Kinda freaking out over what’s going to happen later today rn at 5 o’clock in the morning bc I can’t sleep. Uhm. Yeah.

Anyway, shit you need to know:

You see I.C.E?

Yell, “La Migra.” (La-mee-grah)

Be as loud you possibly can.

They are supposed to be starting Raids in Chicago on Tuesday.

You know neurodivergent or queer people?

No the fuck you don’t.

Are you apart of that spectrum yourself?

Suddenly you aren’t.

Know trans people or trans yourself?

Nuh-uh.

Do you have immigrant family?

Tell them how to answer I.C.E if they come across them. (a bunch of shit on TikTok can tell about that)

If you have birth-right citizenship, you’re at risk too.

Don’t be in usually populated areas.

Like, the mall, movie theaters, etc. it’s not safe, trust, there will be dumbasses out there today and probably the rest of the week, keep that in mind.

Anyone ask you about your political views?

Say NOTHING.

Or, “I don’t like to talk about that stuff.”

Don’t talk about them at all.

Same goes for your identity, aight?

Idgaf if he “saved TikTok” it was a stunt, they think we’re stupid. Forget that shit, don’t thank him. It’s fucking propaganda.

Stay safe,

Eat the rich,

And Deny, Defend, and fucking depose.

Ik im not popular, like at all but please reblog, share, whatever

imagine:

its january 19th, 2029. the next president will be taking office tomorrow. youve nearly survived trumps second and last presidential term, no matter the struggles, the fears, the new experiences, the peaceful moments, the ups and the downs. youve almost done it.

you open tumblr, and the newest, most spectacular webbedsite holiday is taking place. and your feed is full of this image

throughout the whole day, this meme is passed around. some are edited with pictures poking fun at the soon-to-not-be president, others with effects of confetti and fireworks. but the most widespread are being continuously made to count down the time live, and one increasingly popular blog has countdown posts scheduled updating to the second.

finally, the next president inauguration comes, and theyre sworn in, and youve done it.

youve made it. no matter how, youve survived. you can breathe. and youre okay.

“Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.” ― Octavia E. Butler

‘Title - Chip & Pud-tato?’

It does make sense to put ‘Pud’ in ‘potato’ in a mix-up naming sentence. In seriousness for the most part, I did come up to bring you this crossover concept for my own Ham and Pud’s animated journey….not really if I wanted to make an animated series like that, but at least it worth something to bring. Anyways; I know today’s the celebration for Inauguration Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, but I had something in mind unlike some of you people doing.

Also, I had to force Pud to wear this after unknowingly landing in Chip’s world. Needless to say, he’s gonna had some regrets later. (I’m still not going crazy about the ‘Chip and Potato’ show, but at least it was still available on Netflix and YouTube.)

If today, January 20th, 2025, was an Ao3 tag, it would absolutely be

"Dead Dove: Do Not Eat"

[blueandyellowdiamond]

[redlipstickdujour]

BELIZE: Up in the air, just like that angel, too far off the earth to pick out the details. Louis and his Big Ideas. Big Ideas are all you love. "America" is what Louis loves.

LOUIS: So what? Maybe I do. You don't know what I love. You don't.

BELIZE: Well I hate America, Louis. I hate this country. It's just big ideas, and stories, and people dying, and people like you.

The white cracker who wrote the National Anthem knew what he was doing. He set the word "free" to a note so high nobody can reach it. That was deliberate.

Nothing on earth sounds less like freedom to me.

You come with me to room 1013 over at the hospital, I'll show you America. Terminal, crazy and mean.

I live in America, Louis, that's hard enough, I don't have to love it. You do that. Everybody's got to love something.

LOUIS: Everybody does.

-Angels in America, Part II: Perestroika, Act 4 Scene 5-

Yes it is Inauguration Day 2025, but it’s also just another day in America. So take care of yourself & what you love, transcend the symbolism of the others hateful visage, to fly past the small nonsense…

HANNAH: An angel is a belief. With wings and arms that can carry you. If it lets you down, reject it.

PRIOR: Huh.

HANNAH: There's scriptural precedent.

PRIOR: And then what?

HANNAH (A little shrug, then): Seek something new.

and if you weren’t as lucky as I was to learn from Great Depression grandparents:

• everything you can wash, save, and reuse or alter/repurpose, start learning to do it. you can always toss it later if you look it up and CAN’T find a use for it that makes it worth keeping for you. But give yourself the chance.

• learn to mend and do basic hand sewing.

• learn cheap recipes based around rice, beans, potatoes, etc. (casseroles can help with this, and use lots of cheaper frozen or canned food too)

• ten extra seconds every time you use something to refold it really well (or wipe it off, or repack it, or whatever) will extend its life so much. spend the little bits of time and the small routine maintenance tasks so you don’t have to replace things or repair them nearly as soon

• coupon. use sale ads. check every membership and group you have for discounts and deals.

