"If enough of us vote third party for president, we could actually GET somewhere with our policy goals!"

Baby girl you can't even get a majority of third party/independents in a single state legislature. In the past 30 years there have been seven independent/third party state governors, and of those, only three were genuinely independent. The rest either got elected as a R/D and switched mid-term when they alienated themselves from their state party, got elected as I and then switched to R/D during their terms (with some of them having served the R/D parties before), or served as proxy candidates with heavy backing and support from one of the major two parties. Even VERMONT, a relative stronghold for independent/third party candidates -- the place that brought you Bernie Sanders -- doesn't have a majority of third party candidates. And when I call them a stronghold, I mean they are the only state (I know of) that consistently elects (less than a handful of) Independent candidates to the state legislature; the place is still dominated by Ds and Rs.

"The highest power in the land can't actually be voted on so there's no reason to vote for the democrats"

Hey princess here are some high school civics question for you: How are Supreme Court judges nominated? :) By what process are they appointed? Who starts that process? :) Why is the Supreme Court considered reflective of who has won the presidency? :)

#the reason you 'cant get anywhere' with your policies is bc youre not the political strategists you think you are #some of you barely know how your own government functions and it fucking shows #and it would be one thing if i looked in ur bios and u were like. 15 or smthg.#but 30?!?!?! you're 30 yrs old and you dont understand that the rsn rvw was overturned under biden is bc trump got his foot in the door???#youre 30 and youll rant abt the long lasting effects of reagan's presidential policies but you cant fathom trump might have left #a similarly long-lasting legacy??#youre 30 and you think the echo chamber you put yourself in on the internet is proof that clrly a vast majority of ppl agree w u #and theres no need to play politics when the democrats couls just wave their wands and fix everything if they werent so evil #despite the fact that both of the ladt two elections about half the population was voting for trump???#the tight margins btwn repub and democrat in congress shld tell you that #you are 30 and dont understand what strategic voting is?#youre 30 and you dont understand the difference between state laws and federal laws #youre 30 and youre upset that joe biden is a 'fascist dictator' but not in the way that gives you everything you want?#youre 30 and youre acting like biden and the dems operate in a vacuum without interference feom political enemies and #moneyed interests that have thrown up lawsuits and obstructionist tactics and misinformation #everytime the try to do something good?#youre 30 and you think palestine will be saved if joe's not in office when the only other viable candidate in the running #was cozy with netanyahu and advocated 'finishing the job' re:palestine and moved the embassy to jerusalem #in a clr fuck you to any palestinian feelings?#youre 30??? youre 30 and you never outgrew the 'mommy and daddy made me mad so I'm gonna smoke to get back at them' mentality???

zonked out on the dog bed snoring up a storm. you come over and rub the soft spot on the top of my nose. i let out the most contented sigh

#blllllaggggh busiest doggy everyday of my life and i am exhausted #ye beware of sadposting ahead. more like just need to get thoughts out of my headposting yk. im ok just tired #friend said to me today 'youre always doing something these days jasper when do you rest?'#and i was like huh good question! i dont hahaha. damn #which is not a bad thing always. but my plate is incredibly full and i have no one to help me #im in a really good place. things are happening that ive wanted to happen for years. but i have no time to take care of me #and the ppl who are supposed to take care of me dont. and they let me down everytime i try to ask for it. which im used to #but it doesnt make it any easier. theres just not enough hours in the day and not enough energy in my little doggy body #i used to be able to push myself past the wall of exhaustion. but after my therapy program ik i just can not do that anymore #im really proud of myself. being an adult is hard. im doing everything right. but i just wish i had someone by my side to help me #anyways.#i am a very good boy #yapping #if youre reading this hi im just venting im fine. its just been a long day and i want someone to give me a head massage #jasperbarks

