John Oliver is what liberals imagine Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert to be — a genuine critic of America’s systemic failures who stands up for trans people and other marginalized groups, while actually offering real actions and hopeful solutions.

I really need people who call Biden genocide Joe to understand that the deal that Trump just made was Biden‘s deal. But Trump and BB worked together so that Bebe wouldn’t agree to it under Biden.

I don’t think we’re talking enough about the fact that we successfully took back the frog. Like it has been a meme for the alt right for years now, and thanks to these Portland inflatable costumes, we’re taking it back

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

You’re allowed to identify as disabled, even if you think “others have it worse”.

It’s not something that’s only gatekept by the “most severe”.
Disability is a varied, diverse spectrum.

If your condition(s) affect your life, if they disable you… you are valid.

Are you in a state with a major election this year (CA, ME, NJ, PA, VA etc) and you’re sick of getting calls and texts from volunteers asking you to vote?

Well, I have a solution.

Just vote.

As in, you are still on a list of people who haven’t voted.

Snack snatcher from my collection, 1963. The back reads “Fluffel, the well fed cat. In our trailer in Cozy Trailer Park, Edison, NJ (he is 6 mo. old).”

Black and white photo of a shorthaired white and tabby cat standing on a seat with its front paws on a dining table, leaning forward as if about to snatch a bit of sandwich on a plate in front of it on the table.

oomf brought this up but I rly think it’s worth repeating that prescriptivist ideas of what does or does not constitute Proper Fantasy Language are often informed by trying to set old cishet white man fantasy as the standard and as other oomf said often not informed by actual history, much like race

I think a lot of people don't know this Zoom feature exists: under "React" there's a "Be Right Back" button that mutes your audio, turns off your camera, and puts a label on your square. And then when you come back you just click the "Back" button.

Can we please stop saying those in charge are "mentally ill"?

They are evil, cruel, and vindictive. They know what they're doing is hurting people and don't care.

That's not mentally ill. That's greed and power.
