Literally why would you ever go for Bernie when Elizabeth Warren is RIGHT there

A vote for Sanders is a vote for Trump. All he can hope to do is spoil the Dem’s chances.

VOTE BERNIE IF YOU WANT 4 MORE YEARS OF TRUMP 

FUCK THAT NOISE HELL NO.

We are not doing this again.

Lobby hard for your choice in the primaries, but do not insult the other options. 

I like Warren a lot more than Sanders. I like Klobuchar and Harris better than either of them. Right now, Gillibrand is my top choice. 

BUT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE IN NOVEMBER, whoever that turns out to be.

And since I want to be able to get behind them, I want to know what their good points are. I want to know what I can expect them to do, and - this important - what issues aren’t on their top priority list, so I can let them know what matters to me. 

All of them are smart, decent people. All of them want a better country, a better world. All of them would, on their worst day, be better than Trump at his best, assuming he has something a sane person could call “best.” 

No infighting this time. No circular firing squads. Do not insult, denigrate, discourage, or bully people who are supporting the candidates you dislike. WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THIS.

Before the primaries, figure out who is the best representative for your interests, and promote the hell out of them. Encourage people to vote. Get people registered. Tell everyone why you like this one better than that one - based on policies and history, not “he’s a lying scumbag” or “she caters to corporate greed.” 

None of them is perfect. ALL OF THEM ARE BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE - do not help the Republicans (and the Russians!) suppress progressive voters by badmouthing other people’s choices.

I don’t want Sanders. I think he’s too old (and so is Warren) and we need people whose understanding of business and social dynamics are based on recent trends. I think Sanders is too caught up in social class as the only real axis of oppression; I don’t think he understands intersectionality. I worry that he favors gun rights more than is safe.

I’m not voting for him in the primaries. But if he gets the nomination, HE HAS MY VOTE IN NOVEMBER. And not in a “ugh, holding my nose and voting against Trump” way - he wants medical care for everyone; he wants college to be available to all; he wants strong unions and worker support. I can get behind those policy plans.

No litmus tests this time. No single issue that convinces people to stay home in November 2020. Pick one you like, or pick a few that you’re deciding between - but don’t convince yourself that any of them are evil incarnate and must be stopped at all costs.

Because we have that. And Republicans know damn well that they only win elections by splitting and suppressing votes for Democrats - so they’ll be hyping “this candidate is too terrible to vote for!!! Just stay home!” for the next year and a half.

FUCKING THIS.

We do not shoot down any decent, viable candidate this time. 

Listen, if the Democratic candidate winds up being a dead lizard in a broken-down Radio Flyer wagon, I will vote for them, because a dead lizard would be better for this country than the utterly disgusting, morally vacant person that currently holds the office.

And until then? I’m going to assume that people shit-stirring to get people to turn on Dem candidates are actually furthering a Republican agenda, because that’s what it amounts to.

Since former Clinton aides and Sanders aides have not read the FUCKING MEMO, I’m reblogging this again

WE ARE NOT GONNA SNIPE EACH OTHER. WE AREN’T GOING DOWN BY FRIENDLY FIRE AGAIN.

FIGHT FOR YOUR ISSUES OR GTFO

Whoever wins the democratic primaries gets my vote. We CANNOT go through this again.

Nintendo’s official website has a poll of who you would like to give a valentine to and Waluigi is winning by a huge margin

where’s the link op

right there

lol

Watch the video of this 3D rendering young girl

australia, 46 canada, 54. india, 103.

what the fuck dude.

SIGNAL BOOST! This is too awesome not to reblog!

GOOD!

This is like to catch a predator, but like gone super saiyan

MY GOD!!!! SVU….

So isn’t reblogging this just warning pedos?

Yeah, kinda. So they won’t ‘BE’ pedos anymore, in a sense.

Hey, if this post gets pedophiles nervous and decreases their demand for child porn, I don’t see this as a bad thing. Less demand means fewer children get trafficked in the first place.

POUR ONE OUT FOR COMRADE OPPORTUNITY 

and send a thank you postcard to the Opportunity team for all their hard work!

~Now, I think I’ve had enough Of being the loser, the geek, or whatever~

Things you didn’t know about Mulan (adapated from Oh My Disney)

I’m not done being emotionally compromised by Samwise Gamgee in that scene in Shelob’s lair. He absolutely knows what the Ring has done to Frodo, mentally and spiritually - the thing that finally convinces him that Frodo must be dead is the fact that he doesn’t react to having the Ring taken from him. At some level, Sam knows that nothing but death could separate Frodo and the Ring now; that as long as Frodo lives he can’t willingly give it up. 

And that’s a truth that neither of them can possibly afford to articulate to themselves, because what happens when we reach the Fire.

 Oh no. 

Oh no.

So both of them know that Frodo cannot, while he lives, willingly give up the Ring. Unlike Sam, I think that Frodo, so to speak, knows that he knows this. He knows there’s no hope, but he goes on anyway. 

Sam knows it, but he has hope. Frodo is good, Frodo has him, Sam, to help him, something will happen to work everything out. 

But even as early as the passage of the Marshes, Frodo says: “If the One goes into the Fire, and we are at hand? I ask you, Sam, are we ever likely to need bread again?” Look at that, look how depersonalized the language is: Frodo can’t even speak about casting the One into the Fire. 

He knows he’s going to die. 

