if tumblr existed in 1984 (the year not the universe of the novel by the same name) you guys would genuinely be telling people not to vote bc walter mondale would be Just As Bad as ronald reagan. you guys would be saying that being anti ronald reagan instead of anti the whole system is liberal nonsense
#we are literally still being fucked over as a country bc of reagan’s two-term presidency#and trump’s long term political strategies lost us roe v wade and that was only one term#anyway if you’re american and you follow me please vote for biden. or at the very least stop judging people saying they will lol#voting is not an endorsement it’s a chess move#also i find it hard to believe people don’t realize how much worse trump would be in terms of palestine

if kamala harris wins and she continues to send money to israel, will liberals soothe and satisfy themselves with the belief that trump would’ve sent more, and therefore it’s okay that they did not push for better?
#the last time i kinda spoke abt this#biden was the democrat candidate#now it’s harris#point still stands#and it’s even more pertinent now#bc you can see her attempting to pander to potential republican voters#and in doing so she is endangering the very ppl who had vowed to vote for her no matter what#but whatever bc ppl were warned#smth else is that ppl think they can push her left once she’s in office#but once she’s in office you have no leverage???#there’s a certain level of laziness that comes with being liberal#and when you live in the imperial core#that has real world consequences that you are fortunate enough to have a lifetime of never confronting#that’s why you guys are so happy being like#lesser evil! lesser evil!#if you’re gonna vote kamala then fine#but at least make HER think you won’t so that she acc works for your vote#but anyways#liberals#liberal politics#kamala harris#america#usa politics

four to doomsday is a funny serial because it’s objectively kinda dull but it’s so SO good at showing us what makes fivey and his friends tick
#doctor who#especially because 5 is out of comission for a lot of Castrovalva#or at least he hasn’t quite settled into his rhythm yet#and 4todoom is an excellent example of how a ‘second ep’ is a vital part of a new doctors initiation#just plonk the doctor and Co down somewhere and see how they react!#we see his designated driver ‘oh shit where’s heathrow’ role#but also his energy and even a bit of mischief#making faces at the security bots and that little smile when he blocks the camera with his hat#and his tetchiness too - ‘ah! you’re spoiling my concentration >:(#I also love that scene where they’re watching the dancing and Tegan is like ‘what are we doing the vibes are off’#but five explains that he needs time to think so just look like you’re enjoying yourself#before cheerfully waving at their hosts#it’s a nice microcosm of how his outward ‘politeness’ is very much a facade#also we get some good scenes to show how team 5 works#nyssa and adric being impressed with the logic vs the doctor and Tegan’s knowledge of earth (and dry humour)#‘how’s your ancient history Tegan?’ ‘like I feel - awful -_-‘ ‘not to worry mines pretty good!’#iTS SO GOOD#I will defend this serial I have so many thoughts#fifth doctor#5th doctor#season 19#Tegan#adric#nyssa#classic who

The ‘vote blue no matter who!’ crowd is starting to get on my nerves. Like, I’m trying not to give away the game, but do they even know that we’re playing?
The point of loudly denouncing Biden and the Democrats NOW is to threaten them into stopping a fucking genocide that’s happening NOW. It is the only (legal) way we can threaten them as their constituents. It’s a game of fucking chicken! If the Dems were legitimately concerned about ceding office to Trump, they would take action NOW to try and recapture voters. But they don’t because they think they can get away with literal genocide and still win the Oval Office because voters like you are too chicken or too paralyzed to make a simple threat.
I don’t give a fuck what you do in the ballot box come November but jfc this is about collective bargaining and you cowards can’t even pretend to give enough of a fuck about a genocide to threaten your reps like??? Grow a fucking spine and do the bare fucking minimum of voicing your solidarity.
#ra speaks#personal#us politics#vote blue no matter who#genocide joe#YOU 👏 CAN 👏 LIE 👏! you can say out loud in public ‘I’m not going to vote for Biden’ and vote for genocide Joe in November anyway#I can’t say i (random internet user) will think highly of that future decision but at least you MADE A THREAT even if you couldn’t stomach#carrying it through. god. you claim to care and know so much about how broken the system is#but you can’t even play one of the few games we have left as voters to get leverage against people who do not care abt us.#‘trump will be worse!’ WHO IN PALESTINE WILL LIVE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE IF YOU CANT MAKE A THORNLESS THREAT TO A MAN WHO IS ‘BETTER’#‘we know you’re not firebombing Walmart op’ IM NOT. IM MAKING A POLITICAL THREAT OF WITHDRAWING MY SUPPORT.#IT IS LITERALLY THE FUCKING LEAST I CAN DO.#my followers know I’m very much a ‘everybody wants a glorious Revolution but no body wants to do the dishes’ kinda anarchist#I believe in the little incremental victories of mutual aid and community gardens.#but incremental victories will not save lives in Palestine right now. this is the time to BLUFF and THREATEN the ‘lesser evil’#into being you know. LESS FUCKING EVIL.#if you reblog this be real niceys to me or at the very least be fucking normal.