• build a deep pantry. you want enough to feed yourself food you’ll actually eat for two weeks. If you want and you can, you can expand it to three months.

• learn how to dehydrate or can or freeze dry if you can

• learn your local plants and what you can forage

• build strong communities with people you can mutually trade supplies and skills with (ironing, home repair, mending, weaving, carpentry, painting, landscaping, gardening, etc.) and people who you are lightened and warmed by and can socialize with and emotionally support each other with

• swap things. Find local buy-nothing groups and local freecycle people

• USE THE LIBRARY. FIND OUT ALL THE THINGS IT CAN DO AND PROVIDE FOR YOU

• there’s no shame in using a food pantry. Use one if you need it. no one there is judging you. many more people have used one at least once in their life than you’d ever guess, I promise.

• inventory what you already have. For real. Fully. Your supplies for food, your cooking appliances, your toolbox, your entertainment games, your books, your clothing. Know what you have, figure out what you need to fill in still, and figure out if you have any extra you can give away, swap, or sell to those who need it

• humans are always humans. humans have always been humans. in disaster, humans tend towards kindness and community. NOT panic and distrust. accept that fact and live and plan accordingly

• shelf stable is your friend

• Learn To Ask For Help

Milestone Monday

Trust in Transition

On this day, January 20, 1937, Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first President of the United States to be sworn in on this date. Previously, presidential inaugurations were held on March 4th. The change to January 20 was enacted by the 20th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1933, which aimed to reduce the time between the election and the inauguration. This also marked the first occasion when the vice president took the oath of office on the inaugural platform instead of in the Senate Chamber.

Other noteworthy January 20th inaugurations include:

In 1953, Dwight D. Eisenhower was sworn in as the 34th President of the United States, making history as the first president to start his term on January 20, following the changes brought by the 20th Amendment.

In 1961, John F. Kennedy was inaugurated as the 35th President of the United States, making history as both the youngest person to hold the office and the first Roman Catholic president.

In 2009, Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States, making history as the first African American to hold the office.

In 2021, Joe Biden was inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States, making history as the oldest person to assume the office at the age of 78. Along with Kamala Harris, who became the first woman to serve as Vice President of the United States.

Now, in 2025, Donald Trump is returning to the Oval Office, a development that has sparked a wide range of reactions across the political spectrum and reignited discussions about his previous presidency and the policies he is likely to pursue in his second term.

In commemorate this, we present images from:

Changing Times: the Life of Barack Obama (MavenMark Books, 2009) by Glen Jeansonne & David Luhrssen.

Official program. Inaugural ceremonies of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Washington, D.C., January 20, 1961 (Washington: Kennedy-Johnson Inaugural Committee, 1961)

Official program of the ceremonies for the third inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt President of the United States and the inauguration of Henry A. Wallace, Vice President of the United States, January 20, 1941 (Ransdell, 1941)

Official program of the inaugural ceremonies inducting into office for a second term, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States, John N. Garner, Vice President of the United States, January 20, 1937. (Ransdell Incorporated, 1937)

Bury My Heart at Chuck E. Cheese’s (University of Nebraska Press, 2019) by Tiffany Midge, a Native American poet, editor, and author. The book includes a foreword by Geary Hobson, a scholar, editor, and writer of fiction and poetry. The featured poem is titled Step Right Up, Folks.

Getting top surgery on January 20th 😅🫡🫠

[exquisitetomarrymortcorpse]

Thirty-six weeks! Fourty-two days left... how are we feeling? 🫣

In little over a month, the first-ever exquisite tomarrymort corpse will come to completion (😏). We've surely got mixed feelings about this. I, for one, am thrilled to show everyone the efforts of several months (almost a year!!) of hard work and love put into not just the last five lines we exchanged or strokes we submitted but every line and stroke of this event.

It's been a long time coming, and now that we're so close to the end, I must be feeling that holiday nostalgia... what say you, fellow corpser? Or even soon-to-be corpser...? 👀 (Still can't believe you all want this trainwreck to start back up again in 2025. 😩) How do you all feel going into the end of 2024? I might poll the discord server for highlights 😂 we could make a "best of corpse 2024" sort of thing! To those not in the corpse... keep your eyes peeled 👀 we have a fun, interactable game planned for you! Perhaps you're familiar with BINGO? 🫣

Our eighteenth murderer (participant) has been contacted. Let's give them all the deathly love, support, and belated birthday wishes and again applaud the hard work of our seventeenth great corpse clearer 😎
