update from the UK lads

  • gove and boris, pioneers of the leave vote, are literally MIA. like…no one knows where any of the leave campaign are
  • the chancellor is basically missing
  • we effectively have no PM
  • the tory party are in the midst of a civil war so brutal john major’s tenure looks chill
  • there may or may not be a snap election
  • the labour party literally barely exists as its shadow cabinet resigns en masse
  • labour’s deputy leader, hero of the story tom watson, spent the whole of the leadership crisis last night at a silent disco at glastonbury, while snapchatting
  • this fucking hilarious video in which it is revealed vote leave have no contingency plan and the presenter literally ends saying “i don’t know what to say to that”
  • no one actually wants to press the big red button (article 50) to start the process of brexit
  • this conspiracy theory appears to be entirely correct. seriously, read it. it basically suggests brexit is entirely impossible
  • nicola sturgeon, separatist first minister of scotland, is effectively the only leader with a plan: that plan being the break up of the united kingdom
  • literally we have become a meme

is anyone else annoyed by the stereotype that young people’s phones are a loud and annoying device? because i have never heard anyone under 30 who doesn’t have their phone on vibrate. like 100% of the time if the marimba ringtone starts blaring it’s the older generations.

and as I’m already seeing the “oh my god England why would you do this” posts from non-Brits, please know these things before you start being judgey:

our government is, in all honesty, a shambles

give tumblr’s demographics, chances are your British followers reading your posts are not the ones who voted leave, and we are watching our economy and future prospects crash around us

please don’t be arseholes about it and mock the decisions that we did not make

TO ANYONE LIVING IN THE UK

There is a petition to try and call another referendum about the EU, with a rule asking for a 60% majority before a decision is made. Yes this is a shitty time, but hopefully there’s still a chance to fix things. The Leave campaign have already gone back on some of their promises before the referendum, so please, if you can, can you sign this? If we get 100 000 signatures parliament have to debate it, so please. Even if you’re not in the UK if you can share this to try and get it out there, that would be fantastic. Here’s the link:

Please guys, please sign this petition. Please share if your not in the UK so your uk followers can sign it. We need to at least attempt to reverse this awful situation. The site keeps crashing thanks to high volumes but keep trying. This is so important.

SIGN AND SHARE we can get this to 1 million

The Sims 4 Patch Adds Gender Customisation

“The update gives players more ways to reflect the world around them, or in their imaginations, creating the sims and the stories they want,” says lead producer Lyndsay Pearson. “Our players are constantly engaged in a conversation with us about The Sims, and they’re always requesting more of everything,” says Pearson. “We always have an incredibly long list of things we want to add to the game, and so much of that list comes directly from player feedback. In this case, players have been asking why certain hairstyles, clothing, and other options were limited to one gender or the other… We also saw it as an awesome chance to continue to nurture what’s always been an inclusive environment for all our players.”

Pearson says that in addition to taking feedback from fans, the development team also consulted with GLAAD on the update to ensure the changes were respectful. Pearson says that there’s likely more on the way as well. “We’re always looking for new ways to push creative boundaries for our players,” she says, “and these tools grow over time, just like the game itself.”

it’s hurts so much to think that it’s very likely that some of the victims of this attack will be outed only in death, that they sought out a space where publicly closeted people could be themselves but they will never be able to come out on their own

they will be outted to their friends and families without their consent by the announcement of their death
