Project 2025 ain't gonna roll out all at once. So what we're gonna wanna do is make passing each individual part of it as difficult as possible, so there's less to undo once we finally get this country back on the rails.

Tumblr staff: ten options is enough for polls, right? No one needs more than that on a regular basis. The average tumblr user: Hey guys which element of the periodic table do you think is the most fuckable?

“Despite the common idea that teen sex itself is inherently dangerous, what actually leads to a lot of bad outcomes is the product of denying teens accurate information — or condoms and birth control and abortions, or even an adult to talk to.”
— Teen Sex Isn’t the Problem (But Thinking That It Is Sure Is) — Everyday Feminism (via staininyourbrain)

I actually can't stop thinking about how the losing party last election dressed like vikings and tried to break into the white house and the losing party this election are sharing suicide prevention hotlines

One more thing before I go bury myself in a pile of blankets:
To everyone who voted Democrat for the first time, every former trump supporter who voted for Harris, everyone who voted for the first time, every Republican who did not want this result and voted for Harris, thank you.
I got a text from my cousin who has voted third party for decades who voted for a Democrat for the first time yesterday.
My aunt who voted for trump in 2016 and who's husband is a proud MAGA sent me a Snapchat late last night saying she is one of the women who secretly voted for Harris.
A former friend from college who used to be deep in the Republican party posted on Facebook yesterday that he voted for Harris.
I know you aren't the only ones.
I see that you tried.

If I have to see one more “we survived him before we can do it again” post I’m going to scream.
So many people didn’t. So many more people are going to die. Women are going to bleed out in parking lots because doctors are scared to give them the abortion they need. Migrates are going to die in detention centers. Kids are going to have their parents ripped away in mass deportations. Potentially millions of people are going to lose their healthcare.
Yes, we keep fighting, but don’t say we survived before. A lot of people didn’t.

When encountering someone stuck in an Apology Loop, I do not uselessly ask, or worse, demand that they “stop apologizing.”
Rather, I have found it much more useful to affect a theatrical tone and formally “absolve” them. “Like a Renaissance pope, I absolve you, my child.” Usually the combination of having the absurdity of the situation highlit, combined with a touch of physiological release if I can get a laugh, is enough to soothe their nerves a bit and get them to break the loop. And who knows maybe they feel absolved I dunno I have an authoritative bearing

This is an Emergency Evacuation Planner for trans people living in the U.S.A.
The document is (as of November 11th, 2024) unfinished, but I figured that getting information out ASAP was significantly better than waiting until I deemed it to be 'finished enough'. This is a google doc of information for moving to a new state.
The document includes a list of states that are safe to move to*, what to pack with you, tasks you need to accomplish before moving, and other relevant information. Comments are turned on in the document if you have any suggestions.
It does not currently have information on fleeing the country as a whole, as those cases are highly circumstantial and I do not know enough about that to feel comfortable providing advice on it. PLEASE SHARE THIS DOCUMENT TO HELP THOSE TRYING TO ESCAPE THEIR STATES.
*The states are categorized based on Erin Reed's and the Movement Advancement Project's categorizations/metrics for transgender or LGBTQ+ adults rather than children. Both sources have been linked in the google doc for ease of access.

I know it's not people's faults for not knowing, but I still get extremely annoyed at people saying stuff like "why are ghosts always represented by sheets? I guess people used to just be scared of sheets."
They aren't ghosts because they're covered in a sheet, they're covered in a sheet because back in the day, they wrapped dead bodies in sheets when they buried them. The ghosts are wrapped in burial shrouds because that's what they were buried in.
People weren't scared of sheets, they were scared of the corpse UNDER the sheet.
