If you would report an undocumented immigrant to ICE you would have reported me to the Nazis and I don’t fucking trust you

A note:


I live in a state where you “have to” report anyone you suspect of being undocumented (that wonderful hellhole of Arizona). Now in practice this law has fallen far short, thank goodness. But if you live in such a place and they start enforcing it, here is how you get around it:


Assume everyone who doesn’t speak English is visiting.


Never ask about their job, because if they tell you they work here then you know they’re not visiting. You see them a lot for several weeks or months? Hm. Someone in the family must be ill. That’s terribly tough. They always dress in old, ratty laborers’ clothes? I feel you, my dude, I can’t afford new clothes either, and my dad has the fashion sense of an aardvark, so sometimes it’s not even about “affording” them. They say they’ve been here for years? You must have misunderstood. Spanish isn’t your first language, after all. First and last name? It never came up, or you don’t recall–you meet a lot of people.


And then, if you’re asked: no, you haven’t seen anyone residing illegally in the United States. Just people visiting.

Very good very important addition

A while back I made a political post that began: “If the right wing had set out to neuter the left in the US, they hardly could have done it better than by spreading impossible-standard purity-test bullshit among young progressives.” and ended “I’m not saying that conservative infiltrators spread purity-test standards and encourage progressives to turn on each other. I’m just saying that the outcome is the same as if they did: eternal self-sabotage for the left, permanent minority rule for the right.” It’s had a few hundred reblogs, so here’s an update.

Since I wrote the original post on December 3rd of 2017, it’s increasingly come out that not just Trump, but the NRA and likely other right-wing forces have been receiving illegal money and propaganda support from Russia. This includes Russian trolls and bots posing as progressives on Tumblr in order to sow division and chaos on the left, using social media to erode support for Democrats. So I should have said conservative infiltrators spread those purity-test standards and encourage progressives to turn on each other: I would have been right.

Quick test to find out whether you understand the Russian propaganda issue well enough. Do you understand why “Russian adoption” is a (barely concealed) code for lifting sanctions that have kept wealthy Russian criminals from accessing billions of money they squirreled away in the US? Are you aware that Congress voted overwhelmingly to toughen those sanctions, and Trump has simply refused to enforce that veto-proof law? If you live in the States, you need to know who Sergei Magnitsky was, because this is affecting your life every single day. Cheat sheet: Sergei Magnitsky was murdered by Russian oligarchs for investigating their corruption. The US responded with the Magnitsky Act, which has frozen billions of dollars in Russian assets that they’d stolen from their own people and hidden in US financial institutions. Since then, those oligarchs have spent millions trying to influence US politics to get their frozen stolen assets back.

And look how well it’s worked! Progressives online have picked up those corrupt billionaires’ propaganda talking points and continue to perpetuate them. They’re always talking shit about the Democrats, claiming that it’s their own fault they don’t win elections because they’re not left enough. But bizarrely, the answer to this problem is never “Support a primary challenge from a more progressive candidate,” which is the tactic that the GOP has been using successfully to push their party rightward. Instead, the online progressive’s answer is almost always: just complain, just keep spreading negativity, just stay home. That’s how you can tell it’s bullshit.

Progressives, pushing left means putting your shoulder to the wheel and pushing. You have to vote in every election and pick the most progressive candidate every time, even if “most progressive” doesn’t meet your perfect standards. You have to prove the votes are there to support the positions you want. You can’t say “Hey Democrats, I won’t support your baby step left with my vote, but if you jump leftward off this cliff, I’ll totally catch you!” If you support progress, you have to support even small progress. It’s fine to loudly remind people that you expect more! But ffs, take what you can get.

If the only party that comes close to your beliefs keeps losing, that’s your loss. The Green Party isn’t going to suddenly get their shit together and save you. You have to keep voting, even when that means choosing the lesser of two evils, because if you don’t, the worst evil wins. And right now, the worst evil is trying to make sure that even if a truly ideal progressive candidate did run, it wouldn’t matter how many votes they got, they’d still somehow lose the “election.”

like if a lesbian said some shit like “if you date a man, you’re no longer bi, you’re straight blah blah” that would be biphobic and y’all have every right to call her out. but if a lesbian said something like “i prefer f/f over m/f couples” that’s not really biphobic lol…like there’s an obvious reason why lesbians will prioritize f/f relationships over everything else and expecting lesbians to care about men dating women is not gonna work. like our lives are built around women loving women so clearly we’re always gonna be fixated on that over anything else

also nobody on here is going around calling gay men biphobic for preferring m/m couples in media. this stuff is always targeted at us.

i mean this with 100% sincerity when i say this: if you have a discourse sideblog of any kind, log out, turn off your computer, and find a hobby. now. read a book that isn’t in the YA section of your local barnes and noble. go see a movie. take up gardening. learn to paint. please, for the love of christ, do something else, you are wasting your life on this website.

yall couldn’t exercise even the smallest portion of restraint or self-respect so now i have to see fanart of the white robotwink from the shitty racist game made by a sex offender on the tumblr radar

“yeah detroit become human may be a shitty game that appropriates elements of real world civil rights movements to tell a bad racist story and david cage may be a hack excuse for a writer who has yet to face consequences for the sexual abuse reports brought against him but look! a moderately attractive skinny white dude! i can’t NOT support this game!”

For my 3D production class I had to create a three shot short that was a remake of an existing movie scene- with muppets. I ran out of time to do the particle water effects, but this is basically Pacific Rim anyway.
