tw/ talk about cannibalism
tldr: theres multiple videos circulating about cannibalism in haiti going on widespread right now, spoiler alert, these claims are unverified, one isnt wven from haiti, and another that is from haiti is unrelated to whats happening now
also yea talkin bout this again cause this idea that theres cannibals in haiti is spreading around like wildfire and ppl are posting literal propaganda from alt right people on fucking twitter of all places
no, there isnt cannibalism going on widespread in haiti, elon musk and others posted multiple videos of what was supposedly haitian gangs roasting someone to eat and he and this other alt right weirdo used it to say “these are the people coming into the us” demonizing not only haitians, but haitian americans as well, many people took these videos and fucking RAN with it, using it to be xenophobic to just any haitians they find and they disagree w, like ive already seen it been used against other haitians and its been used against me as well, this isnt the first time ive dealt w some shit like this and it surely wont be the last but id feel better knowing that i at least tried telling people
multiple news articles has said that the claims are not verified, some has identified a video as not only not being from haiti, but being from china from this halloween celebration at an amusement park (there was even a community note under a vid of one of the vids they were claiming to be of haitian cannibals and it was literally from that chinese celebration), and in another article discussing about this one vid that WAS from haiti, HOWEVER, it was 2 years ago and not related to whats happening NOW
organizes in port au prince (where everything is happening, this isnt rlly a COUNTRY WIDE everyone is being gunned down, thing, however most ppl do live in PAP) are even saying theres no cannibalism even being reported RIGHT NOW
elon’s post about it isnt even up anymore i dont think bc its unverified
heres some articles
the independent
nbc news
times now
haiti is more than “white people left and look what the black people did lolololol” yall niggas never left and never gave haiti its freedom

the twitter files that elon musk and his cronie gang of substack journalists are trying to drum up as this generation's watergate really looks like a guy who stomped on his own dick in a huge apartment complex that he took out massive loans to buy (that he can't pay back in time) and is trying to convince everyone that the previous owners are criminals for being less-than-ideal owners to distract from the fact that he and his dick is fucked.
like this motherfucker with too much (imaginary) money and absolutely no sense of self control one day decided "HEY, I WANNA BUY THAT BUILDING FOR $56 BAZILLION DOLLARS", the owners said "well, okay, do you wanna take a look around first before you sign this contract, there's stuff you might wanna take a-" and before they could even finish their sentence, he's already signed the contract with his dick print yelling "YOOOO IM GONNA OWN THIS APARTPMENT COMPLEX, THIS SHIT'S GONNA BAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!" 2 days later (after talking to the owners about what goes on at the complex), the guy goes "oh fuck, oh shit, this place is fucked and i don't wanna back out bc i already signed the contract with my dick, i already asked all my shady rich friends for the loans to pay for it, and ill have to pay the owners $3 million for the trouble uh-" "HEY EVERYONE THESE APARTMENTS HAVE TERMITES AND I DON'T WANNA BUY IT ANYMORE, AND I'LL BE SUING THEM IN ORDER TO NOT BUY IT". The property owners say bet. 8 months later (and after finding out he'll have to prove that there are termites in court or be forced by the court to buy the complex), he begrudgingly pays for the complex and after making himself the sole owner and celebrating with all the extremely annoying tenants (and convincing them they can party all they want for an $8 "at-the-door" fee), he finds out that a not-insignificant amount of people are immediately moving out or will move out in the near future & people who're allowed to put up flyers for local events & stores were taking their flyers off. also the cleaning staff are on strike for having to clean up all the ragers in the main lobby. fuuuuuuuck.
one day, he happens to find a bunch of copies of repair invoices and eviction notices in a desk drawer in the previous owner's office. "oh, this is gonna totally own my tenants and get those other ones to pay extra to party extra hard, which i also am right now", he says as he looks for any huge dollar amounts or notable people's names. fast forward to today and now he's haggled all the failed novelists and writers that got fired for plagiarism in the area to post biweekly 500 page articles about how the invoices and notices are inescapable bipartisan truth that the previous owners of the apartment complex are actually criminals for neglecting to repair toilets in a timely manner & kicking out a couple of the previous tenants for "being a disturbance to the peace". he also personally implies that one of the previous managers sleeps with kids because of a completely unrelated article he wrote 12 years ago about criminal justice reform.
meanwhile his ex-girlfriend still won't talk to him, several high-profile musicians and celebrities have left the building, no one wants to put their flyers and billboards anywhere near the building, & he owes $1B/year to mysterious rich people that are not above making indebtors disappear and can make it look like an accident if they could give a fuck.
