His Name is Birdie Santlers

Things I Would Rather Do Than Edit My Front Page Again (Apparently) A Partial List:

Laundry

Cook dinner

Bath

Scrub the ring out of the bathtub

Play with the cat

Proofreading and formatting upcoming instalments

Proofreading and formatting in general

Fill and label spice jars

Sew antlers and a Santa hat to an owl

...and compose this Tumblr post!

OK, but I'm going to put on a movie, wait for my sleep stuff to kick in, and make another go of it. I'll keep going until the movie's over or I reach another impasse.

Or until something else distracting happens. I need to iron that reflective stuff onto our coats so we don't get hit by cars, don't I...?

[snekdood]

so uh

for 1. most people are gonna take advantage of black friday and wont see your specific niche tumblr post, I hate to say it

2. the us isnt running out of money for war any time soon, so...

3. this is just antisemitism???????? all we need is some (((echoes))) around the us and israel and then I'd have no reason to suspect otherwise from op...............

So I'm assuming a lot of us have seen the "Creators for Palestine" thing plastered on our YouTube homepage. I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt if A. it wasn't giving to PCRF, which isn't a reputable charity and donations to it go into Hamas's pockets B. the literal first person on the list wasn't antisemitic tankie piece of shit Hasan Piker. I'm so heartbroken over so many of my favorite YouTubers on the list.

As the US election closes in and the final states take to the polls, I want to remind people to turn out and protest.

Yep, protest. Strike, disrupt, be out there on the street regardless of who you voted for or who wins. I expect to see you all out there demanding; access to abortion nation wide, protections against discrimination, free universal healthcare, a free Palestine, anti war, prison abolition, to increase the minimum wage, and for a US free of the electoral college and that counts votes as votes.

Yes, you can say "you should vote for Harris" and do so as much as you like, but do not forget the power you have through your own everyday actions away from the polls and that of protesting. Do not use the excuse that your right to vote means it's somehow more foundational or important than the right to protest. You have the ability to create direct action and that is so so important, please don't just expect a rich representative to stick to their promises every time you vote; you have power too, never forget that.

This system will not change until we, the people, make it. There is NO representative that can ever change the system that allowed them in, and likewise; this system will never allow a candidate that would stop it from continuing and/or ensuring its designated purpose of oppression and subjugation. Resist, regardless of the results.

Long live the resistance.

The far right scored 40% in France for the European elections. We're the second country with the most seats. And many other countries have the far right leading too. This is a catastrophe.

Because of tonight's results, President Macron decided to dissolve French Parliament. We're called to vote again in 21 days. The left is scattered and all parties have suffered an incredible defeat today. The only result of these new elections will be to give majority to the far right in the French Parliament too. We'll have a neo-capitalist president governing with a far right prime minister.

I don't know why he chose to dissolve. Like the entirety of the left, I hate Macron. He's been conducting the cruelest class warfare and the bourgeoisie received several victories thanks to him. But I still prefer his majority to a far right majority. He called himself the shield against the far right. It was already hypocrisy and I've been saying for a long time his policies were just giving power to the fascists. Now he's literally doing it.

I know the man wants to cause panic so let’s be clear about what actually has to happen.

Trump needs to be sworn in first and foremost and then go through the Senate for all the picks he’s headcanoning like it’s a fancast for a Marvel movie.

Don’t feed into his bullshit 💙

Not one of my oldest fandom friends reblogging a threat PRAISING MACKLEMORE 💀💀💀

[saccharinecoffee]

I think it's so funny and also based that they turned Helmut Zemo, a prolific nazi in the comics, into an extremely vocal anti-imperialist fruity leftist, one of the absolute funniest decisions that could have been made.

I'm gonna have to wait out a few weeks to be able to complain about jjk's ending bc rn half the ppl are bashing everyone who expected more as ppl who just wanted gojo back

that post about putting on the dune audiobook at a party where everyone was on lsd except it was my friend playing the dead flag blues when our group was wizard high in our second year of college

so joe biden has just laid out the terms for a ceasefire in gaza. it is not perfect by any stretch of imagination, but it will put an end to the daily casualties and bring in much-needed humanitarian aid, as well as closure to the families of hostages who will receive their loved ones' remains.

can you guess which part of the political spectrum is, for some insane reason, vocally opposed to it rn?

I call it incident like it's a silly nuisance but honestly one of many that make me not underestimate the male violence that comes form boys. we were 15 in this, he might have been 14 always a bit younger than me. but what this teenage boy did after I stopped entertaining his ego by getting into "debates" in class with him was finding me asleep in a corner of the school (I used to catch an super early train and always be tired) and take a picture with his dick on my face. then circulate the picture amongst all the students. I knew it was him and immediately went take my satisfaction the second I threw his skinny ass on the ground he admitted to it and gave me the name of three other boys who were with him. I managed to get people talking about how pathetic of a reaction that was to being ignored after there was proof of it being him and thet convinced the school community it wasn't consensual or deserved. like me being unconscious or the fact everyone knew I had a girlfriend of years at the time wasn't enough already. but that story always made me uncomfortable for two reasons. one was that a girl who was not as used to violence and fighting her battles could've not handled it as well as I did 15 is not an easy age. but the second is the certainty he had that it would look worse for me than for himself. and that the school staff wouldn't touch him. the first ended failing for him but only because I fought back. he was shamed less for how much of a rapist in the making elements that action had and more for getting beaten by a girl. telling in itself. been a decade now and working in school and watching similar harassmet of girls by their male peers makes me never forget.

I understand people being disappointed and furious with Biden because I am too, but he is not the same as Donald Trump.

He did not start an insurrection against the capital-

Like you need to vote Democrat I know they’re terrible but Trumps supporters literally tried to hang the former vice president of the United States and republicans are still defending them. If all that can happens to politicians and again the actual vice president what do you think they’re going to do to minorities, trans people, poor people, people with less power?

Yall they tried to hang the VP-

We need to get democrats to do something about all of the issues we care about but letting republicans get into power isn't going to help that. And even if we form a better party, y'all won't have a democracy anymore if Trump gets back in. It is much easier to fix a broken democracy then it is a dictatorship.

Everyone stop what you're doing and go read KJ Charles. She is a master class in queer historical fiction and writing diversity authentically.
