in today’s job climate, you actually have to reach out to a potential employer so they remember to send you your rejection letter.

Just saying. In the same way that we look back at the death of nazis now and can easily and objectively say that that was a morally good thing to happen… in 50, 75, 100 years, the deaths of our current right wing fascists will be viewed that way.
Also gonna say: I see a lot of people who clearly feel as though their feelings of happiness or relief make them a bad person. Who feel as though celebrating any death makes them bad, because ‘violence begets violence’ or something vague about how violence is always bad.
And I need you all to know that 1) fascism has never been defeated without the use of violence and 2) 'violence begets violence’ is always, for some reason, directed towards the people who the first violence was against. It’s never against the people who inflicted the violence to begin with. So yeah, they begat violence in response to their violence. Boo hoo.
'This will trigger backlash’ besties they are already killing you??
You fucking get it babey!!

Teen Vogue has produced some of the strongest and most important political journalism of the past few years.
This is a monstrous development.
Legacy/corporate media is killing youth power.
There are also no black or trans staffers as they were also let go in the layoff.

I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.

Okay, here’s my idea:
The British should put a time limit on the Monarchy.
Not like declaring a republic tomorrow, but deciding on a date in the future that ends the British Monarchy.
And there’s a perfect date for it coming up!
October 14th, 2066.
A thousand years since the Battle of Hastings. A thousand years of this one specific bloodline ruling England.
Call time on the Monarchy after exactly one thousand years. Nice, and neat.
Even better: Charles isn’t living 44 years. He’ll be gone in about twenty. Now William? He’s what, 40? Yeah, he can live another 44 years. His great grandmother was over a hundred, his granny was 96, William can make it to 84 barring accident or assassination.
So on October 14th 2066, William the Last steps down a thousand years after William the First won the crown.
Nice, neat, and fair. William gets the crown he’s been waiting forty years for already, but ten-year-old George grows up without expectation of it.
Have a nice big abdication ceremony, even.
Plus, what an absolute baller move to announce your regnal name as William the Last.
the Final Bill

serial-unaliver-deactivated2024:
it’s kind of crazy climate change has occurred at such a remarkable pace that I and everyone else around my age can remember a completely different climate in our childhoods. I truly watched winter gradually disappear in my life.
“You’re too young to remember this, but there used to be so many insects outside that you would have to clean them off the windshield after a long car ride” is the kind of sentence that would have been in a cheesy scifi short story earlier in my life, perhaps submitted to a literary magazine and accepted to show support for its environmentalist message - now it’s something I’ve said in earnest.

but here’s the article.
- Your Idol makes Saja Boys the highest charting male group in the US
- Golden makes HUNTR/X the highest charting female group in the US.
- these people are not real but here they are
they are REAL though, it was real artists and musicians performing, writing and creating this.
In a world where “AI” tracks have been in the charts, we gotta stop throwing around these people are not real because some songs are literally not real^ This. While the characters aren’t real, but their songs were written and performed by real people! Ejae (Rumi and songwriting), Audrey Nuna (Mira), Rei Ami (Zoey), Andrew Choi (Jinu), and all the other singing-voice actors and songwriters did amazing work
people be forgetting that Jem and the Holograms went platinum
Why are people being weird about virtual bands? They’ve been around for decades and aren’t some niche thing.

what they don’t tell you about learning to draw is that at a certain point of obsession you start to see everything as a potential reference. i frequently have to force myself to stop breaking the general public and my surroundings down into illustrative components during conversations and everyday tasks.
i’m like the lion from madagascar but instead of raw steaks i see people as lines of action and fabric folds and lighting directions

Anonymous asked: I'm only saying this for your sake, but objectively, it's not a smart idea to bring politics into normal hobbies. You might lose supporters of your blog just because of your political stance, and that would be terrible since you're so amazing!! It's only a suggestion, but I really reccomend not bringing politics into anything.
With SNAP and WIC programs being paused until further notice, I wanted to share that TooGoodToGo is a great way to get bread, bakery items and even prepared foods for cheap. It was created to reduce food waste. As it’s grown, restaurants and stores continue to be added.

Knowing that “punk” was basically a synonym for “faggot” has me fucked up. Imagine the alternate timeline where they switched places and we have genres like “faggot rock” and “cyberfaggot”.
and with your help, we can make this dream a reality <3
