Fuck hostile architecture, I want unhostile architecture. I want benches to be designed to be as easy as possible to sleep on. I want little places for pigeons to nest to be purposefully put on buildings. I want people designing public spaces to think about what they'd be like to skateboard on. I want "Please loiter" signs.

ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS
- i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.
- there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.
- there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.
- doing nothing is good for my soul.
- i am not defined by what i produce.
- my worth cannot be measured by my paycheck, my job title, or a list of professional or academic achievements.
- i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.
- i will not let society decide what success looks like. i can define what successful life looks like for me.
Can a pro piracy girl and a pro physical media boy really fall in love

listen. aging into your thirties rocks. yes your joints get a little creaky. yes you can’t sleep in a pretzel on the floor anymore after a concert or a convention. and you lose some friends. but the thing is that you sort out who your real friends are and you sort out who you really are. and you get to see your friends settling into careers they like, and adopt new dogs and cats, and you find a job you can stand, and get really good at arts and crafts, and maybe that book you loved as a kid gets a movie deal and it doesn’t suck, and you learn to like new food and bake your own bread, and you realize that the great portfolio of self harm scars you all used to curate are going white with age and not updated, and half your friends are a different gender now and so much happier and maybe you are too, and you know who you are, and that it’s a journey and not a revelation. it’s a direction you’re headed, and you’re enjoying the trip.
reaching your 30′s rocks. and i’m hearing good things about what comes next, too.
i am looking into your eyes, i am holding your hand. i absolutely promise.
if you can just live long enough, your soul will build your body into a home. you will live there and you will find a way to be at peace. it’s worth the time and it’s worth the work. i promise.
Your soul will build your body into a home.
Anonymous asked:
Is it actually illegal to feed the homeless in Texas? o.o
As someone who has had friends get arrested for it yes. It very much so is illegal here. In fact when they did get arrested that word made it to the Arab spring and they did a March for us. Hillary Clinton was asked about it by the UN (she was doing her job as Secretary of State at the time) and decided to ignore it. Its very fucked but yes it is illegal to do good things here.
I see people thinking this is just a texas problem and in encourage you to look up your own states laws. It's more common than you'd think.
#I worked with food not bombs (organization that passes food out to unsheltered people) during Peak Covid#we had a inside joke that if a cop asked what why we had so much food that is was soup#for our family#even if it was not soup#whatever food we had made was all soup for the family#plus cans of soup are good things to throw#so soup was like a mascot
hello this is my favorite post ever and also life goals
Awww,,, goalsssss
Not scene but reblogging anyway cuz this is my blog and I think it’s SO FUCKING IMPORTANT as a young trans person to see older trans people that are still happy and alive and in a good place in life with people that love them. We all deserve this <3
one thing i really like about nimona's final form is that it has no teeth. she bears no real threat to the city. yet, they still misconstrued her into a monster hoping to destroy their kingdom and all they got. her teeth make vivid appearances when she's either committing violence or showing key personality traits aka being herself. she has nothing left of herself because of this country and still she doesn't aim to hurt anyone. she bears no threat. SHE BEARS NO THREAT!!! DO U UNDERSTAND 😭😭😭 she doesn't hurt one person during this scene. she hurts a few buildings, sure, but doesn't hurt a single person. if anything, the kingdom hurts itself more than she ever did (via missiles, bombs, guns, etc). maybe i'm over analyzing this but this movie is sick
YES. Because the parallel to the first village burning down in the flashback. She ment no harm and chose small forms first. Even when the villagers got more aggressive and she picked bigger animals to defend herself she never touched any of them. All the damage done was fully the villagers fault. They threw the fire that would fall and burn it all down. They destroyed their homes and livelihoods trying to kill her. And then history repeats on an even larger scale.
Don’t forget that in Rowling’s world there are only three kinds of women:
Mothers (or nurturers), bitches, and jokes.
That’s it.
Petunia is a bitch until she admits to worry for Harry and Dudley.
Narcissa Malfoy is a bitch until she admits to worry for Draco.
Mrs. Black is a mother who refuses to nurture and is a bitch.
Fleur Delacourt is a bitch until she chooses to devote herself to nurturing Bill.
Rita Skeeter is a bitch.
Bellatrix Lestrange is a bitch.
Dolores Umbridge is a bitch.
Aunt Marge is a bitch.
Pansy Parkinson is a bitch.
Molly Weasley is a mother.
Lily Potter is a mother.
Mrs. Longbottom is a mother.
Tonks is a mother.
Ginny is a joke until she becomes Harry’s emotional support, and postcanon is a mother.
Hermione’s entire role is to support Harry and Ron and—yup—in the epilogue is a mother.
Narcissa is redeemed by being a mother.
Luna Lovegood is a mother and teacher.
Minerva McGonagall is a head of house—what we in the US call a housemother—and headmistress.
Professor Hooch is a teacher.
Professor Sprout is a teacher.
Merope Riddle is a mother and entirely devoted to a man.
Cho Chang’s entire character is “I’m devoted to a man.” She straddles the line between mother and joke.
Professor Trelawney? Joke.
Moaning Myrtle? Joke.
Also, note that when Rowling wants you to dislike a female character, she always goes straight for their looks. Narcissa always looks like she’s smelled something unpleasant. Umbridge looks like a toad. Rita Skeeter is “mannish.” Petunia is “scrawny” while Aunt Marge is described as fat in super-fatphobic ways and Umbridge is described as looking like a toad. When we first meet Hermione she’s described as “frizzy-haired and bucktoothed” and her teeth are magically fixed after she becomes a love interest. Cho’s friend, I forget her name because she literally only shows up once, turns in Dumbledore’s Army and her punishment—which is treated as a joke—is disfiguring acne and scarring across her face.
And let’s not forget the implication that Umbridge was raped, which is also treated as a joke!
Yeah, that sure is some feminist writing right there!
Don’t forget that Merope is also a r*pist because she used a love potion, entirely negating consent in her relationship with Tom Riddle Sr.
Not only is she a rapist (hon you gotta type that out for the Tumblr blacklist to catch it, this ain't TikTok), here's a list of OTHER people in the books who've committed sexual crimes: --Romilda Vane (attempts to give Harry a date rape drug, accidentally drugs Ron instead) --Molly Weasley (admits to using date rape drugs, which is treated as a silly thing girls do sometimes) --Moaning Myrtle (admits to hanging out in the prefects' bathroom to see them undress and bathe) --Rita Skeeter (hides in the boys' dormitory; it's unclear whether she watched them undress) --James Potter (restrains a boy against his will and exposes his genitals to a crowd of onlookers; demands a date from a girl in exchange for stopping the assault) --Sirius Black (aids and abets James Potter in the above) --Aberforth Dumbledore (fucked a goat, apparently) --Fred and George Weasley (produce and sell date rape drugs, which they market toward underage girls) And a bonus via horrible metaphor: Fenrir Greyback (lycanthropy is supposedly the wizarding analogue of HIV/AIDS; Greyback deliberately attacks and infects Lupin) Notice something funny about this list? Because I do. All the victims--except the goat, which is a goat--are male, and every single one is underage. The only victim in the entire series who's over the age of 18 is Tom Riddle Sr. and the lesson we're supposed to take away from that is "if you're a rape baby, you're gonna be a murderous racist psychopath." So let's see...we have nine separate confirmed instances of sexual assault, ten if we assume the heavily-implied Umbridge assault scene was definitely assault. Seven of them are played for laughs. One is played as a tragedy. Two are played as horrible violations. ....wait.....hang on..... The "feral gay man who deliberately infects others with AIDS" stereotype metaphor and the "coded as a trans woman or possibly a lesbian" stereotype metaphor are the ones seen as horrible violations.
WHOOPS. Should we add that the only canonly gay character is actively a child groomer, and the text straight up calls him out for it? ("You're raising him like a lamb to the slaughter.") So much for "she's not homophobic"! And I'd also suggest she's an active danger to young boys, given her apparent zest for writing them as victims of sexual assault.