Apologies

#shadowpeach #six eared macaque #sun wukong #lmk #lego monkie kid #monkey king #liu'er mihou #I just think it'd be neat if they apologized to each other and then cried and hugged about it #(cuz on god they both have some shit they should get off their chests and own up to)#like holy blue hells they're both just like “I think i shall spend my immortal life ruminating on my greatest regret and letting it fester”#everytime i watch the scene where Macaque is like:#“its good to talk about feelings! obv i don't do it”#i turn into the hands on hips guy meme #DUDE GO TO THERAPY #wukong too lets be real #been reading jttw the west (haven't actually gotten to where SEM shows up in the book yet tho)#and i think that if therapy existed back then tripitaka and sha wujing would've been gently but firmly #herding wukong into the local therapist's waiting room in as many towns they pass as possible #he'd probly grab the door frame and have to be literally pried off #these hypothetical ancient-chinese therapists all have claw marks on the hallways and doors going into their offices #hey how about an au where shadowpeach get therapists who end up getting all the monkey drama news first #and end up on the business-rivals-to-drinking-buddies pipeline #stopped while drawing this like “hey why'd i make mac be touching wukong's face in both sketches?”#and then i remembered that between the two mac's the one who wants to be something to the other #to the point of desperation #its like if they're both cats who got coned swk is the one who sits there miserably accepting his fate #while mac is that one video of the tuxedo cat shrieking and trying to paw it off #i'd read the hell out of a fic where they end up swapping attitudes about their dynamic #in canon wukong's the one who seems like he would like to never see mac again (at times) even tho he really regrets it and it hurts #like mac just gives up on trying to convince himself he can make swk see him as a significant part of his life again

I was very nostalgic over the HTTYD book, but unfortunally the collection I read as a child belongs to my brother and is with him back home. Except this week I discovered the David Tenants audibook and that someone slime tutorial-ed them.

So now I'm listening to "How To Be A Pirate" and as someone who read the books soon after the first movie (and loved the books so much) I always knew Toothless is a very diferent characther (and look movie Toothless is lovely and very sweet but book Toothless is my child, my lil chaos greemlim) but only know I actually got the difference:

Movie Toothless is a very smart pet while book Toothless is a very energetic human toodler in dragon's form. Fifteen years old Hiccup got into the florest and found a very well-behaved and smart if dangerous pet, lifetime companion and best friend. Ten and half years old Hiccup was throwned into a dragon's nest and now he is responsable for a feral two to five years old who can fly, eats A LOT and breaths a tiny bit of fire. He got the job of a pareting older brother and everyone else acts as if he either got a pet or a servant while he is trying to convince his toddler-dragon that showering is important.

#now it's not a one to one #book toothless sometimes acts like a pet and movie toothless sometimes acts like someone Hiccups age but as a dragon #but mostly apecially on the first book/movie this is it #httyd #httyd books #how to be a pirate #also i still think a cartoon (instead of an animated movie) faithfully adapting the books would be AMAZING #and since httyd is taken (and the movies are good)#i sugest calling it How To Became a Hero (the hard way)#movie hiccup training toothless does seem always either as training a pet or genuinally just two pals bonding #everytime book hiccup tries to convince toothless to do something it feels way more like he is trying to ressonate with his baby brother

I think the most tragic thing about snack "zachary zack boy bradley" braffs early passing is he had so much light in his eyes.... he was so, so excited to wrestle. his life was snuffed out too soon ...

#watching monster factory trying to remember how to draw (doing well but im making myself do something good and productive as a discipline-#so that naturally makes my obstinate brain resist and want to watch old tiktok likes.)#i only use tiktok for my likes and the things my huzband sends me. not trying to nervously excuse my tokkage or anything but i donno tiktok #has gotten uninteresting in the last year everytime im there the website robots think im a 30 yearold british mom or an actual child.#anyways.#monster factory #goober.txt

( <- figures i need to stop assuming haha) and #they also made this amazing revenge im absolutely in love with its so cute #really made my day =)#scribbles #furry tag #good god i write way too much in these #sorry #anyways #queueing this to post again (its the 14th as im writing this) i feel like that worked alright for me last time #im kinda making this post impulsively i am. constantly going back nd forth on whether i even like posting my art nowadays #oh well #yeah queue i wanna know #mother series #<- i forgot to tag that . for blog organization mostly these r just #nothing burger npcs barely anyone cares abt (nintens sisters lol)

