Local woman CANNOT sing, thinks she can and does so anyways

honestly a main draw of Ally McBeal for me is the characters and their relationships w/ each other

ever since the second season kiss (in my humble opinion) the show leaned away from Georgia as a focus and just mostly showed her and Ally antagonizing each other

this was a nice bit of levity though. I love women

#also why is billy cringing? if that was my wife i’d be cheering her on #she’s such a dork i love her #be your own biggest fan #georgia thomas #ally mcbeal #i should probably watch more of season 1 if i want more georgia content #oh yeah ummm texas confession #i havent really seen season 1 of ally #reason being that lucy liu and portia de rossi do not come in until the 2nd season #but i should probably get on that if i claim to be as big of a fan as i am lmao #i feel like she’s going to be a vastly different character #and she has long hair!! no more karen haircut #anyways #i love these characters

U.S. solar companies, imperiled by price collapse, demand protection. (Washington Post)

Several of the largest American solar manufacturing companies are demanding aggressive action against cheap imports, arguing in a petition filed Wednesday with the Commerce Department that firms in four Asian countries are illegally flooding the U.S. market with Chinese-subsidized panels.

Though the panels are not produced in China, the petitioners allege many are made in factories linked to China-based companies that benefit from massive price supports.

The complaint comes amid a glut of solar panels on the global market that has driven prices down by 50 percent over the past year, with the International Energy Agency projecting prices will fall even further. Manufacturers are currently making two solar panels for every one that is getting installed, according to the IEA. The oversupply is imperiling a boom in U.S. manufacturing driven by President Biden’s signature climate bill, the Inflation Reduction Act.

“We are seeking to enforce the rules, remedy the injury to our domestic solar industry and signal that the U.S. will not be a dumping ground for foreign solar products,” said Tim Brightbill, an attorney for the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, the group of U.S. firms that filed the petition. The group includes such industry giants as Ohio-based First Solar and Qcells, which has used Inflation Reduction Act subsidies to invest in huge new manufacturing facilities in Georgia.

In an email to The Washington Post, Chinese Embassy spokesman Liu Pengyu said his country’s “leading edge in new energy is gained through strong performance and full-on market competition, not government subsidies.”

“China has been and will always be open to industrial cooperation,” the statement said. “We hope relevant countries will embrace fair competition and work with China to contribute to a world-class, market-oriented and law-based environment for trade and economic cooperation.”

But the petition is also renewing tensions in the American solar industry, as installers of panels and developers of large solar farms warn that placing restrictions on imports could hurt consumers and raise prices. If the petitioners succeed, companies that buy solar panels from businesses in any of the four nations cited could be subject to steep penalties, which federal trade officials could enforce retroactively.

The industry only recently emerged from a bruising battle over the enforcement of trade laws, after the administration found Chinese companies were illegally sidestepping them by producing panels in China but then finishing assembly in other countries to avoid tariffs.

So, I’m moving soon, from Georgia to Toronto, and I’m worried because I’m moving up to a colder area. I have a Liu Gregor who I’ve had since high school (I’m post-college now), a Liu Hong Lu who I rescued during college, and an Ardor Ishmael who showed up in my house a year ago and wouldn’t leave. You can see the problem here: none of them fare well in colder temperatures. But the reason I’m moving to a colder area is so I can take care of my great aunt (who lives up in Canada), because nobody else in my family physically or mentally can. Is there any way to bring my beloved Limbi up to Toronto and still keep a warm environment for them?

#𝐇𝐖𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝟔 starter call.

going to keep this simple as it's pretty last minute. if you'd like to plot then give this a like & i'll hit you up. otherwise, reply below for starter(s). you can find the aesthetics~ for everyone here (click the images for full size).

anastasia scarlet (going solo): ??/?? — plans to network (mostly going just to dress up though). she's not going to dance or be particularly festive.

anya jenkins (going solo): 2/?? liu qingge, ethan — honestly, had zero plans to go due to how other events in this city always end up. was eventually dragged here by someone.

blair waldorf (going solo): 1/?? rachel green — she came, she saw, she judged. blair wouldn't miss out on a gala, even ones that maybe she should. she's definitely regretting not staying home and watching roman holiday with macarons.

chloe decker (came to get trixie): 1/?? max, jamie — she was meant to work, but trixie heard free candy and more than likely snuck in so she's here to get her.

do dohee (blind date with harvey hufflepuff): ??/?? — dohee's only goal is to get married; however, not everyone is up for a quickie courthouse marriage in the middle of a first meeting, so will probably scare people (blind date included) away with her forthright nature.

tak dongkyung (going with doom): 1/?? sally, doom — here for all the fun! then will probably want to go home after an hour. but she'll enjoy it as much as she can until her inner homebody wants to lounge on a couch in sweats and watch tv or read.

ji euntak (will be with kim shin): 3/?? craig manning, junwoong, soren , pyrrha — not an official date, but euntak does find talking with kim shin fascinating. will be taking full advantage of the open bar and candy bowls while avoiding ghosts.

lorelai gilmore (blind date with kili oakenshield): 2/?? lu junyi, georgia, scarlett — mom signed her up for a blind date & is making her attend. she'll probably be a whole mess... especially with the open bar.

