This site is on my 2023 survival list, especially for exposing SCOTUS shenanigans trying to restrict our voting rights. Please check out Democracy Docket and Marc Elias on social media to stay up to date.
The Moore v Harper oral arguments were heard by SCOTUS on Dec 6. We need to engage in what happens next. Congress has the power to reign them in, which could happen if more Rs come to their senses and fight for voting rights. I’ve expressed this hope before, which is really more of an expectation now.
I know we are collectively better than this! I see trends bringing people together to solve problems that government never will, to form communities that don’t rely on the power structures we currently have in place. I’m ready to open my mind, ask questions, explore misconceptions, dispel mistruths, and become a living example of a better way.

Another #botaccount. True The Vote has the evidence and has presented the evidence.
The conspiracy theory-promoting group True the Vote says it has no evidence to back up its claims about widespread, systemic voter fraud during the 2020 elections.
The group, which was heavily featured in Dinesh D’Souza’s viral documentary “2000 Mules,” claimed that ballot “mules” worked with a network of left-wing organizations to steal the election for Joe Biden

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.
capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.
now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.
and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.
and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.
and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".
it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"
#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility#but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion#that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone#i am an environmental educator#so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering#that people are going through#without doing my research and providing real ways to help#this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning#to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering#unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this#and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this#and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity#(complaining)#and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself#for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion#i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out#rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually.#my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free#is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY.#anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i#which is more than their CEOs can say

Yes, understand what’s a stake.
- There is concrete, demonstrative proof of fraud in the 2020 and 2022 elections.
- Abortion was returned to the states for the citizens of each state to decide. The states were given greater independence from the Federal Government. Abortion wasn’t banned. Federally funded (Federally funded taxpayer) abortion was stopped. People are pissed because their abortions aren’t being comped anymore. You can still get one in a state that agrees with you. It’s your choice.
- Demons see Christians as extreme, because our view points are so vastly different.
- MAGA, consider America First. Israel needs money? Have we ended hunger in America? Are our veterans taken care of? Have we ended homelessness in America? Have we serviced our infrastructure? Have we paid back all the money Congress stole and misappropriated? Have we paid off our national debt? Is our economy functioning? No? Then we don’t have the money to send outside our borders. But what about Ukraine and their Nazi army? Nope. What about Iran who burns our flag and chants “Death to America”? Nope. What about countries that capture, traffic, and kill Americans? Nope.
You want to fight this? Why? Makes no sense, unless you don’t like America, don’t want your rights, and want your money shipped off to other countries.

#sims 4#the sims community#simblr#ts4#sims 4 edit#mysims#drawing/editing these tears took actual years off my life#editing this in general did but the tears were my hell#her name is norma jean named after her grandmother but she goes by either jeanie or jj#she works at the local convenience store and bartends at night when shes able to pick up shifts#shes the worst bartender in existence and refuses to lift anything over 2 pounds#she once convinced a customer to buy her a sweater because she looked a little cold while working#she lied and said her manager never lets them turn on the heat and casually mentioned pennys was selling her favorite sweater#and then described in detail exactly where the sweater was in the store#all she had to do was blink her big brown eyes and call them baby a few times and they immediately folded#she goes to church 7 days a week even though she hates it because that's what she did when her mom was still alive#and its one of the few things that helps her feel close to her mom#her mom died after she had to drop out of highschool to take care of her#she holds a lot of resentment for having to give up such a big part of her life#but at the same time blames herself for not being able to make her mom better#she doesnt believe in banks and hides money around her house to store it but she's also super forgetful#she'll randomly find money around the house and then treat herself like it was present she meant to leave for her future self#she loves crosswords but treats it like a fun game and refuses to check if her answers are ever right#there's ur fun little facts about jeanie 🫵🏼