The thing is, you could’ve made Rogue entering to “I’m The Bad Guy, Duh.” easily make sense if you’d wanted to. You’d have just written that he thinks he’s a bad guy all cool and nefarious - Rogue neither refers to himself negatively, and the Doctor says he’s cool not him (admittedly you’d still have to explain him pre-approaching the string quartet to play it, or it be magic but whatever).
You have Rogue think he’s A Bad Boy, but the Doctor be all ‘no you’re not there’s a heart of gold there’. He wouldn’t have freed himself with an I Am A Time Lord speech giving himself authority over Rogue, it would be appealing to Rogue’s good side that he doesn’t actually want to incinerate him etc. Rogue would choose to do the ‘good guy’ decisions himself, not have them imposed. He’d convince Rogue killing the birds is wrong, not just take his stuff and modify it - he’d get Rogue to reveal his better nature. The Doctor would convince him to leave his gun on the ship.
This is what would bite them later, where they’d both know, maybe with just a look, that if Rogue could have just shot the birds stuck to the glue trap, they wouldn’t have been in this mess. With Rogue then acting correctly ‘sometimes you need someone to be the bad guy’ by taking the controller when the Doctor was busy snogging him and dispatching Ruby himself.
Leading into a finale where Ruby is in a different dimension and relying on her battle-earpiece skills to fend off 5 murderous birds as long as possible, giving us an opportunity to engage with whatever her reality warping powers are but it ‘could’ just be dimensional weirdness, and if the TARDIS was still the one who programmed the teleport she knows where Ruby is, and luckily for her if unluckily for the universe, the dimensions are now all bleeding at the edges and seeping out and Doctor Who is a TV show, yada yada yada.
#i know let it go#but assuming romantic warm paste#of the two new writers#(‘women be writing mr darcy in space’)#that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny#especially the ending#when analysed#feels so wrong to me#like i’m the last person who goes for#‘you’re not being particularly woke right now’#identity politics bullshit#but ‘sure there are plot holes#but it’s an austenian romance#you don’t need to look too deeply into it#sometimes you just need a bit of romantic fluff#this is why we need women writers cus they get that’#just ugh god#if this were a rusty episode#we’d be going#‘what does this tell us?’#‘how does it fit into the wider plot?’#‘what mirrors are there?’#but then not doing it for this episode cus other people wrote it#even though we picked apart moffat’s for meaning just the same#feels bad man#i’d prefer analysing and being wrong#(and i don’t think i am)#at least shows trust you think the writers can write well#i don’t get what’s happened to people here

You know what, fuck it. I shouldn’t have to leave because y’all decided to turn into antisemites. Here’s a tiny fraction of the shit that I’ve had to see every day:
Y’all fucking used us and pretended to give a fuck about us to make yourselves look better and then turned on us and abandoned as soon as it was no longer earning you cool leftist points. I’ve had to listen to so many goyim leftist claim all Jews are making up antisemitism while I have to live through it. I’ve had to listen to you people say that me and everyone like me should be killed. I tried to give you all the benefit of the doubt when I spoke out about antisemitism and you ignored me. I did the same thing when I saw people trying to argue against other Jews when they pointed out antisemitic stereotypes that where being perpetrated by the left. This was before the I/P conflict was even well known about in a lot of leftist spaces. I should’ve never given you that benefit, you didn’t deserve it. Leftist goyim are now saying the same genocidal Nazi shit I’m used to hearing from the alt right. Now I know that you fucks where just waiting for the opportunity to turn on us, and I won’t forget this. And I know so many of you are doing the same thing to the Palestinians that you did to us. You’re pretending to care about them and using them to look good. If you actually cared about them, you wouldn’t be turning this into a chance to be antisemitic because that just distracts from their movement. I’m gonna unfollow every fucker who’s complicit in this or perpetrating it. I don’t know who to trust anymore, but I know I will never trust any of you again.
#I don’t give a fuck about being polite anymore#and I’m done tip toeing around goyim feelings#tw antisemitism#my post#you don’t understand what it feels like to realize that the people you thought you were safe around want you dead#you don’t understand what it’s like realizing that you will never be safe in any queer space again because so many people think you’re#inheritly evil because of your ethnicity#I will never be able to be fully open about who I am anywhere ever#I’m going to have to hide at least part of myself for the rest of my life#even if being queer becomes more acceptable in the future

