just said “queer people don't worry about this you'll be in prison anyway”#i know this site obsesses over media so i shouldn't be too suprised#but still#good to know if i die in a concentration camp#my usb stick with every episode of the owl house on it will live on#the audio on episode 10 isn't synced up with the visuals and idk what to do about that#also the bodyswap episode is in there#maybe i deserve the concentration camp#another point:#i've seen posts claiming that americans have a special responsibility in their elections#because the outcome affects so many other countries#because of how ingrained america is in global politics#and if you believe that#then americans should be more involved in their elections#and at least knowing stuff about them beyond “vote blue no matter who” and the date of the big daddy election should be bare minimum#idk end of tags rant time to add actual tags#2024 elections#2024 presidential race#2024 presidential election#american elections#america#united states#cw: america#i dont know of any other election related tags add them if you feel like it

Thalia's color is ultramarine, Jason's color is cyan, Percy's is teal, Bianca's is green, Nico's is olive, and Hazel's is gold.
The big 3 kids make a color gradient in order (Zeus [sky] > Poseidon [ocean] > Hades [underground]) hope this helps
#pjo#riordanverse#thalia grace#jason grace#percy jackson#bianca di angelo#nico di angelo#hazel levesque#''but Nico is purple'' that'd ruin the color scheme/pattern though also Rick is wrong#they're all cool tones and Nico specifically is especially not a warm tone#if anyone's purple it's Jason or Hazel cause theyre roman so they get the shirts as accent colors#and Hazel is warm-tones anyways so she could be purple if she wanted to be but she's gold#all of Nico's warm tones are desaturated browns and tans#which does not work easily with the purple. you'd have to make it pretty magenta/red and at that point it's not worth it#he can have some maroons/burgundy as a treat but that's about it#plus he's mostly underground - trying to make purples work with both grey/blue (stone) *and* brown (dirt)? plus skeletons (grey/yellow)?#you're not gonna have a good time unless you tweak a lot like heavily towards green or something. just make Nico's color green#anyways hi i heavily associate characters with colors frequently

The way Azirphale is underestimated and practically infantalized by heaven is so closely tied to his femininity and I think we should talk about it more because I just want to shout about how relatable the way he's treated in his workplace is as a woman working in a traditionally male field
It's in all the little niggling comments from your boss about personal things that hold no bearing on your work
and the assumption that what you're doing must be simple if it was assigned to you
your work is trivialized
and you get these the placating smiles when you're told plans and proposals are rejected and passed over
or when your complaints are dismissed
and you get more of the same from upper management
it all feels so frustrating and draining but you're at work so all you can do is take a breathe put on that mask and move on with your day
It is all so deteimental to your emotional well being and textually, so much of this is tied to Aziraphale's softness, his gayness - his femininity
The thing about working in an environment and gives you this feeling - of being simultaneously destrought watching your belief in yourself get chipped away but also just so irate becuase you know you don't deserve it - is how it builds. It sinks under your skin and feeds into this indignant dejection until you can have a moment of release - but Azirphale doesn't get to bitch about it over drinks with friends, he doesn't get a lunch break where he can go for a walk and listen to an angry scandi death metal playlist, he doesn't even get the chance to cry about it in the bathroom for 5 minutes before confronting it again
(And I talked a little bit about it in the tags of this beautiful photoset but this all comes into play whenever Crowley dismisses his plans or calls him an idiot. These are purely emotional reactions; I really don't think Crowley means much by it - he respects Aziraphale's opinion and genuinely thinks he's brilliant - but Crowley is so quick to use this terminology when Aziraphale is making a decision Crowley thinks is wrong and he doesn't know how much this hurts Aziraphale. Just like Aziraphale doesn't understand the true impact the Fall had on Crowley, Crowley doesn't understand the ways heaven has been tearing away at Aziraphale's self worth)
Aziraphale has been facing this constant drip of denigration since before the beginning of time and has never released the pressure valve. At this point, he's a bomb waiting to go off
#(I want to note that I am coming at this from my personal experience as a woman#but I know femme neurodivergent and disabled folks of all genders face these same issues)#along similar lines I have tons of feelings about how often Aziraphale hides his hands when talking to other angels#to hide his stimming#and look I try not to tie everything back to explaning why Aziraphale ended s2 the way he did but apparently I can't#its just the juiciest character moment to me#also thinking about how angry Crowley was at Gabriel when he was treated like this once#granted shut up and die already IS the worst thing Gabriel has said to Aziraphale but if Crowley knew how much of this was going on...#aziraphale#good omens#go2 spoilers#good omens meta#Thanks to folks who responded to my tags on that post because you really motivated me to find these screen caps#and finish this post which has been sitting in my drafts for ages#also sorry so many of gabriels faces are funny I cant help that jon hamm is comedy gold - i refuse to let it undermine my point

