"i saw your name in the kudos list of the devil's sacrament"
Okay, but what were YOU doing in the kudos list of the devil's sacrament? 👀
SO MANY of you asked for it, so here it is✨ Crowley's version~😺🖤 (you're not ready for the ESSENTIALS down below🤭)
Introducing: Crowley (cat). I imagined him as a stray, who walks at your door after you adopted Azi and, suddenly, you find yourself with two cats in the house✨
Crowley's Essentials (other than Aziraphale)✨ he's very needy~~
ps. can we just take a moment to consider a potential future as a pet supplies designer? I mean, look at the BENTLEY.
✨
Should I draw more of them? let me know~~

As someone who was politically conscious for the Carter, Reagan, Bush the Elder, Clinton, Bush the Younger, Obama, Trump, and Biden Administrations, Today's Democrats are nowhere near as regressive and conservative in the aggregate as policies championed by either Bush I or Bush II's administrations.
Anyone selling that snake-oil is demonstrating political and historical illiteracy, or is myopically focused on a small degree of overlap when it comes to foreign policy and the defense of this nation, or is deliberately lying to you to spread propaganda delegitimizing our system and depressing your desire to vote so that Trump and his Project 2025 cronies will win and institute their authoritarian Christofascist regime.
Yep. Was a kid during the W years. Holy SHIT do some people seem to have memory-holed those ones, even people who lived through them. A handful of fun:
--W worked hard to try and get Congress to set in motion the process of getting a constitutional amendment against Gay Marriage ever being legalized. ELLEN being out of the closet and having her own show was a big deal back then.
--worked hard to get Congress to pass the most permissive version of the Patriot Act possible, allowing spying on American citizens and their communications (yeah, that's been controversial since the start! part of how Rand Paul, yes that one, got into office was being against it!)
--No Child Left Behind, which FUCKED schools by introducing two stupid metrics: every kid MUST be on grade level or your funding is cut (no exceptions, special needs, traumatic brain injury, no parental help, nada, NO EXCEPTIONS), and the school's scores must continually improve or funding is cut. I went to a very good elementary school that routinely scored as high as was possible. Funding was cut since we did not "improve." Funding cuts then led to the schools getting worse (no duh) and this led to more championing of private schools, exactly as planned
--LIED to our allies to get them to join us in Iraq. This literally destroyed our credibility on the world stage along with Colin Powell's career (he'd been considered a VERY trustworthy man beforehand). Took Obama forever to get us out of that war AND get any credibility back internationally (the latter of which the GOP scorned as an "apology tour")
--Appointed both Alito and Roberts to the SC. Fun fact, Alito was the SECOND choice, he'd wanted Harriet Miers but she was so unqualified she eventually withdrew her nomination because even the GOP wouldn't vote for her extreme self! And then look who got thru under Trump...
--Deferred payment on BOTH wars he started to cook the books so the debt only kicked in under Obama, which Obama was blamed for. This also started the current debt crisis since there'd been a surplus under Clinton
--caused the Great Recession via MASSIVE deregulation of the housing and stock markets, proceeded to blame the people given the mortgages they couldn't pay for instead of the swindlers who gave them said mortgages AND blamed anti-discrimination laws for "making" the poor banks gives out bad mortgages to poorer people
--the Bush Tax Cuts, which Obama was forced to make permanent by the GOP congress as part of a deal, ALSO massively drove up debt while being a giveaway to the wealthy
--started Drill Baby Drill which Trump is still running on today. hell, in Conservative areas you couldn't mention Climate Change (then called Global Warming) at ALL because it was insulting to the president and his agenda to do so
--Claimed we faced a so-called Axis of Evil in Iran, N. Korea, and Iraq. We are probably lucky he managed to only go to war with the last one, but it drove up tensions with the other two to a level we'd not see again til Trump kept poking Kim to see if he'd nuke us
--Was infamous for claiming he "saw Putin's soul" during a summit when the war in Chechnya was still ongoing and later we'd have the Russia-Georgia war
--W is known for being very charismatic and personable despite his unfitness for office otherwise. HE dislikes Trump and even called his 2017 inauguration speech "some weird shit" to Michelle Obama. He has pointedly never been seen supporting Trump in ANY public way. That is NOT NORMAL. Former presidents are often ambassadors for their party and potential successors. What's normal was Bill and Barack at the DNC. Not a PEEP from the Bushes at ALL about Trump. It'd be like the Obamas all sitting out several election cycles.
--Post-presidency, the GOP has done all they can to act like he never existed, to the point of conservative voters often blaming Obama for things he did to the point of "where was Obama on 9-11?" (answer: not even a Senator yet!) being a common refrain from GOP voters.
--also later investigations have essentially shown he was a daddy's boy being led around by his father's friends to "avenge" HW Bush's loss and perceived failure to "go after" Saddam post-Gulf War, so....yeah. Even without 9/11 they'd have found a way to get into Iraq
--was in some ways a proto-Trump with the whole "if you're against the President and what he does, you're un-American" thing being in its first form under him. That then metastasized to the Trump-worship we have now and the right's concept of "real America."
HELL NO are today's Democrats ANYTHING like that!
If you think all this isn’t bad enough, he also started the TSA.
Yes, that TSA.
The one that basically strip-searches you for “national security” but has proven to be less effective than regular metal detectors and is basically there as an intimidation tactic.
I'm not upset discussions of Sally Ride these days don't leave out the fact that she was a lesbian and therefore the first known queer person in space (albeit a fact only known after her death), but I hate that the fact that what is left out is that she, while part of the Roger's Commission after Challenger exploded, was the whistleblower who made sure the information for the defects of the O-rings made its way to Richard Feynman, who then famously, publicly, and on camera demonstrated how icy coldness (such as the cold and icy weather the morning before Challenger launched) could critically deform the O-rings used and keep them from forming a seal. This was also only revealed after she died. (x)
Whenever Sally Ride comes up these days among my (overwhelmingly queer) friends, we all acknowledge that she was a lesbian and celebrate what a role model she was not just for girls but for queer kids (and adults) too, but everyone is always surprised when I bring up the whistleblowing thing, which I think is damn shame and a disservice to her legacy.
I am not taking a risk
Not risking it pals
U know what I want potato of luck
Damn right I’m reblogging. See previous post re wrath of whatever from high atop the thing.

