In-office work parties with Gary the High Master Illithid / Barista, “2Wash2Furious”, my ogre zombie dishwasher, and Viktor my ex-intern / disgruntled ghost are about as dismal and Barovian as you can imagine.

US politics and history time for a moment...
The people who want to claim that voting for Biden would mean they supported genocide remind me a great deal of the people in the 1830s - 1860s in the North who wanted immediate abolition because they believed slavery was a sin and God would hold them guilty of that sin if they didn't oppose slavery. This sometimes resulted in them supporting 3rd party candidates that, SURPRISE!, did nothing but push the election toward the most rabid pro-slavery candidates.
You know what most of those moral anti-slavery people didn't care about? What happened to Black Americans. They were concerned only about their own guilt, not Black Americans' welfare.
None of these people making this a moral issue now show any signs of caring what happens to Palestinians OR to all of the other groups that will suffer if the dumpster wins instead.
Biden can't wave his hand and make it go away because the US doesn't have unilateral power worldwide (though some Americans seem to believe that, sigh.) There are limits on his powers, especially since he has to negotiate with a hostile House of Representatives. He has chosen what is actually a pretty effective route and fought for at least some aid to get to Palestinians. And currently he has *some* leverage with the Israelis.
The question you should be asking yourself if you really care about genocide is which choice will do the most to help the Palestinians? Do you really think the dumpster would do even as much as Biden? Or would he be actively helping them and every other imperialist country (*cough*Russia*cough*)? And who else will suffer if he wins that would not under Biden?
If that isn't what matters most to you, then you're no different from the moral abolitionists and other Northerners who wanted slavery restricted (because it depressed wages for free white men) but also wanted to make it illegal for African Americans to move into new states like Ohio and Indiana and Illinois (racism and fears of wage competition.) Or to ship them to Africa, no matter how many generations had been in the US?
It's not idealism. You're self-centered and egotistical and actively choosing evil if you think "punishing" Biden is the result of not voting.
Vote pragmatically. Vote strategically. Vote with the welfare of the most people possible in mind.
#us politics#us history#And don't bring up effing obscure 3rd party candidates until they *aren't* obscure any more#And have a broad base of local and state and congressional office holders for that party to support them#And a political record that proves they can do the job#I got sucked into that once when I was much MUCH younger and saw an election go from a moderate candidate I wasn't enthusiastic about#To one of the worst presidents we've ever had#Voting for one of those in a national election is effectively voting for the dumpster#do you really know how the US government works?#Anyone who wins has to be able to get Congress to work with them and your 3rd party candidates have virtually no connections there#Your 3rd party candidate would effectively have to become a member of one of the two major parties to get anything done#But without the support of that party's political machinery etc. especially as they approached re-election

I need Chappell Roan to use critical thinking and be able to handle valid criticism especially from queer POC
#chappell roan#us politics#can she take a break from calling people stupid?#here’s what we do: vote Kamala first and THEN pressure. her administration to change#you can’t tell people not to vote that’s dangerous#america isn’t radicalized enough to rely on a 3rd party#so until then we need to do what we can to keep demons like Trump out of office#she’s right#both parties suck#but she needs to check her IMMENSE privilege before sending a nonchalant message about a very important election

why my mom can’t flush or wash her hands is beyond me
#personal#it’s the washing hands mainly#like does it suck to see pee/poop left over Yes. Emphatically Yes.#way better than seeing her walk out the rest room and not once hearing the water running#and like i call her on which obviously she doesn’t like#which can lead to her doing it#telling me she was gonna do it in the kitchen sink#which way are you washing ur pee/poo hands in the sink we clean our dishes in?????????????#or yells at me i’m not her mother#mother fucker you ruin the communal space as is don’t make it poopy too 😭😭😭😭#haven’t eaten all day bc when i ran home to grab my lunch#two car accidents made the ten minute trip back to my office the whole hour#and i see or smell something gross in my house i immediately lose appetite.#i do have cereal so i can eat that 👀#ugh now i’m remembering her grabbing a fist full of the bowl i began making yesterday when she asked me to paint her toenails#i hate bashing her in this way bc it feels. worse than just calling her on her actions buts it’s so fucking gross#she grew fungus under press ons i did for her and swore off them#but all i could think is that…….#i don’t even wanna say it#dad made me lose 30 pounds last year on accident i’ve actually gained weight - not all of it bc i still fit in the#clothes i bought during that time but let’s see if i can lose more bc of my mom#like cooking yesterday way gross bc of the house and then i remember my mom can also be gross#and has control of every room outside of my room#which is a mess bc i’ve been partying so much#(it was a mess before laundry is KICKING my ass)

