Arania's Sanctum

ART FIGHT MAY RUN BUT I RUN FASTER.

like if your choices are a Nazi-loving rapist racist child-molesting fraudster whose sum principles are "hurt the vulnerable and make the worst people on the planet richer" and someone who just sucks in some aspects and you can't bring yourself to vote against the Nazi because you don't agree with EVERYTHING on the other person's platform, what good are you to anyone but the Nazis

"we should have better candidates instead!" yeah dillweed that's why you've gotta vote locally and in primaries

primaries are for voting your conscience, general elections are for voting your survival, grow the fuck up

and don't get it twisted, I blame the DNC for a lot of this too because they're so chickenshit of putting forward actual progressive candidates. they're cowards corrupted by Citizens United, there's no denying that, they're center-right but I would rather have that than ACTUAL FASCISTS

because again, if you can't be fucked to do the bare minimum and help keep whoever the KKK and Nazis are real excited about out of office because the other choice isn't enough of an uwu perfect cinnamon roll for you, you are helping the fascists gain power

the right wing doesn't have this problem, you insufferable clowns

they infight as much as the left does and they do so a lot dirtier but when it comes time to cast ballots they fucking rally

and given how much control they've gained from them doing that and y'all sitting on your bony asses pissing and moaning about not getting your Favorite on the ballot, you'd better start taking fucking notes

you're not "punishing" the Dems by refusing to vote, you're punishing ALL OF THE REST OF US

This is a cranberry bog (unflooded) it’s how cranberries grow. Once they’re ripe, the blog is flooded and the cranberries harvested.

His farm was on the leading edge of kinda using organic/sustainable pest control methods, and one of the things that they did to keep insect damage down was that they encouraged wolf spiders to live in the cranberry field, to eat the bugs. 

This was all fine and good until they flooded the bog. Now, you don’t just like flood the bog and then go around it in a boat or whatever. No, you use hip waders to get in there and put the big floaty things where they go and get all the berries and such.

Well when you’re in the bog in hip waders, that makes you the tallest thing. Wolf spiders can swim a bit, but they don’t like it, so they’re, quite understandably, looking to climb out of the water onto a tall thing.

So yeah the first interview question he always asked potential cranberry bog harvester hires was “are you cool with spiders?”

There’s the stuttering question. When he asked Louis if it was raining, it was to remind him that his memory is imperfect and can’t be treated objectively. There are holes in his story. He’s doing it so much with Lestat but never gets anywhere. Shouldn’t he have realised before now that he’s not going to get the whole truth from him? Not ever?

He took Gabrielle’s suggestion of asking about the great conversion so quickly and there was a kind of resignation in the way he asked. He barely made an attempt to get anything from him before that. Lestat has probably worn him down over the last two months, but there was a method with Louis. He was attentive to detail. He caught every little discrepancy. There’s been none of that with Lestat. He’s not even trying at all. I don’t think he can try.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.
