The quintessential politico: Rocky chomping on ethnic food, October 1, 1958. Running for his first term as governor, Nelson Rockefeller and Louis Lefkowitz, who was running for Attorney General, ventured down to Delancey Street and visited a deli. It was Rocky's first-ever trip to the Lower East Side. They ate corned beef sandwiches and Rocky also bought a five-pound salami for $3.

1 and 8!
1. what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?
Middle school choir, literally almost dying that one time, and getting deeply emotionally invested in the 2012 presidential election
8. Any reoccurring dreams?
I don’t usually remember my dreams but afaik it’s a different one each time! Lots of stuff that’s just like interpersonal interactions with my friends I guess 😂

my post series recommendation is that if you've never listened to the orchestral version of hero by faouzia while thinking about Wilhelm and Simon's utter trainwreck of a romance, you should. I think you should.
#shows#young royals#I have loved this show truly#and it can never not be political for me given where I grew up and my own convictions but I don't think the crew copped out of the politics#maybe it's a gentler version of the story than reality would allow but it's a wonderful example of#thoughtful naturalistic visual storytelling that is largely uninterested#in overexplaining or justifying it's narrative#while still remaining loyal to it's thematic baseline#I'd love to actually get around to some of that meta I vauged about post s2 on class and setting and possibly I will in May#when I have room for thoughts#because I do still want to make my points about how the personalisation of politics usually makes people blind to the systemic issue at han#which I think the show balanced pretty nicely#if you grew up or are growing up in a constitutional monarchy and you're not really engaged with your local republican movement#maybe now would be a good time to start thinking about it#a lot of people think 'well it's an archaic system so it should go' and leave it at that but the issues run so much deeper#than who the head of state is and this stuff is really worth considering if this is the political system the currently defines your future#anyway I'll put my praxis down for the time being#and just take a moment to appriciate this fantastic variation on the age old theme#isn't love really just a form of madness#like doesn't first love just kind of make you utterly lose your mind in a way that could conceivably bring empires to their knees#in all of it's single minded innocence and utter irrationality#cause yeah....yeah I remember that

remembered when me and my mom were ???? somewhere going to little shops and my mom stopped at some place to see if there was a bathroom and i waited in the car and then some old white guy with a bright red hat glared at me through the windshield (i was still wearing my mask but it was pulled down under my chin since i was in the car) and after staring at him for too long trying to see what his hat was even though it was obvious i finally saw "trump" on the front lawl.

my dream at this point is to live outside of the U.S, to never use an American dollar again, and to never pay a cent in American taxes again. the U.S treasury exists to subsidize the purchase of U.S weapons. any money spent on education or healthcare is an accident. and I want nothing to do with it.

There is someone (I’m assuming it’s the same person every time despite using different anon names) going through all my Shameless fics and leaving shitty (and weird) comments but from the content of these comments, they are reading the fic. Like…okay? You’re the one going through them all and reading them…

Mmm I see what you mean, but it's just that I see cis girl Kendall as having a very different relationship with Logan from canon Kendall, where she doesn't really need saving from her dad so much because he doesn't give a shit about her compared to Roman and Shiv. So her motivation would be more the ache coming from that lack, and I don't think she'd be able to convince herself that she's fine without his love or approval like Connor.
That said, she would still try to be outwardly rebellious and independent and that's probably what a lot of her relationship with Stewy would involve, but it just wouldn't work out because she needs to feel valued by her family and he isn't willing enough to play those games and let them take over his life. And yeah, I think she'd be put off by Tom being a suckup, kinda hating him for the same reason she's with him. It's just a push and pull of conflicting interests and emotions.
intresting.... i agree her relationship with stewy would be doomed because he isn't willing to play those games and would want her to tell her old man who doesn't even like her that much to fuck off, but still i feel like she simply wouldn't be attracted to someone like tom?? like, in my gut i feel like cis girl ken would have doomed relationships with headstrong men who come from their own money and don't need logan's approval because it's something she isn't familiar with and probably finds appealing in them. The downside is that those guys will eventually try to convince her to leave her abusive father behind fr both for her own sake and because they want to start a life with her but that quickly is the the beginning of the end in those relationships because ken isn't able to do that.
The thing is i personally feel like she would be miserable in a peter/caroline and tomshiv situation like, she would simply send tom packing like with jennifer in canon after tom meets logan for the first time.

Listen. As a Will Byers defender first and a human being second...I wasn't Mike's biggest fan in st3/4. But now that I know? Now that I see him?
All I'm saying is that I'm going to put him in my pocket and protect him from the world. I'm going to pay for his therapy. I'm going to pinch his cheeks and ruffle his hair and tell him he's good enough exactly the way he is, no performance necessary.

prev rb is very good but also very funny to me bc the last thing i sculpted was a . drag minion funko pop
#there was a secret santa event at work and my person was our lead who also at that time led the court in our area#or. i cant remember if they led the court or were just high ranking in it#w/e not important the point is he did drag and i was openly transitioning at work so he suctioned onto me like a limpet#because everyone working there was republican as fuck and before our class w 3 gays there was No One But Him#anyways. he was also a big disney adult so very big into minions and funko pops#so i was like. dude this is so easy ill just make him a custom minion funko dressed as katie#and i was RIGHT he went fuckin apeshit for that thing literally for like 3 days after people kept coming up to me being#like 'so justin was just showing off his secret santa gift did you really make that?'#really though i lucked the fuck out w that intersection of interests#like any funko fan would go ham for a custom one of themselves but to have an entire other persona that#dresses very distinctively and you are incredibly proud of? easy mode easy mode#and faithful tributes of ppls creative works will always hit hard so thats also easy mode#AND being able to integrate minions?? nah easiest dub of all time#oh but yeah i put the minion in the dress katie was wearing the first pride we hung out at#i even made a fake box for it and painted a label and everything#btw i made the box by cutting a window in one of my old t boxes for the irony KANDKSBDMS#n like to make the plastic window i think i used the packaging for something else
