The Brood

i love when fic writers who have clearly never tried any kind of alcohol in their lives try to write someone drinking bc they're always like

"he ordered a tall glass of hard liquor. after three large glasses he was feeling tipsy" like babygirl i can't be sure but i think u just sent this man to the hospital

"the amber liquid tasted sweet" bestie i can assure you it did not

?????? rich people are losing it

to be clear, yes i would also do some of this if i had the money. im experiencing blinding envy over the dr pepper mirror dimension.

Strongly recommend calling your reps and freaking out on the phone, both as a self care practice and so they can know that their normally chill constituents are saying things like “I guess if I can’t teach kindergarten teachers to be nicer anymore I shall have to become a bonus army”

A helpful reminder that your average Republican politician still quakes with fear when large numbers of people start asking things like “where’s my/my mom/my grandma’s social security and what are you doing to protect it?” It would be genuinely less scary for you to threaten them with violence than to politely state that you are concerned that your Korea War Veteran grandpa might not get his social security on time.

“Hi, I’m calling on behalf of a extremely sympathetic and socially conservative demographic that always votes, doesn’t have a day job and that cops cannot shoot to see if you are going to prevent them from having groceries. Thanks and have great day!” It’s like firebombing their office but totally legal and can be done from bed.

In response to this nonsense, my 70 year old mother told John Moolenaar (MI-2) or his office staff, “I want you to know that if my or my husbands social security check is ever even five minutes late, you will hear from me. You will hear from me so loudly and so often that you’ll want to get my phone number tattooed on the inside of you eyelids!”

Does that make sense? No. Do I have any idea what she’s talking about? No. But it’s very gruesome yet entirely non-violent threat so the vibe is right. Maybe we could make this phrase a thing? Try it out with https://5calls.org . See how it feels to say, “you’re going to wish you had my phone number tattooed inside your eyeballs, Mike Johnson.” Maybe it can be a thing.

These are cowards. We can torment them relentlessly for the next 19 months then beat them. It’s going to be so great. They’re going to wish they had our phone numbers tattooed inside their eyeballs for some reason, maybe just because they are freaks.

—I promise you these calls are not scary. You’re talking to staffers obligated to take down what you say. At its most basic,:

Hi, I’m (name) & I’m a constituent in (zip code) & …(this is where you tell them 1-2 issues you are concerned about or want action on; be demanding but don’t be a jerk to staffers)

🗽politicians work for We the People, remind them of that fact! Get involved with your local chapter of Indivisible, and learn more on how to fight back.

—the rule of thumb is 1 call on 1-2 issues/ per day or week, until the demand is met; routinize being civically engaged like you do your hygiene

—also know that conservatives out-call on most issues 6-1! Your calls truly matter!

—a follow-up email is great

📣 If you can’t get through the DC number, call district offices.

📣State Governors & AGs need to hear from you, too! Litigate this lawlessness now!

🗽Send an email or use Resistbot (text Resist to 504-09), if you calling is not within your capacity.

🗽 5Calls.org has scripts and is a great resource!

new oc ive been rotating in my head for a couple days... ill call her fishgirl untill i come up with something better

[Image ID: Tweet from Jason Read (@/ Unemployedneg) on 12/2/22 reading: Sick days being a perk like health insurance being a benefit just underscores the fact that under capitalism you are a worker first and a living human being second. /End ID]

Labor just announced a great policy! Making price gouging illegal! They've adopted the Greens policy and are promising to go after the Coles/Woolworths duopoly to make groceries cheaper. Excellent!

Naturally, the Coalition is critical of this. The Coalition also voted against it when Labor made wage theft illegal, so you can really tell that the Coalition just hates anything that'll help poor people instead of giant corporations.

hey in case you didn't know trans inclusive terminology in healthcare is not about protecting peoples feelings, it's to stop insurance companies from going "well it says here that hysterectomies are a procedure performed on WOMEN and you keep insisting that you're a MAN so we do not in fact have to cover that have a nice day and eat shit"

GIRLIES WHATTTTTTTTTTTT!

I bet if a mushroom could lap water out of your hand with a tongue that a gently drinking mushroom tongue on your hand would be the softest and gentlest thing.

jesus christ, i experienced brief but severe grief over not actually being able to experience this.

I think it would feel like a lizard tongue but I've never had a lizard drink out of my hand either, and thus the whole thing remains conceptually elusive.

this put such a vivid image in my head i needed to make it real as soon as i got home

if you are doing any kind of design meant to reach large numbers of people, download a colorblindness filter (i use CVSimulator, its pretty simple and free) and use it religiously
