Gonna need yall to stop putting Biden is Just As Bad propaganda on my dash. Had to unfollow someone because I don’t want to a start a fight with them over it, but I’m about to bite the next person who puts that shit in front of me.

If you don’t like Biden, vote in your god damn local and mid term elections for third party or further left candidates so that we get better democratic candidates for future elections. But this one is already fucking decided, and I’m NOT ending up under a Trump led dictatorship because yall value protecting your personal sense of moral purity over the collective good. Whether it offends your personal morals to vote for Biden is IRRELEVANT in the face of the alternative.

This isn’t a lesser of two evils situation. One guy sucks. The other guy is LITERALLY PLANNING TO OVERTHROW OUR DEMOCRACY AND INSTALL HIMSELF AS A PUTIN STYLE DICTATOR.

REBLOGGING THIS BECAUSE IT FUCKING HAPPENED AGAIN.

You give me a single goddamn scenario where not voting does less harm then voting for Biden.

You give me a SINGLE goddamn scenario where Trump being elected does LESS harm than Biden.

You give me even the BAREST WHISPER of an ACTUAL, ACTIONABLE FUCKING ALTERNATIVE to just VOTING FOR HARM REDUCTION.

Jesus Christ. Even if you think Biden and Trump are 100% the same, which is a fucking asinine and ignorant goddamn position to take but sure, in that case voting, at absolute worst, makes no difference!

The ONLY reason to deliberately encourage people to NOT VOTE AT ALL is to SUPPORT TRUMP.

You are blindly spreading Actual Goddamn Propaganda for a man who is frothing at the mouth to become a christofascist dictator!!

CUT IT THE FUCK OUT.

Sometimes you gotta stop worrying about being the smartest and funniest person in the room and just enjoy being in a room with smart and funny people

I really implore y'all to stop letting the need to prove yourself get in the way of just enjoying life and the people you share it with. I'm using the word "implore" so y'all know I'm serious about it, btw

“parents’ rights” isn’t just a dogwhistle for homophobia, transphobia, racism etc. it’s evil in its own right, even when it means the literal meaning of the words.

honestly advertising is so fukcing wasteful not even just in the convincing you to buy shit you never actually wanted but like

how much electricity is wasted displaying ads that could've gone to keeping houses warm. How much paper is produced just to be turned into pamphlets and ads that will just be thrown away. how much internet bandwith is wasted just on the amount of ads that are on the internet nowadays. How many hours worth of labor went into producing ads that are going directly into my adblocker or my waste bin that could've been time spent doing literally ANYTHING useful?

Happy International Museums Day to the following people:

  • The guy who called me the Whore of Babylon for teaching kids about Ancient Egypt as I stood there and nodded.
  • The woman who was deeply incensed that staff wouldn't open the cases so she could touch the organic objects.
  • The one guy who made me translate hieroglyphs on a stele for him, then was mad because it didn't say what he wanted it to say, and reported me for 'lying' to the public.
  • The parents who objected to the taxidermied animals having taxidermied genitalia because it was unseemly.
  • Those kids on a school trip who got on the floor in front of a mummy and started chanting 'we worship Ra' as their teacher desperately tried to get them to leave.
  • That one guy who...uh...really liked geodes. No, they were not a special interest. He really, really liked geodes.

Happy International Museums day to these fine folks:

  • That guy who manhandled a 500 year old tapestry like it was an IKEA shower curtain
  • The woman who said “it’s a codpiece, you fool!” at her companion as they looked at another tapestry, on which a central figure is wearing an especially prominent codpiece
  • The people who’ve asked me if our founder made everything in the collection. yes, all the painting and sculpture and stone masonry and weaving and lacemaking. all made by one person. Sure.
  • the drunk guy who asked me if the Virgin Mary was the Mona Lisa’s sister
  • but mostly, happiest of happy international museums day to the visitors (of all ages!) who walk into certain galleries and exclaim “WOW!!!!!” in absolute wonder. Not to be corny, but that makes my job worth doing.

Happy International Museums day to -

  • the woman who opened the second of two drawers of 2000 year old preserved sandals and exclaimed “great, more flip flops”
  • The lady who’s dead husband broke his tooth on our organ
  • My mother, who has to physically restrain herself to stop from touching everything
  • The kid who opened the door and yelled at his friends “come on guys! Lets go to the museum! I haven’t been here before” then shut the door sadly and walked away when they said “the museum? No.”
  • The woman who’s toddler was crying and she picked them up and went “WOAH IS ME, ITS SO HARD BEING A BABY”
  • All the people that come in trying to donate their old junk
  • The poor volunteers I make fill out spreadsheets

Thoroughly enjoying going through the notes on this post and finding other gems like these! I relayed each of mine with joy in my heart because honestly they make the best tales to tell other people.

And for those who keep saying “we need to pay museum staff more”? We do! Museums are criminally underfunded by the government, so it would be a great help if people bothered their local governments about funding museums properly instead of leaving them to rot and hoping that works out.

This is the second time in my voting history that I’ve participated in flipping a red seat in Alabama for Democrats (the previous time being my beloved Doug Jones) so it’s always funny to see people turn around and say voting doesn’t matter when I’ve seen it twice in the past ten years flip seats in what is supposed to be safe Republican country. Republicans are digging their own grave with their radicalization and it is making them lose (and with your help we can make them lose harder). Vote.

Vote. If yours didn't matter, they wouldn't be trying so hard to make sure you couldn't do it.

Democrats outnumber Republicans in the US.

Democrats outnumber Republicans in several "red" states - the Rs just work very hard to keep them from voting.

In "red" states, every Democratic vote matters, even if they don't win; it proves support, and it makes the Rs nervous about pushing their agenda. (And in states where there is also voting on laws, the public can block some of their agenda even without voting in a Democratic governor or majority in their legislature.)

In "blue" states, Democratic votes help remind everyone that we outnumber them, and help push the Overton window to the left.

If voting didn't matter, nobody would be wasting money trying to convince you not to.

Traditional ant names

Traditional ant names are based on one ant virtue as the first name and one ant “intimidating quality” as the last name.

For example:

  • Temperance the Absconder
  • Proportionality the Relentless
  • Synchronicity the Amputator
  • Alacrity the Calculating
  • Efficiency the Eternal Witness

One of my FAVOURITE ship dynamics to write or read in fics is when two characters are basically already a couple but they just haven’t realised it yet. They call each other up at like 3am, they cuddle, they sleep in the same bed, they fall asleep in each other’s arms, they hold hands, they practically live together, they talk about having a ~ special connection ~, they just haven’t actually kissed or done the do or talked about their feelings yet so they’re still both like “but I just don’t know if they like me in that way!!”

Less slow burn and more two idiots standing around literally on fire from page one but not noticing until page two hundred.