I've come to the conclusion that being assigned the fandom-mandated "sunshine character" is the worst possible fate a character could face
#maybe I'm just biased because the characters that this happens to tend to be some of my favorites but I think I'm onto something#these characters aren't allowed depth of emotion or complex inner worlds. once a character is fanonized as the 'ray of sunsine'#or the 'cinnamon roll' they cease to occupy any space outside of that role in fanon content. they're happy & silly & not much else#no matter how much depth they may actually have in canon.#popular fanon has a tendency to treat happiness & goodness like states without any emotional complexity.#emotional complexity is reserved for the anti-heroes & jerks-with-a-heart-of-gold you see.#atp 'X is a ray of sunshine' has begone to feel like code for 'I don't actually care about this character very much nor do I understand#their canon narrative so I'm just gonna ignore them 98% of the time. but hey they're really nice! that's something! anyways—'#this is about many characters but I particularly want to call out aang & nightcrawler / kurt wagner as two who get this the worst.#because christ the mischaracterization they get from people who never think about them outside of the 'uwu small bean' box is infuriating#also steven universe & miles morales. although it's not so bad for steven after suf#fandom bs#please pretend I typed 'begun' a few tags back

#terribly sorry about her hair blending into the background in the lookbook pics by the way. i've never taken screenshots in live mode before#anyway. got bored so i tried my hand at an alchemy sage#i actually tried keeping her at roughly the same level of extravagance as the other three sages' official designs so she could#somewhat reasonably stand next to them. otherwise i would've made her far more elaborate what with being a sage and all#that being said i am very proud of how she turned out in the end though#the sims 4#ts4#ts4 simblr#simblr#ts4 spellcaster#spellcaster#ts4 sage#realm of magic sage#ts4 lookbook#lookbook#sim: aurelia aquareine#snag's sim tag#...as a bonus treat for reading the tags this far i'll let you in on a secret#aurelia's first name means 'the golden one' referencing gold's alchemical significance and perfection#whereas her last name aquareine is the name of a character from the wizard of oz novels (like how L. faba's name is a reference to elphaba)#AND is a reference to the name of the aqua regia chemical solution as well

“ten is a bad person” you never even tried to understand him
#hes so complex#i will never shut up about him actually#hes watched everyone around him perish and then he had to let the love of his life leave#everyone he loves he has to leave them#and if you watch his seasons after rose#you can see his decline#how he has so much on his shoulders#and honestly him and jason grace have so much in common (me when im multifandom)#his last words being ‘i dont want to go’#because in the end he was still doing everything for everyone else#the weight of the world rests on his shoulders#and yeah he should have treated martha better#but he never said he liked her like that#he didnt play her she just was in love with a man who couldnt love her back#thats why his and donnas relationship is fucking gold#because finally he doesnt have to worry about losing someone that loves him like that#finally he doesn’t have to worry about losing someone who he loves like that#losing donna (at first anyway) hurt because she was safe she was comfortable#tenth doctor#doctor who

