A-fucking-men

i saw some new york rose emoji quote tweeting an article about eric adams doing some literal fascist police state shit and they said something like “ugh november 2025 can’t come soon enough” like you dumb motherfucker he’s doing a fascism NOW and they’re like “aw fiddlesticks. i guess we just gotta follow the rules and wait while he does a fascism and vote when we’re allowed to. just you wait, mr adams. feel free to do some more fascism in the meantime”

I want RENT CONTROL. Because without it, Universal Basic Income doesn't matter. Without rent control, the minute UBI goes into effect, the cheapest rent in every city, town, and hamlet-- every cold water pad with no doors and black mold everywhere-- is suddenly UBI+100$.

Abolish landlords and their feudal goddamned parasitism. Abolish the commodification of basic human needs. As a step toward that: motherfucking rent control.

What a disappointing speech, I know liberals will be hyped up but I guess I’ve been burned too many times by the neoliberal machine. That was textbook.

Doesn’t mean I don’t want her to win bc I know there are people who take it that way. It’s just different vibes from a week or two before when there seemed to be moving in a more progressive direction. This is beyond the Palestine issue. This was a whole day 4 issue.

oh. I think my fears about Chiefcake passing from old age were more on point than I realized. she's acting very weak right now.

and it's late on a friday, when all the rabbit-specific vets have closed. I'll call around anyway to see if at home euthanasia is an option tonight.

I'm absolutely losing my mind seeing "We need to not treat men and masculinity as inherently evil and worthy of hatred, and not fall back into biological and gender essentialism because that hurts everyone, including trans women" being misinterpreted as "Women need to stop oppressing men", "I think trans women are actually men" or "You specifically who have trauma around men need to get over it because men are the real victims". It's so willfully disingenuous. It makes me sick how willing people are to read in bad faith, especially how willing other trans women are to suddenly start harassing and dogpiling another trans woman.

I am a trans woman too, I understand what it's like to feel unsafe, but it helps no one this cynical attitude that crops up every time someone suggests being kind to men in our lives. "You could save a man you know from falling down the alt-right pipeline" is not the same as "It's your fault that men murder you". "There are people who could be on our side if we don't meet them with immediate hostility" is not the same as "You need to shut up and stop criticizing power structures for the sake of your oppressors' feelings" (I promise there are a lot of people who can be taught about their complicity in oppression without immediately shutting down but you need to work with them). This kind of attitude isn't somehow more informed or correct. It's just lashing out to avoid considering one's own agency.

Making a better, safer world for ourselves requires all kinds of work, but it's always work. It's hard to try to reach out to people who could very realistically harm us, it's work that not all of us can afford to or are able to do and that's fine because we're all just trying to survive. But some of you would rather condescend, tear each other down, and make more enemies before even considering it a possibility.

Sex positivity is also about not calling Ace people prude and using virgin as an insult 👍 hope that helps

Prisons in the US be like "we need more slaves to stay in business (under the 13th Constitutional amendment), here's your new quotas for convictions Mr Judge please and thank you."

Prisons in Sweden be like "We forgot to lock the murderers in their cells for the night, and they took their chance to bake a cake and make a pillow fort. The responsible staff have been docked five days' pay."

Or today, "The country's most infamous prison will take any comers in a cook-off. Everyone loves our warden's French fish soup."

Maybe we never had a chance.

ALL OF THEM!

added the few more cards I wanted and slightly modified the first ones so they could match better :3

On one hand, Young Justice is kind of neglected by the actual superheroes that should be looking out for them in a lot of crucial ways and very much failed by the adults around them

But on the other hand Red Tornado straight up hosts a parent-teacher conference where their respective legal guardians all show up, barring Batman who’s in traffic so Nightwing fills in instead because Robin’s dad does not know he’s a vigilante which is objectively hilarious

At some point, you have to learn to let go

Danny Fenton, aka Phantom, has been given a new task!

In short, literally no one in the Ghost Zone/Infinite Realms wants their mostly peaceful afterlife to be rocked by a certain Gotham rogue named Joker. Which, when he dies, is almost sure to happen because of whatever the hell was in that vat he dropped in included ectoplasm. So, yay, he’s also a little ghostly too, meaning he *is* pretty hard to kill. Unfortunately, there’s also a certain vigilante that is quite keen to murder him in recent years.

So now Danny has to keep the mass murderer trauma clown alive for as long as he possibly can while attempting to keep the Joker from. Well. Being the Joker.

Oh, and naturally, Danny got this assignment AFTER Joker got out of Arkham. Again. And entirely blew up the asylum. Time to join the Goonion, he is NOT doing this without getting PAID, thank you.

"humans are inherently evil" "humanity deserves to go extinct" okay. if that's the case why are we such a community based species. why have we seen evidence of careful amputations in ancient humans that allowed them to live longer, fuller lives. why do we have thousands of years of evidence of toys made for children by their guardians. why do we consistently find burial sites where the deceased has been buried with items of significance because the people in their life cared about them even after they were gone. why do strangers help strangers without any reward. why are most of the people you meet each day not cruel. we have ALWAYS been kind. I know it is so so easy to get swept up in all the horrible happenings in the world. these things can be extremely important to know about. but please, please please know that there are so many kind people in the world. you are one of them!

I BLOCK DEBBIE DOWNERS ON SIGHT. REEVALUATE YOUR WORLDVIEW OR SCROLL PAST AND HAVE A LOVELY DAY ALSO READ MY TAGS

Ning Yingying: still in her airhead era Ming Fan: a young master who has never been expected to cook before Luo Binghe: really wishes he had been given this task to complete on his own...

update on my feelings about this: if you followed the democratic convention and you’re still on board with kamala and the party’s uuuhhhh problematic rhetoric you haven’t forgotten or become desensitized to choosing the lesser evil, no! It’s a secret third thing! you have straight up become evil! dems have been moving right and liberals are moving to the right with them!

for how many more elections are you gonna say some variation of “this is the most important election of our lifetime” and“we have to elect (insert establishment dem of choice) and push them left?” there’s no way you believe that shit! if i’m gonna be generous and assume you really believe that, i’m gonna tell you that you’re in a feedback loop of doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. you need to snap out of it and realize that dems will not save you! kamala’s identity will not save you! having more representation in the empire is not progress!

but what’s more likely is that you feel threatened by anyone who proposes that we do away with your precious institutions 👀👀👀👀👀 because you know that you benefit from those oppressive institutions 👀👀 and you like having people “below” you 👀👀👀👀 your mask is fully off 👀👀👀

like. you are the bad guys sorry

i just saw that video of the child in gaza with his head blown off and i just want to say to everyone preaching “lesser evil” and “harm reduction” to say: eat my ass

you have been voting for the lesser evil for so long that it seems you have either forgotten or become desensitized to the fact that you chose evil

the problems you claim to condemn cannot be solved by the institutions that are causing them, and you know this
