Autonomic failure (dysautonomia) as a disorder is so wild. Sometimes it’s like oopsie, didn’t get enough salt today, time to lie on the floor with my legs elevated until the blood comes back up to my core and my heart rate normalizes.

Other times I’ll catch a glimpse of Donald Trump talking on social media and get so blindingly angry I literally go blind from my blood pressure spiking so hard my vision goes black and wake up on the floor like, oh, that’s right, extreme emotion makes me syncope.

Like what do you mean???? That’s crazy. That’s some Victorian fainting couch shit. Someone better send me to the seaside for my health and also possibly sedate me. Haha. No. Please, seriously, for the love of God. Sedate me.

Late stage Capitalism. This is what Trump, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Thiel, Mercer, Crow, Koch, Walton, DeVos, etc have planned for all of us.

Look, I will get back to my fandom shitposting in November if we all survive, but I need to make one thing very fucking crystal clear:

You WILL vote for Kamala Harris this fall. You will.

If you care about Palestine, you will vote for Harris, who has called for a ceasefire.

If you care about prison reform and changing the horrifically racist and classist prison pipeline, you will vote for Harris, who, as a prosecutor in California, kept hundreds of black men out of prison for minor "drug" (marijuana) offenses and only sent a handful to be incarcerated.

If you're a woman and you want to be able to live your life and make your own choices in it, you will vote for Harris.

If you are BIPOC and want to retain your freedom and your right to vote, you will vote for Harris.

If you're any flavor of LGBT and want to retain your right to exist, you will vote for Harris.

If you're an immigrant and you'd like to avoid deportation, a concentration camp, or death, you'd better fucking vote for Harris. If you're not a citizen yet, get your friends and neighbors to vote Harris.

Trump wants to be a dictator with unlimited, unquestioned power and a corrupt government beholden to him. He's said as much himself. The unhinged bigot frequently says the quiet part out loud, in the midst of his nonsensical ramblings.

Kamala Harris is level-headed, strategic, a cunning and experienced politician and lawyer. She's eloquent and delightfully sassy, but that last one's just my own opinion.

Donald Trump is a jabbering weirdo, a felon, a rapist, and he wants to kill, remove, or enslave everyone in this country who's not a wealthy cis het white man willing to lick his boots.

A third party vote is a vote for Trump. Not voting is a vote for Trump (I know. I and many people I know didn't vote in 2016).

A vote against Trump means only one thing: Vote. For. Harris.

It shouldn't even be a fucking question.

Friends and strangers alike. This system that operates America has brought on a wake-up call for so many people, and that includes me. It’s because of this system that we need change, and fast, or we will all be six feet under. And I know that all seems hopeless now, now that our fates have been sworn against us, but that's only if we let it. This, is The Declaration of We, The People.

We demand a fair country. We demand liberty and justice for not just the select few, but for all. Let the poor have their fill and eat the rich, let the women live their lives without the unwanted touch of man. Let there be room for every queer under the sun’s reflection, let the disabled live their lives without the condemnation of the abled. Let your right to live and heal be priceless without the interference of the greedy, let the bare necessities not take up the fortunes in your hands. Let humanity be a part of nature, not overpower it, let humanity be free from judgement based on the parts of them that are immutable. It’s nothing less or more than what we deserve.

Your oppressors want you dead, and that is why you need to live, if you can- live and be free. Get that botched haircut, get those piercings, give a listen to that song, give that snack a try- live while you can, because damn it, you only have one life to live, and you are not gonna live it in pain and fear. If you can't live for yourself, find someone or something to live for- a friend, a family member, an acquaintance, a pet, a lover, someone you wish was your lover, hell, an enemy if you need to. Maybe find a song to live for, a plush, a goal, a wish, a feeling. I don't care what your reason to live is, I don't care how big or small it is, I just need it to keep you alive. And if you can’t live, despite everything, the least I can ask is for you to not die for nothing.

I know you’re terrified. Terrified of the wicked people in control, terrified of your lives getting into a twist. Terrified of the torture the following years will determine. I’m scared, too, but I need you to know something- you can’t become a part of a statistic. If you’re gonna go out, don’t go out like a flickering bulb- go out like Icarus, when he collided with the sun. Go out like the Phoenix, and rise from the ashes your oppressors created. Fight with everything you can, be it through words and speeches, through marches and protests, or through the guns conservatives swear by. If you're going down, take America’s cruelty with you. Don’t wait for the world to be ready for you- make it be ready for you.

