kind of obsessed with the characterization of jayce and viktor as fundamentally good people who will also go absolutely batshit insane if you separate them because theyre also ridiculously codependent to a degree that is concerning for everybody else's wellbeing. they were literally away from each other for a couple of months and almost ended the entire world
This is one of the funniest holiday cards I have ever seen.
this has been in my queue for an entire year
happy holidays all. I won’t be silent about what i saw today, December 8 at 10:06am on I-74 West.
Hi, I was born out of nowhere in Gaza and I'm trying to connect with people who will help me get my story out on Tumblr.🍉
I am engineer Walid Al-Qatrawi. I am 34 years old. Father to Adam, Hala, and Nay. I have lived in the Gaza Strip since I was born.
My wife and I are also eagerly awaiting the arrival of our daughter, but due to the harsh realities of war in our area, we are facing severe financial difficulties.
As the due date approaches, we find ourselves struggling to cover the costs of a cesarean section, as well as my wife’s basic medical and health needs. With no income and the enormous challenges we face daily, we are reaching out to our community for support. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in helping us welcome our daughter into the world safely.

Hello lm hamdi ,I humbly ask for your support by reblogging this post on your account to help me and my family. As newcomers to Tumblr and GoFundMe, we are in desperate need of your kindness and support. 🙏🇵🇸🍉😔Please donate 🙏🏼Let's reach the goal as soon as possible .
.
I hope this guy fucking dies because
A) he's Mr Beast
B) he has WAY too much money if he's renting out the PYRAMIDS OF GIZA????
C) renting out actual historical landmarks that have already been desecrated and destroyed over thousands of years for a goddamn youtube video is actually disgusting.
idk if you think that they're "just the pyramids", they're the ONLY remaining wonder of the ancient world!!! Not to mention!! they're TOMBS!! sure, the people who were inside are long gone, but like?? idk, maybe i'm oversely sensitive, but being a white dude and desecrating an ancient burial site (for profit) and thus disregarding thousands upon thousands of years of history and culture is probably Up There with the scummy stuff this jackass has done
‼️‼️Please Don't Skip Me‼️‼️
Dear humanity,
I'm Amal, a mother of three children, living under the weight of the genocide taking place in Gaza. 🍉
The Israeli occupation forces launched drone strikes on my husband, Fayez, and my son, Mohammad.
Although my husband's condition has stabilized, my son is still suffering immensely and urgently needs medical treatment outside Gaza.
I lost most of my family. I'm afraid to lose my son too 🥺 .
I need your help please donate and share, evry contribution, no matter how small, brings us hope in these dark times.
Mohammed deserves to live a happy and healthy life, just like every other child on this earth.
So I humbly ask you to donate even a little or at least reblog this appeal.
Please Donate now:👇

PUNK PSA:
(Maybe) don’t put anything too political on your back patches— especially about your own marginalized experiences.
This has been a long standing rule in punk communities, passed down for generations. People do get jumped and experience violence as a result of this. You can’t see who is behind you, you can’t tell if they’re far right, and you can’t prepare yourself for sudden violence from behind.
So many people are new to the scene, introduced via social media, and don’t know the weight of walking with something on your back (literally and metaphorically) that immediately outs you as marginalized. If you’re able to defend yourself, or out with friends who can watch your back, by all means go for it and wear whatever you want on your back patches but if you walk alone at all ever, please be safe.
Also this is why punks wear spikes and studs on our shoulders especially. Makes it harder for someone to grab you and works as self defense (but also never wear spikes at a small show or if you plan to mosh— people can get hurt!).
Wear whatever you want, just want people to know what you’re signing up for if you do choose to.
i never understood what made steampunk punk. romanticizing georgian era england and industrial revolutions are some of the least punk things ever. youre putting gears on a top hat
i genuinely believe that you can directly blame steampunk directly cribbing from cyberpunk for the fact that solarpunk is an aesthetic and not an ideology. the roots of considering a civilization for its trappings and appearance rather than what it does goes back to that. cyberpunk was punk* because of the stories it told** not because of its aesthetics***
*extremely debatable depending on which punk you ask.
