i wanna do both lol

for she ra i really think s2 needs to focus more on the princesses as individuals as well as their interpersonal relationships, because as of right now it's hard to really care about any character other than catra or adora without leaning heavily on analyses and headcanons. i think the show could use its simple plotlines to easily incorporate more character work, because the variety of princesses and their union really does seem to be what it wants to focus on as a selling point. right now the catradora relationship is the central focus of the story and everything else kinda feels like background, which is sad because the other settings and characters do have a lot of potential.

Is there a difference between a campaign and a movement? Absolutely!

Supporters of Oklahoma City candidate for mayor Dr. Ed Shadid can, and should transform from a campaign to a local movement that draws more public light to questions about transparency in government, open planning, and actual research in making decisions that will benefit all residents.

We just completed a tough, spirited campaign for mayor of Oklahoma City. One of our council members, Dr. Ed Shadid ran against 3-term mayor Mick Cornett. Many believed it to be a long shot due to Cornett being the darling of many downtown interests who contributed large sums of money to his campaign. There was even "dark" money that showed up for his campaign within weeks of the election that has not been traced back to anyone yet.

Shadid's supporters pointed to a hyper focus on the development of downtown with neighborhood development taking a back seat along with the voices of actual residents of Oklahoma City. They were concerned about plans to use massive monies raised with local sales taxes to build a new convention center and hotel without there being an accounting for how much future maintenance would cost along with whether that is a tactic that works anymore for cities. They were also deeply concerned for the lack of transparency in the decision-making processes in city government.

Shadid lost. It was deeply disappointing to his supporters but not surprising to the more dispassionate observers of the election.

The winners, however, could be the people of Oklahoma City in the added engagement of common folks in the political and planning processes of the city. This election itself has been no small thing:

1. More people actually showed up and voted for Shadid (15,739) than those who voted for Cornett (14,073) in the last election in 2010 where he was the winner. Arguments that this was a more contested campaign that pulled more voters out simply adds to my point: There was much more involvement this time.

2. Shadid has and will continue to be on the Oklahoma City Council where he continues to be in the public eye and a voice for the same concerns that were raised in the campaign.

3. Shadid's winning 35 precincts outright and tying Cornett in four others out of 235 total makes his support look small. Yet, anyone who is involved in any city's politics knows that 35 + 4 precincts of support is no small thing for a city council member to have.

4. Those who were a part of Shadid's campaign will not just move out of Oklahoma City now. Proximity and new relationships formed could contribute to added political activity and passion around the same issues raised in the campaign.
