Ellie's Otherworld

it is the other girls who rejected her, who ostracized her. who made her abandon her doll.

And this is important to understand part of the game's themes: Hinako had been teared apart into two a long time ago.

It's not just that she is being forced to choose between obeying society's expectations of her as a woman and abandoning them outright to reach her freedom. It's that choosing either will also private Hinako of a half of herself.

it's only by rejecting the notions that a woman has to be either/or and giving her the freedom to choose her path while being able to be herself as a whole when she can begin a path towards a happy future.

And whether that future might include a marriage or not. it is a marriage done if, and only if, that is the marriage both sides legitimately want and if it is done as a choice between equals.

looks like the hole's getting bigger...

I’m not dead and I got a new sticker!

Just an extremely Normal thing to say

Reminder they want to increase the budget for ICE from 3.5 to 45 billion dollars.

Reminder the majority of that will be for building new detention centers.

Reminder ICE are *currently* detaining tourists who can pay for a plane ticket home and people with visa issues that were already resolved, because they have to make quota so Trump can brag about the numbers going up.

Reminder most of these people were already in the immigration system - that's why they were easy to detain.

Reminder this is all at taxpayer expense.
