"both parties are exactly the same so it won't make a difference who wins"

okay so, fun fact: parties are a reflection of their voters

not their constituents, their voters.

why are republicans getting way more right-wing and fascist? bc far-right people have been turning out like crazy. they show up in primaries, in the general, they join organizations, call their reps, stage rallies and protests. they decide elections, they decide perceptions, so politicians cannot ignore them.

why are democrats historically pretty damn centrist? bc they are the only group that reliably shows up. candidates run based on who shows up, they govern based on who shows up, and if so many progressives and leftists keep sitting out elections in "protest", we're never going to get the candidates and governance we want. it's that simple.

so show up or shut up. because if you're not in that voting booth, you've already thrown away your best tool to actually fix things.

Every time I advocate for voting people are like "no you shouldn't vote! Read this literature, it'll totally change the way you view voting!" And every single time it's the same fucking "you shouldn't vote because both parties are exactly the same so it won't make a difference who wins" bullshit wrapped up in some fancy language

edit (10/23/2024) now that the poll is over: Original version, with 10 questions, from April 2023 here

And, given that the original is from April 2023, that means I can very easily say:

No, this was not an ISAT reference!

Just because I use parentheses and 2nd person pov and love the same concepts of what a time loop can do to a person doesn't mean it's ISAT

(Yes, I like ISAT, the original poll is why I was recommended the game! But if you look at the original, you can see all the origins of the options to choose from, including what spurred me on with the moss option from the replies)

If I were going to make something for ISAT, I would never be so vague, you can simply look at my ao3 for proof of that

This is so funny to me. Reducing them down to their simplest attributes. Turning them into symbols.

It's cathartic. People have always used stories and art whatever form it takes, to understand the human experience. By experiencing it through a story, it's

1. Easier to remove ourselves emotionally from a situation that's highly charged.

2. Better understand the motives and pain that led a person to do terrible and incomprehensible things.

3. Allow us to exert control. Over situations that are totally and completely out of our control in reality.

4. We get to control the pace at which we experience things. We get to stop the movie, switch tabs, bookmark the fic for later ect.

5. You get to feel feelings again. If you lost someone and didn't really process it, you might find yourself crying a bit harder during Marley and Me or Star Wars. You get to feel your grief, but it's not as big as the grief for your loved one.

This has been a PSA.

"new job prospects"

I am about to have some words with an entertainment journalist out there.

This is not about Good Omens. I don't know what this is about. But it's not our show.

Literally the only thing they got right was the overwhelmingly positive reception, and yeah David Tennant was Doctor Who.

wait but can we talk about how jarring it is to read official news releases ab this show after marinating for months in the good omens fandom on tumblr?? like, i'll read something from an actual news site that goes,,, "Good Omens explores the dynamic between two unlikely friends--one angelic, one demonic--as they navigate their lives on Earth in the aftermath of a failed attempt to enact Armageddon. Throughout the course of the second season's six-episode run, Crowley (as played by Dr. Who's David Tennent) and Aziraphale (played by the delightful Michael Sheen of Prodigal Son) must face down power-hungry demons, unexpected visitors, and new job prospects, all while playing matchmaker for a couple of shopkeepers in the area. In the wake of an overwhelmingly positive reception from fans, there's discussion of an upcoming season 3."

and it's like,,, I-- WHAT??? is this how non-brainrotted individuals approach the story? did we even watch the same show???

cause meanwhile, for the past three months, we've all collectively been like,,,

we really truly are living in the eye of the hyperfixation hurricane, huh?

Ortus' murder from the point of view of Harrow the Ninth is like. So turns out Crux isn't just Harrow's seneschal, he's her nurse. He was her touchstone for reality for years, the person she turned to to ask "did that really happen?" or "is that real?". And he lied to her.

She didn't believe him, about Ortus. He didn't succeed at pulling that one over on her, but he tried. Which kind of makes you question how many times he might have tried it before, and how many times he wasn't caught.

Something I love about Leo is that, canonically, he IS capable of cooking, he’s just completely incapable of using a toaster. He’s banned from the kitchen not out of an inability to make edible food, but because being within six feet of a toaster causes the poor appliance to spontaneously combust.
