Literary movements for the signs

[aaronwarners-blog]

Aries : Confessional poetry. Poetry that, often brutally, exposes the self as part of an aesthetic of the beauty and power of human frailty.

Taurus : Cavalier Poets. 17th-century English royalist poets, writing primarily about courtly love

Gemini : Postmodernism. Postwar movement skeptical of absolutes and embracing diversity, irony, and word play

Cancer :Naturalism. Also late 19th century. Proponents of this movement believe heredity and environment control people.

Leo : Romanticism. 19th-century (1800 to 1860) movement emphasizing emotion and imagination, rather than logic and scientific thought.

Virgo : Realism. Late-19th-century movement based on a simplification of style and image and an interest in poverty and everyday concerns.

Libra : New York School. Urban, gay or gay-friendly, leftist poets, writers, and painters of the 1960s.

Scorpio : Dark Romanticism. 19th-century American movement in reaction to Transcendentalism. Finds man inherently sinful and self-destructive and nature a dark, mysterious force.

Sagittarius : Transcendentalism. 19th-century American movement: poetry and philosophy concerned with self-reliance, independence from modern technology.

Capricorn : The Augustans. 18th-century literary movement based chiefly on classical ideals, satire and skepticism.

Aquarius : Stridentism. Mexican artistic avant-garde movement. They exalted modern urban life and social revolution.

Pisces : Stream of consciousness. Early-20th-century fiction consisting of literary representations of quotidian thought, without authorial presence.

This string of tweets.. I don’t want to pass it off as fact, like things will go exactly as they describe, because I don’t think they will, or I don’t want to believe they will. But I did want to share it because the concept of the obedience test is real and people really do need to take this shit seriously. It’s terrifying. And we can’t afford to downplay that literal nazis are being accepted into powerful positions in United States government as nothing more than “controversial.” We can’t afford to not be outraged at this. We can’t afford to not react.

Dear white people, With the holidays coming up unless the story ends with you beating the shit out of your racist grandma I don’t want to hear about your awkward dinner.

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy

I tried to scroll past this. I really did

I feel like minor acts of kindness and good intentions are really important on days like this.

Gotham’s Robin Lord Taylor exposes homophobic complaints about “canon”  — but explains why he won’t label Penguin’s sexuality

[urbanhymnal]

I haven’t watched Gotham at all, but hot damn, this is great. Get ‘em!

[moonblossom]

Bless you, tiny awkward gay bird man. <3 Gotham is so far from comic book canon at this point, anyone using that specific situation but not being upset about all the other things they’ve changed is full of shit.

A Grandma Accidentally Texted A Teen About Her Thanksgiving Plans And He’s Now Invited

Never normalize Trump.

The media will try. Don’t allow it. He can never be treated like a normal president. We can’t let this ever be seen as acceptable, not for a minute.

[jennyboom21]

Isn’t he going to trial for raping a 13 year old?

[spiffybunn]

Not anymore. She dropped the charges b/c she was getting death threats.

[amuseoffyre]

He raped his first wife, then slapped her with a gagging order to keep her from talking about it after they were divorced.

He has appeared in a porn video - not participating, but as a spectator.

He has freely admitted to harassing and abusing women in the infamous P*ssygate video

He brought in illegal immigrant workers to work on his buildings for years.

He treats his non-white employees shoddily, especially the Latinx staff, and blocked their attempts to unionise

The Federal Government sued him for racial discrimination

He is suspected of human trafficking for his modelling agency

I’m sure there are plenty more stories, but to be quite frank, I feel sullied enough.

[hashtagnotallmen-archive]

don’t let the media humanize a fascist, child rapist, racist, misogynistic piece of scum. don’t buy into their narrative.

reminder that kkk and neo nazis exist in such an organized fashion that they are encouraged within their groups to not shave or look like a typical skinhead racist. they’re also encouraged to join local law enforcement and government agencies (as shown in this FBI report on white supremacist infiltration) and have even landed on FBI and CIA watchlists (but aren’t nearly as prosecuted or engaged with and treated as such a threat by the state and federal government as say black, muslim, jewish and latin@ folks). and this isn’t some 1950s shit neither this is happening today in your ‘post-racist’ america. non-white-lookin poc be on your toes out there, white folks is plottin.

