I am straight up not having a great time right now, to put it bluntly. The most insufferable, despicable excuses for human beings are crawling out the woodwork after St Elon emboldened them into being twice as evil and insufferable and amplifying them more than ever. The news is even worse.
I need to log the fuck off. I need a total social media and news purge to include the bird site, the lib news I am bombarded with and sadly, even the bear site, if only for a little while. I am actually feeling like I’m staring into the abyss right now, a feeling I’ve not had for the better part of a year, and it’s worrying the shit out of me.
I’ll also add that a lot of horror stories by King involve being scared/creeped out by people with mundane mental disabilities as well. It’s not exclusive to Stephen King either, there’s plenty of horror stories and films that revolve around “creepy kid with autism/personality disorder”
mon mothma sucking at congress is the show beating the (largely lib) audience over the head with the message that ‘ELECTORAL POLITICS WILL SOLVE NOTHING’
Completely agree, however the show is still portraying her positively and sympathetically, as if only there were some good old fashioned Rules and Institutional Safeguards she would be able to get her completely ineffectual legislation passed. I need her to pick up a gun and shoot someone in the face. To the character’s credit, eventually she does, but holy shit this will completely go over the audience’s head in the meantime
Andor please stop trying to make me empathize with Mon Mothma – she’s literally Space Nancy Pelosi and about as canonically effectual, I couldn’t give any less of a fuck please I don’t need to see her suck at everything and being a lib while still being presented in a positive light I see enough useless libs in congress every fucking day I don’t need to see them in fiction as well
I am totally and unequivocally pro-LGBTQIA+ rights
