Do not let them erase this. Do not let them tell you he meant "my heart goes out for you."

This man is the grandson of a Canadian Nazi sympathizer who moved to South Africa BECAUSE he thought the apartheid was just the coolest.

He has a gaggle of kids specifically because he believes his genes are superior and need to be spread to improve humanity.

He has thrown his support behind the neonazi party in Germany and the far right party in the UK, not to mention how far he's wormed up the ass of the Republican party.

He threw two sieg heil salutes back to back at the inauguration of the president of the United States and is trying to scrub the evidence off the internet.

Elon Reeve Musk is a fucking Nazi.

And the one thing about trying to point out antisemitism is that a whole lotta people will go “nooooo I think people are overreacting, there’s a reasonable explanation.” But unfortunately the smokescreen of a “reasonable explanation” is how all this shit carries on without pushback.

Someone who can’t clock this for what it is has probably missed out on a whole symphony of everyday dog whistles. So you will feel like a crazy person because of course you know that “global elites” and “life-denying philosophies” and “cabals” are dog whistles. But it’s like having to explain that “family values” is about hating queer people and women’s reproductive rights to someone who hasn’t kept up with politics for the past 50 years.

When guys like Elon Musk have never publicly said the quiet part loud before, people will go, “wait, he couldn’t possibly have said that!” because they haven’t really been listening.

JUST look at his hand, right, his actual hand during that salute. Like, ignore the salute itself for a moment, just a moment.

He has his hand in the EXACT shape and thumb placement for a Nazi salute.

(warning, image of fuckin Hitler doing the salute)

The thumb placement is pointed down. It's DISTINCTIVE AS FUCK.

Musk does EXACTLY that in his salute, not once, but TWICE.

An accidental "salute" by someone, like if they stick their arms out in joy, doesn't have a downward pointing thumb. Literally, it's not a typical thing. We stick our thumbs out and, usually, upwards, when we're happy. It's a subconscious gesture, the "thumbs up" move. But the fuckin Nazi salute doesn't do that. To have your thumb point down and be tucked against your index finger? It requires you to actually control and manipulate your thumb position, and if you do it so much it becomes automatic? You're doing the Nazi fuckin salute.

It's not "alt-right". It's not "maga salute" or whatever. It's straight up Nazi.

Call it fuckin Nazi.

Stop changing the language to change the perception of Nazism and Nazi ideology for fucks sake.

He gave the Nazi salute. TWICE.

It's not "'the everyone is Hitler' attack" as he tries to deflect and dismiss. He's minimising the seriousness of it by trying to imply it's an over-reaction and "seeing things" by others when IT'S FUCKING NOT YOU PIECE OF SHIT. That's a gaslighting, psychological trick designed to deconstruct the actions in order to separate them from the context and historical reality. Hence why "alt-right" and other terms ARE A FUCKING PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY FACILITATE THE FURTHER SEPARATION OF ACTIONS AND BELIEFS FROM THEIR HISTORICAL CONTEXT THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE IN THEIR ORIGINS. Once the separation starts, it enables the development and infection of those beliefs into the mainstream in more "palatable" ways that don't reveal their fucking depravity.

I literally have spent HOURS before in the past having to watch videos of various types of authoritarianism in action, from rallies to political addresses because I'm That Autistic when I'm doing research (and also writing a fucking paper on the psychology of extremism ffs). I have this abomination of a salute ingrained in my brain (no, it's not fun, it plays in my head like a fuckin nightmare video). I even attempted it myself to figure out the mechanics and the way muscles work in the arm, to test to see if it really can be done "by accident" (spoiler: IT FUCKIN CAN'T).

Fuck this Nazi piece of shit and the American Nazi Party he endorses, represents, and fucking bankrolls.

Fuck him.

TUMBLR 101: a helpful guide for tiktok refugees

are YOU a former tiktok user trying to learn how to use tumblr to fill the void the american tiktok ban is leaving in your soul? here are some things you should know, from someone who’s going on their eighth year on this hellsite:

1. you can say anything on here. gone are the days of having to use words like “unalive” and “seggs.” murder! kill! sex! fuck! speak your mind!

2. there is a community for you on here. regardless of what you’re into or however small the fandom is, you have a place here. at least one other person will have heard of your weird obscure interest. strike up a conversation!

3. followers don’t matter. tumblr is one of the last remaining social media sites in which your number of followers means absolute jack shit. this can be disorienting at first, but once you lean into the fact that everyone on this website is equal, it’s very freeing. clout means nothing here.

4. similarly, you can post at any time. while tiktok has an algorithm that favors certain times, tumblr has no such algorithm. post whatever you want, whenever you want. every post has virtually the same chance at getting notes, regardless of when it is posted.

5. tags can have spaces between the words! this one is very exciting. tags can be a whole sentence. you can also use the tags to comment on someone’s post without actually adding onto the physical post itself (which is sometimes frowned upon and called “derailing” if you use this feature to bring up a completely different point other than the one that’s being made on the original post).

TL;DR: speak your mind, find your place, followers don’t matter, post anytime, have fun with tags!! tumblr is a wonderful site used to share things you’re excited about. be patient with yourself as you’re learning and have fun!

