THE ILLEST CHRISTIAN DEATH METAL RAPPER I EVER HEARD

With Election Day finally over with it was an absolute pleasure to speak with Marty Hillard of the legendary Ebony Tusks crew out of Lawrence, Kansas; from Los Angeles to the Midwest, it’s time for J.T. the L.A. Storyteller Podcast to branch out, and I could think of no better way to do so than with support from Hillard, a powerhouse of talent and authenticity. We discussed Hillard’s earliest…

rue is, i think, in love with the idea of love.

they set a wager. the lords of the wing will find true love in this romantic, ephemeral bloom, if they only seek it. they can win it, as though it’s a game.

they long to abolish the courts. their own court has never held any love for them - why would any other court be different? a court stifles, a court smothers, a court suffocates love. the courts must be abolished, so that love can bloom. true love, love that is unfettered by politics, or station, or duty.

they are the architect of the bloom. the hunt, the heart. the dance. the potions. they will pour love into a cup and the guests will drink their fill. fae from across the realms will fall in beautiful, perfect love at rue’s hand. 

they have become the arbiter of love. when an engagement between a cruel prince and a wild goblin is set, what else can they do but judge it unfit? it was not love, it was not true. 

they share a moment in a forest with a venerated captain. he is tall, as they are. he is clawed, as they are. he is a beast, as they are, and so beautiful for it. they fall fast, and hard, and heavy. and perhaps it is only the nature of queerness, of a life lived behind a mask, yearning for the faintest spark, that causes them to love so fast. 

or perhaps they did not truly fall in love with hob at all. for they did not see him. 

they fell in love with a reflection of themself.

except, of course, that hob is not a reflection of rue. hob is his own person, and like any real person, he cannot live up to an idea. and while rue is on a wonderful journey of revelation and self acceptance, it is baffling to them that someone else’s love does not always mirror their own.

rue, in an act of bravery and vulnerability and hope, removed their mask. and they long so very much to remove hob’s - but he has never worn a mask. he has always been exactly as he is - a soldier, devoted and dutiful. an outsider, used and abused by his court. rue’s true form was hidden by their court, while hob’s otherness has always been mercilessly exposed.

rue loves hob for the idea of who he could be, if he could simply unmask as they did. but hob needs, just as rue does, to be loved for who he is.

BREAKING: Brazil court votes to bar Bolsonaro from running for office

Brazil’s top elections court voted Friday to bar Jair Bolsonaro from running for office for eight years — a period that covers the next presidential election — for making what members of the panel said were claims he knew to be false about the integrity of the country’s voting systems.

As president, the “Trump of the Tropics” repeatedly asserted without evidence that the voting systems in Latin America’s largest country were vulnerable to fraud. With the vote of Judge Cármen Lúcia Friday afternoon, the seven-member Superior Electoral Court reached a majority to convict the right-wing populist of abuse of power for undermining faith in the country’s young democracy.

The ruling, if it survives a planned Supreme Court appeal, means Bolsonaro, 68, won’t be able to run for president until the 2030 election, when he’ll be 75. It’s the first time in the court’s 90-year history that it has applied the ban to a former president.

Bolsonaro, aides and allies anticipated the result.

Ontario Superior Court fined the Canada Bread Company $50 million on Wednesday after it pleaded guilty to price-fixing. It is the highest price-fixing fine in Canada ever, according to the Competition Bureau of Canada. Canada Bread pleaded guilty to four counts of price-fixing under the Competition Act, admitting that it arranged with Weston Foods, a competitor, to increase the prices of various bagged and sliced bread products. Those included sandwich bread, hot dog buns and rolls. The price-fixing resulted in two price increases — one in 2007 and one in 2011. The Competition Bureau previously alleged that Canada Bread and Weston Bakeries, which is owned by George Weston Ltd., the parent company of grocery chain Loblaw, had agreed to increase bread prices over a 14-year period. The two companies are the largest bread makers in Canada. [...]

tcw is so good at introducing us to characters and bite-sized stories that capture our attention and so, SO bad at following even a modicum of logic when it comes to the consequences of actions under military law

We all agree hob is shorter than rues true form right?

Ten/Martha + Bridgerton AU (inspo)

Dearest reader, The season has only just begun, and the ton is already abuzz over a most peculiar development. It appears Lady Martha Jones has captured the interest of the Duke of Lungbarrow. After several dances in ballrooms and discussions at dinner parties, noted by many a curious onlooker, there can be no doubt about it: the Duke is courting the young miss. The hopes of mamas everywhere may be crushed for a second time. It was a year ago, after all, that the Duke of Lungbarrow had become engaged to the Honorable Rose Tyler. Though we all remember how that match fared. Since then, the Duke has been adamant that he will never marry. Lady Martha Jones's fine features, however, have turned his head—and perhaps changed his intentions as well. This must be wonderful news for her mama, who has been particularly vocal about procuring a suitable match for her second daughter this season. But has the Duke finally come out of the sullens and committed himself to finding a wife? This author cannot say for certain. Rest assured, I will be keeping a close eye on the situation. Yours truly, Lady Whistledown

So, in Brazilian women and children's rights news, the Superior Court of Justice has not acknowledged rape in the case of a 20 year old man who impregnated a 12 year old girl.

By 3 votes to 2, the Fifth Panel of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) decided this Tuesday (12) that there was no crime of rape of vulnerable in the case of a man who had a relationship with a 12-year-old girl which resulted in a pregnancy.

The Penal Code establishes that any sexual relationship with minors under the age of 14 is classified as a crime, regardless of the victim's "consent" or sexual past.

The STJ itself has a consolidated understanding in this regard, but has accepted exceptionalities and ruled out crime when it understands that the measure would not benefit society.

Case rapporteur, Minister Reynaldo Soares da Fonseca voted against the conviction. The minister highlighted defending the rights of the child and said he considered values, citing that the man was a humble rural worker.

For the rapporteur, what the Early Childhood Statute establishes that the well-being of the child generated must prevail in this case, which must have priority. The minister also recalled that the man ended up in a stable union with the girl.

The two dissenting votes emphasized the girl's age, inability to consent to sexual acts, and lack of preparedness to carry a pregnancy, insisting further that the pregnancy is a second violence against her.
