This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
Each of my WOLs is a specific part of Azem's personality, and that part is the core of who they are and where they get their power. Melodia is creativity, and she uses a blend of PCT & SMN. Uyanga is a sense of freedom, and she has a natural affinity for Wind. It's more favorite lore thing I made!
Hey fellow scientists, I'm just letting you know that if you're promoting something with some junky AI image, I'm not gonna click. You've got a workshop, a conference, a new paper?
Just not gonna bother. You want a bespoke image? Hire an illustrator.
Haurchefant doesn't die in any of my canons simply bc I don't want him to lmao. He gets injured, and decides to retire as a knight, but that leaves him with the perfect opportunity to join the Scions as a more supportive background member! He can fight if he needs to, but mostly he acts as Scion PR.

Has anyone pointed out to ICE agents that if they're arresting people solely to collect a bonus, they're not law enforcement officers. They're bounty hunters.
I look forward to all of them losing their jobs and being blacklisted from serving in law enforcement.
When she lived in the normal modern world, Lin was a travel photographer. She took photos of all sorts of places, for travel companies and tourism bureaus and stock photo websites and everything in between. It was more than her career, it was her whole life.
Itri would be a pole vaulter. Bc Dragoon. He wouldn't do any other track & field stuff, just pole vaulting.
Tonlist would be there with Veiga, making aure she has a nice Little Lady's Day. She would definitely be enjoying herself, indulging in the sweets and watching the musical guests. Meanwhile Tonlist would probably have some dialog about how she's growing up too fast and he's gonna miss this someday.
👀 ICE deported two U.S. citizen children with their mother to Guatemala, even though she had apparently elected to leave them with their grandmother in Florida.
The govt is now arranging their return under court order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The presence of ICE agents in and around medical settings is keeping some US immigrants—both documented and undocumented—away, disrupting care and putting their health at risk.

Sucks that the developer has to take legal action, and I'm wishing him luck, but incidentally Chained Echoes is on sale right now and I would highly recommend it.
Melodia, Uyanga, Galinda: She/her
Astre, Tonlist, Itri: He/him
Buga & Star: They/them
[BONUS]
Urania the Azem: Any pronouns, defaults to they/them
Melodia loves art, hence why she learned to incorporate Pictomancy into her Summoner repertoire. She only ever really copied things from books, and being able to speed-replicate images turned out to actually be very handy for Adventures, but she decided to finally start making her own art for fun.
First thing Star Song would do would be to fix their color blindness. Even if they could only restore a few colors, or at desaturated levels, they would be happy. Trying to live with only monochrome vision is actually pretty dangerous. But after that, they'd only use it in emergencies. And namedays.
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
ITS MONDAY AND U KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.....

While we're talking about Live Nation/Ticketmaster's sweetheart antirust settlement, a reminder that it paid ZERO federal income tax last year on $145M in profits— largely due to Trump's tax cuts.
Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.
Not you.
If you ever wanted to know why AI companies are trying to sell you so badly on the idea of funding their tech, there's actually an answer for that.
They're not Tech Companies. They're Multi-Level Marketing firms.
The computer equivalent of Neutralife.

Time is running out to save the life of Sonny Burton, an Alabama man who didn’t kill anyone.
Tell Governor Ivey to commute his sentence before his scheduled execution date on March 12.
If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
do yourself a favor folks, if you're 26 or younger, make a plan to dodge the draft. it's not making the problem about you -- the child you don't go overseas to kill will thank you for it in fact. and if it doesn't come to pass, better to have a plan and not need it than need it and not have it
There‘s a certain set of phrases that are primarily rhetorical resources to excuse inaction but which are often mistakenly treated as substantive policy analysis:
“it’s a complex issue”
“it’s a multi-factorial problem”
“it can’t be solved overnight”
“we have been trying to solve this a long time”
It's very frustrating, because what is the danger supposed to be?
In theory, it's regret, because we know there are no serious harms, there are only changes that could feel like harms if the person isn't trans.
But in practice they can't find the regret.
This was Melodia when she first accidentally summoned a Carbuncle, and she still feels the same way about her Buncles now. Luckily for her, the feeling is mutual, and a Carby Army would descend upon the world if she ever needed it.
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
I want yall to know that everything happening in the Epstein files is as American as Apple Pie.
What I mean is literally everything those affluent white men and women are doing to children is the same exact thing they did to slaves during the American Slave Trade. Welcome to my TedTalk.
