Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton is amazing, although the follow up isn't as good.

Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time is also amazing, though, again, the follow up isn't as good.

If singular books are OK, there's Ka: Dar Oakley in the Ruin of Ymr by John Crowley.

I could give more titles because I love books from the animal perspective, but these are my sci-fi/fantasy recs. I also second Watership Down.

I'm not even going to try to type the name of this one. It's Estonia's contribution to this year's Eurovision and it makes me happy every time I hear it.

Apparently the chorus translates roughly to "Why no, officer, those are not our drugs."

So those polled voters indicate what they want in a poll. Yet those same voters elect (choose) the politicians (their representatives who speak for them) who want something different.

By that logic, everyone who votes for Harris supports Israel's genocide against Palestine. Voters make the choice they feel is best out of what they're given.

Because understanding people's motivations is valuable in figuring out how to reach them. But I'm obviously fucking up the circle jerk.

Are you serious? Because they lie. And because they demonize the other side so hard, their base will vote for them no matter what. For example, polling shows most republican voters are not in favor of extreme abortion restrictions. They want abortion up to a certain point and for certain reasons. But when they're told the other side is murdering full-norn babies, they go for what seems to them like the lesser evil.

This is an example of why I think it's important to distinguish between politicians and voters when saying *Republicans want X." Because what they want or believe are often at odds. It would help if we could convince the voters of that.

In one of my best photos 10 years ago I vaguely looked like Lana Parilla, so that would be awesome. Realistically, someone fat.

If nothing else, my family. I don't have a good sense of the future or life goals, so I keep myself moving by setting small goals. Plans to bake something, working on a painting, just little things around the home.

Thank you. I can't get certified humane eggs for less than $4, and I live in a low-cost-of-living area. I'm willing to pay more for them.

Is he depressed? Or is he a mess? Does he feel totally worthless? Who came up with person man? Degraded man, Person Man

Their families will be fine. They will just go out of state, or out of country if need be. The poor will suffer. So it goes.

The Postman by David Brin.

He was a survivor—a wanderer who traded tales for food and shelter in the dark and savage aftermath of a devastating war. Fate touches him one chill winter's day when he borrows the jacket of a long-dead postal worker to protect himself from the cold. The old, worn uniform still has power as a symbol of hope, and with it he begins to weave his greatest tale, of a nation on the road to recovery.

I've never seen the movie, so I plan to watch it after.
