My bread and circus 😔

People can rant about the pacing of season 2 all they want, but the fact that they managed to fit a climax this epic and cathartic and painful this seamlessly in a single episode is nothing short of genius.

Like... y'all they really had it all

This is why every vote matters. YOUR vote matters. Please vote!

Actually that’s exactly how it works. Here, lemme break down the numbers. I’ll be using the 2020 presidential election voter turnout.

In 2020, the total U.S. population was about 332,450,000.

Of that number, about 240,000,000 were eligible to vote.

Of eligible voters, only about 66.1% actually voted. And that’s a high turnout, historically speaking.

Of the 158,427,986 eligible voters who actually voted,

81,283,501 voted for Biden. That’s 24.5% of the overall U.S. population.

74,223,975 voted for Trump. That’s 22% of the overall U.S. population.

(I’m guessing the graphic used updated number from 2024 for population size.)

But yes, that’s exactly how it all works. Not everyone in the U.S. is eligible to vote (sometimes due to voter suppression, but also due to being too young).

Of those who ARE eligible to vote, as many didn’t vote as voted for either Biden or Trump.

Who wins is determined by who fucking shows up to vote.

Democracy works exactly as well as how much you participate in it.

Trump voters are only 22% of the general population.

They’re only 31% of eligible voters.

They’ll be easy to defeat.

IF PEOPLE ACTUALLY FUCKING VOTE.

Which is why it's important to pair posts like this with actual resources on, for example:

Who can vote

How to register

How to fill a ballot

Where to vote

What to expect on your ballot

How to report if your voter registration is illegally denied or mishandled

How to process a change of name or address

How to get an ID card (financial assistance not available)

See, the thing a lot of people don't get is, the US system is designed to SUPPRESS AND DENY votes. Fun fact for those who went to school elsewhere: none of the stuff I linked is actually required learning in our schools. Followup fact: the reason I mention financial assistance for ID cards is, our free ID (social security card) is not valid for voting in half of states; expensive photo IDs are required.

For the Americans, you must understand: Most places with elections take the exact opposite approach. Do you know how fucked up it is that in the US you can't even get a whole day off work, despite voter queues often being several hours long due to lack of polling places? How absolutely pigshit bonkers it is that people have to PAY to vote (via ID fees)?

The international folks are appalled because that's fucked up! 18% picking your president is unhinged! It actually truly does represent a broken system!

In other words this is a real, systemic issue that can take years to overcome IF you even have the ability to do it at all.

If you're lucky enough not to face any of the hurdles, stay informed on the subject so you can help the rest of us out.

Voter suppression is not caused by personal moral failing.

It's caused by the broken system.

Everytime ao3 is down I'm reminded of two things:

One is that humans have and always will love telling stories, and they will continue to do so even if there is no benefit to telling these stories, but simply because we love creating things

The other is that a concerning amount of people use fanfiction as a form of escapism and we should probably look into that

I love fanfic authors. I read a fic once and the author said they had a friend who is a real nuclear physicist teach them all about this radioactive compound and how it reacts with different materials so that their fic could be accurate. It was smut.

“Nobody:

Girls that bullied goth kids in high school:”

Attached images are of Taylor Swift, a white woman with sunglasses, blonde hair, a black tank top reading “this is my fight song”, and green shorts. She is wearing a leather bondage harness. It is backwards.

AUGNNNNNHVHV, I’M INCONSOLABLE. FROM “I KNEW YOU WOULD”

TO “I’M WILLING TO”

TO “I WOULD. WOULDN’T YOU?”

Ava really said, “No, you’re not getting rid of me that easily, you fucking coward. We belong together, and I will fight you on that if I have to. And I have to because I’m just like you. You made me in your image, and I hate you for that. But we’re doing this together because I love you all the freakin’ same.”

TOXIC YURI SITUATIONSHIP OF ALL TIME!!!!!
