This Song Has No Title, Just Words & A Tune

He states:

He thought the group he had been added to was a weird, sophisticated hoax for the first week he was in it

When he started having suspicions it was real, he could not prove that this group was real or really had these individuals in it

He did not receive any specifics about anything until 2 hours before the bombings happened

He could not prove anything was going to happen before then but made sure that he was refreshing X/news sites to see if it was real - when he had that information, he left and immediately started contacting people to confirm the story

There is no way that an individual reporter would have been able to stop an illegal clandestine military operation by a very racist and hostile administration with two hours' notice. I know you want to be mad at him because you don't understand how real life works, but to act like this is a spiteful anti-Arab move on the part of Goldberg, who whatever you think of him is also quite often a critic of Israel, is straight up Qanon behavior. It's actually really impressive that this article came out within 10 days of this happening, because the Atlantic's lawyers must have been on every single word.

Continuing to be in a classified chat where he was not supposed to be, and added by mistake, after he realizes he was added by mistake, is in fact treason and does put himself and his family at risk. There is no arguing around this. This is just a statement of fact.

"It would be risky" are you a child? Do you have that little compassion for other people that you think that they should undergo such huge risks just to get you a news story? if you're so sure this is the price to pay for that, why don't you become a journalist and do that?

"I'm not advocating for recklessness" yes you are.

She’s been living her life scared out of her mind and walking on eggshells because one small slip up and a spirit attacks and she doesn’t know how it started and she doesn’t have any solutions beyond a temporary stop gap.

Also the adults with spiritual powers in her life are too busy to actually give her any proper guidance on how to handle the spirits beyond “don’t acknowledge them”.

Also her friends, with the exception of Yuria(Julia?) don’t know this whole other facet of Miko’s life, and even Yuria has a very limited ability to see the spirits anyway.

Also she’s dealing with what seems to be a death spirit, like, an EXPRESSLY death spirit, and the most advice she’s been given is “do your best not to look at it” which is so crazy when one of the things that’s established early into the series is that mischievous [and especially] malevolent spirits WILL use tricks to try to get you to look at them (eg the child with the balloon)

Also in my head the working theory that with the current spirit (‘unassuming middle-aged man’) it’s 4 strikes and you’re out (ie it starts ACTIVELY pursuing your soul) and Miko is already on strike 2 (4 cause of its association with death, the theory amongst readers that this spirit is a shinigami has been rampaging about my head)

Also the bigger spirit that escaped its binding after Romm, Miko, and Godmother finally put the shrine maiden to rest.

Also this damned ‘always on the side of humanity’ old man and the fact that the lengths he goes to are actually actively cruel and the fact that one of his tails knows about Miko’s dad.

The eighth floor of the building was able to telephone the tenth floor to warn them about the fire, but the factory on the ninth floor where these women and girls labored had no such communication and such warning.

The factory owners were criminally charged with manslaughter for actions that contributed to the mass deaths but acquitted. However, this tragedy led to mass sympathy to the labor movement, and unions spurred on safety regulations that passed in New York state and eventually the entire country, and activists were able to reduce child labor in the process.

They were discouraged from breaks because they were actively trying to unionize, and bosses felt that keeping them from unsupervised contact would prevent them from joining the garment workers' union.

This is why unions are important. This is why today, right now, the biggest companies in America are trying to squash unionization of their laborers and why those workers are fighting so hard to unionize.

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.

there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.

there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.

doing nothing is good for my soul.

i am not defined by what i produce.

my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.

i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.

Look at me like he can’t believe I exist
