This is just such classic Joanne. Habitually incurious and self-assured in her total knowledge of every subject, such that she never once feels the need to do any more than extremely cursory research about the world around her. She has terf brainrot, yes, but the English colonial mentality claimed her long before that.

motherfucker said PROFESSIONAL

Here on tumblr we are all professionals.

If you can't wash it off, paint over it, replace the item, or buff it out, turn a message of hate into one of love! I would never condone someone to do this discreetly and in mere seconds with a quickly concealed permanent marker, for example on a public bench or bus stop. Certainly not anything like whipping out a tat machine and adding to an unconscious white supremacist's existing tattoo. That would be illegal! :) And, dear followers, I would never encourage you to do something that's illegal. So, please only use this when someone has defaced your personal property to avoid breaking the law! Because that would be illegal, and following in the law is always in everyone's best interest. :) .... :) reblogs and even reposts definitely welcome

Oh my god Wisconsin's governor just used a line item veto to secure school funding increases every year through 2425. He struck out a line so it now reads "through the 2023-2425 school year". He's allowed to do this lol

Coastal Dems: now we can't go too far now haha, we can't. We've got to be reasonable, you know, also eight of us might defect to the Republicans if you're mean to us

Midwest Dems in control of no legislative bodies:

i love blackout poetry

AGAIN?

so. today is my birthday.

i’ve been wanting to watch the 1987 he-man movie for a while now, and decided to use the power of birthday peer pressure to con my beloved friends into watching it with me. primarily by hearkening back to my first (only) dolph lundgren exposure, In the Name of the King 2: Two Worlds, an Uwe Boll movie that i didn’t realize starred He-Man until we got to the credits and said “wait. I know that name,“ which nobody has ever let me forget

i got home from work & we chilled for a while, shooting the shit, watching some cat videos, playing scrabble, a veritable buffet of clare treats. neo kicked my ass with “jerking” played on a triple word score & every turn took twenty minutes because i can’t multitask (there were cat videos in another tab, what was i supposed to do), but by the time we’d all eaten dinner and settled in i was fuckin’ vibrating with excitement. when i say i’d been wanting to watch it for a while i mean like, at least a year.

hollis gets back from eating & they reveal they were able to find a version with subtitles, which is essential to my enjoyment of movies bc for real, i can’t multitask. how listen and watch thing at same time? impossible.

i cheer and clap and cheer as they load it up & as i see the file load i remember, abruptly, the blorbius incident.

“this isn’t gonna turn into morbius halfway through, is it?” i ask, deeply suspicious. they all laugh and hollis assures me it isn’t. “when would i have had time to do that” they ask, like they hadn’t apparently spent hours searching for a subtitled version. “it took three weeks to cut blade and morbius together” they said, which sounded like bullshit, but Castle Grayskull was onscreen so i kind of blacked out for a minute

first twenty minutes or so are a wild ride. the effects are insane, the matte paintings are beautiful, i’m dropping Masters of the Universe trivia left and right, Monica from Friends is there… the bad guys set fire to a high school as they hunt the macguffin, which He-Man manages to track just in time, running down the sidewalk

and then Dolph Lundgren falls out of a portal and it’s In the Name of the King 2: Two Worlds. they did it again. i was lulled into a false sense of security by being a little birthday guy & they got my ass, again.

so now one of the worst movies i’ve seen is playing out as we laugh ourselves silly, just long enough for me to catch my breath & realize they’ve added cartoon sound effects as well, which sets me to a fresh round of cackling.

“you son of a bitch” i wheeze, as they take Dolph Lundgren into a terrible, terrible castle set. “i’m obsessed with–”

a slideshow of he-man pictures set to “Crom” from Conan the Barbarian: The Musical begins playing. the same picture of a skeletor t-shirt features at least 12 times. it is my birthday.

eventually we all calmed down enough to put on the rest of Masters of the Universe (1987), although not before i notice they misspelled “bluray” in their fake file name. you’d think i would have learned but damn. damn. i guess not

this enormous tea cup was inspired by this illustration from Gerhard Heilmann, drawn in 1900-1901. I just love these mice. unfortunately I couldn't fit all five of them on the cup.

Op this is gorgeous and you should absolutely make a bigger one also just for all the mices

if I made one any bigger, it’d be a bowl lol

you're doomscrolling and see some post on your dash start off with grade-A uncut liberal tripe, im talking Picrew icon making a powerpoint about how anyone criticizing democrats or telling you not to vote is a russian chaos agent, and you keep scrolling waiting to see when someone dunks on it, because surely this wouldn't just be on your dashboard uncritically, right? you curated your following list better than this, any second now there's gonna be a funny reaction gif or a - okay well maybe it's under the "continue reading"? no? it just keeps going? oh thank god we've finally reached the end, this will be the sarcastic takedown. wait... no, this can't be right, it's a comment from liberalsarecool about Hillary's emails??? where's the leftism?????? and you break your index finger scrolling back up to see who's responsible for making you see this HuffPo fuck shit before cocking your head to the side and going "oh, you!" because of course it's one of the handful of normies you followed way back when you first joined and never got around to unfollowing as your politics shifted from "voted for Obama" to "America delenda est" because the flash of anger you just felt is one of the only things that makes you feel alive any more

the european quest for indian riches changed the world so irrevocably, and it leaves these terrible echoes, for those that live in the caribbean now are deemed west and east indians and the native americans deemed indians too and when india is finally opened up inevitably the forms of immiseration evolve. but the plunder continues.

colonizers see non white people and be like is anyone going to call them indians
