my epilogue
half-assed this so much but byler power outage fic my beloved
This is the canon to me.
my drafts are prepared for tomorrow
starting a collection of my new favourite type of st post
"i asked chatgpt" well i went to Rockin' Robin and she said that you have all the answers and you just need to stop being so scared of who you are

it's just me and my gay fanfics against the world
Legolas wears crocs.
Yo Biden just announced an infrastructure devolopment/clean energy/environmental justice plan and it's honesty pretty fucking amazing and much more ambitious than I ever would have expected from him, goddamn. He's trying to Eisenhower/New Deal our way out of the economic collapse.
Some notable points addressed by this plan:
Expanding American railway systems
Fixing the crumbling roads, bridges, dams, etc. that haven't been kept up
Capping abandoned oil wells
Undoing Trump's financial bailout policies for unclean energy companies
Reinvesting in American-made automotive companies
Getting America to 100% clean energy by 2035
Fixing air, water, and ground pollution issues that disproportionately affect poc
Getting justice for victims of environmental racism
Reinstating a bunch of environmental and medical jobs Trump had cut
Getting the US back on the Paris Agreement/Climate Accord

For those who were wondering what the point of voting for a leftist candidate was, if the leftist didn’t win—this is it. Biden is trending leftward. That’s what we want him to do. He wouldn’t be doing it if the left hadn’t shown itself to be a real force.
I know that the work is never done and all that, but I think we can count this one as a win.
please god vote. register ASAP. check to make sure you’re still registered because they’re kicking people off. look into your states mail in ballot laws
I don’t like the guy, and I doubt if most of this would actually get done, but please, it’s better than the guy actively dismantling anything good we have and pushing us backwards
even if you’re in a state that swings dem and you think your vote doesn’t matter, it does. the popular vote tally means something even if the system is broken. Hillary got millions more votes and that was the voice of the people. vote even just to add to the tally of people against Trump because you know the numbers will hurt his vanity
And for all the “lesser of two evils” people out there who think a Biden victory means rewarding the Democratic party’s ongoing rejection of the left wing of the party, reminder that the alternative, GREATER of two evils, is THIS:
A new policy change to prevent trans women from accessing homeless shelters is teaching people how to police gender presentation and physical features just so the country can legalize a new way to get away with killing us.
This is the shit we would have four more years of if Biden loses.
Shelter workers may use “factors such as height, the presence (but not the absence) of facial hair, the presence of an Adam’s apple, and other physical characteristics which, when considered together, are indicative of a person’s biological sex,” the rule says.
If a homeless person appears too transgender for a homeless shelter, the shelter is allowed to ask them for proof of “biological sex.”

