I’m trying to save all my fave porn.
I can’t, because there’s so much.
I just spent my entire day today saving reapersun’s art. Only reapersun’s. A day.
I shouldn’t, but this purge thing, it makes me feel so bad. So lost.
tumblr was my sole source of porn since I don’t like live porn. Pornographical comics were always my fave. Because it’s never just porn, they’re porn stories. I like the porn and I like the stories. And they’re art.
What am i going to do now?
some memes I made to express my current frustrations with academia feel free to add your own
how to know if tumblr has been eating your asks: send yourself anywhere between 5-10 asks, ( anon or not ) but have each ask be nothing but an order in which you sent them.
i.e: the first ask says ‘1′, the second says ‘2′, etc etc.
i sent myself ten of these, both on anon and not. This was all i received back:
Tumblr is now eating asks along with notifications. We must be more interactive than ever if we want keep this form of entertainment we call the rpc. Go ahead and warn your friends or test this for yourselves.. This post is reblogable.
I just sent myself five of these. none of them came through.
I just did this myself last night and out of the ten ask I sent myself only one came through.
Please know if I’m not responding to you, your ask, or your messages, I am not willingly ignoring you. I am however doing my best to try and stay in contact with everyone.
sorry to everyone who tagged me or sent me an ask. If I didn’t react to it, tumblr didn’t show me.
I did this and several hours later I still haven’t received even one of the five asks I sent myself. If you sent me an ask and I didn’t respond, I am not ignoring you. I never got it!
I’m going to bring t-pose sheen into the real world

men are allowed to be so mediocre it’s insulting on the deepest level
Would you unfollow me if I reblogged this every single day? That is how often I think it.
Mediocre men get to make mediocre movies and write mediocre books about other mediocre men, but if a woman steps outside a door in a sweater and some plain jeans, she “let her self go”, “isnt even trying anymore!”
if a man creates something mediocre it’s just “a bad book” or “a bad movie”.. if a man is a bad leader he’s just, well, “a bad leader”
if a woman creates something mediocre, or if a woman’s a bad leader it becomes about how “all women are bad at _____,” or about how “no woman is a natural leader”
and that’s a really disheartening fact to all women. men are always allowed to be a work in progress. women always have to be the flawless finished product.
men are always allowed to be a work in progress. women always have to be the flawless finished product.

Trump won't stop tearing up official papers so the White House archives employ a staff to tape them back together for the National Archives
Trump is notorious for his “filing system”: when he is finished with a piece of paper, he tears it into tiny pieces and throws it away, which is fine if you’re a CEO (maybe), but is radioactively illegal under the Presidential Records Act, because the President works for the public, and is required by law to archive their official papers and save them for public scrutiny.
White House staffers gave up on trying to explain this to Trump, who just kept on tearing up everything, from official letters from Senators to letters from constituents to notes and other paperwork.
The staffers – paid nearly $70,000 year – ended up with full-time jobs retrieving scraps of paper from Trump’s trash-can and piecing them back together with clear tape so they can be filed in the National Archives. Some of these staffers were eventually fired; they’ve spoken to Politico about their year in the Trump administration as paper-tapers.

i thought this was satire considering the topic and the site is called boing boing but no Politico also covered this. this is real.