This election is going to make me lose my fucking mind, some of y'all are not using your brains at all and it shows
#the amount of people going 'well both parties suck so I'll just vote 3rd party' AUGH#yes both parties suck#but 3rd party candidates are not a viable option right now!#you can't jump to change the 2 party system by starting at the BIGGEST FUCKING ELECTION#if there is no solid foundation for 3rd party candidates in the government it won't win#if you want 3rd party to be an option for presidential elections start voting 3rd party people into local offices#work to establish things like rank choice voting in your area#create that foundation for 3rd party candidates#until then trying to vote 3rd party in the largest election will be actively detrimental#did none of y'all pay attention to what caused trump to win in 2016?#yes the democratic party sucks ass but Trump and what he plans to do is worse#especially for minorities#I would love if we could just vote for who we morally think is a good candidate#but unfortunately with how things are we can't do that or we will end up with the worst option#because the right wing voters aren't splitting their votes between multiple candidates

I don't know how to explain to you chucklefucks that for the most disenfranchised among us, NOTHING HAS FUCKING CHANGED since Trump left office. We know how bad it was, we were fucking here. And we are TELLING YOU, not speculating about the future, we are TELLING 👏YOU 👏NOW that nothing fucking got better for us and some of us ALREADY have nothing left to lose THANKS TO BIDEN AS WELL. NOT JUST TRUMP. WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SHIT ALL ALONG. Not JUST once Trump got to office!!! And NO IT HAS NOT BEEN FUCKING EASIER. WTF. Incoming tranmission from Planet Neoliberal Voter Privilege.
You stupid pricks don't even seem to realize that Trump leaving office DIDNT MEAN HIS APPOINTEES ALL WENT WITH HIM. THEYVE STILL BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME. Alive and WELL AT WORK helping to push some of the worst antiqueer legislation we've seen in DECADES while Biden, who barely has 2 brain cells left to rub together, decomposes before our very eyes.
If you think TRUMP was the thing that brought neo-nazi fascism to the mainstream, you are so comfortably privileged to have gotten to ignore it, to have never fucking heard it until then. And you are way too out of touch to be addressing the people you think you're talking to rn!
The "sign off on your glorious revolution" bit really gets me. Lmao. What a fundamental misunderstanding of the issue. What a hilarious way to misconstrue entire swaths of political ideology. You think Policial Jesus is going to come and save your ass, so we must think that too, huh?
Shits gonna hit the fan this year regardless of who "wins" the election, and it's not merely because of The Orange Man. It's also because of everyday lay people like this OP who have merely been privileged enough to ignore the suffering of your neighbors until now. Your privilege is running out, not because the revolution is coming, but because the hegemony that affords you that privilege cannot continue indefinitely. That machine runs on a profit-growth-extraction paradigm and we are running out of resources to extract from.
I don't know how to explain to these fucking people that you are the tone deaf motherfuckers we're talking to when we say you need to stop talking and learn. You have reblogged support of BLM and UBI and Palestine but at the end of the day you *don't fucking listen* to what we're saying in those posts. At the end of the day you are not hearing our cries of pain. And its pretty fucking ridiculous to turn around and point at people EVEN LESS PRIVILEGED THAN YOU and say "don't you realize that YOU'RE going to threaten MY safety and stability with your uncouth actions?" Well, bully for fucking you, because we already lost that! It's been gone! It never came back for some of us after Trump left!!!! You got to plug your ears and pretend the pandemic was over while millions of us became disabled and homeless for the first time as a result!!! While BIDEN admitted HE DOESNT THINK ABOUT IT ANYMORE!!!!! You got to go back to your life while protestors railing against our tax dollars being used for GENOCIDE are being injected with KETAMINE by the COPS!!!! If you thought TRUMP was that fucking scary! At least he outright said what he was doing!! Biden is continuing his work with ICE, continuing to increase surveillance and crack down on any kind of protestor, cop cities are expanding UNDER BIDEN, DEMOCRATS ARE ALSO VOTING FOR MASK BANS!!!!!!!
It is SOOOOO BLATSNTLY SELF CENTERED to think that you losing the privilege of a comfy life is the biggest threat to ""our democracy"" rn. YOU got to ignore how bad shit was until now. Some of us NEVER HAD THAT LUXURY. Our democracy fucking died decades ago and YOU got to keep playing Weekend at Bernies with it's corpse while the rest of us dug our own graves. And now you're scared because you stand to end up like us.
Lol. Lmao. Get fucked. This type of attitude is only furthering the class/social divides that already exist between voters and WILL. NOT. get anyone to vote harder for Biden. In fact, it just makes me wanna fist fight a Democrat even more than I already did.
First they came for the indigenous, and you didn't say anything bc you got yours. They came for the immigrants, and you didn't say anything bc you've always been a citizen. They came for the prisoners and their voting rights and you said if they didn't want to lose their rights they should follow the law, even while they made it illegal to mask, to protest, to be gay and trans in public- its so easy to just follow the rules! They came for the trans kids and you said, but we already have gay marriage, I thought it was safe to be queer now, and I dont have trans kids so I don't see how this affects me... they came for palestine and you said Oof. Well. That's the price of freedom for me, I guess!
And now they're coming for you and none of the other targets are left to feel worried for you, because we have already been living through your worst nightmare, UNDER BIDEN.
You look fucking stupid.
if you could EVER find a dem as outspoken and angry for the people as trump is for the white 1% then maybe we wouldnt be having this discussion.

