Hope is what makes us strong.

FUCK PEOPLE WHO VOTED TRUMP. I hate you with all my heart and I hope you burn in hell.

but most importantly, FUCK PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T VOTE KAMALA HARRIS.

You thought you fucking did something by not voting, well guess what, this is partially your fault. You allowed this to happen. By not voting for Trump’s opponent, you let him win. I hope you’re fucking happy with yourself. Good fucking job.

Now everyone will suffer the consequences of your actions. Not only you americans, but people outside of the US as well.

You thought you stopped a genocide supporter, but you allowed another one, who by the way is much much worse, to come into power (AGAIN). You keep talking about how the system needs to be changed or whatever, and you joke about overthrowing the government, and that votes change nothing. Yet you don’t do anything. You want a revolution? Then fucking start one. Come on, change the system. Overthrow the government, go ahead. “Both candidates are evil and I don’t want either to be president!” THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Oh, you don’t actually want to do that? It sounds scary and impossible to achieve? Then you better at least fucking vote next time. Make a difference.

You achieved nothing, and only made things worse.

Trump voters on tiktok are EXTREMELY mad about the following:

You reap what you sow.

We warned them but they ignored us so, now they’re in their FAFO stage.

I hope they never find peace and live with regret of ignorance.

If TERFs were worried about women's sports... They would be campaigning for replacing the misogynistic Olympic committees that make unfair standards for female Olympic sports, they would support increasing protections for women sexually abused by coaches, they would fight for equal pay and media coverage for female athletes, and so on. Instead their sole way of "protecting" women's sports is by trying to ban all two trans women in sports from it.

If TERFs were worried about the welfare of female prisoners, especially "men in women's prisons," they would support banning male guards (who commit over 99% of the rapes of female prisoners), they would campaign for harsher punishments for offending guards (which would mean supporting Defund the Police and similar initiatives), and they would oppose the practice of guards facilitating the rape of trans women in prisons by giving them as a gift to well-behaving cis male inmates, with trans women who resist being charged with crimes to extend their sentence. Instead... they oppose Defund the Police and Black Lives Matter in general, and don't take any measures to actually stop the rape of female inmates, focusing on an event that has happened less than five times.

It's almost like they're disingenuous or something!

I think this sticker came out super cute \0/

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.

This act would make constitutional amendments to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.

Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!

ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.

This only takes a few minutes!

I have no idea if that many people will even see this…but I’ll try to clear some things up.

I own the Astarion “sex doll”, that’s technically what he is, but I like to call him a life size doll. If someone wants me to go into detail about the whole debacle about his head/the review I can, but he has a new/better head now.

He was not $20,000, he was $5,000.

I like dolls, & I wanted a big Astarion 🤷🏼‍♀️ He’s not a tormented sex slave, he just stands in my room lol.

It’s so crazy seeing how this is going viral, honestly I don’t even know what to think about it 😅 All the assumptions, all the crazy things being said, hah 🥲

I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw, a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently

Some types of unreliable narrator:

The Watson: is present for the event but does not have the same level of perception as protagonist

The Lemony Snicket: isn't present for the event, reconstructs the facts based on later research, can get things wrong or incomplete

The Ted Moseby: is present for the event but has romanticised and embellished their memory of it through nostalgia to an extent that you cannot fully believe it; is also prone to misremembering or outright forgetting details.

The Katniss Everdeen: is present for the event, is the protagonist, but is completely foreign to the world and out of their depth so they don't quite understand a lot of what is going on.

The Rose Quartz: is present for the event, but due to their personal agenda or feelings of shame hides and embellishes what actually happened in favour of a version that paints them in a better light.

The Big Brother: overwrites what actually happened in favour of propaganda.

The Jonathan Harker: is absolutely clueless about what is going on around them and the genre they're in so their perception of events is tinted by their own naivety.

The Goob: the narrator's own emotional bias clouds their judgement of what really happened.

The Tyler Durden: the narrator is suffering from hallucinations and doesn't realise it.

The Pi: the narrator has survived a traumatic experience and copes with it by turning it into a wonderful tale.

Everyone is the unreliable narrator of their own lives.

EVERYONE! IS THE! UNRELIABLE! NARRATOR! OF THEIR OWN LIVES!!

No, I'm not going to be gaslit into giving conservatives grace on this, actually!

EVERY Trump voter is at least one of: sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist.

Maybe they don't know they are, and maybe that wasn't their primary motivation to vote for him. But it is a trait they ALL share.

so sick of the “gen z is the future” rhetoric because the white males my age are some of the most misogynistic people I know, and that’s the tip of the iceberg. they adopted the mindset of their fathers and their father’s fathers. they care for them and their kind

At this point I don't know what's worse between the US voting system or the italian one that has like a million different parties and lets the one that gets only the votes from less than 30% of half of the population to win

We're both in the hands of fascists now

The same men who think women shouldn't be allowed to have abortions are the ones who think men should be able to sever their financial ties to the woman and child and stick her with the costs. Men can flee responsibility, but not women

The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man. They encourage contempt and hatred as one way ticket to not being included with the masses being death marched to poverty or imprisonment or whatever other bitter end surely awaits the people they’re told are beneath them. An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves. They’ll vote for and align themselves with anything for a taste of power and control that makes them feel a little less helpless. The same goes for minorities. They’ll punch down if they think it’ll get them somewhere, even if in reality they’re punching sideways. I don’t know what else to say, really. Everybody is so incredibly hateful. We are a loveless, disrespectful nation. We are so spread thin by our government that we would sell each other out in a heartbeat for an ounce of relief. This is what we’ve come to.

It’s not even about Trump at this point. He’s gonna get in office and do whatever he does and it’s gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem. This is just the ugly consequence of the already present reality in this country that we all just despise each other. There is no solidarity and there is no love. Trump being in office or not doesn’t change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred. Trump has given people a shining example of how to give in to the worst parts of your human nature and make it the problem of everyone around them. I don’t even know what we’re supposed to do about that. I don’t know if that’s something we can come back from. And if anything COULD be done about it, Trump certainly wouldn’t do it. Honestly, Kamala probably wouldn’t have either. We are so deeply fucked.

However, I must say, if you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person.

Love yall. Shit is so bleak but the world keeps spinning until it doesn’t, I guess. We can’t count on the government for literally even a shred of progress or hope so just keep up the good fight in your own personal lives. That’s literally the only thing to be done at this point. Stay safe out there. Maybe buy a gun.
