this is America.

a zombie state that doesn’t realize it’s already dead.

and nobody is willing to do what must be done to stop it.

… I’m so … Incredibly grateful. For what you said.

I bookmarked this, and I’ve been coming back to it day after day

I can’t tell you how much it means to me, how validating it is, to know that I’m not alone

I don’t care what it says, you’re totally Jessica to me X3

The Democrat aristocracy do not care about winning.

They only care about marketing the disaster of their losses so that they can launder billions of dollars in “vote blue” spam campaigns.

All those donations are going somewhere - to “consultancy firms”. To “ad agencies”. And then they get to enjoy kickbacks from this mutual relationship.

THEY DON’T NEED TO WIN TO RAKE IN BILLIONS.

and so they don’t even try.

perhaps the only ethical consumption under capitalism is that which denies capitalists their profit.

A man named Luigi Mangione stood up and did something about it.

And the powers that be are working tirelessly to destroy him without making it so obvious that it riles the rest of us up.

civility is a luxury a society has no right to afford when it’s MURDERING CHILDREN EN MASSE.

More hapless invaders into the meat grinder.

More blood to quench the rich soils of ukraine.

The sunflowers might bloom orange if they keep this up.

… personally, i wish aliens would show up and be like, “bruh.” to save a sapient biosphere from extinction.

But I don’t actually believe it’ll be that.

Probably more likely a total systemic collapse of the United States of America due to its critical infrastructure crumbling past a point where its economics can adapt resulting in a stock market crash that wipes out entire industries. Then a cascade failure of all the nations that were still relying upon them to remain functional that crashes just about every OTHER economy across the entire planet (though potentially not china maybe) and leaves almost the whole population of our entire species to fend for ourselves.

After the initial riots disable urban centers and local peacekeeping forces fail to quell them, the bureaucrats wholly owned by corporate sponsors will go full mask-off and call in private security contractor shock troops to exterminate the uppity peasantry and brutalize any survivors back into submissive complicity. Anyone who didn’t fight will be targeted for detainment via guilt by association. Personal property will be seized “for peacekeeping purposes” and anyone who isn’t working for the corporations or mounting a strong enough resistance will be captured and concentrated in forced labor camps.

Billions of us will die, possibly even more than half of our entire species, whether from lack of critical support systems (lack of food, potable water, medical care, and/or shelter that can protect them from extreme temperature), by exploitation of warlords rising to fill local power vacuums (including corporate-owned city-state enclaves), or in conflict between corporate enclaves and said warlords, all exacerbated by hotter and longer heat waves and droughts, deeper and sharper cold snaps, HARSHER storms, BIGGER fires, MORE floods, rising sea levels, and no organized reconstruction efforts.

There may or may not be a few madmen who decide to pull the doomsday triggers and kick off a global thermonuclear exchange out of impotent rage that despite all their destructive power they’re still about to lose everything and are lashing out in hopeless desperation.

2036 heralds the watershed moment that people realize we’ve entered the new dark age. There is nothing we can do to stop it, but if you start right now, you might prepare yourself and your local community to mitigate the hardship… even if only temporarily.

‘dig’ is, after all, literally in your name :3

Please for fucks sake Canada, annex New England and the New York City Metro area as war reparations when this shit is over. We’re economically productive!!

A beret and a cravat!

A fedora for the necktie like a 1950s hard boiled detective!

A pointy wizard hat and a robe!

With THAT hat? Definitely a bowtie. It’s a verticality balance thing. The hat is vertical so the tie should be horizontal. Now, if the duck had a WIDE hat, THEN you go for the long tie.

preface: i acknowledge that you are correct. However, I still want to meme. So,

cool motive

still sending their troops into a nation that is fighting for independence from a complete whole-ass other nation’s foreign occupation

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

look it’s just got a really nice-feeling sliding latch mechanism…

so this takes place in 2073, and says it’s “37 years after The Event”

… 2036.

This is sending chills up my spine because this is the year me and my friends “joke” about “THE BIG ONE” happening. The big what exactly? Could be anything; whatever it is, the big mood is surrounding that SPECIFIC year. It’s been an in-group memetic reference in my circle for decades now. I think I first made an offhand remark about 2036 being when “it” happens all the way back in like 2003 or something

it’s probably just a coincidence.

…probably.

but damn what a coincidence.

it’s crazy watching north korea attempting to do for russia in ukraine what america attempted to do for france in vietnam.

just utterly myopic.

😳😢😭🫂😔😌

exactly D: how the fuck is this even possible that i can root so hard for the people i love, assist them with transportation, research for paperwork, covering expenses, but when it crosses my mind that i find myself wishing that i could do for myself what i do for them … i feel guilty??? what the fuck…

i feel like i’m out of line just writing this, questioning if what i’m feeling is legitimate even as my eyes are literally filling with tears as i type

Bearing in mind that objectification is wrong, clearly it’s a shitty to lump human beings into categories.

But everybody’s got a type.

And I’ll admit, if someone I fell in love with turned out to be a tomboy, or industrious, or serious and clever, as contradictory as it sounds… I’d SO fucking vibe.

i’ve found cracks recently

cracks very similar to these

a hefty dose of imposter syndrome, of how fucking DARE i cheapen the trans struggle i root for so many people through by even considering that i might be worthy of it. I can’t be a girl! That would be so HARD and I am SO LAZY! Surely I’m just making it up, and if I ignore it, it’ll go away, right?

…right?

and i worry that if i actually try to talk to my friends about it–EVEN the ones whom are trans themselves!!–they will try to “supportively” reassure me that i am cis

and the thought of that … the thought of hearing them say that … nauseates me.

…possibly almost more than the implications of my life being turned upside down. Or rather, acknowledging that it may in fact have been upside down all along and having to face the grueling, excruciating hardship of what it’d take to turn it right-side-up for the first time in my existence ._.
