since riot fest is coming up and a lot of bands we all like on here are going i just wanted to let people know about some of the shit around riot fest from chicago residents around douglass park (where riot fest is held)
the nature of the festival is that it completely shuts down the park for far longer than the fest goes on for in terms of how it ruins the grass the children’s sports teams play on (making them more susceptible to injury), the damage to trees and the set up and shut down time.
this also closes off green space in a poorer, majority Black and Latine neighbourhood. the disruption that attendees bring to the local area, including leaving a lot of rubbish, has also been exacerbated in recent years when many have caught covid at the fest, passing it on to the local community who don’t want it hosted there in the first place. locals have also struggled to get to 2 local hospitals with the amount of traffic it creates. (heatwave and summer smash have been moved from the park this year bc of the same complaints)
members of the community have now been protesting riot fest for 8 years. over the course of this time, they have spoken with the mayor and with the organisers of riot fest but to no avail
look at unetelavilllita on IG for more (and good article summarising the dispute here)

Before meeting Renee, Andrew spared with Nicky when he was angry.
Nicky is not prone to violence but wanted to learn how to better defend himself (and also sometimes his old tendencies came back and felt like he deserved to be beatedup, Andrew always noticed this and cut the sessions short). This is why a well punch from Nicky can send you to the limbo.

in "dolce", its hard to see if hannibal is injecting will intravenously or intramuscularly. if its im, then it should not have worked that fast, and also a terrible muscle to inject into (the armpit region? it looks like?) but if its intravenously, then i have questions because the only opaque drug you can safely give iv is propofol and its normally used to induce general anesthesia. which is great and all for surgical-remove-bullet purposes but propofol by itself is fast acting and unless will has another anesthetic on board (and ideally... some oxygen flow-by or via endotrachel tube because most anesthetics are respiratory depressants) he is going to wake up very quickly. also does hannibal just carry that with him or keep that in his safe houses Just In Case?

i keep thinking abt the love aspect of lisa and rly wish the campfire conversations had more positive interactions /without brad in them/ cuz a common interpretation i see that i couldnt disagree more with is that everyone in lisa is an asshole when all the companions are so different in personality and morals and shiet so how come most of the interactions turn out wrong cuz the better guys are either paired with brad or getting trashed on by the meaner companions or just plain got nothing it just doesnt sit right with me 😔😔
