Literally begging anyone who can vote in US elections to vote, and to vote against Trump. Which means voting for Harris, not abstaining or voting third party.

My family actually did move here from an authoritarian country, where voting literally didn't matter, they literally did throw out your vote, and they literally did assassinate citizens who spoke out against them.

We would all very much like to keep living in a country where those things are not the case!

You know, the same things that Trump and his stooges have openly said they want to do. And two of the main propaganda lines for why people in the US shouldn't vote, which is a lie.

Voting matters. The parties are not the same.

And make sure to vote in down-ballot races!!!

And like. The fact that voting matters in the US is a very real reason for hope. It is something you should genuinely appreciate. We can make a difference.

And a lot of people risked their lives or even died to earn that right, and it's a right not everyone has.

#interrupting our regularly scheduled programming for a voting matters psa #because I just saw like 5 posts encouraging people not to vote and those posts are bullshit!!!#us politics #election 2024 #american politics #2024 election #uspol #voting #voting matters #the parties are not the same #voting rights #democrats #democratic party #united states #not news #yes I also really do wish voting third party had a chance of working #but it doesn't #yes biden's policy on palestine is atrocious and harris's is unlikely to be much better #but that doesn't change the fact that we DON'T live in an authoritarian dictatorship (yet)#and it doesn't change the fact that there is a massive difference between trump and harris #you will have a much harder time helping palestinians if trump wins and starts “crushing” pro-Palestine protests (direct quote from him)#and wrecks the economy so people can't afford to donate or to take the time to protest #me

no ai generated content will ever compare to the absolutely cartoonishly evil plot to cut down trees to prevent workers from striking to get livable wage.

#tree law #sag strike #wga strike #also also it can be hard to admit but the US does set some industry standards so although im on the other side of the world its concerning!!#if bigwigs at US companies are screwing out their own workers what would this mean for those producing content in other countries?#what about our own local production companies that model american production houses?#oh we cant pay you a living wage cause thats industry standard. dont believe me? here is what a writer at X USA company at X TV show earns #also if you “cant afford” to pay your creatives a living wage then maybe you shouldnt be in charge #so yeah #i think this whole strike thing will affect more than just the US #just fucking pay your creatives

"it really sucks that we're all forced to dress ourselves in plastic nowadays, which is bad for us and the planet in multiple ways. natural-fiber clothing fabric used to be the norm and I wish we could get back some of that one very specific aspect of the past"

"WOW SO YOU WANT TO BE A TRADWIFE AND YOU THINK THE PAST WAS A PERFECT UTOPIA ALWAYS AND FOREVER? YOU WANT TO PISS ON THE POOR???? ACKSHULLY IT'S CLASSIST TO SAY THAT PLASTIC FABRIC IS BAD, BECAUSE IT'S MORE AFFORDABLE"

#piss on the poor #reading comprehension #like yeah it's BAD that it's the most affordable option because as usual the worst of this falls on the most marginalized people #but look around you. almost NOBODY can buy their way out of All Plastic Clothing All The Time #even luxury brands usually want to drown us all in polyester and nylon #I've seen $500 dresses without a thread of natural fiber in them. it's insane #you practically have to do nothing but thrift and/or make your own clothing- AND live in a place where you can access #affordable natural fabrics #to actually avoid synthetics in your wardrobe #and even then things like underwear and bras and most socks are impossible to get without SOME plastic

Making a birthday cake for a friend tonight (something I haven't done for a while), and I forgot how much I love baking & cake decorating. I'll post pics when I'm done, I'm very excited. 🥰

#archivist talk #the archivist regrets starting nursing school #the archivist #the archivist is a tad stressed but also this fun thing is happening so that's just dandy #i think i might have to give up on the kitchen being a place where one can sit and eat #i never use it for that personally #not because i don't want to #it just lacks the space for it and i don't have a real dining room #(my kitchen is long and narrow)#if i can figure out a good reasonable way to re-arrange the living room such that i can have both a living room AND a small dining corner #i may do that #however given the amount of bookshelves i've got going on & all my other lusts i imagine this won't happen #le sigh #i love my apartment so much #i think if i had a small dining area/dining room that would make the kitchen perfect #and if i had a den that i could put my desk/file cabinet/all adulting work in #that would free up my bedroom to be even more coquettish & focused #and also entirely comfortable #that would change a lot actually goddamn #but alas this building is not going to change #so maybe if one day i could afford a 2 bedroom that had a den .... bonus points if it has wood floors #and those arched doorways that i so love #i would be in heaven #i have to finish nursing school so i can pay for things with less stres #and also help my siblings more #and then maybe so i can get a nice home that would be super cool #but for now i must simply chill as they say

the company i work for decided that its switching from the german formal "You"(Sie) to the informal "you" (Du) in all of our websites so now we have to scour the entire database to change it and i quite frankly hate that, not just bc the unecessary extra work but especially bc its such a weird and unecessary change

i bet its bc everything here is getting englishfied (both literally and culturally it feels like, when my new boss talks its half in english bc every second german word is just replaced by an english one despite there being perfectly fine words for it in german too, its so annoying) and bc they want to sound more personal in hopes of getting more clients bc 'company is your fwiend uwu!!', i know this here is the amercian tm site so you wouldnt understand really but i do not want to be greeted with 'du' by companies, no, thats too personal, you dont know me and im not giving you my data, stay away!!

