Hey, yanno how Climate Change is a real thing that is tangibly, at this moment, affecting our world?

Well it turns out, the wealthy and their investment firms have been seeing the mounting evidence that oil companies have had for decades and are slowly starting to think more long-term about their portfolios in the face of rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and the myriad of ways climate crises are affecting...well. Everything. Maybe this means they invest more into sustainability, green energy, building more resilient infrastructure, or carbon offsets. Some of it, of course, is simple corporate greenwashing, but there are those that are taking this trend and packaging it into something called ESG (Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance).

Now some people would say this is predictable, even sensible. Just the good ol’ Free Market(tm) rationally responding to market forces and a changing world.

But those people would be fools! Insidious fools! For conservative sorcerers have come out with a new cursed phrase to explain this new market trend: Woke Investing.

What makes this investing “woke?” Well, much like how conservatives normally flounder when trying to define a word they stole from black people, “Woke Investing” essentially just means any kind of capital investment that they, the fossil fuel billionaire class and their sycophants, don’t personally profit from.

One of these aforementioned sycophants is Andy Puzder, conservative commentator, fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and former fast-food CEO. He calls this kind of so-called woke investing “socialism in sheep’s clothing,” further explaining in leaked audio of a closed-door meeting:

“My father's generation's challenge was the Nazis, who, by the way, were, of course, very proud socialists[citation fucking needed]. The challenge of my generation was the communists, who were, of course, very committed socialists. The challenge of your generation is ESG investing, and it's more insidious than communism or the Nazis.”(source)

You heard it here first, folks. Not investing as much in fossil fuels is more insidious than the Third Fucking Reich.

As usual, the Heritage Foundation is putting their petro-chemical donor’s money where their mouth is. Bills are being proposed to blacklist banks that don’t invest in key state industries, such as West Virginia coal or Texas oil. Fourteen states have already passed bills to restrict ESG-type investing, with Florida Governor Ron “Bullies Kids for Wearing Masks” Desantis leading the charge.

In other words, Climate Denial has reached such a point that so-called Free Market Conservatives who claim to hate big government are trying to make it illegal for banks, investment firms, and financial institutions to make any financial decisions that acknowledges Climate Change is real.

#of course ESG has also been used to describe any kind of internal corporate action #to increase diversity in the work place or implementing new anti-discrimination policies #(which are usually more performative than actually meaningful but that's a separate issue) #a Republican Presidential candidate #Vivek Ramaswamy #has even made ESG investing his personal bugbear #writing such books as 'Woke Inc' and warning of socially conscious investors ''forcing'' companies they invest in #to devote resources to environmental and social policies that are anathema to the right #which is just...a brand new invented crisis by a political movement #in constant need of a crisis to rally their base and justify for draconian legal controls #to favor certain industries and undercut their competition #all under the guise of red scare-type moral and economic panic #ESG #Woke Politics #Climate Change #Capitalism #Republicans #Investment

I know you ship batjokes, but what do you think about jarley?

Well, I can't say I ship it, but I do find it interesting-- much like I find Bruce's other relationships interesting. It'd be tough not to, since in Punchline's own words:

-- Batman (2016) #93

Harley is the person to get closest to Joker emotionally other than Batman. And with the big disclaimer that this is all my personal opinion which I got specifically asked about, I'll put a slightly longer discussion of the subject under the cut.

To be honest, I dislike how Jarley has been reduced solely to the label of "abusive relationship", with Harley's own darker traits being swept under the rug or fully attributed to Joker's influence. Doctor Harleen Quinzell had her own demons and psychopathic tendencies, before ever meeting Joker; and it was a sense of deep loneliness that drove her to him, and which he exploited. At the end of the day, that does seem like what it amounted to, especially in the beginning... Harley feeling horribly alone, and latching onto Joker to fill that void, with Joker manipulating it and taking control. However, Joker would not have been able to take advantage of any kind of attachment if Harleen's own darkness didn't relate to Joker's own somehow.

