jungkook is so effortlessly beautiful…. bro he's breathtaking
i bought my idiot sons a new toy because they are my darling princes who deserve only the finest dangly feathers on sticks and tomas is as always being a chill lad about it but kaspar has absolutely lost his fucking mind. utterly convinced that some sort of unkillable demon bird has entered his home. the man has gone full liam neeson re: the dangly feathers. i wiggle the stick a bit and he goes totally black in the eyes, hisses, growls, acrobatic fuckin pirouettes off the handle this cat. absolutely twisted with terrible rage when the beast (cannot emphasize enough: some feathers on a string) does not stay dead. van helsing energy. this cat would fully be performing the monologue from the end of Moby Dick if he knew what English was. i eventually hid the toy because I was growing to fear what my boy had become and he scanned the fuckin skies for it for at least ten minutes, which is twenty times longer than I thought his memory even lasted. this is a beast who will SCREAM for cuddles and insist on being kissed forty-seven times on his tiny head before even considering letting you get some work done but also, to each generation a Slayer is born, APPARENTLY
by popular demands: photographic evidence of the beasts, a) in repose
and and b) genuinely the least blurry image available of Murder Mode ™, captured at great risk to the photographer
THIS. WE ARE FUCKING TRYING, EITHER HELP OUT OR SHUT YOUR SMUG ASS
“Just move” oh damn wow look at mickey millionaire over here with the ability to move entire jobs and support networks, incredible
here’s the “places you want to move to” triangle. if you’re LUCKY, you can only pick 2. if you’re unlucky, you can’t pick ANY:
like, okay, I currently live in a city that is a tiny blue dot in the middle of a DEEPLY red ocean. My city is incredibly progressive politically! It’s got a thriving queer community, a lot of people of color live here, we are generally as much as you can ask from any southern city. BUT. We are beholden to the state laws. That deeply red ocean does not care how much of the state’s population is concentrated in this one blue dot, because that’s how gerrymandering and electoral college representation work! Ok, so why don’t I move? Well…. Let’s look at my options. City A, located in Arkansas: Smaller city with lower cost of living; I have loved ones there, and I could currently afford housing there at my pay rate. HOWEVER: they’re in the exact same boat we are. Progressive city in a regressive state, beholden to state laws and other miserable things that stack the deck against a blue dot in a red state. City B, located in : One of the BIG “progressive” cities that everyone thinks of as a hub of queer and socially aware people, on the other side of the country. Guaranteed to have laws protecting queer people, reproductive rights, etc. I have family members living there, so I’d have a good starting point to settle in. However…. Unbelievably, absurdly, ridiculously, UNETHICALLY expensive to live in. My family members living there are an attorney and a programmer and live in a one bedroom apartment. Is literally known for how there are an abundance of well-paying tech jobs… that still don’t pay enough to cover rent in the city proper.
And for extra bonus, City C, located in Texas: Known as the hub of queer and creative people in the state, I have friends and family there, seems like a rich and vivid culture- but has neither a better political situation nor affordable housing so I would BOTH be unable to pay rent AND stuck in a city struggling their hardest against state laws built for discrimination and oppression.
It isn’t by any means AT ALL that there aren’t places in the South that are hubs of progress, culture and diversity; in fact, those places form because we carve out little niches of culture and use our votes and our voices to control things on a city level to protect ourselves. But anything above the city level is stacked above our ability to control. I vote! I vote in local, state, AND federal elections! We elect democratic mayors and judges and school board representatives! But once you leave the immediate radius of my city, we do not have the power to do much more than that. And going elsewhere does not solve these problems, if it’s even an option at all. Half of the housing crises in my city are caused by people moving from elsewhere in the state because their rent is too expensive and they are fleeing to somewhere cheaper. It’s driving rent up here. It’s part of gentrification. It’s driving people out of this city and into others, which is only going to perpetuate the same problem.
I want to wrap this up neatly and nicely, but I’m, tired, and angry, and I hate seeing people continually insist that everyone should just miraculously leave the south and just…. go pay for one of their $3,500/month Silicon Valley studio apartments or whatever.
ok so i made the mistake of standing on the beach in the dark and listen…….. listen. there is nothing that cares about you less than the ocean in the dead of night. it is tangible. you can’t fuckin see a thing. there is no horizon. it’s a ceaseless void and she cares for no one and loves nothing. you have to respect her bcs she clearly has no fuckin love for you and if she wanted she could take you and NO ONE WOULD KNOW
#ngl I felt this when we were crossing the mountains into and out of California#i felt it in my *soul*: ‘These mountains EAT people–and are as indifferent about that as my own teeth are about chewing’#it was the strongest prey-fear I’d ever felt in my life
I swear I felt my brain twist while I stared at this and tried to follow a particular segment.
That is SO COOL I’ve never seen one moving before!
Ohhh, three sided Mobius strip.

This is Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy and fault.
Don't forget Obama, who in 2008 had the chance to codify the Right to Choose act (which was one of his campaign promises) but didn't.
Don't forget when Democrats stood around and let Republicans postpone the appointment of a new supreme court justice until Trump was in office.
Don't forget when the leak happened and they voted to protect Supreme Court Justices from protestors.
Democrats will try to blame this on Republicans and the Evangelical Fascist Right. But they're guilty too. They stood by and watched, hoping to use this as campaign fodder in the Midterms.
Friendly reminder that this blog is pro-choice and if you don’t think everyone should have full control of their own body, then kindly unfollow me right now and go to hell
to my fellow usamericans….in light of the supreme court overturning roe v wade, well known organizations like planned parenthood dont need your money right now - they have plenty - if you’re going to donate, donate to your local or state abortion funds
the national network of abortion funds allows you to split your donation between 91 abortion funds in the united states - it lists every fund your donation goes to and allows you to customize the amount you give to each fund
hey if y’all can please donate to the carolina abortion fund. nc is one of few states in the southeast to not currently be planning bans on abortions. we’re gonna be absolutely swamped from people in the southeast seeking safe abortions but there’s only so many people with so much funding that can help. ill reblog with the link.
oh and btw if you're not aware Thomas has stated (very clearly) that they are coming for:
Griswold (contraception)
Lawrence (same-sex sexual intercourse)
Obergefell (gay marriage)
It’s like wake up eat breakfast look into your phone to be blasted with non stop terrible news that makes you want to die go to your job eat lunch receive more news that makes you want to die etc.

The New York Times is tracking abortion laws in each state following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
This country claims to be democratic but 9 unelected people who's values and opinions formed decades prior, who can get into this position without strong or even any valid credentials, can decide to negatively impact or even destroy millions of lives and they cannot be held accountable for it. They can't be impeached or voted out. It's only the most convoluted combination of election-year voting, voter suppression/lack thereof, and idk fucking cowardice from both sides that got any of them to where they are now. 9 people who are cemented in their beliefs and then use the law and constitution to justify their moral opinions that they insist don't influence their rulings at all. We can't vote then out. We just have to hope they retire or die under the presidency of someone who doesn't want to actively kill everything, and eve then we have to contend with any given republican or spineless Democrat in the Senate.
And even then, we cannot get rid of them. Nine people make decisions for 300+ million, affecting their ability to defend themselves, to live peacefully, to lead healthy and happy and safe lives. Nine people can ruin lives for decades to come.
Nine people. Nine. People.
