Guys! I’m trying my hand at Bad Things Happen Bingo. It’s going to be a super slow process, but I have really struggled with finding a good pattern of writing between work and, you know, the whole state of all the things in the world. So hoping this helps me find a new way to work!

My main account got @-ed on this scam (no I won't say which one), and it occurred to me that some of the people here might not realize this is a scam.

It is. Do not click any mystery links. DO NOT give them any personal information. And DO NOT respond to messages like this.

So, what you're saying is, under no circumstances should we be reposting the above image as much as humanly possible?

939 days left of HIS fuckup

reblogs were off

ngl I'm getting pretty fed up with useful idiots who want to withhold their votes for the mythical Perfect Candidate

like if your choices are a Nazi-loving rapist racist child-molesting fraudster whose sum principles are "hurt the vulnerable and make the worst people on the planet richer" and someone who just sucks in some aspects and you can't bring yourself to vote against the Nazi because you don't agree with EVERYTHING on the other person's platform, what good are you to anyone but the Nazis

"we should have better candidates instead!" yeah dillweed that's why you've gotta vote locally and in primaries

primaries are for voting your conscience, general elections are for voting your survival, grow the fuck up

and don't get it twisted, I blame the DNC for a lot of this too because they're so chickenshit of putting forward actual progressive candidates. they're cowards corrupted by Citizens United, there's no denying that, they're center-right but I would rather have that than ACTUAL FASCISTS

because again, if you can't be fucked to do the bare minimum and help keep whoever the KKK and Nazis are real excited about out of office because the other choice isn't enough of an uwu perfect cinnamon roll for you, you are helping the fascists gain power

the right wing doesn't have this problem, you insufferable clowns

they infight as much as the left does and they do so a lot dirtier but when it comes time to cast ballots they fucking rally

and given how much control they've gained from them doing that and y'all sitting on your bony asses pissing and moaning about not getting your Favorite on the ballot, you'd better start taking fucking notes

you're not "punishing" the Dems by refusing to vote, you're punishing ALL OF THE REST OF US

"we should have better options" wish in one hand and shit in the other, see which one fills up faster. go make it happen or shut up forever. get off the apps and rally the troops. close the farcebook tab and join a phone bank. uninstall tiktok unless you're gonna use it to fight back against this bullshit doomerist pissbaby maybe-psyop that tells you that not voting AGAINST the right wing is in any conceivable way a noble act. My sister and I can't renew our fucking passports because of y'all. Useless jagoffs watching masked thugs drag away toddlers & patting yourselves on the back going "Kamala wouldn't have abolished ICE so I did the right thing staying home." If the Nazis win the POTUS seat again in '28 I'm gonna eat a bullet or something, gods know I can't afford to just move to Europe. We have a real chance to take Congress back this year but we've all gotta FUCKING SHOW UP. Sick of this shit

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

Also, please beware - many of these questions are trick questions, phrased to indicate that the government is only looking for support for their dipshit ideas. Things like "Which types of websites should have minimum age restrictions?" are irrelevant, and further show they're only looking for people to support their idiocy.

Please fill it out if you live in the UK and/or share it around to get more eyes on it."

A response by an user whose handle is hidden:

Was feeling a little down that I hadn't received a kudos email in over a month - thought no one was reading/liking my stuff anymore, which does make it a little hard to keep going.

TIL that my email filter has started automatically sorting AO3 messages to the named folder, bypassing the inbox. I will eventually figure out how to turn that off, but for now...

...the 20 kudos emails that have been quietly lurking in the shadows have both made my day and made me cry a lil' bit. Thank you to everyone who likes/kudoses/comments. Love you all.
