ok so I get the schools football team is great and you can afford to spend thousands of dollars on signs that glow when they play and shit but can you go back to not charging kids for pads. or at least stocking the dispensers that do

#rant in tags sorry lol i hate it here #anyways #I don't generally take change with me when i go to the bathroom mid class #believe it or not #and half the time the dispensers are empty or broken anyway #“but then kids will just take them all” 1) how would anybody casually walk out of the restroom with 50 tampons #2) i think youd live #use that money you're always bragging on for something thats NOT showy sports gear or a fucking ten thousand dollar chandelier #hate rich schools because they have so much money they dont even bother spend it right #dont even get me started on the band #i like band !!! band is cool !!!! however my former high school had a great band #and they didn't BEG THEIR MEMBERS to sponsor THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS EACH FOR #on top of what they already have #AND THEY HAVE A LOT. #tbh ive never met more spoiled kids than the band ones at my school in my life #“we didn't get to have 5 field trips to amusement parks this year. just four. of COURSE im upset; they dont fund band enough” #that kid got jumped on by three art kids and a teacher when that came out 😭😭😭 #they just expect this shit #do they notice what its taking from everyone else #i have a teacher whos worked with this school for like 25 years. which is remarkable as this school isnt very old. or this town #compared to my other schools at least #and every day she goes on about How Much She Hates what theyre doing #but she wont leave because she likes to teach #shes watched the school slowly transfer more and more of its budget to showy extra things #and give less and less to necessities #more money does not help. #not only is there nothing more they can take from some families without driving us out‚ but they'll just keep wasting it. #theyre spoiled fucking rotten and you can't give them anything because itll never go where you want #out of tags but yeah i hate them and something needs to be done about the district #school problems

a third doctor who poll because I thought of another fun fight idea. which COMPANION would most effective beat up THEIR DOCTOR. same fight rule apply: no holds barred, psychological warfare encouraged, etc just a full out beat down. if they’ve been the companion to multiple Doctors just pick whichever one your heart tells you to. not including River or Jack because I got bullied (/j) for calling River a companion last time and Jack Literally Can’t Die so he doesn’t count

#doctor who #personally I’m torn between Martha Donna Rory and Clara #because Martha deserves to rock Ten’s shit and I believe she could. she’s a doctor she knows ALL the spots to hit #and Donna could do enough psychological damage to be able to snap him like a twig after #Rory doesnt get enough credit for spending 2000 years protecting his girlfriend and not getting injured at ALL and he has enough rage for i #and Clara is so very unhinged but I think maybe she loves Twelve too much to kill him. she could though. she could. #the companions are so much more badass than the doctor every single one of them could rock some shit if and when necessary #except Mickey. wet paper towel of a man (affectionate)

I know nothing about ballet so Misto’s little lesson to the kittens made absolutely no sense to me lmao

BUT Misto teaching a few kittens, which turns into more kittens, which turns into older cats too… very very good to imagine

Anyway gold rush is just *chefs kiss*

I'm glad you don't know anything about ballet! I hope everyone who read that chapter knows nothing about ballet, bc if I was hideously wrong about everything I said then no one has to know about it, lmao.

The long and the short of that scene is just (supposed to be) Misto teaching the kittens to do his conjuring turns (aka 'a la seconde' turns). Honestly it probably would've had the same effect if I'd just typed out 'and then Misto spent his afternoon teaching the kittens to do conjuring turns' instead of that entire sequence, but alas. my hubris.

#i wrote that scene UHHH like more than a year ago‚ and i just remember spending HOURS watching ballet tutorial videos and shit #and in recent weeks when i was editing gold rush i spent ten seconds looking at that scene and instead of double checking *anything* #i went 'eh its probably fine' and scrolled past #but anyways yes the funny thing abt misto in gold rush is that he has this whole thing abt wanting to be respected and admired #but hes convinced everyone sees him as this immature kitten-- but then when you see scenes like the ballet one #where he interacts with other cats you can kind of see that misto's own perception of himself is inaccurate and he's honestly- #-much more admired and respected than he thinks #he's an unreliable narrator in more ways than one but him having no clue how hes perceived by others is probably the biggest one #& i love those older productions where misto sings the intro to jenny's song to the kittens #i love the idea that he grows up to be part of the 'babysitting committee' like munk and that's kinda hinted at in gold rush sometimes #but enough rambling: thank you! :DDD #gold rush fic #cats fan on main

looking at pictures of myself from when i was 18 and 19 and 20 and 21 going omg she's so cute omg i was so cute back then 🥺 girl u just think ur cute in every photo u see of urself from a time when you weren't severely depressed most of the time.