**objectively debatable depending on the game and system
***cyberpunk as a modern franchise not a genre is absolutely a prioritization of aesthetics over punk ideology. you cannot be punk if youre a fuckin franchise of a corporation idk i feel like this should be obvious
Hi hello, Steampunk here: the 19th century was punk as fuck actually, and the active steampunk scene in 2005-2010 was very much aware of and into it. You're citing the Spirit Halloween version.
Way back in November 2013 I made a post about the aestheticization of the subculture that STILL stands:
Steampunk: VICTORIAN LONDON VICTORIAN LONDON TOP HATS CORSETS ARISTOCRACY GLORIOUS BRITISH EMPIRE AIRSHIP PIRATES RAY GUNS APOCALYPSE APOCALYPSE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!
Me: …Industrialization, colonialism, imperialism, exploitation of the working class and oppression of POC culminating in violent socialist revolution because fuck yeah the working class and don’t you dare forget it?
Steampunk: ::crickets::
[Steampunk]: THE GREAT GAME COGS GEARS VAMPIRES BUSTLES EXOSKELETON GOGGLES ANGLOPHILIA SUPER CREEPY OBSESSION WITH ORIENTALISM INCLUDING CLOCKWORK GEISHAS MANOR HOUSES TEA!
Me: ::sigh::
^ you are doing exactly this.
The punk ethos is primarily made up of beliefs such as non-conformity, anti-authoritarianism, anti-corporatism, a do-it-yourself ethic, anti-consumerist, anti-corporate greed, direct action, and not "selling out". That is what 'punk' means, in terms of subculture.
When steampunk arose as a subculture, out of Goth mind you, it was entirely a DIY and small business scene.
What steampunk music, fiction, craft groups, or meetups have you been to? Steampunk is, like cyberpunk, about the stories it told/is telling. Often stories of revolution (often violent), the overthrowing of governments and toppling of monarchies, civil rights movements (emancipation from chattel slavery! Indian wars! Rising against colonial powers!), the dawn of first wave feminism and women's suffrage, the original source of communist and socialist thought, workers' rights movements, the fucking enlightenment...
What is more punk than The Communist Manifesto(1848)
What is more punk than The Battle of Greasy Grass(1876)
Who's a more OG Punk than John Brown?
Steampunk literally music and fiction set in and about the Age of Revolution.
Judging Steampunk as a subculture by the part that was heavily commercialized is like judging all of Goth and a subculture by Hot Topic (which is not punk rock).
Go read China Mieville's Bas Lag cycle.
Go read Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve
Go read Boneshaker by Cherie Priest
Go read Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld (crossover with dieselpunk and biopunk!)
Go read Steeplejack by AJ Hartley
Go listen to some The Cog is Dead and some Abney Park and some Rasputina and some Steam Powered Giraffe and, hey, let me link Painless Parker one more time. You will note that that recording is from Occupy Wallstreet.
Also keep in mind that labor/union songs are wildly popular steampunk standards; you will hear Solidarity Forever and other songs from The Little Red Songbook at steampunk song circles. You will hear marching band and orchestral covers of The Sex Pistols' God Save The Queen and The Clash's London Calling. You'll hear songs from Chumbawumba's album English Rebel Songs 1381-1984.
I'm gonna linkspam a bunch of my older writings on this:

Some of you already know Monique Poirier, either from her Beyond Victoriana essay , or from Tumblr , or you know her from cons and stuff. S
Other steampunks of my followers, please reblog with more recommendations about Steampunk stuff that's actually PUNK.
@sapphoandvanzetti , would love to hear you chime in.
