The Pit @wyrd-and-words - Tumblr Blog

next goal: outlive trump 💫

Is Tumblr aware of Count Binface, current hope for our nation?

Let me explain:

Grotesque fascist grifter, Nigel Farage, is the leader of Reform, the racist far right party he created because UKIP got what it wanted (Brexit) and it sucked.

Having tried and failed to be an MP many times (but somehow getting more screentime than any Liberal Democrat or Green politician), he finally succeeded in the last election because people were so overwhelmingly pissed off with the Conservatives, and many right-wing people saw Reform as the new Conservative Party; partly because it's full of rejects from the Conservative Party.

Speculation: he doesn't really want to be an MP, he wants to be a fascist grifter. He's annoyed by suggestions he do things like Be In His Constituency and Serve His Constituents.

He's recently been caught having accepted a VERY large amount of money from some unsavory people that he insists was a totally legitimate 'donation' and not breaking any rules.

Only it did break the rules and it's very clear that it did and things are in motion to hold him to account.

To avoid this, he has resigned as an MP, saying this is a protest at his treatment by the 'establisment' (he is a rich fascist grifter, but he likes to cosplay as a Man of the People). This has triggered a by-election, in which he is standing, with the hope that the people of his constituency will either elect him in a resounding win, indicating they don't care that he's corrupt (having not heard everything the investigation is uncovering), or someone from Labour or the Conservatives will win and he can swan off to America, free to grift again because of what the 'establishment' did to him.

Only, all the major political parties have agreed not to stand, stating openly that this is an obvious stunt and they won't legitimise it. So if he doesn't win, he can't say it was because he was too much of a rebel and the Establishment went against him, he'll just be a loser, which doesn't play too well with the right-wingers he wants to grift. And if he does get back in the investigation will go forward without any kind of 'mandate' from his constituency buoying him up.

But. There is another option.

COUNT BINFACE IS RUNNING.

Count Binface is part of the grand British tradition of joke candidates who stand as a protest option. They usually don't get enough votes to get their deposit back (which is supposed to deter unserious people) but they don't care, because DEMOCRACY.

Of course, Count Binface has never won, but it is hilarious to see a completely serious pathetic fascist concede defeat while standing next to a man with a bin on his head to whom they are democratically equal.

But if nobody else is standing. And if enough people in Clacton-on-Sea are finally cheesed off enough with Farage not doing anything for them, there is just a chance that one of the funniest things to ever happen in politics will happen.

Imagine. Imagine for just a moment that the Grotesque Fascist not only loses, but loses to Count Binface.

I wanna talk about Brown.

The Greys, with their extremes, White & Black, are symmetrical mixtures of the 3 wavelengths we can perceive. I phrase it this way to highlight that Brown is the color space for all of the asymmetrical mixtures of all three colors.

Indoorsy folks and the artistically disinclined can tend to think Brown is boring, because their principle experience with Brown is chromatically homogenous brown liquids, like coffee, tea, brown-painted surfaces, etc.

Outdoorsy types, and Artists with a good Eye, on the other hand, often find that natural Browns are rich in detail and often quite beautiful, once the internal structure of their mix is revealed:

But really Seeing, not just Looking, is a skill, like the rest, and just because of how time works the most experienced folks are gonna be older. Makes sense we’d care about Brown more.

In particular, brown is complex asymmetrical mix of wavelengths – all, not just those perceived by our eyes – where most of them falls somewhere between Red, that we perceive as Red, and Yellow, that we perceive as Equally Distant From Red And Green. It's a shimmering complex mix of tones that primarily come from organic compounds.

Green means Chlorophyll, which means Plant Life That's Living And Transforming Light Into Itself Right Now;

Brown means Any Of Myriad Organic Compounds And Probably Lots Of Them. Brown means So Much Life Processes Happened Here. Brown means Life Was Here And Transformed This;

Green and Brown mean You Can Live Here.

Once you know this it's really hard not to fall in love with Brown.

Yeah the show that had a debate about a racist advertisement and one of the main characters getting turned down by a lesbian who had a crush on his mom and one of the other characters marrying a protester who was arrested for fighting for Indigenous rights and a side character with two dads and a very famous quote about the working class having skills and not being slaves and another famous quote about being a shield for minorities and a black disabled best friend who is from a higher tax bracket than the poor white main character and constant commentary on class -

Yeah, that show? It's now too woke and shitty because they put in a non-binary character after famously introducing one of the characters with a genderless baby gag and because they made the black disabled character gay.

(And not because three heavily queer coded characters may or may not be in a poly relationship and may have cloned themselves? Because that's too confusing to yell about easily in concise tweets.)

quick what’s ur opinion on tea. everyone who sees this is obligated to answer in some way

#tea fiend.#I like just about any tea I can get my little raccoon hands on #save for Bell tea #because it tastes of sadness.#Once when I came home from a week at camp I burst into tears because I was able to have a nice cuppa tea again.

the joy of working with middle school aged children is that, regardless of how long you've been doing it, they will always find novel ways to annoy and confuse you, which is okay because that's the natural state of the middle school aged child. anyway suffice it to say that for the past three weeks of school my 6th grade class has been greeting me at my door by lining up outside of it, playing the national anthem, and saluting me as i walk in.