#rubia speaks #the confidence and the joy of playing with fashion are really clear in the old pictures #i also spend a lot more effort on doing fun things with my hair and makeup when i'm not tired and miserable all the time #which then i look at and go 'wow! i can see i was having fun there!' #i think i'm very pretty now but i look probably ten years older and a lot less whimsical than i am in my recent pictures i think #i look now like i haven't squeezed a month of happiness consecutively out of life since over a year ago and that is correct #not to be cliche but i miss 2018 i miss 2019. i don't want to go back bc i don't fuck around with time BUT i want to feel good like then #part of me wants a drastic haircut again so i can put rollers in like i did when i was 18 but convocation is. literally tomorrow #i'm not making any huge appearance changes until after then

i don't disagree with people criticizing the lack of screen time laena has gotten but i am confused by how many people i've seen acting like book!laena wasn't a cardboard cutout who existed to ride vhagar, be rejected by viserys, disappear from the story completely for ten years, return to be daemon's placeholder wife, give birth, and then die

#i would've loved to get more than 3 episodes of laena #but she's such a non-character in the book that i was expecting...... pretty much what we're getting lol #it just seems inevitable that a season covering ~30 years in only 10 episodes would have to sideline characters like laena and harwin #like harwin has only had like one single line of dialogue so far and he's probably dying in tonight's episode! #honestly i feel like having just 2 more episodes in each half of the season and a bigger dragon budget would solve a lot of problems #cuz with only 10 episodes everyone who isn't particularly relevant to the dance ends up getting sidelined for the sake of plot #and i understand that choice but it's sad that side characters with potential end up being neglected as a result of the tight timeline #anyway all that being said if i had complete power over this show season 1 would be like fourteen episodes and also it would be animated #eliminating the need for a big enough time jump to justify an actor switch and letting us spend more time with laena laenor and harwin #during those ten years we're skipping in the show

sorry post-cage adam is getting to me again because that's not where he grew up but it's where he lived out his life. and the one after that, and the one after that, and the one after that. ten years and a thousand years down there and he was first trapped there when he was only a teenager. that's so fucked to me. he's so happy enjoying the little things about life after he gets out and it makes me wonder if he even knows what to do with the big things. an archangel that can take him anywhere in the universe and all adam wants to do is get a little job? does he remember what freedom looks like. is the vastness of the universe terrifying to him. does he wake up after inherit the earth and need months to process the fact that his life is really and truly his own after growing so used to being trapped in every form. there was no escape from the cage for centuries and there was no slow escape from living either because of the archangel keeping him from aging. DOES he remember what freedom looks like? does he have to relearn it? ten years and a thousand crammed into a cage and he was a teenager at the beginning and throughout the entirety of it. how long does the sight of the open sky overwhelm him?

#his brain is so fucked. i want to study him #and people can barely remember early childhood anyway which means that even ten years into that nightmare #adam probably would've remembered more about spending time down there than he would his own life #much less a THOUSAND. dear god #it's not where he grew up but it's sure as hell where he lived!!! another place to raise himself in if you will #sorry he gives me brainworms. as if it's my fault #kate rambles #adam milligan

Things people forget about OCs: if you want your OC to thrive, you need to be on it. Not all the time, but also not only when someone shows interest. Yes, that interest boost does help (a whole lot to some people), but the OC needs to be able to stand on their own metaphorical two legs, which means they have to have a somewhat constant influx of interest of their mun into them, not the rest of the world.

