i am pleasantly shocked that this was reblogged by a Trump supporter - hi trump supporter!

I have a lot of questions for you, and judging entirely by your post, you seem like someone who may be open to dialogue. Would I be correct on this?

I guess my primary question is why would you still support someone who is the personification of everything you say you are not?

Bonus question: as a Trump supporter and a librarian (btw, librarians are my heroes), how do you feel about the increase in book bans by organisations such as Moms For Liberty (who are supported by Trump and other republicans)?

Thanks 👍

Hot Tip on Fighting the MAGAs -

Don't. At least not physically.

Instead, fight them by being the opposite of them.

When they spread hate, spread kindness.

When they try and divide, include.

When they speak lies and rumours, learn facts and truths.

When they act with anger and rage, stay peaceful and content.

When they show their ignorance, educate yourself.

Is this easy? Nope.

Will it change MAGA? Highly doubtful.

What it will do, is show others' that there is hope, that there is good, and it will be a reminder to keep on going, keep on trying, DO NOT GIVE UP.

Getting uncontrollably angry, feeling despair, being less-than-kind (even to those that may not deserve it 😬), won't make you feel better, and likely won't help in the long run.

DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DRAGGED DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL.

good afternoon, left wing hive mind

how we all doing today? You good, Well... Surviving? GREAT, CONTINUE DOING THAT!

Saw this and it made me smile:

Something that helps me not feel so fucking angry is remembering that nobody is immune to propaganda.

It's a bit like how they say that forgiveness is really for the victim's sake rather than the perpetrator.

Reminding myself that many people are really, really, really, really, really, really fucking stupid rather than evil let's me get a bit of balance back.

Look after yourself, and support your library!

reminder-

It's more important now than ever before to HAVE FUN AND ENJOY LIFE when you can.

Today is Saturday - stop looking at the news and go and write some JJK headcanons or like some fanart or whatever you guys do on Tumblr.

message your friend.

eat a really amazing snack.

listen to music.

Have a good day!

Cortis0l, millennial.

personal blog created so I could shit post about politics, life, and whatever else I feel like chatting about.

I'm usually found annoying people in an extremely small and niche anime fandom.

I love dogs.

I actually like humans too. In small doses.

I'm kinda dense, but I try to be kind.

mindfulness alternatives for people who find it boring but really need to switch off for a bit

Writing this because I am tired of trying to sit still with my eyes closed and not think IT DOESNT WORK FOR ME.

But I have found the following to be e f f e c t i v e ~

Painting your nails

Hanging out with a dog/guinea pig/hamster

Building with Lego (providing you don't take it super seriously and get annoyed when you realise you've missed a piece several steps back 🤬)

Qigong - it's a moving-meditation-breathwork-exercise(?) It's good, anyway (Qigong With Kseny on YouTube is good)

Gardening. Indoor plants count. Go stick your fingers in the soil for a bit it's amazing

Colouring

Watching cartoons or anime

TETRIS. It's been proven to help people with PTSD, too

Reading is never going to be bad for you

Walking. Yeah I know 🙄 but people rave about it BECAUSE IT WORKS. It actually makes you feel better. Especially if you slow down and pay attention to the small details in the environment. You'll notice things you've been missing for years, and that's quite cool.

MORNING, AMERICANS!

How you guys doing today? Have you given the one finger salute to your great orange leader this morning 🖕?

Stay rebellious, be disruptive, don't snitch, and keep on going 💪

Billionaires in real life:

I guess No Face is realistically like a billionaire; uses the promise of wealth and then eats the people lol. But it feels like libel slander to taint No Face's name by associating him with Musk and the like.

Good Morning Americans

You are cared about, you are supported, you are tough,

DO NOT GIVE UP.

Have a good day... Or better yet, MAKE some good in your day 💪

🌟MORE STUFF THAT MAY HELP SOMEONE🌟

•If you want to go foraging, make sure you use a book/guide that has hand drawn illustrations that have been done by an actual human. DO NOT USE PHOTOGRAPHS. If it's drawn by hand, it ensures that everything that is in that picture is MEANT to be there. And if in doubt, don't bloody eat it!

•Journaling your thoughts and worries on paper is good for you, accessible, cheap, and can't be hacked or flagged. Just saying.

•Now is the time to do everything you can to look after your health - physical, mental, spiritual.

•Keep up to date with what's going on, but set a limit. 10minutes to check what fuckery has happened, then go and laugh at some memes or hang out with your dog.

•Speaking of dogs, do you have a dog? Has your dog been acting STRANGE lately (and it's not because they're a Husky or they're unwell?) It could be that they're picking up on your stress. If you've had a particularly bad day, when you get home treat yourself to a shower and wash the stress stink off you. Your dog will thank you (and it'll make you feel better too).

•SPEAKING OF DOGS AGAIN: Honey is awesome for small cuts and grazes (it's antiseptic, forms a barrier, and won't kill them if they lick it, which they will). Tick tweezers are handy. Hibiscrub (a soap used by surgeons to clean their hands/surgery site) is great to have for you and your mutt. You can use it neat (it'll sting) or diluted on minor cuts or grazes. Old baby socks can be used for poorly paws. *PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR VET BEFORE USING HONEY (diabetic dog?) OR HIBISCRUB - I really don't want to make anyones dog sick by trying to help - SO PLEASE CHECK BEFORE YOU LISTEN TO SOME IDIOT ON TUMBLR

•If you need help, ask. Someone will be able to help you.

•Continue to do things you enjoy. Go and play a game/draw/build with Lego etc.

•Know that you're not on your own. You have millions of allies across the globe who have your back.

•Do not give up, do not give up, do not give up. You're important, the world needs you, and you're tougher than you think. You can get through this.

Bonus: USE YOUR LIBRARIES! THEY'RE AMAZING!

*DISCLAIMER JUST IN CASE IT WAS MISSED* always check with your vet prior to trying anything new on your dog!!

stopping by to say -

Support your libraries guys! They got books! Internet! Information! They're the last bastion of community, and librarians are heroes.

Learn first aid - it can save lives. When you're clued up on it, teach it to others.

If you're able to, try and buy a couple of extra canned items/water when you do your weekly food shop. Don't forget first aid items and toiletries. It doesn't have to be tonnes, but it doesn't hurt to have a couple of extras.

Try and find some happiness in each day. Finding some form of positivity or laughing is a form of rebellion. Do not let the fuckers get you down.

Exercise. Literally no cons to this (sorry). YouTube has lots of great videos that require no equipment.

Learn to fix things! Fixing your own stuff instead of buying new is another form of rebellion and saves you some money.

Look after each other. Check in on people.

Controversial one, maybe: it's good to have discussions with people that have different views. CIVILISED discussions. SAFE discussions. Of course, choose who you speak to carefully, and disregard this entirely if you want to, but I'm gonna throw it out there.

Teach each other skills. Do you know how to can food? Awesome, teach your friend, and ask him to teach you how to grow veggies in return.

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up. Remember that you've survived every single bad day of your life. You're tough, you can do it.
