tweets that did get a chuckle out of me

[jackawful]

AP is saying she lost by 5 million votes. which means even if all 2 million third party voters had voted for kamala harris (which would never have happened because of the libertarian party & RFK to be clear), she still would have lost.

instead of blaming leftists and palestinians for voting third party, you should be blaming the democrats for running a trash campaign. a campaign based in genocide, ethnic cleansing, cracking down on the border, children in cages, endless war with russia, endless war in korea, endless war in SWANA, the promise of war with china, refusing to actually defend (let alone protect) trans and queer people, and the list goes on. the democratic party is actively contributing to the rise of fascism in the united states, and they have been for 50 years.

hey, now that orange man is back can we get angry about the kids in cages in concentration camps like 20 miles away from me? like. you know, the concentration camps that were started by obama and have continued running unmentioned and unhindered during biden/harris' term?

can we be angry about the genocide biden/harris have been directly funding?

can we be angry about the multiple transphobic and transmisogynistic bills that passed during biden/harris' term, which they did nothing to stop?

can we be angry about the loss of roe v. wade which also happened during biden/harris' term?

can we be angry about the continued funding and militarisation of police, and the exponential rise of police brutality and myrders that have happened during biden/harris' term?

now that there's someone unlikeable coming into office, can we be angry again about all the stuff you've been ignoring because the oval office is blue?

This is a reminder to:

Never mention a possible pregnancy/abortion to anyone, especially not through a social media app messaging service such as messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, Snapchat, etc.

Delete all period tracking apps and to start tracking using a planner or physical calendar

Book appointments for a form of birth control if possible, or to always carry condoms for yourself and other

Look into sterilization options if that is the route you want to go down (here is a list of 1000 doctors willing to sterilize you without a fight)

Protect your fellow person, protect the women in your life, the queer people, the disabled people, everyone will be affected by this

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

you were cancelled? my bad if you dont to talk about it, but i was just surprised to read that

every transfem person you know has been smeared on some scale, whether they have an audience or not. you're surprised to read that salt is salty

[jackawful]

Can you tell me it'll be okay? And mean it?

Yeah. It feels like shit now and there's a lot to worry about, but there was a lot to worry about last month and four years ago and eight years ago and twelve years ago and sixteen and twenty and twenty four and twenty eight and on and on and on.

Continue to work locally, continue to help people, continue to speak up for what is right and protest what is wrong.

We all should be breaking unjust laws and taking care of one another because you don't survive things like this by being isolated and alone, you survive things like this by building networks and creating parallel systems and growing tight bonds with the people in your community (either physically or digitally).

Plan on helping someone get an abortion. Plan on lying to ICE. Plan on helping someone get hormones. Plan on defending an encampment. Plan on sharing information that is being hidden. Plan on potesting a pipeline or supporting forest defense. Plan on not crossing picket lines. Plan on helping your friends get their meds.

The US Federal Government sucks shit and is not here to help. But there are millions of people who want to help each other, and those are the people you should be focusing your energy on.

It's going to be hard, but it was always going to be hard. I believe in my community, I believe in the networks I've built, I believe in the ability of small groups to make change and I believe in you.

Don't panic about what's on the horizon, do something *today* that will make someone else's life better tomorrow and it will feel less like the world is falling down.

explain to people like they're in kindergarten that the gap is so large that even if ALL third party voters had voted for her she still would've lost and they start pouting and stomping their feet because they REALLY really really wanted a chance to go off on a racist rant about arabs and blame them for everything but feel justified about it instead of realizing they're MAGA 2.0

if you hate country rap jazz or funk you are NOT welcome on this blog. if youve ever said a dirty word about disco in your life youre going straight to hell brother

[jackawful]

Said it on twit might as well say it here.

Were you helping refugees at the border last week by donating to mutual aid groups or doing translation and outreach?

Were you calling for ceasefire and doing what you could to aid Palestinians last week? (Esims for gaza here)

Were you talking to your unhoused neighbors with respect and advocating for them and protesting encampment clearances last week? (There's no link just treat people like people and share cash if you can)

Last week were you participating in community meal shares and free stores?

Were you supporting bail funds and protesting the carceral state and trying to stop executions and humanizing incarcerated people last week? (How to write a letter to an incarcerated person)

Were you working to increase access to abortion medications and birth control and abortions in general last week?

Did you share information about DIY HRT and spend time paying attention to the books your school board was banning and make your lgbtqia friends welcome and included last week?

Were you aware of the groundwork being laid for a 2028 general strike and the ways that you could support one (contributing to strike funds, joining and supporting unions, attempting to unionize your workplace) last week?

Were you helping the people around you, were you caring for your friends, were you making information free, were you picking up trash, were you sharing a meal, were you tracking fascists, were you challenging the wrongs done by your government in the ways available to you last week?

Good. Keep doing that.

A better world is possible. Keep working toward it.

Not going to call out any poster by name but it is wild to me to see this kind of shit post-election:

[screenshot of a post that starts "if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to" the rest is cut off.]

Who are these imaginary people who constantly have money to donate when they feel powerless? This is the 'being broke' website. Do you have any idea how much it hurts if all the "if you're feeling powerless right now" posts that you see suggest a course of action that you CAN NOT DO?

Like, this isn't a rant about donation/fundraising posts in general but against the idea that this is comforting or empowering. To whom? Seeing tons of fundraising posts on my dash every day and not being able to contribute to most of them makes me feel so hopeless that I've seriously considered leaving this website for a while to protect my mental health.

if ur in the tags of that debunked callout being like “I’m soooo sorry for spreading misinfo by rbing this I should’ve researched more and done my due diligence” consider that you could easily do your due diligence by never reblogging another callout post ever again in your entire life

[jackawful]

doomerism isn't going to help anyone. circlejerking about how "everything's hopeless it's all over" isn't going to help anyone. do you people really still have enough faith in the "american system" that it fucking people over in this specific way makes you think the world is going to end? come the fuck on, get organized. government was never going to protect us no matter what. we protect us, always have, always will until and after this bullshit empire falls once and for all.
