OK, but for real though, our options are only "genocidal Joe" or "dictator for a day" Trump. If we don't support Joe (solely by way of votes. PLEASE keep pushing against him about Palestine) then we are automatically supporting Trump.

That's it. Those are the only results.

And I can guarantee you that Trump will not be any better for the Palestinians. Shall I remind you of Trump's blanket "Muslim ban" pretty much the instant he got into office?

Trump sinks his feet in hard and refuses to bend and move. Hence the January 6th insurrection attempt upon him losing the presidency. Joe CAN be pressured and bullied and convinced to change course with enough civilian hate. Trump doubles down.

I get the bullshit of claiming anti-Biden = anti-LGBTQIA+ is the point of the post, but it's such a bad faith shaming tactic. (Also, if you ARE one of those people simply countering with "but the queer community!" Please stop. I get it. But that feels like a bad faith argument as well.)

I'm sorry. Suck it up. Support Palestine elsewhere. The world needs you to vote blue in November.

Not "anyone but Trump" because 3rd party votes splits up the anti-Trump votes, and that's how he won last time.

We HAVE to stick together and vote for Biden. It SUUUUUCKS and feels like we're betraying those he and his administration has hurt and helped slaughter, but WE HAVE NO CHOICE!

Vote blue. Then rain down your hatred again after he wins. We CAN sway Biden with enough pressure. We CANNOT sway Trump.

Palestinians: Joe Biden has the blood of thousands of Palestinians on his hands. I will never support a genocidal monster like him.

Some random white tumblr user: oh so you want queer people to die huh you want to kill all trans people and scream make America great again huh I know you love trump just say it out loud say you want to vote trump and hurt queer people I know you do have I mentioned you love trump and you need to stop pretending you care about those terrorists-I mean those Palestinians. Btw you love trump

such a huge relief that hillary’s so ahead in the polls and trump has such a small chance of winning, right? WRONG. DO NOT GET APATHETIC OR COMFORTABLE. DO NOT DECIDE YOU DON’T NEED TO VOTE BECAUSE YOU’RE SURE HILLARY WILL WIN. the only way trump can win now is if so many people expected to vote for hillary don’t show up to the polls. because you BETTER believe ALL of his supporters will be at the polls.

brexit passed in the UK because young people grew apathetic because they were sure it wasn’t going to pass. and it did, because old racists and xenophobes showed up in DROVES to vote.

tl;dr: VOTE, PEOPLE. VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. IT MIGHT.

actually that ao3 post about calculating kudos-to-hits ratios to decide if a fic is worth reading has me so pissed off. someone put real time and energy into something they are SHARING WITH YOU FOR FREE on a site where you can quite literally filter and search by anything you want and you're STILL trying to find a foolproof method to find stuff that's "good enough to read"???

YOU ARE NOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR EVERYTHING

you don't have to like or read everything in a given fandom or tag, but you also don't have to be a cunt about it and imply that it's not worth reading. this is the kind of shit that moves people to stop creating altogether, and to see people agreeing in the tags is so disheartening. absolutely unserious behavior.

a fact about me is that i was an early bloomer who hit puberty in elementary school and was immediately, obnoxiously horny in ways that were uncomfortable for everyone because no one is prepared for an elementary schooler with b cups and a deep fascination with movies where people get tied up. another fact is that because i was considered smart for my age in the ways that mattered, i just accepted all this as a single package, the many ways that i was not really a child the way other children were children but was instead a miniature adult. i was technically a child, but not really, as far as i was concerned. it also did not occur to me until around high school that i was fat, because i instead considered myself to be sturdy, to be buff, to be built like a tank.

so somewhere around middle school i am noticing the ways in which i am Not Like Other Girls, the ways in which i am not what society says a girl is and the ways that things marketed to girls do not appeal to me. i don't know how other girls dealt with this, but i very rationally decided that i was only technically a girl, in the way that i was only technically a child. so i looked at the things that did appeal to me, and that i did enjoy, and reverse engineered my demographic to decide that on a practical and functional level i was a middle-aged man. i had also gotten really hornily into wolverine because of the first x-men movie, and ended up reading a lot of comics, so as you can imagine the comic book version of wolverine who is short and built like a tank and older than he looks despite being for all intents and purposes a middle aged man really had some appeal to me.

