I think our guild is majority female miqote but we have a lalafell manager, a pair of au ra black and white mages, and there's a male roegadyn machinist. He's a diversity hire

The Sense of Distance: Japan versus the American Midwest
JoJo’s seventh story arc, Steel Ball Run, involves a race across America, but I knew that undertaking that journey by myself in one single trip would have been impossible. Instead, I split up the research into three sections: from the West Coast to the deserts, from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago, and to the finish line in New York. Each region possesses its own culture and is home to different types of people.
Without going there for yourself, it’s impossible to comprehend the feeling of scale of the midwestern United States, where the scenery stretches on forever and unchanging. The feeling of distance there is nothing like Japan. Say, for example, an enemy is approaching from afar – at such a distance that escape would be trivial in Japan. In the Midwest, the open landscape remains identical from one hour to the next, and I was struck by the real sense that I could never make an escape from such an adversary; there was simply nowhere to hide. I was able to put that experience to good use when it came time to draw the manga.
Travel there is mostly done by car. When you drive across those vast plains, the scenery is mostly devoid of any ups and downs, and is dotted only by the occasional town with nothing to claim but chain stores, seemingly little to provide amusement aside from watching movies, and you hardly ever see anyone else about. Rather than inspire thoughts of enjoying nature, it felt empty and lifeless and made me wonder if there was any fun to living there at all. A kind of atmosphere hung over these places that felt rich for suspense.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if the phrase "self care" doesn't resonate with you, try calling it "system maintenance" and see if that clicks.
Reblogging to add amazing tags from @meta-theory
#this both makes things more fun and also is a really good analogy#because there are four types of system maintenance and that makes the term much more exact than the nebulous ''self-care''#and therefore much more helpful to those of us who uhhh struggle with nebulosity#for anyone curious the four types are:#1. corrective (to fix current problems)#2. preventative (to avoid future problems)#3. adaptative (to re-adjust to any changes)#4. perfective (to work towards a better system)#I really like this idea I'm gonna make a checklist

one time this dude i didn’t really like told me something that has always stayed with me while we were discussing a recent political development in our country
“the people don’t care at all about this social justice stuff. they care about the price of gas and groceries, and will vote for whatever they feel is the simplest way to get those down.”
it’s been ten years since that and i’m still waiting for him to be wrong
#politics#uspol#arguably all politics actually but the recent presidential election clearly hinged on that issue#honestly feels like that's why a lot of singapore politics is so concerned and caught up with seemingly small price increases#or not so small ones - it is that price anxiety + need to see it reduced as much as possible magnified#of course in both contexts it's clearly necessary for people to feel financially secure and in control of that part of their lives#and if they don't feel in control of their money AND view the incumbent to being either ignorant or complicit in said powerlessness...
