anyone who calls all individual actions like thrifting, going vegan or using public transport bad or useless, and instead encourages people to just wait for some kind of big revolution to happen before even considering making any change in their own lives is not actually that interested in things getting better

It's important to drink a lot of fluids when you're sick so that your body has the raw materials to generate gallons of snot.

I learned recently that mucus basically traps the viruses and expels them from your body which is why your body makes SO MUCH of it so now I just imagine drinking liquids as hiring a bunch of goons to take out the thrash y'see nyeehh see we taking back the streets from the bowler hat boys flush em out real good

Perhaps there are many problems which could be solved if you just made enough mucus

Reblog if you are solving problems by generating enough mucus

I think the invention of the term "traumadump" has done discussion of mental health a lot of harm. I keep seeing discourse vs whether or not it's okay to talk about heavy topics with your friends, and like... I feel like there is a very big and important difference between my definition of traumadumping (ie. Frequently and habitually diverting your conversations with others towards your own misery, often with the goal of focusing attention and sympathy towards yourself at the expense of those around you, and without recognizable effort to reciprocate your empathy towards those you are speaking to or to ensure their comfort) VS the mere act of having heavier conversations with those around you. I've seen a lot of backlash to the idea of traumadumping as a concept lately (they paywalled human connection etc etc) but I think it's worth recognizing there is absolutely a kind of behavior that can create a negative feedback loop with this stuff. Especially if you navigate a lot of spaces in social media, it's not uncommon to find people dropping really heavy stuff on complete strangers unprompted. Idk, I think there's a degree of nuance to be had that's maybe getting a bit lost due to everyone having different definitions of what it means to "trauma dump."

Trauma dumping was originally coined to talk about literal strangers dumping their trauma in your DMs or comments. It was never meant to be about friendships at all! It was asking STRANGERS not to unload in your DMs and ask for your help and then get shitty when you said you couldn’t help them.

So as it turns out James Somerton did in fact fake his suicide note, and did a bunch of other stuff in the meantime

oh my GOD

just to recap: james somerton

  • never actually acknowledged the fraud he did or returned the money he made by committing fraud
  • threw his supposed best friend under the bus (specifically blaming him for any bigoted statements he made)
  • made two - TWO - "apology" videos that only dug his hole deeper and involved several more absolutely bizarre lies
  • FAKED A SUICIDE NOTE AND POSTED IT TO TWITTER, THEN APPARENTLY SAT BACK AND WATCHED TV FOR SEVERAL DAYS WHILE KAT AND HARRY FUCKING PUT TOGETHER A WELLNESS CHECK FOR HIM
  • in the meantime also sockpuppeting defenses of himself (so much for him "taking responsibility" and just trying ~so hard~ to apologize and getting tragically, coldly denied)
  • and now is trying to perpetuate THE SAME FUCKING FRAUD without a hint of irony

Ohio isn’t just a Republican controlled, it is Republican dominated. The legislature and governor passed an abortion ban.

But Democrats got an initiative to codify abortion rights constitutionally (rendering the ban moot) on the ballot in Ohio last November, and it won by 13 percentage points. The magnitude of that cannot be overstated.

It was not a simple thing. It was the work of thousands of dedicated people, first to simply get the measure on the ballot, and then campaigning, going door-to-door, making phone calls, sending postcards, having community meetings, telling deeply personal stories, to convince people of the importance of a yes vote. It cost hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars and incalculable human hours of work.

And here we are less than four months later, and Nina Turner is pretending that it never happened and doesn’t matter.

This is yet another example of the American leftist movement’s bullshit purity politics serving as a black hole of ignorance and self-serving dishonesty. If it doesn’t happen exactly the way they want, it doesn’t count.

Nina and the rest of her cohort can join us in reality at any time.

As a leftist I want to say: I have heard absolutely nothing about this before now. That is one of the many problems of the Democratic Party. They are awful at promoting the good work that they are doing. They need to talk more about the work they are doing and spreading the word. Instead, to someone who is outside of the states they were successful in, it looks like they aren’t doing anything other than raising money. Talking about the issues and highlighting what they are working towards and have achieved already would be a great way to help engage their base.

Ways people can be informed about the accomplishments of the Biden administration and Democrats, a short form list:

  • Reading a quality newspaper’s daily politics/government coverage
  • Watching or listening to a quality daily news reporting (not commentary) program on TV or radio
  • Reading the emails sent by Democratic house reps and senators, even though they contain fundraising appeals with the information
  • Reading the direct postal mail pieces sent, probably quarterly, by their Democratic house reps and senators, even though they contain fundraising appeals with the information
  • Participating in telephone town halls with the Democratic house reps and senators, which require nothing more than listening
  • Watching the press conferences the White House holds for every major bill signing or other event
  • Watching the White House daily press briefing, in part or in whole, live or recorded
  • Following Democratic members of Congress, the White House, the Biden presidential campaign, the Democratic Party, the DCCC, the DSCC, the Democratic segment of various congressional committees, and Democratic governors from around the country on social media where they post about accomplishments as they occur

Honestly, I don’t know what else Democrats could be doing to make their accomplishments known. None of it is secret or being kept from anybody. People just don’t pay any attention and then they say “I didn’t know.” Well, how the hell would you know?

If you’re not putting any effort into staying informed, you’re not going to be informed.

WITCHCRAFT!!!!!!!!

The same person!!!

Hand over the fucking gender. This is a robbery hand the gender over

Just adding a side by side comparison because WHAT THE FUCK

Some notes for the right side side:

  • Curve shoulders forward + broaden the chest
  • Look down your nose and tilt head back and slump
  • Eyebrows relaxed, mouth shape less exaggerated
  • Eyes less open
  • Untucked hair
  • Sports bra/binder can help
  • Wide stable stance to emphasize rectangular shape
  • Makeup to minimize flushed cheeks
  • Hands in pockets

Left side:

  • Puff chest out, good posture
  • Hands behind the back to emphasize waist
  • Cross legs or narrow stance to emphasize hips
  • Face tilted down, eyes up and slightly wide
  • Head tilted slightly, tucked hair
  • Makeup (rep lipstick, mascara)
  • Off shoulder collar rather than straight on
  • Push up bra (no idea if used here, but it's a classic tool)

Just in case someone wanted to try it themselves :3