honestly I’m fucking tired of calling my reps and begging them to care
I’ve been calling them over and over and over for the past four months begging and pleading them to speak out about what is obviously genocide
I don’t think they listen, most likely their underpaid interns got instructed to throw notes or voicemails out, but even if they do they don’t fucking care. It’s exhausting.
The White House comment line is only open for 4 hours 4 days of the week during hours most people work. If you’re able to call and wait for 20 minutes to finally speak to an intern they take a brief note and you can only hope they don’t immediately throw it out.
I’ve been doing this since I was a child. begging my reps to care about children being shot in school. begging them to care about my own schools getting bomb and gun threats every year. begging them to care about the fact that people don’t feel safe around cops. begging them to care about the growing number of people in my city becoming jobless and homeless and dying of covid. begging them like a dog to care at all about people’s lives and happiness.
I don’t know. I’m just fuckin’ tired
I won’t give up though. It’s not the only form of activism I do or the main one I give my energy to. I hope the same thing for anyone reading this. You shouldn’t just be boycotting and calling your reps, you should be attending vigils and protests and speaking about the issue of genocide to your friends and family
I’m just tired of people pretending like our representatives actually give a fuck what we think over their lobbyists and investors cause it is and has always been clear to me that they don’t. America has never been a democracy and if you think that you are deluded.
#vent#don’t take this post as permission to give up 👍#tomorrow I will be calling my reps and playing for them the recording before Hind’s death. I heard it so they will too.#I’m just tired of being told to call my reps whenever an atrocity happens. like they will ever listen#I’m not on the right tax bracket for them to listen#.txt#after the Parkland shooting I participated in a school walkout organized by high schoolers all across the country#a political club at my school had a table to write letters to our reps about gun control. very nice and I of course wrote one#I just wish it would have been read and not immediately thrown out you know#I was in 1st grade recess when I learned about the Sandy Hook shooting#at least when you’re a kid politicians pretend to care about your opinions.#when you are a kid you’re told that your voice matters and that young people should speak up more but when you’re an adult you suddenly#aren’t old enough or mature enough to understand#your thoughts experiences hopes dreams and feelings don’t matter until you’re 35 I guess and even then it will always be something#they only care if you have money to give them

Kinda crazy that young people are asking for laws and policies that ensure that we won’t die in a horrific or violent way and the response of the Republican party is to essentially give us the middle finger and say we shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
#like those crappy answers about climate change at the debate last week#were in response to a young voter asking about climate policies#and yet! the candidates almost all acted like climate change wasn’t real or at least wasn’t that important#and then there’s the fact that the GOP takes money from NRA and therefore opposes any meaningful gun legislation that could prevent school#shootings#oh not to mention their policies around abortion#if you’re not going to take action to prevent people from dying that what is the fucking point of you being in government#text#climate change#gun control#us politics

If you have a representative in your state that voted against funding the government last night, look up why they voted nay. Look up what they think is more important than keeping the government funded
I looked up Mike Quigley’s reasoning. He said nay in protest to funding for Ukraine being dropped. He has a point that in a month when this comes up again republicans will try to cut it because they could the first time. He didn’t want to see funds for them dry up despite the fact that there’s still bipartisan support
All the “freedom caucus” that voted against it had the chance to come up with a compromise bill more in their favor. If they hadn’t been so extreme then the senate probably would have passed a bill with a few cuts to ensure there wasn’t a shut down. They have no one but themselves to blame
#us politics#republicans#democrats#congress#make sure you’re registered to vote#and if you can vote in person#in 2020 i don’t think my mail in got counted cause i only got the notification for it being received#less chance of getting misplaced if you vote in person#but if you can’t vote in person use mail in#it’s your country#your stuck with whoever’s in charge#for at least 2 years

I wouldn’t have been mad if this was the first or second episode of the season tbh
#Alex rambles#the mandalorian s3#I mean the writing was very stupid in parts but in a way that was very on par with the previous seasons#something you can forgive because you can at least feel what they were going for and taking things lightly and awkwardly charming#if you’re willing to offer the show some good will#and if it doesn’t want to delve into anything too serious like. I dunno. intergalactic politics#minor spoilers for the following two thoughts I guess#din setting his kid down to have a training paintball fight with Paz’s kid was silly and great and very Mando typical I assume XD#I also assume that it is a mandalorian right of passage to be swallowed by some huge beast#would have been very cool if Bo-Katan had some flashbacks too in the forge#I love the idea that the forging of beskar has some inherent magic to it#since both din and grogu had their traumatic little flashbacks then#would love to learn more about what exactly IS the Creed and the Way#because so far it is anything one labels it as such#is some Mando philosophy so much to ask in a show that is supposedly also about the different branches and beliefs of what makes a Mando?#I’m starting to feel that ‘I love [insert name of the titular character here]. would love to see him in his own damn show more’#is a sentiment that might apply here as well… may I be wrong though#kinda like din just being there in the background. that seems very in-character for him. but you know…#a bit more of him and his pov would be nice

