Filling the hole in my heart with vague memes

this is what watching sarazanmai feels like

Literally no one who follows me is going to know what this means, but HBomberguy, a Youtuber known for Video Essays about pop culture and gaming made a promise that he would live stream himself playing Donkey Kong 64, in its entirety (including picking up every single banana) and all money would go to a UK charity for trans youth (Mermaids) and his initial goal was $3,000 and now it’s been 26 hours into the stream and he’s already over $51k. I just need people to know about this https://m.twitch.tv/hbomberguy

Also, he’s doing it to spite Graham Lineman, a transphobic prick who did some work in some good shows, and helped get Mermaids’ funding by the National Lottery suspended, so because of his temper tantrum, as of the writing of this reblog, he’s raised almost $130k!

i joined and everyone’s talking about OllyTube’s cum what happened

[jonlumia]

Some other highlights:

-The game keeps breaking up from the seams because the emulator just BARELY can handle the game’s code hacks. The chat has to constantly remind him to save the game in case it crashes entirely.

- Harris took 6 hours off camera to sleep and in the meantime the chat devolved into shitposting about feet and teeth (or FEETH).

- Meanwhile on twitter: Glinneham is throwing a pissy transphobic tantrum on twitter due to the stream while #ThanksGraham has started trending in Europe, U.S. and Australia. 

-Insane amount of guest streamers including Chelsea Manning, Jim Sterling, Ollie Thorn and the game’s composer and DK’s voice actor, Grant Kirkhope

- Kirkhope saying TRANS RIGHTS in his DK voice.

I love that of the hundreds of guest speakers from politicians and activists to composers and sports stars, the Scottish Parliament chose to give special mention to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez… And a cat.

I feel so disappointed his real name isn’t Hareton Splimby

HEY THERE, Y'ALL!

As we move into 2019 and presidential hopefuls start their campaigns, remember:

- DO NOT FORM POLITICAL OPINIONS BASED ON INFOGRAPHICS. Read source material. If a journalist is legitimate, they will not pass off their statements as fact without proof.

- DO NOT TAKE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AS TRUTH. Not even when they are made by someone you trust.

- DO NOT TRUST ANY SOURCE UNLESS IT IS CORRABORATED BY MULTIPLE OTHER CREDIBLE SOURCES.

There are already bots posting propaganda, actively targeting leftists, encouraging us not to vote in various ways.

Do not let them win.

This political system is heinously broken, but consider what evil still has to gain from silencing you before you allow yourself to be silenced.

[lynati]

And check the context on EVERY soundbite you hear. If you’re told, “Someone said X!” see if what they said takes on a different meaning if you hear what they said before and after it. Especially if it’s less than a full sentence. o.O

[counterpunches]

#for the love of little apples#please please please don’t reblog shit about politicians/political positions without CHECKING THE INFO YOURSELF#this isn’t fandom kids!#you gotta actually put in the work and not just the fucking outrage this time ok

What’s ur Twitter?? I’m leaving this site

you think TWITTER’S better than this? girl i’ll see u in 48 hours

[pettydavis]

like notice how nowhere in that lil staff update did they mention getting rid of nazi or white supremacist content. they still get to keep theyre racist and neofascist userbase while appearing to do something useful

[deirdreskye]

In reference to the guy who kicked that pro-life protestor, I think it should be pointed out that the pro-choice movement will never, ever be as violent as the pro-life movement. Bill O'Reilly ran a profile on abortion-providing doctor George Tiller every other week calling him a baby killer until a pro lifer shot him in front of his family and friends at his own church. In Pensacola FL they gunned down an abortion doctor. Another doctor started flying out across the country every week to replace him with a bodyguard in tow until another prolifer from that same crowd murdered them both in broad daylight. These people are animals, the pro choice movement will never, ever be anything like them.

[spyderqueen]

Seeing some people on Tumblr still bitching about how it’s too late for voting and the only thing that will fix things is revolution.

How about you fucking vote anyway? It’s not going to seriously cut into your “sitting on the couch waiting for a revolution to start” time.

