What are This?

Mostly just the fandoms and stuff I'm interested in (Anime, Supernatural, Avengers, Cats....yep...) plus some writing advice that I need for myself lol Please feel free to follow if you like anything :)

Good stuff.

Guys, I edit professionally. This list is legit. Incorporating these suggestions before you hire an editor will save you A LOT of money. Even if you did these and nothing else, you’d see significant overall improvement in your work.

That said, you don’t have to overthink these things when you’re writing a first draft. If you write, “she said angrily” in a first draft, you can always revisit the phrasing in a second draft. I mention this because overthinking style can lead to a loss of momentum, and losing momentum is why so many people never finish a draft. Give yourself permission to write fast, write messy or ugly, and edit your draft into beauty later.

A former US Intel Offical resigned today citing a years of study on authoritarian governments and the similarities in his current US boss’ method.

And when Rachel Maddow asked what can we do to stop him. And he said register to vote, and actually vote. He said a big turn out is the recurring theme that has pushed the hand of authoritians to either flee or give up power.

He said the difference between Trump of 2016 and 2020 is 1) federal police for local protests and crimes 2) targeting the post office’s ability to facilitate a fair election.

Several other intel people have cited the fear that Trump will use the military to stay in power. I know there’s plenty who want to say ‘fuck the system, let it burn’ but there needs to be a manidate to prove that change is wanted by the people. We need to keep the wheels on the train so we don’t lose disabled lives in the process. If you think voting is useless, vote so if we have to have a revolution in 2021 you have all those voters proving the country’s will is behind you.

the USPS is now REMOVING MAIL SORTING MACHINES. the shit is hitting the fan. i need to reiterate that signing petitions or texting a number that sends an email isn’t going to cut it. dont send complaints to louis dejoy’s office or any bullshit like that. don’t waste your time. people who live in the US need to CALL their Senators and House reps. you need to post about this constantly. you need to make a big deal about this with friends and family. get them do it too.

if you want to save the USPS i am BEGGING you call your representatives directly to DEMAND they co-sponsor and vote for:

1. the Delivering for America Act (call HOUSE reps). This attempts to reverse the bullshit Trump is doing.

A new bill aimed at reversing organizational and structural changes undertaken at the United States Postal Service by the new postmaster gen

2. USPS Fairness Act (call SENATORS). This is a MAJOR repeal of the bullshit the Bush admin and the Republicans did in 2006 that fucked over the USPS in the first place.

Another day, another politician that thinks Trump doing something they do means Trump should get all the criticism instead of realizing they’re both wrong

[lobothebuilder]

The difference here is that Trump spends tax payer money for his golfing and AOC spent her own paycheck on a video game to unwind. They literally aren’t the same thing at all

[sir-caramel-blog-deactivated202]

Right, where do you think that paycheck comes from?

[kineticpenguin]

Were you born this stupid or did you have to work at it?

[sir-caramel-blog-deactivated202]

Ok, just to be clear, do politicians get payed with tax money or not?

[kineticpenguin]

If you honestly think a government employee spending their own salary is functionally identical to charging leisure trips to your own golf courses to an expense account and billing the Secret Service for being there, just because they’re both paid for with taxpayer money, I can’t help you.

[sir-caramel-blog-deactivated202]

But what’s the difference in the end? They both paid for something with taxpayer money.

[kineticpenguin]

Okay. It’s very simple: When the government disburses money to its employees in the form of a salary, the transaction where the taxpayer is concerned is concluded. The taxpayer has paid the employee for services rendered. What that employee does with that salary after that isn’t the taxpayer’s business, since the taxpayer already got what they paid for.

To put it another way, you wouldn’t argue that Doris from the DMV is “spending taxpayer money” when she spends some of her salary on a pedicure and claim it’s the equivalent of a presidential golfing trip, or that a soldier buying a case of beer with his salary is a waste of tax money. Because you are paying them for the job they did.

In other words, it’s not fucking taxpayer money anymore.

It is, however, still taxpayer money when it is part of an account set aside for expenses incurred in the execution of one’s duties, and the President uses it to pay himself for taking vacations, and to pay himself again for the taxpayer-provided security detail.

And even if I were to play your stupid false equivalence game: At $300 per console and a game price of $59.99, AOC would have to buy 369,455 Nintendo Switches with a copy of Animal Crossing: New Horizons for each to reach the $133 million racked up by Trump’s golf trips. So even if you were to blubber about how it’s all a tragic loss of taxpayer money either way, there’s your fucking difference you goddamn moron.

We’re done here.

Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries.

Brave Black Woman Stands Alone Against Hundreds Of Neo-Nazis

“It was an impulse. I was so angry, I just went out into the street,” Asplund told the Guardian. “I was thinking: ‘hell no, they can’t march here!’ I had this adrenaline. No Nazi is going to march here, it’s not okay.”

The paper reported that Asplund stands just 5’2” and weighs about 110 pounds — yet she stood in the path of some 300 marching neo-Nazis, one of whom shoved her out of the way.

Register to Vote — Vote.Gov

Apply for absentee ballot. — Let’s ace this.

[replublicans-are-nazi-pigs]

Most states allow you to drop off a sealed ballot at the Clerk's Office if you prefer. Some have drop boxes at their office for ballots (and other official business).

Call your local clerk's office for more information. If allowed, by-pass traitorous dirty donnie diaper-pant's attempts to delay the result.

[fuckyeahasexual]

And for the love of god, please don’t spread posts that “claim the election is in October because USPS delays.”

1. DO REQUEST AND TURN THAT SHIT IN ASAP

2. Don’t panic if you get your ballot late or something else stopped you from voting early many states have:

One or more locations to drop your ballot off by hand. Either dedicated boxes around your town, a voting station, or clerk’s office.

