It’s been a while...

But I guess we’re all migrating back now, huh?

“I watched Lock’s expression brighten and I changed the subject before he said something annoying, like how lovely I looked when I ranted about the patriarchy.”

Just to be perfectly fucking crystal clear –

IF DEMOCRATS WIN CONTROL OF THE SENATE, MITCH McCONNELL CANNOT DO THE SAME EGREGIOUSLY EVIL BULLSHIT HE’S BEEN PULLING SINCE FOREVER.

If Democrats win control of the Senate, they can finally push forward a better healthcare plan, among other important pieces of legislation that will guide the United States to a more progressive and equitable future. The GOP is so partisan that they would rather see us lose our healthcare altogether during a global pandemic than allow a Democratic healthcare plan to pass. They proved that in this past year.

Democrats just need 2 more seats to hold the majority with VP Kamala Harris as the tiebreaker. There are 2 seats up for grabs in the run-off election.

You do the math.

Listen, the presidential race would not have been this close if more young voters had voted. If every young person in America had voted, Biden would have likely swept the election. We HAVE that power, Millennials and Gen Z together. But we didn’t use it. Now Georgia is giving some of us a second chance.

Please do not get complacent, even though it looks as though Biden is going to win. The GOP is still that same party full of sycophantic and opportunistic narcissists who old white republicans put in power, even without Trump to bow and kowtow to. They will pull the same shit they always have. So…

VOTE.

Because, as a wise man once said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Sometimes I look back at things I used to believe or say and cringe. Which is painful. But I’ve come to understand that, if you’re NOT cringing about something in your past, it means only that you haven’t learned or grown at all. 

So go on. Own the cringe.

I think I see it

We maybe just laughed about this for an hour straight.

‘Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it. It’s up to all of us – Black, white, everyone – no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own. It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets.’ — Michelle Obama

As someone who finished her undergrad at 40, I feel this later update. Take your time. Progress made at any speed is progress.

If you put a fat girl who exercises next to a skinny girl who’s on meth they’ll say the skinny one is healthiest

[twig-rat]

and this is why we say fuck diet culture because fUCK DIET CULTURE because SKINNY DOES NOT EQUAL HEALTHY

[lemonsharks]

And also: health is not an obligation and not a state of morality.

Headcanon: the knife in BBC Sherlock that he uses to skewer mail on his mantlepiece, is the knife Mori stabbed him with (I'm conveniently ignoring there's a non-Mori Moriarty in the show, even though I love that Moriarty too... Or maybe Sherlock has had two Moriartys in his life?)

I love this so much. You are brilliant. 🖤🖤🖤

I just read the line “President Donald Trump also indicated that federal squads would likely target cities run by the party that opposes him” in a real-life news article and I’m just thinking about how people really thought Democrats were overreacting in 2016 and that we should “give him a chance”

[marvelsmostwanted]

“Joe Biden and Donald Trump are the same” really? ?? What a galaxy brain take. Because right now the standard is “will address the pandemic and not send unidentified federal agents to kidnap citizens in the street” so, yeah, they’re not the same
