"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]
okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.
The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?
Yeah, fucking absolutely.
But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.
You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.
Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]
Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]
There are options.
There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.
#have you looked at what's happening in New York & the subways#There's so many reported shootings and deaths and it just seems to be getting worse.#I just looked up subway shooting ny because I wanted to check before saying something#There's reports from like 3 hours ago about someone getting pushed in front of one of the moving subways & there's so many others#or how about the like thousands of police officers that they've got stationed at subways in ny literally doing fuck all#or how everyone's going through a housing crisis and cant afford rent and cant get medical care because it can cost#$4000 to get a fucking ambulance and that's cheap. That's a ride to the hospital less than 20 minutes away probably.#or the rise in hate crimes and bigotry and all the shit they're now trying to censor with the kosa bill#or how terrifying places like Florida have became for anyone thats not seen as an equel by people who dont view most others as equels.#or how they're pouring billions into wars while we're in the midsts of a homeless crisis#suicide rates are at record levels in the us and it's only going to get worse. theyre pulling telehealth which will take away#life saving medical care for people who dont have the ability to go in person. people's ability to get therapy and meds being taken away#Is going to kill people. or how the Biden administration has fucked up their Covid response so goddamn badly#people are referring to the pandemic in past tense and have lost understanding for others who they'd have understood before#they've lied and they've concealed and its killing millions of people and disabling even more. but they will not take accountability.#long covid is ruining people's lives and they've successfully led the narrative that its not real or not that serious.#they will sit there and they will lie. they will say they've protected women's rights and that its a top priority.#they'll say that healthcare is a top priority but have suggested that they'd veto a healthcare for all bill because of its price tag#but will spend billions and billions and billions on a genocide that the majority is against. the system isn't going to begin collapsing#it already is.#its crumbled and we must demolish the corrupt remains and rebuild a better government that gives a shit about people#ALL people.#they use basic human rights as bargaining chips.#the Democrats and Republicans on a Venn diagram is a circle. wake up.

Between
2x08 S: "As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend, I don't mind what it is! I just want to be there for 'em when they need me. Because at the end of the day, helping my friends is more important than anything in the world!"
3x03 Mei: "So wait, how did you get your gold vision back again?" MK: "I don't know! The same way I got them in the first place I guess. Every time I learned a new ability, it was because there was something I NEEDED to do, when there was no other way. Against the gold fish guy I NEEDED to do something to save my friends!" P: "Yeah, friends that YOU put in danger on purpose!"
3x10 MK: "NO! Mei is my best friend, I’d never abandon her when she needs me. We’re heroes! It’s what we do!",
3x14 MK: "A perfect world is what you make it. So as long as I have my friends by my side...this world! Is! Perfect!”
4x01 MK: "Honestly? I’m kinda liking the world as it is, right now. So...if it could just stay like this, forever? That would be awesome." SWK: "Yeah well...forever’s a long time bud...trust me."
4x02 AL: "It’s too late to save them! We can’t risk unleashing the curse into the world." MK: “You don’t know! We’d risk it for sure! I won’t abandon them when they need us."
4x07 IMK: "You can see it, can't you? This is your fate. Your friends will turn on you, seeing you for the monster you will become. They will destroy you, harbinger of chaos."
4x11 MK: "We have to try, he'd do the same—for any of us." and
4x14 YT: "I know full well what would happen should Azure fail. But- but he is my brother. I owe him my life." S: "We get it! I'd do anything to help my friends. But at the cost of the world?" P: "I'm sorry pal, but NOTHING worth that price!"
I'm like, really worried scoob.

It's gonna be 39C (102.2f) and we don't have an aircon fuckkk I hate Australian summers. Especially since, at least here, it's humid af as well.
#personal#vent#it's 29C today and I'm barely able to function im gonna die tomorrow#plan is to wake up at the asscrack of dawn and go somewhere that does have aircon all day#we can't even fix it ourselves because it's not our house and we don't have permission to like come on#like the mall or something#or the supermarket#just turning around in the frozen food department like a rotisserie chicken to be cooled down instead of heated#There's some places i can sit down and vibe that have at least some aircon#better than none#also fuck our real estate for refusing to fix stuff because it costs them money and they want to “”wait“” to be able to pay it#it's fucking summer and we're quite literally toast while they want to save more for christmas#like bruh#y'all are already rich as fuck at least pay off the investment of SHELTER YOU PROVIDE FOR VERY HIGH PRICES#when honestly shelter should be free but damn gotta buy that extra fucking ham or toy train set lest it spoil christmas#like damn imagine having a low key Christmas to save money while actually paying your bills it's almost like thats always us and for what#so y'all can complain you have it hard that we pay for your shit then act surprised you gotta maintain the thing we pay for??#asshats probably don't even look at their electricity bill and ration the damn aircon and fans as if using too much means losing them ffs#anyway fuck the rich and this system that is centred around making basic shelter a commodity#rent is such a fucking scam and buying is like owning a black hole to throw your living expenses into if you dare to own your own shelter#housing should be free and this cabalistic capitalist system is a fucking nightmare#anyway back to the og point lol#it's fucking hot and i want winter back#Australian winters are so mild and great its like spring in other countries i think#spring here is also a nightmare of rain heatwaves and cold fighting in a parking lot so it's not nice here#but winter??#nice and cool and mild#wish it was always less than 23C all the time that'd be amazing#i don't remember what that is in fahrenheit but yeah