oh also it now costs $11 to party the day of, $8 if you give them at least a day's notice

The funny thing about Elon wasting money on twitter is the fact that it’s all his own doing. He’s somehow managed to skate by making decisions with no forethought (tesla’s driverless system having an open beta with no supervisopn) and refusing to listen to experts for years now with no big consequences but his moment has finally come. I’m super frustrated with the situation as well and as an artist I’m worried about my income but I stand in solidarity with twitter employees refusing to work with this despot and I’m trying to just laugh through it cause if I don’t, I’ll just be in an endless circle of anxiety over whether or not I can get commissions now
it's bizarre like it almost seems like a deliberate tanking of the company bc he hates the app and cant handle the way people used to shit talk him on there.......i can think of no other plausible reason this cunt just wasted billions on ruining a website.......could be that or he could just be so entirely deluded and out of touch with reality that he really thought it would work out for him? even though he's just a fucking braindead loser with like you said no expert insight or real intelligence? it'd be comical how villainous he if it wasn't so gut wrenching and gross. i agree, twt employees are absolutely in the right for refusing to even entertain this shit. anyway, i'm sorry to hear about you losing your artistic platform - it's crazy how many people's lives will be derailed by one man's incompetence and ego. i hope you can find another place to advertise your art and build up an audience again, whether it's on here or insta or anywhere else. i'd love to check it out some time if ur open to that! <3

wait the space race take is cursed, but like, it reads to me as though rhys was reaching for the stupidest thing someone could do with a fortune these days, not something cool or admirable? it's a really ungenerous read of stede, but also this article is from march 3rd back when the cast and crew were being super tight lipped about what the show actually was so talking about the characters honestly would have been tough, while comparing a historical dipshit who commissioned a ship and abandoned his family to be a pirate to a contemporary dipshit participating in a space race is an easy, time filling laugh.
a valid theory but also im not gonna reach this hard to think of a non-terrible reason rhys suggested an Elon Musk AU. i'll just take the L on this one and say the starring actor from a show i love had a really bad take on what his character would do in a modern AU and i just have to live with that. like maybe rhys just said some dumb shit bc he's dumb idk. it's not like i know the guy personally.

You hit the nail on the head with that ask. We never hear Colby complain just show hes tired, yet Sam literally is seen out more and has commented that he has panic attacks and Colby has to come help him out with that. I just had a talk about this with someone on reddit and we were saying how as soon as they returned from Europe, Sam left to have another trip with his siblings while Colby stayed behind to edit. Yet when he returned it was Sam who made the post about not needing to vacation and preferring to work than have time off. When Colby is finally seen out, Sam always has to post some version of a story or snap to show hes editing yet all we see on the screen is the thumbnail. Colby looks so down and depressed sometimes it worries me and where is Sam? Golfing? Or taking Katrina to Hawaii? Colby barely took time to see his family in Arizona because he needed to get back to editing. Just know many of us don’t say this because parts of the fandom are so toxic you cant get a word in but we all see it, and many of us feel it. You though hit the nail on the head.
my thing is, i'm not saying he doesn't deserve time off. if anything, i would love for him to find someone that could take some shit off his plate. both him and colby work their asses off, they BOTH deserve to have editors do their parts so they can focus on other things. my issue is that when colby edits, he sits in his room and does nothing else but edit. maybe you see him go out at night, maybe he goes on a walk or something. but even that's rare. sam on the other hand…. he's out with kat, or her group of friends. he's out drinking. he's doing a bunch of stuff. but then comes back and complains on not having enough time to edit. in one breath he will say he loves editing and it's his favorite thing to do, but in the next breath complain about needing an editor or showing all the shit he had to do just to get to the point where the video is almost finished.
both of them do a lot of editing all the time, but only one complains about it. and then that same one complains about not finding an editor that can copy his style, or that he has to give notes and 20 page documents on how to do his style. and it also seems like at times that he "deserves" an editor bc he has a gf and since colby doesn't, that's why who cares if he has to do his part in the end regardless. that's my issue.
and as i've said before, usually when snc are in a time crunch is when sam likes to pull out the "let's try something different with the editing", and it usually just makes the video feel a bit off, even if the thing that changed seemed somewhat interesting. there was just no follow-thru bc YOU DIDN'T HAVE TIME.
again, i don't care if sam wants time away from work. i IMPLORE both of them to take breaks. but do not come back from a 5 star vacation talking about "i love working, idk why anyone would want a vacay, you shouldn't live for them".
some of us only work to live here, samuel. you think i love working in retail for slightly above minimum wage? fuck no lol
yo highkey i think my issue with sam is that he is just such a capitalist and i'm just… not. this man wants to be rich like elon but doesn't realize what that means to get that rich. but then it's funny bc he doesn't even realize looking up to assholes like elon or bezos is ridiculous bc neither one of those fuckers are working. they just profit off of those that work under them without lifting a finger. they exploit which is why they make so much fucking money. they care about no one but themselves and their fucking pockets. money makes them soulless.
okay i'm gonna stop ranting now.

