one thing that I like texturally about Sonic is that, with the amount of characters that it has, when there's a character that only appears in a single game and you see it again as a cameo or in a Sonic Channel artwork or something it feels a little bit like seeing an old friend after a long time

ALSO: anyone who implies that this happened simply because brazillians are built different or are more progressive or whatever is both not applying materialism -and- being spiritually weak and a weak defeatist. YOU make culture every day through anything you do! fight!!!!!!

to expand on this: I think the net results of getting so many people mobilized and energized; going out in the streets and getting eyes on national & world politics, openly talking and engaging with others with an understanding beyond simple electoralism & focused on larger issues are immense

Compromise is a last resort, never trust anyone who tells you it should be your first. I hope for the next 4 years, what happened in the past few weeks will be the start of people perceiving politics as a verb, as a habit, rather than a spectacle and distant theater. As them as the main characters.

so so often we hear in politics, esp from progressive liberals, that all we can do is cheer for the guys up top and compromise on "difficult things". by the rules of "modern politics", that sees power simply flowing one-way from the top, this election would NEVER have gone the way it did

no matter what tonight's results will be, I'm immensely proud of the brazillian people for the incredible mobilization and energy poured in the last few weeks that turned a tired, depressed election, into one of intense hope and appetite for a bright future that feels within reach
