Happy Easter! It’s been awhile :)

Happy Easter, the day celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ himself. I’m actually not sure if I’ve mentioned being Christian on here before, but I am

So, here is my reminder to all that Christians are meant to follow in the teachings of Christ, and not spread hate. No, not even hate to 2SLGBTQ+ people, to POCs, to disabled or neurodivergent people, or to people of any other religion

Just thought some people need to hear that, that all of those people are also worthy of love and support and you do not get to freely hate due to your “religious beliefs.” No matter if someone is poor or promiscuous, gay or trans, autistic or depressed or using a wheelchair, Jesus would have spared them the time of day. Remember that it is your duty to, too

Happy Easter to all who celebrate, and my sincerest apologies to anyone who has to fight off die-hard “Christians” every time they do over for Sunday Dinner. It gets better, I promise

So. Tariffs.

Again.

Donald Trump officially brought his tariffs onto American-made products sold in Canada and Mexico.

I don’t have much to say other than Heinz ketchup costs $2 more.

The economy is gonna crash.

A hundred years post-The Roaring 20’s, it’s the Roaring 2020’s. After the 20’s, the Depression hit.

Like ABBA said, “The history book on the shelf is always repeating itself.”

Fucking hell

On tariffs being postponed

Donald Trump postponed the tariffs that were set to be implemented in Canada in February to be reinstated later. Why?

In my opinion, to some extent, he knows that it will actually do only bad things for his economy.

People will boycott American-made products, and those American companies will, possibly, have to lay off employees. That’s not good for the economy.

Or they may just simply lose enough profit to no longer fund their own production, and disperse the company. That’s not good for the economy, either.

Or Canada will shut off the power grid and raise the prices of their minerals they sell to America. That’s not good for the economy.

Donald Trump never was the option for the economy. He was the option if you want a bigoted dictatorship. If you can’t see that, there is a big problem with how you view him.

If you’re a queer person and voted for him, you voted against yourself. If you’re a poor person and voted for him, you voted against yourself. If you’re a POC who voted for him, you voted against yourself. If you’re a woman who voted for him, you voted against yourself. If you’re a non-Christian who voted for him, you voted against yourself.

At this point in time, I can no longer hold sympathy for those who wanted his presidency. If you did, or still do, just put the eagle on your coat in the same place the swastika was on Nazi uniforms.

He never wanted to boost the economy, he wanted to make himself king.

imagine how much of a fucking horrible person you have to be that on the first day your elected into office the crisis calls of a Suicide Prevention Project Go Up 33%. The Trevor Project Received over 1,400 Call By Early Monday Afternoon. Most of those calls, if not all, are coming from children. Children scared of you and what you will do. Imagine how much power and how horrible you have to be to do that.

So. Tariffs.

What is a tariff? It’s a tax placed on foreign items, to be put simply.

Why are they bad? More money for products = less products being bought = less jobs as people get laid off = more poverty.

Or, more money for products = people going into debt = more poverty.

Or, more money for products = people skipping over (sometimes necessary) products = people less able to stay healthy = medical bills = more poverty.

Do they work? No.

How do we know? The Great Depression.

Am I sure? Yes.

Are they good for anyone? No.

Are they good for any economy? No.

Was putting Trump in office a good idea? No.

Are people going to suffer because of his policies and his actions?

Yes.

On social media and why I hate it

I hate billionaires. I hate Elon Musk. I hate Mark Zuckerburg. I hate Donald Trump. If for nothing else, I hate them because they’re billionaires.

Now, I don’t hate Twitter, I hate who owns it. I hate who ruined it. But because I’m not too keen to be associated with the “man” who owns Twitter, I deleted my Twitter account. I hate that I did, but I don’t hate why I did. I hate that I was forced to choose between supporting a billionaire or being able to share my opinions on there.

I don’t hate Instagram, I hate who owns it. Unfortunately, there are too many people in which I can only communicate with them via Instagram for me to delete it. If I’m supporting a billionaire, I may as well use that product for something good for me. If I felt I could, I would delete my Instagram. But I can’t, and I hate that.

