Hi there! I am Hannah, and I drop in from time to time. She/her, 30+. This is both a multifandom and personal blog! May contain the following: Doctor Who, Marvel miscellany (but mostly the MCU), Pokemans, and trace elements of other fandoms (currently experiencing an influx of Netflix Castlevania).

do not take a passive role. don’t sit by your window watching it happen and wishing it didn’t. we all have a lot of things we can do to protect our national and personal freedoms, now is not the time to get caught in our fears and sit on our hands.

Remember 75 million people voted for Harris. That's THIRTY SEVEN TIMES the size of the entire US military - one of the biggest militaries in the word - which only has only about 2 million people in it. That more than all the most powerful militaries in the world put together. That's a LOT of people. Plus there were people who would have voted for Harris if they could but couldn't due to being too young or not being citizens yet etc.

MAGA and their allies want us to feel alone and afraid and powerless so that we just give up and don't use the power we have. But we are not alone. They are tens of millions of us. If we work together and have each other's backs we can build a bright future that will wash away this darkness.

Each one of us has a little bit of power. And together we have a lot of power. Everyone, in every walk of life, in every role, needs to use whatever power they have to say no to fascism. Even tiny actions when taken together are powerful.

Do not lose hope. Do not comply in advance. Do not give in to fear or to despair.

We are not alone. We will help each other. We will outlast this.

#start paying more attention to local politics -- those are the people who directly impact your life! via @sick-sad-little-world

And remember. Your racist MAGA neighbor is voting in local elections. So you better do the same. Or consider running yourself. Every office is important - school boards, local county government roles etc.

I miss when everyone on my dash listened to Welcome to Night Vale so there’s be a good chance that on any ole day someone would reblog a quote that would grab me by the throat and forcibly ascend me to a higher plane where I understood myself and the universe better and with more kindness but also a little spook

“The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present” are you kidding me this quote has propelled me through at least three emotional crises

“The desert seems vast, even endless. And yet scientists tell us that somewhere, even now, there is snow.” That quote literally got me through grieving my brother like WTNV goes HARD

A List of Some of My Favorite Quotes From This Insane Podcast:

  • "You are beautiful when you do beautiful things."
  • "The present tense of regret is indecision."
  • "We understand so much, but the sky behind those lights-- mostly void, partially stars-- that sky reminds us we don't understand even more."
  • "Be proud of your place in the Cosmos. It is small and yet it is."
  • "Believe in yourself. You are an ancient, absent god, discussed only rarely by literary scholars. So if you don't believe, no one will."
  • "Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you."
  • “Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won’t. That’s what love is.”
  • "Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that’s not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?"
  • "When we talk about teenagers, we adults often talk with an air of scorn, of expectation for disappointment. And this can make people who are presently teenagers feel very defensive. But what everyone should understand is that none of us are talking to the teenagers that exist now, but talking back to the teenager we ourselves once were – all stupid mistakes and lack of fear, and bodies that hadn’t yet begun to slump into a lasting nothing. Any teenager who exists now is incidental to the potent mix of nostalgia and shame with which we speak to our younger selves."
  • "We are not history yet. We are happening now. How miraculous is that?"
  • "Wednesday has been cancelled due to a scheduling error."
  • "We have nothing to fear except ourselves. We are unholy, awful people."
  • "A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A basilisk."
  • "There's nothing under your bed. There's nothing in your closet. Nothing waits in every darkness. Nothing is the most terrifying thing of all."
  • "The night sky is ten miles wide, eight miles deep, and floats three miles up. Its favourite food is grape jelly. It wants to be a drummer."
  • "Look to the sky. You will not find answers there, but you will certainly see what everyone is screaming about."
  • "Ignorance might not actually be bliss, but it is certainly less work."
  • "And now, a special report. Crocodiles: Can they eat your children? *YES.*"
  • "Lie down and look up at the ceiling and breathe with those curiously fragile lungs of yours and remind yourself: Don’t worry. Don’t worry. All is as it was meant to be. It was meant to be lonely and terrifying and unfair and fleeting. Don’t worry."
  • "As long as I’m reminding myself things, I’m a good person, worthy of love – both from myself and others."
  • "Guns don't kill people! It's impossible to be killed by a gun. We are all invincible to bullets and it's a miracle!"
  • "Everything is exciting! Particularly existence. Existence is the most thrilling fact of all."
  • "There is a monster under your bed. A monster at your window. A monster any place you imagine one. You project your monsters on the world."
  • "You miss 100% of the bank robberies you don't commit."
  • "I like my coffee like I like my nights. Dark, endless, and impossible to sleep through. "
  • "A friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep. Welcome to Night Vale."
  • "And now, the weather."

I discovered this podcast at the beginning of high school, and let me tell you, it rewired my synapses.

Not only was it my first experience with positive LGBT representation, it was the show I clung to when everything else went to shit. Whatever was going on in my life, I knew I had this show in my corner, making me laugh, making me cry, making me feel okay about my place in the universe.

I owe the creators of this podcast more than I could express.

"the lights over the Arby's" is such an intrinsically queer piece of writing that it hits me *hard* every time.

"We will never be the same again. But here's a little secret for you: no one is ever the same thing again after anything. You are never the same twice, and much of your unhappiness comes from trying to pretend that you are. Accept that you are different each day, and do so joyfully, recognizing it for the gift it is. Work within the desires and goals of the person you are currently, until you aren't that person anymore, and everything changes once again." (from Episode 75)

I'm already seeing advice from people in the US to purchase queer books and other banned or "controversial" books on paper as a way to combat the wave of government censorship that is coming. While this is a good idea (it is! absolutely!), it's not accessible to everyone, and truly, we're not going to be able to consumerism our way out of this one.

If you can buy the books, do. Whether you can buy the books or not, borrow them from your library.

Borrow the paper versions. Borrow the ebook or audiobook versions. Request the titles you want that your library doesn't have. The more a title circulates or is requested, the better librarians are going to be able to defend keeping it if and when it's ever challenged.

Use libraries like @queerliblib too. The more members they have, the better they'll be able to fundraise.

Your community resources depend on you using them. Borrow the books before they go away.

InB4: Piracy is not the solution here. We're trying to keep community resources available, not make sure individual people can read individual books. Different problems.

The books are still available. Borrowing them from your library and returning them on time and in good condition will help keep them that way.

Hoopla lets you borrow 7 at a time in GA an borrow for both your Local library, PINES library and you can borrow from Libby as well.

That’s borrowing from 3 different accounts in GA. Per month.

What if the Nerevarine could meet Sotha Sil?

I wanna hug the sad elf god too.

I spent way longer on this than I should've, but I've been playing Morrowind and Elder Scrolls Online and I felt so bad for him.

I call this AU Sotha Lives!

EDIT: I edited the image because today I just learned Sotha Sil had a scar on his face from a battle with Mehrunes Dagon. The more you know!

People with low spoons, someone just recommended this cookbook to me, so I thought I'd pass it on.

I always look at cookbooks for people who have no energy/time to do elaborate meal preparations, and roll my eyes. Like, you want me to stay on my feet for long enough to prepare 15 different ingredients from scratch, and use 5 different pots and pans, when I have chronic fatigue and no dishwasher?

These people seem to get it, though. It's very simple in places. It's basically the cookbook for people who think, 'I'm really bored of those same five low-spoons meals I eat, but I can't think of anything else to cook that won't exhaust me'.

And it's free!
