"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]
okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.
The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?
Yeah, fucking absolutely.
But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.
You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.
Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]
Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]
There are options.
There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.
#have you looked at what's happening in New York & the subways#There's so many reported shootings and deaths and it just seems to be getting worse.#I just looked up subway shooting ny because I wanted to check before saying something#There's reports from like 3 hours ago about someone getting pushed in front of one of the moving subways & there's so many others#or how about the like thousands of police officers that they've got stationed at subways in ny literally doing fuck all#or how everyone's going through a housing crisis and cant afford rent and cant get medical care because it can cost#$4000 to get a fucking ambulance and that's cheap. That's a ride to the hospital less than 20 minutes away probably.#or the rise in hate crimes and bigotry and all the shit they're now trying to censor with the kosa bill#or how terrifying places like Florida have became for anyone thats not seen as an equel by people who dont view most others as equels.#or how they're pouring billions into wars while we're in the midsts of a homeless crisis#suicide rates are at record levels in the us and it's only going to get worse. theyre pulling telehealth which will take away#life saving medical care for people who dont have the ability to go in person. people's ability to get therapy and meds being taken away#Is going to kill people. or how the Biden administration has fucked up their Covid response so goddamn badly#people are referring to the pandemic in past tense and have lost understanding for others who they'd have understood before#they've lied and they've concealed and its killing millions of people and disabling even more. but they will not take accountability.#long covid is ruining people's lives and they've successfully led the narrative that its not real or not that serious.#they will sit there and they will lie. they will say they've protected women's rights and that its a top priority.#they'll say that healthcare is a top priority but have suggested that they'd veto a healthcare for all bill because of its price tag#but will spend billions and billions and billions on a genocide that the majority is against. the system isn't going to begin collapsing#it already is.#its crumbled and we must demolish the corrupt remains and rebuild a better government that gives a shit about people#ALL people.#they use basic human rights as bargaining chips.#the Democrats and Republicans on a Venn diagram is a circle. wake up.

context: i just got home and there was a trailer parked right in front of my building that wasn't there when i left about an hour ago. it's not blocking anything. it's probably being lived out of. i opened the door to the building just as my neighbor was opening the door from her unit to the entryway.
her (clearly joking): that's your trailer, isn't it? me (innocently): what trailer? her: oh, you didn't notice? [she opens the building door. the trailer is visible from the door and is probably 15 feet away] i'm taking a picture. me (still innocently): oh, what for? her: [pauses] me: is it hurting anything? her: uh, my serenity? me (as though it's not rhetorical): i mean, where are they supposed to go? her: well, i don't know… me: if they're not hurting anything…i don't know. her (somewhat abashed): well, now you're making me feel like a shitty person… [closes the door] me: you're not a shitty person. i just don't know where they're supposed to go. her: yeah. me: they don't bother me, i don't bother them. you know? her: i'm a compassionate person. i just don't like it to be right in my face. me: it's hard. i think it's harder to be them, though. her: oh yeah. it does make me appreciate my life more. me: totally.
i had to pretend to be a lot more sympathetic with her than i actually am, and kind of implied other things i don't believe (e.g., that homeless people only have the right to exist in public insofar as they aren't bothering anyone), and it left a bad taste in my mouth. but ultimately, she didn't take the picture.
#right after i said i'm incapable of faking emotion...i am however capable of faking being a clueless idiot#it comes naturally because i am actually oblivious most of the time lol#anyway. idk why i'm recording this it's just like. hard to figure out how to have these conversations and how to change mindsets & behavior#and maybe she'll just go take the picture later when i'm not watching. but at least now she knows her mindset is#not the default and not universally shared. which is i think what she thought before given how she opened the conversation#my posts#homelessness