There’s no “none of the above” option here. You want a revolution, fine, but there’s still little shit to do in the meantime.

You can vote AND protest. They’re not exclusive. Hell, you can even protest the person you voted for when they fuck up. You’re not signing a blood oath with your ballot. But a desire for an ideologically pure candidate or nothing only serves the status quo right now.

[amaralanegra]

okay but have yall seen the video of the super patriotic dating simulator?

[blackmodel]

I CANT……THE THIGH GAP TOLD ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW TBH

[fatfreefiddlefaddle-deactivated]

I hate his timeline so much

[defydamage]

If I have to watch this with my own eyes I’m making the rest of you suffer.

[cil-confirmed]

I THINK ITS REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD REALLY WATCH THE POST-TRAILER CLIP ABOUT THE CREATOR - A MUSLIM WOMAN SATIRIZING THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH AMERICAN CULTURE AND ITS INTERACTIONS WITH ISLAM (AND THE FACT THAT THEY’RE DUMB ENOUGH TO THINK ISIS REPRESENTS IT) BECAUSE HOLY FUCK IT TAKES THIS ‘ALARMING BUT KINDA FUNNY’ VIDEO INTO ‘THAT’S FUCKING HILARIOUS’ TERRITORY WITH THAT NEW CONTEXT

[theconcealedweapon]

Think about why it’s illegal to hire a hit man.

All you’re really doing is speaking and giving someone money.

It’s legal to speak.

It’s legal to give someone money.

Even if they actually complete the job, you’re not the one who committed the murder.

So why is it illegal to hire a hit man?

Could it be because inciting violence is not protected under free speech?

And if that’s the case, why should free speech protect Nazis advocating genocide?

pro-life memes are so fucking funny

I love how this diner is on a bunch of vaporwave/dystopia blogs for its aesthetic when in real life– I’ve eaten here many times– it’s a cozy daytime luncheon in squeaky clean Old Market, Omaha, and it’s run by a really handsome older bear daddy who wears “PAPA BEAR” pawprint tshirts while he politely brings you a tuna melt, and Omaha being what it is, suburban Nebraska straight moms think his shirt is a reference to being a protective father and tell him “Oh, I’m a ‘mama bear’!” and he always smiles kindly at them like “mmhmm okay!” and I almost choke on my chocolate milk.

LEAKED: scarlet johansson’s next big role

[feilusiana]

[justsomeantifas]

im just saying like … they straight up said obama couldn’t pick a justice even tho thats illegal and now surprisingly another one is out of the door…… 

feels a little too convenient. 

feels a littttlee constructed. 

i mean…. they faked their way into presidency ….. the american people didn’t vote for trump, 

they lie about everything 

they do everything without the american people’s opinion for instance

see: net neutrality repeal

like theyre going to fuck us so bad with this one, i’m pretty sick over it because it looks genuinely horrific

fuckin tell me i’m fear mongering when what we all know is going to happen … happens.

[forgotn1]

Yeah. And they’ll try to shove a far-right conservative into the position so that they can start undoing all of the civil rights laws that have been enacted in the past 30-40 years. This doesn’t at all feel like the start of a fascist take-over. At this point, I’m just waiting for a Reischtag fire kind of incident that they can use to consolidate power and blame on immigrants.

[justsomeantifas]

the holocaust was legal in germany. it was a democratic process that allotted its existence.

this is not a false comparison, look at what’s already happening, 

look at all the missing children, 

look at the families torn apart, 

look at the lives taken,

look at the detention centers we’re already shoving people in.

just fucking look. this is all legal. everything they’re doing, all these lives they’re destroying 

this is all legal. 

[milwaukeeantifa-deactivated2018]

Japanese Internment Camps were Legal.

Apartheid in South Africa was Legal.

Segregation in the U.S. was Legal.

Slavery was Legal.

Native American Boarding Schools were Legal.

Trail of Tears was Legal.

The Holocaust was Legal.

Colonialism was Legal.

Legality is a matter of power, not justice.

Which is why it’s more important than ever to vote in every single election.