House M.D. but it's when a character says the name of the episode
#house md#prince's talk tag#flashing#repitition#so as i was watching this show i noticed they'd say the episode title in the episode#so i wanted to see how many times they did it#the people on livejournal who made transcripts of the episodes are my saviors and without them this would of been so much harder to do#thank you all for your service and i hope wherever you all are you're having a great day#sometimes they would use a variation of the word like in the episode poison they would say 'poisoned' or 'poisoning'#i did not include those instances#there was an instance in 'merry little christmas' where they do play the song in the show#but since ella fitzgerald was not a character in the show i did not include it#where as in the episode 'joy to the world' the students are singing it in the concert so i did include that#i apologize for the tonal whiplash when you get to that part but it did make me laugh#one of the times kutner says 'locked in' is overshadowed by the POTW's voice over but i assure you he says it and thats why its in there#out of the main characters from the one who said the title the most to least are#House > Foreman > Wilson > Chase > Cuddy > Adams > Cameron and Taub > Kutner > Thirteen and Park#this took a bit to do lolol its probably been done already but i wanted my own#there is a chance im missing some on technicalities but idc. im fine with this#there are two more i wanna do but with a character saying another character's name but ill do that some other time#EDIT: When I was making this video I was unaware that the Pilot episode went by two names: 'Pilot' and 'Everybody Lies'#Basically everywhere I looked the first episode was only referred to by 'Pilot'#which I found weird bc i remember seeing somewhere that the last episode was paired with the first episode in terms of title#but i couldn't find hard proof so I decided to leave it out at the time#well i checked again last night and yea the pilot IS also called Everybody Lies so I updated the video#I also think it goes well with the fact that House does say 'Everybody Dies' in the finale so another reason to fix it#AND he says it without Wilson while he and Wilson say the title of the pilot sooooo yea hehehehehe

Note the original handle. Demons hate truth and those who enjoy truth. My fellow MAGA Train Members, and anyone who’s considering boarding, don’t let the demons distract you or get you down. They’ll fight like Hell, cause they’d rather reign on earth (and rule over you on earth) than be sent back home to Hell.
Face it you MAGA morons...
TRUMP IS YOUR JIM JONES, Y'ALL DRANK HIS KOOL-AID NOW YOU'RE BRAINWASHED!!!!!
Sorry the truth hurts

time travel au where a post-pidw yue qingyuan somehow travels back in time after death (either through death, through the magic that still remained in his sword, someone intervening, etc.) to right before he was reunited with shen qingqiu at the iac.
but for some reason along with being given the chance to live his life once more, yue qingyuan now has the ability to tell when somebody is lying to him no matter what.
at first, yue qingyuan doesn’t see much value in this gift because there aren’t many people who would dare lie straight to his face, but that all changes the moment he’s reunited with shen jiu again and he realizes that nothing that shen jiu says is ever the complete truth.

I agree, with the following rules of engagement:
I’m not actively looking for people who are fucking around so I can make sure they find out, that would be a tad aggressive.
I’m more likely to notice random fuckery by happenstance and may use my network to make connections so it doesn’t go unnoticed.
I will not waste any energy trying to help someone who has fucked around if they are looking for a shield from the find out phase. They deserve the whole enchilada!
I keep the energy clean by not stooping to epicaricacy, I’m a schadenfreude-free zone.

More people should watch Jimmy's streams, I think
Transcripts:
Sausage: Daddy Jim?
Jimmy: Oh my gosh. Father... Father?
Sausage: Where are you, papa?
Jimmy: (calling out) Father!
Sausage: Oh! It's my dad! Where are you?
Jimmy: I'm here, I'm here!
Sausage: Wohoo! Hey!
Jimmy: Oh my gosh! First time someone's called me daddy! Wow!
Sausage: Lies. Lies! Lies!
Jimmy: Uhm... Well, you know. We don't talk about what we do in our spare time-- Right!
Sausage: What?
Jimmy: Uhm, Lizzie was just here!

merlin is over all the hiding and lying and he stares at his best friend while he eats breakfast and is just like “i want him to know me” so he lays his hand palm up on the table in his line of sight and just. makes a butterfly. it flutters around and arthur tracks its movements before looking over at merlin. he smiles and steals a sausage before leaving the room. arthur sits for a long while. merlin strides through the halls, strangely energetic and his mind just stops working. he doesn’t think or second guess himself or create lies and fabricate stories. he finds the knights and looks at lancelot and is just like “i revealed my magic to arthur” the room is quiet before lancelot goes “you also just revealed your magic to the rest of the knights” merlin doesn’t look at them but sighs out a “yeah” and leaves. he lets his magic loose and walks through the halls and out the doors of the castle to the training field, every step sprouts flowers and small animals form in his wake and skitter around. merlin takes a deep breath before laying down in the grass. he remains there until arthur physically hauls him back up on his feet
