Feminism is really good but super radical tumblr feminism is gross, counterproductive, and hateful

New study projects a stunning drop in 2018 millennial voter turnout in battleground states

The 2016 presidential election — and its outcome — may have given plenty of Americans a new sense of urgency when it comes to civics.

But a new study projects that 40 million Americans who voted last year will likely not show up at the polls for the 2018 midterms.

And that two-thirds of those “drop-off” voters will be millennials, unmarried women and people of color.

The report, just out from the Voter Participation Center and Lake Research Partners, “Comparing the Voting Electorate in 2012-2016 and Predicting 2018 Drop-off,” notes that many of those expected not to cast a ballot next year live in key battleground states like Arizona, Nevada, Florida and Ohio.

Young people in America, REGISTER TO VOTE AND GET TO THE POLLS NEXT YEAR

THIS MATTERS

YOUR VOTE MATTERS SO MUCH OKAY

Just look at the difference young people getting out and voting made in the UK general election this year…young voters CAN make a POSITIVE DIFFERENCE by getting out and voting 

And I know this isn’t a presidential election but it is in some ways EVEN MORE IMPORTANT

Because the president can’t do anything without congress and the senate on his side…but likewise, if the Republicans get a majority it means it will be easier for that disgusting sack of stinking dog-vomit Donald Trump and his party of traitors and criminals to push through the DISGUSTING things they want to try and inflict on the country and its people

Get out and vote democrat next year and keep the Republicans from getting a blank check to try and push through their bigoted, evil bullshit

[mikkeneko]

I’m pretty sure the biggest barrier to young people voting isn’t not caring, it’s not knowing.

Am I registered? Shit, who knows? I’ve moved five times in the last four years. I think I registered, but that was a year ago, did I change districts since then? Where even are the polling places in this town? What are their hours? I know I submitted a registration, but did they get it? I didn’t get a confirmation. Did they lose my form? Am I even eligible? Who knows? Oh well, I’m sure I can always register in the days leading up to the – whoops, there’s a deadline and it’s already gone by.

This is one of those civic skills that you would really think would be taught in high school, and – surprise! – it isn’t.

So here’s how to check which district you’re in and who your rep is.

Here’s how to find out if you’re registered.

Here are the deadlines for when to register.

Here’s how to register, if it turns out you’re not.

Here’s how to find local polling places.

Of course, all of this – in the way of Tumblr, and the internet more generally – will be lost to the vagaries of cyberspace by the time November rolls around. So hey: tag it with “voting reference” and you’ll always be able to find it again.

Boosting because us Millenials are nothing but fueled by spite, and blowing this projection out of the water would be delicious

[labelleizzy]

Reblogging because us Gen Xers grew up in the last shadow of nuclear war and I keep having flashbacks… Please vote. Even just pick the few offices that matter most to you, please stay engaged and let’s make this mess a little bit better.

The men who cover Washington’s politics have a greater audience than their female peers, and largely use that audience to talk to, and amplify the voices of, other men.

It literally only took Professor Utonium sugar, spice, and everything nice (plus an accidental dose of chemical X) to preform human transmuation, so I dunno why Ed Elric’s child prodigy ass couldn’t do it.

I’M LAUGHING SO HARD TEA CAME UP MY NOSE

[ham4harrypotter-blog]

Way too many parents need to learn the difference between “a child being disrespectful” and “a human person expressing an opinion that differs from theirs”

[jumpingjacktrash]

my mom had a nice technique for this. when i’d give her sass, she’d say, “i don’t speak rude, what’s that in polite-person-ese?”

basically, she’d encourage me to rephrase my opinion without the attitude. so “UGH, you NEVER let me do ANYTHING!” would (often after quite a bit of bitching and grumbling) turn into “it feels like every time i have a fun idea, you say no, and i just end up sitting around the house.”

and at that point we could troubleshoot like civilized people. she could explain that she didn’t want me to go to jimmy’s sleepover because jimmy’s dad creeps her out, and i could suggest maybe i could have andy over instead, and she could say sure, why not call peter and stacy and brianna and have your own party, i’ll pop some popcorn and rent a movie, and i could add what if we put up tents in the back yard and have a bonfire and roast marshmallows, and she could laugh and say don’t push it.

[hermioneindisguise]

I really like this technique because it addresses the OPs comment but recognizes that the two can coexist. The problem is often the child is expressing their opinion in a rude or disrespectful way. And as humans we automatically become adverse to opinions we feel are aggressive toward us.

[tsvitok]

Downvoted on a story on HF, what even is this life we lead. I wonder what upset them. futa? breeding? yuri?

[neonstreetstyle]

Whenever I see downvotes on porn / primarily nsfw sites, I like to imagine (for example) an 80-year-old nun trying to look up the words to some obscure prayer (or whatever nuns look up on the internet) and getting catastrophically lost, and then being so overcome with shock that they have to go around watching videos so they can downvote them (because downvoting without watching first would be impolite and dishonest).  And then the head nun comes in looking for a spare rosary polisher (or whatever random object nuns have laying around their nun houses), and halfway through asking notices the screen and shrieks in horror / repressed sexuality, and then after many hilariously awkward developments the computer is burned at the stake, the room exorcised and the entire convent marched off to confession.  

[criticalrolequotesandstuff]

And if you’re afraid of the power Trump already wields, hear this: if we don’t show up in the midterms, the Republicans could get a supermajority in the Senate. That means no ability to filibuster. No recourse. No way to stop them.

We’ve got to make sure the blue states stay blue and try to turn some of those red states blue as well. Don’t count your state out just because it usually votes Republican. Historically, midterms have way lower turnouts than presidential election years. So lets actually show up this time and do some damage.

