ftr i do think lesser of you as a person if twitter is your primary, or heaven forbid ONLY social media. why are so many supposed leftists and artists so ride-or-die for the ai scraping fascist propaganda app. why do you make fun of the people leaving for bluesky and crow that they'll be back. why are you proud of staying there.

3 BAD BILLS TO KEEP IN MIND FOR 2025

KOSA : Kosa is a terrible internet bill that would make it mandatory for platforms online to enforce age verification via ID, and deeming any content “inappropriate” for kids to be banned. This could range from not safe for work content, to health ressources,LGBT ressources, to climate change. It’ll be up to politicians to dictate what is and isn’t proper for kids,and, of course, killing encryption. Here are some ressources to get ready to fight KOSA : https://taikeero-lecoredier.tumblr.com/post/738573191699660800/we-have-a-server-to-help-fight-against-this-we Scripts to use : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IyBUe6frFGF44rJQU3TahZ5zyG3tC7jai_hPneAKlnM/edit?tab=t.0 JOIN OUR SERVER AGAINST IT !

HR9495 would allow to stripe an organization of it's "non profits" status, and force them to pay taxes if the govt can "prove" that they are affiliated with terrorists with barely any concrete proof. This will impact non profit organizations such as ACLU, AO3, Fight For The Future, Electronic Frontier Foundation, AO3, The Internet Archive and many more that fight for human rights.

wtf is jayvik.

you start off as lab "partners." heimendingle tells u to destroy it bc hes traumatized by the arcane but hes immortal, hes old, hes not afraid of death the way all humans are; jayce talks abt legacy, progress, and memory here, all lies of scientific hubris (ian malcolm's "whether or not you should" comes to mind here) but that's bc for aiap jayce is young, jayce is alive, ofc viktor would want to work w this fresh blood compared to hingledeimer's apprehension

contrast w the mortality crisis viktor has that spurs on this final need for legacy... w the audacity of the melce sex scene to be portrayed as cosmic orgasmic soulmeshing sex intertwined w the merging of viktor and hextech via blood-- both of them make their betrayals to each other in this way, both of them stop forging a path together and autonomously make a diff path. Also not them literally contradicting their values over n over again (tho jayce is compelled to whereas viktor more so gets consumed by the adaptations of his own ideology)

jayvik "it was affection that kept us together" divorce where after viktor has also abandoned the warnings of hextech and the fact its literally being weaponized , allows it to consume him, the fact jayce spurs this cannibalization thus intertwining viktor's fall w his own (the weaponization issues w jayce and the govt now manifesting completely parallel in viktor's dehumanization as he merges w the tech); the bastardization of hextech, the perversion of it; viktor swapping from destroy it to, it IS me and i will continue to live as i see fit, use this weapon for good because god knows u cant, fucks off to the underground that you have abandoned

jayvik jesus and judas yaoi in 2024... what is the role of "punishment" in relationships? Why do we feel guilt or shame or regret if not to learn from our mistakes? What right does the partner have to facilitate growth by triggering these "bad" emotions? Viktor having the audacity to be the man from jayce's past to save him and show him the arcane and to start it all; jayce having the audacity to kill viktor in his base timeline with the weapon and purpose HE HIMSELF GAVE HIM;

jayvik "in every universe, you have shown me this" jayvik in every universe i learn what it means to live because of you, jayvik in every timeline i fuck up because i wanted to save you, jayvik we started out chasing our dreams together and viktor, i wont let you die alone, and jayce, i wont let our memorial be a bad one

my sil with pots who's on aish: a pots diagnosis is enough to get on aish especially from (pots specialist)

me: okay *gets diagnosis from the dpecialist*

govt: rejected. you might be able to work if you wore compression socks.

me: hey regular cardiologist (bc i literally cant contact the specialist) can you let me know if you can help at all with aish?

my cardiologist: pots isnt enough to stop you from working. no.

