(Note: I’m writing this in good faith and not trying to come across confrontational)

Have u forgotten u can vote 3rd party? I know there will likely not be enough people voting independant party for a non red or blue president to be elected THIS voting cycle. But. If enough people vote independent maybe america will wake up and realize there are more than 2 shitty options. (It takes time to change, and change for the better)

Look the problem with the blue no matter who mindset is that these people know you are going to vote for them no matter what. Not because you necessarily like them but because at least they aren’t the other guy. Which gives dems absolutely no incentive to not be a piece of shit. Like do you get it? They will be awful and endorse genocides and all other terror because they know you will let them get away with it. Maybe biden isn’t as bad as a republican would have been but he is still pretty fucking bad. Personally, morally, I cannot in any way justify voting for him again.

voting for someone as damage control in an election does not mean you can't heckle the shit out of them once they are in office. You elect the officials you think you and groups you belong to have the better chance of pressuring into better policies, and who will do the least amount of damage in the meantime.

Democrats are relentless towards their elected officials-- at least the ones I know who are actually politically active are. They call, they protest, they campaign. Plus, as you're demonstrating, people on the left do not blindly vote (that's the other guys). It's totally unrealistic to say that elected Democratic officials just think they have an easy ride.

people can and should vote for whoever they want to in local elections, primaries, etc. But in the big one, the president one, the one in the fall, voting third party is like drawing up plans for a nice new extension on a house that is actively being set on fire. Voting for president is damage control. Voting is your hard-fucking-won civil right. Voting in smaller elections can also be damage control; when there is no-one to feel "good" about voting for, you vote for the less-worse one, because maybe that one is more receptive to the idea of climate change being real than the other one, and you can work with that.

Sometimes you get to vote for the option you align with the most. But sometimes voting is about picking the option with the cracks that you can dig your fingers into and pull open. Or at least the one who won't start taking a sledgehammer to civil rights and environmental protections (and, and) with all his buddies while you work to build support behind a candidate you can feel good about voting for in four years.

Biden has shown he can change his policies over time, with pressure. Democrats can be swayed in ways Republicans cannot. One major party can be pushed more left. The other one will drag us into a darkness that I don't even want to think about. The presidency is about so much more than just the individual sitting in the Oval Office.

Voting is strategic. It is strategic. It is not negative moral karma to vote strategically. It is one action amidst all the other actions you can take to fight for the future you want.

Dick is convinced that food always tastes better after a show.

His dad laughs and tells him it’s just because they’re acrobats and they can’t eat much prior to spending a few hours intricately twisting and flipping their bodies through the air over the dizzying roar of the crowds below. Hunger, he tells his son, has always been the best spice. But Dick thinks there’s more to it than that. There’s something about the buzz — the energy following a performance — that makes even the simplest of dishes special.

With so many different cultures and nationalities represented at Haly’s, Dick is used to eating all sorts of things, learns to tell who’s making dinner each night by the aroma of the various herbs and spices wafting out from the tent. There’s a Russian acrobat and a Taiwanese contortionist and a French wire walker and a clown from Cleveland, and the only common factor seems to be their insistence that the nine-year-old could use some more meat on his bones. He helps his mother stir cornmeal porridge and stuff cabbage leaves with ground meat and rice while his dad, grinning, juggles bell peppers and onions and cans of tomato paste in an arc above their heads.

It’s always late at night by the time they gather around the plastic folding tables with full plates, aching muscles, and weary smiles. Snippets from conversations in three or four different languages wash over Dick, and he doesn’t understand everything, but he doesn’t mind it either. The food and laughter warm him from the inside out, and he eats until his belly is full and his eyelids start to grow heavy. His mother pulls him into her lap and lets him curl up against her chest, and he’s lulled to sleep by the hum of the troupe members’ voices, perfectly safe and content.

The night that Dick’s parents fall to their deaths, there’s beef goulash simmering on the cookhouse stove and just the smell is enough to make him sick.

[transmascissues]

Do you support non binary transmascs and fight against exorsexism?

this question is so funny to me because my friend, my gender is not binary. i don't call myself nonbinary because the word just doesn't quite feel accurate to my specific experiences of gender, but if we're using it as an umbrella term, i'm definitely one of the people you're talking about.

this is one of those moments where i'm like...wouldn't it be nice if people didn't assume that calling yourself a man means you don't experience any sort of beyond-the-binary gender complexity whatsoever? wouldn't that be great?

like, yeah, i do in fact support the fight against my own oppression. thanks for asking i guess?

2,000?!?!?!?! You follow 2,000 blogs?😨 how many are actively posting daily? I personally only follow about 190 at the moment and only 25 of them at most are active often. I always get this really bad feeling if I'm not able to scroll through everything everyone's posted that I haven't seen on my dash, and it usually takes 10-20 minutes, but I cannot imagine what your dash must look like each day.

yeahhh, almost 2,000

I have absolutely no idea how many are actively posting, but I just know that my dashboard is almost never empty (except for like a few hours during the night when most people are either asleep or working I guess)

your dash sounds so incredibly nice and peaceful though, i’m glad it’s enjoyable for you

waiting for your next dnd session after answering some incredibly concerning messages from the dm

[foldingfittedsheets]

your comic just color of the sky'd me 😭😭 I kept scrolling and that shid didn't END. it was like I was falling down beside a 100ft building and each window had a dog in it.

This just gave me and my betrothed a very hearty morning laugh. I genuinely hope the experience wasn't too distressing but I have joked that I'm gonna get Tumblr famous for "Do you love the color of the comics". My only defense is that I tagged it long post and if people have the "shorten post" setting they don't have to suffer.

But if that brings you no solace you can at least rest assured that no one will ever have to scroll through my comics as many times as me.

from the unofficial to the official question bringer: good job but do you know what would make them better? if their character trait was appearing under mysterious circumstances. in the memory of wounded warrior? there. standing on top of the cliff in hermit valley staring at the two Edens? there. t-posing behind all the elders while you watch vault cutscenes? there. join my skid oc in absolute mysteriousness and confusion

ok so questions. yea right that's what this is for. anyways we know that lark works at mcdonalds and does customer service. what about the others what are their jobs or is beefy just kinda Elon musk but 10000% better

Heee hooo i summon thee question bringer to lay thine eyes on this message

And thats also hilarious, question bringer just appearing anywhere in the corner of your eye mysteriously without an explanation and then casually disappearing without an explanation too

BEEFY ELON MUSK VYEJGKWGDJS 💀💀💀