Oh, and one hopeful note, all the House seats are up for reelection. So let’s take that shit away from Donald Trump and his Republican Party. 

[grilledcheesd]

Also, remember to vote in local elections! Keep track of when they are, the candidates, and make sure you stay informed on local and state politics. We have to show up in 2018, and at every. Single. Thing.

[luciferissatan]

I dont like adding things but this needs to be said: DO NOT ASSUME THAT THERE WILL BE A HIGH DEMOCRATIC TURNOUT. Do not think that “oh EVERYONE else will show up to vote, I dont have to” Do not do that. Because trust me you wouldn’t be the only person thinking that. Now, if everyone assumes it’ll be a high turn out so they dont go, then nobody goes. Assume always that your vote will be the tipping point, assume that your vote is necessary and needed (because guess what: it absolutely is). Go vote. Keep track of the dates. And just go do it.

[elljayvee]

Register to vote. Check that you’re registered even if you think you are, even if you (like me) have voted in every election since you were old enough to do so. And then do it.

If you can, volunteer to drive people to the polls.

[tzikeh]

Re: luciferissatan’s comment – 100% correct – even more correct is that midterms’ low voter turnout? Is because Dems skip the midterms. More Republicans go to the polls for midterm elections, historically, than Democrats.

IF YOU STAY HOME, REPUBLICANS WILL WIN. END OF.

Your social justice should be founded on love for others, not on a desire to be the most visibly enlightened.

[neonstreetstyle]

Addendum: If the only real & effective social justice you can muster runs on other people’s praise, that’s still ok.  We’d like people to do good things out of pure altruism (mostly because it makes a better story, and we are storytelling chimpanzees), but a genuinely good deed is still a net positive no matter what the reasons behind it.  Our enemies in this fight are the assholes who want to kill people for playing with the wrong combination of sex organs, or having the wrong skin color, or wearing the wrong clothes, or eating the wrong food, or voting for the wrong politician, or worshipping the wrong set of fairy-tale-sky-wizard-superheroes, or some other petty, pointless non-issue, and the world is filthy with them.  If the only way you can bring yourself to fight those assholes is by having other people praise you for doing it, then so be it.  People who criticize activism as “performative” are both missing the point and hurting their cause.

FYI this is literally from an episode where Lois and Clark fight actual Nazis. That little punk was a NAZI working undercover at The Daily Planet.

This was like 1995.

Not that it should be in question at all but Superman and his wife fucking hate Nazis. They hate them. If you are a Nazi sympathizer, Superman hates you.

[drownedinlight]

Also, just in case you’re distinguishing yourself, Superman also hates the KKK. 

[damianmcgintleman]

superman was created by two jewish men. like i feel that’s an important thing missing from this post. there’s a lot of analysis out there that showcases superman exploring judaic themes. nazi newspapers denounced superman and his creators. jack kirby and joe simon (captain america), bob kane (batman), stan lee (god, how do you boil him down to one iconic creation?), joe schuster and jerry siegel (superman), will eisner (the spirit) — all were jewish. and like i’ll delete this comment if i’m swerving out of my lane as someone who isn’t jewish, but i feel like it’s important to note that mainstream comics were created by jewish people and that “superman hates nazis” is not something to say without giving historical context. superman isn’t just some nazi-fighting ally fantasy from people who probably wouldn’t actually call out antisemitism — let alone fight it — but who want to look like they’re actually doing something with empty threats; superman is, by existing and thriving, actively fighting antisemetic ideas and white supremacy. he is one of the most important pop culture characters in the world and his origins are judaic, and i think it’s a great disservice to not inform people about this so they don’t get to think they’re equal to superman when they reblog a post saying “punch nazis” but never bother to actually do or say anything when they’re confronted with white supremacy and antisemitism and the influences of both in their lives. i don’t want to talk over jewish people, so i’ll totally delete this comment if it seems like i am. but i just wanted to take a moment to rant because i love comics and i see people excluding the origins of this industry and its creators so often in the community.

[tikkunhayam]

@damianmcgintleman yes!! You explained it perfectly! And its really important that you did. We need non-Jews to speak up and speak out about this stuff too. There’s an unfortunate mentality where non-Jews will avoid speaking up against antisemitism, but that helps nobody (except perhaps, the people who want to continue to alienate and hurt the Jewish people), so yes, you speaking up about the fact that numerous superheroes were the way that Jews* got to fight back.

*special mention to Jack Kirby, creator of Captain America, who could, would and did beat the shit out of Nazi scum whenever given the opportunity

[leupagus]

oh my god IT’S TRUE

[megkips]

fate otps and pairings you dislike?

I am very ambivalent about shipping on a whole, and there’s no real otp that has my absolute enthusiasm in Fate/.  Probably the closest you get is the fact that I am forever annoyed that fandom hasn’t done anything involving Rider, Roxanna, and Hephaestion - in part because I’m biased and like seeing the historical aspects of servants, but also in part because I really just need Rider belting out Roxanne while Roxanna punches his arm and Hephaestion stares like he’s in an episode of the Office and won’t someone please make them stop.Dislikes are probably easier.  Gil and Saber for the usual reasons, Rider and Waver makes me uncomfortable because Waver’s probably not emotionally mature enough in F/z for a sexual relationship, Kayneth and Waver because of the teacher and sudent power dynamics, never mind Kayneth’s bullying, and you know, honestly, it’s just best to assume that I want more friendship stuff than romantic stuff, and roll from there.

Ask to be deleted in a day or so.
