I'm so *tired* of trying to follow bigots down their rabbit holes of nonsense to scream reason at them. Showing them the logical fallacies, the contradictions, the lack of evidence, the misinformation in big block letters. I'm so so so tired of approaching hatred as though it is just ignorance, as though if you can walk them through the logic, they'll deradicalize.
You're hurting people and that's bad.
That's it. That's the whole debate. Attacks on reproductive freedom, attacks on queer folks, profit first health care, 2nd amendment nuts,all if it.
You're hurting people. That's bad. You've come up with a thousand buzzwords and talking points and twisted little arguments to tell yourself that it's good, but it's not and that's it.
It doesn't matter how you define a woman or if the founding fathers would have supported AR15 ownership or if the primary purpose of sex is conception or whatever dumb little arguments get thrown around. People are being hurt and thats bad. That's the whole issue and I'm so tired.

Ghoul: *states idea for a cool AU*, but I'm not going to write it because I don't need another AU.
Also ghoul: *proceeds to talk about cool AU idea with everyone.*
Never change ghoul. Speaking of Band I played bass clarinet in school, which was given upon suggestion from my band teacher and quiet frankly he was right. I can imagine Music director!Price being that kind of teacher where he sees someone with talent who's maybe not as passionate as he'd like and recommending them instruments that they might not even know was an option and just the smirk on his face seeing them flourish with the more suitable choices. it would also kind of be adorable in a forbidden way if that's how he met his darling.
-hot mess rambler
*gritting my teeth* I'm not going to write it, I'm just going to talk about it a bunch
Absolutely Price is going to recommend new instruments to people. He wants his students to do well but more importantly he wants them to be happy and passionate about their music. I think he spends as much one-on-one time with people as he can, the sort of guy who always has busy office hours because so many people stop by just to talk to him.
Maybe he doesn't mentor everyone but he does pair up older members of the band with the newer ones, tries to make sure everyone has someone they can go to for advice when needed.
He- OOOOH *angry ghoul noises* You- OK
His darling is a grad student, he met them in one of his classes in undergrad and was incredibly responsible staying away, even though he very clearly wanted them. I think they also worked hard at staying away from the very charming band director because it seemed forbidden, and I imagine Price is the sort of professor everyone has a crush on, so it was very... "I don't have a chance with him." But coming back for grad school meant a second chance with Price and he is TAKING IT. You're not getting away this time.

Happy Wet Beast Wednesday and thank you @aroace-genderfluid-sheep, @cutestkilla and @wellbelesbian for the tags.
Speaking of beasts, I am still thinking about my Klaine Back-To-School fic. It's getting... somewhere. The fact that people liked A Sandy Situation, my Madison and More fic, helps, though. Because I was also struggling with the big romantic ending for that one and I felt kinda bad about it, but hey, people like it so maybe I am better than I give myself credit for.
I am also still trying out how to podfic. I claimed another fic for the Caught on Tape Fest that's around 500 words and I recorded it in one go. Then I listened back to it and re-recorded specific parts that I wanted to redo.
This was before I saw the tip in the Podfic thread on Discord about how you can just say a line several times in a recording and then cut out the bloopers in the editing process. That sounds easier, cause I have zero (0) experience editing audio. This is gonna be fun. This thread is a godsend. I now know how to pronounce Swithin!
(Also, while looking for a way to upload these files to my computer, I came across my audio for the Dalton Audiobook. I clicked on one, just for fun, and it started with me saying "Take 4 of Marcus simping over Michelle Wright" and... yeah.) (Me too, Marcus, if I weren't aroace.) (I didn't edit for that project, so that's why I still have no experience.)
Anyway, have different variants of me saying the word "Cute", because I am not sure which one I like the most:
This is about a sphynx cat, by the way, who are indeed cute! Some might disagree but I don't!!
I do really like recording, although I have to, like, teach myself to not cringe at myself when I listen back to it, but I am sure more people feel this. This one is kind of interesting, cause it features two characters that aren't as popular, so I never really had a voice for them in my head. I do have some attempt at a voice for Simon, Baz, Penny, Agga, Shep, Niamh, Niall and Dev, but hey! Anyway, that's where I am at. I need to stop myself from claiming another 500 words fic, though.
And now, the weather: @quizasvivamos @blurglesmurfklaine @coffeegleek @esperantoauthor @otherworldsivelivedin @caramelcoffeeaddict @sillyunicorn @bazzybelle @dragoneggos @raenestee @tectonicduck @nightimedreamersworld @urban-sith @thnxforknowingme @captain-aralias @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @justgleekout @cerriddwenluna @tea-brigade @ivelovedhimthroughworse @moodandmist @whogaveyoupermission @bookish-bogwitch @confused-bi-queer @ionlydrinkhotwater @1908jmd @special-bc-ur-part-of-it @larkral @chen-chen-chen-again-chen @artsyunderstudy @martsonmars @facewithoutheart @shrekgogurt @boyinjeans @rockitmans @bitbybitwrites @blackberrysummerblog @whatevertheweather