just woke up brain dump sorry about the shit numbering as I remember something I just fling it down
1. the apocalypse?? the storm. my sister and my dad and mom and me all trying to go home from downtown ;+5 but the flood the weather the storm the debris from the sky the collpasing buildings the road in shambles. we walked instead to avoid the rising water even though it wasn't stable . the sky was dark. my dad ended up safe at home even though the rest of us were on the secons store of what looked like an avant garde clothing store. therre were huge things collapsed on the road and I was driving and walking under bc I just wabted to go home.
1.2?? the apocalypse more intensely. the sky was purple now we were on the roof I was separattfrom mom & sister it was otherprolle. some of us had psychic powers iof some kind. Elon wisk was there trying to launch stuff into the sky but it kept failing. it was making ??? mad. we were running and hiding scrambling avross the roofs and through the concrete all the light sources were a bright teal blue
1.5 ? I was watching my friend ride a merry go round and other things through hmy phone . it was chill and fun
1.7 at the end of a sleepaway summer campin the woods at a national park or something waiting for parebts to come pick us up . vibe shift I'm talking to a jp guy first I thought it was bc I won a commission from him but his engoish wasn't good so I was trying to communicate by seding pictures (I wanted him to draw kuroha) & then it turns out I won a trip ?? it was maras y8 btw the anime piano guy ive been listening to flor like a decade & he looked super young (like we've seen his face before but now he was just like a7/10 asian guy . actually he looked like a dude named Jeffery from . highschool maybe?? but iirc he was like the Kevin Nguyen fuckboy type LMAO idk I haven't thoughbt about him in a while wonder if he's on insta i just want to see what hes doing before going back to nit thinkijg abuot him ever again. anyway. guy had a blond Russian gf who had bad skin & was scared of squid) and also the Convo changed & now I won like...a trip to visit him or smth? also he spike some engljs h now and also understood some chinese which made communication easier and he knew my mom. and he owed my dad $225 ?? imf not sure how. one of my friends who was sitting at an adjacebt picnic table commebted on it after we settled the plans & stuff like damn how u know THE marasy & I had an answer at the time. and forgot. he also gave me food to take back to my mom and I did and she was kind of excited about it
??? krndhi yonezu was also in one of my dreams, I don't remember like which one or why he was there, or maybe this is a whole separate thing, but he was opening? he wasn't an area and I was surprised to see him, it was a place that for all accounts he shouldn't have been but there he was standing on a table or a small stage or something wearing like a tank top? I don't know from what I've seen him do his live shows and he usually dresses in that like extremely oversized fashion so I was surprised it was just a tank top and baggy jeans, just passed a car with the license plate hag never mind I misread it it's ha6
2. we all ended up on the computer lab doing our things..different time zones different people. I saw the ghost ? if my fresan year roommate bc I got notifications on old documents and opened them and suddenly she was there flickering and indodnt know what to say to her since we were hbotj shy and she she dropped our. there was bloos on her lips she'd had sirgeey. unsure if she survived. but the others could see her..we werebally waiting for the train to take us back home. it came through the center. her project was a circus gambling app called strom. a secret level stage 5 was unlocked by reassembling slicesf a half eaten apple. when I talked to her she said she was a ghost but how? they saw her. she became fast friends with this girl named Sharon who was rraunchy and talkes about sex. did she remember me too ?

