“A federal judge has ordered Georgia Republicans to protect all provisional ballots and allow voters to check and see if their vote was counted.
“A federal court in Atlanta on Monday issued an order requiring the state to take a number of steps to protect voters who had to cast provisional ballots because of registration problems. Among those steps: Georgia officials must establish a hotline and website for voters to check if their ballots were counted; conduct a thorough review of provisional ballots; and provide detailed information about every provisional ballot cast in Tuesday’s election.
“This is a big win for the voters, Democrats, and Stacey Abrams
“Brian Kemp and the Republican Party have been trying to begin the transition and take power in Georgia by attempting to shut down the election. The Abrams campaign has taken legal action to make sure that every vote is counted and with the Democratic candidate roughly 20,000 votes short of triggering an automatic runoff, any ruling that helps to gets all the votes counted is a big win for Democrats.
…"Republicans went as far as to not provide power cords for voting machines in Democratic areas.The GOP tried everything imaginable to deny the right to vote in Georgia and they still might lose.”
➣ Definitely BIG news for today (11/13) in the Georgia governor’s race!
Count all the votes. End GOP voter suppression. Call out Brian Kemp for his coordinating crimes and election tampering.
One of the things Venom did very well that I’m really into is what I like to call Benevolent Possession.
This idea of sharing your body/head with another creature that’s on your side and actually cares about your wellbeing– and that sometimes you can just tap out and it’ll take over for you. I don’t care if it’s an alien symbiote or a demon or the ghost of a dead pharaoh or whatever, the concept tends to stay the same, as long as that other being decides that they like you and they want you to be happy and in good health.
Those times when you’re just so tired and you know there are things that you Need To Do but you know if you push yourself any harder today you’re going to fucking break down? Just hand the joystick to your buddy and let them do their thing while you disassociate for a while.
Get caught in a depression or anxiety spiral that you can’t get out of? No need to worry, you’ve got a bunkmate inside your head who is aware of the situation, and they’re louder and more persistent than the other voices in your head.
Pining for your ex? Good thing you’ve got a second opinion right there in your head telling you that it’s not a good idea and they don’t deserve you anyway.
Second-guessing what you wrote in that email to that very important person? Guess who you can ask about it.
Scared of walking alone outside for fear that something bad could happen? No need to worry, you aren’t alone, and if anyone tries to hurt you, your friend will f̶̨͉̬̜̹͙͈̍̂͒͘͞͠ͅư̴̦͕̰̞͛̈̄̾̇͢ç̧̛̦̱̫͌̆̑̆̿̚̚͜͢k̷̡̭̻̯͈͑̏̓̀̏̐͋̈̚͠i̸͈̤͍͚͔̙̹̙̮̿̊͂͒͋̇̑̾ͅn̷̼̮̳̥̱̊̉̋͒̄͗̌ͅg̷̺̞̠͎̼̙͉̬͉͌̿̽̒̓̚ ę̼͔̪̺̒͗́̈́̏ǎ̛̹̪̫̲͎̜̜̼̩̒̇̑͟t̩̮͈͕̰̎̀̽̽̀ t̴̡̼̬͚̞̂̀͊̾̒̃̊͑͜h̸͙̻͍͕͐̊́̋͢͡ę̖̟̬̟̰̫̭̖͔̾̃̄̑̍͘͠m̺̭̲͚̥̬̪̔̔̓̓̈́̅̚͡͝.
It’s just something that really appeals to me, you know?
This!
That’s a really good way of articulating this concept I’ve grown fond of through Greed and Ling from FMA and now Venom in the recent movie; and Benevolent Possession is a really good name for it.
@ all my writer friends – oh look it’s that trope we all keep doing!
What have you been rolling in, you dirty thing? *casually flips nature’s furry meat grinder on its side in slippery pit* TSK you even got mud in your toes, what a naughty beast
i am so confused that the puma is tolerating this
has it even heard of pumas?
look at the squinty eyes, it’s enjoying a nice grooming. :3
Can’t get this kind of treatment in the wild, after all. All cats love luxury.
Princess Diaries was the best not just because of Mia’s inherent lovability and the queen’s amazingness, but because all the little details and I’d like to take a moment to recognize some of them:
The Genovian staff’s constant facial expressions
Charlotte’s die-hard shipping of the queen and joe
The semi-believable international representation
All the side characters. The bus drivers and the reporter from the tiger beat magazine commenting on the “wet, sort of grunge loom hair do,” and the author neighbor and her ladies maids and the parliament members and the dudes that bang the stick on the ground and announce people
The continuity of string cheese
Running across the grass
Sandra Oh. Period.
Paolo. There was no money! Paolo spit on money! …but…there was some money.
I look like a moose. Yes but a very cute moose. Make all the boy moose go HUAAAA
the Prettiest giRL is riding in the STANG
What a pity we missed it at the party
Andrew Jacoby being such a gem of a human and them showing for like the first time in a major movie that you can have a passionate, hopeful kiss, without feeling anything
Them also showing that sometimes advice from your mother can suck (even the maids were confused tbh)
Lilly Moskovitz. Best friend to future queen. I don’t like you. …pleasure.
Mia with the orphans. I feel guilty having two homes while they have none. (And Lilly there as a professional looking support)
Lionel. Laughing when Mia slams Nicholas’ foot. I’m doing a background check on Olivia. *other two step back*
Nicholas’ uncle. All of his lines
Joe’s protectiveness of his girls
Mia and her grandmother’s relationships
The way you can see that while Mia is very much working on her grace and nobility and diplomacy, it’s clear that she is a 21 year old who lived the first fifteen years of her life as a normal American teen
Fat Louie and Maurice
The guards dancing
They’re smitten… while playing badminton…where’s my kitten
Elsie Kenworthy. I’d like to tell her what she can do with her eggs
Mia’s clutziness as not being something she grows out of
Nicholas’ growth throughout the film, especially morally
