This is so
Unnecessary
how do you explain to someone that this is your sense of humour
“What could the audio possibly be?”
*unmutes*
“Oh,”
If I ever don’t laugh at this, assume I died.

Hmm let me get a poll for something real quick
Which of the following do you have regular access to? As in, you could easily go to it every day if you wanted?
A forest
A lake/river/marshlands
A field
A mountain/cave
A beach
A park
A desert
Several of the above
None of the above
I want to see how many people have easy access to nature, as I assume most of tumblr lives in urban areas such as cities or large suburbs, and a lot of people seem to not know much about the native species of plants and animals in their area. If you answered several, please reblog with which ones! And if the natural area is not mentioned, add it in a reblog or comment :)
“tumblr mutual” beloved friend I would pick up at the airport if y’all visited my home city
I didn’t think that way. I just feel that love needs mutual understanding. You said I couldn’t go with her, where’s the mutual thing?

hysterectomy feels like it would clear up a lot of space for storage. if i get them to yank that sucker out can i put a beer fridge or maybe a ps2 in there
a uterus that has never been pregnant is the size of a tangerine, so you could only store a mini can in there.
Wow clearly the words of a genocidal maniac amirite 🤪
It’s almost like it takes time and effort to actually enact foreign policy and the people whose activism ends at reposting slogans online or defacing Jewish businesses will never understand that because their entire political ideology hinges upon refusing to engage with reality
Nooooo it doesn’t count because Biden didn’t performatively post about his diplomacy while the deal was being struck :((
Okay great, definitely agree with the second part, except the implication here is that Biden has been pro-genocide, which literally goes against the point of this post, that he has been actively trying to reach a deal to stop the fighting the whole time behind the scenes. Can people please stop being chicken shit about going against their braindead zoomer friends online who are screaming "Genocide Joe"
I mean, this is how Biden tends to work. He's going by an older political playbook (one way I think his age does put him out of step with younger voters) where a lot of the "real" work happens out of the public eye. It's very much as odds with modern "performative politics" which tends to be about yelling around in public without necessarily doing all that much else. He also (because he's President) has to juggle a lot of conflicting things at once.
Take the railworker's strike - people were screaming their guts out about how awful Biden was for breaking the strike. But, as right as the workers were about what needed to change, the strike would have potentially been a real disaster for the US economy. So Biden signed a law to keep things going in the meantime . . . but then, next June:
"We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers. “We know that many of our members weren’t happy with our original agreement,” Russo said, “but through it all, we had faith that our friends in the White House and Congress would keep up the pressure on our railroad employers to get us the sick day benefits we deserve. Until we negotiated these new individual agreements with these carriers, an IBEW member who called out sick was not compensated.”
He *kept working* on it, behind the scenes.
Speaking as an old fart, from the very beginning of the current disaster in Israel-Palestine, Biden's public statements have been a little jaw-dropping for a US President. He actually *admitted out loud* that the US fucked up its response to 9/11 and said in no uncertain terms that Israel should not do the same. That's *nuts.* I still can't believe people just let that pass (I mean, I was around for "freedom fries" and all that bullshit in 2001 - saying anything bad about the US response to 9/11 used to be an invitation for flying monkeys to descend). Biden has repeatedly emphasized the rules of war, the need to minimize civilian casualties, etc., etc. He hasn't been bombastic about it, but he has said it. Over and over and over.
Yes, he announced public (and monetary) support for Israel, but my read on it is that's a) reflecting the fact that the US is, yanno, allied with Israel (like it or not), and b) also putting the kibosh on the whole thing turning into a massive multi-nation throw-down, which it had the potential to do. If there are US aircraft carriers sitting right there like 500lb gorillas, with a US pledge to support one of the two sides, that has a cooling effect. If it's bad now, it would be way worse if the war spread - and Biden knows this and has to play to that. So far it seems to have worked. I hope it continues to work.
And about that $ aid - it's important to remember that international aid isn't just a friendly prezzie, necessarily - it can also be leverage. There are some Dems now saying that any aid to Israel should come with conditions. Trust me - there were always going to be conditions, but probably not publicly-announced because, again, that's the old-school version of politics.
I think one very good analysis I saw on the news yesterday is that older Americans tend to look at the current conflict through the lens of geopolitics, while younger Americans see it almost entirely as a civil rights issue. To be fair, it's both, and people need to be taking both aspects into account.
And, really, what do some folks expect Biden to have done? Israel is a separate country that the US is allied with, but not one we control. It has a democratically-elected government. Short of a full scale invasion and regime change (you know, the Imperialist stuff people love to hate about the US and which is always a dismal failure anyway), Biden can't *make* Bibi and Co. do anything. The best he can do is what he did - try to position the US as a friend who is offering important advice, very forcefully, while applying massive amounts of diplomatic pressure behind the scenes. I know how it can seem that he wasn't doing anything, but . . . he was.
We can all argue about whether his choices were correct, effective, etc., but . . . compare this with the Republican stance on the situation and you'll quickly see both sides are not the same.
I also wonder how much politicians operating at the level of a president could even do modern performative internet politics with any scrap of integrity.
When sensitive deals are being brokered, you can’t share details. When compromises are being hammered out, you can’t brag that you’re getting things your way.
I’ve seen political systems where it’s an accepted fact that leaders brag and bluster while being corrupt on a covert and overt scale that would make even American lobbyists blush.
The fact that Biden is bad at blowing his own horn and that people can call him “Genocide Joe” with zero consequences from the government is part of why I can still sleep at night.
can someone please be proud of me like fuck I’m trying
reblog to let prev know you’re proud of them
Tang Ying, do you want to build a world that belong to us?
