Performative feminism is a most annoying aspect of our times.
These are good points!

Can’t stop thinking about how The Empire prioritizes subordination over competence.
Dedra FOUND Luthen. She solved the puzzle. She found a key part of the Rebellion. The Mastermind behind Aldhani. The guy who had a mole in the ISB’s inner circle for YEARS. But because she stepped out of line to do so she was thrown out. It didn’t matter that her insubordination was for the good of The Empire. The Empire lost one of their best minds because she hurt egos.
Anyways you know who would’ve loved Dedra?
Rook de Riva "oopsie daisies" to a world shattering incident x Lucanis "MIERDA"x20 to a minor inconvenience is canon to me
via NYPost: Immigration and Customs Enforcement is preparing to launch a “big f–king operation” across sanctuary cities — including Chicago and New York — immediately after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, multiple sources told The Post.
Starting Jan. 21, multi-day “ground operations” will be launched across cities that have served as safe havens for migrants because the local authorities do not cooperate with the federal government when it comes to immigration issues, sources said.
filmmakers and audiences and critics alike all need to start suspending their disbelief again
Calling all Brits on this hellsite.
We all saw Elon Musk do the nazi salute at the Trump inauguration. We know that he is influencing and fanning the flames of right wing political parties.
And that very well may include ours.
Because Elon Musk has pledged to donate $100 million to the Reform party. He has since mentioned that it might be hard to give such a large sum now.
But I don’t think we should take our chances. And I think we can agree that letting billionaires influence our countries politics is a terrible idea.
If you also agree here’s a link to a Parliament petition.
It calls for the government to remove loopholes that allow wealthy foreign individuals to make donations into UK political parties (e.g. by funnelling through UK registered companies).
As it is a parliament petition the government are required to debate it in parliament. But for that to happen it needs to reach 100,000 signatures.
Non British folk I’m afraid you guys can’t sign but I encourage you guys to reblog so that more people can see this.
They should’ve let tony gilroy have the 5 seasons of Andor he originally wanted so we could have stupid filler and had an episode dedicated to how Saw Gerrera and his crew obtained psychic sentient octopus Bor Gullet
Lucanis “It’s not enough.”
Rook “it is and you are.”
These are the most meaningful quotes from the romance lock in scene. Everyone complains that he just made Rook dessert. But this scene shows that Rook UNDERSTANDS Lucanis. (The player may not and that’s fine.) They see his attempt to make the meal for Rook. He is cooking everyone a nice meal as a thanks for the help with my tragic life but he makes Rook a dessert to match their favorite drink. He is trying to point out that Rook is special, that they all helped but it’s really Rook that he feel the need to thank and apologize to “for everything.”
And Rook, who knows his mind and sees straight through him gets it. They call him out and make him put words to the gesture. He tries and laments that the pastry, his words aren’t enough for them. But Rook disagrees. It’s not kisses or love declarations but that’s okay. The gesture is enough for Rook. Lucanis, as he is, is enough for Rook. They don’t push him for more, they don’t need more than Lucanis is willing to give.
For me, this is just a beautiful scene and a beautiful romance. Lucanis has learned about romance from books and he can’t seem to do it right. He tried for the suave wall kiss but couldn’t go through with it. He tried making them dessert but couldn’t bring himself to profess it. And Rook is just going with the flow, letting him set the pace and taking the pressure off of him to try and meet the crazy standards of what romance is that is set by others. I love it so much.
