cannot stress enough how insane it's making me that we're witnessing some of the best domestic policy in decades at the same time as the worst foreign policy atrocity since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

sinking feeling that everyone's preparing politically to fight the next world war 2 and we're going to end up fighting another world war 1 instead

tumblr users will go online and say "if the guys currently trying to legislate trans people out of existence seize control of the us federal government, it probably won't make any difference at all really" and they will think that this is a smart thing to say

Donald Trump posted online a list of people he said are not welcome to serve in his second administration, many of whom he also referred to with derogatory nicknames. Critics called it a “blacklist” and said it proves the president-elect wants total loyalty from government workers when he returns to office on Monday.

Trump first boasted on his Truth Social platform that his team had already hired more than 1,000 people to work for the government. “They are outstanding in every way, and you will see the fruits of their labor over the coming years. We will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and it will happen very quickly!” he wrote.

Headcanons on jimmy and Curly’s relationship? How long do u think they’ve been friends? Do you think their relationship was always toxic/unhealthy, or do u think it gradually turned bad?

Genuinely a really interesting question because I'm of the percentage that believes that no one is inherently or biologically "bad" or "good" and this sentiment applies to Jimmy and why Curly urges to see the good in him despite everything. He's seen it before, that good. It has to be in there somewhere

They both met as young boys, they were both new to the school they were in. Culy's mother insisted that he go and make friends. So he picked the one that was hissing at other kids. Jimmy tried to get Curly to go away but it never really worked

Their childhood friendship didn't last long, Curly eventually moved away with his family at 10, and Jimmy took it so unbelievably personal. They happened to reunite four years later, and Curly had a new friend group. Jimmy said they weren't his real friends and that he abandoned what they had. Curly felt immensely guilty and eventually caved to appease Jimmy, leaving his new friend group.

As they got older Jimmy's life became more of a wreck and he started depending on Curly even more, sleeping over at his house, eating dinner with his family and overall just becoming integrated in Curly's life. He controlled his friends, his hobbies, his life, everything, but routinely insulted him for not having anything.

He started showing serious signs of decline at 16, where he was drinking, smoking, dissapearing for hours on end, sometimes even days. Curly would get worried sick and call up everyone, drive everywhere, terrified of the worst. Jimmy would just say he "cares too much" 

Curly graduated highschool, Jimmy didn't. He dropped out and fell into a very deep suicidal spiral where he went missing for months. Eventually Curly just accepted he was dead or moved on, only to find him three years later on his doorstep, inches away from hypothermia and alcohol poisoning death, unresponsive.

Curly had a girlfriend at the time who dumped him once she saw how quickly Curly was to dump everything and take care of Jimmy, who was just a "homeless bum", Curly didn't care, he was just glad to have his friend back.

Their relationship steadied a little bit, and he was able to properly bring real colour and life into Jimmy. He saw good, he saw real love and happiness in him, but it didn't last long. Curly got accepted into military pilot school, Jimmy insisted that he was getting left behind again in the dust, that Curly is just going to toss him back on the streets once he was done satisfying his saviour complex

Their relationship got occasionally physically abusive but never awful, Curly thought deep down he did it because he cared. And in a way, Jimmy did. After giving up on his dreams to be a professional pilot he settled for Pony Express, and managed to rope Jimmy in.

Very fun how the lesson a lot of people learned from 2016 was "you can just let an election go to Prove A Point and Force the Party Leftward", and I'd ask how they didn't notice the exact opposite being proven again and again, except most people doing so will also righteously demand why, if Dems being in power does anything for queer people, there are so many Red States trying to kill them

Can't wait for the rerun this year! Merry execution of the innocent, everybody.

This is a well-known Palestinian user and vetter explaining that they are completely confident that the pornbotlike ask sent by an account with a verified fundraiser was a result of "embarrassing behavior/a mistake in online interactions."

This would be more plausible if it was a one time occurrence, but this blog sent the exact same ask to (at minimum) three separate accounts:

These asks are all identical, to the letter - that's how I found them. This is, needless to say, very strange for any person to do on tumblr, least of all someone who is raising money to try and protect their family from a genocide. glitzyboo, for example, does not post images of themselves or reblog anything remotely close to NSFW, so it's very very odd behavior for someone to tell them they are "pretty enough" for anything. It is even more suspicious when you consider the very long history of porn bots sending sugar daddy scam asks on this site.

I don't know what is going wrong here - who is mistaken about what, what part of the process is breaking down, but the story told in the above post, that this was an embarrassing social faux pas that happened one time and was sent by a real person who was horny, does not hold up to scrutiny.

The Weavers—from left to right, Ronnie Gilbert, Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, and Fred Hellerman—gave a concert on December 26, 1952, that was broadcast on WNYC. The clip above is the final number. Their message of peace and unity did not please HUAC, and they were blacklisted for the rest of the decade.

for the love of god if we see another sys server with a blacklist as long as my arm I may s c r e a m. like im not gonna remember to blacklist 10 media sources, 15 names, and a catchall phrase that i personally use in my vocabulary

i came across one a few months ago and almost wanted to yeet my computer

I can understand some blacklists, but sometimes I see stuff like "tw family" or "tw school" or tws for specific names, which while you can ask a friend to avoid them, you can't reasonably ask an entire server to abide by that. If you're not well enough to handle everyday topics like families or school you probably shouldn't be in a public discord server.
