a falling star fell from your heart 🌠

Had a dream last night that i was a knight and this bigger scarier knight had me on the ground and right before he swung his sword at my neck he said smth like "i mourn the loss of life for the tree who will become your coffin" which shouldnt of turned me on like it did but alas

Bat’s kiddos :]

"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, there will be a tree outside your bedroom window. It is very important to romanticize this tree as much as possible.

It's so nice being on tumblr because you don't even have to make your own post but people would still follow you anyways if you're good at rebloging posts they like

girl shocked to discover that inaction can have consequences too

reminder that if you ever meet a sweet, morally good, chivalrous knight: it's your most sincere obligation to corrupt them. "but my vows," this, "this is against the rules," that. if you haven't completely fucked up their entire code of conduct and destroyed all ability to discern right from wrong without you being the one to tell them by the time you're done with them, then you need to up your game. inside that pretty, rule-following chained dog of a knight is someone yearning to be set free of their self-imposed shackles, and it's your duty to help them get there.

Why else would they allow themselves to be shackled, unless they believed they needed to be controlled, that something inside them was already rotten and dangerous? All you have to do is convince them to hand over the end of their lead.

jack of all trades, master also of all those trades. no prablem 👌

Twenty years ago, February 15th, 2004, I got married for the first time.

It was twenty years earlier than I ever expected to.

To celebrate/comemorate the date, I'm sitting down to write out everything I remember as I remember it. No checking all the pictures I took or all the times I've written about this before. I'm not going to turn to my husband (of twenty years, how the f'ing hell) to remember a detail for me.

This is not a 100% accurate recounting of that first wild weekend in San Francisco. But it -is- a 100% accurate recounting of how I remember it today, twenty years after the fact.

Join me below, if you would.

And not find out. I cannot stress enough how much I do not want to find out.

“This thing is legally dubious and therefore technically unenforceable.” Is not a “useless liberal gotcha” it’s how legalism works in this country. Tying up stupidly worded EOs in court is the quickest way to keep them from being implemented. It is the definition of “doing something.” But it doesn’t usually involve much tweeting so of course a certain type of leftist feels obligated to mock it.

#challenging an EO in court keeps it from being implemented for a very long time and that’s a good thing#not only does it *not get implemented* for usually at least a year as it gets appealed over and over again#it also distracts conservative resources from going full steam ahead because they have to dedicate resources to defending their bullshit in#and the dumber their bullshit is the longer it takes to defend and the less they can get done#this is materially good so yes saying ‘this EO is poorly worded and can be interpreted to mean that all people are now female’#is a valid point to make

op's tags were worth preserving

I get that it’s not exciting or theatrical but lawyers holding up pieces of paper and saying “umm you can’t do that?” Is genuinely how several major civil rights victories were achieved.

Lawyers Holding Papers and Saying “Um You Can’t Do That” is, in essence, the intended design of our system of checks and balances and our largest check on Executive Power as civilians.

Also, lawyers holding up papers and saying "Um you can't do that" isn't the last line of defence. It's one of the earlier lines of defence. Because if that stops working, then you need to fall back to violence. And when you're fighting fascism with violence, the end result is usually that a massive amount of people die, namely from the most vulnerable populations, and if that succeeds in stopping the fascist government, then the whole mess is followed by years of suffering as a completely ruined society struggles to rebuild itself.

The goal is to stop fascism WITHOUT killing several hundred million people. Very concerned that people need that explained to them.

I love all books but sometimes you read a book and you’re like so were all 21 thousand of you blindfolded and at gun point when you rated it 5 stars
