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)

-3/4 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.

I am feeling so many things right now, and idk I think I just need somewhere to put them and where better than here. I am a young woman living in South London. I am not directly impacted by recent events. But I am at the same time - which is a contradictory statement but bare with me.

I have never felt more terrified for other people. I find myself watching the news, checking articles, waiting for something I know is so very unlikely to happen. Between politics and global warming, it feels like the world is ending and moving backwards all at once.

And yet, I have never wanted to have as much hope for other people as I do now. This is something which I am talking about constantly, something which we must all talk about constantly. If we stop talking we become complacent and accepting - so many of my friends, teenage girls, just brush it off. And I find myself wanting them to feel the same anger that I feel.

We must talk about Palestine. We must talk about feminism and LGBTQ+ rights, and black rights. We must talk about global warming, and Afghanistan, and Ukraine, and America. And so so so many more. We must never ever ever stop talking about anything that is important to us and to others!!!

It sometimes feels impossible. Unfortunately, I'm not able to donate to fundraisers, which are currently a very popular form of support.

But then we have to look at what we can do. We can speak, we can march, we can reblog and repost, we can spread awareness, we can challenge and educate those we know. No matter what it is, no matter how big or small, we must never stop!!

Make that poster! Make those Zines, write that random thing, sing that song, support that artist! Build a community of people who believe in the same things you do - who care just as much as you do.

I don't know. I think we all just need some hope at the moment.

y’all should reblog and put in the tags what your first concert and your last concert were, and what your next concert will be if you know

artists of Tumblr, I have a question which I am too scared to put into ppl's inboxes,

if someone (me) wanted to do embroidery of your art for personal use, is that like acceptable? If I ask? Idk? Then again, I suppose it'd be a personal choice, I just wanna know what ppl say

the moment it becomes sunny it's like

Oh my God Dirty Computer is that you girl

Dirty Computer? I hardly know 'er.

It'll be an ordinary Friday night/early Saturday morning and suddenly I'll be feeling the most gut wrenching, Victorian mourning, begging, pleading, sadness.

What do you mean, "Orpheus, are you listening? I'm right here, (we're all right here), and I will be 'til the end (til the end), and the coldest night of the coldest year comes right before the spring." how can you write that and expect me to be normal about it. I actually can't explain the hole in my chest, or the sickness in my heart. and then to go on and casually write, "Orpheus, you are not alone, I'm right behind you, (we're all behind you), and I have been all along. And the darkest hour of the darkest night comes right before- "

AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN SICK TO MY MOUTH, SICK TO MY STOMACH, SICK TO MY HEART AND MY TEETH AND MY BONES, ugly crying, five year old lump in my throat, toddler tears,

And I think I only really got Road To Hell (Reprise) today because I was listening to it on loop (I went to see the show yesterday, it left me sobbing) "But we sing it anyway," THAT LINE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. To have the ending of the show, be the beginning. "to know how it ends and still begin to sing it again, as if it might turn out this time..." And it's that constant hope, that perhaps he won't turn around, in some retelling, in any retelling. That in some version somewhere, they are happy, and there is that hope. And the music is so lovely. So lovely.

In tears rn but writing this out did make me feel better.

I just finished The Great in three days, have never felt so despondent.

That's all I have. Surprised there isn't more gravity for it on this website - need something to fill the ceaseless pit in my stomach.

Am I saying this will be your new favourite show? That it will make you smile and shiver and puzzle and delight? That it's something really special? That it will ease the pain of waiting for other shows to happen?

Yes. I am saying that.

It's SO good. And it starts in three weeks...

On Being A Twin And Ghost Quartet

I'm a twin. Non-identical. Fraternal. Both of us, are female.

One of our favourite things to do is identify ourselves in media - I'm Rasputin, she's Tsar Nicholas the II. I'm Kurtan Mucklowe, she's Kerry Mucklowe. You get the idea. I'm Pierre Bezukhov she's Anatole Kuragin.

You get the idea.

One of our favourite things to do is to act out the entirety of Ghost Quartet, just the two of us. And beyond vocal range, always, I have been Rose Red and she is Pearl White. We joke about it and we laugh about it, but at the same time there is something so sort of... true about it. (guys one of us is on tumblr the other one isn't - who do you think is more popular) I am a lot less rational than she is, more inclined to be harsh and sharp and pointy, my sister's more inclined to be charming and funny and - not softer - but perhaps nicer, less vengeful in a way. Idk what the point of this was, but something about the sister's in this musical just always resonated with me. Especially, the part about the Binary Stars. My sister has been with me - always. We listen to similar music - not always - but we do, we have the same shitty sense of humour, the same classes, the same trips and circles of friends. But also, we are completely different. Different fashion sense, different interests, different dispositions and social awareness (currently being suspected of being neurodivergent ngl), different faces. Shit, our hair is completely different. Her hair is straight, but my hair is curly ringlets. (mum's mixed race, dad's white) But she has always been with me. Not a day goes by when I don't see her face or play fight her or tell her I love her. I will never be alone, because even if we are on different sides of the globe, I have my sister.

Idk where this was going.

yeah, being a twin and liking ghost quartet together. Idk.

not to be too weird but

Nikola Orsinov cosplayer at London comicon last year I think of you constantly

Like

Never rlly seen TMA in public before and you were just there and I think you were brilliant. I also thought the likelihood you have a tumblr is high. You told me you were at a table with an Agnes Montague and Jane Prentiss upstairs and I think about that ALL THE TIME I would've loved to come and see it but we were leaving and I hate myself for it a little bit

anyways
