REMEMBER THAT EPISODE WHERE REESE THOUGHT MALCOLM WAS GAY AND MALCOLM THOUGHT REESE WAS GAY AND THEY TALKED ABOUT IT BUT LIKE THIS I’M CRYING

I know I’ve reblogged this and commented before- but my favorite part is that immediately after this, Malcolm is like “so anyway I got you these” and hands Reese some pamphlets about accepting yourself as queer that he got from the guidance counselor, and Reese is like “oh, I got you these” and hands him a grocery bag full of gay porn.

This is the worst Eid I have ever experienced in my entire life. I lost all my friends in the war and I am left alone here suffering from the pain of loss. I used to go and visit my friends, but today I went to their homes and found their mothers collapsing from crying and grieving over the loss of their sons. We used to meet and go out and spend a pleasant time together, but unfortunately today I went and visited them in the cemetery and sat next to them all day crying from the intensity of my pain and regret. How difficult this feeling is for me and I cannot bear it!!! 😭

this moment from work has lasted in my head for months and i think its finally time to draw it out

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

He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.

He’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 Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going

For those of you wondering what he’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. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” 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 he’s been missing while he’s been talking.

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

Almost exactly an hour later he was live on air interviewing with Rachel Maddow on msnbc. He had a chair, finally, tho.

As far as they said, even when they did Questions he didn't get to sit, just rest his voice. No bathroom breaks. No sitting.

Apparently the infamous Strom Thurmond previous record got bathroom breaks! Was among the 25 hour speech, a mention.

In the wee hours locally, he was reading emails from people around the country (that someone printed and brought him, presumably, I was asleep). He had binder and binders of notes. People's stories, statistics he was using to rip apart tax cut and deficit lies, previous speeches and famous quotes he wanted to make sure he quoted exactly when he got to them.

Reading glasses he kept taking off to pace around and gesticulate and then put back on to check he got the next detail right when he went back to the binders.

Man did an amazing job and was still going. So very very good at speaking, at grabbing people's attention and energy.

He deserves three days with unlimited hot tub use, shower(s) with a chair, and his choice of foods, including as much as he's capable of sleeping in the comfiest bed ever.

Sounds like he's gonna be at work tomorrow, tho. If it would arrive faster, I'd mail him some boxes of the pain relief patches I use-- he's gonna need them.