why are rich ppl so terrible lmao a lack of basic human decency lol how do u not aknowledge me/introduce urself but then ask me to do somethingggg i think i am over my head w this family….SO glad i stuck to my GUTS this morning and decided not to stay an hour later. the way the mom and daughters are in the living room getting pedis and i am sitting here w nothing to do lol she asked me to do one thing (lol find the child’s missing egg for no reason) and i had already done it….why am i here why am i alive the girl hates me already bc i started enforcing some DISCIPLINE i dont want to be rich lol and the baby really does have seperation anxiety lol but saying ur baby has anxiety?? i wouldnt do it. but the mom literally is always holding the baby not even putting it down so yea. but i think they dont like my personality. the mom was making very strange poop and pee jokes. likeeee i know i am a prude but like the childs toy moon fell down and the child said it fell bc it had to poop. and the mom was very into riffing on that. she was like oh he pooped and now he needs to fart his way back up maybe if he farts enough itll get back up. and mom also made a joke about the toy dinosaur drinking the pee out of the childs pull up? 🤮 its giving i never hang out around other adults….but rly i have never felt more like the help than today! this is probably the wealthiest family ive worked for but ya. like when u go to the local credit union on a school field trip and they let u hold the stack of like $20,000 for 5 seconds. i know there is 20k cash sitting in one of these nightstand drawers. they are from texas. its giving oil money. the baby tbh i could work with her if given the opportunity but i dont think they will like my style. u have to be ok with letting baby cry sometimes. i dont think they will call me again but i still have to be here for 4 more hours…..😂😂😂 its not sustainable…..her usual nanny must let her do whatever she wants. i think i am ugly to them but let me get on my yt feminist shit and say my ugliness is a statement. i was trying so hard to get the car washed before coming here but it was taking too long so i pulled up with it quite muddy 😝 idk what to suggest we do like do they let the child play outside? go for a walk? it seems like they just moved here recently…..i dont like being in this situation. i can hear the little girl talking to her mom this whole time and mom literally will not let go of the baby so i rly dont see what i could be doing rn….i wasnt given anything to do or training…imagine elon musk or grimes nanny. lets be real elon musk hasnt seen his kids in at least 6 months. they are doing a family photo shoot today. the baby onsie has its name embroidered on it. the mom introduced herself online by one common white name and then when i arrived she told me i should call her a different common asian name…..🫡 whatever u say boss. i need to get gas when i get off and reward myself with food. let me go grab my granola bar and see if they ask me to do anything….

wah wah uni/modern AU headcanons/word vomit underneath bc i’m bored
sfw stuff for once; probably a lot of projecting my uni experience on to characters lmao, a sprinkle of slander (a whole serving for naoya)
gojo, geto, nanami, haibara, naoya under the cut
gojo
double majoring in physics + mathematics. survives off of sugar/sweets to get him through all nighters. lives in the physics department building.
comes off as the kinda student who ALWAYS has to have something going on because they don’t want to be alone in their thoughts.
TAs for introductory courses and is the worst kind of TA; not that he’s an ass or anything. he’s really into the topic and that’s great! but explains things like “so you go like this, and like zoom here? but also there’s a whoosh that kinda changes things.” like sir? i just asked what newton’s third law was.
will try to haze underclassmen into doing stupid things. (jumping in a nearby lake, running naked across the football field, stuff like that)
still a pretty good student; does make some dumb decisions (has definitely taken an exam high on some type of illicit drug just to see what happens)
heckles conspiracy theorists/animal rights activists when they’re on campus. 
steals plates/utensils from campus dining, has amassed a giant pile of utensils by the end of the year.
bonus text message bc i felt like it:
Tumblr media
geto
philosophy major + animal bio/zoology major(? or minor)
not related to his major but he also comes off as the type that would read horror fiction in his spare time (idk lovecraftian fiction in particular feels like it would ring with him)
is an RA. he didn’t want to live off campus because it’s too expensive but didn’t want to have roommates in a campus dorm either. best of both worlds.
when introducing himself to his floor/residents during the first meeting, he just makes up random lies about campus/university. (the bathroom in room 323? haunted. don’t eat the cafeteria pasta; you’ll have terrible shits. intro math is the EASIEST class ever! (he almost failed intro math in his first quarter.)) aka just causes problems on purpose just to see what happens.
stellar student and (generally) all around swell guy; is always the first one to speak up if you’re assigned in a group project and takes the lead. very charismatic (in a good way!)
has a well-organized planner/google calendar. if you make plans w/ him he says shit like “ok, so i’ll pen you in for 2pm on thursday?”
if you get into an argument w/ him he’ll probably point out that something you said is technically a logical fallacy and then goes off on a tangent about said fallacy.
when approached by petitioners on campus, lies to them that he’s not local to the area, or that he’s not registered to vote.
starts small talk w/ you not out of romantic or even platonic interest, but because he wants you to join his student club 
nanami
business/econ major. but he’s cool! responsible! and ~not like other business majors~ (aka he’s nice and not a drunken asshat)
doesn’t do much outside of school; holes himself in his room to study or occasionally goes to a library/cafe on campus for a change of pace.
turns in assignments days before the deadline. never does anything last minute if he can help it.
wears a leather messenger bag. has been mistaken for the professor on a couple of occasions. 
