Getting older is realizing bill cipher was sexier as a triangle anyway.

Ahem…

Speed Round 2:

The Democrats are already planning to not certify the 2024 election… Rep. Jaime Raskin (D. MD) is already calling for riots.

They burned up Maui and huge swaths of California with overhead DEW lasers. They rioted and burned America during fake-outrage riots over the drug overdose-death of a known criminal. They brought us COVID 19. They toxified part of Ohio with a train derailment. They flooded the Appalachians with a very unlikely hurricane which has turned red, Trump supporting areas into what will likely be very non-voting zones

… and now these assholes are threatening us??!!

A reminder: politicians are actually public servants that work for us. They serve us; we do not serve them. Politicians do not tell us who we may or may not elect

… and if our politicians are telling us who we may or may not elect, it is likely due to those politicians being corrupt, Luciferian kid-touchers who are trying to hide a ton of shit from us

I see some notes on that Lovecraft post all "why aren't we also willing to look past Harry Potter if we're able to for Cthulu" and I gotta say death of the author works a loooot better when the author is actually dead.

Batboys dating this kind of person, batboys dating that kind of person. Batboys dating a socialist. What about that

I’ve mostly posted the parts of the modern AU that are filled with whimsy because the internet is in shambles but rest assured, the directors cut in my head has a hard MA rating

i just remembered when my niece turned one and my sister & her husband got her a little kid jeep and put a trump sticker on the jeep and i was the only one at the party who was like “hey this is insane”

i think the other frustrating thing is like. people online forget that politics and war is complicated. it sucks, it's tedious. civilians are being hurt and killed as a result of fascism and greed. this isnt a saturday morning cartoon. you can't always be spoon-fed tl;drs on who's the good guy and who's the villain. this shit is fluid, and often just looks like this:

the earth is getting hotter and hotter and nobody's doing anything about it but im misanthropic and depressive because i can see nothing that inspires hope 🤙

Yes, we're the ''Entitled'' Generation.

To all the older generations, Yes, you're right, we ARE the entitled generation.

We prioritize ourselves first because we don't want to be exploited by corporations anymore. When the wage we're getting are as good as nothing, why would we let people boss us around and make us miserable?

This generation is entitled to the respect everyone deserves.

''Your generation is Lazy'' Oh, I'm sorry, I'd rather spend the time with my friends and chosen family rather than endure the constant harassment, the constant judgement of you older generations, being paid less than pennies to be made fun of at work and ridiculed, being a slave to corporations because the rich gets richer and we get hungrier.

So yes, we're entitled. We want the respect we deserve, at the very least pay me enough that I can survive before you spit in my god damn face that I'm lazy, Fuck.

With a college degree I made barely enough to pay rent and eat, and I sure as hell don't have the funds to go to a University. Politicians that are 3 times my age, that'll be in retirement and already have houses from the 80-90s or from their parents even, fucking everything up politically for LGBTQ+ people and the god damn climate crisis, BUT MONEY AMIRITE???? Because OF COURSE YOUR FUCKING BOTTOM LINE IS WHAT MATTERS WHEN YOU'LL BE DEAD IN THE NEXT 10 FUCKING YEARS FROM A HEATSTROKE ON YOUR ANNUAL SUMMER TRIP, Fucking rich assholes

Choke on your money you oh so deserve to have, Make laws to make our life a living hell before you die, ''You did the right thing'' Against this ''Entitled'' generation, Good for you.

Internet Archive: Rally on the steps of the Internet Archive!!

This Saturday! April 08, 2023

Battle for Libraries sign up if you are going to attend the rally!

If you can't attend/can't make it that is completely fine! You can check for the live updates on Twitter by Internet Archive following the hashtag #DigitalRightsForLibraries

"...Make & share a rally sign & tag @internetarchive. Need a suggestion? Try: - Internet Archive is a Library For Everyone! - eBooks are Books..."

Here is a post with info better summarizes of what is happening to the Internet Archive

To summarize in case you have no idea what is going on (or just don't want to read the link). Four (4) book publishing companies HarperCollins, Wiley, penguin random house LLC, and Hachette book group are suing the Internet Archive because during the pandemic their sales of books did poorly. So they are blaming Internet Archive, a library for the internet, for their poor sales because they believe their system for ebooks is flawed. Even though it's the exact same system as any old library with a library card.

Donate to Internet Archive!

how it starts vs how it ends (the fucking literal closest i can get to a rivalmance, bioware can you let me be even a little mean to him bc he kinda fucking deserves to be yelled at a bit over some of his comments and its not like he'd be thrilled about an orlesian noblewoman whos fairly anti-violence and a bit useless in a fight as herald)

"This is both because it would reduce the supply of available Bitcoin, and it would give Bitcoin the imprimatur of the federal government."

A sentence that should give anyone sane nightmares, frankly.

Ask Me if I Care...

I am very tired of being bombarded with all the news out of Hollywood the stars who are promoting their favorite politician. I don’t care what George Clooney (who lives between Lake Como Italy and his English Manor in England) thinks of our nation’s politics. I am tired of Tom Cruise, Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry, John Legend, Taylor Swift, Debra Messing, Meghan Markle…the list is endless. I…

every day on midnight there is a guy who uploads a meme about what day of the war it is (49, currently) and every day there is a guy commenting updates on like if anything changed today. at some point another guy joined by giving fun facts about the number of each day. now the second guy has gotten bored and started adding more things too like fun facts and recipes. beautiful display of what despair can bring out of people (really funny memes. and solidarity ig. and tradition?)

Love how my dash is full of amerikkkans fighting each other.

“Vote for Joe who’s currently killing your family or I will lose my privileges and you will be even worse off!”

Don’t know what it will take for the USA to strive for socialism but voting for gop won’t get you there. The aipacs are stacked against Muslim Americans and you want Muslims and Arabs to vote for the people bombing their countries and killing millions who look like them (see Iraq).

Mobilise your white friends , your homeless friends, your family, your indebted and ill friends.

But the lack of empathy for those suffering from genocide is the most crystal clear example of amerikkkan exceptionalism I have ever seen.
