🌈🍡🍭🍬🩷🍫 Kandi, bright and full of so much life ⭐️🍧🎨

I forgot how tumblr worked and i got really scared one of my moots unfollowed me but they just responded using a sideblog so it showed i was following instead of mutuals and it scared me so bad because i do live in a semi constant fear of being bad at tumblr and having bad opinons which is why i dont have opinions out loud lest i be burnt at the stake

Back in 2015-17 I developed a stress response whenever I heard the tumblr ping. It got to the point where I was over explaining my thoughts before I even got to the point I wanted to make. Tumblr is the best at people loving to have the worst possible interpretation of what you said.

I’ve taken a chill pill and stay far away from people that I see constantly having those bad takes and block liberally.

I’m sorry tumblr has reading comprehension issues. :(

Hey, give yourself the credit that you can write a better ending than Stranger Things.

happy anniversary to the great molasses flood

^^^ This. The COMBINED population of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul) is only about 2.6 million. That's not small town numbers, sure, but compared to NYC (20.1 million in the metropolitan area)? LA? (12.9 million "")?

Minneapolis is being made an example of because they're the most bitesized target, and if you're doing a shock and awe campaign like this you need to not choke on national tv.

(And they're still having to fight for it. Minneapolis isn't taking this laying down, and more power to them for their courage.)

I would not be surprised if it's also intended as symbolic retaliation against Tim Walz for being VP candidate against them. These folks get really hung up on individual personalities, in a way that's hard for non-authoritarians to wrap their head around

by the way guys, this deployment of ice to minnesota is largest ever. more agents than chicago. we are a much less dense state. we are being inundated.

It is the largest Department of Homeland Security operation in history. And yet Minnesota’s Somali population (this operation’s primary target) is upwards of 90% naturalized American citizens. It’s even more of a manufactured crisis than most DHS operations. Genuinely living in Minnesota now feels like we’re a small country on the brink of invasion.

I saw two ICE trucks yesterday on my way to give my friends back their house keys from when I was looking after their cats. I got home today and I heard whistles and honking from people chasing ICE, but by the time I got Matilda in the house they were gone so I couldn't join in the chase. I know there was a major attempt to steal my neighbors from just a few blocks away this morning while I was at work.

It doesn't feel like we're on the brink of invasion. It feels like we're being newly occupied by an invading force. Except that the invading force doesn't just want our total submission; they also want to rip half our neighbors out of our arms. They came for Hmong Minnesotans next, and they are also more than 90% citizens. We have a lot of minority populations who settled here because Minnesota prides itself on welcoming refugees; both populations have been here for more than thirty years.

Fuck this shit. It is terrorism.

Not just feels like, is. Feels like because is.

And for all the rest of us US occupants not in Minnesota, it's coming to us, too. Ohio is getting door-to-door ICE today, for instance, and I've seen multiple friends in other states posting photos of big ol' trucks, beds packed with ICE vehicles, rolling in to town.

We're still not quite two weeks into 2026. Get ready to plant your feet.

ICE fucking abandoned the scene in a Minneapolis neighborhood and left their battle plans and designs on the city, fake license plates, and challenge tokens which they reward themselves for arrests. Looney Tunes shit.

"Demonstrators investigating the abandoned ICE vehicles apparently retrieved these “challenge coins” that ICE mercenaries receive when they kidnap people. This “coin” is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death."

hello whta the everloving fuck is this are ICE just cult members who believe themselves to be some kinda assassin creed shit?

It’s Nazi paraphernalia

yanno i hadnt thought of that honestly (was thinking mostly on the kkk and if maybe they had shit like that) but yeah it makes sense

Well you weren’t that far off with the Assassin’s Creed reference. Templars are essentially Fascists without the focus on ethnicity and do have similar tokens and symbols. So you weren’t that off.

hi can you name one transmasc congressman 👍

This is wild because restricting HRT for trans women, but keeping access for trans men has NEVER been a stated goal of people who advocate for trans men. However, multiple transphobic trans women have specifically advocated for more gatekeeping of HRT for trans men and mascs.

This is insane to me because transmasc hrt is already more heavily regulated than transfem hrt.

I fear a fresh wave of the plague

Update from twitter

i want to explain to people- the lower bit is accurate you probably pay way more in taxes/rent then a medieval peasants well as have less time off of work

You couldn’t publish this today.

You’d have to hide it under seven layers of metaphor.

the american government kills its citizens with impunity in broad daylight and then all the eurostralianadians are like "omg wtf is wrong with americans why do you just LET them do that" well they don't exactly ask our permission first do they

why didn't the students in tiananmen square just stop the tanks? maybe they were stupid?

Loving the defense of "But slavery makes things cheaper 🥺" as if everyone didn't already know that. As if the main reason to enslave people was for the love of the game.
