AMERICANS. you are NOT cooked yet! you are in the pan and the burner is on but it is up to you to turn off the stove! and you can!!!!!
Baby we have been stirfried
L + telling yourself it’s too late only serves to disincentive you from trying to make a change + it’s gonna be hard and it’s never gonna be perfect but you gotta try the best you can to make things better + ratio
i feel like it’s absolutely crucial in the social justice world to take “he a little confused but he got the spirit” and similar sentiments/situations as a Win. intent is so much more important than saying it right the first time! if someone is approaching with scuffed language and incorrect terms but they’re visibly being as polite as they know how, that person is a friend and should be treated better than what their words might invite in someone else’s mouth.
so I’m a lifelong atheist and I’ve never actually read the bible but this guy sure seems like he has ADHD
you’re telling me he hyperfocused so hard he created the whole world in 6 days, then got kinda tired of it and didn’t really do anything until the project started going wrong at which point he tried in frustration to flood the whole thing so he could start over
“with the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day” bestie it is time to get tested
I unironically love the theological hot takes on this site.
hey look, shit is about to get very dark but I promise you it gets 1000x darker if you let this tip you into the conspiratorial bullshit mines. cut that out. not even for fun, this is not a joke.
if you relax gun laws during your presidential term and run your current presidential campaign on how you’ll relax those laws even more, don’t be fucking shocked when someone takes advantage of YOUR laws to shoot your ear off
in all seriousness, here at evilsoup.tumblr.com we believe that political assassinations aren’t generally effective, that they tend to provide opportunities for state crackdowns on dissent and the further shrinking of democracy, and that even to the extent they do work they train people to look to individual heroic actors rather than to establishing organs of collective action. with that said yes it would have been pretty great to see orange man’s head explode
I’m still pretty new to chess, can anyone tell me what I’m supposed to do if my opponent plays the Eight Fucking Bears opening? I’m really having trouble.
i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.
it effects everything.
being trans is easier when youre white.
being gay is easier when youre white.
being disabled is easier when youre white.
being a woman is easier when youre white.
being autistic is easier when youre white.
oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.
you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.
never forget this.
three things:
1. it’s true
2. white people get pissed when i bring this up/wear this shirt
3. the comments to this thread melted my fucking eyeballs seriously why the fuck are y’all like this
Award for stupidest and worst comment on this yet
As a white South African, that person is full of shit
i think for everyone’s general safety we should start using this specific image like a forum signature at the end of every single post we make for the next little while
t-shirt that says I Survived The Donald Trump Assassination Attempt of ‘24 And All I Got Was This Stupid Sense of Foreboding and the picture beneath is just of the seventh circle of hell
Aaron Bushnell burned himself alive because he felt complicit with the extreme cruelty of the Empire. You’re simply being asked to deflect, to walk away, to refuse. Not even to set yourself on fire. Anyway…

Imagine being a former FBI Special Agent making a video about how you INTENTIONALLY skirted Miranda rights to interrogate suspects in ways that violated their civil rights and NOT STOPPING AT ANY POINT TO QUESTION IF YOU JUST FUCKED THE DOG ON LITERALLY ANY GODDAMN CASE YOU EVER FUCKING WORKED ON BY LOUDLY DECLARING YOU KNOWINGLY VIOLATED PEOPLE’S RIGHTS.
There’s a federal prosecutor hitting this guys in the balls with a bat right now, and I’m not saying I trust that guy either, but I respect the going over he’s doing.
I don’t care if you’re innocent as a newborn lamb: Invoke your right to counsel. I say this as the child of a retired police officer whom I truly believe did his best to NOT violate people’s rights. Invoke your right to counsel. Invoke your right to remain silent. If the authorities ASSUME your guilt because you invoke your right? That’s on them. Not on you.
YOUR SCRIPT IS:
My Name Is _________!
I am going to remain silent and I would like to speak to a lawyer!
Repeat as needed! GIVE THEM NOTHING! THEY WANT YOU TO TRY TO TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF WHATEVER SHIT YOU ARE IN!! DO NOT!