#NotMyPresident

The electoral college does not vote until December 19th. We have 40 days.

What does this mean?

Right now, the presidential election results are only a PROJECTION of the election outcome. They are PRELIMINARY RESULTS. A candidate still needs to earn 270 electoral votes to win. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote, which means that more than 50% of the voters wanted her for president. The electoral college shouldn’t guarantee an override of the public’s opinion– and it doesn’t have to.

There are 21 states that do NOT restrict which candidate the electors vote for. Out of these 21, Hillary lost the following:

As you can see, these states are worth 166 electoral votes. As it currently stands, Hillary Clinton is projected to receive 232 votes. Trump is projected to win 306. This means that 37 votes need to be taken away from Trump to bring him down to 269. Hillary Clinton needs 38 votes ADDED to win 270. These electoral voters can also abstain, which means that they can refuse to vote for either candidate. If 37 of the voters within these states abstain then no candidate will have reached the required 270. In this case, the vote would be taken to the House.

Trump won Pennsylvania, a state that typically votes blue, by less than 100,000 votes. While it is highly unlikely to get all 20 electoral voters to cross party lines and vote democrat, it also isn’t impossible to convince a few of them to be “faithless electors.” We only need to convince 38 out of the 166. That is 23%. There are SIXTEEN states we need to focus our attention on.

A move like this would be unprecedented. However, as we all saw on November 8th, odds don’t guarantee reality. Trump had a less than 20% chance of winning, yet given the circumstances, enough people came together and made it happen. We can make this happen. 

Ask yourself this: What do we have left to lose? We can stay complacent and accept that this country will be run by a racist, sexist, islamophobic, homophobic, ablest bigot, or we can at least try. 

How?

SPREAD THE WORD. Trend #NotMyPresident to let people know that we do not accept being led by a man who does not care about our wellbeing. Email your professors, email the dean of your colleges. The last thing a university wants is negative press. Millenials can take a stand, but that doesn’t mean we have to be the only ones. Church-led events helped bring a lot of disillusioned voters to the polls. Spread the word in any way possible, whether it be on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or even in person. Stage a peaceful protest. Hand out flyers. Let the people around you know that you don’t accept this man as your leader when he won’t even accept you as a citizen with your designated rights.

These 166 people need to face the consequences of electing this man. 

Do this for the people who couldn’t vote. Do this for the people who live in the very real fear of being deported. Do this for the people who will have to face the rise in hate crimes. Do this for the people who have a very real possibility of losing their rights. Do this for the people who will no longer be able to afford necessities.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Is this possible?

Yes, I wouldn’t have made the post without doing my research. Read the following paragraphs, taken from archives.gov:

Are there restrictions on who the Electors can vote for?

There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires Electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their states. Some states, however, require Electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote. (The 16 states listed above do NOT restrict their electors to this rule.) These pledges fall into two categories—Electors bound by state law and those bound by pledges to political parties.

The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the Constitution does not require that Electors be completely free to act as they choose and therefore, political parties may extract pledges from electors to vote for the parties’ nominees. Some state laws provide that so-called “faithless Electors” may be subject to fines or may be disqualified for casting an invalid vote and be replaced by a substitute elector. The Supreme Court has not specifically ruled on the question of whether pledges and penalties for failure to vote as pledged may be enforced under the Constitution. No Elector has ever been prosecuted for failing to vote as pledged.

Can Hillary still receive votes from the electoral college even though she’s conceded?

Think about it, Mitt Romney lost the 2012 election. All of the electoral voters didn’t immediately vote for President Obama the second he conceded. The election still ended up being 332 votes to 206. Not 538 unanimous votes for Barack Obama.