Biden wasn’t even my fifth choice in the primaries. But we have to focus on the general now. There are only two possible outcomes this November. We’ve seen how one of them turned out for us, and we all know damn well it’s only getting worse, and getting worse faster. Do not forget that the other outcome is not just about Biden; there’s an entire Democratic platform that comes in with him, along with a complete 180 in White House staff, federal appointments, judicial confirmations, etc. And the judicial confirmations ALONE are a huge deal. If you are somehow NOT convinced that Biden would be better for us than Trump, I need you to understand the existential threat of these words:
Losing Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat to another Brett Kavanaugh.
Do NOT let your ideological purity put us through THAT.
Anything lesser than the evil we have now is a rejection of how far right the Overton Window has been dragged the last few years. Don’t forget how much we stand to lose if we don’t live to fight another day.
Vote for your life.
say his name. no justice, no peace.
some of yall really think politics is only about the presidency and it shows when you say shit like “i dont like biden so i wont vote” get a motherfucking vibe check and go vote blue so we dont have a conservative majorty supreme court for the next 30 years holy shit
wow there are really some of yall out here adding the absolute stupidest fucking comments onto this post huh!! the amount of people I’ve seen in the past day pull some shit out of their ass about “biden is just as bad as trump” is astounding tbh.
firstly, the central points of this post are that you need to vote DOWN THE BALLOT because newsflash the presidency isn’t the only election and that voting biden does more than just him it also allows RBG to retire and gives us our first female vp and a progressive presidential cabinet.
now for yall acting like biden and trump are the same im going to highly encourage you to do a few things. 1, go read biden’s policy platform. 2, go look at every politician and organization who has endorsed him… people like bernie and warren and obama… organizations like the congressional black caucus 3, turn on the news and go read up about how trump is sending in federal officers to brutalize peaceful protesters and how he threatened to send in the us military, and how he’s blocking the cdc now from collecting coronavirus data.
does biden suck?? uhhh yeah no shit that really isnt news. am i happy that biden is the nominee?? FUCK no. but im not stupid ignorant or selfish enough to say some asinine shit like “oh well i dont like biden so you know what fuck it trump can stay” ???? what are yall planning to do exactly, storm the capitol?? redo our entire political system in the next 3 months???? oh my fucking god. this is the choice we have right now. biden or trump. that is your choice. im not asking you to like it but im asking you to pull your head out of your ass and understand that every single progressive politician and organization you support is begging you to vote biden because they understand that if trump is reelected we will NEVER have a chance at creating a better more progressive system. yall want to have a progressive president in 2024? 2028? then go vote for biden so we make it until then. oh my god.
If trump wins the next election, we’re looking at a Conservative Supreme Court for potentially the rest of our lives.
We’re alreading removing the separations of Church and State through recent Supreme Court rulings. I want you to imagine future Conservative Supreme Court rulings on the following cases:
Religious School funding
School integration vs segregation
Limits on police brutality
Voting rights and protections
Healthcare coverage
Marriage rights for LGBT couples
Housing/job/healthcare discrimination on basis of ‘religion’ against women, other religious members, lgbt people
Immigrant rights and immigration rates
Affirmative action
Climate change and EPA requirements
Employee rights
Funding for family planning services
this isnt some theoretical debate yall like this is the fucking alternative. people arent being cute when they call trump a fascist this is fascism. biden might not be as progressive as we want but he isnt a fucking fascist why can some people not wrap their heads around this
I’ve had a hard time determining what people want to accomplish by not voting for Biden. Like, beyond not wanting to for ideological purity reasons. What does not voting for him accomplish? What is your alternative? Do you really think a Biden presidency will be as bad as four more years of Trump? Do you really think it’s better to allow Trump to win again? I just don’t really understand it.
Unless you organize an actual revolution between now and November, these are the two options.
You don’t have to enjoy casting your vote for Biden but please do it anyways. He’s not going to be all of the change we very obviously and very desperately need but he is a step in the right direction. Keep taking those steps. Vote.
You know what I don’t get? On EVERYTHING FUCKING ELSE Tumblr Teens™ are black and white. Fanfiction. Antis. Terfs. One side or the other.
This is the ONE THING that really is black and white because our voting system is a fucking shit show and NOW you wanna go third option? FOR THIS? For a shitty candidate vs literal fascism? Your choices are a guy you’d never date and the local serial killer and NOW YOURE THINKING “I SHOULD SIT THIS ONE OUT?”
WHAT. THE FUCK. IS WRONG. WITH YOU
Also, ask this: WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO LEARN?
Here. An example from Obama.
When he took the White House, he was against marriage equality.
By the time he left it, he was joyfully attending same-sex weddings and showing his support. In his own words, he evolved on the issue.
He didn’t do it in a vacuum. During his years in the White House he talked to people, read books and reports, prayed, and most importantly HE LISTENED. He realized his position was incorrect, and revised it. LIKE A GOOD AND FUNCTIONING ADULT.
So now I want you to imagine the people on the top three tiers of your ballot: President, governor (if applicable), and House/Senate.
Think about each candidate and an issue on which the two of you disagree.
Now imagine you have the chance to have coffee with these candidates, and have a conversation.
Which candidates end the conversation with “you’ve certainly given me something to think about” or “I’ll have to look into that, it’s an interesting viewpoint” or “thank you for sharing your experiences with me”?
Which ones brush you off, never let you speak, insist you’re wrong, condescend to you, move the goalposts?
The people in that first category are the ones you want to vote for. I literally voted for someone once because I asked her opinion on a bill and she said “you know what? I haven’t had the chance to read it yet. But give me your email, I’ll make it a point to get back to you in the next few days” AND SHE DID. It helped a lot that her stances on education and M4A mostly matched my own, but the moment I got that email sealed the deal for me. It takes a lot to say “I don’t know enough to have an informed opinion, let me learn.”
Do you agree with Biden? Maybe not. Probably not. I don’t. But the old advice is to vote for the candidate you can imagine having a beer with, AND THIS IS WHY. You can talk to that candidate. YOU CAN ASK THEM TO LOOK AT YOUR SIDE. And that matters.
no justice. no peace. prosecute the police.
Reblog to have something good happen at 1:42 tomorrow
I saw this before I left work last night and had a quiet hope, and today I checked my phone at about quarter to two, while I was still on my lunch break, and I’ve just got a job interview with the BBC next week
I’m not a big believer in anything much but I’m so happy holy shit. So like unrelated note but something real good happened to me at 1.42 today lol
I’ll play
before and after work
