ADHD time processing: today is Monday, but tomorrow is Tuesday and i have class, after that is wednesday I’m having lunch with my mom, then on Thursday i have a night class which means it’s basically already Friday and this week is already over
“right now it’s 2:30, which means it’s almost 3, which means it’s only an hour away from 4 which is basically 6–How have I stayed up all night??”
the era of politicians zing-ing each other on like,twitter has me so depressed. i don’t want ha-ha funny quips between war criminals
Not just that, but it’s ducking weak! Like, I want politicians yelling in each other’s faces because they care about their citizens! Not fucking internet roasts! I want real, actual anger, in public, face to face!
I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.
Does anyone know who these artists are?? They’re brilliant and I’d like to credit them!!

Can this be the new trend this year? I really love it, making non-positive art into beautiful accepting positivity. And also very gay. Love the gay.
For anyone confused, what actually happened is that the US president ordered a drone strike on an Iranian general in a last ditch bid to stay in office.
Iran wants revenge and has declared 3 days of national mourning.
Trump knows that historically, people have been unwilling to unseat a president in times of war. He wants us to go to war so he won’t be voted out. It’s more important than ever that you vote now, in the primaries and otherwise. Don’t let us go to war because an impeached man wanted a few more years of job security.
I like to minimize politics talk here because this is my happy fanspace. But the real world is going to hell and we can put a stop to that.
The last two and a half generations have been raised on dystopian fiction where the youth rise up and retake the world from the corrupt, destructive, and uncaring.
We damn well recognize this era for what it is. (Killing a foreign dignitary in a drone strike, while he’s visiting another country, without the knowledge of Congress, to instigate a war and keep your presidency? Excuse me what.)
But those of us in Gen X & Y (Millennials) tend to think we missed our chance to Fix It. We’re far from 14 and we already spent the last two or more decades trying to save the tigers and stop global warming (climate change) and made some headway but WOW the people in charge are in the way.
It’s like friggin Captain Planet but we don’t have rings to summon the hero to take out the weirdly coiffed environment-destroying warmongering Fiend Of The Day.
But. We are old enough to replace them.
I repeat. WE CAN REPLACE THEM.
And I don’t just mean by voting them out. Obviously, start there! Your local elections are most important to help better politicians get a foothold, then move on to DC in the Congress or Senate.
And guess what?
The oldest members of Gen Z (18-24!) are old enough to vote in elections now.
The youngest members of Gen Y (Millennials) (25+) are old enough to join the House of Congress.
Millennials 30+ are old enough to join the Senate.
Millennials 35+ are old enough to be PRESIDENT.
But wait, you say, the Old Folks are Too Powerful.
There are about 76 million Baby Boomers
82 million Gen X
73 million Gen Y Millennials (25-39)
A good # of voting age Gen Z too
We can outvote them
And we can RUN AGAINST THEM.
Basically, find and support your local AOC, or BE your local AOC if so inclined.
I dunno about y'all but I’m kinda tired of being in a Captain Planet AU where the villains always win.
older siblings b like i hate u because mom made me do things before u were born and also because u are taller. younger siblings b like u are oppressing me by giving me a task. only children b like what the fuck is compromise, fuck you
middle children b like [disappear under mysterious circumstances]
OP forgetting middle children in the first post is on point
Okay so in case y'all don’t know, this is from Pose. A series about the black trans community and ball culture in new York during the 80’s. Its got vogueing, lgbt+ culture, history, drama, romance, comedy, tragedy. Its wonderful and historically accurate and all the trans people are playedby real trans actors.
This woman deadass committed a murder in the middle of a restaurant
I’m sure someone’s already transcribed this, but just in case they haven’t:
GRIFFIN: “…ah, but this Yahoo was sent in by, ah,
Amelie Belcher! Thanks, Amelie. It’s by Yahoo Answers user— JUSTIN: (weird falsetto with undetermined accent)
“Amelie?” [A beat of silence.] GRIFFIN: “What was that?
What wa—” JUSTIN: “It’s my impression of Amelie from the film—”
GRIFFIN: “From the
movie, ‘Amelie’?” JUSTIN: (weird falsetto with accent) “Amelie!” [Another beat.] GRIFFIN: “'Cause she just walks around—” TRAVIS: “That’s not an impression, you just—” GRIFFIN: “It’s about a young girl—” JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “Allo! I am Amelie!” GRIFFIN: (laughing) “—who… can only say her own
name.” JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “I cook an egg with a spoon!” [Griffin is still laughing.] JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “Amelie!” TRAVIS: (quietly) “Jesus.” GRIFFIN: (in hysterics) “She cook an egg with a spoon?” JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “Fall in love again with me, Amelie!
Now on DVD!” TRAVIS: “This week on Moneyzone: Amelie.” JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “You missed the f—you missed out new
relationships but maybe fall in love with me Amelie!” (I think? “Amelie”’s mystical
accent is difficult to parse. It’s like French-Finnish-Swedish or something.) “Don’t look for me on BluRay, I’m not on
BluRay yet! I’m on DVD!” [Griffin coughs, and then continues laughing. As “Amelie” goes on, you can hear Griffin laughing harder and harder.] JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “I’m too small to fit on the BluRay,
they lose me… I am Amelie! I’m hiding near the spindle… I am Amelie! JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “This laser
disc is gigantic. I am on the edge of it. Hellooo!” JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “It is like a plate for my
egg dinner. Delicious! I am Amelie!” [Griffin is now crying laughing.] JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “I am inside your pocket. You have
enough money to buy my DVD!” GRIFFIN: (weeping) “You
have to stop or it’ll be the whole show!” JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “I miss VHS tapes because I would
get in the little holes and spin around. Like teacups at Disney—” TRAVIS: “Is she a Borrower?! What’s going on?!” JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “Yes I live in a hole with a mice king!”
[Travis is now also laughing, while Griffin continues to
unravel.] JUSTIN, as AMELIE: “I’m married to the mice king. My
staff is a lollipop. Amelie!” [Another beat. I suspect Griffin edited out a long stretch
of him pleading for sweet release.] GRIFFIN: (catching his breath) “Okay.” TRAVIS: “Oh, jesus.” GRIFFIN: (sniffling and weak) “Thank you. Ugh. Christ.
Gimme a second. All right.”
End transcription. It is important that you know that occasionally, to this day, if the name Amelie is mentioned, Justin’s “Amelie” will very quietly say her own name.
I have met Amelie Belcher and she is rad and I love her and I miss her and she approves of this riff.
I was going to sat the same thing. I met Amelie Belcher at a con once and she was the coolest person!
