Reblogging again now that Russell Brand's ugly mug is back in the news to remind everyone that in the 2023 Times expose on his abusive behaviour, Daniel Sloss was the only male comedian willing to be named and quoted like "yeah that dude's a scumbag and women have been warning each other about him for years."
Itâs a shame that the internetâs takeaway from the Epstein thing is âPizzagate was right and we should all start thinking like qanonersâ instead of âThe MeToo movement was right and should have involved more guillotines.â
i love shaneâs potty mouth. i bet his first word as a baby was fuck and yuna was impressed he was listening to her so much (letâs be real he got that mouth from his mama) and david is just happy shane is talking he just goes âyes shane! fuck! thatâs my boy!â
Funny bit and all, but Iâm seeing a lot of notes saying they donât or didnât know what the Dakota Access Pipeline is so Iâd like to take the opportunity as a MN/ND resident to ask all of you to educate yourselves so you donât say something super racist in light of this joke.
Explore this interactive case study on the Dakota Access Pipeline and its violation of the Fort Laramie Treaty. Students will use the images
The DAPL is a treaty violating, culture destroying, dangerously placed oil transport system that if fails, will pollute the only drinking water of one of the most vulnerable groups in America. Itâs yet another way colonizers have ignored indigenous voices and violated their land.
Actually, let's go ahead and say this part louder.
Because the DAPL is HORRIFIC, and indigenous people put their bodies on the line to fight it at every step.
This is one of the first things that comes to mind when I hear phrases like "what you let your government do to others (Palestine) they will eventually do to you*" that drive me up a fucking WALL because that sentiment, though meant to be a rallying cry against political paralysis, is so obnoxiously ignorant of the history and ongoing MO of America.
DAPL, Flint, MI's lack of clean water, Hurricane Katrina, martial law in DC, ICE raids in LA to justify NG deployment against civilians, BLM. I mean fuck it, go look up Seneca Village and the creation of Central Park. Look up how freeways in large cities like LA derived their paths.
America currently and has ALWAYS gleefully threatened, endangered, exploited, and violated the lives and lands of BIPOC (and heavy on the indigenous while we're talking about DAPL rn) people whenever convenient, profitable, and destabilizing to those communities.
Anyway, all of that to say:
- the fascism around us isn't new.
- Fuck DAPL.
- listen to vulnerable populations when they tell you the fear you're feeling now has been a regular part of their lives for GENERATIONS and transmute that realization into momentum to join the fight because it's not new - it's been waiting for you and now you're here!
- vote for Vic
* = this "you" is so 'affluent white liberal' coded I want to scream
Trick or Treat! Your mismag drabbles are giving me life!
If you're not too busy, I'd love some EvSam..
I feel like a lot of discussion of their relationship centers around Sam comforting Evan... I'd love to see some Evan comforting/protecting Sam!
Hand shaking, she struggles to not drop the phone.
It rings.
Once.
Twice.
A thi-
âHello?â his voice is groggy from sleep and she almost sobs in relief at the sound.
âHi,â she says, trying her best to sound like she hasnât just been crying. âHey, Evâ.â
âSam?â he asks, suddenly sounding infinitely more alert than he was a moment ago. âWhatâs up? Everything okay?â
âYeah, itâs- Iâm fine,â she reassures him quickly, rubbing at her nose with the back of her hand. Itâs wet from snot and she feels gross.
âWhere are you?â he asks. She can hear the noise of something in the background, rather like air rapidly decompressing from something.
âWhy?â she asks. âYou donât need to- you donât have to come.â
The sound of a window opening and a deep breath in. âSam,â he says, his voice dangerously low. âEither tell me exactly what happened or tell me where you are, so I can make sure youâre safe.â
âLondon,â she says, âOutside a pub. In- the West End? Iâm- Iâm not sure.â
âGot it,â he says. She can hear the sound of his fingers flying across the screen of his phone. For a guy who only had a flip phone for the longest time, he took to screens really well. âI can be there in five. Is that soon enough?â
A door opens behind her and she holds her breath, taking the phone off speaker and turning the sound down so Evan wonât give her away. âSam?â a voice calls. âSamantha? I know youâre out here.â
She doesnât respond.
Faintly, through the phone, she can hear whooshing wind - the sound of him on his broom. Just knowing heâs coming is enough to turn her stomach into knots and make her feel safe at the exact same time. Itâs stupid, this is stupid. Heâs going to think sheâs stupid for calling him crying over something this ridiculous.
âUgh,â the voice says, the door slamming again as they go back in.
Sam breathes out sharply, peeking out from behind the dumpster to make sure they really left and arenât just faking it. Itâs what Evan would do, if he were here.
Theyâre gone. She turns the volume back up. âSorry,â she says. âI -"
âSam, who was that?â his voice is a little tinny but she can make it out okay.
Thereâs wine all over the front of her dress and T2âs going to kill her over the dry-cleaning bill. She doesnât answer. âIâm okay,â she says. âItâs not- Iâm not in danger. I promise.â
The sound of rushing wind stops and then his voice comes through clearer. âIf itâs safe, can you walk out into the street for me?â
She pushes up from her seat on one of the small crates and brushes off her dress, though itâs a futile effort. Most of her things are still inside, sheâd only had her phone on her when she rushed out, and now sheâs kicking herself for it. Sheâs going to have to go back in to get her stuff or give them up and hope someone turns them into the bartender so she can maybe get them back in the morning.
