The Bipplys was an American staple, featuring on Saturday morning cartoon channels frequently in its heyday. It’s main audience was children, and the main draw was violence. Unspeakable, dramatic violence. No setup, nor punchline. A man would walk onto the set, face the camera, and fall down dead. Hard cut to a family in the park. The son disappears. The mother frantically looks around and calls for him. Cut. We are in a shopping mall. There is an infant left in a stroller, on both sides surrounded by people walking the grand and roomy walkways paved with kitschy home furnishing stores and a Spencer’s. The infant begins to wail, and as the camera pans out, it slowly becomes inaudible. The hungry crowd swallows the sound, and soon, so too will the stroller with infant inside join. Fade to black.
do something nice for yourself today, ideally MORE than one thing, but at least one.
it can be as small as making a cup of tea with a flavor you like or taking a second to sip on your coffee, really pay attention to how it tastes and the feeling of the warm cup in your hands.
take an extra break at work. take it in the bathroom if you have to, but give yourself that extra time. deep breaths.
get a little snack. something that you might not normally allow yourself.
i love all the predictions like “lol we’re gonna find out through supernatural XD” and i wake up and TURNS OUT we’re finding out because all my mutuals are reblogging and posting variations of “queer ppl do not kill yourself” which. jesus ok.
If it makes any of you feel better, Donald Trump will have an uphill battle to change the constitution. He will need:
-2/3 of Senators (60)
-2/3 of the House of Representatives (290)
-¾ of the states (38)
In 2026, 33 senate seats will be up for grabs, and we’ll be able to vote for people who are against Trump and his ideals.
Breathe and remain hopeful because it’s not over. We can still fight and make Trump’s last four years hell.
This is so important. Also pay attention to local elections. Now more than ever it’s important to have staunch anti Trump democrats at every level of government - from school boards to senate seats. Apathy and not voting helped Trump win. Now is the time to wake up and get serious and hold on to the freedoms we have left. We have got to fight for every inch of territory. Do not give up. Do not give him any more power than he already has.
To all those who don’t know I posted a Fiverr gig for anyone who wants a narrative designer for their project. Whether if it’s for a comic, video game, it does not matter, I promise to write and make it an engaging story. But also recently I was made aware that people may commission for fanfic or fan game writing in stead. For people looking for that these are the anime’s I am well aware and familiar with if you want a fanfic or fan game about them: Dragon Ball Z, Fairy Tail, Little Witch Academia, RWBY, Final Fantasy, The Legend of Zelda, Danganronpa, BNA, Gundam: The Witch of Mercury, Sonic the Hedgehog, Amphibia, the Owl House, Undertale, Deltarune, Nasuverse, Disgaea, and Omori. If you want a fanfic written about these works please contact me, this will be updated on the Fiverr gig too along with some other important information. That is all and have a good day ❤️
Stay alive for every other trans person fighting, stay alive for every trans person who is no longer here, and most importantly stay alive for yourself.
They don’t get to erase us! They don’t get to take away our rights, and treat us as less than human. Don’t let them erase us, and don’t let them make you a statistic. Don’t let them win.
Stay alive
If you won’t do it for yourself, then do it for others. Do it out of spite.
“Third party traitors deserve to be mocked and punished like the fascists” you should know that you sound exactly like a fascist right now and might want to look into how and why if you don’t want to be one.
I think a healthy thing to do after a United States election is to publicly describe visions of impending scenarios from your young adult dystopia novel of choice with ironclad certainty
im seeing a lot of “queer people dont kill yourselves” posts and yes, i agree but also poc folks dont kill yourselves. you’re needed in this space just as much as the white folks are. we will get through this hand in hand together
You know people who are trying to get pregnant? No you don’t.
You know someone on their period? No you don’t.
You know people who have any other religion than Christianity? No you don’t.
You know people who aren’t religious?
You know people who voted blue? No you don’t.
You know disabled people? No you don’t.
You know someone who had an abortion? No you don’t.
You know someone who was/is at a protest? No you don’t.
Be safe on the internet. Especially on sites owned by Trump’s friends and allies.
And if you have to, keep yourself safe. Check your social media. Delete posts that can get you or people you know into trouble.
Do NOT keep track of your period in a traceable way. Whether its on paper or digitally.
Talking about politics can be turned dangerous. Be aware who and where you talk.
Be aware of devices like phones keeping track of you. A lot of new cars keep track of where you’re going. If things like the FBI are no longer independent, this will get dangerous. Even pictures are traceable.
If you have to go somewhere that will now be dangerous if someone knows, do not bring smart devices. If you need a phone on you in case you need to call for help: old phones or burner phones.

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem
girls are contributing, too. the coquette aesthetic, the “i don’t want to girlboss i want a man to pay my bills”, girlmath girljob girlmoney. it’s a joke, it’s clothes, it’s whatever, i get it but it is driving a mentality of traditional gender roles and you know you’re joking but your boyfriend doesn’t. your kid brother doesn’t. you have to stop this shit it is a contributing factor
I woke up and checked things and started to spiral.
And then I took a deep breath.
Okay kids. It’s time to listen to your organizer elders.
I don’t care if every call is reversed and she wins by 30 electoral points.
Get involved. Do one thing to make the world better: mutual aid, volunteer, join your local political groups, read to kids, go to community groups.
Survival on this blue spinning ball means coalition building. It means accepting you save the world by doing what you are good at and sharing it with others.
It means to stop looking for saviors in your political choices, and also not crucifying them. It means getting away from political purity and ideology and fucking working toward the next one and the next one.
Political change is different than political theater. It takes work. So much work. And if you are tired, tap out, but don’t leave the game.
Guess what happened tonight?
The first openly Trans woman was elected to congress.
2 black women are serving together in the senate.
It is ugly and it sucks and we need to take a breath, take a nap, and then get up off the mat.
We can do better.
But we gotta do it together.
Wallow as you need but turn that emotion into fuel. Canada, too.
I’m not in the US, but we also recently had a shit of an election. I needed this post.
Come together. The more of us there are, the more we can tap someone else in when we need a break.
Never mention a possible pregnancy/abortion to anyone, especially not through a social media app messaging service such as messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, Snapchat, etc.
Delete all period tracking apps and to start tracking using a planner or physical calendar
Book appointments for a form of birth control if possible, or to always carry condoms for yourself and other
Look into sterilization options if that is the route you want to go down (here is a list of 1000 doctors willing to sterilize you without a fight)
Protect your fellow person, protect the women in your life, the queer people, the disabled people, everyone will be affected by this
Form communities. Tell your people that you love them. Protect one another. Check in on one another. None of us are alone.
If by some miracle sweet potato Hitler doesn’t win come the end of the week, this won’t be necessary, but should he win here are some of the first things to be aware of or do.
If you know a trans person, no you don’t. Respect them as best you can in private but you know nothing in public.
Be aware that TikTok will likely be banned, find new platforms to spread information. Fuck Twitter and what ever tiktok replacement he’s working on.
Learn to Garden, even in winter so you can feed yourself should prices skyrocket
Get an air purifier. The Clean Air Act is likely to be stripped of its power with the EPA deregulated, air quality is going to suffer
Should you have kids, try to supplement history/social studies education. That’s the first place they will attack, if you need help ask, history teacher will help
Try and do what you can to be aware of your health before January.
Help one another. That’s the best way we can move forward and make change in the future.
