Wait how did this tumblr get here...

35, cis, she/her pronouns, bi/pan. I blame Misha Collins and GISHWHES 2012 for this blog existing. Multi-fandom, trash memes and SJW stuff and I tag (pretty much) nothing. Almost no NSFW, but what little there is tends to be tagged. But if you want me to tag something so you don't see it, just tell me.

For those of you that may have just finished watching Cory Bookerโ€™s record-breaking senate speech and are inspired to โ€œget in good troubleโ€, you have a great opportunity for it this Saturday!

On April 5th, numerous advocacy groups are banding together into one nation-wide rally that will be held in major cities all over the country - you can easily find a participating location here!

Iโ€™ll be volunteering as a safety captain at my own local rally, and I encourage all of you to go out there too and get in some good trouble as well!

for the record when I say a lot of major cities I mean a LOT of major cities :P

Cory Booker fasted and stood all day and all night and spoke till his voice nearly gave out for his constituents. And Republicans can't even show up to town halls. The contrast could not be starker. Let Senator Booker be an inspiration to us all. "The power of the people is greater than the people in power."

Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now

Heโ€™s not filibustering. Heโ€™s protesting the current administration.

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didnโ€™t pay attention in government class, in the US senate thereโ€™s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they donโ€™t want a bill to pass they just. Donโ€™t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isnโ€™t doing that. Heโ€™s disrupting โ€œthe normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically ableโ€. Just in protest. This doesnโ€™t usually happen.

Heโ€™s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor

Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmondโ€™s record for longest speech on the senate floor and heโ€™s still going

For those of you wondering what heโ€™s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. Heโ€™s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for โ€œquestionsโ€ but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that heโ€™s been missing while heโ€™s been talking.

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like theyโ€™re going to bug out of his skull so I donโ€™t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

why are time loops always only like 1 day long?

the real horror is a months or years long time loop. no speedrunning your torture here. you have to sit with the consequences of your actions for a loooong time before the release of knowing the consequences and actions have been erased.

but oh, all the actions and consequences are gone. those relationships you built? empty. you can never build them again without the constant guilt of knowing that it's not as real the second, third, thirtieth time when you already know all their secrets and they none of yours.

but you can't hide. you can't isolate yourself because what if this is the time the loop breaks and then what? years gone by of missed chances with people who have changed you a thousand times and now circumstances have changed. you can never build back what was washed away by your own inaction. they'll never be able to meet you like they did the first time if you don't choose to meet them the first time every time

Official Time Loop Post

You can never have the same child twice. How many loops does it take a grieving time traveller to accept that.

...well, fine, you people can rock me to sleep tonight.

This is my first Perpetua's fanart (finished it before the one posted yesterday), a reproduction of a photo, like I used to do in the early days of this account. To add to the atmosphere I've added some glowing smoke.
