#Georgia

[threefeline]

Like we literally have a sliver of a chance at getting Blue Georgia and Blue North Carolina in this years election and genuinely it feels like people are just willing to throw that out. Hell, even Texas over the past 20 years has had a BIG shift in voting habits.

The last 20 years in Texas ^^^

Georgia ^^^

And fucking NORTH CAROLINA. Look at how close this margin is. This is absolutely batshit insane to me. They are now basically swing states.

[ID: Picture of what looks like tweet with the top cropped off, with a quote from Parliamentary Majority leader of the country Georgia, reading, "Draft law will be prepared and initiated in Parliament in next 2 weeks. Draft law will fully respect principles and norms stipulated by 2nd chapter of the Constitution of hashtag #Georgia," Parliamentary Majority leader Mamuka Mdinaradze said." Followed by a picture of a pale skinned Georgian man with short grey hair and glasses in the midst of some speaking event captioned, "Majority readies draft law of quote 'defend society from pseudo-liberal ideology" unquote. End ID]

Edit: THIS IS ABOUT GEORGIA THE COUNTRY I DID NOT KNOW YOU GUYS WERE THIS STUPID OH MY GOD. IT'S NOT THE STATE. SINCE WHEN DOES THE STATE OF GEORGIA HAVE A PARLIAMENT. SINCE WHEN DO YOU GUYS HAVE A GUY NAMED MAMUKA MDINARADZE. THINK HOLY SHIT.

When the anti "LGBT propaganda" law passed in Russia, all of you were going insane and cared. Give Georgia the same energy. If you can have sympathy for our oppressors on the basis of them being queer, you should keep the same energy for us, if not more.

If this law passes, every Georgian queer person I know is so severely fucked, myself included. If you make jokes about "being illegal in several countries" you better fucking care about the countries you're apparently illegal in, or going to be illegal in.

Make sure to spread this around. This is important.

There is also currently the foreign agent bill being protested here, which will affect everyone in the country, and will push these laws further. I have a post explaining it, AND a post with ways you can help. That is all I've been posting and reblogging lately, it should be easy to find.

yall have got to be more normal about Southern people and I'm not kidding. enough of the Sweet Home Alabama incest jokes, enough of the idea that all Southerners are bigots and rednecks, and enough of the idea that the South has bad food. shut up about "trailer trash" and our accents and our hobbies!

do yall know how fucking nauseating it is to hear people only bring up my state to make jokes about people in poverty and incestuous relationships? how much shame I feel that I wasn't born up north like the Good Queers and Good Leftists with all the Civilised Folk with actual houses instead of small cramped trailers that have paper thin walls that I know won't protect me in a bad enough storm?

do yall know how frustrating it is to be trans in a place that wants to kill you and whenever you bring it up to people they say "well just move out" instead of sympathizing with you or offering help?

do yall understand how alienating it is to see huge masterposts of queer and mental health resources but none of them are in your state because theyre all up north? and nobody seems to want to fix this glaring issue because "they're all hicks anyways"

Southern people deserve better. we deserve to be taken seriously and given a voice in the queer community and the mental health space and leftist talks in general.

Didgori Battle Memorial is located on top of the Didgori mountain, Georgia. It was designed in the 90s by sculptor Merab Berdzenishvili and architect Tamaz Gabunia to commemorate the battle of Didgori fought in 1121. The monument consists of a number of massive sculptures of swords embedded in the ground, which can be interpreted as cemetery crosses.

I haven't heard people talking about this much, but I feel like it's important for people to know. Especially since SB 63 essentially bans bail funds by not allowing organizations, charities, individuals, or groups to bail out more than three people per year and requiring them to register as bonding agencies.

This is a direct response to all the protests happening here in Atlanta. So far, spreading the word can help as well as donating to The Atlanta Solidarity Fund .

In the meantime, here's some phone numbers of politicians you can go bug.

Randy Robertson (Guy who's sponsoring the bill): +1-404-656-0045

Brian Kemp (Governor of Georgia): +1-404-656-1776

DID ANYONE ELSE CATCH THIS REFERENCE???

The devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin' for a soul to steal

He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind

And he was willin' to make a deal

When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot

And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump

And said, "boy, let me tell you what"

"I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too

And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you

Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy

But give the devil his due

I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul

'Cause I think I'm better than you"