*shaking milquetoast liberals by the shoulders* you need to make choices. you need to make decisions about how you interact with a larger political movement. you cannot look to the people around you to tell you what your opinion ‘should be.’ you cannot get caught up in the tide of a movement without being victim to its worst actors. you are the only person responsible for educating yourself, consulting conflicting sources, understanding their context, and coming to a conclusion aligned with your ethics. ‘let’s all be real niceys :]’ isn’t an actionable ethical or political stance.
#ra speaks#personal#current events#it’s just. so clear so many people are just trying to be the most agreeable person on the room.#they don’t want to cause offense they don’t want to fuck up ever.#like no! you need to be okay with making other people uncomfortable! you need to be okay with making other people mad!#never giving yourself the option to get something wrong and learn and grow from that regret is a bad thing#learn! grow! speak! listen! you are not an NPC you are alive and you should be cognizant of the movements and politics around you#outside of being the least controversial person in the room.#god didn’t put my dykefag ass on this earth to make people comfortable in my presence and my opinions.#idk why you’re alive but no one exists to keep the peace or people please to the point of self alienation

it could also just be that a lot of simblrs are side blogs or not main blogs. I have been posting nothing but education about the genocide happening in Palestine on all my main accounts but my simblr is really just for sims. Maybe that's the issue you're running into?
yeah i get that but can’t you reblog stuff on sideblogs too? mine is not a side blog so i don’t know the specifics but why not use both accounts to spread awareness? why just have a specifically sims account? maybe this is why simblr sometimes feel like a bubble because i don’t know if people just wanna separate their sims content from non sims stuff just cause or is it because you don’t like mixing geopolitical issues and current events bc you don’t care? or is it a privilege to be able to create that bubble or safe space? i think there’s difference between creating safe spaces and choosing to create a space where you want to be ignorant of the world around you without criticism 🤷🏾♀️
#you do what you wanna do but me? im gonna be real and political regardless where i go#i personally don’t like seperating sims from non sims because i want this blog reflect my own values and interests#me being vocal about various marginalizations belongs to be alongside my edits because i cannot separate my art from my beliefs#especially as a black person…but hey at least you’re doing something anon!#🪐 speaking#asks#anon

what didn't you like about it, out of curiousity?
Hmm I’m gonna have to think on it it some more and come back to you when I’ve managed to articulate something
#I will try to get back to you later anon#I didn’t hate it. there were scenes that made me laugh and smile#but I think the prevailing feeling it’s left me with is… confusion/frustration/dissatisfaction? about the message insofar as it had one?#hmm and I think also because it made me remember how much I disliked and felt alienated by barbies growing up#not bc of the body image issues which the film makes some effort to engage with#not beauty standards but FEMININITY standards#and the movie doesn’t acknowledge that aspect of barbie as a cultural influence/reflection at all#except for maybe Allen if you squint??#the assumption is that you want to be barbie at least to some extent. you want to be pretty.#but you’re too stressed to accomplish it or you’re too angsty to embrace your desire to be pretty#the angsty teen goes from wearing all black (and pants) to a purple skirt by the end. the girly makeover subtly signifies healing.#(I know that could just be me reading into it… but is it?)#it’s the way it holds up a specific kind of person as Woman and universalizes her struggles and calls them All Women’s Struggles#while conflating them and largely ignoring actual economic/legal/political issues faced by women as a class#and the whole ken storyline… ehh idk I need it to be more internally consistent or something. to have a coherent message and not just#‘it was like I was in a trance where I thought I cared about the Zack Snyder cut of the Justice League’ as a joke about… what?#male-dominant interests being somehow inherently toxic? cool women not being into nerdy boy stuff?#it’s the old men are from mars women are from venus thing#sigh. girl power. lol I don’t know!#sorry this rambling is all I have for you right now#I thought the critique in youtube by verilybitchie touched on a lot of good points tho so maybe that’s somewhere to start#on* youtube#but it’s ok if you liked or loved it. I saw it with my sister who was super psyched for it (which is why I wanted to like it too)#and she’s great so

I still have my university’s town on my weather app just so I can peek at it in winter and gloat that I’m not there anymore:
#🎃 cryptid sighting#I’m sorry to all you poor souls stuck smack in the top-center states but I did my time for 6 winters. I’m good.#I hope you’re all staying safe. At least cities up there are usually better at dealing w/those conditions than like here-#- where we get a few inches (if that) of snow or drop below 20 and everything grinds to a halt & people lose their minds#I don’t miss feeling the inside of my nose freeze. I think along with my shitty circulation & corpse-hand situation that was the worst. :/#There’s a lot to feel grateful for not being in MT right now & not all of it’s the politics#That’s -25.56 C
