I’ve had tumblr for 4 years but some of you bitches have had it for a decade. It’s time to seek penance
wait I’m curious now . Reblog this with how long u’ve been on tumblr for. Dating back to ur oldest blog ever !!!
For anyone who wants to see the exact date and time you started on tumblr:
Tumblr is a place to express yourself, discover yourself, and bond over the stuff you love. It's where your interests connect you with your
How long have you been on Tumblr?
< 1 year
1-2 years
3-4 years
5-6 years
7-8 years
9-10 years
11-12 years
13-14 years
15-16 years
17-18 years
Since the beginning (19 years)
Round to the closest year! I couldn't figure out the best way to succinctly communicate, for example, >10 but <=12 in a way accessible to people with varying degrees of comfort with math notation.
If we're rounding up...15 years...
why does it take SO much energy to keep your house only sort of clean
#because historically there were like six to ten people responsible for that in one house#and now it’s just you#and maybe your bf/roommate who doesn’t really try
Real, to be honest.
Ok the US Attorney General says that she will remove ICE if MN drops all our sanctuary laws, complies with ICE, hands over all our SNAP, Medicaid and voter rolls. They demand control over our voter registration so they can "ensure free and fair elections".
They want to control our elections.
I am dead serious people call your representatives. Get volunteering. Get protesting. Get LOUD.
They released a letter full of straight up lies. Spread the truth. MAKE NOISE.

How interesting. How very interesting. They rejected my Blaze of this post.
Well, y'all. Make of this what you will, eh?
Then I guess we'll just have to Blaze it the old fashioned way, eh?
Boosting signal. AGAIN.
German here. This is, essentially, what happened in 1939. The Nazis got the majority in parlament through democratic process and then applied terror until the rights of the people to vote them out again were taken away. I should add that they did, among other things, send out their paramilitary to provoke fights and also took advantage of the Reichstagsbrand. (It should be noted that I´m currently unclear on whether or not the Nazis caused that fire and blamed someone else, or if they indeed only took advantage.) Back then, the enemy was the communists and jewish people. The SA was on the street, terrorizing people. Abducting people. Taking people around the back of a house to be shot. Until they got what they wanted: absolute power.
That´s what this is. Trump tried it the soft way in his first term, and the people voted him out of office. This time, his cabinet isn´t fucking about. (I´m saying his cabinet because I shit you not, I highly doubt Trump could find his own ass pockets at this point.) This is, essentially, a terror campain. They hope you´ll grow tired of caring. They hope that if they disappear enough people, you´ll grow too scared to fight. They hope to find the right enemy to present to you as the cause of all your problems. They hope that they can somehow prevent the midterms from going to the democrats.
Here´s the important bit: Do. Not. Stop.
It´s tiring. It´s scary. Giving in will feel easier at some point. Your brain is wired to keep you alive, and going out every day to fight the Gestapo isn´t very in line with that goal. But it must be done. You´re scaring them. The fact that people of so many different backgrounds are deciding they hate ICE more than they hate each other is killing their entire spiel.
They have, ironically, succeeded splendidly in giving the nation a common enemy to unite against. Unfortunately for them, the enemy is their off-brand Gestapo and the pumpkin in chief.
Keep fighting. Don´t let history repeat itself. Get loud. Don´t ever let them silence you.
The letter itself, unpaywalled.
idgaf if periwinkle is definitionally part of the blue family that shit is Purple
IT'S BLUE-VIOLET IT'S A TERTIARY COLOR OMFG IT'S NOT A SECONDARY (PURPLE) NOR A PRIMARY (BLUE) IT'S BETWEEN THE TWO
northern hemisphere babes we made it to the longest night of the year. we made it. for the next 6 months, every day will give us a little more daylight than the last. let's go. take my hand. climb out of the darkness with me
name three movies that absolutely define some part of you as a person.
nothing will remind you that eating is good and okay like fantasy books will. “and that night in the valley they brought out the best plum cake and sweet cream, trout and turnips roasted over the fire, mead and goatsmilk and fresh cold water from the spring-“ and it’s like yeah dude you’re absolutely right. then sometimes it’s like “as he slept that night in the woods, he sorely missed the valley, where they brought out the best plum cake-“ and it’s like man that sucks i’ll have some seconds in his honor
NEVER KILL YOURSELF YOU'VE OUTLIVED CHARLIE KIRK TIME TO OUTLIVE TRUMP
hey funny yellow guy give us your input on the recent events
Hahah
wait what happened
The most moderate prominent right wing figure was shot and killed
Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood at the age of 31, leaving behind his wife and young children.
