Leftists on Tumblr: See the electoral system and party politics is ALL BULLSHIT.
Therefore when I vote for Mickey Mouse and Trump gets elected, it's not my fault. Just like it's not the fault of all the other people who didn't do anything to stop it.
It's like people saying capitalism is bullshit and therefore when someone is standing before them saying "hey I'm starving can you give me a dollar" they lecture them about how money is all an illusion and they shouldn't be a slave to capitalism.
The fact that the system is corrupt and bullshit doesn't mean you can in good faith walk away from it and maintain your personal ideological purity.
Your responsibility as a human is to look at the choices in front of you and determine which option you have can do the most good.
Sure i GUESS not giving someone money for food isn't responsible for them going hungry because you didn't create the situation yourself. But what I WON'T do is fucking applaud you for sticking to your anti-capitalist ideals by letting someone starve. If you have the ability to make things a LITTLE BIT BETTER without significant harm to yourself in my morality you ARE OBLIGATED TO DO THAT.
"I don't believe in voting." Okay, well, fine, but I'M GOING TO JUDGE YOU FOR THAT. You don't get to dodge the opportunity to help people and then ask people to applaud you for your Complicated Moral Stance.
And yes, keeping gay marriage legal is helping people. Keeping right wing ideologues off the Supreme Court is helping people. Keeping trans healthcare legal is helping people. Keeping environmental protections in place is helping people. Keeping civil rights legislation in place is helping people. Keeping disability protections in place is helping people. Keeping regulations about food safety in place is helping people. Keeping banking regulations in place is helping people. Etc Etc Etc.
You deciding none of that matters because voting for democrats gives you the ick is the definition of selfish and I'm not throwing you a fucking parade for it.

hello hello!!!! I just have to say, your writing is so lovely and I’ve really enjoyed going through what you’ve written for everyone <333 !!!
how about some hcs about how Harvey would handle a pretty bold farmer? not a downright flirty farmer who winks at him and teases him every second of every day with suggestive remarks or anything— rather they don’t do anything to hide how fond they are of Harvey! Such as, very earnestly telling him how charming they find him, how they deeply admire his kind heart, even offhandedly mentioning how he has really nice eyes, etc.! basically, just a really, really blunt farmer, lol.,
and y’know. . . maybe farmer transforms into a more traditionally flirty person after getting together/marriage. . . so, does poor Harvey wind up short-circuiting a bit? if that’s not too bothersome!
thank you :)!!!!
harvey with a bold!farmer || headcanons
what happens when the shyest doctor around meets a bold farmer? will he stay calm or will he unravel?
warnings: mention of a suggestive comment but not described, so basically nothing :)
requested by: anon! hi, thank you so much for the request! you are so incredibly sweet, thanks for all the compliments! i hope that i wrote something good for you, and i heavily encourage you to request more! you're such a sweetheart :) hope you enjoy! <3
• Harvey is known as being the calm and collected doctor around town. He's put together, he's smart, and he knows how to have relatively simple conversations with people. He's never thought of himself as anything super notable, and he's not used to compliments that aren't profession related. But when a certain farmer came to town with an incredibly bold attitude ... Harvey wouldn't have a clue of what to do.
• It started pretty small, you two would share small greetings if you pass by each other on his daily route. You would always say something like “you look nice today” or “that coat looks pretty good on you.” Of course, he'd stutter a little bit with a small blush, but he didn't think too much of it. It lingered on his mind, but he doubted that it was anything too serious. Just simple greetings.
• “Oh- good morning farmer! Make sure to stop by the clinic if you need anything, I know you're always on the run- oh? My ... my coat? Uhm- this old thing? Thanks ... hope you have a good rest of your day,” he'd say with a nervous smile before walking away. Just small things daily, but it was enough to put a smile on his face.
• He noticed that you stopped by the clinic more and more to chat with him. Varying hours of the day, but at least once everyday. Your friendship steadily inclined, and your bold comments were more and more evident. As you learned more about him, the more that would come out. You'd comment on how nice he is when he offered to do you a favor, or how charming he was in conversation. This would always catch him off guard, no matter how many times it happened. Like clockwork, his face would grow red and you could see the small twitches of his lips due to his mustache.
• “Oh- uhm- thank you? I really appreciate it, I- ... pardon my reaction, I just wasn't expecting it ... no one's ever commented on, much less compliment, that before ... am I really charming? ... why, thank you, farmer. I could say the same about you ... you're awfully kind by saying all these nice things about me. You're uh ... definitely a highlight of my day. Don't stop coming by ... but that's not an excuse to get hurt!”
• As you two gradually start progressing in your relationship, you two end up dating. The bluntness seems to turn into traditional flirting overtime. This results in Harvey's reactions being turned up to a ten. Making even one suggestive comment turns Harvey into a stuttering tomato. He loves it, though! He just doesn't know how to react to it.
• “Wh-What? You ... you think I'm ...? ... wh-what makes you say that? ... I-I didn't expect that out of you! M-Maybe I shouldn't underestimate you ... th-thank you? For thinking that ... about me? B-But uh- ... I think that about you too, I promise! I'm just all ... flustered ... y'know! I- ... I love you, and you really know how to make me basically braindead ... I really do love you.”
• Harvey is a mess in general. He's never really been romantically involved with anyone, so this was incredibly new to him. He loved the feeling of being flustered though, he found it new and sweet. Harvey was just in love with you in general, and he couldn't get over the fact that you made him feel so good about himself. Everyone needs a little ego boost once in a while.
