Sithis can't let us lose man, we beat Jevil once and we can do it again ✊
Evil Clown Contest Finals
Remember, the contests I run are double elimination. You have to lose twice to be out of the running. That's why Jevil is going against Cicero a second time.
It's perfectly tied right now, the competition is Cicero's for the taking, and by Sithis, WE'LL TAKE IT GODS-DAMNIT

Everyone's freaking out but...
The new Spider-Man far from home trailer dropped and everyone's freaking out.
HOWEVER, what if it's set just before Infinity War?
In infinity war Peter's class were on the bus, maybe returning from said trip? I certainly hope so...I refuse to freak out over not seeing certain characters in a TEASER TRAILER.
While you all go about in a panic ( truthfully you shouldn't, remain calm until the endgame release is closer, hang in there a bit longer) I shall sit being sitting here cuddling my Iron Man plushie...hoping he gets his happily ever after (not ending, I need him to live and be happy with Pepper and have that baby he dreamed about damnit).
No paywall version here.
"Two and a half years ago, when I was asked to help write the most authoritative report on climate change in the United States, I hesitated...
In the end, I said yes, but reluctantly. Frankly, I was sick of admonishing people about how bad things could get. Scientists have raised the alarm over and over again, and still the temperature rises. Extreme events like heat waves, floods and droughts are becoming more severe and frequent, exactly as we predicted they would. We were proved right. It didn’t seem to matter.
Our report, which was released on Tuesday, contains more dire warnings. There are plenty of new reasons for despair. Thanks to recent scientific advances, we can now link climate change to specific extreme weather disasters, and we have a better understanding of how the feedback loops in the climate system can make warming even worse. We can also now more confidently forecast catastrophic outcomes if global emissions continue on their current trajectory.
But to me, the most surprising new finding in the Fifth National Climate Assessment is this: There has been genuine progress, too.
I’m used to mind-boggling numbers, and there are many of them in this report. Human beings have put about 1.6 trillion tons of carbon in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution — more than the weight of every living thing on Earth combined. But as we wrote the report, I learned other, even more mind-boggling numbers. In the last decade, the cost of wind energy has declined by 70 percent and solar has declined 90 percent. Renewables now make up 80 percent of new electricity generation capacity. Our country’s greenhouse gas emissions are falling, even as our G.D.P. and population grow.
In the report, we were tasked with projecting future climate change. We showed what the United States would look like if the world warms by 2 degrees Celsius. It wasn’t a pretty picture: more heat waves, more uncomfortably hot nights, more downpours, more droughts. If greenhouse emissions continue to rise, we could reach that point in the next couple of decades. If they fall a little, maybe we can stave it off until the middle of the century. But our findings also offered a glimmer of hope: If emissions fall dramatically, as the report suggested they could, we may never reach 2 degrees Celsius at all.
For the first time in my career, I felt something strange: optimism.
And that simple realization was enough to convince me that releasing yet another climate report was worthwhile.
Something has changed in the United States, and not just the climate. State, local and tribal governments all around the country have begun to take action. Some politicians now actually campaign on climate change, instead of ignoring or lying about it. Congress passed federal climate legislation — something I’d long regarded as impossible — in 2022 as we turned in the first draft.
[Note: She's talking about the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Act, which despite the names were the two biggest climate packages passed in US history. And their passage in mid 2022 was a big turning point: that's when, for the first time in decades, a lot of scientists started looking at the numbers - esp the ones that would come from the IRA's funding - and said "Wait, holy shit, we have an actual chance."]
And while the report stresses the urgency of limiting warming to prevent terrible risks, it has a new message, too: We can do this. We now know how to make the dramatic emissions cuts we’d need to limit warming, and it’s very possible to do this in a way that’s sustainable, healthy and fair.
The conversation has moved on, and the role of scientists has changed. We’re not just warning of danger anymore. We’re showing the way to safety.
I was wrong about those previous reports: They did matter, after all. While climate scientists were warning the world of disaster, a small army of scientists, engineers, policymakers and others were getting to work. These first responders have helped move us toward our climate goals. Our warnings did their job.
