#it is not then their fault for not voting for you

[redlancey]

The eye opening experience during my first year of university was crazy.

Not only is everyone there extremely politically aware—they are much further left than liberal. I go to a uni in Canada and everyone was talking about wanting to vote NDP (New Democratic Party) but had to strategic vote because they didn’t want the conservatives to win over the liberals.

It’s not just because the school provides “liberal indoctrination”

It’s because you are interacting with people who are invested in politics, have suffered because of poor political decisions, and are diverse where you will meet people from all over the WORLD, not just your country, and they will compare your country to theirs and how it’s so much better/worse.

It’s because for once in your life people are talking to YOU! People are talking to you and you get to make your own opinion about it. You get to make a joke about something your parents said and have them get concerned and reassure you and you begin to realize that maybe not everything wasn’t as it seems with them

You will come back to your dorm to your roommate balling his eyes out because his dad got deported, even though hes lived here for 30 years. You will meet people whose family members are trapped in their countries because of laws surrounding women’s rights and agency. You will talk to people who will educate you on a war or political crisis happening in another country and then remind you that your country is contributing to the distress.

And you’re parents aren’t there to fight them. Your cousin isn’t there to say “it’s all these immigrants faults” your dad isn’t there to say “well maybe they should’ve done XYZ”

You are meeting educated empathetic people and it’s amazing.

"College is a place of liberal indoctrination."

And what possible motive would liberals have to put their indoctrination behind one of the biggest paywalls to have ever existed?

College is often the first time that someone regularly interacts with a diverse crowd. College is often the first time that someone is encouraged to think for themselves instead of blindly trusting their parents.

They're not being indoctrinated to be liberal. They were previously indoctrinated to be conservative and are now being freed from that.

Hello Revel! How have your days been lately?

What do you think bots would think if they witnessed human infidelity?(like in some novel, movie or even human gossip 👀)

Still great Revel We love you! 🩷

Thank you all for reading my nonsense, y’all are awesome! Ngl, first thing I thought of was Everything Is Alright’s Starscream. That mech is so darn tired and having to watch his tiny mate like a hawk because their thirsty self collects husbands. Most of the poly groups, there was some form of agreement to share and then Star’s over here just stressed out and currently trying to beat back Shockwave with a stick thinking he’s interested. But once Star’s less salty about it, he’s going to play that card to win every argument.

Seekers

Starscream x Reader

• “At least I didn’t frag your mortal enemy. And Soundwave,” he growls, wings flared out and trembling and your eyes narrow. Because he’s never letting that go. Megatron wasn’t even really your fault, but Soundwave? You glance at where the communication officer’s sitting with your tiny daughter curled sleeping in the crook of his arm and he looks up at the sound of his name. Yeah, you absolutely chose him and you don’t regret it. Even if you still feel guilty.

• Watching your lips press into a thin line, before you slowly nod, for a klik he thought you were about to get angry and yell at him. “Touché,” you mutter and he’s not sure what that means, the word not translating right. “Fine. Humans have more than one name. Give her a Cybertronian middle name if it makes you happy, but I swear if you pick something like Skullcrusher or Starscreamette, I’ll smack you. Repeatedly.”

• “I know a Skullcrusher,” he mutters. “He’s a jerk.” Turning to watch the little one snuggle her face closer against Soundwave with a little noise, trusting the other mech with the innocence of a sparkling. Not knowing how cruel and hard the world can be and he wants it to stay that way. He drags you into his lap and rests his chin on your head. And you slowly relax into him, not as annoyed as you sound then. “I was thinking of Skyfall for her Cybertronian name?” Something that’s a bit of him, a bit of his trine. And that guilt twists through him, because he needs to reach out to Thundercracker and Skywarp. Apologize even if it’s going to kill him, but he wants them to know his daughter, to be a part of her life. And he misses them.

• “Sky,” you mumble, watching your daughter’s little wing nubs flick. Looking for anything human in her features. Sometimes you think you see the shape of your eyes in her optics, that little mouth is yours, right? The rest of her alien. More Star than you. You’d thought that would bother you, and it does, but not in the way you’d imagined. It’s an odd, lonely feeling, like you’re on the outside looking in when you see one of them with her. Megatron has her longer than you did, is she really still yours, then?

• “I want to nudge Nova Storm or one of his brothers into taking a human mate. She needs other Seekers,” he murmurs and you nod. Before slowly leaning back and frowning up at him to make his wings droop. And Soundwave makes a low hum of noise, paying attention to the conversation now. Because they both know that look on your face.

• “Why them, not your brothers?” You ask, and his wings flick. Oh, no. Nope. Absolutely not. “You are not pulling some arranged marriage crap with our newborn baby.” Because you don’t care if your kid falls in love with another Seeker or not as long as she’s happy. “She can have seeker playmates, they can learn to fly together. I’d love that,” you growl, chest hurting imagining your kid trying to fly. Will she just know or have to be taught? “But you’re not going to push someone at her. She’s going to decide.” And his jaw clenches letting you know that’s exactly what he was thinking. And it’s not happening.

There’s still time to vote on the kid’s human name!

