hi there!

I am a huge fan of the hundred year playlist, and I wanted to ask for your permission to bind each fic into books. this would be purely for myself and I would not be selling, advertising, or profiting from it in any way. it would just be for me and my bookshelf! it is perfectly okay to say no, it is why i am asking.

thank u sm! <33

Yes! And I'd love to see pics when you're done, if you're willing to share. I love fanbindings!!

Bounces on your bed like a child christmas morning WAKE UUUUP it's time to kill a dictator!!!!

[what-even-is-thiss]

I am once again reminding you to pay attention to state and local politics. When the federal government is against us, local governments have rights and local governments have power. Resistance must happen at every level of society.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Talk to your city council members! Protest! Vote in special elections! Write to your state representatives and your governor!

man i cannot believe that Cheney died the same day that Zohran Mamdani got elected mayor of nyc

[caseyscraftycorner]

Dick Cheney died and the democrats genuinely fucking swept this whole off-year election

nature is healing, etc

[caseyscraftycorner]

okay for real though:

maine rejected a heinous voting restricting law & passed a red flag gun control law

colorado passed a tax on people who earn more than $300,000 a year, which will be used to fund food assistance programs

california passed its redistricting proposition, which heavily favors dems in a direct attempt to counter Republican gerrymandering on the national scale, in a landslide vote

in viginia, the state delegation went from 51-49 (D-R) to 63-37 (D-R), and dems also won the races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General

and, again, Mamdani defeated Cuomo in the race for Mayor of NYC

like, holy fuck

reblog to heal the person you reblogged this from

I am begging everyone who has ever bemoaned about Hollywood only making sequels and IP movies to go see Sinners in theaters. It has the creative team behind Black Panther working on it and their talent shines through in the cinematography, music, costuming, EVERYTHING. It's a completely original screenplay written by Ryan Coogler and if you want to support original movies, go see it in theaters.

[dialogic]

I think it would be really fucking funny to write a piece of fiction set entirely in real life but using lazy fantasy worldbuilding talk. I gather coin* for the road west** - I will need it to enter the Capital.***

* two quarters and two dimes

** Interstate 64

*** Richmond, Virginia

[dialogic]

I must traverse the treacherous way north* to visit my lover at their place of learning. This city is a crossroads, positioned near the boundary point of a dark land we try not to visit.** It is an ancient place, riddled with the memory of the War.***

* Interstate 95

** Northern Virginia

*** American Civil

[dialogic]

The road north is blocked by enemy forces.* I fear we will be overpowered if we continue,** and never reach our destination.*** Let us abandon the road and take the ancient mountain pass.**** We will mind the cruel structures of bygone years***** as you go.

* northern virginians

** get vehicular manslaughtered by a tesla driver just outside the mixing bowl

*** west maryland

**** cut through loudon county

***** mcmansions

my best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right

[chocolate-and-discourse]

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.

[chocolate-and-discourse]

Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries. I was just like, yeah thats fine, I’d actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.

[spoopy-valkyrie]

“even the addicts?” yeah dude did i fucking stutter

[justalurkr]

Someone should put that on a statue, like along the lines of “bring us your sick, your tired, your hungry…” or something

[some-guy-named-john]

I've seen people online complaining that Alexander Skarsgard isn't good casting as Murderbot. I'll agree, he's not exactly suited for how Murderbot (the very flawed narrator) expresses itself, but Alexander Skarsgard is EXACTLY what an evil future corp would think a Security Unit should look like.

Murderbot's outsides do not match what it feels inside, that's a repeated part of the books. It's a corporate killing machine slowly finding it's humanity and building community. This makes the guy who is stereotyped as 'Manly Viking Warrior' fantastic casting.
