Shoutout to all the people of Ohio who just passed abortion, contraception, and reproductive rights of all people into constitutional law by a fucking 12+ point margin despite the state legislature desperately trying to do everything they can to fuck up the vote. I'm so proud of y'all!!
Edit: Trans people fucking rule, sex work is cool and deserves respect, sex isn't a binary, gender critical theory is based on terrible disproven science and is just Phrenology for sex.

anyway in the past week the irish government has voted down two motions which would have condemned the genocide in gaza.
i need everyone to stop lionising ireland as if its not also a european government with strong ties to the us. american weapons pass through shannon airport and will continue to, because yesterday the motion to stop that was voted down 83 to 50.
other governments have done much more but somehow people still act as though ireland is the ultimate palestinian ally and exempt from criticism on its handling of palestine bc it was once colonised, even though that past experience clearly isnt being taken into account by the irish government when creating policy.
i live here i know there’s a lot of public support and sympathy for palestine, which is great, but that isnt reflected in government, and i think ireland should be treated like other countries whose governments have done nothing.

Supernatural is not a good show. In fact, it is pretty objectively terrible. It has moments of brilliance and potential, but it squanders it most of the time.
But there will never be another show like this one.
Supernatural was a show where pretty much anything could happen, and it went on long enough that pretty much everything did. It went from a straightforward, procedural monster-hunting show to a weird, meta parody of itself where the main characters beg for freedom from a cruel and all-powerful writer controlling their fate.
Supernatural was a show made for cishet white men that gained an audience of anything but, and spent years struggling with that dissonance. It became multiple shows at once to appeal to its vastly varied fanbase and, when faced with the need to choose an ending and decide its identity once and for all, ended up angering everyone.
Supernatural was a show that the writers completely and utterly lost control of. I don't think the writers of 04x01 Lazarus Rising could have ever in a million years imagined the events of 15x18 Despair. It became a monster bigger than itself because of the energy of its fanbase. The show itself briefly became a mirror of this dissonance in its final season, before the show finally tried to regain control and ended the way that it did.
Supernatural has had an impossibly impactful mark on internet and fandom culture. It has changed this website in tangible ways that won't be forgotten anytime soon. It was the 12-year-long queerbait, the one that would serve as the scale against which to compare all queer ships before and after. It spawned the only ship to date with over 100,000 fanfics on ao3. It was the homosexual homophobic show. The world's longest, most drawn-out hate crime. And it ended it all with superhell, tetanus, and party city wigs.
Supernatural is not a good show. But it is undoubtedly fascinating and influential. I want to study this show endlessly. It is just so fully insane to me.
Anyways, I'll be posting about this show A LOT tomorrow as well so sorry to my non-supernatural mutuals. I'm jealous that you are not cursed with the burden of knowledge that is this show.

The propaganda trolls are back at it again
Tumblr media
This post has over 2,000 notes on it and it's blatantly false. The troll farm employees must be hooting and hollering because they got found out but still are winning hearts and minds. By spreading their desired messages, you are spreading anti-democratic and anti-social propaganda that was designed to infiltrate the Left within the US and outside of it. You are not helping the people you want to be helping by spreading this.
Critical Analysis Questions:
Why do you think chaos agents chose to spread disinformation and sow decent under the guise of being black, US-based activists?
Do you think they may have been able to capitalize on pre-existing, organic resentments that black Americans had toward white Americans?
Do you think that by pushing divisive messages through the fake mouths of black Americans that it was easier to fragment both communities of black Americans and communities of white American supporters of racial equality into either appearing to side with the so-called activists or against the so-called activists?
Do you think this created a more cohesive or less cohesive racial equality movement within the Left and American society in general?
Who do you think it serves to reformulate their lies into lies of your own?
If you believe that the Internet Research Agency and other Russian propaganda outlets targeted other social media sites but did not target Tumblr, what evidence do you have to support that? Do you know the identities of these sources? Do you have reason to believe that they are who they say they are?
What was the timing of the last round of Russian-backed trolls?
Is this an election year?
Was there evidence of Internet Research Agency-run accounts encouraging people not to vote in 2016? Or not to vote for a specific candidate?
Do you see anything like that happening here on tumblr this year?
Why might Putin have an interest in fracturing the American Left right now? Is there anything at stake for him?
Reporting on Prior Infiltration of Tumblr:
^ This is a link to the Senate Select Intelligence Committee Report on Russia's use of social media (Tumblr mentioned pg. 16, 56, 60-61) to spread falsehoods about the 2016 election.
This mentions that, among other things, multiple research reports commissioned by the Senate Select Intelligence Committee identified Tumblr as being a platform used by the Internet Research Agency, among other Russian operations, to spread propaganda. Committee staff met with Tumblr staff specifically about these accounts that were identified (page 60). These interviews confirmed that the troll accounts made over 100,000 posts and interacted with 11.7 million unique US users. They specifically targeted young black Americans (page 61).
^Broader Reporting

(This journal article specifically talks about the identity politics taken up by lagonegirl, one of the accounts identified as a Russian troll account).
^Reports getting at the targeting of racial instabilities to sow division.
Final question if you still think that tumblr completely made up this story, Laura Rosenburger of the German Marshall Fund committed the felony of lying to to the Senate Intelligence Committee, Renee DiResta and her team at New Knowledge fabricated their report that was cited in the Intelligence Committee report, tumblr staff directly lied to the Senate Intelligence Committee staff, and federal law enforcement falsely communicated the findings of their own investigation to tumblr, all to delete these 84 blogs:
What the hell?

Samwell Tarly is objectively the best character in ASoIaF. Genuinely tries to be a good person at every step of the journey, only member of the Night's Watch to even try to help a single one of Craster's daughters (Jon Snow could never), literally has the highest kill ratio of Others for any single man at the Wall, also a nerd. He even invented voter fraud.

i feel like the only reason that leo and annabeth aren't Best Friends is because jason and percy are doing everything within their powers to make sure that doesn't happen, for everyone else's safety and sanity. piper on the other hand... piper dares them to make stupid and dangerous inventions and watches the chaos unfold