Wish the party loyalist "stop making Harris look bad bc Trump" people would realize that a) denying reality is exactly what the right does and b) it is on the candidate to win votes by not being a genocide enabling sellout moderate getting endorsed by the fucking Cheneys for her hawkishness on foreign policy while promising little for people at home, not on the voter disillusioned by said issues that the candidate could rectify
#i say i'm done but seeing another one of those posts will make me roll my eyes hard again#this has been going on since 2016 and it's wild how much narrower the overton window has gotten to push these neoliberals#trump is shit but his being shit does not absolve blue team of the shit and blood on their hands#people really need to demand more for their votes#when they lose GA and NC bc of reneging on those $2K checks or saying no to giving Helene victims more aid#[and likely FL too if they follow suit with Milton swinginess aside]#the same people will likely rage at the people left to their rubble for not voting harder#like i'm sure they have at the muslims so rightly outraged at our support for the 🇵��� genocide that they refuse to vote for either party#meanwhile i get an email from work saying we have more payroll deductions this next year for our healthcare plans and there's been no talk#of M4A or even some mealy-mouthed means-tested version of it to win votes#and ofc there's student loans starting back up and their burning even more youth votes they were already losing with Gaza#let alone record homelessness... a housing crisis... lead/chemical poisonings... and so on#'we can push her left' they say knowing she takes money from people opposed to her going left on any policies--#and that they're going to brunch anyway#'fascism 2 is coming' *points at Dem-admin/Dem-mayor cop cities* *points at IG accounts being censored bc of being pro-Palestine* been here#anyway pre bed vent over 😴

if you're e-begging you really can't be implying or straight up calling someone a piece of shit for not donating to you because youre (x) marganalised identity or whatever in the same post that youre asking for money. well, you can, but if you act shocked that you're then not getting any donations, i promise you it's not because people hate that you're trans and disabled.
#charlie.txt#this isnt about a specific person for the record this is SUCH a pervasive thing#'donate to me you piece of shit im about to be homeless.' lol. no??#there seems to be this idea on tumblr that just because youre marganalised or going through a rough patch that you can talk to anybody#however you want. and it doesnt work that way! it just doesnt. your first impression on people DOES actually count for something and you#need to grow up.#be angry. sure.#its frustrating when a much more privileged person gets donations and you dont#but if you cant understand why shittalking your potential supporters on the same post youre asking for money is harming you then idk what to#say to you. hope you find a masochist paypig ig.

#Not just non-American lives.#I said on here in 2020 if Biden was elected most of those white people at the George Floyd protests would disappear.#Because politics is a game to be won for them.#Team Biden won so Championship parade and go home everybody.#Police killed a record number of people last year.#Covid is still killing and disabling people.#You criticize Biden and people automatically say think about what will happen to People of color and the disabled if Trump wins.#We don't have to.#If you were paying attention you'd know.#So four years later I'll say it again.#White liberals are afraid of Trump because he makes them feel like niggers in America.#It isn't fun when the laws you thought protected you suddenly don't anymore. That's a new feeling for them.#And they will swallow whatever horrible thing Biden does to avoid that feeling.#Because when you vote for the lesser evil you are still voting for evil. Evil they're willing to swallow.#And most of us are tired of our struggles only mattering when middle class white people start catching hell too.#The country is in collapse.#The marginalized folks see it#homelessness is skyrocketing.#And as someone on Twitter just said..the war always comes back home.#They think it matters who is in control when it falls apart.#T. S. Eliot said not with a bang but a whimper.

