Today while listening to the news I just. Lost my mind a little about a recurring frustration.
I'm constantly frustrated by America and Europe going No, We Can't Have Immigrants From These Poor Countries! As if they didn't cause the fucking problems in those countries in the first place.
"They're fleeing CRIME and POVERTY and SICKNESS and they'll BRING IT HERE" Bitch the crime and sickness are a result of the poverty and the POVERTY is a result of first world countries abusing the hell out of them, like what the FUCK do you think has led to the severity of crises in places like Venezuela and Palestine and the Congo if not the systematic political and economic abuses of the people and natural resources. The problems they are fleeing were created by YOU. You're not allowed to get mad at refugees when you CAUSED THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
"Oh, so many Haitian immigrants are coming here, why can't they stay in--" ASK FRANCE AND CITIBANK TO FUCKING PAY THEM BACK THE TRILLIONS* THEY DEMANDED FOR THE SLAVE REVOLUTION AND MAYBE THEY'D HAVE A CHANCE * Technically hundreds of billions when adjusted for inflation, interest, and what potential it would have reasonably had to grow in Haiti's economy, but it's hard to calculate. Also, when Haiti asks you to pay them back the 21 billion of the original debt adjusted for inflation, not even counting the interest, maybe don't fucking assassinate (allegedly) the lawfully-elected president who asked for that money!
Maybe when people come to the US from Guatemala, you can have fucking Chiquita pay for their housing!
In this case I'm looking at what the UK and Italy are doing with attempts to move undocumented migrants to Rwanda and Albania respectively and I want to SHAKE THEM.
The fucking United Kingdom does not get to complain about migration from war-torn or poverty stricken areas. You, of all countries, do not get to FUCKING COMPLAIN about people seeking refuge because something is wrong at home. Not after EVERYTHING.
The fact that the UK wasn't directly funding all Palestinian relief agencies out of pure shame for their role in causing this entire decades-long horror of a situation is maddening.

Why do you reblog your own fics so much?
Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.
Does this look right to you??
These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. Itโs the reblogs. Because thatโs how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isnโt twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website thatโs run by the reblog system.
Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? Itโs because they put in hours of work and donโt get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but likeโฆsome validation wonโt hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.
Anyway, Iโm still going to reblog my shitโฆ
Some poor suffering gobs!!
i have never, in my life, ever been moved like this by a show. i have never cried like this over a show. but thatโs because this really is more than a show. this was reality for the thousands, millions of queer folk who came before us. it reminds us: we should always remember to celebrate those that made it possible for us simply to be able to exist and live and love freely. to be.
i honestly couldnโt think of many better ways to pay homage to those queer lives, especially the ones lost, who fought bravely even in the face of death than telling their stories like this; exactly as they were. intricate, raw and real. giving another voice to all that love. the fight might not be over yet, but their contributions have left a lasting impact on this world. telling these stories isnโt just necessary, itโs crucial.
i canโt thank the writers, actors and absolutely everyone else involved in creating fellow travelers enough for bringing this vital, beautiful, poignant, devastating and endlessly meaningful, impactful, important story to life. thank you thank you thank you
sometimes when I'm bored, I go through the list of recent bad faith Wikipedia edits that have since been reverted. a lot of them are politically contentious/offensive topics that attract crazies and trolls in general, but sometimes there are completely innocent inoffensive articles that people attack for no reason. some guy yesterday vandalized the article on the chemical element francium
