Just A Little Mad

Maybe there’s someone in this abandoned clown factory who can help us

this is what companies say every time they try to buy tumblr

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.

Addition for those unaware: Cory Booker is black. Strom Thurmond set the previous record about 70 years ago in protest of civil rights. Booker spent much of the time I was watching talking about the importance of working together for the people and the idea that it's not "left versus right but right versus wrong."

The new record speech is on the right side of history.

Be careful with that one, love. She will do what it takes to survive.

fat character who becomes a vampire and loses a ton of weight and blood can not sate their hunger but they can't eat anything they used to like anymore. everyone views it as a positive healthy positive development but they're starving and dying slowly but never truly dying, a living corpse. this is a metaphor for something

People finally think they’re attractive and cool and funny but they’re dead. People finally treat them well but they’re dead. Do you see the vision

Transforms into a shell of my former self and finally gains the respectability society never bestowed upon me before

Whoever wrote this, slayed so hard with all these statements, truer words have never been spoken

Do you always have to be alone

happy 12 year anniversary to the most memorable event in tumblr history

happy tdov never kill yourself

do whatever else you have to do . drop everything and change your life never become mega successful by capitalist standards drop out of school quit your job etc. or do nothing at all and just survive whatever that looks like day to day. but whatever you do dont kill yourself

if you have the energy to do one other thing besides survive it should be trying to help the most vulnerable members of our community survive too. “come kill me yourself” isnt just a little witty rejoinder its happening right now to us, to trans women and trans people of color and trans women of color more than anything. so step 1 never kill yourself step 2 never let that be the only option for anyone else either

Pppffff

GET GRUFFALO'D, BITCH

If you haven't heard of Julia Donaldson, she's primarily a picture book author, who we can thank for extremely popular Halloween classic Room on the Broom as well as the Gruffalo.

Let this be a testament to the power of picture books.

I'm living for these jokes.

Also I need "GET GRUFFALO'D, BITCH" on a T-shirt.

"no! get away! it's not safe!"

Woah mama it happens to us all

theres no such thing as tmi to me. i want to live in your ribcage.

Matching your freak is beautiful and all but what you really need is a boy who's infatuated with your freak. Down bad for your freak. Deeply intrigued by your freak. Eager to see more of your freak. Supportive of your freak. Gets bricked up witnessing your freak, even.

the best yaoi is written by straight men who don't know they're writing yaoi and the best yuri is written by lesbian women who want to inflict you with a brain disorder

i have something of a "white person specific face blindness" so suffice it to say. severance has been somewhat difficult to follow

getting my ass beat in the gc for this

They need to stop packaging pop tarts and their generics by twos. Two pop tarts is too many. I'm 25 years old. I'm practically geriatric. Two pop tarts is too many. Two pop tarts will kill me.