If you want to keep your peace, keep your peace. If you want to bathe in your false president’s blood, bathe in his blood. This battle for the land of the free is yours to fight, and the way you fight is yours as well. But let me tell you something- we are not gonna live on a prayer and a smile, we are gonna live by putting our bloodied foot forward. Did queer people get their right to marry and to transform by making puppy eyes at their president? Did women get their right to vote by sitting around and looking pretty? Did the colored get their right to live in equality by biting their tongue? No- they fought, every damn day of their lives. And respectfully, I ask you to fight too, however you can. If you don't know how to fight, have someone teach you- and if you can't handle that, teach yourself. But I still ask you to fight.

I know, I know all seems hopeless, that a heartless man as your president seems inescapable- but so did the divine right of kings, once upon a time. We've seen things like this a million times, even if it doesn’t look like it- when there's progress, there's pushback. People will fight with their blood, sweat, and tears, only to get cut short by those who were supposed to represent them. Well, guess what? The cut will scab over, and the battle will rage on, and the fire won’t stop burning until we get the lives we deserve. We declare that we have the right to live, and we will fight for it.

Feel what you need to, but frankly, I refuse dystopia, I refuse hate, I refuse control- and I especially refuse death. I have disobeyed worse than you- my friends do not die on my watch. They want America to be ‘great’ again? Well, we, the people, will make America free again. ----------- obviously, i know what you're probably thinking; "krista what the fuck. krista a tumblr post isn't gonna do shit" and i completely understand where you're coming from- hell, before the election, i'd agree with you!! i would love to get up on a stage and recite this word-for-word. i would also like to live to my 18th birthday first, this year.

and i know what else you're probably thinking; "lol you say that and yet nobody's gonna do shit" and what are you doing?

yeah, i am WELL aware this is very idealistic, especially for the times we're gonna be living in. all seems hopeless, i completely understand that. BUT we need to have some sort of vision for our fight to live, or we're just gonna die- if not die, then live MISERABLY.

love your people. they're all you really have, right now.

hilarious that with each new day that passes a new bit of dirt from JD Vance's past gets discovered and plastered over the internet...it's almost as if this is why presidential campaigns have always announced their running mates well before the convention...so that if glaring issues with a candidate came to light quickly there would be time to replace them on the ticket before they were officially locked in...it's almost as if certain things in political campaigns were done for a reason, donald...because the very same critical failures had happened before...but no i'm sure you and your guys attempt to recreate a fantasy version of history while ignoring all the reasons that history was a disaster will work this time...because you are built different and the 10000th time trying fascism will work like a charm...

[republicansaredomesticterrorists]

They have no idea what they are doing. It’s like watching monkeys playing with guns.

[hussyknee]

If I spat the bile this rose in my throat in this fascist, death-worshipping maniac's face it would melt the flesh off his skull.

At the same time as Dems were pouring sympathy on the orange baby's boo boo today, Israel massacred nearly a hundred Palestinians in the designated safe zone of al-Mawasi. The only hospital in Gaza is just barely functioning after having been shut down by the Zionists. Of the three hundred injured it's unsure who will be able to get any treatment or survive.

So MAGA is losing their mind because Tim Walz's family has come out to be supporters of him.

Now people are claiming its AI but my thoughts?

WHO CARES??

This isn't the flex that MAGA idiots like Laura Loomer, Marjorie Taylor Greene and etc. think it is.

I think this will resonate with people but NOT in the way MAGA folk think it will since we ALL HAVE at least ONE PERSON who supports the 34 time, McDonalds and Ivanka loving, Convicted Felon Con Artist Scammer Raping Pedophile

And if anything? This makes me love Tim Walz even MORE since he just strikes me as a normal, cool guy who has a few crazy family members and sticks to his morals like glue!

If anything this just makes me even MORE disgusted with MAGA since they had to willingly search for Tim Walz's family to try to bring this guy down.

Again....please let's all vote these clowns OUT come November 5th and I recommend MAIL IN BALLOTS! And if you do Mail In Ballots PLEASE distribute them at the USPS Mail Posting Office so NO MAGA will try any nonsense.

Please and Thank You 🙏🏻😌

"It's really sad Trump had to sign a bill that says there are only two genders."

You know what? It is really fucking sad. It's fucking sad that one man has the power to invalidate millions of trans Americans. It's really fucking sad that queer people are told they don't exist. It's really fucking sad that America would rather have a rapist fascist run our country than protect our marginalized communities.

The biological truth is that what's in my fucking pants, chromosomes, or reproductive system doesn't dictate whether I should wear blue or pink. Whether I present feminine and masculine. Whether I like girly, boyish, or androgynous things.