Well shit yknow what I retract my statements because I had no idea about any of this! And the fact that the Spirit Halloween version was the only one I'd heard about is actually insulting with how cool a lot of this stuff sounds! Thank you for spending the time to drop all this, it's really appreciated!
❤️ Glad to offer educational resources!
And in defense of cyberpunk and solarpunk? If the only exposure you have to cyberpunk (or *punk in general) is mainstream AAA games and movies, yeah you're going to miss the punk themes. Look at the stories that solidified the genre, like Neuromancer by William Gibson.
Solarpunk isn't as well known, so for better or worse it hasn't suffered the same commercialization cyberpunk has, but if you want a good look at what that can be, Sunvault: Stories of Solarpunk and Eco-Speculation is an anthology of solarpunk stories that I'm reading right now that does a good job of touching on the breadth of what solarpunk is in terms of rebellion.

hey, if you're punk like i am, please do not put your "political" patches on the back of your vest or on your backpack. remember this phrase ;; you cannot watch your six like you can your 12. i've seen so many posts from baby punks putting their shit into one big collage on their backs, it's concerning.
nazis WILL take cheap shots at you, especially when you're not looking. do not let them.
Y’all, my little nephew, who’s nickname is “Cabbage,” wanted a “punk jacket,” like Uncle Kade’s. (EMPHASIS ON LITTLE, be nice)
So, I asked him what kind of patches he wanted on it, and this is what we came up with. Just need to sew the patches down and line the vest. I can’t wait to finish it and send it to him.
iconic actually. You go lil guy
My niece (who just turned 9) is getting a kpop themed jacket from me for christmas!! (Kpop is her favorite thing in the world)
This makes me happy bc I was worried if I posted about it ppl would be weird about it.
(There will also be Pokémon and other such patches.)
#i saw someone litter the other day and i was flabbergasted#i didn’t know people actually genuinely just. did that
Sorry if this is a sarcastic post I’m not good at reading tone. I hate this stuff too! It always reminds me of this song about fake revolutionaries from this awesome punk guy called Atom and his package. I’m sharing the song and the lyrics because their lyrics are kind of hard to understand in the video. Every single time I go to a show when I see a punk in designer ultra expensive punk clothes I always think of this song. Anytime I see someone who dresses as a punk and treats everyone else like shit, I always think of this song.
I got a patch. I got a pin
Obtained political beliefs from the same songs as my friends
I got a five finger discount to the little record store
Its easier to get the stuff I want out
And if you want fair compensation for the work that you do
Well then you're greedy (yeah!)
We have amazing names to call you
Ever think that theres a difference who you're stealing from?
So, fine, I'm not punk and you are (a moron)
[Chorus]
We're gonna tear this stupid city down
Throw our trash, our tra-tra-trash on the ground
Liberate that bottle of malt liquor!
Oh, I get it. Anarchy means that you litter
We're gonna tear this stupid city down
Throw our trash, our tra-tra-trash on the ground
Liberate that bottle of malt liquor!
Oh, I get it. Anarchy means that you litter.
So, if you're flying the flag, and you're naming the name, then you're setting back the ones who know how to behave
It's a good thing this repleneshes itself
Because who would be left to take advantage of your "help"?
[Chorus]
We're gonna tear this stupid city down
Throw our trash, our tra-tra-trash on the ground
Liberate that bottle of malt liquor!
Oh, I get it. Anarchy means that you litter
We're gonna tear this stupid city down
Throw our trash, our tra-tra-trash on the ground
Liberate that bottle of malt liquor!
Oh, I get it. Anarchy means that you litter
Gonna drop our trash on you
We're gonna tear this stupid city down
Throw our trash, our tra-tra-trash on the ground
Liberate that bottle of malt liquor!
Oh, I get it. Anarchy means that you litter
We're gonna tear this stupid city down
And we'll Whine Whine Whine when no bands come to town
Liberate that bottle of malt liquor
Oh, I get it. Anarchy means that you litter (nice!)
