If are living in America and are wondering what you can do now please consider contacting The White House and demanding a recount / revote!

Check out the ALCU -> The ACLU is an organization that specifically fights back against harmful laws and bills - they fought trump off RAPIDLY during his first presidency and theyre overall good for keeping track of resources and stuff!

Ensure your vote is counted through Vote Curing!

Sign this Petition : Jane Byson (the maker of petition) ;

"We need a recount and revote for the 2024 election. An investigation needs to be looked into after Trumps sudden rise after all favor was pointed towards Kamala Harris. This isn't superstition when there was proof that she was in the lead. Something is wrong and the people of the US shouldn't suffer for it."

For those who are contemplating suicide or self harm consider contacting these Hotlines! Keep Fighting Please, and to those who have more resources PLEASE add on.

Just a friendly reminder. While it is very good to stay in the loop of things right now, you NEED to take breaks if you need it. Being on here and doomscrolling will not change anything- but you can change how you feel today, at least. Spend time with loved ones and find community and fellowship around you. Right now, you are ok. Today you are ok.

Percy: Hey dad?

Poseidon: Yes Percy?

Percy: I was just wondering, you used to be pretty ruthless—what changed? What made you wanna turn over a new leaf?

Poseidon: *Gets violent phantom pains in the scars he received after pushing a man with really sexy thighs way too far*

Percy: Dad?

Poseidon: *Swallows* Well son, you get older, you mature, you realize some actions were definitely out of proportion, and some lessons don't need to be relearned...

calling my lover "mine" but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine, mine in the way my neighborhood is mine, and also everybody else's, "mine" like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. "mine" not like possession but devotion.

I don't really feel like I'm unmasking, I am just accommodating myself a lot more. Like wearing eardefenders when shopping, leaving a party after 2 hours, not forcing eye contact, using figet toys, retreating into that little dark spot I made in my bedroom when things become too much.

Feels good to accommodate myself.

This is rough, have any advice on not fucking killing myself?

I know there are a lot of people thinking about killing themselves right now. I felt the exact same way in 2016 when he first got elected.

This is a bad thing, but to anyone having these types of thoughts, please don't do anything that can't be undone. This is the last term he can be be inaugurated, after these 4 years, or hopefully less, he will be gone. It's difficult to stay positive right now, and that's okay. You don't have to stay positive, it's okay to feel these emotions as they are. But please do not commit suicide, because if you do, you won't be able to feel any emotions ever again.

Even though I felt hopeless at the time, I am so glad that I didn't kill myself in 2016.

For my own sake, I really need the people who are upset with this election to stay alive with me

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

How could you ever resist teasing this dude.

A gentle reminder, especially for those of us in the USA - be gentle with yourself this election day. Most of us are exhausted, completely burned out, or flat-out terrified. There will be a very real temptation to spend all of your time sitting in front of the TV or doom-scrolling for results.

Here are some things you can do to break out of that cycle:

Go for a walk.

Read a book.

Re-read your favorite fanfiction.

Listen to music. If you’re looking for something upbeat, here’s a playlist of songs that make me happy. If you want something more chill, try some autumn vibes.

Phone a friend.

Watch your favorite movie or comfort TV show.

Grab a coloring book or print off some coloring pages.

Dance around the house.

Lie on the floor in the dark or outside in the sun, and just breathe.

Let yourself feel your feelings, whatever that looks like. Laugh. Cry. Scream into a pillow.

Take your meds. Stay hydrated. Don’t forget to eat. And get some rest.
