Iran is bombing Israel apparently, FAFO moment truly.

Both Biden and Trump are vowing to defend Israel with harsh military force against Iran.

If they follow through with it and the US moves against Iran, this will actually become a war.

Do not stop pressuring politicians to support Palestine. Do not stop advocating for Palestine. Do not stop protesting Israel. Do not stop protesting genocide.

From the river to the sea.

Incredibly frustrating how often people take criticisms of society and especially established institutions of power as like. A personal attack.

in a wild turn of events, the professor teaching the early christianity course im taking was and continues to be the only one treating the election results with any sense of proper gravity

[pumpkinland]

I wish anyone gave a shit about people in Texas who are suffering under our govt and the immediate response was not to make jokes about how everyone is required to be Christian and pious like you realize that's the fucking problem right like its not a funny little joke this is an actual reality that's killing people

Honestly I feel like I’ve been more visibly trans since the election. Like out of spite I’m becoming more trans masc just as a fuck you to the world.

[princesssarcastia]

i mean, listen. the group of people who hold the most sway over what's about to happen, the people whom I will hold most responsible for what comes next, are the white moderates. and as always, that terrifies me.

because, well, I'm not a huge fan of his anymore, but dave chapelle had it right when he said, in his post-2016 election SNL monologue:

"I didn’t know that Donald Trump was going to win the election. I did suspect it. It seemed like Hillary was doing well in the polls and yet — I know the whites. You guys aren't as full of surprises as you used to be."

man the violent cognitive dissonance between "I need to do everything in my power to get out of this house because my abusive fathers mental health is clearly declining which will make things Worse" vs "If I take advantage of my moms offers to help me get the fuck out of here I am Abusing My Class Privilege And Therefore Should Suffer The Fate Of Die"

Fanpol discourse musings/dumb shit:

I just woke up so this is gonna be extremely disjointed and incoherent but I'm in a non-zero amount of fandoms where most or all of the characters' races/ethnic identities are completely up in the air and I keep running into this sentiment that the villains are white. Specifically the villains with some kind of systemic power over the protagonists, who are usually portrayed as people of color.

In rare but extremely unpleasant instances I'll run into the sentiment that those villains must be white, that we aren't "allowed" to headcanon them as POC (or marginalized in any way)

And, like, I get it?? I get not wanting to see yourself in a horrible villain that you hate, but on the other side of the coin, white people do NOT have the monopoly on bullying and abuse of power and I think it's kind of.... showing your ass a little reductive to insist that only white people be portrayed in these positions of systemic power and that POC can ONLY be victims under them. Do you get me.

Also what if I like that villain and want them to share marginalized traits with me. What then.

[awkward-teabag]

Yes I have Thoughts™ about Falcon and BC United. I'm not big on the BCNDP given their actions under covid, their backtracking on election reform, and how they've continued to do as little as possible to be considered "progressive" while retaining the (financial) benefits of the former party, but FUCK Falcon and the BCU.

The NDP has improved some under Eby after Horgan left but

fuck falcon

Ok so 1953 was 70 years ago... 2053 is only 29 years away. This is my point the conservatives and Republicans in this country want to drag us all back 70 years ago if they had their way. I chose 1953 out of thin air, but pretty much any year of 50s. Because white men controlled everything back then. It's the 21st century for fuck sake, we're closer to 2053 now, are we all going to sit idly by allow them to this? Y'all realize we could easily vote all those old white bastards out of congress if enough got up off our butts and actually went out and voted, no matter what it takes. The only reason they stay in Congress and everywhere else is because more old conservatives and Republicans get out and vote. And I get those fuckers make impossible in alot of places to vote if we aren't one of them. But we gotta be fuck you, we're stronger, smarter, better, younger, more determined to have a better future. So we're not going to let their bullshit trickery and straight up cheating stop us from voting we'll get it done. Even just to piss those motherfuckers off. Vote for people of color, lgbtqia+ candidates, trans candidates, vote for not Republicans or Democratic candidates (if they get enough votes they'll win), vote for candidates that are younger then 50!! Just fucking vote, because even if think it does nothing, if dislike/hate conservatives/republican/fascist politicians voting against them will piss them the fuck off, prove them wrong about all of us, make them look stupid (which is always fun) and hopefully save our democracy. Because those motherfuckers are chipping away at it, it now huge fucking pieces their taking off not little pebbles. Just look at all laws they've passed at the state level to restrict our civil liberties, control free speech by banning books, passing laws to control women's reproductive rights, first the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade now having state after state passing insane laws banning abortions. In every case is a clear indication how much conservatives man don't care about women or our lives. Then the onslaught of laws targeting the trans community, limiting their access to health care they need and unleashing a wave of transphobic all over ourcountry. Also laws targeting the lgbtqia+ community, banning drag shows, that in theit history never hurt anyone. There a celebration.

We the people, remember there are way more of us then any political party, any amount of politicians, no matter how much powerful they think they are. We our number them! We are louder, we are angry, we are feed up, we are tried of the lies, we are tried of all the bullshit, we done being told what America should be like. Because that definition doesn't work anymore, we're gonna give America a new definition for right now! For the 21st century, for 2023 because we're not going the fuck backwards no fucking more. The only direction is forward, into the future, we want to know what America can be in 5, 10, 15, 20 years from now. That is not some conservative, Republican, fascist, authoritarian old white man wet dream!!! Nope, not happening not on our watch assholes!

We will not go gentle into that good night! We will rage, rage against the dying of the light!! In other words will not allow our democracy to be killed by traitors to our country that even now spit fascist ideals in Congress, in Governor offices, state legislators, mayors officials, city councils, school districts. Just look at horrors that been unleashed on Florida because of Ron DeSantis who is without doubt a fascist and an authoritarian!

That why the next elections are so important. Why it's so important to register to vote at

And go out vote or to make it easier if your state allows voting by mail, that what I do. I'm in Arizona, they send me a ballot in mail, I fill it out. I can either mail it or drop it off. It's great!! To see if your state has voting by mail go to.
