We aren't fighting fascism right now

and most people aren't willing to admit that because they don't want to say

" I am invested in a world where I am UNABLE to wield certain privileges when I am uncomfortable"

This is why I'm saying to be careful what you say online. By all means, oppose this administration vocally, loudly, and publicly. Just don't snitch on yourself in the process.

Ok, so basically A’ja Wilson just decided Vegas is going to rule the W until she decides not too.

Because the Aces were mid until Wilson literally just decided they weren’t going to be and has *destroyed* everything in her path since.

Dominance isn’t quite the word.

So many sports ‘fans’ are so public about showing they don’t fundamentally understand sports.

If you’re white, there’s just nothing to talk about if you’re not showing up in material ways right now.

I don’t care who you voted for, what books you’ve read, or what podcasts you like.

Are you making a tangible difference in the lives of people you say you support.

That’s all there is to it

Pleased to note that we got a great decision yesterday in a case we are helping the Institute for Justice in here in Houston. I’m proud to play a small part in helping IJ fight this thing.

A few years ago, I created a guide for writing personal statements for grad school. I seem to have deleted where that lived on Google Docs. Does anybody happen to have a copy that they downloaded? Shot in the dark.

DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN x PACIFIC RIM

✨mecha dragons
🪐disabled protagonist
💜Mexican American diaspora worldbuilding
🌈bi love interest + an ex-BFF
🌌epic space opera
🐉a hivemind of corrupted dragons somehow back after centuries in an entirely new solar system—it's fine!

#DVpit #A #SF #Latine #DIS #LGBT

Moodboard of the evil hivemind of corrupted dragons. Everything is in red, there are three rows of three images, with a middle row having a text box in the middle.

First row: a broken red crystal, red filter spacescape, and a close-up of red crowing crystals.
Second row: red filtered snakescales (to stand in for robot dragons), text box that says: beware the Myriad, beware their crystals bright and red. Survive, survive, but don't let the Myriad take you alive. Third is a canyon crevasse in the shape of a menacing looking eye.
Third row: more angry red space scape and then a red filtered texture effect.

And I definitely want that context, so I’m gonna start from the top.

Ah, Judgment IS a part of the Yakuza series. I was really confused about that.

Like A Dragon was lauded in my circles, but I just didn’t want to hop in without understanding the context of the story.

So bc this is RGG (aka Yakuza studio) this is one of the games that has the Cabaret management simulator game

But it’s post apocalyptic

Do with this what you will

But you can also get the skin to play as kiryu

It’s Mad Max Yakuza is what I’m saying
