Me having been up since 2am for a family thing, driven 5 hours to said thing, spent time w/ family, now in car driving back home: You know the perfect thing to do right now would be to work on my ongoing fic that I never actually pay attention to.
My brain: Y’know that’s really funny bc I just think that...
psych majors with five act tragedy levels of intellectual hubris are so funny. Hi, I'm twenty one years old, and I've been taking a couple classes a semester for the past couple years: now that we've established I have seen the divine truth of all things, here's the worst take you've ever heard.
Hey. Look at me. Please leave yourself a note somewhere you'll see it later that says "it is going to take years if not decades to get the United States government to the level of functionality it had in November of 2024." If we elect a democrat in 2028, we are not going to be up and running by 2032.
Please make sure you have a reminder in your phone reminding you to not look at 2028/32/36 Democratic candidates and say "why are they not promising/delivering Cool Shit?" because you are going to understand that to get Cool Shit we must have competent people running a decently funded government, and we are not going to have that.
We are not getting UBI. We are not getting single payer healthcare. We are not getting free college or free preschool. We are not redistributing wealth on a large scale. We are not getting free internet. We are not getting ranked choice voting.
If we are lucky, we are going to get an IRS that can collect taxes, qualified schoolteachers, research grants, Social Security, and a government that thinks maybe it should be a priority for people around the worlds to not have AIDS, malaria or TB.
Normal people on Twitter are having an absolutely normal one over muppet babies letting gonzo wear a dress
(I felt this pic was an appropriate representation of me and the vibe I want my blog to have)
Anyway if nothing else matters then I hope people remember that Pope Francis used his last public address to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and call Israel a terrorist state:
"I continue to receive very serious and painful news from Gaza. Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism."
Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.
