Watching FMAB again. It always blows my mind that Ed's voice actor is a woman. What a talent. The scene where he's being pulled through the gates, telling Al to wait for him is one of the best bits of Japanese voice acting I've ever heard. I really love that scene.

not one of these pig bitch nazis has ever had to deal with a fiftieth of the flak any given trans woman catches just for being trans, but the government would like you to believe that getting your feelings hurt is sufficient provocation to shoot unarmed people in the face while screaming slurs
"We've seen over a thousand percent increase in assaults on ICE officers, 8,000 verbal assaults on them...."

Coverage for Gaza has died down recently, so I wanted to remind folks that lots of people are still struggling. The Gaza Soup Kitchen opened its 14th location recently, and they are accepting donations. If you have some money to spare, please consider sending some spare funds their way.

Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

I've been making these lists lately and I'm finding it's working really well, especially if you're a discovery writer (i.e. an idiot) and can look at this list and quite quickly figure out which of your existing characters suit these traits based on their personalities.

just got out of an uber. the driver was telling me how he has to work 16 hour days, seven days a week, at two different jobs to afford rent. he doesn't have healthcare and he worries about retirement. "i would feel a lot better if we owned greenland," he told me. then he cried.

I love how my bf will just run out waving his arms and be like: TSAR NICHOLAS THE ONE THAT FUCKED UP SO BAD THEY DID A REVOLUTION. WHAT WAS HIS WIFE CALLED?
Me: Alexandra, why?
Bf: Wasn't it Catherine?
Me: No...it was Alexandra. Why?
Bf: [Name] wants me to read Anna Karenina.
Then withdraws.
