this is all i gathered of the presidential debate from hearing friends talk about it

every time caitlin gets a pic with a woman in a couple-y + intimate way, that’s a body.

the one thing i will say on the Trump verdict is I'm seeing a lot of posts about basically "how can we let a FELON run for PRESIDENT (and/or vote)" which is making me feel very "don't make me tap the sign" about why folks who've been convicted of felonies also deserve the right to run for office/vote and how creating categories of people who are not allowed to run for office/vote is a great way to incentivize pushing political opponents (or members of marginalized groups) into those categories in order to disenfranchise and disempower them

Do not let the Protestant Work Ethic Beast in your head win!

You are not alone! You are not the sole difference between death and life! You are a person who will at some point need to take a break!

That is why there is community! That is why there is organizing! Do not despair because you, alone, are not currently boots on the ground fixing things! Do something, but do not let that something be collapsing!

Going to cautiously posit that if they're moving toward calling Kentucky for Beshear (incumbent Democratic governor) in a blindingly red state Trump won by 30 points, in an off-year election, about 30 minutes after polls close statewide, that is a Good Sign.

the funniest thing about the premise of choosing trump because it means choosing cheaper gas is that it’s simply not true

non american mutuals, i don’t really know how to say this, but like. you’re a reminder that this isn’t everything. it’s not the whole world. comforting words and thoughts would be appreciated, even if you don’t think you have anything to offer. i’m guessing i’m not the only american tumblr user who feels that way right now

I will say right now that I am a petty ass bitch. And I have PURPOSELY chosen NOT to cut off any friends or family that voted for Trump, for the SOLE reason that I’m playing the long con here. When shit goes sideways, I want to be the one who looks them all in the eye and say “Oh, you’re suffering now? Good! I fucking TOLD you this would happen. Now suffer. Asshole.”

I know for a FACT that once things start getting bad, those people are going to be the FIRST ones to bitch and moan about it. And I want front row seats to it so I can CONTINUOUSLY throw it in their faces that they were fucking wrong, and the current situation is ENTIRELY on them.

I’m going to be the smuggest, most insufferable, little shit about it. I will be sitting there with my iced mocha, listening to all their bitching, with the biggest grin on my face. And when they ask me why tf I’m so happy, I’m going to respond “Yeah it sucks, doesn’t it? I’m happy because now that you see it, I get to remind you that you CHOSE this. This entire nightmare is ENTIRELY your fault, and I am going to remind you of this fact each and every time this topic comes up, until the day I die. Now either choose something else to talk about, or STFU. Because I have NO sympathy for you. 😎💅”

November is here, and it brings with it a fresh coat of grief.

I honestly don’t have a lot i can say. It looks like tough times are on the horizon, and i know more people than just me are probably justifiably scared. I hope we can all take some comfort in our little community here & support each other even as things start to look bleak. I think one of the most radical things we do here is loving ourselves and shaping our own futures. Keep doing that. And stay safe.

I don’t want this post to just be about the election though. Despite everything, good things do happen. Me, I got promoted at work, and I’m on track to have a car in my name by the end of the month. I have things I’m looking forward to, and people I love to think about. And today, I’m going to go get myself a milkshake, because bad news calls for a little sweetness to help wash it down 💜

I think we should get Trump to talk shit about Taylor Swift

Because honestly I have more faith in the Swifties actually shooting him than the rest of ye

if only the orcs that killed boromir had that good of an aim

[panspy-draws]

guys you need to stop commissioning me dungeon meshi style gnomes. last time i did one trump got shot and this time biden dropped out of the presidential race. i can't be responsible for this.

I feel like I'm going insane. That episode read to me as a lot more tragic than other people are reading it. Yeah they were racist and rich and spoiled and awful but they were just kids. They were all just kids. Lindy was absolutely terrified throughout the whole thing and clinging desperately to what she knew, which was terrible. They could've had the chance to learn and become better but they chose to go die and it's infuriating and tragic because nobody deserves that. Nobody deserves to be eaten by slugs or die of exposure in the woods. Nobody deserves to suffer like that. But they chose it rather than let the Doctor help them because they'd rather stay in their rich white supremacist bubble and he just wants to help and there's nothing he can do.

Maybe it's because one of my core beliefs is that nobody deserves death and suffering. Nobody. Even the worst person on earth can learn from their mistakes and come back and change and everyone deserves that chance. There's no such thing as too late. But they're never going to get that chance because they actively rejected it and to me that's still very, very sad.

honestly less bothered by the actual election results (because sure that's the objectively worst part but something i was at least somewhat mentally expecting as a possibility) than by how fucking quickly it got called?? i mean fuck i wasn't expecting another Bush v Gore but at least a day or two of "well we're expecting X but it's still close enough the [various categories of ballot which for some reason or another take longer to count] miiiight change it" but nope!

motherfucker looks to be the first Republican to win the popular vote in decades and even the most generous interpretation of that is "wow a lot of people are more worried about The Economy than uh. literally anything else? really? like i know it's important but of all the shit going down that's your number-one dealbreaker? and. and you genuinely think Casino-Bankrupting Billionaire Cheapskate is going to set policies which help that? and any benefit you get isn't going to be immediately eaten by stuff like higher healthcare costs? well okay good luck with that!" and that's ignoring the people who actively want an openly bigoted asshole in charge.

i guess we all should've called it the second musk's lottery scam got an inch of traction. there's no american tradition quite like falling for stupid bullshit if there's a chance of a cash payout.
