in a not too distant future

- Had zero stations for water on the 26 mile (42 km) course

- Accidentally gave North American competitor Tom Hicks a cocktail made of egg whites, brandy, and actual fucking rat poison

- Had a guy come into the race late wearing a beret and cutoff slacks, sneak into an apple orchard during the race because no food had been given to him for 40 hours, eat rotten apples, projectile vomit onto the track, fall asleep for hours, and finish in fourth place OVERALL because most of the other runners collapsed of exhaustion or injuries

- Conducted the race on a dusty road, which caused so much dust to be kicked into the air that an American runner somehow inhaled enough to tear his STOMACH LINING open

- Accidentally released feral dogs onto the track

Do I think Graham Platner is an ideologically committed Nazi? Probably not. I don't he has any real political commitments, truthfully. I think his highest allegiance is to power: he is attracted to symbols that affirm his masculinity, his spot at the top of the hierarchy. He wants to feel like a big man who can throw his weight around and have the people in his orbit understand that he is more important than they are, and symbols of Nazism give him that feeling. He is probably an anti-Semite, just because someone with his pathology needs a strictly defined out-group to prop up their own self-worth. He wants to act without consequence, whether those actions are tattooing hate symbols on himself, throwing a girlfriend into a room and locking her inside to avoid an argument, or forcing his way into a woman's house and raping her.

near as I can tell they think werewolf Jax is supposed to be this fucking thing:

I contested it. because I'm pissed. but apparently they can seek legal action against me if they want. in order to protect the sanctity. the brand identity. of Pro-Ana Family Guy.

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience
