This is what Israel is doing to Gaza
This isn’t some post-apocalyptic movie scene.
This is what Israel is doing to Gaza.
And US tax dollars are paying for it.
This has nothing to do with fighting Hamas.
Israel wants to make Gaza unlivable and ultimately expel Palestinians.

As someone who's been a Team Starkid fan since the beginning, since 2009... do the young fans who only know hatchetfield know the old lore?? Do you know about crying in the choir room?? Do you know the door gag? Do you know Liam's got a phone call? Do you know about the iconic accidental sing along SanFran Con appearance? This isn't me being elitist or anything, I genuinely want to know! I just feel so very much older than all of you, all the time. Does anyone remember Tanya and her gay little blonde bob???
#starkid#team starkid#I remember every year during the summer I used to rewatch all their shows in order of upload#it didn't used to take so long#I can't remember the last time I did it#part of me misses pre Twisted Starkid#but then I realize I don't actually miss it#I miss being a kid and a teenager and not having to worry about bills and taxes and my next car insurance bill and next meal#Starkid is such a actual company but it has been for a while#I feel like people only take it seriously niw that they don't do blatant parody musicals#anyway I'm so excited for Cinderella's Castle#as number 1 fan and defender of Cinderella and her story I am pumped and excited to see what Starkid does with it#I pledged 25 dollars to the kickstarter cause that's all I had to give last month I was the 1964th pledger#I know new fandom always finds old fandom cringe and stupid but there was a simplicity back in 2009 that I'll always miss

"This is more about your ego and pride than Palestine" No its about putting pressure on a party that is supporting genocide
It's about logic
Biden and the DNC would rather cause dissent and dissatisfaction within their own party rather than call for a ceasefire
They know they can get away with it because they're a better option than Trump, because they know they could murder babies in front of you and you'll still vote for them.
So why would they call for a ceasefire when they don't need to?
That's why putting the pressure on them, saying they won't get our vote or saying we are looking for other options is so important.
Because that's the only way they will change.
By saying "Vote Blue No Matter Who", you give him and the DNC permission to permit genocide despite the vast majority of public opinion. You say they can do whatever they want because you will vote for them anyways.
You tell them they don't need to do anything else. That in fact they can do whatever they want. You've shown them you are so terrified of your own government that you would rather lie down and let it walk all over you than put any pressure on them at all
They have a year to make a change. Biden could end this all tomorrow, but why would he when he has you doing his dirty work?
#there is nothing to be proud of here there is no ego here#if anything i am deeply ashamed that my vote and my country has allowed this to get so bad and that my tax dollars have led to this#i didnt read the whole ask because it was abother essay but if you are implying im voting third party because of an ego you are part of#the problem here#but im sad because so many people i thought were friends or people i admired have shown they dont actually care abouot the world#if it were my country's people that biden was funding a genocide against they would still expect me to support it#i want desperately to never think about politics or any of this but when millions of lives are directly at the mercy of my government#the least i can do is not give them a pat on the back and look away for my own comfort#at least in finding out who to block and unfollow i guess#us politics#joe biden

i somehow feel like most public bathrooms probably use the floor toilets bc they're... probably cheaper....
i pondered about it for a bit so here are my offerings
#ask#askart#i don't think someone has to manualy clean the poo like the old days and theres a powerhose system that can sweep it down a connected drain#yes i think about these 24/7 im actually crazy#i know nothing about construction but does it cost more to make the same structure but to put half of it into empty walls? guess it does#but i belive in fluffverse tax dollars are used in these things as tax money is intended

Things I love about this ad for the T in Boston:
The train only helps you avoid “traffic” related torment. Who’s to say what other kinds of torments you may or may not experience.
Just Take The Train. Just Take It. Don’t Worry About It. Just Take The Train. Take It.
#superb use of our tax dollars if you ask me#Boston#MBTA#public transit#the T#I love you Boston. I love you mbta and the unspecified torments we are subjected to on it

I just think that if you pay a subscription for a service it should be illegal to then have pop-ups asking you to pay for more stuff. I want to kill intuit with hammers
#this is about quickbooks#intuit most evil of companies#unfortunately if you want to have your accounting work with pretty much any other person#like accountants or tax people#you just....have to have intuit!#and every time I log in they're like WOUDL YOU LIKE TO PAY A MILLION DOLLARS TO HAVE US DO YOUR TAXES#no intuit I would not!#I have your stupid service so I can have smart humans do my taxes!#I guess I could personally do my accounting by hand#but....my god I would fuck up so much#the ONE year I did my own taxes I got audited lol#(this is not to scare people about doing their own taxes - if you have a normal ass job you can do it)#(my taxes are decently complicated)#(and pls use the government's new service instead of evil intuit's dark patterning)#lauren says things#anyway

idc if its not true my only conspiracy theory is George made Rhaenyra’s tax policy a plot point that contributed to a huge event like the dragons being killed so people would stop making fun of him for the Aragorn comment
and he was SO real for that. i’m a high school history teacher so i gotta recognize george rr martin’s brave brave role being a frontline soldier in the war on “what’s aragorn’s tax policy” because turns out tax policy is actually that important for real. if you raise taxes marginally too high at the wrong time the people will rise up and burn their own city to the ground before they pay thirty cents extra for a stamp
#the us only exists because of one king’s annoying tax policy 250 years ago#what’s aragorns tax policy is a dumb question because tolkain wasn’t writing about the government like that#but it’s an interesting one if you the writer is interested in exploring state power and sociological issues#it’s like if rhaenyra made the price of a costco hotdog go up by 2 dollars in kings landing. of course they overthrew the government

Just for the record, there's a big post going around claiming that 20 million votes weren't counted in the election, and that has been debunked multiple times, and had zero evidence or sources to begin with other than someone on twitter claiming it out of thin air.
Kamala Harris has already publicly conceded her run.
Joe Biden just gave his own speech today at the White House, announcing that Trump won the election.
"Denying the results of the election (blue version, so it's Good This TIme)" is not something that is going to help anyone, least of all the people who are getting their hopes up that things can change, only to sink to even deeper despair come January when the handover happens.
Trump won. This is not something that can be magically "fixed" by "finding 20 million votes".
Trump won, and we need to accept, and absorb that reality to move forward.
You should have been preparing for this possibility as soon as Trump announced he was running again.
He had a 50-50 chance of becoming President, and now we are indeed in this "worst timeline" of a second Trump Presidency.
You need to stop denying this fact, work on accepting it, and make your plans to build a support network before things hit the fan.
Do not wait for January 6th, 2025 to accept the fact that Trump won the election.
Do not spend the next two months in denial.
If you think the world is going to go up in literal hellfire or nuclear apocalypse if Trump becomes President, then start prepping for that scenario now if you genuinely believe it:
Learn to grow your own food.
Learn to forage wild food safely.
Learn to live off the grid.
Learn to collect your own water.
Learn first aid.
Get a firearm license and learn how to use it properly.
If you truly believe the world is going to end and the apocalypse is gonna happen to America, then act like it and prep for it.
Otherwise, stop spreading fearmongering, stop doom posting, remember that America did not dissolve into a fallout-style lawless wasteland the last time Trump was President, take a deep breath, and start telling yourself the world is not going to end.
Join local neighborhood Facebook groups and start engaging with your neighbors and local community.
Start making friends and connections at the local level.
Join local political initiatives.
Join or start a community garden.
Don't trap yourself in denial, hoping the some miracle will happen and magically make it so Harris actually won the election.
The world is not going to end.
Do something that gets you out there and actively building a better future, one small step at a time.
#us politics#election 2024#kamala harris#donald trump#STOP FEAR MONGERING AND DOOM POSTING#He is not going to end the world in hellfire peeps otherwise he would have done it the first time#this man is going to rake in millions of more US Tax dollars by having dignitaries and secret service agents use his hotels#instead of actual official white house housing#he's gonna get even richer and make his buddies richer#and he's gonna be a corrupt racist piece of shit#but hes not gonna single handedly dissolve America into a lawless wasteland so stop acting like he is#if you care about what trump is gonna do then care about what he is going to continue from the democrat run of continuing to bomb overseas

Anytime I replay DAI and I get to that first conversation with Vivienne back at Haven, I take a long inhale Everytime she asks what I think about doing with the mages.
Like I know my Inky has not thought about this too much. She just knows her clan, but I think about it constantly and no answer I am offered is good enough to assuage my long rant that I yell at the computer for like 8 straight minutes before I choose the Mages Should Be Free line and get the inevitable Vivienne Greatly Disapproves
I love Vivienne a lot, I do, even with the differing political views, but Jesus Christ girlie pop never ask me that question again because I will go off Every Single Time
#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#dai#vivienne de fer#vivienne dragon age#madame de fer#the rant includes major reformation of the circle#the templar order#and the chantry#at the very least for the circles to stay a thing#because i do think they could stay a thing if we just changed like 80%-90% of it#maybe smaller and more numerous circles that just act as boarding schools#kids can go home and actually see their parents#no more tranquils as the funding for the circle#fereldans are gonna have to pay tax dollars if they really think circles are the best way to go about mages#studies to see how long a templar can go without lyrium while still effectively using their abilities and not going through withdrawal#bc im pretty sure that the chantry makes it seem like Templars need a lot more lyrium than they actually do#so they can keep a leash on them#also maybe find alternatives to lyrium for templars#cuz i really fucking hate the idea of them having to take an addictive drug#im ranting in the tags i need to stop#and this is all just to keep the circles a thing btw#the easier solution of course being having mages be free

bit out of the blue, but i was wondering if you have ever traveled outside of your country ? and have you ever thought about moving out to another country ?
Never traveled outside of the country and don't think I'll be able to. That is something really expensive and I simply Cannot Afford It (plus the whole issue with tourism hurting places as well but thats a whole other can of beans) but yeah I dont have the money for that
Though I have friends that live outside the US and I think it would be really nice to visit them all one day
#but yeah its thousands of dollars to leave the country and i cannot afford that#plus even if i were to move out i still have to pay US taxes until i pay the 'Leaving Tax' thing where its like#you pay over 3k to give up your US citizenship#otherwise you can live in another country for years but still pay us taxes
