WHY

@weirddreamsandfish

Any pronouns

Detritus: I think dem rioters about done. Dem's all calling for a cab.

Littlebottom: They're chanting "ACAB", Detritus. It means "All Coppers Are Bastards"

Detritus: Heh. Well, they ain't wrong. I know I am, and Mister Vines would say he is.

Littlebottom: What about Carrot?

(thinking at Troll Speed)

Detritus: Well, ok. But then again... Nobby is bastard enough for two coppers.

Very precise Ahnk-Morporkian rioters: ACAOTAOBE!*

*All Coppers Average Out To Approximately One Bastard Each

Reblogged for truth. Though I do think Carrot has learned how to be a bastard by observation, as Angua observes in Jingo. Carrot knows just how to use it, an no more.

this is going to have me on my hands and knees dry heaving

what the FUCK man.

You know how some people talk about timeless themes in literature and you kind of low-key think they're full of shit? Sometimes they're not.

Voting did matter. Even the worst democrat or in all honesty the next worst republican was not going to do all this exact same crazy shit. Voting cannot fix a broken system but if the system asks you to weigh in on how much more broken it wants to get, you can tell it "no, not that far please" instead of effectively "I don't care, go hog fucking wild"

So please vote in the midterms, for the least evil options on the ballots, instead of telling them you just don't mind who they put in charge of whatever the hell they want.

To back up OP’s post, democrats have won the majority of recent state elections (NPR link), and closed the gap on the few they didn’t. Dems also are notorious for getting stuck having to fix shit and get locked in a constant uphill battle (why it feels like they don’t get a lot done). As for the arguments of “lol we won’t have midterms” or “even if we do win midterms it won’t work so what’s the point”… that’s a form of voter suppression and weak ass defeatism.

The federal government cannot interfere with state’s voting and board of elections, it is unconstitutional and was defended as recently as a few days ago Jan 9 2026 (Politico link). The arguments that it’s not worth it or won’t happen will get louder and worse because the far right know that they are losing power.

Keep track of your local and state elections, check your voter registration status and make sure it’s active and correct, and make a plan to vote. That means all seats from federal down to city council. I get how tired y’all are bc I’m right there with you, but I want to get out of this. If you do too, stop doomscrolling and start being strategic with your attention. Pay attention to your local election boards, start giving yourself grace to learn and grow, if you can get involved do, if you can’t just make sure to get out and vote. Remember voting is not a magic button and it’s going to take decades to fix what has been undone, so pace yourself accordingly.

WHY YOU VOTE (read above). Because bad can get worse and bad can GET BETTER.

A declassified World War II-era government guide to “simple sabotage” is currently one of the most popular open source books on the internet. The book, called “Simple Sabotage Field Manual,” was declassified in 2008 by the CIA and “describes ways to train normal people to be purposefully annoying telephone operators, dysfunctional train conductors, befuddling middle managers, blundering factory workers, unruly movie theater patrons, and so on. In other words, teaching people to do their jobs badly.”  Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

Gosh it would be a shame if this got even MORE visibility.

Whoops my cursor slipped.

"and remember guys, don't send rape or death threats! despite me clearly acknowledging your propensity to do so, i'm just compiling this list of blogs for normal harassment reasons, don't spoil the fun, only be cruel and hateful and obsessive in plausibly deniable ways!"

PLEASE READ THIS

This is one of the comics I drew about Rawan’s life to draw attention to her campaign.

Support for Rawan and her family has been almost non existent this past week. I truly understand the fatigue, but they’re still in need of help. Her brother is still bedridden after a missile strike. Rawan herself has seen a doctor and was diagnosed with a bacterial skin infection and is getting treatment. She now wants to focus on her upcoming university exams.

Unfortunately, the doctor visits, painkillers, ointments and antibiotics are expensive, and due to a resurgence of Covid19 in Gaza, Rawan also wants to buy facemasks for her family.

Please pitch in to support her if you can. Even $5 goes a long way and just sharing these posts helps a ton too 🙏

✅Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #347 )✅

After yesterday, it is IMPERATIVE that people vote to get this pedo regime out in November (along with other special elections) because after yesterday? I mean before but yesterday just seals the deal that the Republican Party is just a fascist death cult.

And to make things worse; that Ketamine addicted bitch from South Africa is shoving his nose where it doesn’t belong.

Remember the other two elections in Wisconsin and New York that he lost miserably? Let’s make the midterms a blue TSUNAMI because I’m sick of this annoying whiny bitch.

Seriously don’t forget THOUSANDS of people have died as a result of him gutting USAID. The richest man in the world taking from the most vulnerable.

And “Christians” love him.

If he ODed tomorrow; America would be so much better off.

"exercise will give you more energy" gets said a lot as a common piece of health advice but I think it needs to be expanded into "exercising will make you tired while you do it, and you will continue to be tired immediately afterwards, sometimes even the next day too, but over months of consistent exercise, your muscles will get stronger and therefore get less tired out by everyday activities, making you feel like day-to-day life takes less physical energy than it used to"

I feel deep compassion for my sister, Amal. @amlaml555

How can a mother’s heart deny her child a piece of candy, or stop him from sharing it with his peers?

How can she explain to her child that deprivation is not cruelty, but fear for his life?

My sister is forced to do this. Her child has diabetes you can read about his condition at the link here.

Sweets made specifically for people with diabetes are expensive and beyond her ability to afford, especially when her child also needs other essentials such as diapers and insulin treatment, which is not always available.

At the same time, she is barely managing to support her large family of nine under these harsh conditions, with no source of income.

Every day, she stands between two painful choices:

to protect her child’s health, or to secure the basic necessities of life for an entire family.

What heart can endure such a struggle?

I implore you to help her; she truly needs your donations and your support, my friends.

I hope my request hasn't bothered you.

i think the most upsetting thing about american-flavor puritanism is how fucking patronizing it is. it's 2026 but the whole world still has to deal with a cultural hegemony grown from the gnarled vestiges of victorian-era paternalism. tax-paying adults with passports and the right to vote are treated like wayward children because of the antiquated idea that authorities must protect the weak minds of the unwashed masses from depravity and corruption. the average american can send a fellow citizen to the chair, but they can't piss in a ditch without being declared an outlaw. american entertainment media is saturated with sex, but you can't talk about it online without getting your account suspended. it's such blatant censorship at a universal scale, but because sexual content is framed as inherently dangerous, this restriction on basic adult autonomy, this blanket denial of moral and intellectual adulthood, can be reframed as protection, an expression of care, a moral duty. "won't someone think of the children!" I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN!