#me#happy out of touch thursday every fucking day#to a homeless queer ass disabled ass mfer like me?#the Horror of Fascist America that you FINALLY woke up to for 5 mins when trump was in officr#thats just how America has always looked to me.#always.#you sound like MAGATS. vote for a dem and make america great again. just like how it was before trump. yk. perfect#literally all that changed w trump in office was that the gov was being honest for once#hell yea we're gonna build a wall. fuck them kids.#dems lie and waffle and pussyfoot and they go ooohhhhhh we wanna help :((( we want to sooo bad its just :(( ugh its so hard :(((#im tired of propriety#if dems gave a fuck they would also be angry#but theyre not! bc they are neoliberal shills who DONT FUCKING WORK FOR YOU!!!!!#america is NOT a functioning democracy and it hasnt been for a WHILE#privilege is the carrot that allows some of you to believe theres no stick.#the fact that youre losing it for the first time sucks#but id be a LOT more sympathetic to you rn if youd been to me all along#esp wrt 'the government hurting me' lmfao#biden has also done his damndest to KILL ME.#neoliberals will continue to also create a means testing resource hoarding wildly unequal society bc they *HAVE THE SAME INTERESTS*#ie CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL INTERESTS#not real people. we are not of interest#the sooner you realize that the better#the new panthers would never eat my face party realizing ur face is about to get eaten#preaching to a choir of people whose faces have long since been digested

