Look, I will get back to my fandom shitposting in November if we all survive, but I need to make one thing very fucking crystal clear:
You WILL vote for Kamala Harris this fall. You will.
If you care about Palestine, you will vote for Harris, who has called for a ceasefire.
If you care about prison reform and changing the horrifically racist and classist prison pipeline, you will vote for Harris, who, as a prosecutor in California, kept hundreds of black men out of prison for minor "drug" (marijuana) offenses and only sent a handful to be incarcerated.
If you're a woman and you want to be able to live your life and make your own choices in it, you will vote for Harris.
If you are BIPOC and want to retain your freedom and your right to vote, you will vote for Harris.
If you're any flavor of LGBT and want to retain your right to exist, you will vote for Harris.
If you're an immigrant and you'd like to avoid deportation, a concentration camp, or death, you'd better fucking vote for Harris. If you're not a citizen yet, get your friends and neighbors to vote Harris.
Trump wants to be a dictator with unlimited, unquestioned power and a corrupt government beholden to him. He's said as much himself. The unhinged bigot frequently says the quiet part out loud, in the midst of his nonsensical ramblings.
Kamala Harris is level-headed, strategic, a cunning and experienced politician and lawyer. She's eloquent and delightfully sassy, but that last one's just my own opinion.
Donald Trump is a jabbering weirdo, a felon, a rapist, and he wants to kill, remove, or enslave everyone in this country who's not a wealthy cis het white man willing to lick his boots.
A third party vote is a vote for Trump. Not voting is a vote for Trump (I know. I and many people I know didn't vote in 2016).
A vote against Trump means only one thing: Vote. For. Harris.
It shouldn't even be a fucking question.
Kinda wild how my parents have known me for longer than literally anybody else on the planet and they still haven’t unlocked the relationship levels that allow them access to information like what TV shows or music I enjoy, when some random guy at Walmart got there within ten minutes today

something something Dan and Phil writing 2/3 mid-evil mad libs stories in which they die tragically together, something about not being able to imagine a world in which one lives on without the other

"Normally, one or the other of us would arrive with a fragment of a song. Please Please Me was a John idea. John liked the double meaning of “please”. Yeah, “please” is, you know, pretty please. 'Please have intercourse with me. So, pretty please, have intercourse with me, I beg you to have intercourse with me.' He liked that, and I liked that he liked that. This was the kind of thing we’d see in each other, the kind of thing in which we were matched up. We were in sync."
-Paul, The Lyrics (2021)
things that take time:
- loving yourself
- meaningful relationships
- accepting who you are
- recovery
- healing from heartbreak
- changing habits
- improving at a skill
- achieving your goals
The relevance of "I saw her standing there" between John and Paul
Paul considers "I saw her standing there" one of the best song he has ever written in his book "the lyrics" from 2021.
I think John thought the same? Because he sung this with Elton in 1974 telling the world it is a song from "his estranged fiance Paul". John thought it would be funny to sing it and wondered how Paul would react about it in 1974.
Maybe the song has significance to the both of them? It's the first song on their first official album "Please, Please, Please" from 1963.
The first draft from Paul was genderneutral? IT COULD BE ABOUT JOHN. "You're just seventeen." Which is when Paul met him in 1957.
You're just seventeen
You act like a queen
You.....are beyond compare
So how could I dance with another (feels like a love declaration that's meant to last forever)
When I see you standing there.
"You are beyond compare", remember Paul saying everyone else just faded into background at the Fete when The Quarrymen was performing? You act like a queen would fit John too.
Update: Added Toot and Snore Session from March 1974 his only known jamming session with Paul post The Beatles break up where John said "When I saw me standing there, and I said gee is that me?"
Happy 77th Birthday, Brian May!

Support a Family from Gaza During the War 🙏
Important 💢
Dear Friends,👋
My name is Ahmed Alanqer, and I live in Gaza with my wife Dina Almnasra and our four children. The war has destroyed our lives and made us live in constant fear. I have lost many family members, my life, my university, and my dearest loved ones. I don't know if I will survive or not. I fear becoming just a number in this long war, and I fear dying without meaning.
I accept death in Gaza, but I cannot bear to see what remains of my family die in front of me. We desperately need financial assistance to leave Gaza and protect my family.
Recently, Donations to our campaign have stopped, and I don't know why. I know many have stopped supporting Palestine due to the prolonged war, but please do not forget us. We ask you to share our story with your friends.
Every contribution, comment and donate can make a big difference.
Please contribute through our donation campaign link: https://gofund.me/35c30c67
Thank you for your support and prayers.Sincerely,🙏

HERE'S WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NOW THAT TRUMP HAS BEEN SHOT
Republicans WILL and ALREADY ARE trying to make Trump a martyr. They're already using the fact that Biden has compared Trump to Hitler, vis a vis Trump using Nazi/fascist talking points, to claim that Biden has fanned the flames, making this shooting possible. This doesn't mean there's no weight to pointing out that Trump has, in fact, used Nazi talking points...
However, conservatives WILL shout to the mountaintops that YOU and all leftists are the ones who made this shooting possible. They will 100 times over hammer on you for calling Trump a fascist, They're not going to mention Project 2025 for a second. In my humble opinion, there's no use fighting this rhetoric. There's nothing to gain from proving them wrong on this front, even if It's relatively easy to do so. Their outrage, performative or not, will sway moderates and centrists like that. Done. Moderates will, unfortunately, see calling Trump a fascist as bloodsports. They'll say you're fearmongering. They'll call you unreasonable.
Instead, we need to focus on the facts. Project 2025 is freely available for everyone to cite. Don't lose focus. DO NOT give up our best shot at swaying the centrists. We have the benefits of being right. We have the benefits of being able to talk past all the conservative bullshit you're about to see online everywhere. And most importantly, we have the benefits from The Heritage Foundation having posted publically their plans for the USA.
If leftists, progressives, liberals, all of us can hijack this shooting as publicity for Trump's own plans for the US, I think we have a chance. Reblog, talk to your friends and neighbors, and most importantly, DO NOT GIVE IN TO THE DOOMERISM. That's what Trumpies want. We can win this.
More pets go missing around the Fourth of July than any other time of year. If your cat is afraid of fireworks, keep them inside and STAY HOME. Make sure they have cozy places to hide. Play music to help cover the loud noises. Keep windows shut - cats can easily bust through screens if they are scared enough. Draw the curtains to block out flashes of light. Use a calming pheromone diffuser such as feliway if you have one. And if they are up for it, play with them for distraction!
