Robots who talk, show emotions, and communicate with one another being treated as disposable, non-sentient objects is really fucking creepy.
Only slightly more creepy than Anakin’s matter-of-fact understanding of his status as a slave, how his survival is dependent on his monetary value and the possibility of being blown up for disobedience.
Just as creepy as Qui-gon’s absolute failure to express any sort of serious ethical concern over his use of Anakin or the larger issue of slavery.
What does the arab in your carrd mean? Is it like afab and amab?

reading this deposition that just got dropped where someone sued musk and ohhhh my god it is this funniest thing ever . i can see why his lawyer tried to keep this confidential . they’re both maybe the biggest idiots . this is like ace attorney
THE THING IS, OBI-WAN ISN’T WRONG ABOUT THIS. It’s Anakin’s inability to let go, that he’ll engage in reckless and foolhardy behavior to save someone he cares about, that will lead directly to his fall, his loyalty to those he cares about over the safety of the rest of the galaxy is exactly what leads to the death of the Jedi and the rise of the Empire. This is why I love TCW so much–in pretty much any other story I’ve seen, the high-risk-high-reward type of behavior from the hero ultimately always pays off, that minor set-backs are eventually overcome and we’re meant to think that it’s the right thing to do. In and of itself, maybe we even should think that about Anakin’s style–I mean, who doesn’t want to get R2 back?? I love R2! Of course we should risk everything for him! But TCW doesn’t exist in a vaccuum, we’re aware that we’re watching Future Darth Vader here and knowing that changes a whole lot about the context of Anakin being willing to risk the safety of everyone else for the one he wants to save. And Obi-Wan’s definitely not wrong to try to get him to see the danger that lies in that kind of thinking–usually, the one who tries to hold the hero back is wrong, ultimately risking everything for friendship saves the day!! And it will this time. But one day…. One day Darth Vader’s going to do the same and it’s going to fuck everything up.
Straight girl: I like you so much, you’re so hot, funny, understanding… I wish you were a guy.

I feel so bad but i’m just sitting here cackling as my bestie is sending me increasingly exasperated texts about her students’ first research paper (1 page long lol). Like. Despite having deadlines for each stage of research and writing, one kid emailed her at 7:45 pm for the final 10 pm deadline with a question about “resurch.” Multiple kids have plagiarized their papers, one of whom didn’t even bother changing the font or the color of the sections he copied and pasted. One girl just cited a fucking fanfiction story as one of her sources.
Middle schoolers are so precious, but god they can be so stupid too. Darling children lol
