who wants to go with me to the evil dead cabin dunkin

America runs from dunkin

If you reblog this, you better be planning to vote this election.

If I have to see one more “we survived him before we can do it again” post I’m going to scream.

So many people didn’t. So many more people are going to die. Women are going to bleed out in parking lots because doctors are scared to give them the abortion they need. Migrates are going to die in detention centers. Kids are going to have their parents ripped away in mass deportations. Potentially millions of people are going to lose their healthcare.

Yes, we keep fighting, but don’t say we survived before. A lot of people didn’t.

I just dont know what im supposed to say? “Dayum that sucks? Guess we all die?” Like what can I say?? What can I do?? Im a disabled trans woman in Texas. I KNOW things are terrible, I KNOW people will die, so many people- I DONT know if i’ll make it; What am I supposed to do? I cant live without hope and i dont think people telling me about all the worst things that will happen now is particularly helping anyone.

“Survival is a privilege” is absolutely be true but telling hopeful people to “check their living privilege” doesnt seem productive???

the thing that the election results actually suggest is that what the white men (and white women) of america need to tip blue is a free college education, a shared apartment in an urban area, a library card, and two years without contact from mom and dad. they don't need to be emotionally coddled they need to be cut off from mommy and reddit and forced to read books and interact with the world and figure out a metro map

Economic sentiment severely lags economic data.

Inflation was highest in 2022 but it wasn't truly felt until 2023.

Likewise, current economic data shows that inflation is back down and wages are outpacing price growth.

So in a year, when people's wages have made things a little easier and they're feeling better about their financial situation, they're going to say, "wow, things really are better under trump!" when he truly had nothing to do with it

i will say, the worst thing that happened in fandom was when shipping just became “i ship this bc it’s gonna be real” and not just “i ship this bc i think it’s a fun dynamic to explore idc what the writers are doing that’s not my business”

Internet mobs will be like "why doesnt anyone just ADMIT when theyre WRONG anymore??!!" and then treat someone like they deserve the death penalty because they said something off-colour on twitter when they were 14

No one will admit that they were wrong if you treat being wrong like its an eternal indictment against them with no chance for rehabilitation

these tags, tbh. we fucked up when we allowed "the people you hurt aren't obligated to accept your apology" to shift into "...so you have to shut up and accept whatever abuse is hurled your way no matter what, forever, and if you ever say anything about it, you're deflecting and playing the victim."

all this accomplishes is driving people to double down & refuse to acknowledge any wrongdoing, bc to admit fault would be to accept that you're a Bad Person, which means you deserve whatever you get.

This is a reminder to:

Form communities. Tell your people that you love them. Protect one another. Check in on one another. None of us are alone.

'if you can't go to physical stores just order your clothes online, after all it's easy to return them if they don't fit!' no it's not!! if I want to return a package i have to leave my house, get to the post office before it closes, stand in a queue, get the qr code up on my phone, show the guy at the counter the first code and explain I have two packages in the bag I gave him so there's another code to scan after this one, wait patiently while he packs them up, holding my phone up the whole time so he can see the other code on the screen, then he looks up and says he's done and indicates I should leave so he can serve the customer behind me, and I politely remind him there's another code, and he gets all pissy that I didn't tell him there were two codes before he packed things up except I DID and I'm all apologetic that he didn't hear me (like I understand i also have auditory processing issues but did he have to get stroppy), and there's a growing queue behind me while he makes a big show of taking the packages out of the bag and putting them in separate ones huffing and hawing the whole time and I'm standing there awkwardly because he still hasn't scanned the second qr code and I'm worried he forgot again and the queue is getting really long and it's a small shop and everyone knows I'm the one causing problems and I wish I'd never ordered those damn tops they didn't suit me at all and made me feel bad about myself and I just want to go home and lie face down on the sofa and anyway that's why I don't like ordering clothes online

"the pvp on this site is brutal" "this website's hatemail game is insane" you guys werent here from 2013-2016. they shot you if you reblogged from someone who reblogged from someone who liked kill la kill.

In 2018 a mlm dating sim came out, was beloved for like a week, then dataminers found assets from a scrapped Halloween DLC gag ending where one of the love interests was a Satanist, and the whole website decided that that meant the whole game was secretly homophobic and started straight up lying about transphobic elements being in the game (they weren't).

You can say Dream Daddy, we know what you're talking about

I am delighted (derogatory) to report that this level of harassment over fiction never went away 👍 one could argue this behavior has become more widespread/normalized, even! Great work everybody, the fictional characters are saved and the real queer creators are flooded with death threats 🎉

what kind of ghost are you?

joe biden, you stupid fuck. listen to me. Crimes are legal for sitting presidents as long as they’re official actions. Listen: Joe. You have one chance

Even if he decides not to do, y'know, the obvious, there's gotta be some creative ways he can fuck shit up for Trump. Nothing he does in terms of actual policy will stick, but make Trump spend his first hundred days undoing Biden's last 75.

Especially make him undo stuff that will be incredibly popular. Executive order legalizing marijuana nationwide. Declare a free pizza party for the whole country, scheduled for the first week of February.

Declassify Trump's IRS records, his FBI file, and everything available about his personal habits during his previous stay in the White House. Did he ever order any pay-per-view porn? Clog a toilet? The American people deserve to know.

I'm just spit balling here; I'm sure there are even better ideas.

sure, you’re gay, but do you fill each others speed bars by 30%

not to overlook the detail that, if deadpool commits murder, all the old men in the vicinity get turned on