lives on caffeine; his 32 oz hydroflask? yea that’s filled to the brim w/ coffee.
part of model UN
has a lot of spare time since he doesn’t work or do many extracurricular activities; main hobby is reading, and occasionally baking.
if he has a class in a large lecture hall he puts his bag on the seat next to him and says he’s saving it for someone if anybody asks. he is indeed, not saving that spot for anyone and just doesn’t want people sitting next to him.
haibara
pre-med or veterinary science major.
plays ultimate frisbee on the school lawn.
if you sit next to him on the first day of class, he’ll make small talk + ask you for your number so that you two can study together for the rest of the quarter. (in a platonic way, not necessarily romantic!)
type of person that likes to draw on the whiteboard outside of their dorm door as the seasons change; things like “good luck on finals!”, “happy holidays!” w/ smiley faces and cute doodles
is part of a cooking club on campus; likes to bring whatever he makes to nanami. (also bc he’s worried nanami isn’t taking care of himself; who the hell drinks 32oz.+ of coffee everyday?)
keeps a hamster in his dorm even thought he’s not supposed to; has to hide the hamster cage/supplies ahead of time for room inspections.
has accidentally fucked up a lab once and had to use the emergency lab shower.
naoya
compsci techbro. like the worst kind of techbro you’ll ever find. elon musk worshipper and crypto enthusiast. 
has a stacked resume w/ internships and whatnot bc his family has connections. legacy kid.
pays people to do his homework.
subscribes to rise and grind mentality, believes in alpha male ideology
is always dripped out in luxury/designer brand outfits.
if you ever ask him for help w/ something he’d either say “figure it out yourself” or repeat the spec word for word to you as if he actually did something.
thinks weed ~elevates his state of mind.~ it doesn’t.

a mf tried to convince me how elon musk was a good guy and when i tried to tell him how all billionaires are evil bc they have the power to end all suffering in the world but they just dont he just "you cant make generalisations about rich people", "not all billionaires are bad", "but sCieNCe"d me i'm so furious >:(
I read this, and I literally had to put my phone down lmao.
I remember this tweet that went "Elon Musk is a dumb guy's idea of a smart guy" and I have literally never been able to think of anything else 🥴🥴
Next time someone defends Elon you can talk about how his parents got money from an Apartheid South Africa emerald mine, or how he didn't actually found any of his companies but just bought founder status instead.
And regarding the "but science" thing, you could say that he literally doesn't know jack shit about aeronautics or manufacturing or anything really, he just has the money to pay a boatload of people to do the science and production for him.
Also, there is something to be said about him essentially deciding that Earth is no longer worth saving, and fucking off to another planet instead. Just his wealth alone would provide for most -if not all- funds that are estimated to be needed to save the planet, but NOOOOO, let's abandon the poor on planet so fucked up it can't sustain human life anymore in like 50-100 years and create an ancap society for the Uber wealthy on Mars.
Elon somehow brings out a visceral hatred from the bottom of my being lmao. But I guess that that's not strange since he is literally one of the worst people alive.
Anyway, I'm rambling, take this photo of his SNL skit that he completely stole from a like 10 year old YouTube video.

Now it's your turn to use *my* ask to rant about *your* paracosm!! - Maddgicalgirl
ahhh sorry it took me so long, im busy all the time lately :(
but here we go >:)
the rant will be lgbtq+ themed bc pride month, babey
trigger warning: homophobia, f slur usage, abuse mention, abusive father
lately im daydreaming a lot about the müller family, the family sonia, hans, papydash, fallen and ferro belong to. im focusing especially on hans's relationship with his father who, well, used to be a very shitty queerphobic man. with an emphasis on used to be, and later i'll explain why
the thing is, his father, august oetker, has always been a really homophobic man, if i had a penny everytime he said something queerphobic, especially homophobic, i'd be richer than elon musk. he kept saying that if his son was gay he would k word himself, which is very ironic because hans is secretly gay, as well as some other young family members, including ferro, his other son, who is transgender.
hans tried his best to hide that fact away from him but at one of the family meetings he just... snapped?? the conversation looked like this:
august: oh yeah, i don't talk to f*ggots, but what i wanted to say is *proceeds to say something really shitty*, right, hans?
hans: you literally just said you don't talk to f*ggots, why are you asking one for an opinion then?
then they had a huge fight, august slapped hans across the face which caused him to storm out of the house, without even saying goodbye to his brother
while hans went back to new rome where he, sonia and maeve shared a house & raised the schwarz-müller twins, his father contiuned with being a queerphobic prick
...until he found out ferro was transgender. that's when something clicked in him.
