what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

[fransu]

I'm italian and there's something that people defending this shit don't fucking understand.

they think the “Roman salute” is something unrelated to nazis or fascists but the “Roman Salute” IS the fascist salute. It's not a different concept, it's the same thing!! It's not "good" because it doesn't have the word "nazi" in it, It's the same shit.

And to people saying "He is throwing out his heart to the crowd" tell me if YOU would do it at a 45 degree angle with your thumb tucked in and your fingers closed together. Personally, a throwing motion in my imagination has your palm completely open and your fingers spaced out

Regardless, This is what propaganda is, They do bad thing and then they say "no it good actually" and the population goes "Ok then it's all good" it's not all good, They're making you think it is. It sucks

Politicians gain power through the Ignorance of the people, don't trust people just because "They said it"

I must not watch election coverage. Election coverage is the mind-killer. Election coverage is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will cast my vote. I will permit the result to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the election coverage has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I’m still thinking about that “is OSHA regulations Cop Behavior” post. Like. You know who thinks regulations are for losers? People who build submersibles out of logitech gamepads and rejected carbon fibre. People who trust starlink as their only surface lifeline.

Do you wanna be like the fine film on the floor of the Atlantic that was once a billionaire? Is that the hill you’re really gonna die on?

We have an expression in my field- “Regulations Are Written In Blood”

People don’t have fucking safety standards as a power trip, we have them because somewhere in the past, NOT having those regulations killed or maimed someone.

A lot of laws out there are bullshit- safety regulations sure as fuck aren’t. I have the literal scars to prove it.

[dreamlostdevourer]

Please please please remember that bosses and CEOs hate safety regulations.

Doing things safely cuts into their profits and lets workers survive long enough to learn.

If you're ever irritated at how long it takes to be safe?

Remember your bosses hate it twice as much!

Then be even safer.

Safety regulations are there because businesses see workers as expendable.

Uh, where's my none of the above option?

I pretended to be an Alicorn. I even gave a 2nd grade bully a bloody nose at the age of 5 because he was bullying my friend and I wanted to be the heroic Alicorn that saved her. So I tried to gore him.

And, well, his nose got in the way. And there was blood.

None of the teachers believed him until I belligerently said, why yes I DID headbutt him! But I hadn't intended to give him a bloody nose. :(

[someloudmouth]

To anyone considering not voting because of the Palestinian genocide, I have this to ask:

How many Palestinian people do you think you're helping by laying back and inviting the GOP to crush you under foot? Self flagellation didn't cure The Plague, and it won't fix this situation either.

If you don't like the idea of voting for Harris, I doubt I'll be able to change your mind, but consider this: 468 congressional seats out of a total 535 are up for re-election THIS NOVEMBER. You want to make the government start actually representing the will of the people? Start there.

We're living in frightening times, and apathy is a very comfortable state of being, but you need to act. If you don't, who will?

I love this. I, too, did not enter this life to suffer. lol

Also: I have heard that Nigerian food is amazing, but I have never had the opportunity to try it. One day, tho. It's on my bucket list. ♥

[prof-grace-aspen]

Putting this as a meme so maybe y'all will actually read it.

Held: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.

And this is why we cannot let Trump win another term: he now has complete immunity for any acts he "officially" performs as president. You thought he was bad before? Now he will have zero fear. He will do whatever he wants. And what he wants is outlined in Project 2025.

Conservative groups draw up plan to dismantle the US government and replace it with Trump’s vision

With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White

[who-do-i-know-this-man]

Actually fuck it. This is important enough to where it goes on the popular alt.

Voting still fucking matters! Cause not has Trump EXPLICITLY STATED that he will support the Palestinian genocide as much if not more then Biden, but he is also gonna pull this shit.

VOTE! PLEASE!

