I just blocked a long-time follower because I learned they were anti-choice, so let me make this clear:

If you do not support the right to abortion, you can leave right now. Otherwise I will take out the trash whenever I find it.

The difference here is the person sought out the individual responsible for the suffering and killed them. It’s a variant on the trolley problem, because in the basic trolley problem the person dying is another innocent.

This is an important distinction, morally! In this version you are saying it is okay to sacrifice one person to save multiple others, so long as the sacrifice earned it in some way. That doesn’t mean you’re okay taking action that results in the death one innocent person to save five innocent people.

As a side note, I think a lot of these posts are reactions to ethics teachers presenting the trolley problem extremely poorly when they teach it. My teachers were awful at getting to the ideas underneath the trolley problem and my classes (because I have taken multiple ethics classes against my will) reacted almost exactly like this because we were being railroaded to one distinct choice and judged on it, instead of encouraged to articulate why we had chosen what we did.

Dear Bonnie, I am a coward. I should be saying this to your face, not writing this letter, but I know if I do, you’ll talk me out of running away from all my problems. You’re gonna make me face a future without Elena. Then you’re gonna help make me the best man that I can possibly be. The same way she did. And I’m absolutely terrified of failing you both. So I’m leaving. Because I’d rather let you down once than let you down for the rest of your life. And I hope it’s the happiest life. Because you, Bonnie Bennett, are an amazing woman, a mediocre crossword puzzle player and my best friend. With great love and respect, Damon.

I felt the random need to do a screenshot redraw of that one part near the end of sparkle matter matters where puppycorn goes "and I'm a dog!"

Seeing my own fic reblogged onto my own dash is like a jumpscare.

This one made me weep for a perfectly good URL.

these new bots are NOT OK. Them having actual tumblr names is giving me psychic damage. I feel like curling up in a corner and crying.

yesterday "remainingforefinger" followed me and the fact that this ISN'T a nonbinary autist from Poland who works as a dentist's assistant, but A BOT, makes me want to SCREAM.

No Lines At Cedar Point: A Jomfru Brothers fic

There’s no lines at Cedar Point and the skies are clear over Lake Erie. Most important of all though, Edgar and Eric Jomfru are together.

A gift for the wonderful @pipartuuli 💕

I was watching that scene in utter disbelief because they had ONE job. The whole conflict is between the Blacks and the Greens, so-named for the dress colors. Easy peasy, you can change other details, but the dress scene is iconic even if you move it to a different venue or event.

And yet. They found the one way to make it not work.

green dress slayyyy but. rhaenyra? in white dress? might kill myself in protest
