At least a year and a half ago, I made a jewelry set for PaiDa, a TX located kagai idol

Unfortunately the plan to see her and give it in person fell through

I was able to reach her and we discussed mailing, but that fell through too

So I will pass them on to other women so they can shine in them
A wrapped pendant* that is a bright rose colored wire, around a rose quartz round rock. The rest of the necklace is made of light green beads, inturupted in the middle of the bracelet by small translucent pink beads then green beads again A mostly lime green beaded necklace. In five places on the necklace, it's interupted by four pink translcent beads with a light green flower in the center of those four beads. In the background there's plastic tuppaware with African Jade beads in it

They're doing this for fun

Here is a link to the petition

sign.moveon.org/petitions/re...
The University of Alabama suspended publication of two student-run magazines on Monday, claiming that the publications were not in compliance with federal guidance on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs. UA officials Monday evening told members of Alice, a magazine focused on female undergraduates, and Nineteen Fifty-Six, a magazine focused on Black undergraduates, that they would stop publishing, citing their interpretation of a July memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi, which makes non-binding recommendations on compliance with anti-DEI policies supported by the Trump administration. “I was under the impression that we were protected from being affected by any anti-DEI legislation and rulings because of our First Amendment right to freedom of press, but it appears I was wrong,” Alice Magazine Editor-in-Chief Gabrielle Gunter said in a statement Tuesday. The University of Alabama has been dismantling spaces that serve marginalized communities on the campus over the last year and a half. After the Alabama Legislature passed SB 129 in March 2024, banning publicly-funded diversity, equity and inclusion programs and so-called “divisive concepts,” the university closed two dedicated spaces for the Black Student Union office and the Safe Zone, a space for LGBTQ+ students. In a filing in a federal lawsuit over SB 129 this summer, attorneys for UA claimed that reopening the spaces would constitute “unlawful discrimination,“ citing the Bondi memo. Attorneys for students and educators challenging SB 129 rejected the assertion, noting the Bondi memo was non-binding and that the spaces were open to all students, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation. Marie McMullan, the leader of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) Student Press Freedom Initiative said the organization is currently investigating the incident, calling it “deeply concerning” and “a blow to the student press in Tuscaloosa.” “The university’s decisions must respect the First Amendment rights of student publications like Alice and Nineteen Fifty-Six,” McMullan said in a statement Tuesday. A petition was started on MoveOn to reinstate both magazines saying the suspension is “a direct attack on free speech on a college campus and must be combated by all students.” As of late Tuesday morning, it had over 900 signatures.

Bad movie (yellowface), Outstanding soundtrack and (to me) an interesting story

When not thinking of the racial YIKES inherent in yellowface, the makeup is Outstanding

(Of course in thinking that one must remember the yellowface parts and wince hard)

What "loyal fans"? Lol I got about three Tops

Glad I have moderation on
OliviaBB (Guest) The comments section and the wider fandom spaces are becoming toxic because of the political slant being pushed in the recent chapters. We are here to enjoy a story together, not debate partisan politics, especially those associated with the divisive MAGA movement. I truly hope you can understand the damage this is doing, not just to the narrative flow, but to the collaborative, welcoming environment readers cherished. I'm begging you, please step back from this political crusade you seem to be on. Your talent is evident in the original core of the story; let that speak for itself instead of using the platform to promote a specific political agenda that hurts so many of your devoted fans.

The new rectangle in my life

(I've never been much interested in the anime (my Mecha anime of choice is The Big O and I still need to finish it), but the colors and specs got me. Mostly the colors, so many mechanical things are Boring, this is not.)
Mine own Negro hands holding a mostly purple device from the side, so you can see it say Evangelion x Hiby A mostly purple rectangled device that has a small slotted area (I have since hung a Revolutionary Girl Utena phone charm from it). There is a raised green part that says Hiby R4 and opposite it at the bottom there is a mostly black part with purple and green highlights that says EVA one and has the head and shoulders of a Mecha showing.

Platner acknowledged that his past comments and the scrutiny they’re receiving reflect an emerging reality of American politics: the permanence of online behavior and the difficult question of what accountability looks like in an era when every digital trace endures. “I think there is a place for [looking back], to a point,” Platner said. “But if we are going to just litigate every comment somebody makes on the internet, we will never have a politics that functions. I think the important part is, is there a believable story of change?”

This shit is Far less funny now, fuck him
Dunbar said he is “not an anti-vaxxer,” but testified that his children have not received any vaccines. He also told the jury that he believes the vaccine has killed more people than COVID-19, and that the vaccine was made with aborted fetal cells and contains “disease.” He also testified that six foreign objects have been found in the Pfizer vaccine that cannot be identified under a microscope. Disney’s lawyers called Dr. Glenn Braunstein, who had consulted for the company during the pandemic, and who testified that there is no live disease or fetal cells in any of the vaccines. He was also asked about the claim the foreign objects seen under the microscope. “Hogwash,” he said. “It’s a ridiculous concept.”

Fron Leah McElrath: "Machado has also expressed support for foreign military intervention to topple the socialist government of Maduro and personally appealed to Netanyahu for help with regime change in Venezuela. Trump has publicly praised Machado in the past." The post McElrath is quoting talks about how Machado praised Donald Trump as a "visionary" and approves of his military attacks on Venezuelans

I see we're not addressing the racial element in the article

"...been widely criticized for exacerbating segregation"
Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner for mayor of New York City, plans to end the gifted and talented program for kindergarten students at public schools if he is elected, calling for a major overhaul of a program that has deeply divided parents. Mr. Mamdani said in a statement that he would embrace former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan, announced in 2021, to phase out the gifted program for elementary schools, which has been widely criticized for exacerbating segregation.

This is terrible, but I'm not sure why this statement is in this

"ongoing military campaign" is a hell of a way to cover for genocide and crimes against humanity
Antisemitic incidents in the U.K. have soared following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel and Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza, according to Community Security Trust, an advocacy group for British Jews that works to eliminate antisemitism.

Re: Paralives Early Access on Dec 8, 2025

From their Steam page
Why Early Access? “Paralives was built with our community since the very beginning, and we want to keep working with everyone on the next steps of our project. As dedicated life simulation game fans, we created Paralives to bring innovations and a new take on the genre, whether it’s through flexible build tools, a character creator filled with customization, or new and engaging life simulation gameplay mechanics. Releasing in Early Access will allow people to play with the features and systems we have developed and provide us with crucial feedback to help refine and improve what we have into a truly great and unique experience. Because we are a small team and the breadth and depth of things you can do with a game like Paralives is staggering, we feel like this is the best option for us.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “About two years, considering all the features and content we want to add before we can say that we’ve hit version 1.0. We’ll also surely have to work on many other improvements and changes along the way. In short, this timeframe estimate seems reasonable to us right now, but it’s always subject to change!”