[endearingfascination]

AND. don’t forget that if trump wins again, two justices are likely to retire during the next four years, at which point we will have a 8-1 conservative majority. Voting blue will allow for the chance of a 5-4 liberal majority. Protect your community.

seeing middle-aged women online saying that kate middleton and the royals don’t own anyone an explanation is so weird. prefacing what i’m about to say by saying i’m against monarchies in the 21st century, but they do owe the british public an explanation. it is the british people who pay for her lifestyle. she is a figurehead for them. it’s like if joe biden got sick and was taking cancer treatment while being president; he would owe it to the american people to be forthcoming with this, because he is representing us. she is not just an individual, she is, first and foremost, a representative of the british as a whole, and she knew this when she married william. she gets to have a private life of course, but when it is the british public paying for her everything, she owes transparency. i think, also, the royal press handled the whole thing extremely badly and that’s why there’s such a hullabaloo regarding the situation.

[liadanswhisper]

No one - absolutely no one - ever owes you their medical diagnosis. No one.

No matter who they are. No matter what power they hold No matter how much you like or dislike them. No one. Medical conditions are private and neither you nor anyone else has a right to them. This is asinine.

By your logic, my employer has a right to my medical information because they fund my lifestyle. Get out of here with that bullshit.

[vinceaddams]

The Welsh Viking is pretty cool! 

[vinceaddams]

He’s going to run 5 kilometres in his viking armour on May 9th to raise money for Stonewall!

[vinceaddams]

Oh my goodness this is getting a lot of notes! Since I see posts on tumblr about how a lot of people seem to think all historians and archaeologists are crusty old bigots I’d just like to add that this guy is an archaeologist. A very vocally anti-racist archaeologist who goes out of his way to be as inclusive as possible to queer people.

[teratomarty]

Reblogging to watch later!

[fixyourwritinghabits]

Always get your historical facts from anti-racist archeologists.

[educatedsavage]

Wait, how’d the run go!?

[vinceaddams]

Oh gosh I forgot to update on that! It went well, he was sore and tired but no injuries, and he raised over 1700 pounds!

[ironwoman359]

Not to completely derail this post, but I’d also like to recommend Miniminuteman to anyone interested in history and archeology from a non bigoted source. He’s absolutely fantastic, his tiktok is essentially him just debunking bs conspiracy videos and he recently started making a youtube series called Awful Archaeology and there are only three episodes so far but they own my entire heart, it’s great.

Also Bernadette Banner, who is a edwardian/victorian fashion historian who does everything from reconstruction work, educational videos and debunking historical fashion myths, to more fun stuff like rating historical drama costumes or recreating Wheel of Time outfits.

And these are just the two I’m most familiar with right now, there are SO many great historians and archeologists and anthropologists out there who have a passion for their field and want to share that knowledge while ALSO being great, humble people who stand up against bigotry, racism, and all the historical lies that come with. I’m falling deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole of historical content every week, and I’m loving every minute of it.

[augustdementhe]

This post got me to watch Jimmy’s channel, and I ADORE it AND him, and I’m very thankful. 

[robinade]

I also want to recommend Tasting History with Max Miller, who is a food historian and excellent at pointing out when things in the past were racist or classist. He even had a recent Da Vinci video talking about checking sources and the importance of acknowledging when you get information wrong.

Also the Townsends, are reenactors that talk about food and culture and lifestyle of the 16-1700s of the colonial USA. They make a point of bringing in women and people of color regularly to talk about what those days were like for more than just white guys!

[genderkoolaid]

Someone in the notes might have added her but also check out NotYourMommasHistory aka Cheyney McKnight. She’s a Black reenactor who has made a few videos on what a day was like in the lives of enslaved people or free black people, as well as historical racism in general. She also has a website where you can book her for a lecture!

We are being harassed and murdered.

Kids don't need protection from the rainbow, we need protection from those who want to end our lives and limit our freedom.

Nex Benedict's death is a tragedy. They were harassed, assaulted, and murdered for what was only a fraction of who they are as a person. Nex should be alive. My heart goes out to Nex, their loved ones, and everyone else who has suffered.

Nex Benedict, the world failed you.

"We keep making our service worse, cancelling shows before their time, hiking up the prices, and generally ruining what once was a decent product--piracy keeps wining somehow. 🤷"

[liadanswhisper]

You keep raising prices, cancelling shows we want to watch, making the service worse and generally making it a pain in the ass to even enjoy your product.

Yeah. Some of us remember what the world was like before you showed up and we're not afraid to go back to flying our pirate flags.
