using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

my favorite part is that absolutely nobody says this except here. so if you use it in public, it's a dead giveaway that you spent the last ten years on tumblr. but then again, they recognized it, which means they were at the devil's sacrament

#no one wants this presidents shoelaces #so yeah we had to update the pass-phrases @ayrki these cannot be left in the tags

Is gonna be okay :)

So there's the idea of "kitchen table poly," AKA "everyone in the polycule needs to be able to sit at a kitchen table together and get along like friends."

One of my roommates just came up with a counter idea, which is "poker table poly." Everyone in the polycule must be enemies. No one is allowed to get too chummy or they're kicked out. They all also likely owe eachother money.

Evil Vizier poly, you all whisper plots against other people in the polycule.

PolyClue, guess who did what in which room with which objects.

There's no murder involved.

This is what my account looks like rn.

I am disabled and a lesbian and my wife is a disabled trans lesbian.

We need help. Our gas is off so we can't cook (or take hot showers!) and I am literally diabetic. In 3 days I'll be 2 months behind on my car note and could lose my car. The car I need to get to job and many dr appointments. My wife is still on medical leave from her job. We need to pay rent. We need microwaveable food. We just rly rly need help y'all.

Here are my paylinks, wishlist and link to my website where I sell handmade gel press-on nails.

Reached rent goal!!! Thank y'all so much!!! Please help me turn my gas back on its been months and I would love to be able to cook and take hot showers and have heating before it gets cold out!

And actually we all live on a planet that's going to be ravaged by climate change on account of America's absolute and cowardly surrender to big oil.

If you're trans and you don't have a passport, get one. right now. not in a month, not in a week, get started on it today.

I mean it.

Today.

This is the one thing that I would definitely do regardless of state. For those not in the know, a passport is the way to get an easy name or gender marker change onto your ID without a court battle, and that is highly dependent on the Federal administration.

There’s not too much point in talking about the election anymore, but I think some people are misconstruing the results. 21% of the American population voted for trump. He won the popular vote with polls only recording a 43.7% approval rating, and he has never held an approval rating over 50%, something that Biden and (arguably) Harris have. He lost millions of votes from 2020 to 2024, it’s just that Harris lost millions more.

All this is to say that there is not some ‘silent majority’ of trump supporters in America. While some people will definitely be emboldened in their rhetoric and action by the results of the election, Trump was a deeply unpopular president, and is shaping up to be one again. He will enact unpopular policies that are against the will of the average American, but that doesn’t mean every American is out to get you. Engage with your local community, check in on loved ones, and maybe even take a look at local political offices in the coming few years. If you dislike the two party system, volunteer or donate to a third party. It’s altogether likely we see another 2022 situation, resentment grows further against the Republican Party, and the midterms offer a lot of opportunity to alternatives, at every level of government.

It may all feel like the end, but it’s not. We’ve been through it before, and no matter what we do, hate and ignorance will bleed through the cracks in society again in the future. It’s going to get better, but that’s easier to say if we make it better.
