It occurs to me that there are people who weren’t on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:
It’s been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.
How come the media could have endless coverage about every time Biden made a gaffe or slurred his speech but there's not the same furor and energy around covering the fact that Donald Trump literally openly admitted that he wants to abolish voting?! (X) (X)
Vote Blue all the way down the ballot to save democracy. This is so much bigger than any type of partisanship or party alignment or petty politics. Dictatorships hurt EVERYONE. Everyone's future and freedom and safety is at stake. Vote to save your freedoms. Vote to save your life.
Vote now because if the GOP gets their way you won't get another chance. Abstaining or voting for a third party makes you complicit.
my old post stopped being rbed, so im remaking it.
hi, im mercy, im 19 and disabled. i have been job searching for 2 years now with no success, and only get £265 month (half of which goes to my dad, who is also disabled, but he often takes 75% of it for drugs and alcohol). i only get to eat one meal a day and my living situation will continue to worsen the longer i stay, as my dad is extremely emotionally abusive and neglectful.
we need money for food, gas and electric, rent, etc (and basic neccesities). were starving most of the time, and rarely ever have food in the house due to things getting more and more expensive.
my current goal is to move out and either find roommates OR potentially find a caravan park to live in or something, as i doubt ill be able to gain the money to rent a place. i dont rlly have a goal, so im setting it at £1000 for now and will increase if i hit that. i unfortunately cant make a gofundme as my dad frequently looks on there and id have to share my legal name.
my p@yp@l is here, my k@fi is here, and my c@sh@pp is here. anything helps. please donate if youre able and willing, and rb if you cant. things are getting worse day-by-day.

We are well beyond canary in the coalmine warning levels with the way trans people and particularly trans women are treated on this site.
Maybe you've heard the metaphor of allowing wolves and sheep to share the same space, welcoming everyone. You end up with just wolves because allowing them in that space makes it unsafe for any sheep. Or the story about how a nazi goes into a dive bar and is refused service. The bartender then explains to someone else at the bar that if you serve them once they tell their friends and before you know it you're the nazi bar they all go to and normal customers don't feel safe.
Terfs and other bigots are seeing these targeted harassment campaigns succeed against trans women and rejoicing. They see Tumblr ban them and officially stand by those decisions as endorsement for their harassment. It's a sign to bigots across the internet that Tumblr is a good place for them.
And what's more is that a lot of us probably don't realize just how much trans women contribute to Tumblr. The women banned recently were sources of site-wide memes and posts I wasn't even aware originated from them.any years old memes and references can be traced back to trans women on this site.
How many of these folks have to be removed before this is no longer a site you want to be a part of it? Sure you cultivate your own experience, but you can't follow or interact with people who aren't here. And if I wanted to interact with the nazis and terfs I'd go to reddit.
I encourage everyone to reblog this. Trans women shouldn't have to be the only ones speaking out against the bigotry they're experiencing. They shouldn't be the only ones risking their blogs being nuked by staff. We have to stand with them.
oh snap
Happy New Year for those who consider today's New Year's.

Hey leftists who voted third party or refused to vote. Are you proud? You gave trump the presidency. You decided that the lives of women, lgbtq people, immigrants, and people of color were worth less than you virtue signaling. Did you do it? Did you fix the world by getting trump in power?
Congratulations the blood is on your hands
