HOT

with a total inability to admit that he might be a good person. When he finds something good and beautiful (like idk love or a relationship maybe) he is desperate to hold onto it but also terrified of fucking it up.

crush him into despair, he strives to do what he can to help individuals. He feels immense guilt over his ancestors' crimes (and his own crimes) and part of him justifies it as the bad hand he was dealt, but he knows this isn't satisfactory so instead he throws himself into doing good where he can +

than he'd like to let on. But when his guard is down, he is curious, earnest, and desperate for affection and acceptance.

Ballard is jaded, but compassionate to the people he feels have been dealt a bad hand in life. He's very familiar with the injustices of the world but instead of letting it +

Atl is proud, hot-tempered, often defensive. He was raised as royalty, but trauma, rejection, and fear of not being enough has made him bitter and desperate to prove himself. Being sheltered and having next to no life experience outside of constant battle training means he is more naive +

Maybe I'm just smarter than Mike here but I can imagine a scenario in which both a pregnant American and an "illegal rabble rouser" both receive acceptable care because THATS WHAT HOSPITALS ARE FUCKING FOR

Lol a republican's nightmare scenario really is a woman and an undocumented immigrant receiving adequate healthcare and hospital's having less than maximum profit margins

and cultural barriers prevent socializing and information exchange. The humans are outmatched for survival and he considers his role as a bounty hunter as a mode of evening the playing field.

candidate. That along with the poor treatment of males in the Hive's culture leads to his exile. He still wants to help the Hive survive and prove himself as a leader, but he must battle discrimination and imminent danger to do it.

Ballard has been raised to see the bees as enemies of humanity+

When the Queen of the Hive dies, the next ruler is chosen by gladiator contest. Though Atl has serious qualms about the role of monarch also being associated with Motherhood, he competes anyway and would've been the winner, but his victory is contested because he refuses to kill the last+

For 2 years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, not one Palestinian voice has been featured on NBC, ABC or CNN’s Sunday shows.

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

The Hopi Tribe received a multimillion-dollar federal grant to install solar panels and battery storage systems for hundreds of homes. But the Trump administration has canceled the funding.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

and a community means to him.

Ballard wants to help save the Hive out of guilt for what his ancestors did to destroy the plant and also for how many bees he himself has killed over the years. He wants to balance his conscience and get some place to call home out of the deal.

Atl wants to lead the Hive because he wants to prove that he is still worthy after facing rejection and exile for his gender identity. A lot of it too is that he has been indoctrinated since birth to put the wellbeing of the Hive over everything, and he needs to figure out what a family +

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

I'm just a socialist hoping there's a place I can go where people can talk about free healthcare, bodily autonomy, and say fuck a lot while doing so.

The Ojibwe tribe is fighting to preserve manoomin, a wild rice in northern Wisconsin that’s under threat from a pipeline, climate change, pollution and invasive plant species.

You walk faster. When the birds are concealed by the trees, you feel uneasy, so you seek higher ground. As you climb uphill, one of the birds falls to the ground, dead, its neck broken. It collided with the dome above you.
