??? why are “friends with benefits” now considered a cringe straight people thing???? friends can fuck. it’s literally fine

people on here are like “you CANNOT fuck someone unless you really love them and are in a long term romantic relationship with them!!!!!!! oh but sex workers are valid hehe”

someone on tiktok will be like “i’m not ready/looking for for a romantic relationship but i have a lot of stress so my friend and i consensually bone sometimes and it makes us both feel better” and someone on tumblr will post a screenshot of it and say “ewwww why can’t you just be normal??” while simultaneously claiming to be sex-positive

also aromantic people can have sexual relationships. that doesn’t make them “less pure” or whatever. who cares

i've talked with some of my friends abt relationships and they're generally on dating apps and feeling pressure to treat any given date as either "potential long-term relationship" or "something we should break off now" and they're stressed and single and unhappy and idk it feels like we need to bring back fucking your friends.

relationship anarchy! the lines between platonic, romantic, and sexual can be whatever you and your friend feel like in the moment! flirt with every other trans adult you meet! i feel like everyone would be happier if we were all like. 21% sluttier.

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.

mentally i’m a slut physically i’m scared of intimacy 

Life must be rough for you

not to alarm anyone but is anybody else worried about how everybody is fucking stupid

This is what we goddamn meant by a third party vote is a vote for HIM.

49.7% VS 49.9%!!!!!!

Congratulations to all abstaining voters: your candidate fucking won.

Of course the important thing is that they upheld their personal morals and didn't vote for someone who they didn't agree with on every aspect. Because the only two viable options will have the exact same effect on the country and the world anyway.

Is she genuinely losing?! How are the democrats so good at losing

Idc what your favorite tumblrina is gonna write tomorrow about third party voters and "single-issue" voters for palestine. Harris will not lose because of third party voters and palestinians she will lose because this country is becoming further and further right wing. The white vote in this country is farther right. The democrats in trying to curry favor with this white populist rise abandoned their usual campaign policies and did so for nothing. Talks of being harder on the border, dismissal of trans rights, vague talking points on abortion, dick Cheney endorsement was all in response to the right wing rise happening even in the blue states. And they did it all for nothing.

everyone I know or follow on tumblr is either a good artist, writer, cosplayer, gifmaker, photoshopper, attractive or just…  amazing

and I sit here like

Is that a… A platypus …with 6 legs??

that’s lotad you uncultured shit

PLEASE VOTE. IT MATTERS.

I tell this story a lot, but I'm not going to shut up about it, so pay the fuck attention.

I live in a small New England town.

Maybe 10% of the eligable voters show up at non-Presidental elections.

About a decade ago, there was a referendum to build a new middle school. My son was just starting high school, having attended the old, out of date, and badly needing replacing junior high. My daughter lived out of the school district with her mother.

I had no children who were going to be attending that middle school. Keep that part in mind.

I had a part time job in the mornings opening a gym. I live in Northern New England, where some people often have a seasonal business of driving a snow plow. The money is inconsistent, but when it snows, you are very much needed.

The gentleman who drove the plow to clean up the gym's parking lot came in one morning after the morning rush of exercisers checked in and we had time to chitchat. I thanked him for doing the plowing and we were feeling amiable to each other.

The subject of the new school came up, and the referendum to raise the funds that was on the ballot. I mentioned I was voting in favor.

He about tore me a new asshole, how young people (I was in my forties) were foolish, spoiled and wasteful and how there was no way HE was going to vote for such a stupid thing, and wasn't my child in high school anyway and...

Mr. Snowplow showed up at every election. I knew that because I did and we lived in the same ward.

If you do not vote, Mr. Snowplow and people like him are going to be making decisions on YOUR LIFE at VERY IMMEDIATE local levels.

Now, VOTE, dammit
