idk if anyone cares, but I’m writing a persona 5 royal fanfic. we’re up to chapter 6 now! no promises on consistent updates though haha
Audrey R., who’s running for the OTW board, is apparently also currently running for office. As a Republican
so uhhhhhh keep that in mind when you’re voting
I’m going to do a bit more research, because she’s from southwest Missouri and seems like she wants to have some affect on her local politics and HAS ran unsuccessfully as an independent. It may be more “I want to be able to be involved in politics at all” than “I support republican ideals”
After some digging, I can say a few things from her Twitter account
1. She does not appear to be pro censorship OR anti queer
2. I found criticisms of the Republican Party, Biden, and Israel
3. She’s the policy lead for this organization
I don’t want to tell anyone what to do with this info (personally I’m going to keep looking deeper to see what comes up) but I think that it’s worth considering beyond her Twitter bio
Then she's too stupid to elect. Sorry to be blunt about it, but that's how it is. Anyone who can look at the current Republican party and think, "withholding state funds to suppress viewpoints you don't like is the opposite of what the part is about" is too stupid to defend against censorship.
No one ever fucking opens with, "yeah we just want to suppress other people's viewpoints". They pretty it up, they give justifications, safety concerns, etc. If someone can't recognize that in action, they are too credulously stupid to serve in a position safeguarding an anti-censorship archive.
What we need to do is convince all the disney adults in america that high speed rail would be a preferable way of getting to disneyworld compared to driving or flying. We could maybe harness their fondness for the monorail or something, but this is a group of people that has time, income, and passion that we could leverage. If we could direct 5% of the enthusiasm they have for limited edition popcorn buckets into calling their representatives and demanding high-speed interstate rail, we could get it by 2030
gonna start saying “you couldn’t make x movie today” but for reasons unrelated to political correctness
you couldn’t make Home Alone 2: Lost in New York today because the strict airport regulations put into place after 9/11 make it nigh impossible for a child to simply walk onto the wrong plane
You couldn’t make American psycho today because Christian Bale would actually kill Jared Leto for real
I don’t see that as a deal breaker.
i love love loveee when kids come into my workplace because i always offer them stickers and the kids almost always accept them. and literally every time without fail the parent will expectantly say “and what do you say……?” and the kid will only say thank you like 60% of the time but its so cute to me every time. hundreds of parents whove never met each other united by the arduous task of teaching your child to be polite
i love when you do something nice for a kid and they give you the Five Year Old’s Thousand Yard Stare and their parents are like “say thank you!” and they look at you like you killed their brother in a past life kids are so funny
Tumblr is unique bc like. It's collaborative shitposting and you can't opt in or out. You can just say something about your day then an evil wizard shows up to turn your post into something humorous
Every other site is just one and done, but here a post is a welcome mat to be funnier than you
yeah or sometimes you’ll see a post that hacks into your brain and forever rewrites your instinctual reaction to seeing a pineapple explode

OTW elections are coming up and if you've donated $10 in the last year, you'll be receiving a ballot in August. Audrey Richards is a GOP candidate who's been involved in efforts to "save children" from queer media, so for the love of all that's holy DO NOT VOTE FOR HER.
CHEERS TO GUY WALTON FOR “OUTING” THE FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES
From the article:
Walton has devised his own criteria for named heatwaves in the US, based on duration and extremity, on a one to five scale similar to hurricanes. Heatwave Chevron is classed as a four and is “historic”, Walton said. The meteorologist said he has a list of 20 oil and gas companies – including Exxon and Shell – for upcoming heatwaves and will turn to coal companies if he runs out of names.
Y'all know what to do. Use Walton's naming system. Make it catch on.
I work at a movie theater.
And personally? To be in the tickets booth, and see young girls, teenagers, adult women, coming in to see Barbie,
the most highlighter pink outfits, some of them coming in with the dolls they’re dressed as, laughing to each other, cheering for each other,
to see the men they’re coming to see it with, dressed in pink, cheering them on, taking their pictures with smiles and cheers in the lobby at the photo op
touches something so deep in me
I can’t say any nuances of the movie that haven’t already been said, but like, fuck man, love is so deep and so kind and to be able to see glimpses of it from behind my little ticket desk makes me a little less nihilistic.
when your cat licks his paw…then rubs his head with the paw… wow….that’s his shmapoo and conditioner…..
finding it extremely sexycool that celebrities are going into hibernation for a bit from their natural habitat. We are freed from the expectation of having to know things about celebrities. Like, sorry, no, I didn't know that. No, actually, they can't be dating, they're asleep. Go to sleep.
casting this like a spell
albatrosses will wipe the floor with any species of bird you choose to compare them to. they’re the Most, or at least Extremely, by almost every metric
wingspan. lifespan. intricacy of mating dances. devotion to monogamy. investment in offspring. ability to circumnavigate the globe. literary symbolism that is flexible but not to the point of meaninglessness. eyeliner quality. I could go on
muppetness of said offspring