there are idiots who say shit about how tomboys would be considered trans these days or whatever, but i can assure you that was not what was happening here. by middle school i already had to special order bras and i was fine with that because of the many weird fetishes i was developing, none of which can be blamed on the internet because i hadn't found that shit yet and also to this day you would have a hard time finding anything similar to the things i wrote in my secret notebook and immediately destroyed. the fact that i was technically a girl was vital to all this. media where there was a big reveal that some cool dude had been a hot chick the whole time was my shit. weird feral beast people who turned out to be hot women once they took a bath? fuck yes. i would never have cut my hair because that would have ruined my chances to take off a helmet and reveal that i had girl hair. at no point did i think i was anything but a girl, it was just that i was functionally a middle-aged man, who was a girl.

what this means is that i still liked all the things i already liked, such as leather jackets and comic books and anime and old stand-up comedy, but i also did extensive research on the other things i felt i should like according to the demographic i had assigned myself. i watched vh1's 'i love the 70s' with the air of someone trying to hide their amnesia, even though my parents were children in the 70s. i got into the beatles. i tried to get into cars for a while before accepting that i only liked the vintage car aesthetic and couldn't be fucked to know actual car facts. i wore nothing but cargo shorts and aloha shirts for a while, which didn't really stand out that much because it was middle school. i bought a fedora and became a libertarian atheist. i made plans to buy a motorcycle (i could not ride a bike).

i gave up on it after a while because quite frankly my titty situation meant there was never really going to be a big reveal that i'd been a girl the whole time. it was pretty obvious even with the cargo shorts. also the older of a teen i was, the more likely it felt that i could maybe get laid, except i could tell that was never going to happen as long as i kept wearing cargo shorts. it took longer to give up the fedora because it was leather and i wore it with my leather jacket and fingerless gloves, which i convinced myself worked a lot better after i'd gone full high school goth. i lived in the desert so you can imagine how well that worked out for me, smell-wise.

anyway that's how my female socialization went, i don't think it was particularly successful tbqh

Once again, end your NYT subscription

With the casting of season two of PJO coming up, I keep seeing people talk about who they want for certain roles like Tyson, Thalia, Silena, etc., but I think we’re forgetting about the most obvious and important casting decision. By that, I mean I will never be truly happy until Jack Black is cast as Blackjack. I genuinely couldn't care less about the casting; I trust the casting director with my life, but if I don’t get to hear the voice of Jack Black call Walker Scobell "boss,” I don’t think I’ll ever be truly satisfied. If Lin Manuel Miranda can be Hermes, I fully believe we can get Jack Black

DONT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE! DONT STOP TAKING ABOUT GAZA!

DONT LET THEM MAKE YOU FORGET!!

The concepts of NSFW is being cleared of the Internet under the false pretense of children’s safety when it’s really about the people in power sanitising for advertisers and pushing evangelical narratives AND that not enough is done to keep legitimately harmful content off of spaces that minors have access to are ideas that can coexist

The full video that the meme came from:

[Video Transcription:

Did you know you can put a sock on with a towel without bending? Shout out to a follower who sent me this hack. It's great. If you don't have a sock aid at home you can use a thin towel folded into thirds or halves, depending on the thickness of the towel. And then you're going to slide the sock over the towel end, making sure that the toe is all the way down to the tip. That's super important. Otherwise it will get stuck halfway up. Next, you're going to drop it down to the floor so that your foot goes into the kind of fold that you've created. Then you simply pull until the tip of your toes touches the tip of the sock. And pull the towel out.

/end transcription]

*Transcription note: The towel used in the demonstration appears to be a full-body towel; something long enough to reach the floor while still being comfortably held without the need to bend. The towel is then folded to narrow it enough to fit inside the sock without shortening the length. Keep folding towards the center to create that sort of chute for your foot to slide into. If it is an extra-wide towel, fold in half first, and then fold towards the new center to create that chute.
