Hey do y'all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.

It has been widely recognized by American intelligence agencies that Russians are disseminating false information and have been urging citizens not to vote, the same as they did in 2016.

Do not fall for it!!! Your voice matters!!! Your vote counts!!!

In fact, a Russian was just charged with interfering in the 2018 election for funding online propaganda efforts to manipulate voters.

Don’t trust anything that tells you not to vote, or to vote in a direction that won’t change anything. Remember that the people in power are actively trying to stop you from voting, because your vote matters.

“the white gays got all hyped up for love simon but i see no one talking about the kenyan lesbian movie!!!!” you cracked the code. you did it. the white gays are at it again, not talking about that one foreign indie movie that you can only see for a limited time at independent film festivals. this, as compared to how much they talked about that one multi-million dollar hollywood movie that was widely available in theaters, on itunes, and on dvd. disregarding the fact that people have absolutely been talking about the indie movie and publicly hoping they get to see it and that those posts have an astonishing number of notes for a fucking foreign indie film. has anyone ever told you how smart and insightful you are.

would be really cool if we ever at any point could lay the blame for the lack of diversity in hollywood on multimillionaire production execs instead of at the feet of gay people and/or people of colour who are at the mercy of those execs and have about as much power to influence hollywood to make what they want as your average house fly

wild idea but maybe holding the film industry responsible for how little it cares about the life experiences of anyone who’s not a straight white man instead of pretending they’re just dutifully handing out what the consumers are asking for and it’s just that consumers like, hate women or whatever, might be a refreshing change for once

Y’all really out there commenting on posts about female abusers that if a man does this he’d be fucking crucified like who got crucified john depp jared leto? Still thriving. Bowie ? Is remembered as a gay icon till this day even tho he’s not even gay. Trump becomes the fucking president despite all that gross racist misogynistic comments still like no we never did crucify anyone because this society is so deep on protecting abusers. Journalism destroys victims’ lives and career and then write their top 10 most attractive men post

What did i just fucking say

The Silent Treatment

Silence is identity erosion. It’s covert punishment, intended to manipulate a change in behaviour without actually appearing to be overtly manipulative. When given the silent treatment, people often self-destruct and think of everything they might have done wrong. As a result, they start to whittle down their entire personalities in order to avoid repeating any of those potential wrongdoings. If you find yourself trying to “outlast” someone’s silence so you don’t appear needy or delusional, this is not someone worth your time or energy. Good people cultivate open communication and discussion. They don’t make you feel that you should deconstruct your whole identity in order to meet their unspoken demands.

not voting isn’t refusing to play the game. You’re in this country, you’re subject to the game whether you like it or not. The only way not to play is to leave, and the vast majority of us don’t have that option.

Not voting is playing the game but saying ‘pass’ every time your turn comes up and then wondering why you lost.

Making young people not vote is actually a tactic used in politics to keep the satus quo. The young vote is always the one for change, so dissuading them from voting at all is actually a political tactic used by the people in charge to keep themselves there. Voting is rebellion.

yall hear about fucking hb2796

I’m going to keep fucking reblogging this

“ No Federal civil rights law shall be interpreted to treat gender identity or transgender status as a protected class, unless such law expressly designates “gender identity” or “transgender status” as a protected class. “

@yall I see ignoring this please dont. I get it its upseting, but this is IMPORTANT information that could SAVE our lives and our rights.

Also this boils down to stripping rights away from intersex and trans ppl from what I understand, meaning that we would no longer be protected under federal law. This is scary. Call your reps and get this shut down as soon as you can. We can beat this together. We need each other right now. Share this, spread this information.

how you can help:

call your local senator and representatives! websites like 5calls tell you your national representatives based on your location and if you use their mobile site, you can call those representatives through their site. they don’t yet have hb2796 on their site, but you can use their system regardless!

here is an example of something you can say: “My name is (your name) and I am a constituent in (your town/city/district).  I strongly oppose house bill 2796, which aims to remove gender identity protections from civil rights legislation by forcibly clarifying “gender” or “sex” to indicate only a person’s assigned gender at birth. Transgender people require civil rights protections as a vulnerable part of our population, and it is extremely important to me that they receive those protections. Thank you for your time and attention.”

IF YOU LEAVE A VOICEMAIL: leave your street address to ensure your call is tallied!

when you call, they will not argue with you, and basically just tally how many people contact them on a certain issue. also, if you want to support other issues on the 5calls site, don’t be afraid to make multiple separate calls! call volume matters and if you call more separate times it will be better.

Dammit I hate to use this blog for this but- from one trans guy to yall- this is important!

It looks like this bill isn’t getting fast tracked and is actually going through the entire legislative process so keep at it!

This is important. Calling all witches! contact your representatives and then get out those spell ingredients!

Today is August 25th, 2018.

HB 2796 is still in this stage:

It has not passed the House. Keep it up, folks. Eliminate this monstrosity.
