A Pragmatic and surprisingly comforting perspective about the Trump 2nd Presidency from the ACLU

***Apologies if this is how you found out the 2024 election results***

Blacked out part is my name.

I’m not going to let this make me give up. It’s disheartening, and today I will wallow, probably tomorrow too

AND

I will continue to do my part in my community to spread the activism and promote change for the world I want to live in. I want to change the world AND help with the dishes.

And I won’t let an orange pit stain be what stops me from trying to be better.

A link to donate to the ACLU if able and inclined. I know I am

#us politics #donald trump #election 2024 #aclu #a promise to myself #how is this comforting you May ask #bc we are not fighting alone or uninformed #we have good and strong groups in our corners defending what we believe in #it’s not over yet #we have to try and pushback #added Alt image descriptions since this is leaving containment #happy to see many engaging with this to either donate time or money or both #really warms the cold heart of mine #wow this broke containment #overall it’s been pretty nice seeing people engaging with it ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work #they did the travel ban right at the beginning of the previous presidency too #also every major civil battle in the last century #brown V board of education- the one that desegregated schools #loving V Virginia- legalized interracial marriage #roe V wade- legalized abortion #United States V Nixon- watergate scandal WHICH LIMITED US PRESIDENTAL POWER #Edwards v. Aguillard- helped allow schools to teach evolution #Planned Parenthood v. Casey- another abortion case #ACLU v. NSA- to stop the NSA spying on wikipedia users #Ingersoll v. Arlene's Flowers- fought to stop LGBTQ discrimination from businesses #Obergefell v. Hodges- case that legalized gay marriage #literally WAY MORE GUYS #so don’t fall into dispair! these are literally one of the good ones!

Part of the reason that Republicans are so desperately acting like they will never lose again is because they are deeply terrified that this is their last real chance to win. The big orange dipshit came in and gutted the party of everyone who wasn't a loyalist, which left it full of nasty little gremlins who have gaping voids where charisma and human decency is supposed to go.

They still hold a lot of power, but if we stop them this year the next presidential election may not be the Most Important One Of Your Life™, that's not a guarantee or anything, but if they don't win here and now their future looks grim, this dipshit is the only guy they have left and he's extremely diminished and has his brains leaking out of his ears at this point. We can beat him into the ground.

So that's what we're gonna fucking do. We're gonna break these fucking fash. They will crash upon us and we're gonna break their fucking necks. When they come for us they will lose because they're fucking losers and we have each other's backs which is something they fundamentally are incapable of comprehending.

#We will fight them on the shores in the trenches etc etc etc #I know it's been said before but the people who said it were right to beat back fash for whatever else they weren't right about #Fuck these fucking little bastards who want to rule our fucking lives and destroy our communities #They've got too much power as is and right now is our moment to crush them and take it back #If you're not into Harris fine work to kick the GOP off your city council they're shitty little gremlins there too I guarantee it #(Hell if you're in LA there's two good chances to swap a shitty Dem for a good dem on the council)#But it's time to fucking break their necks and if we do it here the worldwide movement of these fuckers is gonna follow #Not because we're particularly special but because our fascists are pretty large exporters of the stuff #A loss for them is going to shred their party this unholy alliance is already fraying between the fundamentalists and the tech ghouls #Let's magnify that shit for them by making them eat it.#Don't mind me I'm just sick of these fucking ghouls and ready to make them suffer for what they've tried to do #All implied violence in this post is metaphorical ;)

many centuries down the line they can manage to have a civil enough family game night.

#cult of the lamb #narilamb #Leshy carved losers corner above lambs bed many games ago and they think it’s too funny to fix #Anyway lamb does eventually marry narinder but after a good while of tormenting him on who to choose for marriage #I think at one point narinder starts dragging suitors into the battle pit #And says only someone who can beat him is good enough for lamb yayyy #This comic came out pretty clumsy but I’m just glad it’s done #cotl art

sometimes i randomly remember how insane maggie stiefvater was for making ronan lynch—a man that can create reality—a man of god, when he himself is a god of a man. then to take this man and have him be not only in love with, but a literal soulmate of a man named adam. parrish. adam parrish. who, mind you, lives above ronan's very own place of worship. and is the namesake of the first of mankind that the bible says god made from the literal dust of the ground (adam parrish: comes from nothing, hair "dusty" in color) and appoints him to care for the garden of eden (adam parrish: sacrifices himself to ronan's sentient forest). then has adam viewing ronan as a god and ronan saying "maybe he dreamt (created)" adam???? like who just fucking writes that and goes about their life?