IMAGINE IMPEACHING A PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE CANT STOP DOING SOMETHING I TRAINED MY PUPPY TO STOP IN 2 WEEKS.
Woooooow
why are straight white guys so obsessed with world war 2
like i’ll talk about my interest in history and i’ll have guys be like “yeah i’m a history buff too i love world war 1 and 2″ like cool i was talking about ancient history. like the conversation was literally about ancient egypt.
my fave thing is replying “oh, cool. i just can’t get into it. i like everyday life and religion and art. personally, i find war boring.” and let me tell you it’s a journey to watch them try and understand that killing thousands of people indiscriminately doesn’t hold my attention.
yup it’s always the “oh you’re just not into history” and the response of “yes i am im just into ancient history” and you’re ready to throw 38 greek myths at them just to shut them up about the kinds of bombers the britsh were using in the second world war
except like. they really dont give a single fuck about wwi/ii. they care about the weapons and machinery. do they care about the events and the people? do they care about why wars were actually important? in my experience, very, very rarely.
I think that gets to heart of it: they’re not history buffs in any real sense. What they are is war fanboys. They collect and curate technical information about wars just like any other fanboy collects and curates technical information about the subject of their fandom. It’s basically not real to them; knowing what exact metal the buttons of SS uniforms were made of is of no greater significance to them than knowing the exact height of the captain’s chair on the starship Enterprise - it’s just another shiny technical fact for their collection.
Sit in the mud and do a little scream. There’s nothing wrong with that
dare i say that stuffed animals are one of the single greatest inventions of all time and im thankful every day for the fact that someone thought to make animals but in huggable plush form…..saved me from a lot of bad nights and nightmares as a kid, i love you stuffed animals
I hope one day that history looks back on ronald reagan as one of the 20th century’s most vile and disgusting serial killers
may i ask why
Remember when like 6 Americans had ebola and it was an international emergency, and Obama flew out to meet survivors? Here is a list of things the United States government did in response: -Increasing the number of Ebola testing labs throughout the U.S. that can quickly and safely screen a potential Ebola specimen -Educating more than 150,000 health care workers on how to identify, isolate, diagnose, and care for patients under investigation for Ebola -Developing countermeasures — including the first Ebola vaccine to progress to Phase 2 testing — to prevent and treat Ebola -Converting at least 10 of the Ebola Treatment Centers into long-term Regional Ebola and Pandemic Treatment Centers for long-term readiness for years to come -Helping state and local public health systems accelerate and improve their operational readiness and preparedness for Ebola or other infectious diseases Source: https://whitehouse.gov/ebola-response
When the Reagan administration was faced with tens of thousands of gay men dying, they did nothing. They made jokes. They laughed. They caused an epidemic that killed 40 million people, because they hated gay men and thought we deserved to die.
There is so much more to it. There is a myth perpetuated by Reaganites that he was an historically significant President, in some positive sense. If you are old enough to have voted in 1980, you probably know differently. If you were born after 1980 you have been raised on this myth. He sold Americans a fable about a Hollywood movie-like exceptional past and destiny, and led ordinary people around with portrayals of that mirage while his reactionary robber-baron friends set about dismantling 50 years of progressive advancements for working men and women, on their way to returning themselves to the position of unfettered economic domination they held between the Civil War and the Great Depression. He was a union buster. He gave us Scalia – need I say more? He tried to give us Robert Bork (does anyone under 30 even know who he is?). He lied about Iran/Contra. He avoided dealing with AIDS. He sealed the political sham-show between right wing capitalist kings and the evangelical thought-control snake-oil salesmen. Americans don’t want to hear that they are ordinary citizens of the world, and they don’t want to hear that the aren’t anointed by some deity to lead the world to salvation. They lapped it up, and they continue to do so.
I have to wonder how the response of a more competent presidency to the AIDS crisis might have changed even the global impact of the disease. Where might we be today? How many millions of people would be alive and not suffering? Yes, Reagan was historically significant—for fucking things up in a globally devastating way.
When you hear how he slashed Income taxes, he did on the Wealthy, but he increased the lowest tax rate from 10% to 15%.
His campaign was funded by Christian radicals, whose entire goal was to dismantle Roe vs. Wade and see American women relegated once more to back alleys and dirty knives. He opened the door to religion in politics in a way the postwar McCarthyists never dreamed possible. Now, 36 years after his election, maybe a third of American medical schools offer proper access to even first-trimester abortion training (in an era where that should mean a pill or vaginal suppository), and there are currently fewer doctors trained to perform late stage abortions for the entire US than there were pre-RvW (when such operations were only performed as a heroic measure).
And no one has even touched on his legacy of racial hatred, deliberate destruction of black communities and establishing of COONTELPRO to destroy the lives of black panthers and black activists, his actual murder of black activists and more. He was actually a demon.
If you want to know how many lives could have been saved if the Reagan government had just fucking BUDGETED for AIDS research instead of telling AIDS researchers that they had to beg, borrow or steal any money for AIDS from other programs–then read And The Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic, 20th-Anniversary Edition by Randy Shilts. And be prepared to have your heart broken at the unadulterated and wildly irresponsible waste.of time and human lives.
Other shitty things Reagan did:
1) He almost tripled the National Debt. And you need to see the difference with zeroes:
When Reagan took office in 1980: $909,100,000 owed.(909.1 billion)
When Reagan left office in 1988: $2,601,300,000,000 owed. (2.6 trillion)
2) He raised taxes on the middle class and the poor ELEVEN TIMES while in office.
3) Unemployment soared after Reagan passed his tax cuts for the rich, and it took decades to get back down again.