When you turn 18, you go to the Chapel to summon a Familiar, then your future is decided based on its shape. All you can do is name the creature and then the summoning does the rest. After you name it, the priestesses all stare at you with horror in their eyes, then scream when it appears.

[i-am-thornqueen]

"Who."

"Your familiar, what will you name it?"

"Who."

"Your familiar."

"Yes, that."

"You'll name your familiar That?"

"No, That's my mother."

"Your familiar is your mother?"

"No, my familiar is Who."

The priestess pinch the bridge of her nose, her patience clearly wearing thin. Her next words were spoken through gritted teeth. "What will you name your familiar?"

"Who." You can hardly keep the grin off your face.

Finally at the end of her patience, the priestess uttered an oath and looked down at the scroll in her hands to make sure she had the right apostle and not simply someone who'd wandered in to cause trouble. The priestess paled upon seeing the name. Unfortunately, you are the right apostle and you are definitely there to cause trouble.

Her eyes flick up behind you.

The heads of more priestesses shoot up, eyes growing wide. Some screamed. Some fell to their knees. Others fainted, and it would be days before they came to their senses again.

You look back to find chaos incarnate, an impossible being who was too large for the room, too real for reality, and too many things all at once. It was twisting and unformed, smiling and snarling and laughing and screaming with too many mouths; countless eyes gazed from too many places, seeing too many things beyond mortal comprehension.

It looks down upon you.

You smile up at it. "Who?"

It smiled. And Frowned. And snarled. "What?"

"Exactly."

It nods, and you see the glimmer of understanding in its fathomless eyes. There is a spark of humour there, too, or whatever passes for humour in a chaos incarnate eldritch beast. It folds itself down, down, down into a portable form - a feathered body that didn't look like feathers if you looked at it from the corner of your eye; a flattened face with, perhaps, too many eyes if you looked at it too quickly. Maybe it has too many talons. Too many legs. Too many wings. It sort of looked like an owl, but only if you'd never seen an owl before. It lands gently on your shoulder and weighs absolutely nothing.

"Who," it introduces itself, confirming its agreement to the name.

"What," you reply to complete the bond. You come from a long line of mischief, from your mother That to your grandmother How and her mother before that named When. 'What' was a particularly inspired choice of name. Your bloodline exists to remind people that magic, like life, is not meant to be taken overly seriously. It's chaotic, and sometimes it's even fun. You can tell your familiar understands the assignment already.

Who laughs.

You grin.

"We will accomplish many things together," Who says. "None of it will be useful, but all of it will be entertaining."

Your face hurts from how hard you are smiling. "Entertainment is its own purpose."

"Indeed."

"Would you like to go home now?"

"I would like that, yes."

You and Who leave the Great Hall just as the Grand Master Priest walks in and sees the room in utter disarray. You hear him demand, "What happened here?!"

You feel especially accomplished when you hear the head priestess sigh, "Exactly."

Forget about torturing your blorbos, putting them through the ringer. I'm putting my blorbo in perfectly ordinary, pleasant situations. Their tortured personality will cause them anguish anyway, making an absolutely mundane scene into the most dramatic, agony filled affair as though the world is ending and it's all their fault

[khvylovy]

rule #2 of being a child soldier is to feel enough overwhelming guilt to make those who made you one choke on it endlessly as if you are prometheus and they are your eagle

[khvylovy]

rule #3 of being a child soldier is to stare into the void until it stares back

rule #7 seven is to always have a homoerotic character foil

When I was trying to write my tags on the last post, I attempted to copy-paste my special tag-friendly comma (‚) and it. It pasted an image of a spiral staircase? This wasn't on my clipboard. I've never seen this staircase before. What the fuck?

How to be a trans ally 101, from To Wong Foo (1995)

[yeet--haw]

i'm reminded of those posts from trans women who stated in their experiences that by far most cis women they interact with in person aren't transphobic towards them. and that recent study that showed the uk population is more accepting of trans people than they perceive each other to be (ie 2 uk polls, "do you think most people are trans friendly" vs "are you trans friendly"). i think there's more love and acceptance in this world than transphobes want you to believe. you are not as hated as legislators and conservative news outlets would lead you to believe.

[socialdoki]

I am one of those trans women out in the world, a conservative part, even, and I can tell you that there is *far* less transphobia out there than they'd like you to believe. Coming out at my job in a small, conservative town was terrifying, especially during the time where I became forced center of attention. But you know how people reacted? Curiosity, mostly. I answered some questions and they went on with their lives. Sure, there's some transphobic people here, but they're outnimbered quite a bit by the people who see me as just some girl.

[leolaroot]

"dont smoke around your pets" okay well i dont even smoke im asthmatic. my dog smokes bc she needs to fucking chill sometimes and Yeah i light them for her Obviously bc she cant use a lighter. i dont get anyrhing out of this arrangment and i resent the implication. in fact shes giving ME secondhand smoke. so my question is why are you so hateful and jugemental and acting like an asshole to me making presumptions and shit about my life.