To play an OC is a lot of fun, but also tiring (exhausting even on certain days), time consuming, and you play for the long term, not the short game. Yes, some people happen to be lucky and hit the jackpot with a nice OC that came to be in the right time and place, maybe they have a story that fits extremely well with some fandom that's on full bloom, maybe they're likeable and easy to work into other people's narratives, maybe the faceclaim is just a popular one that makes it easier for them to go around, there's even cases when people are just horny and it serves to boosts the OC into more popularity and recognition. Those are exceptions, rare ones for that matter. Most will be just there getting by one day after another, and will have to learn to appreciate their own company to keep moving on without anyone even looking ay their direction.

It takes effort, time, respect and patience with yourself to know when your limit is being reached and understand that you might need to drop a piece of what you think is cool in order to make the OC wok, and care. In short, it takes real love to play and keep an OC.

#》ooc #//a little bit about ocs #//also sorry for posting this but i've been dealing with a lot #//and earlier today i had a person who hasn't been around my orbit in ages come complain about trying to make an oc and no one caring #//and i was literally going 'yeah karen that's what happens when you don't spend time on your oc but stays on your canon muse' #//i've been here for way more than ten years people #//i've heard this complaints a lot of times #//heck! i complained of this too when i began life as a rper! i know the drill! but i also learned to see the signs! #//the problem isn't your OC! it's your approach of them! #//they can be the hottest tamole but if they are never active there's no saving them! #// ( = - = ) sorry #//i had to let it all out of my chest

If something has a timer in it to tell people how long the thing they are using will take, the timer should be accurate! If you design something like like that and it is not accurate, you need to be destroyed. You either need to be taken out because you are a rare of space or you are evil and deserving of a slow and incredibly painful death where you are haunted by numbers.

#if a washing machine says it’s gonna take 30 minutes then it should fucking take 30 minutes #it should not stop at 25 minutes for 20 minutes #it should not spend ten minutes at 7 minutes #if it is going to take an hour then it should fucking tell you that it takes an hour #I am not overreacting #I have been trying to figure this out all year #but I have things to do so I’m not just going to sit around in time the fucking washing machine #and the washing machine is on the first floor and I’m on the fourth so I’m not just gonna keep checking #and the fucking moron on my floor I’ve been screaming for the past four hours #like shut the fuck up other people live here besides you and it is after midnight #even before midnight if I’m in my dorm with the door closed I shouldn’t be able to hear you guys screaming and not shutting up #someone threw a twisted tea in the toilet! That is fucking gross #I was already fucking terrible mood and then I just had to sit around in the laundry room for 20 minutes doing nothing #I knew that it took more than 30 minutes it originally said #but I’ve been trying to figure it out and I thought that maybe it took 45 minutes #I just assumed that I was messing up and losing track of time not that it actually took an hour #I want to destroy so many people. I’m feeling very homicidal.

🗣️THIS IS WHAT INCLUSIVE, COMPASSIONATE DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE

Minnesota Dems enacted a raft of laws to make the state a trans refuge, and ensure people receiving trans care here can't be reached by far-right governments in places like Florida and Texas. (link)

Minnesota Dems ensured that everyone, including undocumented immigrants, can get drivers' licenses. (link)

They made public college free for the majority of Minnesota families. (link)

Minnesota Dems dropped a billion dollars into a bevy of affordable housing programs, including by creating a new state housing voucher program. (link)

Minnesota Dems massively increased funding for the state's perpetually-underfunded public defenders, which lets more public defenders be hired and existing public defenders get a salary increase. (link)

Dems raised Minnesota education spending by 10%, or about 2.3 billion. (link)

Minnesota Dems created an energy standard for 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040. (link)

Minnesota already has some of the strongest election infrastructure (and highest voter participation) in the country, but the legislature just made it stronger, with automatic registration, preregistration for minors, and easier access to absentee ballots. (link)

Minnesota Dems expanded the publicly subsidized health insurance program to undocumented immigrants. This one's interesting because it's the sort of things Dems often balk at. The governor opposed it! The legislature rolled over him and passed it anyway. (link)

Minnesota Dems expanded background checks and enacted red-flag laws, passing gun safety measures that the GOP has thwarted for years. (link)