rewatched nerdy prudes must die for the first time since the digital ticket premiere and i’ve been on a “thinking about the spankoffski brothers” kick recently and something sort of notable is that ted is never mentioned. pete mentions his dad in the present tense, (sells women’s shoes,) so he’s still around, mentions his mom in the past tense, (made him do tap as a kid,) so who knows if she’s still alive/in pete’s life, but ted isn’t mentioned once unless i missed something
but his connection to ted is still acknowledged, with the line richie says about how pete looks like the homeless guy, (which, ouch, thanks for that.) pete actively draws attention to his last name being spankoffski, and the nightmare time episodes that dropped before the release of npmd made it a point to show that pete is ted’s little brother and that he looks up to him. obviously there are some differences between the realities but not usually in who is related to who, or any major changes in how one person feels about another, so it’s safe to assume ted is still pete’s big brother, and that pete still cares about ted, making it a little weird that he never even mentions his brother
… unless ted is an sore subject in a way his parents aren’t, someone he’d rather not think or talk about. afaik, we don’t have any clue what age pete usually is when ted presumably goes “missing,” so i sort of wonder if this is a reality where ted has already “gone missing,” and the reason that ted is never mentioned despite ted’s last name being considered a “spoiler” and the material released before npmd going “PETE IS TED’S BABY BROTHER BTW AND PETE CARES ABOUT HIM��� is because he’s already gone and pete’s like… mourning
#I’ve seen some fics about ted and pete interacting during the events of npmd#and for the record i like these fics a lot! but I kinda wonder if the intention was that Ted is already gone#ted showing up in person would have been difficult obviously since joey plays both him and pete but Pete never mentioning him feels…#intentional y’know? like an intentional omission#ted spankoffski#peter spankoffski#npmd#nerdy prudes must die#there was originally going to be a scene where grace pins max’s murder on the homeless guy#and he babbles that he didn’t do it his brother did with nobody understanding or believing him#but nick said it got cut. i just think it’s interesting that the only planned Ted appearance for a story focused on Ted’s brother#was his time displaces homeless self and not the Ted pete would have known

#fuck the supreme court#they ruled cities can enforce bans on homeless people sleeping outdoors in West Coast areas where shelter space is lacking#one of the cities closest to me was involved on the case#from personal experience the cops and locals there are heartless#and said people absolutely refuse to invest money into much needed shelters and programs#the only options people have are this church where if you don't do free labor and convert they kick you to the curb#or the small flimsy shelter that can barely house 20 people#i get it that people are coming to a head with the homeless crisis but this ruling is just going to make the problem worsd#by making it so people get more comfortable treating human beings on the street like animals#the city's rules effectively punish homeless people by restricting camping on public spaces and issuing penalties for violations of the rule#it keeps people trapped in a perpetual cycle cause if they cant pay the citation fees it goes on their records and then they can't get work#and you need an address for most jobs etc etc etc#I'm not surprised this is the outcome but i am extremely disappointed#especially when more than half the assholes that live in said city are 1 to 2 paychecks away from being homeless and most are elderly#or disabled in some way#im sorry for the tangent guys#but having been homeless within the last few years through external factors i couldn't control#this has me pissed on behalf of others going through it#magenta#magenta is my vent word

People are so fucking ridiculous what the hell are we gonna do to help any other country if Trump gets in office again bc that's what's gonna happen if people keep voting for Jill Stein because IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. It seems like she's getting a promising amount of votes but it's really just because you're ON YOUR PHONE TOO MUCH. No matter what you do, we are stuck with the two party system for now. Is it corrupt and unfair that we have to settle for someone that lots of people can't fully put their confidence behind? Yes. But you won't even be able to protest that if Trump is in office again. He is fucking insane. If it were almost anyone else I would say people can go ahead and vote third party if they want to but not him. I'm sorry that we have a corrupt system but some of you need to take a step back into reality and think rationally for two seconds. You are not going to fix the two party system just by voting third party in elections because not enough people vote third party for it to matter. Vote to avoid the looming, VERY CLOSE threat of project 2025 before anything else because if we let that happen, there is quite literally a zero percent fucking chance of helping Palestine. One side has a chance and the other has none. Third party has never worked. Take your pick.
#before anyone says “well project 2025 is already in motion” so do you wanna fuckin stop it from being completed or what#i am unable to vote so i have to sit and hope that the rest of my gen z makes the smart choice#perhaps not the choice you want to make but it is absolutely the smartest one considering the opposition#i will be homeless if i vote because it's public record if you do or don't and my dad knows that i will not vote for trump#he knows i don't like trump and it's fine as long as i don't bring it up and don't vote for anyone else#he's a fucking dickhead doing this when he knows it's impossible for me to get my own place

