What kind of job/career do people headcanon Flora got when she was older?
The World of Professor Layton is so dismissively vague: ‘Oh, Flora climbed the steps to adulthood! Maybe she found a job or a boyfriend…’ Thanks, Hino.
Flora deserves better than that. I’ve seen some ideas that she becomes a writer, or she opens her own bakery or she becomes a travelling musician!
its between long horse and protoman.exe as my faves that have been revealed so far
To clarify: slavery as “punishment for a crime” is legal across the US. These 5 states are voting on making it ACTUALLY illegal, even in prisons.
These are NOT the 5 states I’d have expected to be on the forefront of “make slavery actually really truly illegal” and it’s a GOOD thing they’re trying to do.
So go vote if you can.
tl;dr, Five states have measures on the midterm ballots to remove the “punishment of a crime” exception that keeps slavery legal in the US.
The 5 states affected:
Alabama. If you live in Alabama, register to vote by October 24th.
Louisiana. If you live in Louisiana, register to vote by October 11th.
Oregon. If you live in Oregon, register to vote by October 18th.
Tennessee. If you live in Tennessee, register to vote by October 11th.
Vermont. Vermont allows same-day voting registration so there is no registration deadline.
Not enough spoons to add a video description right now, sorry! But the important bits have been included in the reblogs above.
only somewhat on this topic but this is why supporting “red” states is important. it does not escape my notice that AL, LA, and TN are all states with high populations of black and brown people who would benefit hugely from these initiatives passing.
I’m so burnt out from work that this little rat making music has me crying on this fine Friday night
[Video description: a TikTok by SpaceCaptainz, which depicts the filmer holding a miniature harmonica up to a rat, which snuffles curiously at it. As it sniffs the harmonica, its breaths filter through to create miscellaneous fast-paced notes.]
i haven’t seen anyone on tumblr talking about this and i think we need to
just to clarify what we’re seeing here:
cully pratt, chris pratt’s brother, a sergeant in the solano county sheriff’s department in california, openly supports the three-percenters, a far-right militia group with ties to the january 6th insurrection at the us capitol among other things, and posts their imagery online.
chris pratt hypes his brother, and has also been seen at public appearances wearing three-percenter symbols, thereby publicly endorsing this shit as well.
i’ve already seen people try to distance chris pratt from this, saying, “it’s his brother, not him!!” hate to break it to you, but when you are a famous person and use your platform to publicly display symbols endorsing far-right hate and white supremacy, that makes you culpable. he is at best completely ignorant, but that’s giving him a lot more credit than he deserves, frankly; even so, even if he actually is just ignorant, that definitely doesn’t give him a pass. there should be accountability no matter what.
The Three Percenters are more than just a right-wing militia. They are a terrorist group and are designated as such by the Canadian government. Here’s a partial list of some of the things they’re responsible for:
2017:
-Three Percenters firebombed a mosque in MN., narrowly missing killing & injuring dozens of members who are there for morning prayers. The Threepers responsible told police they wanted to “scare Muslims out of the country.”
-A self-identified “Three Percenter” is arrested by the FBI after unsuccessfuly trying to blow up a bank in Oklahoma City with a car bombed modelled after the one used by Timothy McVeigh.
-Three Percent militia member Tyler TenBrink fires a handgun at a crowd of people protesting an appearance by white supremacist Richard Spencer.
2018:
-Self-proclaimed Three Percent supporter Joseph “Dymond” Vinci - beats a homeless man with a police baton. When the man attempts to defend himself, Vinci shoots him dead.
-Three Percenter Joshua Daniel Miller shoots a 23-year-old man to death.
2020:
-Three Percenter Benjamin Jong Ren Hung, intentionally drives his truck into a crowd of protesters in Pasadena, California.
-A group of volunteer medics arriving to support a counter-protest to a “Back the Blue” rally in Fort Collins, CO are set upon and beaten by Three Percenters militia members.
-Thirteen men are arrested after a failed plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan and put her on “trial” for “treason.” At least two of the 13 are in the Three Percenter or Boogaloo Bois militias.
-After a pro-Trump rally in Atlanta, Georgia, Three Percent leader Chris Hill and over a dozen masked men rush a group of four counter-protestors leaving the area, hold them at gunpoint and beat them.
2021:
-So far 16 Three Percenters have been arrested for taking part in the deadly January 6th insurrection
Now what did I say???
Bringing back this post since Chris Pratt is trending again because of the Mario movie
Minecraft mob votes suck. I don’t understand why they still do them.
“Here are 3 concepts that we are considering adding to the game. It’s up to the community to decide which one gets added, except not really because some minecraft YouTuber us going to rally his army of impressionable 10 year olds to vote the worst one in. Also some of the things we are implementing in the update only really make sense if one of the mobs exists but since you didn’t vote for it that’s useless now. We will never revisit these concepts even though we already completely designed them and decided their behaviors and game functions”
