Shit Isnt Working Out

Hi my name's Caroline! 20/Vienna

“Are you gonna let politics ruin a friendship?”

Yes tf I am

[litany-of-excuses-deactivated20]

People talk about politics as if it’s this isolated, abstract concept that only matters at election time. Somebody’s politics is their world view. It’s whether they think certain human beings deserve rights. It’s how they think the world should be. And if somebody thinks that the world should be colder, meaner, less accepting and downright hostile to people that are different to them, then sure as fuck is the friendship over.

THIS. This is why people need to stop telling me I’m “overreacting” when I want to cut people out after this election.

[cumaeansibyl]

I believe very strongly in “I didn’t say it was good, I said I liked it” 

but what might be even more important is “I didn’t say it was bad, I said I hated it”

[cumaeansibyl]

I just wanna say if you hate something good because it sends terrible messages that’s fine but you can also just hate it because you hate it. free yourself of the struggle to find a “good enough” reason. sometimes it doesn’t hit right.

“I hate this author’s writing style”

is not the same as

“this author is bad at writing”

What they’re furious about is how the other staffers will see that it can be done and possibly revolt against the unfair pay they’re getting or just up and leave.

Which they should.  Staffers should revolt or leave, and underpaying congresspeople should be fucking scared.

They’re pocketing the money that they could be using to pay those staffers a decent wage, but damn, they want that fifth car and extra 20th vacation to cheat at golf and fuck kids in Thailand or some shit. 

It’s not about the principle, it’s about demonstrating that it can be done, successfully, and the idea spreading to us little people that we can rise up and take back what is already rightfully ours anyway.  Vive la revolution!  Madame Guillotine is thirsty for the blood of liars and pigs.

[spacefaring-kissboi]

I can’t get over what a righteous line “madame guillotine is thirsty for the blood of liars and pigs” is.

Was anyone gonna tell me Vincent Martella, voice of Phineas Flynn on the Disney Channel original show Phineas and Ferb is on some absolute king shit on his twitter or did i just have to see this amazing series of tweets myself?

There’s more just go fucking look yourself

It’s been a week and we still don’t have a syllabus and I’m not entirely convinced my science prof has any clue what’s going on

[moghedien]

It’s like when making Hocus Pocus they told Bette Midler “this is camp just do whatever the fuck you want,” they told Sarah Jessica Parker that she could either drop acid or do a line of coke before every take but she had to do one, they told Kathy Najimy that her character is just an evil golden retriever, and then they told all the actors playing the kids that this was a very serious horror movie and if they didnt take all of this seriously they’d be in trouble

Me as a parent

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

So I was once actually collecting data in a frozen river, and another guy fell in, filled up his waders and everything. He was wearing cotton (we were floored), and I had the car keys so I was like “alright, I’ll walk you back to the car to make sure you’re okay. Then you can strip down in there and get the heat going. There’s a blanket to wrap up in.” And he looked at me like I was insane. He said, “what? I’m fine.” I informed him that actually, if he stayed outside in subzero temperatures, soaking wet, in cotton, he was Licherly going to Freeze To Death, and he was like, “it’s not the 1800s lmao.”

And then while the guy in charge Forced him to go back to the car and strip, I had to stand there in a frozen river absolutely bewildered by the implication that a Wildife Biologist thought hypothermia is like, an old timey disease that people stopped getting at some point.

WHAT DOES HE KNOW THAT WE DONT

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

Vampire spending his current life as a wildlife biologist almost blows his cover when he forgets that humans often perish from Cold and Wet Syndrome.

[wolfnanaki]

So one of my tweets kinda blew up. :v

[carpenter-synth]

“They’re bad! Hurt them!” will always be an easier sell then “this is a complicated system and you need to understand it to know what measures you can safely take”.

Not to everyone, but often enough.

And yes, I do mean that this is applicable to politics as a whole. Look how hard a sell social safety nets and medical care and human rights and … not hurting people is.

You live in a world where pictures are always in color until the person photographed dies. While looking through your grandparents’ closet, you find a picture dated back to 1826. The picture hasn’t faded to black and white.