i think the most annoying part of dog food discourse is how many people will act as though proplan/hill’s/Royal canin diets aren’t extremely and prohibitively expensive and that THAT is the reason so many people look into healthy alternatives.
People complain about corn being in the first five ingredients on most of those feeds because, regardless of other factors here, that is not an expensive ingredient. But it makes up a large chunk of the dry food. So the dry food should be fairly affordable, right?
Oh… with tax you’re spending about $100 for one 45lb bag of food where the third ingredient is wheat and the fourth and fifth ingredients are corn.
Oh… well! It’s slightly cheaper! But the second ingredient is rice, third is wheat, fourth is corn, and then fifth is poultry byproduct. None of those are very expensive so this just must be the low end cost of dog food unfortunately. The vets recommend it so surely that means prices aren’t inflated, right?
Oh? This one has similar ingredients with the only real difference being no corn? And it’s half the price?? Well surely that’s just a fluke.
Oh. Oh no.
This one even has CORN in it and it’s $20 cheaper?? Wow!
Like listen at some point I don’t care if your dog food has the ichor of the gods in it, I’m not spending $100 every five days if there are cheaper options with just as many “good” ingredients in it. If you think I’m a dog abuser because I can’t afford this overpriced garbage, that’s too bad. I don’t care. My dogs are perfectly healthy with the food I give them. Great weight and great coat. People giving dog food recommendations that aren’t those top three hyper-expensive dog foods aren’t trying to epic own those dastardly vets half the time, but I really don’t blame the ones who do lose trust in vets when the only heartworm protection they recommend lately are expensive triple-action brands like Simparica Trio that costs $120+ as opposed to the other heartworm protections that are only about $40-$60 on average, which is still cheaper even if you add on a $20-$40 flea and tick protection separately, and only recommend dog food that costs $85+ a bag even if your dog doesn’t have specialized dietary needs.
Those top three foods are GREAT at making competent prescription diets, I don’t deny that. I do still have to criticize the pricing of those prescription diets though because I have spoken to DOZENS of people who had to pull their pets off of a prescription diet and struggle to find something comparable because they couldn’t afford the food, and that’s terrible! These are not poor companies! Purina, Royal Canin, and Hill’s can ABSOLUTELY afford to lower their prices to make their food accessible to people who need it for their animals but they don’t. They probably never will. Because at the core they are run by greedy corporations. It doesn’t matter how many good nutritionists are on board if the company is run by people who put profits over customers and make the food impossible for people to afford.
#I keep seeing posts from people on both sides of this#and it is frustrating to see how many vets don’t seem to acknowledge#that a MASSIVE part of the dog food debate has and always will be#the inaccessibility of these three brands#because whether corn is good or bad or neutral for a dog#It’s a cheap ingredient#any meat byproducts are a cheap ingredient#wheat in any form is a cheap ingredient#rice is a cheap ingredient#they aren’t putting Diamond dust and gold flakes in the kibble it’s very accessible and affordable ingredients for the most part#and many comparatively smaller companies use very similar ingredients and make food people can actually afford#So yeah when people look at these factors it does make them distrust vets who will almost exclusively push expensive brands#and that’s where the distrust is coming from#it’s not primarily smug tiktok kids who think they know everything#it’s just people who have less money than you and get treated like they care less for their animals because of it lol#and people who feel scammed because anything veterinary is already expensive to the point not everyone can afford it as regularly as needed#the fact people have to give pets vaccines themselves to make ends meet because most vets charge so much just to walk in the door#is a sign of a larger problem#I criticize people who avoid taking animals with surprise sickness or injuries to the vet#but it’s not exactly hard to see why that isn’t even an option for a lot of people#people can’t even afford surgery on themselves if they’re suddenly injured out of the blue in this country#So I can’t pretend to be shocked they don’t have $10k squirreled away if something unavoidable happens to a pet#no one is entitled to an animal they can’t afford yes yes but a routine vet visit shouldn’t be $600-$1000 per animal sorry#give me a copay or something

