I’m writing a gay mecha anime protagonist right now. It is not going well lol.

The vibes for this election are so scuffed.

I don’t think Disney gets why Jedi dress the way they do. That’s in large part the fault of George Lucas who definitely didn’t understand why Jedi dress the way they do.

We meet Obi-wan, a former warrior monk, living in exile on Tatooine, he’s wearing this threadbare brown robe. Clearly, a lot of inspiration was taken from desert nomadic and ascetic religious traditions. Then what is Obi-wan wearing in Episode 3 at the height of the Republic era? The robes he was wearing for his 20-year desert exile on Tatooine!

Now a hundred years before obi-wan is born all the Jedi are wearing the same brown robes?!

I’m looking at the Acolyte costumes now and all the leather bits look totally fresh, no creases or signs of use. Are the jedi ascetics with a utilitarian dress code? How come they all dress like a desert nomad while they have their base of operations on a megalopolis city world? I don’t fucking know.

The show isn’t good, but not for the reason the reactionaries believe, and it’s not offensively bad.

Why shouldn’t there be an interpretive dance scene in some random little star wars show? Have we crossed some threshold here? None of the people criticizing the witch dance scene have even left their stinky gamer chairs in the last 10 years.

The costume work on this show is incredibly mid. I really dislike the mass-produced white Jedi order robes that they wear at the temple, they look maybe one step above a Jedi Halloween costume. We’re supposed to believe this is the Jedi Order at its zenith and the robes are just so drab without any character.

The previous commander assigned to this mission DID quit. The given excuse was “personal reasons,” but I think we all know the truth now.

Seeing these perennial $25000 per plate democratic event attendees posting on shitter how happy and relieved they are that they got to an event and didn’t see any protestors because the police had cordoned off so many streets surrounding the event.

No fucking way, dawg. These people don’t deserve peace for even a second. Not at their elite get-togethers, not at their homes, not at their workplaces where they do most of the evil. No justice, no peace.

Never been to any particular ‘Pride’ function but I was quite the slacktivist in the pre-Obergefell days and did my best to live openly and true to myself as I could back then as a queer-adjacent young person. In high school, I got several students on board with me participating in the Day of Silence protests. It really pissed off the admins and I got targeted for in-school suspensions all the time afterward.

And the part that I can’t get over is that all that energy put into expanding gay rights and queer acceptance has been for the rich gays to consolidate their assets. At the time I genuinely believed I was part of some rising tide movement that was going to change things. A decade out it seems pretty clear that the entire movement through the ‘00s and ‘10s was a sham so the rich gays could more easily hoard their wealth like straight couples do. The rich gays finally got to have their dream weddings all while the greater movement backslid and violence against trans and queer people has increased. So the rich gays hide away and start television ad campaigns to lie and condescend to the rest of us and say, “It gets better,” because, in their discrete experience, it does.

As it turns out it was always about class politics and there can be no gay/queer liberation without the rest of it.

Too dumb for the Marines.

My first “boyfriend” moved away because his dad got a job as a military pilot.

Oi! Where’s your Dunkirk spirit, mate? The bloody mole’s gone an’ floated awhy!

We should have done something funny to those boomer McDonald’s franchisee small business tyrants many years ago when they told us that working there for minimum wage was just a starter job for ‘unskilled’ laborers. The world could have been so much different.

The US uses incarcerated people to fight wildfires. These workers can be paid as little as $2.90 A DAY and experience injuries four times greater than professional firefighters and smoke inhalation injuries at an eight times greater rate. They are also typically ineligible for civilian firefighting jobs when released due to their criminal records.

Who are these entitled students to stomp all over the dream that school administrators of every level have been fighting toward for decades? Hold strong administration, your vision of a campus with no students, no teachers, only administrators. The perfect educational institution is just over the horizon!

Ours was sour cream-based. Don’t get me wrong, large kid out of southeast Texas, I could eat the fuck out of some red sauce and green sauce, that and a 1lb bag of chips and I’m dying.

We had this in Texas at some of the more inauthentic Tex-Mex establishments like Gringo’s or Casa Olé. It’s usually called “green sauce” or something vague like that. No one tried to pass it off as guacamole.

“Happy Birthday, Mr. Bloodfeast!”
