this has been discussed before but reducing female characters to the girlboss braincell holder in the name of combating misogyny in fandom is ironically also a form of misogyny
people love love loooove to go on and on and on about whiteguy #135336843’s internal torment and the nuances of his writing and then when it comes time to talk about women it’s all um actually she can do no wrong and holds the braincell and babysits the boys like a mother hashtag feminism. i hope you fucking blow up
It literally is theft of government property. Nobody is supposed to have access to those servers and that data without first being vetted and given a security clearance, and guess what Elon doesn’t have? Or any of his minions who are romping around the buildings.
Arrest won’t happen while Trump is in charge and his cronies rule at the Department of Justice. There’s no state to file charges under their own laws, because DC isn’t a state – the only jurisdiction there is federal. But several lawsuits have already been filed, and more will follow.
life has gone so crazy lately, forgot my sense of humor, so here’s information and advice for my u.s. citizens:
an executive order is not a law. you will see lists circulating of a thousand executive orders trump has made in the past week, but be aware that the constitutionality of those orders are (knowing him) limited, and people and groups are already fighting them through the courts.
immigrants, here both legally and not, are at the most imminent risk. ice raids have begun. regardless of immigration status, i highly recommend checking out immigrantjustice.org and propagating it as a resource. know your rights and the rights of your community members.
things to do:
– chose one issue you care deeply about and organize around it. i’m usually a believer in intersectionality, and it’s important not to overlook how social issues are connected, but trying to mitigate all of the abuses happening in the country right now as an individual is not possible.
– don’t tune out, but control your stream of information. limit your time online, especially if your feed is highly political. vet your news sources. you should not expect to feel normal when reading about the current administration, but avoiding all-out panic and despair is important. believing things are hopeless is self-fulfilling.
– easier said than done, but try to avoid in-fighting. trump-supporting american conservatives (more appropriately, regressives) present a far more united front than those who oppose them. this isn’t to say we should abandon controversial issues, but to focus our efforts on the greatest existing threat and not each other.
when i say i’m from ukraine, people assume i live somewhere else now. when i say i live in ukraine, they assume i’m somehow immune to war, and there’s a logical division between a ukrainian they chat with on discord and a ukrainian on the news. bitches my yaoi is written from the bomb shelter
Just an ordinary day in Ukraine. You live on the very edge of being killed at any moment.
I wanna all of you to know that majority of my MM fic is written during night air attacks. Russia attacks Ukraine basicly every night with drones nowadays, so you end up filling time of sitting in shelter with something, uncluding writting.
In the future, I really wanna read about the fact how (fucking disgraceful) russian invasion on ukraine expanded ukraine literature
Humans continue to human in the most hellish of circumstances, and by “human” I don’t mean “do bad things,” I mean, “tell stories.”
being on tumblr is like being in a car in a parking lot
like it’s technically public, but you’re also sorta in your own little bubble, and people have to be Actively trying to listen in order to hear you, if they’re even aware that you’re speaking at all. and then sometimes you accidentally bonk the horn with ur elbow and suddenly the whole parking lot knows you’re a virgin
bestie I appreciate the enthusiasm but this post doesn’t even have 50 notes yet lol. lil’ early for that.
Must a post have lots of notes to have 10k to me? This may never reach so many people but it reached me and I laughed.
i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said “your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising” one of the tags responding said “this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome” like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.
There’s a disconnect happening here because the primary function of social media for most casual users is to form a circle of friends around the usual things that friendships are built on: shared interests and lifestyles and ideas of what is important and what is unacceptable. When people are mainly doing leftism on social media, this encourages thinking of leftism as centered around establishing high-minded social clubs.
For anyone who still isn’t getting it from someone who helps people IRL: There’s a difference between whom you’re helping to feed at the mealshare and whom you’re choosing to hang out with for fun after the mealshare. You don’t have to invite a hungry person with opinions you don’t like to play board games with you, but you do have to help keep them from starving if you’re serious about leftist organizing.
