The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.
I’d just like to point out that every single thing that has happened in the 6 years since I created this post has only reinscribed its absolute moral correctness in my mind.
writing dialogue? easy.
describing where everyone’s standing during that dialogue and adding action tags? impossible.
Don't call me out like this.

What exactly are you presenting me with, OP? 🤔

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE
They say the Goddess chooses her most devout believer to be her champion in times of crisis. Due to your past, you've hated that loathsome Goddess more than anyone in the nation. As it turns out, that also counts as believing in her more than anyone in the nation.
Sassy Dialogue
Part I
"Oh honey, if I wanted your opinion, I'd have rolled my eyes louder."
"Did you come here to be annoying or is that just a happy accident?"
"Please, your drama is exhausting and I only have one espresso left in me."
"It's cute that you would think that I'd care about what you have to say."
"I don't have time for this. My lip gloss is already drying."
"You talk a lot for someone with nothing to say."
"Congratulations! You just lost the argument and the plot."
"Is that confidence or just a delusion with a good contour?"
"You really committed to being wrong. That's dedication!"
"You say that like it's supposed to hurt my feelings. Cute."
"No, I'm not mad. I'm just trying to figure out how someone can be that wrong and still be alive."
"Wow. That was almost a valid point. Almost."
"If ignorance is bliss, you must be thriving."
"I've seen salad with more bite than that insult."
"You're not mysterious. You're just hard to tolerate."

non-writers will never understand the mental illness of writing an entire conversation in your head while doing dishes and then forgetting every word the second you open a blank doc
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

Hey, married women: Go apply for your passport.
The SAVE Act has passed in The House. It makes it illegal for a woman whose last name does not match her birth name to vote as a "citizenship verification measure." The main way around it is being able to present your passport at the polls since that proves your citizenship.
Look up your Senators here and raise hell on their phone lines about this blatant attempt to disenfranchise millions of women:
https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member
wow this is an extremely blatant voter suppression bill. it makes extreme modifications to the motor voter act to make it significantly harder to register to vote for everyone, not just women. it's so patriotic that it even disenfranchises military personnel!
here's a summary of house rep morelle's (NY-D) comments from the hearing on july 10, 2024 when this passed the house. this bill would:
prevent most americans from registering to vote using only a driver's license, including REAL ID-compliant licenses
require additional documentation beyond standard photo IDs to prove citizenship
only accept passports as standalone proof of citizenship, which only 48% of americans have (nice middle finger to the 130 million citizens who don't have one)
prevent military personnel from using military IDs alone, requiring they also provide records showing US birthplace. new registrants deployed overseas will be unable to register due to in-person requirements
prevent native americans' tribal IDs from being accepted unless they show place of birth in the US, which most don't
screw over married women as described by OP
and for what? what great threats are there to the Integrity and Security of our federal elections that inspire this bill? let's hear it from rep steil (WI-R) in his opening remarks:
First, I point you to a 1996 congressional race in California where an investigation by this body revealed that 624 noncitizens voted in that congressional election. I also point you to a race less than 4 years ago where our colleague from Iowa won by six votes.
ohhh shit. ohhh FUCK! yeah we definitely need to disenfranchise millions of people over this.
see which fuckers voted "yes" in voter role call 345. all republicans voted yes, 5 democrats voted yes, and 10 democrats didn't vote.
follow the bill's progress on congress.gov under HR 8281
as OP mentioned, find your senators and raise hell
And if you're a woman and planning to get married, DON'T CHANGE YOUR NAME. Unless you've been desperately longing to get rid of your name your whole life, or your husband's name is absolutely perfect, don't change it. You could be socially known as Mrs. Hisname but legally still be Yourfirstname Yourlastname, and tricks like this won't catch you. And best of all? The amount of work it takes to accomplish this is none. Zero. Negative work. You do absolutely nada and your name doesn't change.
Your children can still carry his name if you want
People at school will most often call you "Childname's Parent" rather than "Mrs. Childlastname" anyway
Your credit cards and drivers license and all the other pieces of your identity don't have to be replaced
The only issue you'll ever encounter is that once in a while to get a married couple discount at a gym or something maybe you'll need to present your marriage certificate, so don't lose it
Your mother in law does not need to know what your legal name is if you're going by his last name socially
Your work email address won't change
I mean, I kinda wonder why any woman with ADHD ever would change her name anyway, seems like a giant pain in the ass.
As you know, because you are on Tumblr and therefore you know some trans people, it is quite possible to socially go by one name and legally go by another. In fact if you know anyone with a nickname, you know this fact. Well, it works for last names too.
(If you don't want to be known socially by his last name either... more power to you, sister! There need to be more of us that just never changed our fucking names at all. But if you do want to take his name... don't take it legally. The US government currently is run by people who think Handmaid's Tale didn't go far enough. Protect yourself.)
All that. Thanks to everyone who has time to do deeper dives on legislation than I do at the moment. ❤️
ugh.
This is a plan to disenfranchise millions and rig elections. Call your representatives NOW whether they are democrats or republicans and tell them you want them to do everything in their power to STOP this bill.
And then get out and protest. Don't have a protest near you? Organize one. If you have contacts with unions, civil rights organizations or advocacy groups work with them to try to get the word out about protests and get more people involved.
The Fascists are coming for your votes and your rights. This is not a drill. Stand up.
Republicans in Congress have introduced the extreme anti-voter Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (H.R. 22/S.128 and declared i

