I went to the No Kings protest. After talking to dozens of people, I noticed an interesting shift: Democrats no longer trust the national security state

"No Kings" Is About More Than Trump

Americans are rejecting the national security state

I don't even care that (allegedly) real actors consented to have their voices used for the title.

1) Actors generally want to act, not just have their voices taken
2) They will never be brought back in for repeat work
3) It will never sound as good as having an actor just DO THE WORK

Genuinely screenshotting this post as we speak to convince Ben we need this in our room IMMEDIATELY LOL

Omg this is a much more aesthetically pleasing and less confusing choice over my “I guess I’ll just own 4 identical laundry baskets—two for dirty, two for clean” strategy!

(And when I run out of space in the baskets the rest of the clean clothes end up in grocery bags which is e v e n W O R S E)

Hey everyone. A good friend of mine lost his father last night to a sudden illness...His family could really use financial support for cremation and healthcare expenses. If you can donate or spread the word, it would mean so much. I'll link the gofundme in the replies. 🙏

—feel capable of doing. But just know that as long as you’re doing something, anything, you’re helping. You’re making the world better bit by bit just being in it, and refusing to give in to doomer crap and nihilism ❤️

Just your regular reminder that every little thing you do helps. Even if you’re very disabled and can’t physically go out to protests, sharing info or donating or giving the homeless guy down the block some of your lunch are all helpful. Be politically active, or community active, or whatever you—

When you go to protests you’re going to encounter some corny and cringe people you’re not fully aligned with in various ways and I think that’s OK and not something to get Yosemite Sam mad about.

Jesse Hawken @jessehawken.bsky.social · 2d

seeing some centrists complaining about "internet leftists" and inferring that "winemoms" outnumbered them at the rallies today, can you stop making this all about you man? The people, united, etc

I don't think people voicing in 18+ content should be seen as taboo, nor do I think that it bar them from being in other media.

You mean to tell me that someone voicing in a consensual bonking scene between two adults is bad, but voicing a walking sexual harassment case in an anime is a-okay?

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Some people asked me if there was a way to donate to me directly. While I am extremely uncomfortable about this, a lot of close friends convinced me I should set something up, so I set up a ko-fi for those that expressed this. Please do not feel obligated. ko-fi.com/ashuraou

THANK YOU, BECAUSE SAME. I do it in empty parking lots, I do it wherever and whenever I’m driving. Having moments where you decide not to do it just breaks a good habit and leaves openings for it to not be done accidentally when you DO need to be doing it

OMFG I just got caught up and this man seems ADORABLE shfhhfhfhfhd I’m so glad he messaged u back wahhh!!! I hope things keep goin well for yall!! 🥹🥹💖💖

Not joking: I bought a physical word search book from the dollar store, and some sparkly highlighters, and every night now while I’m winding down watching shows with my partner I just do my word searches instead of being on my phone! It’s been a wonderful shift for me!

Godddd this is too much of a mood ;__; I still haven’t even caught up on Deltarune 😭😭😭

extra dialogue you get with her being your daughter. Like what an amazing story beat to get organically on my first run!!

IMO, the story of Awakening is at its peak when you play as a Robin who romances Chrom 🥲🥲

Cal Joyal @calvinjoyal.bsky.social · 6d

No idea why, but I remembered today how in my first playthrough of FE:A I romanced Chrom (I was still an egg and a basic lil kid lol) and I didn’t know anything about the story, so when I got to (spoilers) the part where Lucina confronts you to kill you, I cried SO HARD because of the context and

Undergoing puberty as an adult does not "ruin" your voice--there is much to mourn with the change, but I feel more at home in this voice even though I am rebuilding a relationship with it from the ground up all over again. I sound like *myself*. I am free to speak without policing the sound.
