I’m just saying that no one knew what 2025 would look like in 2015, we don’t even know what 2028 will look like, and I distinctly remember the “everything is doomed” posts in 2020 not holding up by like, late 2021, so I just really wish people would consider that we all know far less about what the future will look than we think, and people should think about that before they type their “actually everything is screwed for at least the duration of our lifetimes” posts.
I’ve discussed my reasons for opposing doomerism before, but in addition to all of that, it’s also quite simply that, if you look at like, any period in history, there were forks in the road where things could have gone really well or really badly. Sometimes the bad things happened, sometimes the good things happened, but the point is that the possibility to go in either direction was always there. None of it was predestined. Moreover, the people who were living in those times might not have been right about which path they thought society would go down, even if the current world around them suggested they’d go down x path instead of y. Various points in human history could have turned out very differently, for better or worse, if small things changed in our timeline. That makes it really hard to predict the future!
Thanks for asking, nonnie. That’s very kind of you. If you or anyone else has some spare change and wants to give, here are a few ideas:
United24 is the official fundraising platform established by President Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian governmental members and directs money to all areas of the country.
The Olena Zelenska Foundation is primarily focused on medical, humanitarian, and educational aid across the country and was founded by the First Lady.
Stand for Ukraine gives you a range of charity options, depending on whether you want to donate directly to the military, or you would prefer to fund non-lethal or humanitarian aid, etc.
Come Back Alive is the main fundraising platform for the Ukrainian military. You can choose to donate to air defense, heavy weapons, demining, medical aid, overall combat equipment, etc.
Donate to Ukraine’s Defenders also offers various (carefully vetted) links and options to donate to rebuilding projects, private medical assistance programs, initiatives for democracy, and others.
The mansplaining from JD Vance. The problem is that the toxic bros on the far right are cheering this on, thinking the talking over and admonishing Zelenskyy like a child showed strength. The irony is completely lost on them that they showed zero diplomacy while discussing the need for diplomacy. And gas lighting poor Zelenskyy.
Trump and Vance are a threat. This vile ambush of Zelenskyy was beyond embarrassing.
volodymyr zelenskyy is the strongest man alive for sitting through this utter bullshit without swearing or punching the fuckers or angry crying. fuck trump and fuck everyone who did not vote for harris and fuck russia.
like i can’t even read this bit of news without feeling humiliated and i’m not even fucking there.
i am terrified that i will have to sit back and watch the loss of ukraine in front of my eyes.
Also, just an argument thing? Saying “you’re so ungrateful, you should appreciate how much I am doing” in an argument is just incredibly rude and not at all constructive. Having been on the receiving end of such treatment in the last year, over something MUCH LESS IMPORTANT THAN RISKING THE SURVIVAL OF THE HUMAN RACE OVER WORLD WAR 3, this is so fucking horrible.
tumblr is the best bc I can say that Kermit is a butch lesbian and at least one person will agree with me
okay fine, go big or go home with this
if the stupid butch Kermit post gets 10,000 notes by the end of April I will do my best approximation of a butch Kermit outfit and make a video of me singing rainbow connection in the cosplay
companies make billions from you thinking you’re ugly btw. only ugly thing is their bottom line. log out of tiktok right now.
learning to ask ‘is this an ad’ will save your life
like if you get a video like crazy ex storytime while i contour my round face. why this new trend only really works for square face queens. met the love of my life in the elevator at the square face convention. plastic surgeon reacts: square face beauty routine. robot voice is there a loneliness epidemic or are you just a round faced karen (tiktok soundbite and dance). someone somewhere wants to sell you a de-roundifying purifying face roller and scrub that does fuck all. and even if it did it wouldn’t matter
