Barking at Nothing

[waterbugsanonymous]

hi, this is your gentle reminder and PSA: there are ELECTIONS happening in November 4th. PLEASE GO VOTE. Trump is the most unpopular he has ever been, but does that mean your average independent, or republican will vote for a dem this time around-likely no- they probably will just skip the process entirely if they don’t have a candidate they feel strongly about. this is why i’m asking YOU SPECIFICALLY to make sure to go vote. and i don’t wanna hear any doomerism shit about how voting is a waste of time bc of whatever, guys voting is the last of anything we have it is clear most of these people who represent us do not actually care, HOWEVER trump currently has the house, senate and courts and making it even slightly harder to do anything or having a large enough group to speak out against what he’s doing will help hundreds of thousands of people in the US. now more than ever is it important to make sure that they know that we do not stand for this

i actually need to know people's thoughts on this because at least in my experience the answer to this has drastically changed since i was on tumblr in the 2010s and its driving me fucking insane

what's the appropriate way to engage with a fandom take you disagree with on tumblr?

voice your disagreement in the replies

voice your disagreement in a reblog addition

shrug and move on

vaguepost and complain about it on your own blog but dont engage directly

send it to a trusted moot and vent about your frustrations about it in private

bald / nuance / see results

Voting ended onMay 29, 2025

*im talking about fandom takes specifically. not someone being horribly evil about a real-life issue or or blatantly factually incorrect. literally just harmless fandom disagreements or differing interpretations of a text/character/etc.

[mythalism]

i need you dorks to REBLOG this if you voted.... i already know my circle of moots and i have the same opinion i need this to spread across fandoms to get a real accurate sample of sufficient size COME ON!!!!!! and love and kisses to everyone reblogging and leaving their thoughts in the tags <3 muah muah xoxo

Hey. Look at me. Please leave yourself a note somewhere you'll see it later that says "it is going to take years if not decades to get the United States government to the level of functionality it had in November of 2024." If we elect a democrat in 2028, we are not going to be up and running by 2032.

Please make sure you have a reminder in your phone reminding you to not look at 2028/32/36 Democratic candidates and say "why are they not promising/delivering Cool Shit?" because you are going to understand that to get Cool Shit we must have competent people running a decently funded government, and we are not going to have that.

We are not getting UBI. We are not getting single payer healthcare. We are not getting free college or free preschool. We are not redistributing wealth on a large scale. We are not getting free internet. We are not getting ranked choice voting.

If we are lucky, we are going to get an IRS that can collect taxes, qualified schoolteachers, research grants, Social Security, and a government that thinks maybe it should be a priority for people around the worlds to not have AIDS, malaria or TB.

[runawaymarbles]

To be clear, I don't mean we should forget or take our eyes off the ultimate long-term goals of getting Cool Shit, but to get there, we're gonna have to support things like "half-measures" and "small steps" and "not tearing down people who won't get us all the way there" and "understanding that they are starting from the basement basically because every government institution is being decimated"

“Trump voters are stupid in many ways, but they knew exactly who and what he is when they voted for him. They either voted for Trump because they gleefully wanted to hurt those groups and individuals or because they simply didn’t care. “I want lower grocery prices” is a valid reason to vote (assuming a candidate/party has a plan to make that happen), but “I want lower grocery prices even if millions of people are hurt” is not. It’s cruel, and it makes that person a bad person. And, no, saying “I changed my mind about Trump because I’m the one now being hurt” does not make one a better person. It just underscores how shitty and selfish that individual is.”

Trump voters wanted to harm other people—or at best didn’t care

I will never forgive and I will never forget the people who voted for this and did this to us.

Never.

And I encourage you to join me. Every single person who voted for this should be ostracized, cast out, and never forgiven. They must be made pariahs, and suffer a terrible societal cost, so that this never happens again.

They knew exactly who he is and what he would do. They want all of this to happen, just not to them.

Fuck Trump and fuck everyone who voted for him (or otherwise helped him get back into the white house by not voting, voting third party, or spreading propaganda).

[witchcityninja]

Exactly, all of this.

[wilwheaton]

“Trump won, we remind you, by a mere 1.5 percentage points, and he failed to reach the 50% threshold in the popular vote – in other words, more people voted for Harris and the other candidates (50.2%) than Trump (49.8%). It is utterly breathtaking to imagine that Trump is trying to reinvent America based on a 1.5-percentage point win that hinged on high prices and a weak Democratic ticket in a stub campaign. It takes a titanic ego, unhinged from political reality, to believe he has a “mandate” to attempt such a sweeping inversion of our national identity. This is simply not what Americans voted for.”

BTRTN: Trump at 50 Days – America is Unhappy, and Increasingly So

I mean, we told the dumb fucks who voted for this criminal fascist that this would happen, and they mocked us. So.

I’m sure someones already said this but I often see Tumblr described as a hellsite. This is fundamentally incorrect.

Tumblr is the faesite. Everybody is super confused and lost, you keep running into random places. Somehow you end up stuck there forever after interacting a couple of times. The people are all strange, everybody simultaneously seems to be from the future and the past as if time is meaningless.

[stargazing-at-the-moon-deactiva]

YES

[amysnotdeadyet]

also technology breaks at random, and sometimes you just suddenly feel a thousand years old

[variablejabberwocky]

everybody has a half dozen names and none of them are their “real” name.

which name(s) you know gives you different powers over them.

there are Rules but you mostly have to figure them out for yourself.

getting the Rules wrong or breaking them can cost you more than you ever even knew you had.

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.

[rederiswrites]

Nazis are taking over my government, and like, not even just the Nazis we fucking elected! And I'm...making hamburgers? Because somebody has to make dinner? I just feel completely unhinged.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I think that's how random civillians generally feel in these situations. Someone's gotta make dinner.

[lizardlicks]

If you're wondering, there is plenty to be done about it, and plenty being done about it already, even if it's not happening instantly in a way you can perceive.

Is Somebody Doing Something?!

Yes. Let me break it down for you.

[rederiswrites]

Reblogging because this is an excellent article that both tells you about some of what's being done and breaks it down in a way that will help you understand and think about future action. Please read!

[saywhat-politics]

Keep your messaging simple:

“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”

That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.

Trump removed bird safety regulations in his first term and now bird flu is killing so many laying hens that eggs are $5 a carton

Trump removed food safety standards his first term and now we have recalls every few weeks

Trump cut the subsidies for the solar farms under construction so now electricity costs more

Trump disbanded the pandemic response team and we now we have bird flu and tuberculosis outbreaks
