Howdy newbies and welcome to Tumblr, it takes a bit of setup to get this site running well so here’s what works for me. One of the neat things about this site is that its a different experience for everyone, so tailor these settings towards what you want from this site. 

New XKit 

Wanna give a quick shoutout to the federal judge last week who struck down the Arkansas law that tried to outlaw gender-affirming care for minors, not only ruling it unconstitutional, but including 311 statements of fact all going against the gender-affirming care ban in a ruling that was 80 pages long. Especially since these statements make it harder for transphobes to appeal and iirc this is considered precedent.

name, don't forget to credit him by name! BIG thank you to judge james moody jr. for protecting trans kids in my state!!

BIG fucking mood

they seem to not like it when we doubt their credibility so i think the best thing to do now is further trash the reputation of an illegitimate SCOTUS. time to keep crossing that line. attending law school doesn’t mean you can’t have a shit take on something

Questioning the government is literally the founding principle of this country

I actually want to know where this myth comes from. I keep hearing this but I find no evidence of this even on the ground. Don't give me evidence of civil war or some shit like that which was fought to uphold slavery directly or indirectly or spreading covid.

I wonder how rich christians keep themselves convinced that they're not, like, the super villains of real life

"it's god's will that I make everything as shitty and lame as possible for everyone everywhere" ???

wasn't the whole premise of christianity supposed to be that if you do shitty things that you very much are judged

So there was a dude named Calvin who decided that whether you go to heaven or not was decided at the start of time, based on your actions in life, and modern Christians in sects that follow that idea (all the major American ones) decided that meant the things Good Christians do are always good and deserving of heaven

when good people do bad things, its actually good, because theyre good people who are definitely going to heaven, which means they cant do bad things.

when bad people do good things, its actually bad, because theyre bad people who are going to hell, which means they cant do good things.

also, if you werent a good person, you wouldnt be rich, you would be poor. the simple fact that you are rich is proof that god loves you more than all the dirty poors, which means youre a good person and none of the things you do are ever bad.

any attempts to make life better for other people are actually bad because if they were righteous their lives would already be good, and the only reason their lives are bad is because they are bad people. if you do good things for those people, who are bad, then youre actually doing bad things, because youre encouraging them to keep being bad. if they want to be good and have a good life like you, they just need to start being good and get a job and make lots of money, and then theyll be a good person.

american christianity is not built on any actual, reasonable interpretation of their religious text, nor is it founded on any sort of consistent or legible moral code. it is founded on the idea that good people are born good and bad people are born bad and good things only happen to good people and bad things only happen to bad people, and any mental gymnastics necessary to make that philosophy work are justified because the alternative would mean actually doing some introspection and changing ones behavior, which is actually the devil talking to you and telling you to stop being good.

the point of it all is not to encourage evil people to be good. its to convince evil people theyre already good and thus deserve all the nice things they have, and to convince good people theyre already bad and thus deserve all the bad things that happen to them.

This is also why American conservatives apply their morals in a completely detached way to their leadership. It does not matter that trump broke and continues to break every concept of sexual morality that they hold, because he is on the Right Side, and is thus a Good Man, and any appearance of evil is by definition fleeting and unimportant. By definition, nothing Trump can do is evil to them.

On the other hand, no matter how good someone on the left may seem, they are categorically evil so what good they do must be a trick designed to make you trust them, or secretly evil somehow (giving the starving food makes them lazy!! Is that what Jesus would want!?)

Now where you might think this breaks down is when a conservative is poor and thus by just world theory deserves it. But how they actually think is that they are poor because of all the evil leftists doing the will of Satan and ruining everything. Because in their religion god can be overpowered by satanic forces of [insert here things their leaders tell them to hate, like gay people]. Think of how many articles conservatives run about gays people killing god and such. And that is why bad things happen to good people.

It is a world view completely detached from reality and the supposed texts of their religion that runs on hate and resentment of the other as a source of religious fervor. People are racist and homophobic or otherwise hateful so hard they have a religious experience about it, and that is where much of american christianity is at.

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate

BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard to get rid of it!

reblog to help keep the internet less annoying and to tell corporations that try shit like this to go fuck themselves <3

thinkin about dnf again and how like. my dad has lectured me for YEARS that a romantic life partner should also be your best friend. relationships last when you want each other romantically, sure, but you need to have a sense of companionship. i love you so much i will drive you to the hospital and get snacks after. i love you so much i will make you soup when you’re coughing up blood. i love you so much that i will share space with you just for the sake of sharing space, even when i’ve never seen your face. i love you so much that i’ll lean your seat back when you fall asleep. i love you so much that i’ll stay up late until you get home (i missed you). like. before anything else dnf are Best Fucking Friends and THAT is what makes their relationship so fucking solid.

I finally switched to firefox and I've seen a lot of posts about the effortless importing of preferences from chrome and how it's important to support non-chromium platforms, but nobody is talking about the loss of productivity that happens when beautiful women come to your house to kiss you on the mouth because they heard you use firefox now. nobody's talking about this

i actually have no words. like this is actually crazy.

Help I can't stop making these

back in 2021-2022, I saw a tumblr post with dsmp and hermitcraft crossover topic (I couldn't find the post, unfortunately), and the point of this post was about the fact that mumbo could very well fit into the dsmp realities with a level of chaos on the server, plus an interesting interaction between c!dream and mumbo. it made the gears turn in my head and created this?? <:D

Meanwhile at the Dream team's house...

The fact that Blueberry TV is still editing and uploading old dsmp streams to this day so fans can go back and enjoy these moments that were lost to time is something I feel we should acknowledge and appreciate more. That takes a whole lot of love and dedication to continue a project this big

the x files is funny because at the time it was “progressive” or whatever to have the ultra-rational, levelheaded character be a woman

but it’s also a show where all the fucked up alien shit actually is real, so she’s just constantly wrong about everything

What’s funny is how often they’re both wrong. Mulder will be like “the victims all had their livers scooped clean out this is obviously the aliens escalating from cattle mutilation” and Scully will be like “don’t be silly Mulder this is clearly just a serial killer who’s really good with surgical tools” and then it turns out the actual killer is an immortal sewer man who comes out ever quarterly century to feast on human liver.

I cannot stress enough that this is literally the plot of an actual episode
