it is kind of funny trying to find fanfiction for a show w traumatized characters literally every third tag will be like insert character here needs a HUG insert character here needs to go to THERAPY ! like sorry but if you truly want to see characters you love getting hugs and going to therapy you may as well watch a different genre of show..... what even is the point of a tragedy if you're not twisting the knife. nobody wants to write abt their favorite character getting shot and stabbed and knocked out by their father figure and shaking covered in blood before their lover anymore

Inspired by my coworkers being baffled at me getting up 2 and a half hours before I come in despite living 20 mins away

(Add reasons why you do or don't get up early in the tags if ya want)

Representation matters

Leftist infighting right now is especially not needed

The amount of name calling and finger pointing and jokes about moving to another country and how much you hate the Midwest and the south and how many of y’all know where the food bank is?

No I’m being so dead ass do you know where the food bank is? The homeless shelter? Do you know the name of the domestic violence shelter near you? Do you know your neighbors???

Last bit I’m adding to this. Whenever I start talking about community a LOT of y’all get confused thinking I mean people in your vicinity who agree with everything that you stand for. I don’t. I’m sorry. I mean your community. And I’m talking about the goals of said communities.

I originally put this in the tags, but FindHelp.org is a great place to start! It is US-based specifically tho. You put in your zip code and it'll give you information on organizations from housing to medical care to transportation to volunteering and more. It has filters so you can look for local, state, and national organizations

the americans going "i need to leave to europe" and especially the smug europeans saying "america needs to fix its racist, climate change denier voters" are operating on an advanced model of cognitive dissonance. sir starmer's landslide labour country was gripped by race riots a few months ago and handed out five years to climate protesters. nearly every far right party in europe is first or second with youth voters for both genders: RN secured about a third of both 18-24 and 25-34 age groups; young men across the continent said they would vote trump by massive margins. tusk barely beat back orban 2.0 in poland, and his immediate reaction was to double down on fortress europe—something all other parties are doing. EU politicians are so averse to public investment that this fear blew up the german government yesterday.

there is nowhere to run, there is no country "safe" from the global far right wave

something i've noticed that has become really annoying in the past 10 years or so is this fad of what i've been calling, for lack of a better word, "structural whataboutism." it's that thing where, when faced with a concrete, resolvable problem in your community, your answer is to blame it on a vast, unsolvable issue of structural inequality and then throw up your hands. "there's trash all over the ground in this corner of the park" becomes "well, that's where MEN OF COLOR congregate after their 12-HOUR GRAVEYARD SHIFTS and i'm not going to support a CARCERAL SOLUTION to a CAPITALISTIC PROBLEM. WE NEED TO ELIMINATE POVERTY AND THE SUBJUGATION OF THE WORKING CLASS" and it's like okay but sis. someone still has to go pick up the trash. we don't need a carceral solution, we need more trash cans. you're not going to eliminate poverty and the subjugation of the working class and even if ya did, there would still be trash on the ground. how any of this passes for radicalism within their peer groups i simply don't understand. it's radical laziness more than anything else

Sometimes I do ship something and it's not unpopular its just that fanon harbors enough popular misconceptions to make the content frequently unreadable. So I will be like "can I have my ship please" and the internet will go "sure! here are a thousand results!" and I will go "is it actually my ship or is it some guys who are basically totally different characters in all meaningful ways that someone is having masquerade as my blorbos?" and the answer is yes often enough that I give up

16:9 TV is homophobic.

Bring back 4:3 so the actors have to nearly kiss just to be in frame again

I named no shows but this has already been reblogged with the tag #star trek

Try standing this close to someone who without them thinking you're going in for a kiss, I dare you.

MEN SHOULD STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH OTHER MEN AND LOOK DEEPLY INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES

(women should do this with other women too, #feminism #yuri)

I kinda want to make a side blog that's just pairs of men or women staring into each other's eyes up close, but it's just because they're in 4:3, the only aspect ratio with built in homoerotic tension

4:3 is "there's only one bed" of aspect ratios.

there is only 4:3, so they have to stand so close they can almost taste each other when they speak.

Have some 4:3 Star Trek Yuri:

See? 4:3 is the best aspect ratio.

Listen. Steven Moffat listen to me. I need you to tweet "actually johnlock was always intended to be endgame" on the day after the 2024 presidential election and then turn your phone off. I don't care if it's true or not I just need you to do it, please, it would be so funny.

cass + the belief she is painted by her mistakes

the great elk....

Ok but the elk that Coldhands rides is 10 feet tall.

Its shoulder lenght is as tall as your average apartment wall!!!

(the heights in this pic are SHOULDER HEIGHTS for the animals)

IT’S HUGEEEE

p sure it’s meant to be an Irish Elk !

Irish Elk never got as big as ten feet at the shoulder though! But that is a useful graph, so it just needs a little adjusting:

An elk the size of an elephant, dear lord.

And still, this elk is smaller than Sansa’s giant Vale lemoncake…

#someone take numbers away from grrm 

ahahaha

Twelve feet tall… that’s 3.65 meters… hey, that’s just about the right size for the elk to eat the sugar Eyrie!

No, no, bad elk! That’s Sansa’s lemon cake!

This blog has been telling you not to trust pelicans for over a decade and this is why

This is what Donald Trump said about a member of his own party, a white Republican elite, who dared to go against him.

Imagine what he'd do to everyone else.

Back in 2020, Donald Trump retweeted "The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat". I will never forget realizing that the President of my country had just declared a war of extermination against me, my family, and millions of others who shared our views.

He meant it. He proved that on January 6th, when he sent a mob to lynch his own Vice President for not helping him to carry out a coup.

His supporters mean it too.

Yesterday in one of my classes, we talked about the genocide in Cambodia in the 70s. How a third of the country is thought to have died.

That could be us. It could be the whole world.

This election is not a fucking game. It's not "both sides" and it's not business as usual. If we lose, we won't get to just try again in four years.

And if you sit it out, or God help you vote for that fucking man, then the blood is on your hands, and you will never wash it off.

Vote Blue.

this is mind boggling levels of insane. if you've never done needlefelting you can't quite comprehend how fucking difficult it is to not only make things so precise at such a small scale but like, not get the fibers tangled into literally everything else they interact with. and then ANIMATING it??? bro this is witchcraft
