I'm so scared. I can't sleep. Over 40% of my country voted for a fascist today. I don't know if we can beat him on the second round. Even if we can, over 40% of my country voted for a fascist today. We've already lost.

This guy has said worse than Trump, believe it or not. He's openly talked about beating up gay people, raping women, torturing and killing people against him. He called the people of a quilombo (black communities formed around slavery, some of which still exist) so "lazy and fat" they were "not even good for breeding".

We had a military dictatorship in Brazil (if was partly financed by the USA, but that's a whole other story). From the 60s to the 80s, people disappeared, were tortured, killed and blackmailed. Everyone could be accused of being a "communist", and they could do whatever they wanted to you. One of the big names when it came to torture (that's how institutionalized it was) was Ustra. He tortured and killed dozens of people, including our former and first female president, Dilma. When they impeached Dilma, Bolsonaro stood there and made an homage to Ustra. Actually congratulated a man on torturing a woman. Ustra was famous for shoving rats into his female prisoners' vaginas and using kids in his torture. The youngest child to be actively tortured by that regime was one year old. Bolsonaro stood before national television and congratulated the perpetrators of these monstrosities.

And still, 40% of my country voted for him today. Out of hatred for PT (Worker's Party). They'd rather watch our democracy die. Watch me and my friends die. My mother, who's a bisexual woman like me. My boyfriend, who is a black man, my cousins, all black men and women. We always go first.

They already feel more comfortable, the fascists. More comfortable following us in the streets and yelling threats, telling us to shut our mouths and lower our heads. And I'm scared. I don't want to lower my head. I want to fight for my brothers and sisters who will suffer in the hands of a monster. But I'm so scared. I want to run. Cross the border before I can't anymore. I'm scared, and I'm sad, and I'm trying my best to win over votes against him for the second round but I'm also so tired. I just want to cry. And I can't sleep.

movie tropes that will never get old to me:

a thing happens + two people exchanging money in the back

fourth wall breaking

“give up all your weapons” and that one guy that spends the entire evening taking his weights worth out his pockets

*a terribly loud crash* meowing/ car sirens heard offscreen

alternatively: a terribly loud crash and one of the characters going “oops” in the most casual voice

“fuck you” “well if you insist”

nerdgasrnz

#alternatively alternatively: *terribly loud crash w/ sirens and cat screeching*#person: *off camera* ‘I’M OKAY’ (via @zenlida)

count-di-luna

character being all “you expect me to do X?” Gilligan Cut to character doing X

susiephone

the squad gets captured and interrogated separately, and they’re all telling equally terrible, completely contradictory lies

people completely missing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them

alternatively, people absolutely seeing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them and just not giving a shit

bonus points if it’s a beleaguered minimum wage employee who just goes about their business like “yep same shit as always”

someone pretending they don’t know another character is eavesdropping, only to casually reveal at the end of the scene that they know (*leaving* “tell tom that he can come out now” *tom drops from the ceiling in spy gear, irritated*)

choosing to deal with the villain by just leaving them alone in a room with another character

the “hands go down” trope

example: “any questions?” *everyone’s hands go up* “…that AREN’T sarcastic?” *everyone’s hands go down*

neonprotagonist

how could all y'all forget “ACT NATURAL!”

i wish ppl on here werent so anti-recovery. ur therapist teaching u coping methods isnt ‘neurotypical bs’. listen to ur therapist. take a break from social media if u have to. stay out of drama if it stresses u out. block ppl who hurt you or even ppl who piss you off.take time to chill but also make sure u do whatever work u can. talk to friends if ur able. find smbdy you can trust. but still treat them kindly and give them space if they need it.

like yea sometimes ur stuck with a mental illness, but tha doesnt mean you cant work towards even a small bit of recovery in a healthy way

i never really talk about alistair but??? honestly?? dao is such a coming of age story for him, regardless of if you harden him or not

like, it starts as the story of a boy not wanting to take charge of a small party of three, let alone an entire group. but he grows and learns and eventually is willing (even wants) to rule an entire kingdom

OR you have the story of a boy too kind and unsure to lead, eventually learning that softness isnt a flaw and that to be loving in a world so full of taint is not a bad thing!!

either way i LOVE alistair’s growth and he truly is a good boi

Stop censoring the words people are using to blacklist, you are actually exposing people to the word/subject you think you’re protecting them from. If rape is on my blacklist and you have an in depth account of rape and you used r*pe for everything, I WILL NOW BE EXPOSED TO IT because my blacklist DIDN’T BLOCK IT because YOU CHANGED THE WORD.

skepticalspectacles

^^^^^^ To add: Censoring is only really necessary when it comes to a slur your cannot reclaim, but you still need to at least tag the post with the themes so anyone who has, say, antiblack violence blacklisted for instance, won’t be exposed to what it is that triggers them.

apersnicketylemon

I would really appreciate it if people could reblog this instead of ignoring it because this IS becoming a wide spread problem. I have had several panic attacks over the last month due to things that are on my blacklist not being caught specifically because of people censoring the black list word. Blacklists can pick up on words inside posts, but they can’t pick up on those words when you change one or more letters to a star.

Stop censoring words in posts that aren’t slurs, you are not protecting us from exposure, you are forcibly exposing us to it. You are doing precisely the opposite of helping us.

So this very nice lady who is a donor to the organization where I work sent us a ‘non-attending’ contribution in support of our upcoming event and since she’s in her 70s and she’s been attending this event for the last 30 years I called her to check in, and she can’t come this year because she participated in an anti-Trump Thriller flash mob where all the zombies were carrying protest signs and she tripped over her sign and broke her pelvis. I am so proud and so inspired and also will heed this cautionary tale and try to gird my pelvis when i’m 76 and sticking it to the man.