lydia martin (going with charlie weasley): 5/?? charlie, allison, romeo, tara, isaac — excited to be dressing up, be on a date, and just wants to have stress-free fun.

nora grey (going with patch): 1/?? arnold, rory — another nerd. will mostly likely spend most of her time away from the dancing & drinking and just exploring the museum. lest patch or someone drags her away.

ren ruyi (going solo): 1/?? feng yu — will be people watching mostly. she might partake if pressed, but she is more of an observer.

sabrina spellman (going solo): 3/?? hongjo, thea, fliss — stopped in to take a much needed break from trying to figure this place out. you will find her on the dance floor almost all night.

yan hui (blind date with wyatt lykensen): 1/?? a-xiang, wyatt — she didn't even know what she was signing up for or what this even is. but she was told it'll be fun and it's like a fancy party, so why not? it's not like she has much else to do.

son yeonseo (going with yoon chiwoo): 2/?? chiwoo, rosalie — not particularly thrilled to be here. fancy parties like this give her bad vibes for some reason (probably residual feelings from her past & all the wine authenticating she was forced to do for her dad). will try to have fun, though.

ki yuri (blind date with alyla vane): 1/?? alyla yeon, — is really looking for a fight or cause some sort of destruction after hearing lee rang is dead in the future (or past? present? however time works here as it is still confusing her).

O.K. With My Decay, Grandaddy the pressure put upon me / it goes and goes 'til it thinks it got me / on my decay / I have no choice / so I'll rejoice / I'm OK

Two Words, Kanye West ft Mos Def two words, United States, no love, no breaks

Beirut Al Kobra, Sami Hawat لبنان صغير (زغير ) بيروت كبر / بيروت كبرى هاى بيروتو بيروتو / يا سلام .. يا سلام [little Lebanon, big Beirut / greater Beirut, hey Beirut / peace oh peace]

Feel It Still, Portugal. The Man is it coming? / is it coming? / is it coming back?

Sacar La Voz, Ana Tijoux ft Jorge Drexler respirar un futuro esplendor / cobra más sentido si lo creamos los dos [to breathe a glorious future / makes more sense if we do it together]

Landing Guy, Liu Haolin & Kidult night to day, and day to night / all the sadness, you take my breath away / I don't really see much of anything / but I see you / that is crazy

Wonderwall, Yumi Zouma (Oasis cover) and all the roads that lead you there were winding

Paradise, Sade I'd wash the sand off the shore / give you the world if it was mine

The Shining, The Neighbourhood I've been hiding / you've been shining / like, diamonds blinding

Mountain O Things, Tracy Chapman the life I've always wanted / I guess I'll never have

Scotch and Soda, Kingston Trio all I need is one of your smiles / sunshine of your eye

Taste You, Melissa Auf Der Maur plug it in / so I can digest you, I will taste you

Tomorrow Wendy, Concrete Blonde it is complete now / two ends of time are neatly tied

All the Places, Made in Heights dead could, dead could start to feel and your eyes will start to flood

Going to Georgia, Atom and His Package (The Mountain Goats cover) the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway / is that it's you / and that you're standing in the doorway

The Keepers, Santigold ask me why a dream gets you by / but let it want, turns a dangerous thing / watch out for it, it snakes right past / then turns around and it sucks you in

Le coeur au bout des doigts, Jacqueline Taïeb il me dit: vous semblez triste / et je ne lui réponds pas / en levant un peu la tête / je vois qu'il a les yeux bleus [he says you seem sad / and I don’t answer / lift my head a little / see his eyes are blue]

Baby's On Fire, Brian Eno rescuers row, row / do your best to change the subject

Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You, George Benson our dreams are young and we both know / they'll take us where we want to go

History Town, Mos Def / Talib Kweli / Max Tannone it's where you been and where you be / and without understanding you cannot proceed / complete, the start and the end / then it just go round again... again

I Guess I Planted, Billy Bragg & Wilco but when it dawns way in the back of your mind / the big ones are made up of the little kind / union song, union battled

Party in the USA (Remix), Rye Rye this is all so crazy / party in the / this is all so crazy / yeah / it's a party in the USA

This Bitter Earth, Dinah Washington oh this bitter earth / today you're young / too soon you're old /

Head On, Man Man are you dreaming of death / are there ghosts in your chest / are you always so restless, yes you are

My Heart Has A Mind of Its Own, Connie Francis I know forgetting you / would be a hopeless thing / for I'm a puppet and I / just can't seem to break the string

Time In a Bottle, Jim Croce if I had a box just for wishes / and dreams that had never come true / the box would be empty / except for the memory of how they were answered by you

Hot Like Fire, The xx (Aaliyah cover) you can't resist / kiss, kiss, and kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss...

Red, Okkervil River yes is my favourite answer / but I have seen some things that I cannot even tell to my family pictures / and I'm full of fictions and fucking addictions and I miss my mother

Someday, The Strokes see, alone we stand, together we fall apart / yeah, I think I'll be alright / I'm working so I won't have to try so hard / tables, they turn sometimes / oh, someday

#The Bear #averaging one new #fanmix #every two years #EP
