I'm Kira. I'm 29. Hi! *boops you on the nose* This is a thirst blog, so minors, turn around now! I'm a trans girl who blogs about feminism, Ace Combat, bunnies, trans stuff, star wars, Star Trek, thirsty stuff and whatever happens to catch my eye. Lesbian.

Meanwhile, the McClung-class landing ships, the Navy’s latest procurement project, is following the same trajectory of the Constellation and the LCS.

thats the noise it makes when it bangs up against the dock and the front falls off

You know even with all the World Cup hype I think I’ve only seen like one thing partnering with the US men’s soccer team. All the other stuff is just kind of advertising the idea of soccer.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Americans aren’t super duper into soccer but we do generally grasp the importance of the World Cup. Also our men’s team is generally forgettable so with these two realities put together we just end up hyping up the general idea of soccer.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Oh I forgot to mention that NBC national news did an interview with Lionel Messi to inform Americans about who he is and I haven’t seen one interview with the US men’s soccer team lol

[what-even-is-thiss]

We as neighbors still have something beautiful in common during these trying times.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Just saw an ad on tv that basically said it would take an actual miracle for the US to win the World Cup lol

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah I’m not really that into soccer but even I kinda wish I had the money to go to Brazil for the women’s World Cup next year. That’s where the real action is.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Even though I don’t root for any specific team I do actually like to watch soccer once in a while. I’m watching the Switzerland/Canada game right now with my grandparents and I don’t particularly care about the outcome but it’s fun to watch. I think going to the women’s World Cup would be fun but alas. Money.

did kier starmer's government help people? no. but did it at least make the country a better place? no. but was it popular? ah, no. but did it keep its promises? also no. but did it at least do right by its core constituencies? no. but when faced with great injustice, did starmer at least have the courage to condemn it? no. but did he at least refrain from actively cheering it on? no. but was the economy good? hell no. but di

Apolitically killing bandits and savages in my video game with no messages

[diet-poison]

asked the skyrim bandits why they were living in a cave and they explained the war effort has buried the economy so they can't find work and lost their homes. I use my shout to blast them across the cave and find a preeeetty nice sword among their belongings

[p1nkiek1ttie]

no, actually, i can’t be friends with someone who has opposing political views. this is mostly due to the fact my views are “people deserve rights”

So I saw some people remarking that they didn't understand why "liberals" are focusing on the disaster of the Reflecting Pool paint job, and ok so when you see stuff like that, I need you to remember we are dealing with a wannabe strongman. Anything that makes him look ineffectual, wasteful, and incredibly stupid-- you get that between your teeth and you don't let go. Especially *especially* when it involves laughing at him.

Also... it is funny. Except for the poor ducks, it's funny. Man lost a war to algae. His "American Flag Blue" is green and slimy and the paint is peeling off, and all before his big 4th of July show that no musicians want to play. It's funny. Point and laugh. That is fighting fascism, actually.

Like, this is the same guy who is trying to hide that a judge made him take his name off the Kennedy Centre by hiding the building with a great big tarp to obscure where his name used to be.

Any public slight, no matter now petty, no matter now little it matters to everyone else, gets under his skin like those screwworms he accidentally let Musk reintroduce to Texas (causing the government to call a state of emergency as it's trashing their beef industry).

Mocking the Reflecting Pool is Springtime for Hitler.

Many neonazis and their ilk are okay with their icons being portrayed negatively as long as that negativity takes the form of a powerful and threatening figure. They like identifying themselves with Big Scary Destroyer. It's a power fantasy for them.

That's why, for instance, Trump's incoherence when speaking doesn't bother them. His incoherence is taken, by and large, very seriously. The man opens his mouth and drops a bunch of verbal turds - and the world panics, or at the least gets very, very nervous. Not unjustifiedly, it's true, but the power fantasy of being able to say whatever they want and get taken seriously is still vicariously fulfilled.

But the Reflecting Pool? The Reflecting Pool wasn't supposed to be broken. It's not something Trump destroyed for the sheer pleasure of destruction, which is how Trump's base experienced his gutting of the government via Musk. The Reflecting Pool is something that was supposed to be improved, which he boasted about improving, and instead it's clearly turned to muck. There's no power fantasy there. There's nothing to gloat over; it's just a damp gross failure. It isn't even a catastrophic failure! Tearing down the East Wing of the White House was dramatic, and had the value of making a big, indelible change to a national icon. No matter what happens, the East Wing as we knew it is gone. Power fantasy. By contrast, the Reflecting Pool? It's just fuckin dirty. It's gross. It's your neighbor's neglected cheap pool that's full of dead leaves and slime. An entirely pedestrian, grody, pathetic failure. It would literally be more salvageable as a PR thing for Trump if it got hit by a meteor and turned into a smoking crater.

And that's why we're riding that fucker so hard. This is what's under the power fantasy. Deep down, he's just pathetic. And that's what Mel Brooks understood with Springtime for Hitler. You don't fight the Nazis by making them big bad scary evil guys. You fight the Nazis (when actual weapons aren't a present option) by making them a laughingstock. There is no way to derive a power fantasy from being the object of derision.

There's a recurring online tendency to aestheticize consensus itself. The imagined future village is full of emotionally compatible people who enjoy communal gardening, conflict resolution circles, acoustic folk music, mutual aid potlucks, and repairing bicycles together at sunset. Which is nice for the people who genuinely enjoy that lifestyle. But plenty of humans are solitary, prickly, obsessive, urban, nocturnal, sensory-seeking, technologically attached, contrarian, novelty-seeking, private, or just plain difficult. Those people do not evaporate after the revolution. They do not get Left Behind while you are Raptured into the Utopia. They become your neighbors.

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

Edit: this post is blowing up so I’m gonna shamelessly plug my art account. Follow me and I’ll draw the Godzilla lesbians @thenonbinaryfriendnamedcrumb

2nd edit: Yes. Female friends dance with eachother. But why can’t they be lesbians?? I’ve seen people on this website ship two men for astronomically less.

I honestly think Gen-Z and younger simply does not understand how recent widespread smartphone adoption is.

I am not that old, and I didn't have a smartphone until probably late high school. For most of my life, many if not most people were not walking around with a magic internet machine in their pocket that they pulled out and used constantly for everything.