ty to @cherry-207 for the idea !! XPP

vargas by zarla-s

#sunny's art #vargas #edgar vargas #vargas zarla #scriabin #zarla s #scriabin vargas #would add shitpost tag too but i made so much effort on these to call it shitpost #this took me like 4 days . it could've taken two but i had to go out most of these days #this is just another “ i forced myself to color this thing just to practice coloring ” piece #went crazy with this one X3 #changed pretty much all of my brushes #bye square-shaped brush . i'm gonna miss you #i feel like edgar would actually find this cute tbh #it's perfect for them and they both know it #i know that the actual meme doesn't really look like my artstyle #but this is the first time i draw a face from that angle okay #that's all bye #nevermind i want to rant about something .#okay it's like . everytime i draw edgar i struggle a lot thinking of the clothes i want to draw on him #so i literally took a screenshot of every thing zarla has drawn on him so i can yk . pick something out of there #well on this one drawing she made he had this pretty beige cardigan and i was like okay sure let's get that one #then . was just coloring and when i tried to shade the beige it just looked dirty and ugly #why when other people do it it looks good and when i try to do it it just looks ugly ??!!1!1?!#funny enough this is the third time this happens to me #it also used to happen with gray . i just changed the color of the shading to dark blue and boom fixed #so i had to change it to green . looks better like that anyways #so i'm thinking . does beige look bad on edgar or it's just that i don't know how to shade beige in the first place #( probably second one #i think this is actually all

The way that the sun hits leaves and clouds. I feel like I could watch the colors change forever. If I could slow down for that long.

#i keep forgetting a have a deck now. i can go outside and sit there #im doing that now. sitting in the corner of a deck full of empty chairs. staring up at a big pine tree where the sun is striking it gold #at the top. i like how thr light hits the needles. if the sky was black it would look like its on fire #theres a tree outside my bedroom window too. in the morning. after the sunrises it catches thr light and refelcts the most perfect shade #of green. the kind of green that flutters translucent like youre looking up from the bottom of a pool. the light the light its all about #the sun. everything everything is about the sun. when i start my project I'll be focused on understanding how organisms catch the light bc #its so incredible and complicated it would make my chest swell to bursting if there wasnt an empty bleeding wound in my gut. a #metaphorical wound of course. i dunno. its just difficult bc right now my mood is inflated by hormones. not even that much i think I'm #just at what shoulf be a normal level of happiness so i can be slow for a minute. but just a minute bc i kno it won't last long #sorry i cant shut the fuck up when im like this but i dunno i just feel like i havr to document these ephemeral moments before they're gone #its just difficult when you kno the world is so full of beautiful things but 95% of the time your eyes are too clouded to see it #everyone tells me i work too much but i feel like im just staring off into space being miserable 60% of the time. ive just done so much #damage over the past few years im coming into a new lab as damaged goods. ive got an albatross around my neck in thr form of data i #collected so self destructively that the idea of having anything to do with its publication makes me hate myself. everytime someone tells #me good job on collecting so so so much data it feels like they're congratulating me for breaking something within myself. like i slit my #wrists and bled out on a lab bench and theyre saying good job and theyre excited for me and i have to grin and bear it and pretend im #excited too. but im not bc ive burned everything inside me to ash. so when im elevated enough to be distracted by the clouds and trees it #feels like healing. like seeing angels. beautiful ephemeral beams of light. i wish i could slow down enough to watch them. but now thr sun #is hitting the horizon and the sky is going gradually dark and i should go inside. bc i have many things to do in the morning. so that's #what ill do. and ill try to get more thsn 6hrs of sleep but its hard when your body is vibrating over with energy #but at least i dont feel tired in the morning. something in my head must be on fire #unrelated #hm i should maybe add a tw to this #tw self injury #but its the kind thst makes u good at ur Job. its the kind ppl reward. so they don't understand when u say its destroying ur life #but im trying to get better. i say as i gear up for an insane semester lol but i do mean it

Depression is all fun and games until your skipping school even though you’re weeks behind because you quite literally can’t get out of bed