He knows that’s the best-case scenario.

op was a terf so i’m stealing this post:

In honor of Britney Spears’ birthday (December 2), I want to remind everyone that this woman was publically ostracized for struggling with the onset of mental illness, divorce, and losing custody of her children after years of media scrutiny and hypersexualization starting at the age of 17. No, she is not just a crazy woman who shaved her head. She’s the victim of an industry that loves to build a woman up before tearing her down.

I’m wheezing -

NO NAKED ANKLES, even you Seb

Now this is interesting

Article: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/a3mjxg/apple-tumblr-porn-nsfw-adult-content-banned

YES!! I LIKE THIS TAKE!!

Basically, because I know Mobile is bad with links, the article points out hat the broad, “sfw only, no titties allowed” wave on the internet in recent years is largely due to Apple’s absolute stranglehold on the App Store. Apple has strict guidelines about NSFW content that choke creators right out of mainstream social media, even on sites like Reddit, for users of their products: 

remember though that this anger isn’t about Being Horny On Main, it’s about sex workers, their platforms and followers, NSFW creators and their art, and adult content communities that are continually being shoved out of spaces they created in recent years: 

it was mentioned before somewhere else, but 20% of Tumblr’s traffic is brought in by content they’re now flagging as “adult” 

and of course, Apple is also one of the companies that has repeatedly come under fire for censoring lgbtq/queer identities on their sites, the app store, and also caved to russia’s anti-lgbtq policies like a stick of rotten bamboo

“OH RIGHT HE WAS A WRESTLER”

invader zim filmed this

Y’all these are the actors who are in the Spongebob Squarepants broadway musical that Plankton trying to knock down Spongebob

that context makes is 10000X funnier

behold my son being perfect and pure and also terrifyingly strong

this husky is mad because he wants to take a bath but isn’t allowed to

let my poor baby take his bath

If y'all really knew. If y'all really knew what utter drama queens huskies are this wouldn’t surprise you at all.

This is my life.

Literally my husky is the same way. He’s only a few months and he’ll cry to go back outside after being in the house two seconds.

I once ran out of my house in my pajamas at 2 in the fucking morning because I heard a dog screaming like it had been hit by a car. As I’m pelting towards the road barefoot I see an open garage with two people standing there and a husky in the back of a truck. I slowed down and asked them if that noise had been their dog.

Heavily embarrassed they admitted that it was. The reason for the godawful tortured sound the dog had made?

“We took his running harness off.”

And that was the moment I vowed to never own a husky.

I frequently pet sit for a friend’s husky, who is completely normal and unremarkable for her kind with one crucial exception.

She is dumb as soup.

(You didn’t hear that from me: her owner thinks she’s a genius, bless him.)

Anyway, my dog Tribble thinks Arya the husky is one of her very own adopted babies, so she stays with us fairly often. Reasons I have heard this dog dissolve into a screaming, wailing meltdown include:

She’s a very good dog, and she’s a sweet dog who is never offended by anything, but the screaming has singlehandedly ensued I will never, ever, ever own a husky. I like having functioning ears too much.

To be fair, you and your friend may both be right: huskies, like border-collies, are just intelligent enough to develop Exciting Cognitive Neuroses, much like a toddler, which frankly dumber dogs will skip because they don’t actually have quite enough extra cognitive space to think up ways to be utterly fucking ridiculous. 

I kind of suspect this is going on here in part because of the dog being so very specifically upset that the one cat won’t be friends, despite all the other cats being friends, and also the overcome-with-joy bits: you’ll notice they’re very similar to what makes toddlers randomly cry for no reason. 

Where a bulldog doesn’t care about the difference between laminate and hardwood, a husky is just smart enough to get VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THESE ARE SUBTLY DIFFERENT AND POSSIBLY IT MEANS THAT GETTING DOWN WILL BE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE AAAAAUGH! and get hysterically anxious about it. 

“Smarter”, in animals as in humans, does not actually always mean “more sensible.” XD 

I was feeling very lonely this evening and now I’m laughing down to my belly so thank you for this post

So, to clarify what’s going to happen, here’s a handy checklist:

What will happen

What will not happen

if anyone asks me where my sense of humor comes from im just gonna show them the 90s sailor moon dub

lmfao clicking the “learn more” if your post is flagged leads to NOTHING

good job!! great

just thinkin on this purge and.. dammit this site can be hell but i dont wanna go, one of the main reasons i love tumblr so much is how much privacy it allows me like shit, i can choose when people can see if im online i can choose whether or not people see my likes, no one has to see exactly what blogs i follow, i fucking love that. twitters just too open for me and deviantarts just plain shit, not to mention the fact that interacting with people and finding what i like on here is SO EASY??? for someone who just wants to be able to hide in my own little corner of the internet unseen this place has really become a comfort

Like. I’m a firm believer that porn online shouldn’t be within kids reach (those “are you 18” checkboxes for life) but. Like. Ok first of all, just ban cp? It’s not hard? Cp is what got you into this mess just ban it. Second of all, you could increase the age of sign-up from 13 to 18. Third of all, you could do what deviantart does and just. Require birthdays at sign-up. If your blog is flagged as nsfw, you can’t interact with minors. You want to follow an nsfw blog? Prove you’re an adult. You’re an adult but don’t want to see nsfw content? Safe search (that actually works).

It’s not hard to make a functioning website, but staff doesn’t seem to want to do that.

okay y’all real talk

what social media platform are we all collectively moving to

hell

great!!!! see you there my dude