[just-jordie-things]

spiderman fan anon here again who yapped abt how i think ur spideygumi fic is the literal greatest spidey au of all time.. sry i hope ur not tired of hearing abt it but i just reread the fic (again) and i cant stop thinking abt what mc and megumis development would be like from here… megumi is definitely not the typical peter-parker-type with his sense of justice (as one of his figures’ packaging hilariously summarizes “i save people unequally”) which has SOO much potential for a Good fucking hero story AND new relationship dynamic. like maybe megumi tries to become kind of a more “moral” hero on his own, but shit happens, maybe the govt or police are too corrupt and he realizes he can only trust himself to bring justice to the city, a more batman-like mentality. would mc have a problem with his morality and pull away? would she agree with it and help him as a journalist? would she disagree and give him the With great power Comes great responsibility spiel, leading to him growing into a more “true” spiderman-like hero? Idfk i do not write at all but i cant turn off my comics-loving brain with all this potential!!! i also dont mean to push u to write any of this but i had to talk abt it before i Exploded

the way i wanna make this fic a 5 movie franchise now becuz OMG THE AVENUES THIS OPENS UPPP

i am a marvel girl (sorry battinson baby even u aren't my fav) so i see spiderman!gumi having a deadpool mentality but without the mouth lolol

ok here's some very small thoughts i have about what a continuation in the story would've looked like:

he tries to find a mix between the public eyes' idea of the right thing and his version of the right thing but... dammit some people just gotta suffer a bit don't they?

he sees someone get a lil too harsh with a dog and he can't just give em a lil scare. next thing he knows they're beaten beyond recognition and webbed up to a wall for the police to deal with. fuck that guy, who hurts dogs??

when the news starts to call him things like menace and people start to wonder if he's not the altruistic hero they thought he was, megumi tries to balance between the different schools of thought of justice. he has you by his side, supporting him and wishing him all the best with being the best he can be...

so when some perp he's apprehending starts spouting off some real nasty shit, megumi tries to tell himself that prison will bring him to justice. over and over in his head he tells himself that he has to let some things go...

but damnit this bigoted asshole won't shut up and megumi just doesn't see how society could possibly function with pieces of shit like this roaming around. and no, when the guy's body goes limp after a swift ninety-degree head-spinning snap to the neck, megumi doesn't feel any regret. only relief that there's one less bastard in his city.

as for you, you've always trusted in spiderman. so you're learning to place your trust in megumi, too. you hate the rare occasion when he visits you bloodied and bruised, but you hate the idea of a city without spiderman's protection even more. you've been a fan of spiderman since the first day you'd heard of the sightings. a ride or die doesn't walk away just because things are getting a little nastier out there.

a career in journalism will prove to be difficult. the truth about megumi's double life is a secret that you both understand must stay contained no matter the price. you probably bounce around a few firms, trying to find just the right place to land where you can write the truth without revealing too much. however most outlets just want to report on the crimes spiderman himself has committed, and you struggle with badmouthing your hero (and your boyfriend)

i like to think megumi laughs at the papers trying to paint him as a villain. it doesn't stress him out, it's nothing to him really. just a source of entertainment for him to read to you over dinner. between the two of you, you handle the ugly headlines far worse. but megumi likes to rile you up by reading all the worst ones to you, just to make you fuss over it all. some nights it's like you're rivals again- megumi taunting you with the latest edition of the spider-menace storytelling, chuckling when you start to crinkle your brows and spout off about how some writers are uneducated phonies or how they're ungrateful for what he's done. you never fail to go on a long winded rant followed by some chugged down water. and as always, megumi will just smirk and shake his head as he throws away said latest edition.

i lost wind here but i would love to hear if anyone has other thoughts too!!

[fagenthusiast]

I, just like many others, *cannot* stress enough just how important it is that we dont stop protesting. that we dont stop posting about it, talking about it, fucking SCREAMING ABOUT IT. youve seen the news, isreal's govt is slipping. "oh but its so uncomfortable to talk about it" it's important you talk about it, cus thats the only thing that we can do to spread awareness (posting, protesting, even just simple conversation) and for people like me (kids) who cant donate money or anything, it is a valuable resource. please. post about it, talk about it, write your govt officials. they cannot keep this up and they know it.