feels very strange to get podcast ads about how pride friendly orlando is rn what with the current political conditions of florida for very large swathes of the queer community
i mean i dont have any suggestions for like idk the marketing team of the orlando tourism board to do any better like i certainly wouldnt know how to advertise rn, thats a rough hand youre stuck with and i hope your shit ass transphobe fascist politicians drop dead.
just. wild to hear rn
#toy txt post#and like maybe it is a pride friendly area within florida but like the fact that im getting advertised it from a very different state#its just Feels Very Weird. its like the same energy as when companies started having normal ads again about having like#holiday gatherings and football parties in like 2021/2022? like no actually the unprecedented times are still upon us. your pandemic ads#were insufferable for sure like they felt very weird and stupid and patornizing and but you have somehow managed to Make It Worse#thats kinda how it feels like the same vibe. it was one thing before it was pride month and it was just like casually trying to convince me#to come to universal and disney but now its june so theyre talking about their Gay Days#and like it would almost certainly be very weird and uncomfortable if it was like listen we acknowledge the current guy we have#is going like full blown fascist with an intent on genociding queer and particularly trans ppl but like listen we installed this new ride#and we'd really like for it to pay for itself with ticket sales or whatever. idk just feels weird. i dont know if i have a suggestion for#the advertising board of tourism in orlando to do differently like i dont have a suggestion for them except to maybe get that fucker out of#office. and it probably feels less weird if ur like In The State or in another state with similar horrifying shit#its probably like well whatever and thats fair. i mean its not fair i hope all your transphobic fascist ass politicians drop dead and that#yall will be safe#anyway. just. very weird. anyway idk. @mouse if you kill desantis with no mercy just fucking destroy his ass#ill forgive u a little bit and consider hitting up your extremely expensive theme park if i have the funds. universal if u pitch in on#destorying that bastard ill consider visiting you again too. again if i have the funds. i wont go to the terf wizard section but i do want#to see the new hulk track 🥺#ppl of florida especially marginalized ppl of florida. you deserve so much fucking better than you got im so sorry#floridian govt makes me so mad for like the regular human reasons of. they suck for a lot of fucking people and also the very important and#unique ecosystems yall have down there but also for the personal selfish reasons of. florida seems like Really Cool if it didnt have#like#the fascists. and gun culture. id love the climate. well. on the Atlantic side. gulf too warm for me personally. so many creatures down#there. cool places and you got those Very themey theme parks and listen i would like disney to have less power (#(AFTER THEY DISEMBOWEL DESANTIS. I WANT THEM TO DESTROY HIM AND HIS CRONIES FIRST. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ANYTHING)#but like they did kinda go off with the Theming. i do love that. universal too BUT. not to derail this post into roller coasters but also#sorry that is a thing im incapablw of being normal about sorry UH universal also went tf off with the themeing and i Love it HOWEVER#i do with the coasters were more. visible. i cant speak for disney i only went once as a very small tiny child and i remember nothing#but i went to universal in high school like Right before they completely retracked hulk and the theming was incredible i was obsessed.#but there was no way to see most of the coasters without actually riding them which i did find very disappointing.

I sincerely hate you 💞
#this is not a new stance i've adopted since beginning to identify as gay ftr#i've always thought it sucks#lesbians have actively been discriminated against/subjected to hate crimes for not being attracted to men#you really and truly cannot claim to be a lesbian if you are interested in men. period. you cannot claim that label#it isn't yours#this isn't 'gatekeeping' words just mean things you fucking idiot#you can't call yourself a lesbian any more than jennifer lawrence can call her cat trans. dumb bitch#yes i did have a lot to drink tonight at the office holiday party i went to yes it has made me Mean#i'm not sorry. you just suck

godddd i just know the world is making fun of this country for electing a felon who wants to take away the rights of everyone except white men
#im not saying ‘us’ because i do not consider myself one of these individuals#y’all stupid#funniest part is that somehow a massive amount of ppl must not have seen the parts of his intended legislation where he makes everything 10x#more difficult.. raising tariffs = higher costs#raising the retirement age so you will probably work until you actually die#getting rid of the BOARD OF EDUCATION?????? when we’re already nearing an intelligence crisis bc new generations are brainrotted by age 3#but yeah he doesn’t want gay ppl or minorities to exist so that means he’s the good guy apparently#he also only barely wants women to exist. he would prefer they be objects actually#alright guys great plan we’ll see how you like it when living becomes EVEN HARDER for everyone. not just the people you baselessly hate#being the laughingstock of the world is so embarrassing please get me out of here#note that im not saying the other choice was necessarily good. bc she wasn’t#but she was the lesser of two evils i think#if we stopped trying to put insane radicalists into office I wouldn’t be complaining but now it’s a ‘how hard can I oppose the stereotype#‘for the other party’ type thing and it’s honestly just stupid#and the candidates end up just being walking political stereotypes and good god such harsh views are never good#this sucks man#j.yammering

