Cortis0l, millennial.
personal blog created so I could shit post about politics, life, and whatever else I feel like chatting about.
I'm usually found annoying people in an extremely small and niche anime fandom.
I love dogs.
I actually like humans too. In small doses.
I'm kinda dense, but I try to be kind.
Don't. At least not physically.
Instead, fight them by being the opposite of them.
When they spread hate, spread kindness.
When they try and divide, include.
When they speak lies and rumours, learn facts and truths.
When they act with anger and rage, stay peaceful and content.
When they show their ignorance, educate yourself.
Is this easy? Nope.
Will it change MAGA? Highly doubtful.
What it will do, is show others' that there is hope, that there is good, and it will be a reminder to keep on going, keep on trying, DO NOT GIVE UP.
Getting uncontrollably angry, feeling despair, being less-than-kind (even to those that may not deserve it 😬), won't make you feel better, and likely won't help in the long run.
DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE DRAGGED DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL.

Hi! Trump supporter here.
I don’t tell people they’re racist/sexist/homophobic/ableist/prejudice by virtue of being born “wrong”; so I would not call myself hateful.
I do not encourage the exclusion of white people, straight people, or men from what should be communal spaces; so I do not believe I am divisive.
I try to say only what I know to be true. For example: Not all illegal immigrant are dangerous criminals, but some are. Not all people who transition regret it, but some do. Not all males using female private spaces are perverts, but some are.
I am a very peaceful and contented person. I do not scream at strangers in the streets. I do not protest opinions I disagree with. I do not wish harm on strangers.
I am constantly educating myself. Everyone should.
And finally: as an elementary school librarian, I totally agree with supporting libraries.
i am pleasantly shocked that this was reblogged by a Trump supporter - hi trump supporter!
I have a lot of questions for you, and judging entirely by your post, you seem like someone who may be open to dialogue. Would I be correct on this?
I guess my primary question is why would you still support someone who is the personification of everything you say you are not?
Bonus question: as a Trump supporter and a librarian (btw, librarians are my heroes), how do you feel about the increase in book bans by organisations such as Moms For Liberty (who are supported by Trump and other republicans)?
Thanks 👍

These men just stole the personal information of everyone in America AND control the Treasury. Link to article.
Spread their names!
how we all doing today? You good, Well... Surviving? GREAT, CONTINUE DOING THAT!
Saw this and it made me smile:
Something that helps me not feel so fucking angry is remembering that nobody is immune to propaganda.
It's a bit like how they say that forgiveness is really for the victim's sake rather than the perpetrator.
Reminding myself that many people are really, really, really, really, really, really fucking stupid rather than evil let's me get a bit of balance back.
Look after yourself, and support your library!
It's more important now than ever before to HAVE FUN AND ENJOY LIFE when you can.
Today is Saturday - stop looking at the news and go and write some JJK headcanons or like some fanart or whatever you guys do on Tumblr.
message your friend.
eat a really amazing snack.
listen to music.
Have a good day!
Writing this because I am tired of trying to sit still with my eyes closed and not think IT DOESNT WORK FOR ME.
But I have found the following to be e f f e c t i v e ~
MAGA fantasy land billionaires:
Billionaires in real life:
I guess No Face is realistically like a billionaire; uses the promise of wealth and then eats the people lol. But it feels like libel slander to taint No Face's name by associating him with Musk and the like.
🌟MORE STUFF THAT MAY HELP SOMEONE🌟
•If you want to go foraging, make sure you use a book/guide that has hand drawn illustrations that have been done by an actual human. DO NOT USE PHOTOGRAPHS. If it's drawn by hand, it ensures that everything that is in that picture is MEANT to be there. And if in doubt, don't bloody eat it!
•Journaling your thoughts and worries on paper is good for you, accessible, cheap, and can't be hacked or flagged. Just saying.
•Now is the time to do everything you can to look after your health - physical, mental, spiritual.
•Keep up to date with what's going on, but set a limit. 10minutes to check what fuckery has happened, then go and laugh at some memes or hang out with your dog.
•Speaking of dogs, do you have a dog? Has your dog been acting STRANGE lately (and it's not because they're a Husky or they're unwell?) It could be that they're picking up on your stress. If you've had a particularly bad day, when you get home treat yourself to a shower and wash the stress stink off you. Your dog will thank you (and it'll make you feel better too).
•SPEAKING OF DOGS AGAIN: Honey is awesome for small cuts and grazes (it's antiseptic, forms a barrier, and won't kill them if they lick it, which they will). Tick tweezers are handy. Hibiscrub (a soap used by surgeons to clean their hands/surgery site) is great to have for you and your mutt. You can use it neat (it'll sting) or diluted on minor cuts or grazes. Old baby socks can be used for poorly paws. *PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR VET BEFORE USING HONEY (diabetic dog?) OR HIBISCRUB - I really don't want to make anyones dog sick by trying to help - SO PLEASE CHECK BEFORE YOU LISTEN TO SOME IDIOT ON TUMBLR
•If you need help, ask. Someone will be able to help you.
•Continue to do things you enjoy. Go and play a game/draw/build with Lego etc.
•Know that you're not on your own. You have millions of allies across the globe who have your back.
•Do not give up, do not give up, do not give up. You're important, the world needs you, and you're tougher than you think. You can get through this.
Bonus: USE YOUR LIBRARIES! THEY'RE AMAZING!
*DISCLAIMER JUST IN CASE IT WAS MISSED* always check with your vet prior to trying anything new on your dog!!
If deportation forces aren’t currently swarming your streets that much but might soon be doing more of this (looking at Europe here), consider practicing on cops and public transport checks. How long can you keep a cop busy by arguing about minor things? That’s time he can’t spend harassing homeless people. How long can you try to find the ‘lost ticket’ that was in your pocket all along? If it’s enough to get to the train or bus to the next stop, it’ll allow those without tickets to make an escape and avoid a fine.
Doing this a lot will make you much better at it and will put a little good into the world on a daily basis.
Anyway
My favourite way of learning news.
Oh my god, it's more unpaid Twitter rent. Twitter's London headquarters are on Crown Estate land, they're the landlord.
Given that Prince Charles is still trying desperately to make us like him and has started putting a lot of publicly-known-about Crown Estate profits into the public purse, I wonder if the same would happen here if we all... made a fuss? Turned this into a public case? Made it clear this one is perfect for His Maj's please-stop-hating-me personal campaign?
Could the struggling poor of Britain going through a cost of living crisis take Elon Musk's money, is what I'm saying
