no i am not immune to early 2000s pop-punk music that fucks a little harder than everyone likes to admit

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

dems didn’t “throw” the election. neither side ever “throws” an election. as i said before, the cool kids call that idea “coping.” there’s no such thing as losing when you’re a ruling class politician taking turns on who gets to press the big red lockheed martin button.

been reading Dracula lately and have been thoroughly enjoying myself, so I decided to draw some of my takes on the characters

"oh, I live in a desert and-"

"wow that must be so terrible" "deserts are so ugly" "I would never want to live in a wasteland like that" "it's just empty nothingness"

wishing 10,000 exploding hammers upon you

behold New Mexico

the most depressing part is that it's not even kamala's stance on genocide that is costing her the elections. i wish it were. it's people genuinely shifting for trump. but it's the pro-palestine movement that's going to get the blame for it.

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.

when they could've used the electoral college to block him and they didn't and then they found evidence of election fraud and they could've reversed his election and they didn't and then they could've double impeached him and made him unelectable and they didn't and then they convicted him on felony charges and they could've made him unelectable and they didn't and then they could've put forth a candidate who stands a chance against him in the next election and they didn't

I get such a kick out of the prefix 'cis'

getting a book cislated: yup, still can't read it

cisition timeline: just a selfie

cisformation: make a bunch of super saiyan sounds and walk away

cisubstantiation: by the power of god this bread has remained bread

idk its just neat

[pariahdogpark]

its really telling where you learned about lapis lazuli. put yours in the tags

[pariahdogpark]

Uncharacteristically political take, I know, but I personally think if you want to blame any particular group of voters for Trump getting elected it should probably be the people who voted for Trump

[pariahdogpark]

okay fresh post. please for the love of god please help my friend mohammed and the 27 family members he's providing for, their campaign is almost stagnant the last two days. there are no jobs, they have no house, they have slept on the streets and been shot and starved by the iof since last october. it is terrifying to see their gfm slowing like this because they literally have no other options for survival.

hi. i love you. the messages of love to and from trans people across the dash is bolstering. but can people like. take time to think about and love on the black people who have been struggling to feel seen on this website. not just hating those who couldn't stand to vote for a black woman but declaring that you're an anti-racist coconspirator? you might feel that its obvious but its not. thats its common sense but its not.

Hey, also, all the anarchist shit aside, tomorrow I want you to make something.

I forced myself to draw something after the 2016 election. I forced myself to draw something when my mother died in 2018. I forced myself to draw something when my spouse was hospitalized for multiple organ failure in 2021.

When you are miserable, make something. Add a row to your project, bake a box cake, draw on a sheet of lined paper, write a poem on a napkin, fold an origami shirt out of a dollar bill, make your favorite recipe for dinner, but make something with your hands, something that you can hold and look at engage your senses in.

It won't fix the world, but it will change the world. You will have made something that didn't exist before. You will have impacted your reality, even in a very small way. And it is going to be something you made *after.* Something bad happened, something shook you, and you made something after, in spite of it.
