HELLO THIS IS YET AGAIN ANOTHER REMINDER TO VOTE FOR EUROPEAN ELECTIONS

"AND WHY THE F---- SHOULD I???" Edition

Because the EU has a meh to fucking excellent track record on the following topics and can do good work if you send the right people there:

Data privacy

Queer rights

Women's rights

Culture and Education

Green policies (I know, I KNOW, but still)

Consumer's rights

Food safety

And it's got a shit track records on the following that will keep on getting worse if you do NOT vote:

Immigration and asylum

Authoritarianism and democratic backslide

Fiscal policies

Lack of democratic input

Because you may not be sure if it's worthy it, but we know exactly WHO will be VERY motivated to go vote, and they are not exactly putting a green ballot in the box.

Mu Qing ascending is objectively so funny considering Feng Xin and Xie Lian also do. Out of the people in your kingdom who accomplished immortality there’s this guy who used to be your servant but is now on equal rank to you and he‘s super rude now and also thinks you hate him because he remembers when you were 18 and lacked socioeconomic-interpersonal awareness

[peachcitt]

What sucks is that I can feel that a major split in the fandom is probably inevitable now

I guess this is doomposting but I can already see it happening

idk, I'm gonna support the workers in any case

I don't particularly care about the current argument over the union, it's pure distraction to shift the discussion away from the actual problems, as if anyone here actually cares about the union and not just what the union can possibly facilitate

But I do care about the employees and former employees of QSMP and they deserve respect and dignity and credit, not slander or vague passive-aggressive accusations

Which I've unfortunately seen even from people I know and care about, even people I follow or used to follow here on Tumblr, even people I consider friends

So, I feel like I should just be honest here, idk how I'm gonna handle this diplomatically in order not to burn too many bridges unnecessarily, because I don't actually want to lose people over this, but I do also have principles

I had no animosity towards Quackity before this, I hope you can see that from my blog history; I've never been a cc!Quackity hater. Unfortunately at this point I do need to see him do better than this, because his employees and former employees deserve better

If he does actually try to make it all up for them, if he actually talks to them with respect and a willingness to listen to their concerns and their experiences, then I have no more beef with him

I don't think he's a bad person, but he is doing a bad thing

That's all

Pros: I can now sing (badly) every word of a total of twenty two Gilbert and Sullivan songs.

Cons: no one cares.

it's getting cold + snowing in my city and I am so fucking angry because this year cops have evicted more encampments then we can ever remember them doing in like the past five years. it keeps happening when we're going to do outreach + mobile syringe exchange and we'll drive past the spots we always go to and our neighbors are just gone, because in the middle of the night without announcing it cops evicted everyone. and like they've been doing this shit for years but it is so much worse this year. they've put in so much more new anti homeless and anti sex work architecture this year and even though there's some rad ppl fucking it up, there's still so much. and i'm just fucking livid every time we go out there for overnight outreach and all my sex worker friends tell me how much more cops are harassing them this year like. fuck this shit so much. stop criminalizing survival. we keep losing track of so many ppl because of this and we keep having to wonder who's alive and who died bc the cops trashed their tent and it's fucking below freezing outside. we lost four people in october and november who were murdered for being trans sex workers and it's just. there is so much grief and there is so much anger and i want to tear it all down

[unopenablebox]

one of my friends organized a trans(*)-only lunch for people in the department which i had a shockingly good time at. partly because i have apparently already met and befriended the entire trans and nonbinary population of the biology department at ***

however, since there were several people there who have only recently started Considering Gender, we did get into like "how did you tell your parents, how do you handle coming out to people" type stuff

and since i firmly recloseted at work back when the alternative was trying to come out to ancient faculties members over zoom, my answers were all things like "just do things and don't explain them! personally instead of ever telling anyone my pronouns i just refer to myself as a man only when using the rhetorical third person! i see it bring the fear into certain people's eyes and then i do not address that fear."

and i feel like that was. irresponsible advice

i hung out with a coworker for the first time last night (love her sm) and she told me that i have a reputation amongst the Team Leads for being "scary" and making them nervous LMAO apparently because i always "will ask for more money or for the Leads to provide documentation that what they are asking of me is within my job description" ...I...DIED i cannot believe that my unwillingness to be taken advantage of has left me with such a reputation🫠lol

I've never been a "born in the wrong generation" type of guy because for So Many reasons I would be dead. Full stop like I would have died during childbirth I would have died of appendicitis age 8 and that's not even factoring in my queerness and neurodivergency and ultimately my mental health (carefully maintained thanks to support/modern advances in medicine and treatment). On Top Of That my hobbies include The Video Game and many such things that are of modern invention (adjacently: including The Device I'm typing this out on right now which has become my main avenue of communication to the outside world)

But I'm just saying that. It WOULD be nice. To exist in a world where fluorescent lighting doesn't exist and everything is possibly 99% less overstimulating all of the time forever.
