I know that I don’t have a big following on here but I reblog a bunch of shit that a handful of people like. To those people, I just made a website and have been posting my podcast if you want to dip your toe in!

I miss being 7 and designing a Valentine’s Day shoebox and buying 25 little paper valentines with whatever I loved on them and writing them to each of my classmates and adding a little piece of candy to each valentine and dropping them in all my classmate’s boxes and then opening my own box at the end of the day to discover 25 little valentines from the rest of my class showing what they all loved…. Oh to be a 7-year-old on February 14th
If you say “I’m not voting ❤️” your excuse better be not living in America, under 18 or you legally cannot vote for whatever reason. Now is not a time to be apolitical.
NPR just ran a story about how undecided voters are less than 1% of the voting population so the current tactic is to disenfranchise voters into not voting. They’re flooding social media with trolls and bots talking about how they’re not voting because their preferred candidate didn’t win the primaries, about how nothings going to change and there’s no point in voting. And the thing is, we know how social media works. People get stuck in these echo chambers and have those ideas reinforced over and over again by hundreds of different (fake) voices. It’s not directly voter suppression, but it smells very heavily of it.
So like. Don’t fall into their lies. Vote like our lives depend on it, because they do.
I’m not American, but like. This needs a signal boost.
FUCKING VOTE
If you don’t vote, you are saying you’re fine with white supremacy.
If you don’t vote, you are saying you are fine with an America of censored internet and increased surveillance.
If you don’t vote, you are saying the rich should only get richer while the poor get poorer.
If you don’t vote, you are supporting the suppression of POC, LGBT, and disabled or ill people as this administration pushes more and more sickeningly discriminatory policies against those groups.
If you don’t vote, you are enabling the rise in violent gun crimes, since this administration only wants more guns in more untrained hands.
If you don’t vote, you are saying that corporations are worth more than people.
If you don’t vote, you reward a petulant child and his army of sycophants who use YOUR money to line THEIR pockets.
If you don’t vote, you are saying that science is not real.
If you don’t vote, 200,000 people dead will not be the moral outrage it should be but rather “Remember when the death toll was that low?”
If you don’t vote, you are not allowed to be outrages or offended by anything that happens moving forward. Not by the freedoms we lose, the lives we lose, or the harm done to millions of people.
The worst thing abt working in a craft store is that 90% of the time, the woman jokes in some way or another her husband will kill her/beat her for spending money. Or they’ll half the payment in cash so it “looks like less when he checks our account.”
That shit isn’t funny. It isn’t cute and it makes me so sad that these women joke about it. So WHAT if your wife likes to make wreaths or sparkly tumbler cups??? So WHAT if her passion is soap making or painting?? God forbid ur wife have a fucking hobby that isn’t blowing you!!
Holiday season is upon us so if you berate ur wife for having a hobby, fuck you!! If you know somebody who does this fucking punch them in the throat!!!
my mom owned a store like this and would be like “does your husband golf?” and the shop was in a rich white neighbourhood so they would always say yes and my mom would do quick math and be like “great, this is worth half a game of golf. Looks like you have more to spend if you wanna!”
great tactic in empowering women and selling more craft items