#god I hate it here #not to mention you mother and father #SEEING this #simply decides to ignore you like your Alr dead #like damn okay 💀💀 fuck you too ig 💀💀#I don’t know how to fix this #I’m literally gonna be held back or taken to court bc I’ve missed so many days #but oh well the sillies r keeping me alive #Also I told myself I wouldn’t vent online anymore but I honestly don’t care anymore 😭#it’s so bad though #I tried to do some of my homework last night and ended up throwing up from the stress #and it’s not like my friends just forgot about me they are GOOD friends I’ve just been pushing them away; telling them I’m just sick etc.#it’s my fault so I’m not mad at them for not knowing what to do. The closest ones try to call me #sometimes I answer and we talk. sometimes I don’t and they leave me a message abt how their a good listener and they KNOW something’s wrong.#Truly I love my friends but at this point I just need to be medicated or in a mental institution ong #but again; it’s not like my parents actually care. they canceled my therapy that was court appointed to me #My support system otherwise is gone; my older siblings have moved out and I’m supposed to protect my younger ones from my parents #but deadass my entire family is well aware that I’m useless in that department #I shake scream and sob everytime my parents yell at us so I’m no help; really #I mean recently I’ve been able to keep my emotions under control but the only reason why is because I’m dead inside 💪#As I’m typing this out I’m realizing that I should be telling the world this especially not in my mental state but like. I dunno 🤷‍♂️#I know most of you don’t care or if you do your just concerned or feel bad bc you know what it’s like and I thank you.#seriously; I thank you for being human and reminding me the world can be kind #if anything im just distracting myself from whatever this is. whether it be playing a silly game or drawing about said silly game it helps #but it also makes me feel guilty bc I RLLY should be focused on trying to pass this year. but I’m pretty sure it’s too late now.#anyways; that’s why I’ve been inactive lately so I apologize #it’s funny bc I’m typing this out but I rlly don’t feel anything while explaining this to you guys #I’ll tag this properly; I don’t know why I’m posting this and I might delete it later I dunno #tw vent #tw mention of abuse

had a dream that me and sam went out to get green goddess salads and strawberry blueberry smoothies. waking up to my sick little life was an unwelcome shock

#the smoothie was my favourite one from a recipe i got on here when i was 15 <333333 #frozen strawberries. frozen blueberries (not too many). almond milk and honey #fuckkkkkkk so simple yet so good i know sam would fuck with it #and if something is described as 'green goddess' then you knowwwww it fuckkkkkssssss. so fucking good #i had a green goddess salad that had apples and edamame in it once like ohhhhhhhh #and sam would fuck with that too #and next time im in glasgow im gonna try the green goddess smoothie from fuel and that will fuck too #its like matcha and frozen yoghurt like of course its gonna be so good #will think of sam the whole time #<- as i do everytime i eat something green

Whelp, I am officially overworked since last week. Had a breakdown, couldn’t think, felt empty as hell. But, here I am getting there.

#mistress blabbling #a lot of shit happend but i am doing everything that i can #on doctors orders i have to stay home and not work at all #which is something i am still trying to come to terms with #and my boss is a sweetheart though but it’s not just from this job #i had so many jobs in a short time and everytime i had to proof my ass again and again #new people #and i am just completely drained #i just hated it so much having to leave a job because they get rid of you when they have a year that’s not going well for them #i haven’t slept so good in a long time #i just want a stable life is that too much to ask?#i’ll see what the future brings #one step and then another #so i am just gonna chill and i’ll see what 2024 is gonna bring me

I love the museum scene from ferris bueller so much not only cause its just great but also cause like everytime i see it i see myself and think about how special that kind of moment is

#i talk abt this often but like cause it impacted me so much #cause like i had the worst experince for my second half of highschool and my dad who also didnt like highschool understood #the importance of like taking the day off abd he'd let me skip and call me in sick and have a ferris bueller day as we called it #cause its a movie we both deeply loved and loved together #and at first id just stay at home in bed not getting up with the movie in the background and like eventually i started to do things w my da #cause my mom didnt know and she couldnt know so id go out and do things so it wasnt noticiable i was home all day #and like id walk around my neighborhood and go to musuem and movies and listen to new music and go to parks and places i hadnt been before #trying to give myself the best day show myself something good and slowly i went from rotting away to being like im taking a stand #im not letting my life unfold around me and i went out and did things i wanted to do and learned about all the things i wanted to #and was actually like involving myself in like what i wanted my future to be i went to plays and art museums and the movies #and when i see that scene i think of john huges commentary and how the museum was a place of refuge for him and so he came back to it #and put it in his movie and allowed it to be thst again and it was for arguably his like magnum opus #and that scene just fills me with such a sense of peace and nostalgia and hope and i cry everytime!#and everytime that movie is in theatres i go and see it and after its all over and i walk out and feel the sun shine on my face #everything for a moment feels like its gonna be okay and i think of my dad and the first time i saw this movie in elementary school #on one of those days he just had off and we took the day off together and how during the moment in my life everyone else was telling me #abt how important school was even when it was killing me he knew that sometimes you just had to take the day off and take it easy #and he let me everytime without questiom cause he knew what it meant and how much it meant to me