Always get the itemized list, babes. ALWAYS.
Not just for medical either. Ever got smacked with a huge ass fee for "damages" when you move out of an apartment that not just eats your security deposit but tries to take an arm and a leg as well.
Ask for the itemized list, you will be surprised how fast they come back with a "huh, that's weird, I can't seem to find where these damages are coming from" and let that shit go.
People WILL try to screw you on all kinds of routine and mundane shit. Don't let them.
REBLOG TO SAVE SOMEONE FROM OUR BULLSHIT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
"oh you have an allergy? sorry I harassed you for being a picky eater, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. it's good to know you're not actually a picky eater, I still get to harass those people"
"oh you have chronic pain? sorry I harassed you for being lazy, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. it's good to know you're not actually a lazy person, I still get to harass those people"
"oh you're autistic? sorry I harassed you for being weird, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. it's good to know you're not actually a weird person, I still get to harass those people"
"oh you're deaf? sorry I harassed you for ignoring me, I didn't realize you had a valid reason. you're just not actually a rude person, I still get to harass those people"
"man why does everything have to be a disorder now? I miss the old days when people would TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for being failures and it was socially exceptable for me to harass them, now I look like a jerk when I bully people for annoying me."
My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”
I searched and searched for the post this graphic was from, and the OP deactivated, but I kept the graphic, because my BFF does the same thing, uses her imagination to come up with the worst pain she can imagine and pegs her “10″ there, and so is like, well, I’m conscious, so this must be a 5, and then the doctors don’t take her seriously. (And she then does things like driving herself to the hospital while in the process of giving birth. Probably should have called an ambulance for that one!)
So I found this and sent it to her. Because this is what they want to know: how badly is this pain affecting you? Not on a scale of “nothing” to “how I’d imagine it’d feel if bears were eating my still-living guts while I was on fire”.
I hate reposting stuff, but I’ll never find that post again and OP is deactivated, so, here’s a repost. I can delete this later, i just wanted to get it to you and I can’t embed images in a chat or an ask.
This is possibly why it took several weeks to diagnose my fractured spine.
Pain Scale transcription:
10 - I am in bed and I can’t move due to my pain. I need someone to take me to the emergency room because of my pain.
9 - My pain is all that I can think about. I can barely move or talk because of my pain.
8 - My pain is so severe that it is difficult to think of anything else. Talking and listening are difficult.
7 - I am in pain all the time. It keeps me from doing most activities.
6 - I think about my pain all of the time. I give up many activities because of my pain.
5 - I think about my pain most of the time. I cannot do some of the activities I need to do each day because of the pain.
4 - I am constantly aware of my pain but can continue most activities.
3 - My pain bothers me but I can ignore it most of the time.
2 - I have a low level of pain. I am aware of my pain only when I pay attention to it.
1 - My pain is hardly noticeable.
0 - I have no pain.
It’s also really important to get this kind of scale to people who have chronic pain, because chronic pain drastically lowers your perception of how “bad” any kind of pain actually is, and yet something like this pain scale is extremely user friendly.
For example, if someone asked me how much pain I’m in at any given time, I’d say hardly any, and yet I’m apparently at a chronic 2.5, and it only goes up from there depending on the day.
There’s also a similarly useful “Fatigue Scale”
I haven’t been below a 5 on this scale for 4 years
Here’s the fatigue scale
Fatigue scale image desc:
10: can barely move; can’t talk
9: can barely move; can talk
8: can move, but can’t do much more than watch TV
7: can watch TV and play a game on my phone simultaneously
6: can do work on my computer lying in bed
5: can get around the house, but definitely couldn’t go out
4: can run a light errand
3: can get in my 10,000 steps, making my fitbit happy
2: can do three or more activities in a single day
1: going clubbing!
See also the Mental Health Pain Scale by Graceful Patient:
Mental Health Pain Scale transcription:
MILD
1 - Everything is a-okay! There is absolutely nothing wrong. You’re probably cuddling a fluffy kitten right now. Enjoy!
2 - You’re a bit frustrated or disappointed, but you’re easily distracted and cheered up with a little effort.
3 - Things are bothering you, but you’re coping. You might be overtired or hungry. The emotional equivalent of a headache.
MODERATE
4 - Today is a bad day (or a few bad days). You still have the skills to get through it, but be gentle with yourself. Use self-care strategies.
5 - Your mental health is starting to impact on your everyday life. Easy things are becoming difficult. You should talk to your doctor.
6 - You can’t do things the way you usually do them due to your mental health. Impulsive and compulsive thoughts may be hard to cope with.
SEVERE
7 - You’re avoiding things that make you more distressed, but that will make it worse. You should definitely seek help. This is serious.
8 - You can’t hide your struggles any more. You may have issues sleeping, eating, having fun, socialising, and work/study. Your mental health is affecting almost all parts of your life.
9 - You’re at a critical point. You aren’t functioning any more. You need urgent help. You may be a risk to yourself or others if left untreated.
10 - The worst mental and emotional distress possible. You can no longer care for yourself. You can’t imagine things getting any worse. Contact a crisis line immediately.
These are so important! SO SO IMPORTANT SHARE THIS AND SAVE IT TO SHOW YOUR DOCTORS!
This is the first time I’ve seen the fatigue scale, and HOLY MOLY that’s a revelation!!! These should be on all hospital and doctor office walls.
I’ve never seen the mental health one! or the fatigue one! I printed out the pain one and gave it to my GP.
I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.
They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.
So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"
I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.
6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"
Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"
People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we're lucky, it won't get really bad. But it's going to get worse than it is now.
Happy Pride