Minnesota Dems gave the state AG the power to block the huge healthcare mergers that have slowly gobbled up the state's medical system. (link)

Minnesota Dems restored voting rights to convicted felons as soon as they leave prison. (link)

Minnesota Dems made prison phone calls free. (link)

Minnesota Dems passed new wage protection rules for the construction industry, against industry resistance. (link)

Minnesota Dems created a new sales tax to fund bus and train lines, an enormous victory for the sustainability and quality of public transit. Transit be more pleasant to ride, more frequent, and have better shelters, along more lines. (link)

They passed strict new regulations on PFAS ("forever chemicals"). (link)

Minnesota Dems passed the largest bonding bill in state history! Funding improvements to parks, colleges, water infrastructure, bridges, etc. etc. etc. (link)

They're going to build a passenger train from the Twin Cities to Duluth. (link)

I can't even find a news story about it but there's tens of millions in funding for new BRT lines, too. (link)

A wonky-but-important change: Minnesota Dems indexed the state gas tax to inflation, effectively increasing the gas tax. (link)

They actually indexed a bunch of stuff to inflation, including the state's education funding formula, which helps ensure that school spending doesn't decline over time. (link)

Minnesota Dems made hourly school workers (e.g., bus drivers and paraprofessionals) eligible for unemployment during summer break, when they're not working or getting paid. (link)

Minnesota Dems passed a bunch of labor protections for teachers, including requiring school districts to negotiate class sizes as part of union contracts. (Yet another @SydneyJordanMN special here. (link)

Minnesota Dems created a state board to govern labor standards at nursing homes. (link)

Minnesota Dems created a Prescription Drug Affordability Board, which would set price caps for high-cost pharmaceuticals. (link)

Minnesota Dems created new worker protections for Amazon warehouse workers and refinery workers. (link)

Minnesota Dems passed a digital fair repair law, which requires electronics manufacturers to make tools and parts available so that consumers can repair their electronics rather than purchase new items. (link)

Minnesota Dems made Juneteenth a state holiday. (link)

Minnesota Dems banned conversion therapy. (link)

They spent nearly a billion dollars on a variety of environmental programs, from heat pumps to reforestation. (link)

Minnesota Dems expanded protections for pregnant and nursing workers - already in place for larger employers - to almost everyone in the state. (link)

Minnesota Dems created a new child tax credit that will cut child poverty by about a quarter. (link)

Minnesota Democrats dropped a quick $50 million into homelessness prevention programs. (link)

And because the small stuff didn't get lost in the big stuff, they passed a law to prevent catalytic converter thefts. (link)

Minnesota Dems increased child care assistance. (link)

Minnesota Dems banned "captive audience meetings," where employers force employees to watch anti-union presentations. (link)

No news story yet, but Minnesota Dems forced signal priority changes to Twin Cities transit. Right now the trains have to wait at intersections for cars, which, I can say from experience, is terrible. Soon that will change.

Minnesota Dems provided the largest increase to nursing home funding in state history. (link)

They also bumped up salaries for home health workers, to help address the shortage of in-home nurses. (link)

Minnesota Dems legalized drug paraphernalia, which allows social service providers to conduct needle exchanges and address substance abuse with reduced fear of incurring legal action. (link)

Minnesota Dems banned white supremacists and extremists from police forces, capped probation at 5 years for most crimes, improved clemency, and mostly banned no-knock warrants. (link)

Minnesota Dems also laid the groundwork for a public health insurance option. (link)

I’m happy for the people of Minnesota, but as a Floridian living under Ron DeSantis & hateful Republicans, I’m also very envious tbh. We know that democracy can work, and this is a shining example of what government could be like in the hands of legislators who actually care about helping people in need, and not pursuing the GOP’s “culture wars” and suppressing the votes of BIPOC, and inflicting maximum harm on those who aren’t cis/het, white, wealthy, Christian males. BRAVO MINNESOTA. This is how you do it! And the Minnesota Dems did it with a one seat majority, so no excuses. Forget about the next election and focus on doing as much good as you can, while you still can. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
