Dear everyone who says “Oh it doesn’t matter who I vote for, Trump will never win”… it does matter. It absolutely does matter.
Britain gave in to the racist and xenophobic rhetoric. And the consequences to the EU - and to the world at large - will be catastrophic.
I don’t care if you hate Hillary. I don’t care if you think Hillary killed your cat and stole your yogurt. I don’t care. You have to vote for her. You HAVE to vote for her. You cannot allow a megalomaniac racist piece of shit like Donald Trump become the President of the United States of America.
Do not give in to fear and hatred. Do not allow xenophobia and bigotry to run this nation. Do not. Do not. Do not.
I never thought I’d see the day where a nation like Great Britain allowed hatred and fear to rule. Don’t let that happen here.
Also, because I’m seeing this suggestion in the comments, DO NOT write in Bernie. As much as it sucks (and boy does it suck), in order to ensure Trump doesn’t end up in the White House, we have to unite together and vote for Hillary. Writing in Bernie’s name (or Gary Johnson’s) will do nothing but split the vote.
It’s the lesser of two evils here kids. I always knew I’d vote Bernie in the primaries but that I’d have to vote Clinton in November. If you write in Bernie, you are basically voting for Trump.
Please gods, my actual home country is going to shit, don’t let my adopted country do the same.
I’m sorry, but there’s so much wrong with this. To claim that all leave voters are xenophobic and racist is just wrong. A lot of people have their reasons, myself included, for wanting to leave the EU and not one of them included a dislike for foreigners. In no way am I prejudice against foreigners or immigrants. My issue, and most other people’s is that there are far too many of them in our country. Britain is the land of the British by right. For foreigners to be here, asylum seekers or otherwise, is a privilege. Charity starts at home and for a group of countries that can barely help their own people, it makes very little sense to take in even more. Sometimes you have to prioritise and yeah, it’s a tough decision, but sometimes you have to help yourself first before you can help everyone else.
Except the facts about preventing refugees and foreigners, from coming into the UK were not at all feasible. Daniel Hannan has already back tracked on his claims of being able to stop refugees and migrants coming into the country, because in order to have ANY sort of trade relations with Europe, there will need to be certain stipulations in place, such as the free flow of labor which, you guessed it, means having foreigners in the country. So basically, unless Britain intends to shut borders COMPLETELY and become ENTIRELY self sufficient, ain’t shit gonna happen about having “too many foreigners”. Which…wow. You know I know you say you don’t have racist views but uh…I hate to break it to you….
No, you don’t understand. This is absolutely heartbreaking, 64% of 18-24 year olds voted to keep Britain in Europe, we didn’t want a future that was exclusionary and isolated. We have been dragged out of Europe by our xenophobic grandparents. We’ve been dragged out of Europe by people who aren’t going to have to deal with the consequences. The economy is crashing, the pound has reached a thirty one year low. And we will be hit the hardest. University fees will go up. The cost of living will go up. We’re already in a housing crisis. We didn’t vote for this.
Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.
Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.
Isaac Asimov.
yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point
If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels
Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it
even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?
PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame
And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.
Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:
Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.
Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.
You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.
Got that?
Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it
I have literally been telling people this for over a year.
the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman
The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).
The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.

Before you newer kpop fans call BoA a “has-been” (and yes, I have literally seen newer kpop fans post-2010 call her a has-been) remember this: your faves would NOT have been able to perform in Japan if it wasn’t for BoA (and later DBSK). She, quite literally, single-handedly conquered the Japanese music industry ALONE with her Japanese debut album Listen to My Heart, 4 years before DBSK launched their Japanese debut album Heart, Mind and Soul. Her impact in Japan was phenomenal to the point that she isn’t even regarded as a Hallyu star over there–they see her as one of their own J-pop artists. She influenced many current idols to become kpop idols. Even now, you can still feel her impact and the awe from her hoobaes whenever she’s on stage. She is not a has-been, she is still relevant.
Accurate tbh
this is not a dream. It’s real life.
