You Heard Him Ladies. We Gotta Defeat Covid.

with the knowledge that sam specifically built the prison to mirror what tommy went through in exile, that explains the entire vibe that the prison.... was specifically made to scare tommy. not just because he once was supposed to be it's prisoner. but even as he walked those halls as a guest, the prison was meant to terrify him. the careful isolation in order to enter the prison- the only way out being through nether portals monitored and controlled by sam. having to drop all of his items when he arrived, just so he couldn't try anything. being killed over and over, even after he'd dropped all his items, just in case he had anything that could be used to fight back. sam's contract including a clause that stated tommy had to do everything he said without question, even if it meant killing himself, which put tommy completely at his mercy. (and even if he refused, sam could have just as easily killed tommy himself.) sam's words after poisoning tommy being, "I want you to be as low as possible and as weak as possible." forcing tommy to once again question his relationship with dream, out loud, to a friend he barely knows anymore. his unempathic march through the prison with tommy in tow, isolating him more and more with every locked room and fortified wall. and in the end, tommy's growing paranoia leading him to ask if sam would betray him, and sam's answer, "if I wanted to betray you, I would have done it already." no wonder sam felt off! no wonder he felt suspicious! in that moment, he was just as much tommy's warden as he was dream's. an uncaring overseer trained to keep his prisoners in their place. which makes it make so much more sense now that tommy was the first person to visit. it was meant to scare one person, and it did it's job perfectly. sam did his job as the warden perfectly. and tommy pushed through regardless. because today, tommy conquered more than just his fear of dream. he conquered his exile as a whole, and took one step further on the road to finally recovering from his trauma.

lmao I think the egg either just hates minors or people with trauma

laurae, a small Native farmer who built up her farm over the last five years, was served a 90-day eviction notice despite being promised by the landowner that she would be given a purchase agreement and the farm would never be sold to another person. Everything she has is in this farm - she’s put thousands of hours of work into it, built her cabin by hand, and invested every penny she’s made back into it. we are fighting to help her get the money to purchase her land before someone else buys it and kicks her - and us, her tenants who had no access to land without her help - off.

she ships her jams & honey, which you can buy here

you can also donate directly to the gofundme here

I know we’re all hurting right now and the world is fucked. but I love laurae and she’s done so much for all the people in her life. She has nowhere to go, no other options for a home, and no means to start over. she is a veteran, a survivor of multiple cancers, and close to fifty. all she wants is to live out her days on her farm till she hands it off to the next generation of farmers and I don’t want to see that simple thing taken away from her.

yeah so if u wanna support a disabled black nonbinary person that cant work rn due to a shitty psychotic episode, chronic illness, & being immunocompromised during covid:

the thing about brasilian ppl is that we love heavily and deeply, our language is one of poetry and song. we are masters of metaphor and lyricism in a way. that being said most of us do need mood stabilizers.

alicent feels the vibrations of rhaenyra kissing another woman and immediately goes to drown herself in the lake. real lesbian representation right there