I wish it were more common for people to accept that trans people are often going to have very complex relationships with a lot of things - sexuality, gender, presentation, even growing up.
I'm just really disheartened when I see people expecting trans people to neatly fit into boxes that ridgedly force us to conform. I'm really disheartened with the idea that in order to "really" be a true man, woman, or person, you have to have the right experiences rather than authentic ones. And oftentimes, the "right" experiences for us to have are whatever make cis people (or even other trans people) the most comfortable. It's never truly about the individual's experiences or comfort.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#it just reminds me of this post i saw where this trans woman joked that she will always see her relationships with men as gay because...#...of her complex interaction with society and i really felt that#and it makes sense why she feels that way. why does she need to have conforming experiences to be respected and treated as the woman she is#why does conforming matter more than the trans person? why does being 'correct' and inoffensive to cishet sensitivities the gold standard?#because you don't ever have to understand *why* a trans person feels the way they do. but don't be transphobic or an ass about it#and certainly don't use it as a weapon to try and 'prove' that that trans person cannot know who they are#like i say... trans people don't have to be cis people in order to be recognized as their gender#as in trans and cis people of the same gender can have different experiences WITHOUT it meaning the trans person is 'wrong' about themself#sometimes trans and cis people will have different outlooks and opinions and experiences and that is OK#like... cisness isn't what makes manhood or womanhood or hell just personhood in general

I - don’t think the actors/writers strike is about money.
Hear me out.
It’s about money to the actors/writers. And it will be decided by money. But the money isn’t the reason the entertainment companies are going so hard about this and being so tyrannical and mustache twirling. As has been pointed out on multiple fronts, what the actors and writers are asking for isn’t really going to put that much of a dent in what the entertainment companies have been making.
This is about control.
It’s about control of how the future of the entertainment field will go but even more than that?
I think this is about a very small group of people being determined to keep control of a vast amount of people. I think this is about that small group of people realizing that if they give in to the demands of the workers, the workers will have taken the control of how the entertainment industry is going to work from that point on away from them. That small group of people will no longer have a dictatorship position of unchallenged power, able to do whatever they want to whoever they want without consequences. These are tyrants of companies instead of countries but the core basics in just about every aspect is the same including in some cases the amount of people they have dominion over. If the CEOs agree to give in to the demands of the workers, they will have lost their power over them and over the future of how entertainment is run. And I think that’s why this is such a huge deal to them and why they’re being so completely intractable and slamming down every attempt to get them to bend even the smallest amount. It’s why they’re so vocal about their intentions of crushing this rebellion against their lordship completely. This isn’t about appeasing the stockholders. This is about maintaining control so that they can continue to rule like the despots they think they are.
But like I said, I think money will decide this. Because the shareholders aren’t interested in ruling over the peons. They’re interested in making money. And, at the end of the day, the tyrants may be able to convince them in the short term that refusing is in their best interest but once the companies start losing money - or even looking like they’re going to start losing money - the shareholders will force the CEOs to capitulate. And the CEOs, who like to think they’re untouchable, will have to either do what their masters say or be replaced with someone that will. So the CEOs are on a time limit, and they know it. They need to break the unions before the shareholders stop trusting them and start worrying about the companies bleeding money. If the unions can hold out until the companies start losing money and the shareholders decide that’s not acceptable, the CEOs will have to surrender. But right now, the CEOs are counting on breaking them before that and they’re doing it, not for the money, but for the control.
I’m not in the entertainment industry. I sure as heck don’t know any CEOs personally. I’m just spitballing here. But the creatives are asking for so little I just can’t find any other reason that the entertainment industries are being so openly brutal and not even trying to hide their villain level approach in such a public venue instead of just quietly negotiating and giving into most of the very reasonable demands that wouldn’t even put that much of a dent in the end profit. So it can’t be about money.
It’s the control of the future of the entertainment industry and how its going to run.
#wga/sag strike#just thinking outloud#I think this is a tipping point#and it can either change things for the good#or it can condemn future attempts completely if the strikers fail#this is the battle in front of the gates of Mordor#the last toss of the dice#no matter who wins#it changes the future of entertainment for years if not generations#not saying if the strikers win it will all be bowls of gold and rainbows#but I think it will alter the landscape of the future and make treating your creatives like humans the standard instead of the outlier
