I know we all make jokes and memes about it, like ‘lol, Trump said we are the gender we were at conception, we’re all female now. 🤪’
but like
that doesn’t…scare you?
This is your administration. This is the knowledge that your government has….and they get high-school biology wrong. This law had to have been cross-read by several people before it was passed.
This is your government.
A bunch of rich fascists who don’t know basic science.
i am shrunken down and brought to the gnome world and when i attempt to assimilate to their culture I use an acorn cap as a hat and they all laugh cheerfully at my silly mistake of wearing what they use as a bowl like a cap and though this is a transgression that would have humiliated me in my human life I am instead laughing alongside them at my humorous misunderstanding
Life Series Winners as Ghosts AU:
Grian: The longest dead, died in a revolutionary war against a corrupted king. Stabbed in the chest. Overly critical of every other ghost in the house, self proclaimed leader.
Pearl: The daughter of a noblewoman who was married off to the man who owned the house. She was convinced that the two of them were in love until he strangled her in her sleep, just aiming to gain her inheritance.
Martyn: A pirate who used the house as a safehouse in between adventures, until he was found out and he was shot in the back of the head. Did try to usurp Grian as the leader of the ghost at one point, failed pathetically.
Joel: A nascar racer who retired in the house after years of continuous victorys brought him fame and fortune. Died when a rival put a bomb in one of his cars.
Cleo: A fitness instructor from the 80’s. Moved into the house with her two sons. Poisoned by her jealous ex husband to get back at them for leaving him.
Scar: Cleo’s son who returned to the house in the future to investigate the death of his mother all of those years ago. He’s driven mad by the investigation and he hangs himself, at least that’s what everyone seems to think.
Scott: The most recent tenant of the house. Bought it because the housing market is shit but Bdubs wanted to sell the house no matter what he got out of it because of all the bad memories it held. Tried renovating it and had the ceiling crash down on him.
Jimmy: The most recent tenant of the house. The ghosts are frantically trying to get him to leave because everyone who lives in the house seems to die. Jimmy however, doesn’t care what the ghosts say, because he just thinks he’s hallucinating.

What?
Decided to make a more thorough post of how my autism and other co-occurring conditions affect me. Took a bit so I hope you like it.
Hey y'all. It's International Holocaust Awareness day Both of these books changed me. Consider reading them or please share for someone else who might. It's never a bad thing to learn more.
Inside the Gas Chambers: Eight Months in the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz by Slomo Venezia This is one of the only books I've found that touches on the living conditions and viewpoint of a Jew from Greece. Reading it, the author felt like a friend. It was horrifying.
Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide this book explained people were taught to completely separate Jews from being human in people's minds in the years leading up to the Holocaust- especially in the medical field. It has interviews with some of the doctors who did these things. The site for the books also has an archive of images, films, objects, publications, recorded sounds and documents. You can find information on many communities. Thank you
The only bad thing about Gem and Joel's team up is, well, they actually have the means and the skill and the luck to do it.
But, you know, if a team makes it to the end, there can only be one.
And we've seen that except... they aren't the type to give the win to the other, they worked too hard, too proud of their skills, and it would feel like a disservice to the other to try and hand it off.
They aren't the type to sling bloody punches at each other in a cactus ring, begging for apologies and singing their sorrows.
They aren't the type to promise an honored deal with crossed fingers only to turn and twist and laugh maniacally as they betray due to the desperation of time ticking inevitably away
They aren't the type to twist bitterly and finally end up together, one reaching only finally so they aren't alone for the other to throw it away in what they think is what is wanted
They aren't the type to dance around and ignore hearing that the other doesn't want the win, ignoring it because they don't want to be alone only for the other to die silently without realizing and left wondering
No
Either of them could win. Statistically Joel has beaten Gem more than she has him, but that doesn't mean she can't win, Joel gets flustered easy. Joel tends to get more reckless and take the long shot that pays off, but Gem tends to flounder if caught off guard.
I think, if they are at the end there will be no promises or honor duels or gifted or taken wins, I think they'll just lunge. Not like a desperate wolf bites, but as an acknowledgement to who they are as people, bloodthirsty and fun and wanting to win. Maybe they will, at best, mention fight club and maybe negotiate the same rules, leather or no armor with wooden swords, but this is not an honor battle of forced apart partners nor is it a grief stricken apology to make the game end.
And I think one of them will die laughing as they go. Maybe disappointed but proud because they almost got the other and they did it together
If you are going to interact, please Reblog instead of Like. Likes do nothing! I appreciate it <3