To limit global warming, we need many more people to get on board... We need to reach those who haven’t yet been moved by our warnings. I’m not talking about the fossil fuel industry here; nor do I particularly care about winning over the small but noisy group of committed climate deniers. But I believe we can reach the many people whose eyes glaze over when they hear yet another dire warning or see another report like the one we just published.
The reason is that now, we have a better story to tell. The evidence is clear: Responding to climate change will not only create a better world for our children and grandchildren, but it will also make the world better for us right now.
Eliminating the sources of greenhouse gas emissions will make our air and water cleaner, our economy stronger and our quality of life better. It could save hundreds of thousands or even millions of lives across the country through air quality benefits alone. Using land more wisely can both limit climate change and protect biodiversity. Climate change most strongly affects communities that get a raw deal in our society: people with low incomes, people of color, children and the elderly. And climate action can be an opportunity to redress legacies of racism, neglect and injustice.
I could still tell you scary stories about a future ravaged by climate change, and they’d be true, at least on the trajectory we’re currently on. But it’s also true that we have a once-in-human-history chance not only to prevent the worst effects but also to make the world better right now. It would be a shame to squander this opportunity. So I don’t just want to talk about the problems anymore. I want to talk about the solutions. Consider this your last warning from me."

GUYS. there is an INFLUX of rise awareness and literally there will be NEW CANON DROPPING NEXT WEEK. I FEEL IT. LET’S DO THIS BOYS.
The fact that one of the writers for Rise is pushing the hashtag, AND implying that we can get more if the comic does well is SOMETHING!
Support the comic if you can! Let’s get our boys back on that screen! We were SO CHEATED!
Keep on voting, PLEASE, we can do this! #saveintheflesh
us giving eachother motivation to write (help me finish duality) (i’ll help you defeat writers block) (we can do it together big sis ily)
me @ writers block WE’LL DEFEAT IT AND GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER I BELIEVE IN US
Don't think it this way that you'll have to "let him go" no. This is the time you cherish him more, love him more and wait. And when he returns he'll give all the love back with interest. Don't be sad they wouldn't like it. Just hmu hit me up when you feel sad. Cause even I feel like crying these days. Ik, its so tough even the thought of having to go through this again and again for ALL my boys is tough. But the actual time to not let them go and hold them tight in our heart. To remember that they're there for us like we are there for them too, in mind and heart.
Idk why am I writing this, maybe to get things off of my chest, but I just can't yet believe Hoseok is going already. we knew, we were ready but to actually go through the process of sending them off is so tough that I am not sure how it will leave me.
Being a introvert, I hardly ever make friends. I don't even want to meet new people and get to know them. I get absolutely 0 calls and texts from anyone other than my mum and dad. It is only @phenomenalgirl9 , who hits me up from time to time. hence, BTS plays the biggest part in pushing away loneliness from my life. And Jung Hoseok is practically someone hard to explain. He means so much to me that there are not right words to put it through. That man is not just an idol to me, I mean I am going to tattoo his name so.... yeah, he is a lot more.
Now letting him go like this, letting all of them go one by one, is tough for me. It's so damn tough. Idk what to do. I'm feeling extra emotional (maybe because I am on my period). I don't wanna work today. I wanna bang my head on my cubicle until my head cracks and cry out loud at the same time.
Please. I need thus so bad. You have no idea how much I would SCREAM and LEAP for joy if this happened
How epic (pun intended) would it be if when we got to Sea of Monsters and Annabeth tells Percy/Percy thinks about the Odyssey in relation to the quest, we got footage of Jorge Rivera-Herrans and the EPIC cast during their quest, and maybe even some songs? "My Goodbye" about Athena and Annabeth? I know it can happen.
Today my mother made me go to the beach. And while I was there I let myself enjoy the water and sand between my toes.
After a little while I felt like crying.
I felt like crying because remembered the videos I had seen of Palestinian children playing in the water of their beaches, of parents chasing children around while they laughed, of people enjoying the water and feeling the sand between their toes.
Then I thought about how these people don't get to enjoy their beaches anymore. Because Israel won't let them, because Israel is bombing the families who used to play in the sand.
When we got in the car my mum rolled all the windows down, said something about the fresh air. And as we drove I felt the cool wind against my face, in my hair.
And I wanted to cry.