i guess thats how i would describe it .. the formal you is like a polite distance, like someone you dont know staying outside your personal space, but when its the informal 'you' it feels invasive unless i told you you can call me that, and that goes double for companies

maybe its a small thing that doesnt seem important but i cant stand it, im just a little part time worker doing data work so i got no say in it but the companies founder also announced hes giving his post to his kids some time ago so ...... since then theres been alot of changes and new projects that solely aim to imitate whats popular and whats done by other companies, despite ours being one that is, or used to be, intentionally different, like, that was the POINT, but i guess chasing trends is just too appealing for CEOs

#ganondoodles talks #personal #rare personal rant #theres more and more changes that feel so weirdly forced #like man #i thought being different was the whole point #like climate and ethics are .. or were .. the core idea and now i guess its just fine to do whatever conventional companies are doing #yeah woohoo lets also do an app thing that forces people to sign up if they want reasonable prices!#smartphones the standard everwhere!#who needs anything physical if you can put it in an a phone so syphon off data directly out of people fingertips!! yea!!!#lets use AI pitcures bc we refuse to hire more graphic desingers and they are jsut so overworked uwu #climate? ethic? whats that #argh #sorry this needed to get out #recently had a stupid conversation with a coworker bc i asked them why we are okay with AI shit now when it goes against what this-#company was presumably founded on #and he was rly defensive and said welll we dont have time and its cheap and also maybe we should got WITH the time #like that last thing especially pissed me tf off #but i cant afford to lose this job #im starting to hate it more though so the dream of being able to stay like this might not be real #i cant get a job in this place that is as nice to my mental health so idk man #i wish i was good enough at merch and online stuff so i could live of that #but even trying to find out how taxes work on that stuff is a nightmare to me

the fancier sister of the canal view townhomes, this is the industrial canal district townhomes. nikolai and bambi will be moving here in year 4 spring. it features four townhomes and three single bedroom apartments.

#p #ts2 #sims 2 #sav: bloom valley #i defeated my demons. it's basic but it was my first time using cfe and grid adjuster #mind that up until smth like two years ago i just made boxes. that was the extent of my building #no common area this time. it made sense to me since this is more upscale so maybe not as community forward as the poorer place?#although the single room apartments here are defo more affordable than the others. way smaller though #bambi n niko will be in the biggest. it has two rooms with possibility to expand if i wall off a section on the top floor #you know. as the family grows #makes sense to move them now esp with niko finally getting into politics and getting paid way more #looking at the buildings around and knowing who will live where sdfjsdfjsfd lmfao

My biggest frustrations with the anti-vegan posts that garner thousands of notes on this app are they tend to always be points actively discussed in vegan spaces since their creation.

Veganism varies by circles and isn’t a protected word, so is absolutely used by Instagram dieters and misanthropes who have never considered the oppression of humans, but veganism has also has (and has had for decades) active discussion about the requirement to support human and social liberation alongside that of non-human animals. All leftist vegans I know firmly agree that non-human liberation of the environment and other animals is not going to happen and is futile without just as much focus on all the other injustices in a capitalist society. That includes a holistic boycott whenever possible of products and enterprises that harm humans alongside avoiding animal produce .

Of course like, the tumblr users making these posts probably haven’t seen these vegan circles or discussions because they’re not in them, and the health dieters and non-intersectional single issue focused activists are pretty vocal and infuriating, but still. It’s so infuriating to see people bringing these up as a gotcha towards veganism based off things that vegans have greatly in depth discussions, prioritising the voices of those whom are minorities, for so long.

#vegan #veganism #idk what tags the people on this site use ngl #anyway hi vegans of tumblr read animal liberation and social revolution 🥰#also if this escapes containment: I do not have anything against indigenous sustenance hunting or any survival based hunting #I don’t have anything against disabled people who need animal produce to live due to disability. I also don’t hate poor people who can’t #afford to make choices around avoiding harmful products that hold a financial monopoly 👍 just to get that out the way 😭#(wrt to the last one I’m of the radical opinion we should make it so everyone can use what they like instead of being limited to cheap item #. cheap as in those that are made with harmful labour or damaging to the environment)#cool weekly ramble over

Did papyrus get a canon age?

nah, i just go by the 95 in his undernet handle, which would put him at 20yo considering undertale came out in 2015. i know frisk didn't fall into the underground in 201*, but you spend the entire game going through the story with that impression and that's how papyrus is presented to you. i think doylistically it's meant to give a general idea of his age to the viewer and show that yeah: he is an adult, not a child.

#HE'S MY AGE!!!!!#srsly papyrus makes so much sense now that I'm actually 20 myself #how can i afford to live in my flat??? idk my parents pay for it #but I'm also going out making my own groceries and making my own food and living without them and handling my own documents #we're learning how to be people. that doesn't make us kids #answered asks #undertale #papyrus
