“Charles, you are distracting me. If you want me to read on, you must stop this.”

“Do you really want me to stop?”

“Well ...”

“Knew it. Do keep reading, though. I love when you do the voices. Especially Gollum.”

“I shan’t do Gollum with you doing ... that.

“Please.”

“Oh, very well. You really are impossible ... my preciousss.”

Happy Tolkien Reading Day, and happy 11 months of Dead Boy Detectives. This is also my first (of three) Fandom Trumps Hate 2025 pieces. It’s for Angie who asked for some domestic Payneland.

Y'all - Khorazir is so awesome. Thanks again!

R.I.P. 1936 - 2021

Whatever you landed on has completely disappeared from Tumblr. Any posts including or referencing it have vanished, and none will ever be made again. No one else notices its absence, and no one else will ever ask about it.

"comfort character". yeah, I'd notice pretty fast. only reason I didn't pick immediately is because I don't get on Tumblr very often...

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

LIKE TO CHARGE REBLOG TO CAST! -Admin

tldr; not only is "Terrorism" a harder charge to "prove" in NY compared to "murder", this charge would make it easier to present the elements that made Luigi a folk hero to the jury.

How to make a call script to talk about a bill

Alright, so if you're here you've probably seen those posts about "call your senator/rep/whomever about xyz" but then don't include a script. Here's a formula to making your own. Remember that you will likely to be talking to an aide, not the person themself, so you'll be using third person (he/she) rather than second person (you/your). Once you fill in the script for yourself on whatever your issue is, pass that new script around. Calling your representatives is a numbers game, not a uniqueness game, and a completed script helps with accessibility.

If you want to do this but need help, especially if you're trying to call a politician who usually doesn't align with you, feel free to send me an ask and I'll help you. It's a good skill to have, but it's not intuitive to everyone and that's okay!

Option 1: The Basic I've never had this version take more than a minute, and since the bulk of calls are boiled down to a yea/nay without much regard for content outside of that, it does it's job.

Hi. I'm calling today from [place your person represents] as a constituent of [name of your person]. I heard about [bill number], or the [name of bill], and was calling to express my [support/concern] for it, as it would seriously [benefit/harm][name of your person]'s constituents in my community. Because of this, I'm calling on [him/her] to vote [yes/no] when the bill comes to a floor vote. (They'll say that they'll pass it along) Thank you, I appreciate that. Have a good day. *hang up*

Option 2: The Deluxe This one takes a little more effort, but can help your call stand out a bit, which helps indicate that you actually do care. Before you call, look on their website to see if they've supported any initiatives similar to the one you're calling about (even if it's kinda tangential). This works because most people call to complain, so saying "you're doing a good job" is a nice change of pace. They're people too, even if they're detached.

Hi. I'm calling today from [place your person represents] as a constituent of [name of your person]. I heard about [bill number], or the [name of bill], and was calling to express my [support/concern] for it, as it would seriously [benefit/harm][name of your person]'s constituents in my community by [main selling point of your bill/reason to vote it down]. As someone who expects my [office of person]s to look out for the people of [place your person represents], I was pleased to see [name of person] vote [for/against] the [name of bill] bill, showing their commitment to [main selling point of example bill/reason to vote it down]. To continue this trend, I'm calling on [him/her] to vote [yes/no] when the [name of bill] comes to a floor vote. (They'll say that they'll pass it along) Thank you, I appreciate that. Have a good day. *hang up*

This is going to be really important going forward, as political fatigue is a serious risk over the next four years. But calling your representatives works, and will continue to work, even as things seem like they getting worse and worse. Keep at it. Build up a practice of doing it. It will help.