Because the people in Gaza don't get to just enjoy the fresh air. Because all they're breathing in is debris from destroyed buildings and white phosphorus, and the smell of the dead.
I looked out my window and saw my old school as we passed. And I felt guilty, because I dropped out. But their are children in Palestine who are crying and begging to go back to school and they can't.
The children in Gaza can't go back to school because Israel has destroyed and bombed them.
And I think about the displaced people taking refuge in those very schools while Israel attacked them. I think about how unfair and cruel that is.
And then I see the trees. My favourite trees, Gum trees that are native to my land. And I think about how the native trees in Gaza are being destroyed and bulldozed, very important trees that mean a lot to the Palestinian people. And those trees are being taken away by Israel.
Then there are houses, homes and people going about their day. I watch them from my car window and I want to cry still. Because the people in Gaza have no homes, they don't get to go about their day.
I think about the displaced people in Gaza, who are lucky to have a tent to sleep in. Because Israel has bombed their homes, rained white phosphorus above their homes, bulldozed over their homes, forced the Palestinian people to flee from their homes.
I'm barely holding in my tears, because I'm in the car on the way to my own home and the people in Gaza don't get to do that.
We pass the shops, and my throat starts to close up because there's people buying ice cream and groceries for their families. And the people in Gaza are being starved by Israel.
The people in Gaza don't get to have ice cream, they can't do their grocery shopping. They don't even have enough food for their own children because Israel refuses to let any aid trucks in, because they control all the borders and entries into Gaza.
We pass by a chemist in particular and I think about all the children in Gaza not being able to receive medical care. Because the hospitals are being attacked by Israel. Because no medical aid can get in. Because they have doctors being killed.
And then we pass by the park. The park is empty. And I think about the empty parks in Gaza. Because there are no children to play on the swings, no children to run and laugh. Because the children are crying instead. The children have no legs to play because they've been bombed. They can't laugh because white phosphorus has burned through their faces. They can't do anything because they are frozen in fear.
Theses children who should be filling up empty parks are holding their baby siblings, trying to keep them alive because their parents, aunt's and uncles, have all been slaughtered by the IDF. These children who should be laughing are screaming out for help because members of the IDF are raping them.
These children who should be having fun at the park are prisoners of Israel for throwing rocks at tanks like the boy David who threw a rock at the giant Goliath to save his people. And these children are being tortured in these prisons because they were hopeful and brave.
These children who should be with their families at the park are dying. Are dead. A lying beneath the ruble. Are cold and limp with no air in their lungs. These children are in pieces scattered across the blood drenched ground.
They should have been at the park today.
I can hear a man talking on the radio, and he's talking about unimportant nonsense things and I feel angry. I feel frustrated. Because why is no one else talking about this!? Why is no one talking about what's happening to these people!??
We pass by the fresh water creak right before my house and I want to scream! Because I know there's no fresh water in Gaza. I know there are Palestinians dying of dehydration and yet there is fresh, drinkable water running right there! But the water in Palestine has been polluted by blood and disease, and the seawater Israel has flooded their water supply with.
And when I get to my bed I finally scream and cry and punch my mattress to get all my emotions out.
Now I'm numb and writing this so that someone will see it, hoping that someone will understand, hoping that someone will fight even harder for the people of Palestine.
I'm hoping that they can enjoy their beaches again. I hope that's sometime soon.

SOBRA.
Reciprocated man o hindi, sooooobrang sarap magmahal. Sabi nga ni Paulo Coelho, "Those who love expecting to be loved are wasting their time. Love is an act of faith, not an exchange." Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam kapag nasa verge ka na ng pag-amin sa kaniya, yung tipong isang mahinang bulong na lang, bibigay ka na. Sabay susubukan mong pigilan, pero lalo lang mahuhulog ang loob mo sa kaniya. Literal na breathtaking. Salamat sa Diyos at nasuklian naman yung feelings ko para sa kaniya. Pero kung hindi man ganun ang nangyari, hindi pa din ako mananawang magmahal. :D
Ang sarap sa pakiramdam ma-in love, ano? :)
We are soul mates, kindred spirits, on a deep, fundamental level I believe we were made for each other. Who cares if we make each other mad occasionally. The universe planned our existence. That has to count for something.
