My printer decided to perfect its postmodernist cut-up technique instead of actually printing my notes

I have titled these “what have you done, you absolute piece of shit” (left) and “?????????” (right), please enjoy

If we tax billionaires too much they won't be able to buy the essentials they need, like NFL franchises, islands, and tax-deductible think tanks founded exclusively to legitimize fringe beliefs about how billionaires shouldn't have to pay taxes.

10 day until 10 years...

...since Strange Magic was released in cinemas.

And locally there were primroses on sale.

I could not resist.

me: i would just give it to you.

anyway female characters get to be cunning and selfish and opportunistic too. y’all say you want strong female characters but the moment they show any kind of agency you crucify them while the male characters who show those same traits in the same media are excused or woobified. masculine characters get to be conflicted and self serving while we ascribe them hidden depths but god forbid a woman do something that’s not completely pure or altruistic for five goddamn seconds.

#i think about this insane clapback every single time antis say some weird shit like fictional people are real and can affect you physically

#or act like you're hurting the character emotionally by talking bad about them 🙄

Shockingly, there is a difference between 'a compelling story arc in a work of fiction' and 'a thing you want to happen to/around you in real life'.

i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they're allowed to go to extremes. they're allowed to put their love over the greater good. they're allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.

saw a post about redemption arcs and i realized that a lot of our discussions would be improved if we discussed villains for what they are (pieces of a narrative whole) instead of what they definitely are not (real people on trial)

at some point we gotta acknowledge that getting the majority of your news and takes and general opinions from tumblr is not meaningfully different than getting it from tiktok even though on here it's in textual form. understanding the world through the lens of viral videos vs understanding it through breathless unsourced text posts written by dykeastarion69

mutual aid los angeles (MALA) has put together a spreadsheet with valuable resources for people affected by the ongoing los angeles wildfires and wind storm. the sheet is constantly being updated with resources such as shelter info, animal boarding info, addresses for distribution centers, volunteer opportunities and so much more.

please share this spreadsheet widely

hey so Los Angeles is in crisis right now.

Multiple concurrent wildfires are happening, two of which are extremely devastating. The Palisades Fire, which at this time is the deadliest wildfire in LA history, has burned 18 square miles worth of land and destroyed over 1,000 structures. The Eaton Fire has burned over 10,000 acres. And the Santa Ana winds are rapidly escalating the fires to where containment at this time is borderline nonexistent and firefighters are at a loss for what to do. People have died. The air is extremely hard to breathe from smoke. Elderly, disabled and transient populations are at great risk. Even 20 miles south and 30 miles west of the Palisades and Eaton Fires, the smoke is so bad that there are air quality alerts and the moon is red at night. These have been called “catastrophic urban firestorms” and the people affected need your compassion.

If you are directly affected by the Eaton or Palisades Fires, here is a list of safe evacuation centers:

The DreamCenter is also taking evacuees.

I’ll reblog when I can with more information for shelters but in the meantime please signal boost and add your own information if and when possible.