And well, thing is... Joker, in his own way, cared about Harley. Put bluntly, he wouldn't have bothered to keep her around otherwise. It's a Black Label comic, but my mind always goes to this phrasing when thinking of Jarley:

-- Birds of Prey (2020)

"Crawled in each other's void." And Joker's void was Batman-shaped, just like she says. At this point it's been canonized again and again that Joker is in love with Batman, with Harley herself being the one to confirm it more than once... and it is fascinating how Batjokes and Jarley interact, most tragically when it comes to Harley. Because she was jealous of Batman and the hold he had over Joker's attention. Part of what kept her next to Joker, trying harder and harder to please him (like in Mad Love) was the hope that eventually, she could become as special to him as he was to her. She saw how human Joker could be about Batman, and wanted to nurture and help him turn it into something more, but in the end it probably became the most hurtful thing-- Joker being incapable of caring about anyone else but Batman, no matter how hard she tried or the things she endured.

...Anyway, Anon, to summarize, I do think Jarley is interesting :)) That being said, it's also annoying how it's being used to turn Joker into a one-dimensional cartoonishly evil abuser, ever since Harley's redemption arc began. Better writers could find ways to turn Harley into an anti-hero without bulldozing over previous characterization for her or Joker, but alas.

#this is part of why Joker War is very interesting to me too #Tynion so clearly had Batman Punchline and Harley at the forefront of the story #as three main relationships Joker has. each of them at different stages of having wanted something from him #Punchline in the beginning. Bruce in the middle. Harley at the end #and Harley being the one to try and talk Punchline and Bruce into leaving BECAUSE she's the one having had enough #...but it's wild how through the sheer nature of comics. Batman is essentially INCAPABLE of leaving Joker behind #DC will only stop telling their story when it stops selling and God knows when that'll happen #so Harley tells Bruce 'this story needs an ending' #and Bruce tries to walk away from Joker #but in the very next issue Bruce says 'Joker was right' and implements the lessons Joker tried to teach him #how's that an ending? it isn't and it can't be #aaaanyway. me and my brand of overthinking as usual #asks #batman #joker #jarley #batjokes #my meta

i honestly think its baffling that to this idea you cannot easily change the font, font size and colours on websites. this should be such an easy accessability feature that simply isnt available, even though so many different people could benefit from it.

while there is the option to zoom, it doesnt help with font or colour choices.

and whats with this strange occurance the full titles of videos, articles, images, products etc arent shown? why are there so many different websites where half the words are cut off?

or for images next arrows being either extremely small, or even insivible unless you hover over them.

i do wear glass and while im not a kid anymore, im really not that old and yet i notice myself getting increasingly frustrated at websites.

not trying to see that things were better in the past, but they sure as fuck arent great now.

#tumblr too. like. give us an easy option to change the colours. idgi. #i mean i do get it obviously #website/image cohesion and one specific branding apperance #also these features do take nonzero work to implement thus more money #but i super hate it thanks #also im having a headache so im crabby and im blaming it on.... #on.... my..... computer......? #no... surely.... my mother couldnt have been right #errrr its capitalisms fault thanks

there’s something disconcerting about realising I’ve been into one piece for 18 years at this point. that’s so long. that’s an uncomfortably large percentage of my own lifespan

...............and also I’m still waiting for gin to show up again

#it's also super disconcerting to see ppl in fandom who got into one piece and just #got to whole cake island arc and read it? #bc it was there? #what do you mean you weren't part of the years upon years of speculation #when all we knew was that sanji was born in north blue and had a book on devil fruits as a kid #hell what do you mean you know the the other half of his face looks like #do you know how many old angst fics there are out there #lost to lj deletion and old school ffnet before they implemented filtering by characters for fics #bc we'd never seen it and maybe he was scarred or branded or blinded (still funny to me that zoro ended up blind in that eye instead) #sanji

In terms of bad design nothing saddens me more than fake vintage stuff. What are we, children playing pretend? Stop harkening back to a past that never existed. Own up to your modernity. There is nothing wrong with being new if something new is what is needed.