#if i think about them too long i start going actually insane #maggie pay for my therapy bills please #me and my ignored religious trauma are literally have never been able to handle it #the raven cycle #pynch #ronan lynch #adam parrish #and the fact that i read the series pretty soon after i realized that pretending i believed in god was doing more harm than good and left #i was still a kid and had very bad undiagnosed ocd that made my implusive thoughts surrounding hell and eternal damnation and the end days #and it terrified me so much as a queer trans kid to realize i didnt believe but still had thoughts of that in my head and then to read this #series like a year or 2 later was brain altering for me #anyways where was i going with this #ahahahha #im having a moment #adam's last name is pretty self explanatory too like....miss girl

Paulina was walking home from her little self-care date~ when she noticed a familiar figure, she slowed, double checked to make sure it wasn't some random civilian, grinned and-

threw her knife!

Wes caught it, because of course he did cautious bastard. And yes she realises this now that fighting on the street was not the smartest move but it was a long time since she saw her friends from Amity and they got along fairly well with Weston.

So they had a good time, she managed to nip him on the cheek with her knife (after taking it back) he left her with a new bruise (it will be gone by tomorrow noon) and then they were both taken in by the police...

And now she has to explain why she did what she did to the GCPD and Ancients help probably Batman as soon as she gets back to her apartment. Who could've guessed that having a friendly brawl would be so taboo in Gotham? (who is she kidding of course it's suspicious it looked like they were trying to kill each other to any normal person!)

and she's not sure how much she should say!

#dpxdc #liminal amity park #amity parkers in gotham #Wes is laughing but he knows he's fucked too #Ghosts bond by fighting #liminals too #damn i want to read that #feel free to use #Wes is gonna call Danny to bail him out #Danny is somehow amused and not surprised #Paulina was having a good time until she didn't #because cops #paulina sanchez #wes weston #Wes figured bats's identities but keeps to himself #bats be bats #paulina has very pretty ornate knife #paulina does knife throwing

been going a little bit insane about this sentence from Ace by Angela Chen for the past week

#replace this with any other type of significant relationship too #also! this book actually rules btw i really recommend it #i didnt read it when it first cane out bc i was like. well i am already pretty familiar with asexuality and not rly interested in 101 stuff #but it turns out it doesnt feel 101-y at all its a super awesome piece of queer theory and also chen has Good opinions #and not weird watered down ones that i am sometimes wary of in aspec communities (frankly especially ace ones)#i think maybe if more people approached asexuality the way chen does (including and maybe even especially ace people)#i would be more inclined to still ID as ace #but anyways!#aro #aromantic #<- tag selections that reflect how i personally engage with this quote #also #described in alt text #also also #j tag #:/#aro media

my humble offering

#mothzilla #mosugoji #godzilla #mothra #zuka doodles #drawings #mothra: the new colors are nice btw~#Goji: oh thank you!#I killed Tiamat to get them #I was trying to draw them at least kind of on model....#but did take a lot of artistic liberties #cause realism does not at all suit my style #but Im really proud of how they turned out!#and think I did the coloring pretty dang good too

I watch Arcane for the plot.

The plot:

#arcane #ambessa medarda #mel medarda #sevika arcane #vi arcane #they’re all so pretty and cool to look at #Mel’s character design is just too damn good she’s so pretty #Ambessa makes me go fucking stupid #same with Sevika #the diversity in the show itself amongst the characters is so impressive I love it #I’d put Cait on here but she pissed me off sawry #I LOVE WOMEN!#I LOVE WOMEN WITH MUSCLES!