my toxic trait is that i genuinely believe that the side effects of immortality won’t affect me. i have so much stuff i want to learn i won’t even notice the centuries go by. also i’m nosey as hell so the decades-deep gossip would keep myself from isolating from human society because i want to know what’s going on. i would make such a good vampire i stand by this
I think about this tweet all the time this is what gave bisexuals rights
Much like asexuality, they know damn well if they like something without trying it.
Also, them dating anyone puts that person on a stage they might not want to be on, let alone when people can’t be normal about said person’s gender matching the celebrities. They may well have kept it quiet, like Dolly Parton’s anonymous husband
every girl wants to get in a vehicle and flip 3-6 switches overhead in the process of turning it on
When I’m going to get frozen waffles and ramen from Walgreens.
More things should be operated with big thumb switches and knobs and dials and shit.
So, true story. Many, many years ago, I got fired from my first job, at a thrift store. I had just turned 21, and I just started rapid-fire applying to everything I could.
And one of those job applications was for a school bus company. I wound up getting it, it paid 12 bucks an hour, that was a lot at the time. And what’s more, i was pretty good at it.
Most of the buses were the usual American nose-out-front type, but we had 2 of the flat-nose, rear-engine types. I was always drawn to anything mechanical that was weird, unusual, or old. These were all three.
In addition to being an absolute dream to drive, they had an overhead panel! It had, if memory serves, marker lights, a strobe light (in illinois, school buses have strobes sometimes for use in fog), cabin lights, and a couple of fans.
And i used to just flip that shit. Just to do it. And then one day I’m driving the middle schoolers home and one of them spots me doing it, and he asks “Are you just doing that because it’s fun?” I’m 21 and this kid has me dead to fucking rights. But i’m also the cool bus driver. And so I just go “Yeah” in like, the cheesiest cool-adult voice i can manage. And this 11 year old tells me “I can’t blame you.”
One time I was ringing up this sweet older gentleman at the sex shop. I no longer remember what he was buying, just that he was in his fifties and radiated a bumbling gentleness that I had enjoyed.
He was chatting with me as he pulled out cash to pay, “You know, I always thought it would be so much easier to meet ladies. But then you meet a girl and you start chatting and they’re never as impressed that I know Captain Kirk’s middle name as I expected them to be.”
I took his payment with a grin and said, “I dunno, Tiberius is an amazing middle name, it was their loss.”
He looked at me with utter awe, radiating a disbelieving joy that I’d parried his quip so effortlessly with Trekkie lore. “If I were thirty years younger…” he’d said, absolutely delighted.
I didn’t have the heart to tell him I was gay to boot, so I just beamed and wished him a good day. He went out the door with a spring in his step and I still smile to think about it.
*white knuckling the bathroom sink* do NOT infodump ppl about the fact that the first spn fic was a wincest one and that it was posted mere hours after the pilot and that the founder of ao3 was a wincestie and that the first fic on ao3 was wincest too and that the omegaverse as we know it was created by wincest shippers for jared/jensen fics *pointing at myself in the mirror with a shaky hand* ppl will think you’re weird and off-putting you need to control yourself–
it’s fundamental fandom history 😤 and honestly the amount of people who think wincest is an aberration in spn fandom and those that think ao3 shouldn’t allow “problematic” content and be fully censored should know these things so they can be aware of where these cultural juggernauts started.
not them asking naomi novik AKA ASTOLAT if she was okay with incest fics of her characters when she was the one in the trenches writing wincest fics and founding ao3 so people could have a place to post their works without censorship. that’s absolutely hilarious I have to find that post
AO3 was created out of collective effort, and she was the one who started it all. It’s incredible to see how many of her ideas in this proposal ended up actually happening. So many things we now take for granted were crazy dreams at first
The deep history and why I shake my head at people who were toddlers when ao3 was conceived think that they’ll get anywhere with arguments about fandom purity.
Like, there’s a ton of shit on ao3 that I don’t bother with because it is very much not my thing but I am deeply grateful that ao3 exists as it does because the things I do like, even the super fluffy g rated fics, would be considered just as “bad” by various religions and governments. And if I want to be able to read sweet gay coffeeshop found family or wish fulfillment time travel fixit featuring complex qpp and gay ships, the best guarantee of being able to do so is a place where everything goes. Because my “non-problematic” innocent fluff is absolute perversion according to some people. I know because they yelled at me before I turned off anon comments. And even the country I live in used to require unhappy endings for queer characters if it allowed them at all in many forms of media.
I absolutely avoid the kind of fic that ao3 was founded on and I am still deeply grateful that it exists.

“I was just trying to find some zaza and then i just like stumble on a hidden room. Some bitch says to me ‘offer a piece of your soul’ so i do cause here goes nothin i aint got anything better to do. I got some lore in exchange tho (the ancient texts of old on a stone slab)”
been steadily unfollowing annoying people i don’t remember following on my dash, which unfortunately only ends up making room for more, worse people i don’t remember following on my dash
I’m so tired of the expectation for disabled people to be positive. no I’m angry, I’m allowed to be upset about my progressing illnesses. let disabled people be fucking angry.
You know ever, since I started working with two stutterers, I’ve grown a lot less tolerable of the “Biden is on a mental decline because he’s stuttering” crowd.
“He’s putting in weird pauses” that’s a stutter" “He’s switching words” that’s also the stutter" “He’s doing a bunch of filler words” that’s a stutter too “he’s declining” I could literally look up a video of him in 2013 of him doing all this. He’s doing it more thanks to his age, yes, but that’s not inherently a sign of cognitive decline.
Hollywood has really screwed over people who stutter by giving them this blatantly false representation of them as stupid or scared or just plain not showing how it w-w-w-w-works (yes, that’s a form of stutter, but it’s not the only form a stutter can take). A stutter is not a sign of weakness or stupidity and even if you don’t give a shit about Biden you should realize how that’s rebounding onto every person that stutters.
I hate when I drink all of my drink and there’s no drink left. What the fuckkkkkkk. #sickandtwisted
