this is a review for a truck repair center
this one was for a national museum
the alternative girl with pathetic boyfriend thing has to end
dont be insensitive. americans wear shoe in house in case they need to go get cheeseburger on short notice
just saw a chart with the gender options "male" "female" and "part-time/other" and i think i get what they were going for but i'm obsessed with the concept of part-time gender. clocking into my shift at the gender factory and brother i am not getting paid a living wage
it should be illegal to have a bus stop without any seating im 100% serious
and the seating should not be some hostile architecture to keep away homeless people. it should be comfortable and usable for the disabled, children, elderly, pregnant folks, and yes, homeless people too. there should be a covering to protect from the elements. and it should be easily accessible via pavement
American locked tomb fans (and broader but I've specifically seen it from yanks) are very insistent on not knowing that aotearoa is a real place. she's not a fucking yank she's a kiwi.
all those deeply emotional moments? every single person sounds like a kiwi. jod is literally māori and so is gideon. kiriona is a māori name. those bitches aren't yanks. other places exist aside from america jfc you don't need to make up american headcanons about them I'm going to kill
actually I'll say this in the post instead of the tags but i really really wish this stuff was talked about in the books themselves instead of ..... on Tamsyn Muir's Tumblr. like people made fun of jkr for her "actually bla bla bla is gay" and like.... it's kinda the same thing hey? like before nona it was pretty much only talked about on Tumblr. would also be nice if there was a bit more nuance than "māori guy in charge of a catholic empire" like that feels a LITTLE fucking tasteless given the history of missionaries in aotearoa. also basing isaac around the supersessionist Christian idea that Isaac foreshadowed the death of jesus is..... interesting.
not bashing Tamsyn Muir it's just..... iffy.
"Apollinaire Joachim Kyélem de Tambèla [pictured above] – the current PM in Burkina Faso – is a contemporary of Thomas Sankara, and worked alongside Sankara rebuilding the country in the 1980s. The fact that he was selected by the military government to be PM is telling of the nature of this movement. Tambèla is quoted as saying, “I have already said that Burkina Faso cannot be developed outside the line drawn by Thomas Sankara”. Among the first actions of Tambèla and the current Burkinabe government were lowering government salaries, restoring relations with DPRK, and expanding relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran."
Quote taken from an article on English Al Mayadeen
Very exciting direction for the country, honestly
Article also discusses the various insurgencies in the Sahel, the support for a union by grass-roots groups, and how France controls West Africa through the CFA franc and ECOWAS
I found a great article on Hood Communist that further details the prime ministers history, the government's commitment to Sankarist ideals, popular mobilization against the insurgency, and plans to create a larger African federation with Mali
I know there's (rad)libs itching to scream about these countries forming alliances with Russia and Iran to try and escape the yoke of neocolonialism so: sorry sometimes you have to work with reactionary capitalist nations outside the imperial core to try and overthrow centuries of brutal colonial oppression and extractivism. If it bothers you maybe you should try to stop your own countries from continuously fucking over African nations and militarily occupying them.
someone else could write it better than me but i love how the fucked up nasty shit you can make harry do/say/be in disco elysium isn't just like, random stuff caused simply by the player having free will and control over him but they're parts of who he is and who he has been
you're not a tabula rasa. you're a sudden shock of blank pages in a big, aged, damaged book and sometimes the paper you're trying to write a better man on is torn and you see something through the gaps nobody needed to see ever again. and it's just there now again, back to the surface
#the one that really got me thinking was how failing an authority check can make you call kim a racial epithet #even if you've played a vocally anti-racist harry up to that point #that line feels like the underbelly of a calving iceberg you were never meant to see #floating to the surface as the whole thing turns and rights itself #the joyous moment is over. the celebrations end #you stop dancing and you step outside with kim #you can profusely apologise #but that thing #that piece of harry before he forgot everything #it doesn't come out of nowhere #nobody just randomly blurts out something like that #it crests the surface #and then it's just... gone again #under the waves (via op)