I am a trans person. I am here. And I don't fit into your two gender binary.

All my queer siblings are valid. And no matter what you do to us—we'll be here. We'll be fighting.

i get this sick feeling that certain leftists, especially white leftists, who are abstaining from voting or voting third party & are still encouraging others to do the same while being the loudest at complaining about "vote shaming" 🙄 will be the type, if heaven forbid trump wins, to suddenly go silent on them being far left & will GLEEFULLY turn in their neighbors a la the 1940s if only to save themselves.

they've made it clear that only certain types of genocides count to them, they're ignoring actual Palestinians who are BEGGING people to vote for Harris, & they've been glossing over how trump is bibi netanyahu's preferred candidate because they need to focus really hard on punishingnthe black woman. these leftists are death cult accelerationists who are okay with fascism as long as it affects those who "deserve" it, such as citizens of the US & Ukraine & eventually the rest of Europe should trump win, NATO gets abandoned, & putin gets to do whatever the fuck he wants.

these leftists are vile. i don't care that you claim genocide is your hard line because i don't believe you. say as much as you want on your privileged soap box but i'm not seeing you go to prison for not paying your taxes because last i checked ALL of our taxes are funding this so like it or not you're just as complicit & your shiny slogan words won't be able to cancel that.

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU'RE THE HERO YOU CLAIM TO BE. you will ABSOLUTELY throw neighbors, acquaintances, hell maybe even friends & family under the bus after a period of time in order to save your own skin & please the authoritarians in charge. you're a dangerous enemy.

you have no plans about how to handle a trump presidency & all i hear when y'all claim we're already in a fascist country is you saying that without facing any consequences & you being too stupid to miss the irony. you don't know what that word means & you just want to see this country burn while conveniently forgetting you'll be burned right along with thr rest of us. it's stupidly short-sighted. you're hardly a revolutionary if you're so inclined to suicide. please be for fucking real.

[torahtot]

you can always tell when someone doesn't have maga men in their life and god it makes me angry.. "if you're nice and compassionate you can be the one woman that makes them realize women aren't mean!" my mom bent over backwards for my dad for 25 fucking years he has plenty of other women kissing his ass and it never changed anything. do you really think that before being radicalized they never knew a single kind woman? they were never friends with a nice girl? alt-right men's problem with women isn't just that they've experienced too many mean women and they need to be shown that women can be nice, it's that they think women are inferior and don't deserve rights and don't understand anything so you can do what you want with them. and it takes a lot more than being nice to show someone that you aren't inferior. this isn't a case of being nice even when it's hard for the sake of deradicalization, it's about spending every fucking interaction with someone trying to get them to see you as a human being with value and a functioning intellect while they just laugh and show you that's never going to happen.

i cannot stress this enough: random women are not just going out and Being Mean to men. ur average guy interacts with plenty of women throughout his life- close women amongst their friends and family, casual interactions etc. most people don't start out being shunned by women, they start out being treated as NORMAL. & when they show their disrespect in normal society, it isn't tolerated, but when they go to alt-right spaces (which they're pushed towards online) they're told they're allowed to be as horrible as they want with no consequences because they're entitled to everything. it isn't "women aren't welcoming and the alt-right is so friendly so i'll become alt-right," it's "women don't let me disrespect them and the alt-right tells me fuck them, do whatever you want, you're entitled to it all" and why would you choose the group where you have to be a normal accountable person when there's a group that will reward you for being a shithead who gives no fucks?

the alt-right can afford to be more friendly and welcoming because they can allow bigotry. this can't work the same way for progressive spaces because we can be as kind & welcoming as possible but at the end of the day we have lines where we have to say "this behavior/speech isn't allowed in this space," and for certain people, that just can't win against a space where you can be as nasty as you want. these posts always end with a disclaimer saying "of course being kind doesnt mean you need to tolerate their bigotries" but what they don't realize and what drives me crazy is that women not tolerating bigotry IS the "women are mean" that radicalized them in the first place. they perceive you pushing back on any bigotry or bullshit as you being a meanie and treating them like they're ontologically evil. the 'kindness' they need to be deradicalized is you letting them walk all over you.

idk what the answer is to deradicalizing them and im sure relationships are part of it but you can be as kind as you want and all it will do is destroy you ime. i cant stand to see people (who have never even successfully deradicalized any man by being nice btw they always speak in hypotheticals and not from experience) double down on telling women to do things that will see no results and only hurt them, especially when any woman who has tried can tell you exactly how it went

[whampersan]

I can't believe everyone in Nu is trans and kills fascists??? Woke shit