Stepping out under the streetlights, Sam gives the street a quick look around. âOkay,â she says, âIâm on the street.â
âThank you,â he says politely. âI want you to pick something and think about it as hard as you can. Focus everything you have on thinking about it.â
A little confused, Sam closes her eyes, and thinks about Evan.
After about fifteen seconds, she hears, âI see you.â
When she opens her eyes, heâs walking up to her, his broom already stashed away in his backpack. The final few paces, he jogs to her, reaching out in concern at the stain on her dress. âIs that -"
âWine,â she says quickly, not sure what to do with her phone now. Not waiting for him to open his arms, she throws hers around him, latching onto him. Her face buried in his neck, she breathes the smell of Evan. Warm, a little like the forest after a spring rain, and perfectly him.
His hand comes up to cup the back of her head, his other hand not so subtly checking her for injuries.
âWhat happened?â he asks. âAre you okay?â
âYeah,â she says, pulling away to sniffle. âIâm sorry- you shouldnât have- I shouldnât have called. Itâs just -" she stuffs her phone in between her boobs for lack of a better place to put it. âDid I ever tell you about my dad?â
-
With Evanâs coat wrapped around her to cover up the stain on her dress, Sam feels like sheâs been wrapped in a spell of protectiveness. They walk back into the pub, him just a few steps ahead of her. âWhich one?â he asks, his voice low.
Sam points.
âWait here,â he instructs, passing over his backpack for her to hold.
She waits.
He strides up to her father, clasping him on the shoulder to get his attention. Sheâs too far away to hear whatâs being said but itâs less than a minute before Evanâs widening his stance and she knows exactly what heâs going to do. Too bad that no one else does.
Her father hits the floor like heâs been slammed into by a cannonball, sliding backwards several feet. He looks up at Evan in a daze.
The rest of the pub falls completely silent, no one daring to move or even thinking to intervene.
Evan steps up over her father, his foot coming down to the manâs wrist to hold it in place. Crouching down, he removes her purse from his grasp.
He opens it, checking to make sure everything she carries is in there, and then digs his heel in for good measure. âStay the fuck away from Sam,â she hears Evan say, his voice dangerously serious.
âCâmon,â he says, pulling Sam in close with one arm hooked around her shoulder. He kisses the side of her head. âLetâs get you home.â
Sam cries a little again, but for a whole different reason this time.
I love watching big dogs teach little dogs the rules. They always have such big "old timer employee giving the intern orientation" energy. They're so businesslike about it. This is their valued junior colleague, they are showing them the break room and the photocopier trick.
Welp fellow shippers and true believers, the Sam x Evan supercut is done!
Maybe I did too much (idk I've never made an edit like this before????) but tbh I haven't had as much fun editing anything as much as I did this supercut
Obsessed with the idea of an EvSam fic where Sam gets kidnapped because someone is trying to get to Evan now that heâs on some wizard vigilante shit. Heâs committing mass murder and doing war crimes just to get to Sam, but as soon as he gets there he finds that Sam has successfully charmed her captors and is rehabilitating them/convinced them to give up their bosses.
Itâs the idea of a blood soaked man with nothing but rage in his heart walking into a room ready for the fight of his life only to get the wind knocked out of his sails because his very powerful wizard girlfriend-wife already handled it.
So now Evanâs like, âWhy didnât you come home?â
And Sam goes, âI didnât want to leave and end up missing you since I knew you were already on the way.â
Evanâs nodding, like, âYeah, youâre right⌠ships in the night.â
âPlus I tried to send a paper bird message,â Sam says, âbut I guess you were moving too fast or something because it came back and like, shrugged at me.â
And Evan just kind of sighs because he canât be mad at Sam. Heâs mostly just relieved that sheâs okay, but he still has a lot of pent up energy that he fully intended to use on the people in this room only he canât now because theyâre Samâs turncoat thralls. So heâs like covered in viscera, still in a blood rage, has black eyes and a demon voice but is also trying not to cry because he missed his wifey and doesnât sleep well without her. (And also didnât sleep for two days straight while he was on his warpath to her. Like there is the biggest wake of murder and mayhem behind him.)
But then Sam grabs a little napkin and cleans some blood off his face so she can kiss him on the cheek and all of the demon energy melts off of his body and heâs semi-normal again. So Sam turns to her new homies and is like, âBye guys. It was nice meeting you. Iâm gonna go home now, but we should like â stay in touch.â
Which Evan is bugging about because he still wants to tear these people limb from limb, but he lets it go. Mostly. âAre they like⌠good now? Or are they gonna turn back as soon as we leave? Should I kill them?â
âOh, no, no, no. Weâre cool now. Most of them were only doing this because they couldnât find jobs anywhere else because theyâve got records, and they hate their bosses. So I just offered them jobs and then they like, gave me the names of all the guys that were after you and where to find them.â
Evanâs like a dog that hears a treat bag shaking because, âMost of them?â baby wants to kill.
But then Sam says, âOh, they already took care of the loyalists.â
And Evanâs both disappointed and feeling territorial because heâs supposed to be her attack dog, but Sam smiles at him and heâs a sucker so he just says, âYouâre amazing.â
not sure if itâs just because iâve been thinking about sam and evan nonstop since wednesday but this song is SO âtender sentiments whispered between two people sharing an air mattressâ to me