“For starters, it doesn’t matter if a losing candidate concedes, as far as the Electoral College process goes, according to Amy Bunk, director of legal affairs and policy at the Office of the Federal Register, among other experts.”

Conceding does not take a candidate’s name off of the ballot that the electoral voters see. In the past, “faithless electors” have voted for the projected losing candidate, or even voted third party.

Concession really only means acceptance of the PROJECTED outcome. This does not mean that the actual outcome cannot be different from the projected outcome. Please keep this in mind.

ALSO a friendly reminder that a concession is not set in stone, and can be reversed:

“…a spoken concession does not necessarily deny a candidate office if there is a drastic reversal in the vote count…

It is exceedingly rare for a concession, once issued, to be retracted; BUT such an event occurred in the United States 2000 presidential election, when Democratic candidate Al Gore, Jr. telephoned Republican George W. Bush to concede the contest. Gore was apparently unaware of the close vote count in the state of Florida, and when he realized it, he proceeded to cancel his concession address.”

this is a good, peaceful, cooperative way to fight. what do we have to lose at this point? and if you are able to, don’t just reblog this and never act on this. take twenty minutes and make a decent phone call, email, or letter to your representative. if you care, you’ll sacrifice just a bit of your time and join this effort. still, reblogging helps. spreading the word helps. post on other social media sites, tweet celebrities and talk show hosts, contact your news outlets. and not only do you tag it with #NotMyPresident, tag it with #StillWithHer so we don’t look like anarchists and shows that we have identified a problem and given a solution.

[guys-positivity]

You are trying, and I am proud.

[carolxdanvers]

So I’m concerned that people don’t realize just how messed up the situation at Standing Rock really is. The United States signed treaties acknowledging and agreeing that there are certain areas of land that were never ceded to them. These areas do not belong to the United States. They belong to a sovereign nation governed by indigenous people. The land that the Dakota Access Pipeline runs through is not part of the US. It is part of the Lakota nation. That means it is essentially a separate country.

Please imagine if the US wanted to build a pipeline from Washington to Alaska and they went through part of Canada to get there. Canadians protested, saying they have no right to be there and they’re destroying their water, and in response the USA sent militarized police to attack, harass, and harass these protesters, then arrested them for trespassing… on their own land.

That is what’s happening. This is an invasion, and the police are interfering on behalf of a foreign oil company.

i genuinely don’t believe there are trump supporters who are good people. if you knowingly support someone who, as president, would make life less safe for women, lgbt+ people, disabled people, people of colour and poor people, you’re not a good person.

Um the fact that a black latina woman can be the sixth richest musician in the world , someone who writes her own music, and escaped an abusive marriage -(Tony Mottola made her break up with her boyfriend when she was 18, when he was 20+ years her senior to sign her, he then started having an affair while still married to his wife, then married Mariah, refused to let her make music he thought was too black, and literally kept her LOCKED IN THEIR MANSION WHEN HE’D GO OUT, and if you don’t think the beggining of their relationship was coercive “you have to date me and have sex with me, let me control your entire life to work” wasn’t rapey and fucked up, to a teenage woman of color no less, get out of here, he even controlled her image, didn’t let her appear to sexual or anything like that), had a nervous breakdown and came out with one of the most successful albums (The Emancipation of Mimi) , earning her an extra 3 grammy’s, is fucking inspiring as fuck. 

Not even counting her five octave range and two notes (including working with nodules which is a hinderance to most singers actually) which yes, she may not be able to hit the notes she could at 20, but she started out with a wider range than Beyonce, Christina, and especially Ariana (who may attempt to do a whistle note, but she can’t enunciate or be understood during these notes).

People wanna give shit to Mariah for loving Christmas so much but she’s one of the most played Christmas artists of all time (tbh Christina’s and even Jessica Simpson- Tony Mottola’s post Mariah project who did release 2 Christmas albums) have never achieved the level hers are. And you wanna discredit the fact that yes, she has actually WROTE christmas classics. 

You’re just jealous you’re ain’t as festive, admit it.
