Confusion over whether American Samoans—who are U.S. nationals, not citizens—can vote in local elections is common in Alaska, says a community leader. “The people interpreting the laws don’t even understand the damn laws.”
Americans by Name, Punished for Believing It
In a small Alaska town, American Samoans face prosecution for voting in the only country they’ve ever known. They live in a limbo, created by colonial expansion, that now confuses even public officials—and has made them a new target for policing voter fraud.

A lot of self understanding can be gained by realizing that you have the texting equivalent of resting bitch face.

USA: "We won't allow a ban on conversion therapy because freedom of speech means harming kids is okay! Also, gender affirming care if we don't agree with the gender that's being affirmed is super bad not allowed no no stuff! No bias here!"

I am genuinely fascinated that the USA is blockading Venezuela until they return all "oil, land, and assets". Like. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be laughing right now. But. What?
WHAT oil? Land? And assets? Has Venezuela? Taken from the US?
I don't even. Just. What.

"Why does Malloria have a new LI every chapter?"
"Well. You see. The plot-significant reasons are abundant. Vast. So many."
"Like?"
"She fucks."
"And?"
"She likes to???"

Our stupid-conservative government (Japan) just proposed fully covering childbirth. In case the US needs to be reminded that even conservatives in most countries do more for healthcare than US liberals do.
It doesn't have to be like that, guys. I promise.

Seeing the Americans freak out about the possibility of stuff like free childcare in NYC, when Japan has been run by the conservatives foreeeever yet we have free daycare, socialized medicine, paid paternity and maternity leave... Like, it's okay not to be an ultra-capitalist hellscape, I promise!

I'm told I should post more about my writing and less about politics. Which. Okay.
It's basically just found family and the power of friendship and single-chili smut. 🥰
I say, nudging the revolution under the table, gently, so as not to be seen.

"A win for women!" Etc etc. I dunno, man. A far-right politician with a vagina doesn't mean much for women when they're, you know, a far-right politician.

Have you heard about how Greenland is moving to the northwest? Scientists believe this is caused by the continent trying to put more space between it and the US.

Japanese conservatives are the worst because they act like THEY'RE the traditionalists. No! You're not! You're the Americanized imposters! Get the fuck out!

I thought "The Coffin Club" would make a cool name for a bad book, but upon an association check, I found out that it's also a group for elderly Kiwis to make their own coffins before they die. Which is way more badass than anything I would've written, so never fucking mind.

Read about a guy from Nepal wearing his traditional hat on the train, and some ass told him to keep his foreign culture out of Japan. Really wishing he'd given the guy's suit a once-over then asked him where it was from.
Can we stop importing the worst shit from the US, please?

Remember when the default setting for feminism was "women are equal to men and the only barriers to that are social institutions"? And suggesting that women had to be protected from big, strong men who would crush them if they even crossed paths would like, get you booed out? Miss that.

The science of average book review scores are as follows:
Often, any book reviewed above a 4.2 is on-trend with average-to-bad writing. Any book below 3.0 is usually just objectively bad. While 3.8 is the magic number for finding something that is actually well-written and interesting.

Loving the freakout about "foreign bases on US soil". You know that the US has bases in piles of foreign countries? We have so many US bases in Japan. But that's fine in your minds... why?

Americans attacking comedians performing in Saudi Arabia is kind of funny when... Ignoring due process? Suppressing dissent? Murder? All bad. But also? Glass houses? Your President is using the DOJ to silence dissent and your Secretary of Defense is on TV all, "Fuck the Geneva Conventions, my guys!"

Best case scenario: EA has to start selling off that massive backlog of IP it's been hoarding. Maybe people who can actually make games without trying to manage them into mediocrity can get a chance with them. Can you imagine?