[mithliya]

youre right about the third party thing, by the way. if you dont want to keep the argument going, feel free not to post this. but people get so angry about third party votes bc "it cant ever work" and never stop to think WHY it cant work. because the two parties have convinced you it cant! thats why! yes, for many election cycles, itd be a failing endeavor. but the more votes a third party can reasonably get, the more people know of it and will want to vote. our government is failing ALL OF US right now and the fearmongering that the main parties has instilled in everyone is to blame. i have heard republicans tell me countless times that if i dont vote for trump, im voting for biden. vice versa for democrats. no one can understand that actually, if i vote third party, im voting for neither. my vote doesnt secretly go to the more evil party. it goes to neither. because, like you said, both are destroying our rights and decimating countries.

also there’s so many steps in between making it more possible and it never being possible. like i just think before ppl act so hopeless to their government in a country where they actually have something like the power to vote and the power to change their govt at least marginally, americans should do more. take part in the existing organised efforts to improve ur country’s democracy, take part in the existing organised efforts to protest the two-party system, take part in combating the “vote blue no matter who” mindset. as long as a huge portion of the americans with the power to make at least mild change to a system they KNOW is rigged throw their hands up and say it’s hopeless, it’ll remain hopeless ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[cosmicanger]

I’ve noticed a lot of fashion/art/etc blogs with a specific “aesthetic” post Palestinian quotes, art, photos and so on to fit the theme of their little blog……. and then move on from the ongoing genocide the next few days. Like they’re posting just for people to notice, not even reblogging posts with ACTUAL info, actual links for donations and boycotting and so on. Like it’s all for show. And then they get to move on. At that point, just dont post anything at all?..

(received 3 nov 2023)

yea all of the platformed Black folks and nonblacks in general who are too scared to say they fight for Palestinian liberation and didn’t make any post about the genocide until around October 18–20 can fuck off forever. Black people tried to warn y’all that neoliberalism was gonna defang the movement and a lot of people on tumblr are going to virtue signaling AT BEST and no one listened. but these the same people who stopped masking w n95 or better because Genocide Joe and CDC said it was “safe” and the pandemic is “over.” These are the same people who cant take a basic hot take on antiBlackness and identity politics online, These the same people that don’t know about de-arresting, kettling or productive, disruptive nonviolent action; all they know is aimless marches and clout chasing through “empathy.” “You can see who is being silent or neutral to maintain their resource & clout, who will sustain or even gain clout for being vocal right (they know they will never say, lose their job or get arrested for being vocal or who would have a low bail; there are Black people who still in jail for 2014 actions…). You can see who is being vocal because they have nothing to lose or they risk their livelihoods because they earnestly care about the violence oppressed and marginalized people go through globally.” Not saying everyone being vocal is full of shit but most don’t have range to connect all the violence in the world together. “trust it’s free palestine forever but a lot of these accounts dedicating their time to palestine don’t have any political framework that includes ALL freedom movements and a lot of them are antiblack and that is just… not doing the work. we need to see systems and movements as connected. u can’t say free palestine and then try to silence black people when they bring up the way the free palestine movement is entangled with our struggles. u can’t say free palestine and then ignore what’s happening in the congo. u can’t say free palestine then harass a black trans woman. if ur not condemning ALL genocide then wtf is the point.” “it's kinda funny how none of y'all will make the connection between how you regard black people online with malice and instantaneous bad faith and why the genocides being carried out against black people are comparatively neglected in people's thought and action. it's kinda funny how none of y'all will make the connection between how you regard black people online with malice and instantaneous bad faith and why the genocides being carried out against black people are comparatively neglected in people's thought and action.” The only people I believe when they are vocal about Palestine are Palestinians in the region facing genocide and ethnic cleansing and the people who arent Palestinians were vocal about violence around the world before Oct 7th, didn’t wait a week to condemn Israel’s genocidal govt until it was “safe” to do so later into October and who still mask w n95 or better; the rest are virtue signaling to me. not lost on me that most of these nonviolent actions have been maskless and excluded disabled people but the few actual disruptive nonviolent actions have been the most masked with the least amount of people. most people making noise rn aint about that life and like you said should stfu and stop posting but they wont so

[thoughtsbeewild]

I hate it when our government leaders including federal and state preaches I condemn violence on national television worldwide- THEY speak the bullshit words our hearts, our sadness--yet VIOLENCE IS STILL INCREASING, ya words don't mean shiet(your just trying not make yourself look bad to the media)--HOW BOUT DO YOUR DAMN JOB, STOP TAKING DAMN SELFIES..QUIT MAKING IT ABOUT YOU!!

i feel like govt has so much power in federal and local level, yet they still don't know how to decrease crime. When the police officers get there all is done. Like its stupid..

Biden television appearance the sadness, it breaks our hearts, and same with trump and Vance our sadness our hearts, then you fuckers take a selfie and make it about you. And you wonder why people cant stand our govt...

LIKE BIDEN ON TV TODAY, LIKE WE KNOW YA DONT CARE, STOP PRETENDING...