Thanks to @drabbletron for suggesting the kid’s Cybertronian name. I figure most of the hybrid kids will have two names and will lean toward one or the other as they get older. And they know they’re in trouble when both names get used by a parent

[dracvlavra]

in 2-party systems, the more centre leaning party is able to coast on the electorate’s perception of them as better than the right wing candidate, and it allows them to do fuck all to earn people’s votes bc they’re banking on people voting anyways. they don’t do anything to actually campaign, they toe the line, pander just enough to appease liberals and it works every time

[gingerswagfreckles]

It's insanely sad to read post after post of gentiles talking about how at least we all have each other and all we can do now is draw strength from our queer and leftist communities bc Jews literally cannot do this. Like you all completely and so utterly turned your backs on Jews this year and we have no one. Except other Jews. Who make up 2% of the American population. It's so great for you all that you can hold hands and sing Kumbaya but you made supporting Hamas and retweeting twitter funny men with literal terrorist hate symbols in their usernames normal. So no some of us cannot draw strength from the queer and leftist communities. Some of us just have to sit here and take it as you all reassure each other that none of this is your fault even though it so obviously is.

[dandyleyen]

We're always the ones who have to take responsibility when everything else is taken from us, aren't we Anya ?

[pettytiredandjewish]

To the pro Palestine and anti Zionist crowds:

Are y’all proud for freeing Gaza by not voting (or by voting for the orange fucker?)

[27dragons]

tumblr keeps forcing me to look at this sponsored post and it's VERY local (it's for a nearby school board election but not actually MY school board election so it's not only very local but incorrectly local) and the guy's picture is SO FUCKING CREEPY i have to make everyone look at it:

like i'm sure in real life he's probably a nice guy but his "i'm trying to look friendly and professional" smile makes him definitely look like someone who should not be permitted to have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with children

HANNAH’S LONG JOHN SILVER KNOCK-OUT POLL 💥🥊

ROUND 2/7

soviet animated 1988 Silver has received the black spot and has been knocked out. Sorry Ive been waiting to make a black spot joke. Black Sails Silver narrowly avoided being knocked out by people who voted for him by mistake lol SO

reminder that this is an 💥ELIMINATION💥 poll.

DO NOT vote for your fav, you are voting for who you want OUT. So that only your fav remains in the end. WHICH LONG JOHN SILVER IS LEAST ATTRACTIVE TO YOU?

sorry to everyone who misread round 1 and voted incorrectly. I’ve retitled the poll so it’s a little clearer this time. I realize my previous titling of it was confusing. But also you guys just gotta read instructions lol

and thanks to the people who pointed out that my alt text descriptions somehow vanished last time. They should actually be there now. Hopefully

[ro-bee]

It's so funny my father talking about depression like if it should scare me because "is a bad sickness that can also take young people " as if he's not talking with the text book definition of depression

[soul-dwelling]

I had said before, "Fuck the losers who didn't support Biden and Harris," even when it was a Democrat who refused to support them.

I can add, "Anyone who doesn't support marginalized people can fuck off."

Example: fuck Ruben Gallego and his anti-trans rightwing horse shit. We all must vote for Democrats over any Republican, and we also can primary these fuckers (instead of, you know, bashing old people for being old).

But we wouldn't have had to worry about Gallego showing off his anti-trans shit if we had kept Biden in the White House or voted Harris into the White House. And now we have Gallego buddying up with anti-trans Republican fuckers. If you didn't get out the vote for Biden and Harris, this is your fault.

Republicans can fuck off into oblivion.

One of my least favourite politics-related sentiments is that people in countries with shitty elected leaders deserve those leaders because they voted for them

[creatrixanimi]

bruh seeing posts like "this is time to organize" like man sorry to tell you but online leftists arent gonna do shit they couldnt even vote and now everything is gonna be so much worse like. Everyone who didnt vote is far too self-absorbed or lazy to do any activism that isnt reblogging inflammatory post

[hauntingblue]

Rewatching act 2.... yeah ISHA WATCH OUT FOR THE CYCLE ISHA!!!!! NOOOOO

[thealogie]

Well I didn’t like conclave as much as everyone said I would but I must admit part of it might have been that I was in a foul mood as I went to the movie straight from a party where I had to argue with a man who defended voting against abolishing prison slavery in California (I dressed him down to a degree where he turned around and left the party)

[cyarskj1899]

they did this. remember them.

[dragonanon]

I will say right now that I am a petty ass bitch. And I have PURPOSELY chosen NOT to cut off any friends or family that voted for Trump, for the SOLE reason that I’m playing the long con here. When shit goes sideways, I want to be the one who looks them all in the eye and say “Oh, you’re suffering now? Good! I fucking TOLD you this would happen. Now suffer. Asshole.”

I know for a FACT that once things start getting bad, those people are going to be the FIRST ones to bitch and moan about it. And I want front row seats to it so I can CONTINUOUSLY throw it in their faces that they were fucking wrong, and the current situation is ENTIRELY on them.

I’m going to be the smuggest, most insufferable, little shit about it. I will be sitting there with my iced mocha, listening to all their bitching, with the biggest grin on my face. And when they ask me why tf I’m so happy, I’m going to respond “Yeah it sucks, doesn’t it? I’m happy because now that you see it, I get to remind you that you CHOSE this. This entire nightmare is ENTIRELY your fault, and I am going to remind you of this fact each and every time this topic comes up, until the day I die. Now either choose something else to talk about, or STFU. Because I have NO sympathy for you. 😎💅”