May he rest in peace, and may every person who celebrates this horrific act of political violence one day feel ashamed of their ghoulish actions and repent.
For years I've seen a nonstop deluge of right wingers cracking jokes and cheering for the murders, suicides and oppression of vulnerable and marginalized groups. I've seen these same people laugh at the deaths of the other party. I've seen Charlie Kirk at every turn adamantly support the continued genocide of tens of thousands of fatherless children in Palestine. Not once do you express shame with going along with this rhetoric, a rhetoric that casually and willfully allows the continued slaughtering and induced hate crime of an innumerable number of people -- and yet you expect me to feel shame for being glad that the spewer of this vitriol is no more?
Why should we be sad that a flooded necrotic sewer has been drained and sealed forever?
Over and over, I see these short form videos, and every time I ever see some scene that's supposed to be spontaneous, I think, "it would be incredible, if this is actually spontaneous and real, that the filmer got the whole scene recorded and didn't start filming mid-moment" and also, "...or this is staged." And if it is spontaneous, who would film such a thing and post it? Some things? They're bizarre or humiliating for the people being filmed.
Watching the politics tag fill up with exhausted liberals talking about how they're too drained to keep resisting and no one should blame them for that and like. Yeah, you're right this sucks and you shouldn't be forced to do it to be treated as human and you shouldn't need to be able to be on and in activist mode all the time either and ALSO
I've been doing this since 2002. My mother did this from 1981-2015. My auntie marched in Alabama during civil rights and my childhood minister has been in resistence since the Vietnam war and has shown no signs of stopping as she collects civil disobedience arrests across all 50 states like badges of honor.
And you all are burnt out after 8 yrs of some of the biggest (and therefore LEAST DEMANDING ON YALL PERSONALLY) movements we've ssen in decades because you feel too poor and tired???????
My mama would go around to every grocery store she had friends working at in the valley and collect all the food they were gonna toss, then host educational salons where she fed everyone in the neighborhood and performed innoculation work. She was a single mom raising a deeply disabled child ALONE on a salary half that of her male coworkers you think she had money? You think she had TIME????? NO!
If you are tired now, I'm sorry to be harsh, but it is BECAUSE YOU DID NOT LISTEN when you were told you needed to settle in for the long haul. You DID NOT LISTEN when organizers shared with everyone their practices around self-care, specialization, community care, and communication, and you spent the last 8 years burning the candle at both ends in person and online with no regard for the actual WORK only for your own fear and feelings of reassurance.
This will never sustain change. I'm sorry. I truly am. I never wanted this for anyone who came after me and I have so much grief that it's here. But I also do not have time to force yall to fucking listen to us when we talk.
Stop trying to assert that only the wealthy and energetic resist. Anyone I see doing so will be bitten repeatedly until fucking dead.
If you're reading this and thinking "that' s all great to hear, but I still don't have the energy/capacity for [blank]" I want to tell you that you're doing this wrong.
Not every action is for all people. And that's not only okay but good. And you may need to either broaden your definition of what work needs to be done, or remember that a movement takes all kinds.
Personally, I realized early on that protests are not for me. I admire the people who go to them, and I will not join. This is not a moral failing on my part. My work is the behind-the-scenes work - I make phone calls, write letters, volunteer in small non-public settings.
We all need to play to our strengths if anything is going to keep going.
Take five minutes to do this for me. I'm serious - stop scrolling and do this for me:
List causes, movements, or situations you think are important. This can be everything from "anti-racism, broadly" to "the bridge in my town is vulnerable to flooding/climate change" to idk "my local paper needs to remain independent". Anything.
Think of all the different angles that are needed to support some of that work.
Do a quick internet search for places and people in your area who are already doing this work.
Combine what you learned in 2 and 3 to figure out what the least exhausting, most sustainable way for you to get involved in is. You may want to combine this with a "which work is most necessary" metric, but don't have to. Pull up your calendar, and schedule it. It can be as simple as "email X organization asking if they need help with backend computer work." It can be anything. But pick something and make your plan.
I hate AI and you should too 💞

Last year, I was considering leaving my day job, refocusing my time and energy on other forms of teaching and on my writing. Now, the feeling of wanting to do so is a desperate gnawing that I don’t know what to do with. I want to focus on making my home a refuge in the midst of all this madness. I want to have nutritious, comforting food and a clean house and a thriving garden and a calm space for us to live while the world falls apart. I want to spend the rest of my life making and creating, not toiling. By God, if the rest of the world will be difficult, I want to make life in my four walls as easy as possible.
