I feel like it's important to point out that in the last few days alone, in the middle of the ongoing flap about How Old He Is, Biden has announced two MAJOR pieces of progressive legislation/priorities for his second term: a) major SCOTUS reform, term limits for SCOTUS justices, a constitutional amendment nullifying the "president god-king" ruling, and b) legislation to cap/stabilize rent costs nationwide and financially punish landlords who raise their tenant's rent by more than a certain percentage (the news I saw had it as no more than 5%) in a year.

It is important to note that aside from these both being necessary and needed (the SCOTUS reform alone, holy shit) Biden's response to challenges to his candidacy is to go MORE left, not LESS. The conventional wisdom for 800 years has always been that Democrats Need To Go More Centrist, a mainstream and longterm Democrat like Biden has absolutely heard it over and over, and we have heard so much about how we need to court Republicans who are tired of Trump by being more conservative. Biden is not doing that. He is making the electoral gamble that the way to win is by going even more left, which would also have implications for his policy agenda in a second term, especially when he was freed of re-election concerns and could just go "fuck it."

Now we, and I cannot emphasize this enough, need to reward him for the move leftward and incentivize him to do it more. When you shout endlessly at politicians to be more left and then just bitch at them for not being even more left even when they move in that direction, you discourage them from doing so and make the hoary old Move To The Center narrative come back yet again. So:

all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.

I have never before experienced mind games played upon me like I experienced today. 12 hour parasocial panic mode lockdown because two people who I do not know personally decided to launch a full scale attack on my psyche. What a way to keep me humble. I’m so vulnerable to these funny little people in my screen and they know it. Congratulations to the happy couple et cetera. I can finally breath knowing that we have an answer.

I just came up with an idea for a Hunger Games story but I NEED someone else to write it PLEASE.

MC = Main Character

After winning the games, MC is sent on the victory tour but she’s struggling with differentiating life within the arena and out. She’s angry and traumatized and confused. She has an attack during a gala she has to attend as a victor, relives her worst moments in the arena through flashbacks, and lashes out. MC kills 8 members of the Capitol elite. She’s immediately locked up and put through horrendous punishments while Snow decides what will happen to her. Does he put her to death or brainwash her and turn her into a pawn, another symbol to show that this is what happens when you act out? In the meantime, he makes a display of her. A bruised and battered MC is publicly shown off when she’s moved between prisons and the people of Panem can catch a glimpse of her worn down state. Meanwhile, District 13 is scheming and uses these small moments that she can be seen to stage an attack. While being transferred and shown off like a prisoner, MC is attacked and killed by angry members of the Capitol. All of Panem thinks she’s dead, but really she’s transferred to District 13, where she lives in safety until the Mockingjay arrives and a rebellion can begin.

I'm hoping someone will write this as an OC x Finnick pairing because I'm too lazy🥺 If you write this, please let me know because I want to read it!!

I love that Tumblr has slowly become my way of maintaining a timeline of my hyperfixations. Like shadow and bone s2, midnights release, stranger things s4, moon knight, bridgerton s2, red tv, my aos phase

I’m enchanted to announce my next tour:  Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, a journey through the musical eras of my career (past and present!) The first leg of the tour will be in stadiums across the US, with international dates to be announced as soon as we can! Feeling like the luckiest person alive because I get to take these brilliant artists out on tour with me: Paramore, beabadoobee, Phoebe Bridgers, girl in red, MUNA, HAIM, GAYLE, Gracie Abrams and OWENN. I can’t WAIT to see your gorgeous faces out there. It’s been a long time coming 🥰

I don't think I'll ever find a man more attractive than Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. I saw that man at the ripe age of 12 and absolutely fell in love and now at 22 I can confidently say nothing has changed