I don’t hate TikTok, I hate the person who used it as a propaganda weapon. I don’t want to be associated with that, so I deleted my TikTok. I hate that I did, but again, I don’t hate why I did. I hate that I did have to leave some connections and memories behind in there, and I hate that it was either support that propaganda or keep my friends and memories.

I don’t hate social media, I hate who runs it. I already hated Snapchat. Now I hate TikTok. I hate Instagram. I hate Twitter. Sadly, the people who own them have become irrevocably tied to their apps, which means I have to, to some extent, hate the app. Which then means I must, to some extent, hate social media as a whole.

On chaos and why humanity will never be fully united (and why that’s a good thing)

Recently, I realized that chaos is man’s default, and order is a mere façade, holding back the illogical. In any given emergency, people will revert to their last sense: a sense of survival. Desperation makes people do things that may have never even crossed their minds previously, and this fact scares people. When the public becomes desperate, revolt follows suit. Rallies, protests, riots.

They all come after one thing: fear. When the people become fearful that their leaders will let them down, they resort to what they’re programmed to know, which is violence. When the government’s power splits them from their people, they draw a barrier that they cannot cross. The people may migrate into the power, but those in power will never again be a part of the people.

The further we delve into an oligarchy, into a dictatorship, the more restless people become. Previously, such advances have power have been small, as to keep us docile. But now, as governments expand and abuse their powers tenfold, we grow worried. We grow antsy. And eventually, we revolt.

Should we stay silent and obedient, history will repeat itself. Germans have warned the American people of the dangers Trump’s presidency holds, and that should it continue to worsen, we will have another war on our hands.

We can’t stay silent, for the only people spared in war are the rich, white, straight, cisgender, neurotypical men. I doubt many people fit every category there.

Please use whatever platforms you have to speak out, for good. But more importantly, make sure you stay safe. The strongest revolt against genocide is to stay alive.

I just deleted probably four or five reblogs from my page that were reblogs of Neil Gaiman. Being one of the few celebrities on Tumblr that has stayed on Tumblr through the years, he had some good reblogs. Unfortunately, he is not a good person.

I believe in sharing your thoughts. I believe that your opinions make up most of your character. I also believe that promoting the names of awful people on your blog is kind of a weird thing to do.

Were those reblogs relevant and did I completely agree with what was being said? Of course, that’s why they’re reblogs. Would I rather keep his name far, FAR away from my opinions and public appearance? YES.

The reason I even remembered I reblogged these things is because I was looking at the tags I was following, one of which was Neil Gaiman. I found that that tag has hundreds of thousands of posts and such, even as we know what we do about him. And what we know is exceptionally unsavoury.

Fuck you, Neil Gaiman. We thought you were good. FUCK you, Neil Gaiman. Get your sorry fucking ass off Tumblr, and off the internet, and get your fucking name away from Good Omens and Coraline and that one falafel episode of Arthur.

I would rather see people have to find new ways to express their opinions, rather than affiliate with the fucking scum Neil Gaiman is.

so when trump takes office on monday and “saves tiktok” with a 90 day extension on the tiktok ban decision, then during that period mark zuckerberg “suddenly” decided to buy tiktok and have meta absorb it, then what.

trump created this problem when he introduced the tiktok ban in his first term and he’s going to take credit for “solving” it now. the tiktok ceo made a video thanking trump for “understanding the app” then the error message says we are grateful to trump for working with us on this ?? AND he’s invited to sit front row at the inauguration??? oh also new facebook/tiktok integrations popping up today ???

trump’s dick is in the tiktok ceo’s mouth the deal is already done

[chronicmusicnerd]

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.

[chronicmusicnerd]

we dumped tea into the harbor for less

[chronicmusicnerd]

Already seeing people on tiktok saying “I still hate trump but he ate with this one” like … babes … you just got propagandized … that’s literally exactly what he created this situation in the hopes you would say …
