Corinne's Randomness

The multi-fandom ramblings and re-sharings of a person who finished her PhD and doesn't have to feel guilty about not working on her dissertation anymore!

The U.S. government is taking people off the street and sending them to the place in the bottom picture without charges filed, no arraignments, no due process and without notifying anyone of the people’s whereabouts.

El Salvador intends to never release anyone from CECOT.

By the way, being kidnapped and removed from your country of residence without due process and sent to a prison in a different country (not your own) is not deportation. It’s extraordinary rendition.

It amazes me how the National Park Service is the most vocal department against Fascism. Even the Democrats are a mumble when compared to these park rangers' adamant denouncement and exposing of this administration. Support our bravest federal workers who keep our world one worth living in.

Can’t stop thinking of the fact that “boner” used to mean “mistake” 😭

Bucky: Steve can you help me out? I’ve got a bit of a boner going on right now.
Steve: Bucky, I’m busy. You can take care of it yourself; you’re a big boy.
Sam: Wtf??? Get a room???
Steve & Bucky: ????

(this has probably been done before but whatever)

🤣🤣🤣 If I'd known this during the Satchel Steve saga then you bet your duck butter I'd have used it. 😂Fabulous.

....just going to leave this here...

Okay the WEIRDEST THING is going going down right now

So some guy in Michigan in the US has just found a letter in his grandmother’s house; it seems to be a pen pal letter from 1973ish, and it’s from a young Welsh girl. In it, she lists:

  • Her name, and the names of her brother (Gwynedd) and sister (Catrin)
  • Their ages
  • Where she lives in Wales (Denbigh)
  • Her hobbies, including horse riding and reading pony books.

So this American dude decides to take a photo, whack it on Twitter and ask the only Welsh person he knows if there’s any way to track this Welsh girl down, because you know, ALL WELSH PEOPLE KNOW EACH OTHER, OBVIOUSLY

Except

I am furious to report that it has worked

Welsh person he tags doesn’t know, but takes up the challenge. Someone reckons the Catrin might be a woman who translated a hymn book once, and checks the foreword to see that the dates and ages do seem to be about right. Someone else suddenly has a brainwave - wait, isn’t she the mother of Steff, the comedian?

My husband gets tagged, takes one look at this letter, and is like “That is 1000% my aunt.”

So now it’s 20 to midnight, Steff’s aunt has obviously not yet seen the excited message to put Twitter out of their misery, and my mother-in-law is currently on the phone gleefully telling us that when that letter was written her sister had never sat on a horse in her life before, and she’d lied to an American pen pal for clout before the internet even existed.

UPDATE: the aunt has confirmed. She has given no comment as yet on the horses.

UPDATE 2: Local Woman’s Family Cannot Stop Dragging Her

There’s a segment in a bbc sounds show where a random Welsh caller is put on with the host and he had SIXTY SECONDS to find someone they have in common and he does it so very very well

reminder that if you ever meet a sweet, morally good, chivalrous knight: it's your most sincere obligation to corrupt them. "but my vows," this, "this is against the rules," that. if you haven't completely fucked up their entire code of conduct and destroyed all ability to discern right from wrong without you being the one to tell them by the time you're done with them, then you need to up your game. inside that pretty, rule-following chained dog of a knight is someone yearning to be set free of their self-imposed shackles, and it's your duty to help them get there.

Why else would they allow themselves to be shackled, unless they believed they needed to be controlled, that something inside them was already rotten and dangerous? All you have to do is convince them to hand over the end of their lead.

@sarahreesbrennan for some reason this made me think of you 😈

Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol

As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.

So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.

Seriously, this is extremely Rosa Parks coded. Good looking, religious college girl. It's the whole playbook. She also added this selfie.

I support her and hope this goes as well as it can.

Shoutout to trans women for being the only ones to do something actually politically radical with the recent trend of girlcore catholicism

Her name is Marcy Rheintgen

Marcy Rheintgen!

Disability is not a punishment, but I think the world would be genuinely improved if every person involved in writing or regulating ingredient labels was mysteriously inflicted with at least one food allergy falling under each of the following categories: "natural flavors," "modified food starch," "artificial flavors," "spices," and "color." Down with ingredient labels so vague that they defeat the entire fucking point.

If you don't have food allergies or other dietary restrictions, imagine you noticed that everything you buy at the grocery store had added "glunk" to its ingredient label, so you looked up what "glunk" was, and the first result was like: "Regulating agencies allow various food additives to be labeled as 'glunk.' The two most common types of glunk are delicious nutritious dietary fiber, and plutoniium-238."

Big shout out to all the aides and interns and others in Senator Booker's office who did the work compiling the letters from constituents, poems, and more, into the binders that he is currently reading from during his marathon. I don't know you but I see you.