These options will allow you to turn your ballot as late as 8 pm on Election Day. But do make it easy on yourself and turn it in early.

3. Some states allow you to request ballots up until Nov 2nd. However plan to need 4 weeks round trip to accommodate the cuts to hours of the postal workers themselves.

4. Seven states now, some as recently as recently as Aug 3rd are shifting to mailing everyone registered a ballot. Check what your state is doing, and ask your Governor do adopt that plan if it hasn’t.

5. Double check you are registered at your current address. They can’t send your a ballot if your address isn’t wrong or if you aren’t on the voter roll anymore.

Also omg the census has been widely under filled out this year. Please do this as well.

daniel radcliffe calling out j.k. rowling on her bullshit is big dick energy

[wakingfromthewater]

One thing I have not seen mentioned in light of this statement, perhaps because it’s just well known or perhaps because it’s been forgotten, is that Radcliffe has dealt with this before. About 10 years ago his friendship with a trans musician named Our Lady J became known to the tabloids. They immediately published sensational articles calling her a transvestite and a drag queen (she was not), and speculating about the nature of their relationship. He responded to insinuating questions by simply being aggressively positive about what a great musician and good friend she was. They did at least one interview together for a queer magazine. This at a time when trans people were even more marginalized than now, and when he as an actor was finishing Harry Potter and under a lot of pressure to ~manage his image~ as he transitioned to an adult career.

TL;DR - Radcliffe has a record of not just saying nice things, but supporting trans people in his life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY JAMES POTTER! (b. July 31st, 1980)

[missmentelle]

To everyone who is going out to the protests across the United States, especially in Portland, please remember:

1. Never talk to the cops. It doesn’t matter if you want to explain your side of the story, tell them off, or try to convince them to let you go. Say nothing. It’s almost impossible to talk yourself out of criminal charges. It’s very easy to talk yourself into them. Say. Nothing. 

2. If you are arrested, clearly say the words “I am invoking my right to silence, and I am invoking my right to a lawyer. I will not speak to you without a lawyer present.”. Ambiguous statements like “I think I need a lawyer” or “gimme a lawyer” have historically not held up in court. State very clearly that you are invoking your right to an attorney and will not answer questions without one. This is the only thing you will say, over and over again. 

3. Seriously, don’t talk to the cops. Saying that you are invoking your right to remain silent does not mean the cops have to stop questioning you. If you say that you are remaining silent, it’s up to you to actually remain silent. They will try very hard to get you to talk even after you’ve stated that you will be silent, and if they succeed, your words will be held against you. 

4. Do not lie to the cops. Lying to authorities is a felony. Best way to avoid lying? Say absolutely nothing. 

5. Take the biometric locks off your phone. If your phone can be unlocked with your face or fingerprint, police can force you to unlock your phone for them. If it opens only with a passcode or password, they cannot compel you to unlock the phone without a warrant. 

6. Livestream interactions with the cops, don’t just film with the camera app. Make sure all interactions with the cops are filmed, and make sure that the footage is being sent somewhere where it cannot be deleted or destroyed by police. 

7. Make sure that someone knows you are out protesting, and that this person knows your full legal name, date of birth, and what time to expect you home. If you are arrested, your loved ones will need this information to find you in the system. Don’t assume that your friends know your DOB and full legal name - send a picture of your ID to a trusted person who will not be protesting and let them know to start looking for you if you don’t check in a set time. Some protesters have also begun shouting this information as they are being arrested so other protesters can record it. 

8. Get the information for a pro-bono lawyer in your area and write it on your body. Several lawyers and firms have offered to defend anyone arrested at the protests for free. Write down the information of a free legal service on your body with permanent marker before you go to protest, ideally in a location like your shin or forearm where you won’t sweat it off - keeping the number in your phone is not helpful if your phone is confiscated, dead or damaged. 

9. Stay as safe as you can. Bring water and snacks, wear sunscreen, bring bus fare, wear your mask and take rests in the shade if it gets hot out. Bring a portable charger or backup battery if you have one, and make sure your phone is charged so you can film interactions with the police. Look out for your fellow protesters, and let other protesters know right away if you are injured or in need of assistance. Do whatever you can to make it back home safe.  Black Lives Matter.

This is really not okay.

I think some people fail to realize that men can be sexually assaulted, too, and not just by other men. This girl shoves him against the wall and slaps him three fucking times when he pushes her away. Heck, he has to push her away twice before she backs off for a moment. Then she goes right back to kissing him.

If the genders were reversed, everyone on this site would be flipping a shit. And if anyone dares to tell me that it’s different when a girl does it to a guy, I will personally write you a three-page essay on why it is still not okay.

[irishily]

I’m just going to REBLOG this all the fucking time

[thatspencerinthesky]

I SWEAR I WILL ALWAYS REBLOG THIS.

[peoniespoppiesandowlsohmy]

This is not okay. Gender does not matter. Forcing someone will never be okay. Never.

[helly-watermelonsmellinfellon]

She hits him and still thinks she’ll get some? Abusive AND dumb!

[z7rkive]

If you see this post then you need to STOP SCROLLING because you can look at the cute cat pictures later. REBLOG and spread the word because this is VERY IMPORTANT. Everyone should be aware that forcing someone and making them do things without their consent is wrong regardless of their gender.

[lovely-lesions]

It’s important to realize men are not the only preditors. Men can always be the victim, and women can always be the abuser.

[colorsofsocialjustice]

She grabs his genitals at least three times as well during all this, so yeah, that makes multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault and with the slapping, multiple counts of assault, but the system is so biased against men that this wouldn’t even go to court.
