THE LAST OF US — 01 x 03, “Long, Long Time”

[fireyocean92]

In these doomed times, what we need most is the drive to push forward.

Quote directly taken from this tweet the official Sonic Twitter posted last time that orange fuck became president.

First results are in!

Trump- 0.022 gallons, 2.10 ft

Musk 0.024 gallons, 2.23 ft

Early reports suggest that Musk has outurinated Trump in both volume and range. Stay tuned for news on how many people have lost their jobs and/or been wrongfully arrested as a result.

this win feels even sweeter after thinking about how much money conservatives probably put into those YouTube ads. I won't ever have to hear "carbon tax carney again" thank fuck

nothing like a ceasefire where hamas violates the agreement terms (not releasing civilians as agreed) on week two just so they can force four idf soldiers kidnapped from their beds, bleeding in their pajamas, to be paraded on stage drugged and at gunpoint wearing homemade military uniforms in front of hundreds of terrorists and jeering crowds, after 476 days of barely even seeing daylight

TERFS FUCK OFF

While people on twitter are debating "but what if I WANT to shave!!!", women, specially women of color, are MURDERED EVERY DAY for being women. We have a word for it: femicide.

The most dangerous place for a lot of women is their own home. And the most dangerous people are often the ones closest to them. A father, a husband, an ex-boyfriend. (Reminder that women can also perpetrate femicide.)

Tradwife-ism and "I'm just a girl" reinforce the very same ideology that leads to femicide. Controlling women inside the home. If they "step out of line"? At best, they're left without resources of their own. At worst? They're murdered. This is real life.

And if a woman can't provide for herself? She needs disabled rights. She (and everyone) needs universal basic income. She needs a support net. She DOES NOT NEED TO BE UNDER A MAN'S MERCY.

Never stop being a loud feminist. No peace until all women are treated as equals. No peace until every woman, SPECIALLY WOMEN OF COLOR, can feel truly safe and free. Trans women obviously included.

I speak from a brazilian perspective. Over 1.800 women in Brazil were victims of femicide in 2024. More than 2.000 women suffered attempts against their lives. It's very unfortunately possible that from those 2.000, some might have been killed this year, since the people who do those attempts often try again. And I completely believe that those numbers are under-reported, and more femicides are just labeled as homicides instead because of "lack of proof".

WOMEN ARE DYING. BE LOUD, "OBNOXIOUS" AND DEMANDING OF GENDER EQUALITY. CALL OUT BULLSHIT WHEN YOU SEE IT.

Don't fall for cultural setbacks. Don't let cute aesthetics and personal tastes wash away decades of progress.

Patron saints for US election aftermath

Below are some saints I humbly recommend to pray to as the United States faces this new and challenging era after the results of our recent election. Those that use prayer for intercession may find comfort in learning more about the saints below, and building a communication with them.

Social justice — St. Martín de Porres Poverty — St. Francis of Assisi Women — St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Immigrants — St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Racial justice — St. Katharine Drexel Ecology and environment — St. Kateri Tekakwitha (the first Indigenous American saint) Education/teachers — St. John Baptist de La Salle

If you'd like, I have included some notes and extras below —

Please if you can, take some time to learn about St. Martín de Porres! His soul is beautiful and his work was absolutely selfless as he cared for others in the face of social abuse and adversity. He really is someone to aspire to be like.

I nominate St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in this particular instance as it's difficult to pin down a definitive patron saint of women (all of my cross-references didn't produce a strong label on any one saint; many were for mothers or some other aspect attributed to womanhood, so there are many options). But St. Elizabeth was the first American-born citizen to be canonized as a saint, and in her life she started a Catholic school for girls. She is most known for founding of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Joseph’s, the first religious order in America who contributed significant humanitarian work. In the wake of the US election results, I think she is an apt choice for connecting with for intercession.

I'm a biased St. Joan D'Arc follower, but hear me out. She was the crux of saving her home country from the very literal brink of being lost to Britain in a war that spanned a century. She rallied the last skeleton crew of the remaining French monarchal power that had all but been defeated already, and helped to take their name and land back from the English. I will be continuing to pray to her regularly to help find ways to fight for our freedom and remain courageous. I encourage others to do the same if you pray to her, or would like to start.

While I wish I had a suggestion for a saint to pray to for the LGBTQIA+ community, as they are adopted through history (St. Sebastian) or are not strictly official. But there are some interesting perspectives to find online, I just couldn't find a saint I could comfortably name with my whole chest for this particular group. I was intrigued by some responses on this Quora thread on the matter in question.

As always, these are only suggestions based on my imperfect research, as I am still newly navigating my reclaimed faith. If you have other patrons to recommend, please add them in a reblog so that others may learn about them.

TO ANYONE THAT NEEDS IT:

I don't like dragging real world events into my comforts but… this is really needed. Please take care of yourselves. It isn't over yet.

Not to spread conspiracy theories but I think that The Atlantic Editor getting added to an unsecured group chat about One single Bombing when the US hands out bombs like candy was bait. I think they wanted the Atlantic to do anything besides ignore it, so they could arrest them on charges of treason and revealing information that could put national security at risk or something.

Like It was a no win scenario if that editor did ANYTHING other than assume it was a hoax before the actual bombing confirmed it. If you tell anybody, then you’re revealing national secrets.

I feel like we’re going to be seeing a lot more stories about information getting “leaked” to journalists than those organizations getting shut down for “compromising national security” or some other bullshit. I wouldn’t be surprised if an unbiased news organization got “accidentally” sent more war plans in the future, and were immediately silenced by the government in retaliation. Does anyone else feel like it’s just such a convenient set up for team Trump, despite them looking foolish for a short time? Thank god that journalist knew what they were doing.
