I dunno I mean I knew a lot of Americans were against it but I assumed they were all elitist right wing weirdos.

What's the mainstream left wing position then if it's not socialism?

[demilypyro]

Oh

Oh no

[grandalchemistpt]

Your first warning sign should have been when they called the Bismark Model of healthcare, literally named after the nationalist monarchist and noble statesman who invented it, far left.

I don’t know how to explain to people that, in any other country, Biden would be a conservative and somehow most Americans have been convinced he’s a commie.

[aqueerkettleofish]

This has been the product of right-wing effort over decades.

People like Ann Coulter, for example, didn't used to be part of the mainstream conversation. Her job was to get out there and say absolutely whacked out shit. And then "right wing" politicians could say "Oh, no, I disagree with Ann Coulter that we should put teenaged drug offenders in labor camps and feed them bread and water, I just think we aren't trying enough teenagers as adults" and they would sound more reasonable.

The TEA Party? They had some of their fringe members co-opt an existing grass-roots organization and drag it to the far-right so they could have political cover for their less extreme positions.

Of course, the double-edged sword is that they gave too much power and attention to the whackjobs, and now the lunatics are running the asylum.

I promise you, I beg of you all, shutting the fuck up and stepping away from social media to actually educate yourself about a crisis event from reputable sources will always be SO much more productive than blindly reblogging/retweeting fearmongering misinformation-riddled posts and literal military donation links from anonymous people on the internet.

This is all way more important than you’d think. Russia is leading a post-truth disinformation campaign designed to obscure what they’re doing (even arguing that Ukraine is invading Russia!) so being as accurate as you can be is already a form of resistance

i hate this weird sense of internalized queerphobia of like. being visibly and really loudly queer is somehow immature and childish and one day you'll grow up and fall into cishet line and stop

[dysaniadisorder]

#conforming is not synonymous with maturity

I love you so much for saying this

My best friend loves rob pattinson and over the years she sent me a lot of articles/quotes of him, so here are some of my favourites

(there is A LOT more, this man is INSANE)

Bonus:

[cipheramnesia]

Somewhere along the line Pattinson figured out the celebrity interview was 95% bullshit social contract with zero penalty associated with breaking it and ever since then he's turned them into his own personal postmodern entertainment project. I appreciate him for it.

Help the National Black Doll Museum Reopen | LaunchGood

Black history matters. The National Black Doll Museum was forced to shut down in 2020 due to the coronavirus. Help us relocate and reopen!

BLACK HISTORY ACTION ITEM: POST DATED 12 FEBRUARY 2022

The National Black Doll Museum had to shut down due to Covid in 2020. They were hoping to reopen this year, but they've lost their physical building.

They've found a place that's like "hell yeah, we want the National Black Doll Museum! We have land we're literally looking to develop for cultural improvement and preservation!" in Attleboro, MA. But to make that happen, they need $1.5 million dollars for a building. Their collection dates back to the 1700s, and dolls that old will need special lighting, climate control, knowledgeable curators, etc. to help preserve them--plus of course they need staff, display cases, you know, stuff. They want to crowdfund the first $100k this February to make that happen. As of the date of this post, they have 16 days to go and have raised only $27,435. While the minimum donation listed is $25, I checked--it is actually possible to make a lower donation if you only have $5 or $10 to spare. (There's a custom screen after you select your donation level.)

All too often, when we discuss history at large we cut out the part of women and girls--preserving dolls is part of preserving that history. And all too often when we discuss Black history in America, we kind of go "they were slaves and then they weren't" and ignore that while they were slaves, they were also people, and that their existence was commodified beyond just being cheap labor. (And that there were free Black people, and that those people were also taken advantage of, and and and....)

Let's celebrate Black history. Let's celebrate Black play. Let's celebrate Black women and children. Let's celebrate the visibility of Black people, as people, for 300 years.

Let's get this museum's doors OPEN AGAIN!