he wasn't mad, he just asked ferro an excessive amount of questions and when he explained to him that no, being transgender isn't a mental illness, and that he actually feels way better while people refer to him with male name and pronouns, august thought "hey, maybe i shouldn't treat lgbt people that way because after all, they're just normal people who want to live happy lives" and decided to apologise to hans
of course, hans spent way too much time listening to august talking shit about the lgbt community, so he didn't answer any of his father's attempts to contact him
though one day while talking to ferro, august asked him to pass the phone to him as he wanted to apologise to his other son. hans didn't want to hear any of that but when ferro assured him he actually changed he decided to give him one last chance
there was a lot for them to go through, but august is now a whole new man, he even hanged the rainbow flag on his balcony. he, who has always been scared of doing something like this because "what will the neighbors think"
august is very welcoming towards hans's plantean boyfriend, leo, though sometimes he asks too many questions at once, the good thing is leo is equally as fascinated with solarians so they get along quite well :)
of course, august still needs to learn more about being a better ally but he's trying his best!! :)

Last night I dreamed that I was a female Ajay Ghale and Elon Musk wanted to kidnap me, probably to take me to a creepy sex dungeon.
So like I said. In the dream, I’m Ajay Ghale. But female.
So in the dream I’m friends with the maternal grandmother of the kid with the ridiculous name. She is helping her daughter raise “Ash”, as the grandmother calls him, and invites me to stay with them to help be a good influence on Ash, considering who his Dad is.
I go over to her place. She lives on a cliff above a small beach. Her daughter is around a fair bit, but every now and then fucking Elon Musk shows up, whisks the daughter away, and it’s just me, the grandmother and Ash. We often see Elon Musk and Grimes jet skiing on the lake, and often have meals with them.
One day it’s my birthday and Grimes’ mother (*googles her name* Sandy, it was definitely her bc I read her tweet before I went to bed) makes me a cocktail. I think I did my makeup up or something? Either way I don’t like the way Elon Musk looks at me. We have a birthday dinner for me, and Elon Musk likes to say totally out-of-touch things. He finds out I like to sing and is like “Why didn’t you get a teacher and learn?” and in the dreamworld apparently singing teachers are super expensive because I have to stop myself from rolling my eyes, and so does Sandy.
More time passes. Ash gets older, about to three years old, and is shooting all over the beach. I have to go home for a time because I have to go on an epic quest to find a book from Kyrat? Except it turns out to be knowledge, but the knowledge is inside an elaborate necklace with big stones. And the knowledge is written in Dwarven? I want to get it out of Kyrat, so I have my RL mother wear it and take a plane out.
My mother gets back to her home which is in Canberra, for some reason. She calls me before I’m back at Sandy’s and tells me that she ran into Grimes at the supermarket. Grimes was crying because she “didn’t like the way Elon Musk was looking at me.”
And I’m like ohhhh fuck, I was afraid of this, ever since that birthday I was afraid Elon Musk was taking a fancy to me and was going to eventually ditch Grimes and now it looked like the relationship was finally collapsing. I debate on whether or not to call Sandy to warn her shit might be tense when I get back. I don’t remember if I did or not. I think I didn’t, because I was afraid she’d think I’d done something to “entice” him, even though I knew she’d seen Musk ditching Grimes coming for a while.
In the dream I go back to Sandy’s and she’s like “DUDE YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.” Apparently Musk was bringing in the military to kidnap me.
And I was like “Well, fuck.”
I considered swimming across the lake but there were tiny sharks in there and I was scared of them, for some reason, so I decided to sneak through a bunch of buildings instead. 
Sandy had already dropped a rope down the side of the cliff, but as I looked down on it from the top I saw that some of the army had already arrived. By some miracle, even though the rope was dangling right in their sight, nobody saw it and they proceeded through a door next to the rope that would take them up to where we were. So I abseiled down the rope.
I snuck through a few buildings. I remember thinking about calling Pagan Min for help -- I hadn’t talked to him since the events of FC4, and I was in the US, but I was pretty sure he was also stalking me just like I knew Elon Musk now was, and so he’d probably know how to get me out of trouble somehow. I called him twice while sneaking between buildings but he didn’t answer and I was like “Fuck.”
At one point I came close to being discovered, so I decided to pretend to be an Indian homeless person and speak in a Kyrati accent, because I knew none of the soldiers would know the difference. It worked, somehow, and I kept going.
