Been on this planet 23 years and I still don't know how to make a bio (Sky, he/him they/them) My AO3 is SwordsandBones

Finally made an AO3 account. Only a few fanfics on it rn, but there's more to come as go though all my drafts and WIPs. To start it'll mostly be fluff centered around lumity and glimmadora but eventually I'll start posting some smut and more mature content for other fandoms (looking at you Locked Tomb) and OCs.

Anyways I'd be honored if anyone reads my shit, hope y'all enjoy.

You can find me on AO3 under the name SwordsandBones

Also while we’re here I want everyone to appreciate that This

This wild, wonderful, beautifully animated and heartfelt queer story started here

Here, on tumblr, by an art student who was wrestling with his identity, mental health, and religious trauma

Tell your stories, kids, you never know how many people will thank you for it

Amazing how "the American government is a system of checks and balances" has evolved into "the check and balance is the Supreme Court, which can strike down anything at will, and you mustn't even discuss the Court, itself, having checks and balances upon it, since that would be tacky".

I can't stress enough: there's no law saying you can't add justices whenever. There's no law saying a Supreme Court justice has to have legal training at all, even. You could add a dozen explicitly partisan hacks onto the court to vote a certain way, and it would be 100% legal. Or you could, you know, add one or two judges. We're letting all this happen since it would totally make us feel icky if we did that, and also we've decided that "checks and balances" doesn't mean a system on all three branches, but merely one branch having total control of the other two with no input allowed except voting for new additions

It's also bizarre how this depends on just...not noticing the Supreme Court as it is now? People decry its decisions, decry how it's tilted in favor of conservatives, decry its corruption and how its decisions are basically just party-line votes with no coherent legal worldview behind them, and then turn around and say it's an austere institution we must not politicize or turn partisan.

Matilda (movie) remake where Trunchbull looks like one of those hyper feminine bleach blonde Republican women you see on talk shows as the token girl/eye candy. And then Miss Honey is a soft-hearted, handy, tie-wearing Butch.
