More male characters who are interested in their mother’s legacy. As a trope there’s a lot of sons and daughters who follow in the father’s footsteps and there’s yes, girls who honor their mother, ect. But let’s have more dudes who are like. Stumbling on their mom’s secret fairy cottage or some shit. And they’re like aight gotta make the tea

in bujold’s vorkosigan saga, miles vorkosigan bombs out of the fancy lad planetside military academy because he’s too disabled to make the cut, so he sulks off to space and becomes captain naismith, leader of a mercenary fleet, using his mom’s name and nationality and legacy of having been a kickass expeditionary space captain. he starts out wanting to honor his dad’s side of the family but the more the series goes on the more he learns to respect his mother’s incredible accomplishments. it’s really fucking cool.

The anti-remote propaganda is driven by companies mad that their remote employees are happier, making the other in-person employees question why they too shouldn’t have good options and good mental health, too.

If you’re waiting for public officials to tell you that covid is in fact still here and that you should in fact still be masking & regularly getting tested, it would already be too late by then. I need more people to let it sink in that the US government’s first and (probably only) priority is the economy, as opposed to being honest about covid.

Rich people and government officials like the PotUS are still making it mandatory to mask when interacting with them.

Rich people and government officials like the PotUS get PCR tested and make it mandatory for everyone to do the same before interacting with them.

Rich people and government officials like the PotUS are making it mandatory to make sure everywhere they go has filtered, clean air.

They are protecting themselves and still taking precautions during this on-going pandemic while lying to our faces that the pandemic is over. They may be maskless on camera, but they’re sure as fuck rushing to get tested after the fact.

If you’re waiting for these people to be honest with you about covid & to tell you how to protect yourself, it would already be too late by then.

I want the writer’s strike to last until they get everything they demand and more. I want the SAG strike to last until AI is entirely forbidden across the board in the entire industry. I want CGI artists to unionize and strike. I want animators to strike. I want composers and directors and designers and VAs and techies and producers and stage hands and game devs and programmers and recording artists to strike.

I want every aspect of the entertainment industry brought to a grinding halt for months or even years to take it from the corps and put it back in the hands of the artists.

the funniest part about creating this Image is that I actually cannot tell which of them is the weird guy. the whole show is just them thinking this about each other.

yank poll incoming

The word Yank (when referring to a person) means…

A person from anywhere in the USA

A person from anywhere in North America

A person from specifically New York

A person from a specific place in the US that isn’t New York

Something else!

Bonus points if you reblog and tag where you’re from and your answer. thank you kisskiss

People from the UK specifically who are confidently saying that it’s all Americans? I’m going to start calling all of you “English”, except for the English, who I will now confidently call “Welsh”.

(People from Japan who are confidently saying that it’s all Americans are 100% in the clear, but I will warn you that yankii subculture has sorely mislead you about the coolness of America as a whole, sorry to disappoint)