Been redesigning my business cards for the last few hours and planning a summer merch drop

What do I even call myself though? Title-wise; like "artist" feels so inadequate, but saying "teacher" feels wrong unless I specify sewing teacher. Merch artist? Multimedia artist? Multimedia artist & sewing instructor? Idk idk branding is difficult

What if ZXZ meets og!SQQ and then meets SY!SQQ? Like idk how that would happen because ZXZ is more liable to fuck off than stay at the peaks and cultivate. Especially because he’s probably as prickly as SQQ and like does not vibe with like. But there’s a legitimate swaparoo that happened and cucumber might remind ZXZ of ZYX based off of modern values?

(Also ZYX and ZXZ mutually cultivating eachother’s personalities/thought process just by reluctantly always being around each other and being set up as business partners will never not be funny. As TCF’s Ron said “even dislike turns into like eventually”)

uh... let's contrive for that to happen. zxz is reborn in sv and it's almost like a purgatory period (he fucked up a heavenly trial post-dbd)

luckily the world he's in is both complicated and simple, and there's clear ways to get past this trial (and there's growth for him to understand social contract and rules, when there's a clear contrast by having something explicitly governing behavior and narrative rules)

so he needs to stick around as the system's warden (the system's overall guarantee in case airplane!sqh fucks up too much) holy fuck he starts to develop hives, despite his high cultivation. just can't stand the qijiu dynamic.

and the rest of the peak lords' bullshit

("this whole realm is bullshit!" zxz screams into the night, on a solo mission.

"user 003's concerns are noted," the system replies in its saccharine, google maps secretary voice.

that. that thing. is like the worst of his infuriating shidi, with none of the (admitted) benefits.)

(oh. he'd pick up on airplane's airplane-ness, if airplane's sense of self-denial wasn't so strong that he believed his own bullshit. so zxz takes one look at airplane!sqh, ponders his own place in this trial, and it's a lesson learned from his last life to let it go. not his problem.)

it's less like doesn't vibe with like. the prickliness does not stem from the same source. zxz, for his bitchiness, does try to strive for the confucian ideal. he's pretty civic-minded. his sense of justice and judgment is not personal. og!sqq is a hurt person, of the lowest caste of society. society has let him down, and he doesn't have the same mindset. he's there to get what's his because it's a matter of survival.

(i guess zxz doesn't come across the way i intended, and half of it is up to me, and half of it is... readers are lacking generosity with him. that wouldn't bother me if it wasn't... well. i don't wanna be mean. but some readers have clear double-standards and lack of awareness about it.)

uh... i think based on zxz's training and past life, he's a shoe-in for qiong ding. his consideration for medicine and healing makes him mqf's secret favorite - zxz can always rely on mqf to support his actions bc the qian cao peak lord wants a future leader that will keep his peak and their duties in mind, rather than an afterthought

so yeah, zxz is on qiong ding, unfortunately he's yqy's gofer to poke sqq, sqq doesn't like him bc zxz's mannerisms remind him of lqg (which is... eh, lqg at least doesn't give zxz a headache).

(but the one time zxz was sent to retrieve sj!sqq discretely from the warm red pavilion, he was nothing but respectful even if curt to the women. he was upset, but voiced that it was because "shizun insisted, even though it would have been better to wait for shishu to return."

sj!sqq has been burned too much in life to dare reassess someone after only one neutral interaction)

zxz would rather not, but it's his life on the line if zxz doesn't interact with sj!sqq. he's developed a whole procedure on how to handle the post-qing-jing headache, so he's very attuned to sqq's mannerisms.

as soon as sy transmigrates in, he clocks it. everything sj!sqq does is like a cornered, wounded animal. and sy, no matter how terrified he is, is too... domesticated to act in that way.

