happy birthday, gilbert baker. (june 2, 1951 — march 31, 2017)
People are losing hope in elections, but, for me that just proves that they are more important than ever.
The problem is that the more damage Republicans do, the harder it is to see that, and that’s literally the point.
That’s why I’m SO excited to be working with Sway these past few months. The idea is that the people whose opinions you trust the most have voting groups where they get to endorse candidates. And there’s no algorithm so you’re not frantically searching through social media looking for anything, it’s on an app and you get texts.
But of course, I dance to a different drum. I couldn’t use the platform like everyone else. I mean I did. I did endorse in dozens of races in tomorrow’s CA election, but I already have a weekly election guide, so that wasn’t what made me trip over myself to run and become a group leader.
For me, it’s about the back-end data. As more people join I am able to see where my audience is located.
That means my election guide might include one congressional district but not another cause I KNOW I have voters in one AND they will get a text or email with the info.
It’s easier for me, it’s less stressful for my team, it’s a win all around.
I currently have 276 members of my voting group, Election Day is Every Tuesday.
What will it take to have 300 by the end of the week?
Your vote is your voice, and that voice is your superpower. By joining this group, you help champion Democrats in your area, and make my ele

I am curious. What you said with the spam report, is it possible to do that but reporting the blog?
Yes! It's possible to do the exact same thing but with the entire blog. Instructions under read more

Man, I miss the days that I clarified I was not the actual CDC so that if I said something incorrect, people would know to check me. Now it's so y'all know I am not associated with that whole mess.
When youre the tumblr cdc but the real deal is currently being used as a pinata for politicians
I hate you and your little puppet with every fiber of my being

Talking about racism always summons at least one white person who feels the need to be like "I was racist once" like ok man. Thanks
Unnecessary white people comments they love telling me for some reason:
"I was racist once"
"I'm racist. But I don't want to be"
"Thank You. For Educating Me On This Topic" (on what is clearly a personal vent post)
"It's so fucked up how you're subjugated?? Allow me to recount the ways"
(Repeating what I just said, but more stupider)
"My Fellow White People. We Need To Do Better"
Sometimes they'll do more than one. You could make a white people comment bingo game
i need to get into cars
they have doors which help with this
I know we’re all like lawless nonconformists but you really can’t be texting and driving. that’s one of the ones you’ve gotta listen to for real
Not even at stoplights!!! I know it’s so so tempting to just glance at your phone when you’re stopped, but there’s actually something called “distraction hangover” where even once you put your phone down, your brain is still processing the interaction and isn’t fully paying attention to the road for up to 30 seconds afterwards. So it’s still really dangerous even if you’re stopped when you look at your phone. If you need to check something on your phone, pull over.
this especially applies to people with adhd. you know that symptom you may have heard of called “difficulty transitioning between tasks”? you don’t want piloting a ton or two of potential death to be the task you can’t mentally switch back to.
Learning this was an intentional genocide changed me.
I know most of those following me know this, but just to make it super clear. An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger/the Great Famine) was a deliberate genocide of the Irish people. There was enough food grown in Ireland to make sure everyone was alive and healthy and survived. Instead it was exported, sent to England and elsewhere for profit while men, women, and children starved in the streets. While the English landlords fucked off and evicted starving families who couldn’t afford rent. While babies were too weak to cry and died at the side of the road.
They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. And we owe so much thanks to the other oppressed peoples, in particular the Choctaw Nation and the Masai, who sent money and grain to us.
Let me repeat that. The Choctaw Nation who had just gone through the Trail of Tears sent us money to try save Irish lives. It’s led to an understanding between Irish people and Native American tribes, most recently when we donated to the Navajo and Hopi fundraisers for COVID-19 relief, because while it may be a different tribe, Irish people will never forget those who helped us and we’ll help back.
The entire population of the island is less than seven million people. We’re still a million less on this island than pre famine. And it’s not that long ago. My grandmother’s grandparents lived through it. We’ve told the stories, it literally changed the DNA of the country. We have a national fear of renting, because so many people were evicted. People joke about Irish people always offering loads of food, but it’s because there’s that cultural memory of not being able to.
They tried to kill us, but they did not succeed. We will not let them take our lives, we will not let them take our language. We lost so much, but we will not lose it all.
This is why I get so angry when people say “it was the potato famine, it was because of monoculture/microbes.”
Nope. The potatoes were the only thing Irish people were allowed to fucking eat, because as pointed out, the rest of the crops they were growing were for their landlords to ship to England. So when the one “worthless” crop they were allowed to eat rotted in the field, the English crown, empire, landlords, all shrugged and carried on. People starved to death lying next to productive fields.

Why the fuck are you suggesting putting CHILDREN in a club?
So they can sip grey goose, maybe have a cig, and feel the rhythm? Are you the fun police?
