“A LESBIAN TEEN LOVE STORY COMING TO NETFLIX STARRING TWO WOMEN OF COLOR AND DIRECTED BY AN ICONIC LESBIAN OF COLOR DIRECTOR!”

#skwad

Hey American followers!

I know you don’t tend to reblog any politics of countries other than your own… but the Canadian Federal Election is going to be this year in October!

In Canada we don’t replace 1/3 of the government every couple of years, we replace every single seat. EVERYONE has to run for a seat all at the same time, through the whole nation. Party that gets the most votes? Their leader usually becomes the Prime Minister.

We need your help (And you can help by reblogging this too!)

Not enough information on Canadian politics and issues is circulated on tumblr. Despite there being a lot of Canadians, somehow most of us can go a whole year without seeing a post about Canada, even when we make a point about following Canadians.

The US election will be ramping up in the early primaries when Canada’s entire election happens (We don’t campaign very long and we have a LOT of rules about campaigning too).

Trudeau has failed us. Entirely. He is doing nothing about climate change, he’s chummy with Trump, he violates land treaties, he pushes pipelines through unceeded territory, he’s having our native peoples arrested for protesting this, he has not investigated the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, he’s been a HUGE fan of The Glass Cliff while calling himself a feminist, he has repeatedly broken promises including electoral reform (our system is actually not great! Maybe not as rigged as yours, but it badly favours the Liberal and Conservative parties!), and been over-all pretty bad for us. It’s especially infuriating that we see all of this and also you guys reblogging photo-op pieces of him going on about how great he is for going to pride and being cute (That’s actually not an indicator here when only one party leader hasn’t gone in like, 20 years).

We need the NDP or the Greens this year. We need them to have a loud voice at the very least. We need your help to do this. We need you to blog this time, for once, about an election that isn’t american. Our politics affect you too. We affect you as much as you affect us, we are neighbours and unless y’all invade us again some time soon, it’s not likely to change. Help us get someone better into office. Please, reblog posts about the Canadian Election when they start appearing in September/October.

Americans Can And Should Reblog This Post Please.

This is super important. The kind of nasty, bigoted populism that’s come to rise in the USA has leeched up here too and they’re only getting bolder. I’ve never been a fan of the Conservative party but they’ve become particularly embedded with these kind of alt-right populist scumbags and they’re heavily relying both on the general lack of coverage of Canadian politics and masquerading as the old-style Conservatives to get elected. People will vote for them because most people (especially the older, more reliable voting base) only see the Liberals and Conservatives as viable parties so they will only vote for one of them, and people are pissed at Trudeau. It really, really doesn’t bode well if Scheer gets elected in the Fall. Not for immigrants, or other marginalized communities, or the climate. And I’m no fan of Trudeau but as far as things to with relations to Trump, I can only imagine that Scheer would be infinitely worse. Those two controlling all of North America would be scary. This is honestly a terrifying time to be having an election the way that politics is going and we have few good options and are struggling with our own populist movement and a rise in hate and politically-motivated disinformation. DON’T IGNORE THIS.

Also if any of you (Canadian or not) are looking to see more about Canadian politics on your dash, I highly recommend starting by following @allthecanadianpolitics (they’re left-wing but if you agree with this post I don’t think that’ll be an issue for you). There are blogs out there that do post about Canadian politics, they just tend to require a lot more searching to track down because tumblr is very saturated with American topics.

VOTING CONSERVATIVE WILL MAKE IT WORSE

CANADA IS NOT A TWO PARTY SYSTEM.

THERE ARE OPTIONS.

tepkunset

Here in NS a really common argument not to vote NDP is “the one time they got in they did a bad job.” I’m sorry, how many tries are you going to give the Conservatives and Liberals to do a worse job over and over again?

And as for all my fellow Indigenous Canadians: Trudeau rode in on the backs of a lot of our peoples votes, because a lot of us believed in his lies, and because we were desperate to get Harper out and he seemed the most likely option. But we can’t let this discourage us from voting again. Our ancestors went too long without the right for us to waste it.

And most of all:

📢 VOTING CONSERVATIVE WILL MAKE IT WORSE

CANADA IS NOT A TWO PARTY SYSTEM.

WE’VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

mommacomms

….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

pagesofkenna

it is a YMCA reference - that’s one of the 6 memes being represented here

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)

(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

animatedamerican

I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

captainlordauditor

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

japhers

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics

reblog this post if you:

have acne

are currently running on minimal sleep

never brush your hair

Are actually a long-forgotten eldrich cryptid with a cry like death that makes the blood of men run cold in their veins, turns their hearts to stone and their minds to so much dust. Those who come to learn your name learn with it a fear they never knew they could possess. The blind see your horror. The deaf hear your cruel laughter. The ones with no feeling feel your icy talons tracing their spine. The dead tremble and roll in their graves, ever so thankful for the mercy of not having to experience the fear that is you. Soon you will return to this world, and the world will fall to chaos. As fire envelops the world, as all life perishes at your whim, you smile. For humanity should never have forsaken you.

spend too much time on tumblr

no one will know which one it is!

antiandrogen

nobody ever talks about how saying non-binary genders don’t exist is racist as fuck

stashlecash

How?

antiandrogen

many many many indigenous cultures have historically included more than two genders and to say that those genders do not exist is to say that those cultural traditions are invalid, and that only the imperialist gender binary is correct. which is racism.

Judaism has been recognizing six genders for thousands of years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_and_Judaism

SIX.

JUDAISM.

Fuck off with this “binary gender is commanded by God” bullshit.

poutinedragon

^ to make that Judaism point clearer, while the field of ‘Gender and Judaism’ is a relatively new field in gender studies, gender ambiguity and androgyny have been accepted as part of Judaic law for thousands of years.

I’m sorry but how is asking for a source being a dick? It’s not like they were saying you were wrong they were literally just asking for your source.

randomslasher

Sealioning is the name given to a specific, pervasive form of aggressive cluelessness, that masquerades as a sincere desire to understand.

People demanding that the oppressed defend themselves with sources when they could’ve done a 10-second google search on their own is not a sincere desire to understand, it’s an effort to undermine and dismiss the claims by casting doubt on them. Do not be fooled by people claiming they’re ‘just trying to understand’ when what they’re asking you to prove could’ve easily been verified in the same time it took them to reblog with their “source” demands. They do not want a source. They want to put the burden of labor on you to prove to them what they are never going to believe, no matter how many links you show them.