no sy wouldn't remind zxz of zyx. (if you think zyx is like sy, then well fuck me i guess. and second, my whole thing on cultural differences and stuff - zyx cannot erase the americanness of themselves. their mannerisms are so deliberate because it's always an act to fit in. sy, yes he's acting as sqq, but it's not the same level of acting. it's like a spy rather than a human-skin wearing demon to zxz)

and sy's circumstances are different. again, i think airplane and zyx's behaviors are more similar, bc of the rebirth aspect and the longer term look at their new life, rather than sy's motivations. and even then it's not very similar.

also sy's motivations are so... immediate. the most complicated emotion he feels in sv is after the abyss.

both airplane and sy are people that work towards personal motivations (that's not a bad thing, it's just what it is). as much as zyx likes to complain that they want to fuck off into the ocean, they take duty pretty seriously. they are also pretty civic-minded. but their approach is what makes it incomprehensible to zxz.

anyways, sy!sqq makes zxz look at every peak lord going "yo we just gonna let this happen???" (unfortunately it sounds like zyx's voice in his head)

also, they need to be on qing jing more often, and with sy simping for lbh, zxz needs to see this shit in front of his chinese-equivalent-of-a-salad all the time

immediately clocks "that little guy is a freak." and wow he thought zyx was a freak. this lbh is a freak.

("can i poison him?" he asks his system.

"WARNING: Protagonist Luo Binghe must remain unharmed."

"... what.")

unfortunately, he doesn't have any superior on this fucking mountain as reasonable as the ones on shuangfeng. so lbh stays. and the entirety of qing jing makes zxz want to set the whole cang qiong sect on fire

(if zyx was here they'd be able to do it in no time)

eventually airplane and sy find each other, and find zxz. they believe that zxz is just super good at being in-character (they think he's also a modern guy bc he learned to adapt to their speech. fuck zyx)

"you're our bro too! best bros!"

"we're co-workers at best, shishu."

learning about the ending that they're heading towards makes zxz shut down. there's nothing he can do as a side-side character. the fate of the world rests on...

he looks at sqh and sqq. of all people, he can see through sy's aloof facade. and sqh is a mess, but his interiority is worse.

yeah, everyone's fucked.

=

sorry not sorry, this turned into a dbd-meta at the same time. i don't think i really talk about my characters' motivations much; it's interesting to see what people think of. it does make me worry that i'm writing something completely "what the fuck who does that???" but there's enough people that read the characters to filth that it's reassuring. and we're all people with different experiences, and i'd say 'human behavior' is a gaussian distribution. nothing is non-zero even if improbable.

i also find the concept of two people growing on each other like fungus due to mutual dislike very funny. bc zyx is very avoidant (again, if zxz left them alone we would not have half the trouble we have now), so zxz is pretty active to drive interaction. like and dislike are generally two sides of the same coin, as they say; the actual opposites are interest (both positive and negative) and apathy.

very funny (/s) of tumblr staff to make fun of twitter's dumb 600 post rule and then immediately make it so you can't look at more than 3 posts while logged out. same feature but somehow 200x dumber.

#trying to figure out why i have a bunch of ghost notes on my post when it was literally like #no you can't look at the notes of two posts you need to sign in teehee. god you guys are fucking annoying #i need to be signed out to see if its notes that i cant see bc of some blocking incident you stupid fucks -_- #i Literally cannot do what im trying to do while logged in thanks for making your bad website even harder to use and worse #avpost #like jfc what is this pinterest?? u think people will be enticed to sign up after only seeing like 3 posts?? #staff is genuinely so EMBARASSING. constantly mocking twitter and then doing the exact thing they mocked but worse #does literally nobody on the team have critical thinking skills or is this a case of some dumbass executive forcing stupid changes #that like the rest of the team knows are stupid but now they have to implement it #anyway watch how tumblr is going to try to rebrand to like. y.com and everything is branded on the letter Y #and while they do it they're still mocking twitter for the X thing while trying to copy it. they might as well be doing it atp