I hope every reactionary liberal “vote blue no matter who” person kills themselves forever
#predicting if any of them find this some form of#‘no. just no. you know what? fuck this. fuck you. how dare you. ‘ these motherfuckers don’t have a single original thought of their own#and they all demonstrate that they have they have the backbone of an al dente angel hair spaghetti.#the hair on my head takes a stand better than you do.#when you’re faced with saving yourself or saving others you focus on yourself. don’t fucking go ‘if I could save you I would’#bc no the fuck you wouldn’t. not unless you got something in return.#and they truly believe in ‘American exceptionalism’ and believing their lives are more important. it shows#guess what? I’m also someone who will suffer from any of these candidates. they all will hurt me.#I could pick the one with the least destructive policies regarding my own living situations and those around me.#but what people are trying to get through your thick fucking tin foil covered skulls is that there is no lesser evil#when it comes to genocide. there is no ‘kill everyone a little nicer’ option. that doesn’t happen. you acknowledge who you’re supporting.#have the fucking respect for the people suffering from those policies to at least do that.#‘if you vote for anyone but the dem party candidate you support trump’#y’all could be a trump campaign urselves by making your own campaign look insufferable stupid and spineless.#trump isn’t the fucning antichrist. he sucks and I don’t want him in office but he will not initiate Armageddon.#we have already survived FOUR YEARS of the fucker.#and the democrats truly haven’t been different!! what world do you people live in where the dems have done anything for us??#the vote will have blood on it no matter if it’s red or blue. sit with that.#Harris will NOT be better than Trump bc they’re both going to kill people. I think that’s a pretty significant similarity.#is the problem for you people WHO they’re killing? whether it’s people in another country or YOU. sit with that.#does it feel easier to let someone die that you can’t see?

tfw you ask the 'dont vote' psyop account for any alternative courses of action to just letting Trump win and literally install himself as the eternal dictator of the US (the project 2025 plans say enough there I think). And of course they just block you because they didn't actually think anyone would like. try to actually understand their propaganda instead of just swallowing it outright...
#i also don't want that genocidal freak to be the president. but trump is ALSO a genocidal freak. he would not help Gaza and he would#almost certainly devote even more budget for weapons and such bc he doesn't understand the situation but he does understand that#islamophobia sells. quite literally out of the frying pan and into the fire. third parties DON'T win in America. our whole system is built#to make it impossible. it simply will not happen. and the psyop accounts going 'vote jill stein' 'vote cornell west' know that. assuming 75%#of Americans are leftist and everybody votes (as they should)‚ if their votes are split three or four or six ways they lose anyway. and#the actual number of leftist Americans is closer to 60%‚ not 75. enough to win an election handily... if the votes aren't split in a dozen#directions. i literally went to university for political science. this is the most basic polisci 101 shit. it sucks ass - i hope it changes.#but as of NOW. you know. the moment human lives and futures are at stake. as of NOW that is the way it is. Biden has been shown to cave to#pressure. Trump doesn't give a single flying fuck about what the public thinks of him because his voters are going to continue to be his#voters indefinitely. he couldn't be made to stop ever until he decided he was bored of genocide and his voters would cheer for every second#saying youd prefer trump in office is looking at the queer and brown and Black people in your life and saying 'i don't care what happens to#you so long as *my* conscience is clear. as long as the blood isn't on *my* hands its fine by me'

Me: um she's called a bunch of times actually
Really guy: really?
#it's obvious when sophia rings because the ringtone is different#i don't get him sometimes#weirdo#Sophia's in the office tomorrow though!!!!!! get the biscuits ready#roll out the red carpet (as Colleen used to say)#so much better when she's not in tbh#On Monday she walks past one of the accountant's desk and goes 'why are you looking at Firefox???'#as if he's doing something wrong?????#it's nice when we're all chatting and bantering with each other but i miss when tony was downstairs#upstairs sucks they all have their own offices up there#downstairs it's open plan so it's just one big party

can't wait for the escalating denial circus as trump supporters and biden supporters do everything they can to pretend their favorite candidate isn't a geriatric with failing mental capacity.
#neither one is qualified to hold office#it's a real fucking shame neither party has the spine to boot them and restrict candidacy to the under 65 crowd#i love bringing this up IRL because i know a lot of older people who lose their shit about it#'but experience/know how/connections' sucks to suck - you should have built up the next generation#but instead you clung to power well past your prime and now there's no one to take your place once you're gone :) too bad so sad
