god bless this man honestly

Praise God

In case you don’t read it: basically it’s a lot of money given annually to planned parenthood that cannot be touched to keep the facilities open. It clearly states that this money is for things like access to contraceptives and cancer screenings and other care that planned parenthood offers that’s not specifically abortions.

So republicans won’t even be able to vote for defunding planned parenthood. Essentially.

This happened awhile ago and thank god 🙏🏻 you will never be forgotten Obama

George Takei getting me thru this election

reminder that george takei’s family survived an honest-to-god internment camp set up by the us government because of their race. if he says we can survive whatever a trump presidency throws at us, i believe him.

He’s also a gay man who made it through the AIDS crisis under Reagan. The man knows what he’s talking about.

here’s my other gentle rant of the night

if you didn’t vote

because you couldn’t, because you were too young, because you’ve got some charge on your record and they wouldn’t let you, because you managed to miss the deadline, because you have limited mobility or transportation and couldn’t make it somewhere, because you live with people who violated your rights by stopping you, because your anxiety got the better of you and you couldn’t figure out how to do it or couldn’t even look at the form, because you just plain didn’t have the spoons to, because voter suppression or ID laws caused you to get turned away

whatever the reason

(unless that reason is that you willfully chose not to because you either believed it didn’t matter or you thought it would be the best mode of protest)

if things go to shit, it’s not your fault, okay? Please don’t blame yourselves.

I needed this, thank you. I couldn’t vote Absentee this year because of requirements I couldn’t fulfill because I spend most of my time in school in another state.

You’re welcome. You have all my hugs and sympathy. College an residency rules associated with it are especially nasty culprits at making voting hard for young people. I also know a few people whose parents “did them the favor” of filling in their absentee ballots for them.

We moved states dangerously close to the cutoffs. I registered in time; he didn’t. We’re not sure if his vote that he filled in absentee for our old state will count.

Things happen. No one’s perfect.

We can’t stand up and move forward if our feet are busy kicking ourselves.

Postive words, from postive YouTubers

Things you should consider doing before Trump becomes president

-Get any doctor’s appointment taken care of if you have Obamacare -Take advantage of any student loan forgiveness if you can -Get an IUD if you need birth control -Legally change your name if you’re trans -Get a passport -Save up your money

We have little under two months until the presidency changes over. Take advantage of your rights while you have them. Please feel free to add onto this post, these are the only things I can think of right now.

To all of my fellow autistic people in America:

Please, stay strong and safe.

too many people showed disrespect to President Obama so why should we start 'giving respect even if they aren't who we wanted' to an actual cheeto colored limp dick

Reminder that popular vote does not decide the president. Electoral vote does. Donald Trump is not president yet.

The Electors meet on December 19th. Their votes are counted January 6th. They have voted against the will of the people before and it’s highly possible they could do again. The fat lady hasn’t sung yet. Hilary still has a snowball chance.

We will not truly know until January 6th. The only thing we can do now is hope for a miracle, but there is that hope. (Especially given that there’s also a chance that Trump will be in prison by that time and would be disqualified regardless.)

positive things…

i think a more interesting question than “when did you ‘join’ the internet” is “what was the first username you ever used”

my very first ever username (that i remember) was HunterKiller75 cause i thought starcraft was the coolest shit in elementary school & hydralisks were my fav unit, and 75 was my fav number