4) He turned the U.S. into an illegal weapons dealer.
5) He funded terrorists, helping create the Taliban and Osama bin Laden. From NewsOne:
After Ronald Reagan was elected in 1981, U.S. funding of the mujahideen increased significantly and CIA Paramilitary Officers played a big role in training, arming and sometimes even leading mujahideen forces.
The CIA trained the mujahideen in many of the tactics Al Qaeda is known for today, such as car bombs, assassinations and other acts that would be considered terrorism today.
6) When his economic policies began wreaking havoc on the government, Reagan stole from Social Security–to the tune of 2.5 TRILLION–treating it for eight years as the private slush fund of himself and his rich friends.
7) [T]he Reagan administration demonized opponents of apartheid, most notably the African National Congress, as dangerous and pro-communist. Reagan even vetoed a bill to impose sanctions on South Africa, only to be overruled by Congress.
They called him the Teflon president for a reason. All this shit–and none of it stuck to him. He got away clean every single time.
Reading up on Nelson Mandela I caught wind of that fact a few years back. The standing President of the US was more than a little ok with not condemning Apartheid even as a symbolic gesture.
That coupled with all of this and it speaks to an impossibly gross legacy. Of course the Neocons of the Republican set look at him as some sort of Conservative Jesus, so none of this would get actual traction with them.But email scandals are beyond the pale…
OH HELLS YES ANTI-REAGAN MASTERPOST Also let’s not forget about how he created and/or dramatically enhanced the homeless problem in America by closing the California state psychiatric hospitals (except for the ones for the criminally insane) and tossing all the residents out into the street.
My great grandma literally wrote about she wished she could have assassinated reagan as she was laying on her death bed and had a copy of that letter sent to every member of our family.
Not to mention that because he drastically expanded the drug war, setting the stage for zero tolerance. Mass incarcerations increased from 50,000 in 1980 to over 400,000 in 1997. These policies also blocked syringe programs, which actually made HIV/AIDS much, much worse.
His deregulation of the S&L industry meant they no longer had to rely on residential mortgages for funding. Commercial real estate speculation ensued (sound familiar???) which eventually led to corruption, collapse of hundreds of thrift institutions and, you guessed it, a hundreds of billions of dollars taxpayer bailout.
Under his administration, nothing was done about racial discrimination in lending. Blatant redlining continued, and even though it was at this point illegal, nothing was done to prosecute or sanction banks.
Can we talk about how he started and perpetuated the myth of the welfare queen–the indolent black woman with an entitlement problem–which still affects the program and how people view it today. He used this rhetoric to get elected and used it to justify drastic cuts to urban funding, affecting everything from urban infastructure, to salaries, to urban schools and hospitals and clinics.
His cuts to low-income housing subsidies raised homeless from 600,000 to over 1.2 million in one year. Even the idea that homelessness is a choice stems from him.
But you know, he told Gorbechev to tear down this wall, so he’s a hero, right?
The deification of Reagan is one of the most damaging things the GOP has ever done. In a just world, he would be remembered as one of the worst Presidents, as one of the worst humans who ever ascended to the Presidency, ever. His record on AIDS alone should be enough to damn him, but it, and all of this, apparently isn’t. He should be remembered alongside Nixon. Instead he usually gets lumped in with Kennedy. I cannot overstate how furious that makes me.
Since you mentioned the war on drugs…
In ‘83, the US government sprayed a very large crop of marijuana in Mexico with paraquat. Paraquat is a known poison that, even in the 80s, scientists and environmentalists knew was bad for even the plants it was sprayed on, but the government did so with the explanation it was a herbicide meant to kill weeds, especially “Weed” itself. Now, studies linked to the government claim there’s no evidence that this paraquat caused any negative developments but a separate medical study had this to say on the topic:
Human paraquat poisoning from accidental or intentional ingestion is very often fatal. According to the amount of paraquat involved, death can occur within hours or weeks following ingestion. The inefficacy of the various treatments undertaken have led to determine prognostic factors based upon the evolution of plasma and urine paraquat concentrations or of usual biochemical parameters. We report one case of acute poisoning which, although the ingested dose of paraquat was not massive (< 50 mg/kg-1) and the severity indices were in favour of a delayed fatal outcome, has ended in an early death.
I can’t actually find any statistics on how many people died from this (or went blind, as there’s also anecdotal evidence of but nothing concrete). It’s not talked about or studied. It’s very often ignored even when discussing the “War on Drugs.”
This was after the Nixon administration had already done the exact same thing. My father knew someone, all the way up here in Michigan, who was standing at “smoker’s corner” and suddenly collapse - it caused somewhat severe brain damage in this case - thousands of (mostly teenage) people were smoking this marijuana (both in the 70s and 80s). Even the most trace amounts had effects that the governmental studies simply didn’t look for (they all claimed no cases of lung or throat cancer showed up… if the smallest traces causes brain damage and just a bit more can mean death, I don’t imagine many lived long enough to develop said cancers).
It genuinely horrifies me that this man is not considered a monster by the masses. I’ve never lived in America, so I mostly learned about Reagan from my own research and a few mentions in my history textbooks. This man was a monster. One of many who have somehow managed to escape being made to face what they’ve done.
i’ve been in houses where his portrait is either on a wall or a mantle
i thought my wlw ass couldn’t get any gayer. and then here comes Ocean’s 8, with cate blanchett in suits, and rihanna in a bomb red dress. i came to have a good time AND I HONESTLY FELT SO ATTCKED. IN 20GAYTEEN? DURING PRIDE MONTH? THE AUDACITY!

Oh sorry! I live in Canada where we spell things correctly. I understand the confusion, though.
What a polite way to say fuck you
I’m in a Facebook group for queer folks in Chicago. Recently there was a heated discussion over whether cops were welcome. Some member seemed genuinely confused about why other members didn’t like cops much. This is an attempt to answer that.