This is not like a fully completed thought but yk
So I've done my first aid + CPR a few times. And every single time I try and bring up scenarios for fat folks
Specifically like 'what if someone is too large for me to wrap my arms around then to do the heimleich'
And its incredibly rare I get a decent answer.
How absolutely insane is it that me, as a fat person, is asking how to have MY life saved or to save ANOTHER life, is an impossible feat if someone is fat.
Most of the time they tell me to 'just try anyways uwu'
There has got to be a better option.
From a first aid and CPR trainer, who is also fat.
The heimleich is scientifically as effective as slapping someone VERY hard on the back. The only reason it's so well taught is the man that invented it did a lot of great PR for himself. It's also a bit easier for smaller framed people to get the necessary force in, because people are often extremely scared to hurt people, even in life threatening situations.
With larger bodied people, whether they be fat, tall, muscular, etc. If you cannot get your arms around them, literally just slap the shit out of their shoulders. You want hard, open palmed slaps right in the center of the shoulders or slightly below.
If they are too tall for you to reach that high, guide them to lean over the back of a chair, and then slap slap slap slap slap.
It's been proven to be just as effective through many studies. It just doesn't have a trademarked name and a dramatic effect in film.
If you have to do CPR on a larger bodied person, again, fat, body builder, tall and broad, whoever, the trick to finding where you want to put your hands if going to be to take your hand and shove it in their armpit. No seriously. Put your hand in their armpit, then drag it in a straight line towards yourself until you're in the center of the chest, then put your other hand beneath that one. This is where you push. Then you are going to move the arm closest to you out of the way so you can get closer to them, and get the leverage you need to press down for compressions. The more of your body weight that is over your hands, the better the compression will be. Act like you are trying desperately to pack the last of your clothes in a suitcase, and just slam down hard on their chest.
They will make *horrible* noises. You might even break ribs.
But a broken rib is better than being dead.
One day, perhaps, other CPR and First Aid instructors will actually know and teach this shit. But the medical field is filled with people who don't know, don't care, or just outright hate fat people. So while this information won't fix your complaint, I do hope it helps someone out there with saving their loved ones, should it ever be needed.
*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...
but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu
this has been a psa
i've had this as an idea since 2017 btw
damn, tumblr says my art is ass and trans people is eye strain so no blaze for me :\
it'd be a shame if this...
blazed the old fashion way...

This is the kind of shit you see in anime that shows that a certain character is stronger than other characters.
“Pathetic. You can’t even hold the bat you dare step to the plate? Have you no respect for the sport?”

Oh my god this is a lucky universe
every time this post comes around, my favorite part is the “I know it’s the Mets” qualifier at the beginning lmao like how baseball that this zillion note posts starts with “sorry for putting this hellteam on your dash, bUT”
Y’all have no idea how hard I was trying not to laugh in class at that poor bird
