Luigi is charged with TERRORISM. Get the living fuck out of here. Fuck you. This is America - a CEO matters - regular people, SCHOOL CHILDREN do not. FOH.
Fuck this POS country. Hard.
Sherlock isn’t even Sherlock to me. When I say Sherlock I am talking about Elementary (2012-2019)
Hot take but I really do think that some of y’all need to consider how/why/when/how often you’re making fun of straight people for being straight
I do it too, I’m not going to pretend I don’t make jokes about the hets, or the down with cis bus, or whatever
But I recently befriended a cis, straight dude and I have watched him be dismissed, degraded, and unambiguously insulted for the perceived “crime” of being straight — all in queer environments where he is allegedly “completely welcome” and surrounded by “friends”
This guy is not a toxic person! But I have seen him be made to feel so small and like his comfort and safety in those spaces are conditional on his silence and acceptance of being treated like a human dunk zone, and I think that some of y’all have had so much shit from straight/cis people that the second you feel like you’ve got an inch, you want to luxuriate in the perceived catharsis of bullying someone who— actually —doesn’t deserve it
And until he very, very carefully mentioned to me in private that it makes him feel bad, I didn’t even clock that I was involved in doing that, that it had become so instinctive for me to make casual jokes like that, and that— well meaning or otherwise —I had been contributing to an environment that made someone I really really like feel like shit
So, I dunno, I think maybe some of y’all should think about that too

To put into perspective my feelings on the United Healthcare CEO story, I'm gonna tell you a super fun story.
Around six years ago I was dying of organ failure.
Like, full on organs-shutting-down-couldn't-eat-anything-for-weeks-could-hardly-function organ failure. I had surgery scheduled to help reverse some of this. Hope was on the horizon. I was going to live. I was going to be okay. I just needed to get to my surgery date.
And then the day before that surgery I got a call.
"We've been fighting with your insurance company for weeks," said the lady on phone. "They keep telling us your procedure isn't 'medically necessary'. Dr. [Surgeon] screamed at them for a half an hour yesterday...but they still refuse to cover it."
I was given a choice during that conversation: go ahead with the surgery anyway and be on the hook for tens of thousands of dollars...or don't get the surgery...and almost certainly die.
I'm sure you can guess which one I chose.
I'm sure you can also guess what the name of my insurance company was at the time.
*deeply tired sigh*
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to enjoy writing this a lot, but it will be a slog.
Conservatives cosplaying as Christians when faced with someone who actually follows the teachings of Jesus Christ:
The connection between domestic violence, white terror, paternalism, and MAGA is obvious.
Sex traffickers and sexual abusers, too. It's white there!
Potential abuse/killing child or wife is patriarchal bonus!
Electing a felon and rapist who empties the prisons of the the most violent people on Day One is white supremacy in action.
No law, no order. Criminals and terrorists, both individual and organized, have an ally in Trump.
people are always like "Oh a vampire wouldn't get horny while drinking someone's blood, that's like getting horny while eating a sandwich" and like man have you never had a really good fucking sandwich?
Same on AO3. I try to publish something, either a new chapter or work, twice a month.