grrrr i hate having so many cool Ideas and lacking the technical skills to bring them to life i wanna draw my cool ocs in their cool horror-fantasy world
#do i make a post rambling about these 2 ocs im making in my brain rn#i might just use these tags actually fuck it#so post-apo fantaasy world where the entire ecosystem was burned down to a point where it could no longer support any plant life#so instead of lichens and shrubs and trees coming in to establish themselves in the aftermath the primary successors are parasitic fungi#that release their spores into the air and rapidly take over any living thing they can touch#so then all the pplant life that grew in were things that could adapt a symbiotic relationship with it#im thinking like. all these giant trees that host the fungus in order to respirate vis a vis coral + coral polyps#do you feel me do you see what im going for aesthetically here#so nayway in the immediate aftermath of the big apocalypse event the surface was completely inhospitable#if you somehow survived the extreme temperatures and unfiltered radiation you would die from coming into contact with the spores#so the royals and nobles used all the magic they had at their disposal to take their kingdoms out of the earth and suspend them in the sky#yes i have zelda brainrot rn tthanks for noticing. anyway#magic in this world isnt Tameable its treated as a wild living force/elemtent and always has a cost of some kind#we're operating on fae rules ok humans learned magic from the trickster nature spirits that exist in complete harmony with it#but because theyre trickster nature spirits interacting with them was outlawed#those who had learned were sworn to their kings and magic became strictly reserved for those rich enough to afford tutelage from them#if you were caught using ''untamed'' magic you either swore yourself to the king or you were imprisoned or killed depending on age/status#anyway all the royals and nobles are in their little sky kingdoms with magic barriers to block the radiation#and everyone else who didnt die burrowed underground and created massive underground cities that eventually built back out#so fast forward like a century or so#the ecosystem has adapted and the atmosphere was somewhat repaired by the efforts of the royal magic users#(the kingdoms use this as a way to claim authority/ownership over the entire surface)#so now the surface is somewhat more hospitable with the right precautions#so ok the ocs. an artificer/healer who payed the price to make it to the surface and learn from the fae#he learned magic to combine it with the mechanical knowledge he got from his inventor parents and use it to help people adapt#at the cost of never being truly known or loved by another person#so no one including his parents can really remember him beyond passive recognition#except for this secret society of other people who paid the same price for magic. AND for his childhood best friend#check notes if for somereason u wanna know more tumblr is a bitch and wont let me add all my tags

I don't think soulmate aus work for ships that have themes like changing fate/choosing your own path and so I don't think it's super effectual for shadowgast but also I keep thinking about it because. because I like soulmate aus I think they're Neat..
#I don't think much would change is the thing. like if we're working under the 'soulmates name written on your wrist' au for example#I think if caleb introduced himself to essek after the beacon thing then essek wouldn't even blink bc he's having a HELL of a day already#and caleb is famously very good at not talking abt things important to him and he's also had a hell of a day#so. they carry on like they did canonically except. they see the other as connected to themselves in a way they didn't canonically#which I mean. like. they see the other as similar and therefore as a threat. lol#I keep thinking about the layers of ikithon working with essek. bc ikithon would know. is the thing#I think caleb would discover essek being the traitor earlier on. would he do anything about it is the thing#just. the ongoing unspoken knowledge of that and also the canyon of understanding/distrust between them#my point is. truly. I'm not a huge fan of soulmate aus that end on them finding out and living happily ever after#I like ones where they have to decide what it's gonna mean to them#the universe has decided that in some way. ure bound to someone. what are u gonna do about it#essek is like of course this caleb widogast showed up with the beacon I stole of course that's a twist of fate I've been given#and caleb is like oh yes of course essek thelyss is an unchecked and powerful mage who wants knowledge at any cost. of course#of course essek conspired with the man who ruined caleb of course they have to navigate THAT#it's Compelling. essek CAN change fate in a way and he passed those spells on to caleb.#thinking abt them working on that with the knowledge that they're bound together. they wouldn't talk about it until at LEAST eiselcross