I was near the entrance to the... village? Compound? IDK but it was the exit. I had to sneak through a carpark. I just remember emerging near the cars, crouched, intending to go left -- but there were soldiers that way, so I had to go right instead.
When I went right... I don’t remember exactly, but I knew when I woke up. I did something? I think I was caught and pretended to do something, or other, but the soldiers figured out I was only pretending and raised the alarm.
Aaaand that’s when I woke up.

Comms Course
Thu 2/6/2020 at 7:44pm... feeling still kinda sick, eyes closing on me. 
so i just took an $800 communication course on ‘how to communicate with slides’ by Own The Room led by instructor named Stewart (and oh many did he look like a Stewart!) ... yeah my job paid for it. 
in the beginning they asked me, why are you here? why do i want to improve my communication? is it really because you want to communicate better at your next presentation at work? what’s that why behind the why? i said something around not wanting to let my comm weakness come back to prime my own self-worth and capability, which it started doing, at work. (finding myself potentially getting myself in a rut) and wanted to be validated.. on my areas of both strengths and weaknesses. but maybe it’s more about me wanting to be taken more seriously (also a lot more to unpack there but lets not get there rn)...? but really simply bc i want to be more badass... and i know i can. (damn wouldnt it be cool if i had the eloquence and swagger of BO?) lol kinda funny bc back in 2011 at the bcg interview, they asked me what my strength was, i said ‘communication’ and ended up rambling away...
it was interesting. i’m glad i did it. it’s so hard to stop myself go into the defense mode of judging them (the class, the instructor) so that i can protect myself from their ‘judgment’ (in quotes because it’s not really the judgment that i think it is). i size them up and determine that i’m better than them so that i can tell myself later that what they are saying isn’t so material. WHAT KINDA COWARD AM I?!?! but it’s good, it’s good to recognize these instances (which have been happening alot). these are all the places i can grow more in. channel this negative energy into something positive... i.e. instead of spending energy on judging them, spend it on nurturing myself. self love. wowww i’m so... self-helping these days lol. u know what, it’s good for me.
another interesting thing was that i found myself comparing myself these other people and being relieved that these people are also human, some better and some worse than how i was.. realizing that these “other people” are just human, not so super-human and not so super-better than I ever will be... ok lets unpack this. this is stemming from the immigrant days of always feeling like i’m 2 steps behind, will always be, no matter how hard i try. looking at every average joe american kid as someone who’s just more gifted, better, than i am, because i had this “gap” of 10 years (# of years spent outside of US before coming here).. it’s true, in the beginning, when i first moved here, every kid in class seemed so much more capable than me because i couldn’t speak the language... but it’s been 20 years, and sure, i didn’t spend first 10 years of my life abroad, but that’s not a gap that sets me back... it was a privilege that i got to experience that not many could. that fact that i ramble isn’t really due to me being an immigrant, but prolly because that’s how i innately am inclined to be. c’mon! stop putting these other people on unjustifiably high pedestals. 
kinda related to another realization.. most of the lesson today was about being ‘different’, being ‘exceptional’. but this is so contrary to how i’ve grown up! in the last 20 years! because i thought all these american kids/people were so much better than me, they became the ‘goal’ ie the state that i’m striving to reach... so by definition, i’ve put in a lot of effort to fit in, to be in that box these americans drew for me. success also was defined by these people. yes, be excellent, but only in a way that’s been done before. being actually exceptional (i.e. be an exception to the usual) is not what i ever trained myself to be. so being told, hey, now you gotta be different, i kept on seeing myself ask ‘can i do this?’ ‘how much of my personality should/can i show?’ ‘what’s acceptable?’ ‘is this okay?’ because if you stay within the box, you don’t really have to ask these questions. but once i get out, there’s a whole lot more i’m unsure about. someone draw me a new box! 
but i don’t need a box. that box represents comfort and a weird mental limitation i’m only applying to myself. BE FREE. BE FREE AMY. be me. embrace what makes me, me. stop putting a box on myself when i want to actually be free. stop muting my authentic self to stay within the box. (...which i do do this alot at this job. feeling the need to be more corporate-y, mute my energy (it’s unprofessional!) and personality...) i don’t want to end up as a muted gray at the end of my life, when my core is a vibrant orange. (or green? yellow?)
u know what tho, i didn’t cringe as much watching myself in the video. progress in self love! good job. also i made a pitch of my empire (”AEMP”) and people liked the idea, asked me after if it’s an existing startup... so thats good i guess.
key takeaways from the session: 
strength: i’m magnetic. people like me. i engage people. i bring good energy that is contagious. charisma. good to confirm.