President Biden signed the executive order January 27, 2021. This is the first time I’ve even heard of this. Here are a couple of links with more info:
Biden gets a lot of flack for being a generic neo liberal rather than a cool leftist, and trust me I’m 100% on board with criticizing Biden, but it occurred to me that, at least by my standards, he’s the best president I’ve lived under. Clinton was just “What if Reaganomics but with a saxophone”, Obama did pass the ACA, but he also cut it to bits to appease the republicans who didn’t vote for it anyway, and he constantly bombed middle-eastern civilians. I’m not even gonna bother mentioning any of the republicans since I don’t need to convince my intended audience that they’re bad.
Biden, while he’s obviously had some major bad decisions (breaking the rail strike, failing to defend trans rights), has done more actual good than I think anyone else I’ve lived under. He’s nearly completely ended drone strikes, he’s addressing the debt crisis (everyone knows about the $10k, but very few I’ve seen know about the changes he’s made to how federal student loans work that make them far less of a burden/deathtrap), and now there’s the above, which I’m just learning about.
Never let perfect be the enemy of good, and while Biden is very far from being a perfect president, I’m pretty comfortable calling him a good one.
For all the people who insist they never trust politicians, they are sure adamant about waiting until the stars align and political Jesus comes down from the clouds to save us. If you actually didn’t like or trust politicians you would accept that the great majority of the time we are going to have to work with mediocrity.
Biden is boring and uninspiring for sure, but he is significantly less offensive than the vast majority of other options and he is someone we can influence. We want someone we can influence and push towards our positions. Biden has shown that if he isn’t an ally, he at least can be persuaded or pushed into doing what we, the left, want. There are few candidates we can actually say that about.
The point is not that he’s perfect. The point is that he’s very clearly shown that he cares about using his political mandate to make things better. The point is that he cares about accountability. The point is that he cares about what historians will say about him in the future. The point is, these are good qualities in a leader. The kind of qualities that we can work with.
With regards to the rail strike, he continued working with the railways after the strike and just recently got them to give the workers their sick leave. https://www.ibew.org/media-center/Articles/23Daily/2306/230620_IBEWandPaid
“We’re thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement,” Russo said. “Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers.”
Cackling.

(Falling to my knees, begging, pleading)
Please.
Folks, seriously.
PLEASE.
Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.
Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend.
URGING you to consider firework alternatives:
- screaming “bang! boom!” at the sky
- dropping a stack of large books on the floor
- wrapping a toga around a candle
- play America the Beautiful while combining Coke and Mentos
