Okay, I’ll make one for Optimus Prime.

The first song will be Two Trucks by L- fuck.

All useful things turn to shit when you privatize them.

Basically, any politician talking about privatization of any public service should be taken as a glowing neon sign reading “I’M CORRUPT AND I WANT TO MAKE MY CRONIES RICHER AT YOUR EXPENSE”

i uninstalled the tumblr app when, after an update, it would start randomly opening itself sometimes when i unlocked my phone. like. i wasn’t clicking a notification before unlocking or anything. the app would just sometimes decide that it was time for me to look at tumblr. 

now i exclusively use tumblr when i can be on a pc with adblock. 

Y'ALL THIS IS THE NEW WHITE HOUSE MONKEYPOX COORDINATOR HOLY SHIT

Biden really said "I think we need a raging queer leather daddy doctor to run the country's monkeypox response" and he was RIGHT

yeah this is based

Oh fuck that is a good call: that's a gentleman whose career started while AIDS was in full swing within his community, who has championed harm reduction approaches to infectious disease, and who is pointed in his insistence on destigmatizing high risk communities rather than setting himself apart from them. This is someone who understands harm reduction and meeting people where they are without judgement, which is precisely the attitude you want to have when you grapple with a stigmatized epidemic.

Here's an article about his appointment to director of HIV/AIDS prevention from February 2021. Look at his career: he's been working in HIV/AIDS nearly his entire adult life and career. He's been working on increasing public health within stigmatized populations by focusing on harm reduction that entire time. Hell, this is someone with the institutional memory to remember Anthony Fauci's piss poor treatment of HIV during the Reagan administration and carry a grudge because the man didn't go far enough.

By the way, this is absolutely an example of harm reduction in terms of exercising your right to vote: there is zero chance that an advocate like Daskalakis would have been appointed under a Trump administration, but the incoming Biden administration installed him in the previous director position (which he still holds, as he adds monkeypox to his case load) as early as late 2020, before Biden was even properly inaugurated. That doesn't mean this administration is perfect or that we can't continue to agitate for better change, but it does mean that things are better and fewer people are going to die. That's basic harm reduction in action: you focus on survival for the most people as your metric, you take the route that results in the best outcome for the situation you have, and you do not ever let the imaginary perfect become the enemy of the tangible better.

Fuck, this is delightful good news. Well done Dr. Daskalakis, and all the best of luck to you and yours!

Btw, this reminded me that the Mongolian band The HU exists and are totally awesome. Not techno, but there’s more Mongolian throat singing there if you want it.

This guy’s name is Ummet Ozcan, and the song in the video is Xanadu! Can’t believe nobody in this thread has credited him yet. His stuff is on YT and Spotify!

Some kid on here was saying Sea Hawk harassed Mermista until he wore her down which is so laughably off base, like her vibe with him at the beginning of the show is 100% "we're fucking but I won't be seen in public with you".

its also just not true, like she was annoyed with him, but they’re obviously been hanging out for a while and other than sea hawk sitting on her lap without real “permission” persay the first time we see them, she’s always the one bringing him along. he doesn’t wear her down, mermista is doing some self imposed long term exposure therapy bc she knows this man will treat her right if she can just get over how embarrassing it is to be known and loved.

hello I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. The anonymity of tumblr means that I associate my idea/image of you with your icon and sometimes I look at people’s icons and I’m like ‘hmmm….what is that and why?’ 

so pls reblog this and comment in the tags the meaning behind your icon and why you chose it. this is a social experiment. do it for science pls.