weakness: weak language (uh, uhms, you know, etc) reduces my executive presence... ‘aw amy is cute’, but that’s not where i want to be (or do i?)... also good to confirm. also, posture. also, stop bobbing my head so much.
tactical todos!:
drinking penalty starting tomorrow
“think, edit, speak” every time
pilates? for core and posture.
write out the narrative for every presentation (who what when/where why how)
“get over yourself”... presentation is about the audience, not me
after coming home i watched a lot of example videos of good orators.. obama, ronald reagan, margaret thatcher, MLK jr, JFK. also watched elon musk (lol if he can i can), steve jobs, bill gates, jeff bezos, indra nooyi, michelle obama, elizabeth holmes, jack ma, etc... none of these are perfect human beings or perfect communicators. i don’t really care to talk like a politician, but i do want to be able to influence and inspire with my words with my own personality. 
unfortunately people judge you based on your looks, but u can build your charisma: frame, substance, and delivery.
Tumblr media
my unfounded confidence tells me that if any of these people can do it, i can. just gotta be humble enough to acknowledge that shit i should work on this and actually put in the effort.
starting with... drinking salt water(? or diluted coke?) every time i say uhs or uhms or youknows or let me start by sayings or any other filler words.

I graduated last night! I am officially not a highschooler!
#it was so chaotic and im so tired#bc after diplomas we had like a parade which was neat but also it was windy and cold#and we had project grad which is basically an all night party kinda thing#however within half an hour of being there one of my grade mates passed out and had to be ambulance away#so we played blacklight volleyball which escalated#and we did trivia which was pretty neat but also slow so i nearly fell asleep#but my team nearly won#so theres that#they had like fancy food#like when rich ppl get tiny portions of shitty food and call it gormet#thats what it was like which kinda sucked#and at like 1 most of the entertainment left so we spent the next 4 hours in the hot tub/pool#we had to turn of the jets kuz we had just been inhaling chlorine air for like an hour and were lightheaded#bc we are stupid#legit nearly threw hands with one of my neonazi pro trump pro elon +jeff bezos classmates#bc i said elon is shit and he was like no! and i talked about all the satellites he's put up and from an astronomers standpoint#they are so shitty and i know bc 1) I'm an astronomer and 2)i was at astronomy camp with pro astronomers when he first did that#and every single one complained about it within days of them being put up there#so words were said and swears were yelled and popular classmates were scared off#which was a whole mess#but like i slept 30 minuts on the bus back and then got home and slept like 3 hours and then woke up so I'm hella tired#but i gotta work early so the best plan is just to stay awake the next 3 hours or so then pass out for early shift

I dreamt I married an emir (it was like. I think it was so the Emirates buy the submarines and give them back to us but I also got an assassin for myself it was p cool) and since I didn't produce a heir (no x rated [or above pg13, for that matter] had happened ), I had to translate Al Jazira's stuff and change them to content westerns would be able to support instead of being beheaded despite my pleadings and then somehow a TUA thing happened and I birthed a child despite like, working 30 years for Al-Jazira (that belonged to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos's space child [this was explained in the movie before apparently, bc it was a known fact] ), and not doing anything with anyone (remember it's a pg13 from start to finish). Just whoop and a kid - I didn't even have contractions or shit. Kid got out in a floop and he had a hand with a somewhat deformed hand (like, his thumb and pointing finger were fine, but the other fingers were all stuck together sorta like an oven glove?) and the ability to mimic the voice an mannerisms of whatever he hears but for some reason he preferred ordering coffee like Ray Hudson nutting over messi, and preferred the pope for asking where are the bathrooms (I only knew it because someone said בדוק האפיפיור אחי," בדוק אני אומר לך, אני עובד בוותיקן בעגלות, האפיפיור מת על הקרמים עם האבוקדו. אחלה גבר שבעולם אחי. חוץ ממך." And then said son of mine told me, in a Yankees commentator's voice that I'm not his real mother and that his name is Jeremy Johnson, son of the recently widowed Boris Johnson, loving husband of the deceased Jeremy Corbyn, who named their child after Jeremy and his best friends, Ahlem and Kuntar (yes, the second is a last name. yes, it was after reading more about Hezbollah) and I was like yeah i first saw an ad for u on Craigslist both your folks couldn't stand you using "soccer" when talking about association football and football for gridiron football plus you Stan the white sox like who does that?? And then told him his parents are away on winter break catching some rays and color on Pluto and when they came back these men were all so fuckin burnt like a German catching sun in Mallorca for the first time and then it ends with Mickey Mouse saying "that's all folks"