Outside of light bright’s always being weirdly colorist (natural mixed female….. you’re saying that about yourself? If so, let me guess, the mother is of the completion of a napkin. It all makes so much sense.) can people please learn to not record complete strangers in public, please.
#she went viral recording a woman with a BBL at the gym and the woman ended up DMing her and now this lady is getting backlash and doesn’t#seem to care in the slightest for trying to make fun of someone else’s appearance by claiming that it’s a public space and that she can do#what she wants#I feel like if you see someone recording you if you even so much as catch a whiff of it then it should be within your right to push these#people onto train tracks#it’s just so mean spirited#it’s grammar school levels of bullying#taking videos and pictures of ppl in order to go viral and have people laugh at them because you think they look#ugly ridiculous and stupid#same thing with ppl recording people having an episode that they cannot control#people talking to themselves the homeless fat people#etc#you just come out looking like a weirdo at the end of the day#recording people without their knowledge and consent should be a crime tbh especially if it’s done with malicious intent in order to shame#them#or bring harm to them#rambling

Thank you car dealership for finally telling me that the problem you’ve been willfully ignoring for four years is in fact a problem and will cost me $1500
#I also need a new phone and this is why I’m going to be homeless someday#and for the record the phone is six years old I don’t want any sass#and the phone I had before that one I had for eight years

I keep loads of basic supplies in my car because there are so many homeless people in my city. I'm leaving the gym, and this dude stops and asks for a light. While I'm handing him my lighter, he asks if I have any water. I say I only have Gatorade right now, and move to my trunk and tell him he's welcome to anything he needs back there. He picks up some soap, sniffs it, and says, "This is all garbage. Nobody wants this," and left. And, like, I'm not sure if I need to rethink what I'm stocking my car with or if he was just an asshole.
#for the record i have shampoo. conditioner. body soap. deodorant. toothbrushes and toothpaste. hothands. dental floss. tampons. blankets.#and a bunch of snacks that have a long shelf life (granola bars. bagged nuts. stuff high in fat or protein) and Gatorade#oh and little backpack things in case someone needs something to carry shit in#like. i know the hothands and blankets are seasonal. but it's still cold.#and the rest is stuff that makes life a little less shit.#i also have travel ibuprofen packs. i forgot about that one.#but like. none of it seems usless.#it's not like I'm out here handing out 'money' that's actually a pamphlet on why jesus is cool#so I'm thinking he was just having a particularly shit day#if i could afford it I'd just give people $50 or whatever and it's not my business where that's used#but i can barely pay my rent right now so i gotta be cheaper so I don't also end up homeless#i do want to get sunscreen and rain jackets now that we're moving into spring. but money is tight...#i also thought about adding in books because it has to be boring doing fuck all all day and maybe that could be enjoyable?#i really don't know#but I'm apparently not doing it right so i need to improve somehow#not even being sarcastic about that. if I'm not doing good i need to know where I'm fucking up

it's funny how sometimes i think me & my parents have similar political views and then they'll say something offhand and i'll be like okkkk no.
#this is in honour of my dad saying something long the lines of 'what's wrong with this country?' completely straight faced#girl you may be middle class in your 50s with yourmortgage paid off#we have a housing crisis a cost of living crisis record homelessness and like 50 other things#not to mention record hse waiting lists qnd that dublin is the most expensive city to live in on the whole fucking continent#like i have evidence that you're not this ignorant normally. cop on#they'll say that and then be like okk we can't go to a public hospital though because we're going to be there for days. like that's normal

that poll about moving out has reminded me, once again, that despite having secured legit permanent housing (my name will be on the lease in a few months!) i don't have the proper documentation to change my address when i renew my driver's license next week. the address on my current one is for a building that is no longer registered as a street address because of the fire last summer. and i don't have the proper documents to change it
#personal shenanigans#i have no idea yet if this will stop me from renewing my license#i've been researching but i can't find shit as far as my state's laws#stuff about renewing licenses? easy to find#stuff about changing addresses? easy to find#stuff about changing your address while renewing your license? no fucking idea#what do you do if you're technically homeless?#what do you do if you're just sort of floating in the void?#am i going to be forced to keep an invalid address on record?#because i don't have mail from my guy's apartment with my name on it?#i hate this shit#suddenly having that old address on file is causing me so many issues#i'm trying to hunt down my w2 from my last job#and it was way harder than it needed to be to make a doctor's appointment#bc the address kept coming back as invalid#i am so tired!!#and i still have things that smell like smoke from the fire
