My masterlist has been reworked. At the bottom of the screen you will now see tabs for Wallpapers, Holiday/Seasonal Wallpapers, Icons, Screencaps, Other Edits, and Writing. You can navigate more easily now hopefully.

If you don’t see something you like you’re always free to send in a request for something new to my ask box or messages. They can be as simple as can I get a wallpaper/icon/etc. of [Character], or be more involved by adding colors, themes, or styles you’d like.

My Ko-fi is here  and my Redbubble is here if you’re interested in supporting me and my creations

I really think people have forgotten just how bad things were under the Trump Administration. Literally every day there was news about some service being cut or someone terrible appointed somewhere they shouldn't be or what have you. He constantly flirted with WW3 and military dictatorship. It was such a blur of badness that there aren't big standouts for people to point to to make him "the XYZ president." it was everything. all the time. Why do we not remember this.

Remember how everyone learned Zelenskyys name? he wasn't the presiden of Ukraine standing up against a longshot defense against a Russian invasion. He was that guy that Trump tried to extort in order to get blackmail against Joe Biden.

Can anyone name the current secretary of education? I can't. But I can list the shitty things Betsy DeVos did

lookninjas

He literally signed an executive order blocking people from six (primarily Muslim) countries from entering the United States a week after he took office. A week after he took office, we had people on airplanes back to the States getting turned away. We had people with legitimate visas getting turned away. Permanent residents were being detained at airports for days. People with dual citizenship didn't know what the fuck to do. There were lawyers camped out at airports. There were protests. We went from taking 1800 refugees a week to taking 2. 2 refugees. The entire time the executive order was in effect.

A week after he took office he did this. A fucking week.

Here is a list of what Joe Biden did on his first day in office

  1. Require masks on federal property.
  2. Rejoin the World Health Organization
  3. Set up a COVID office that reported directly to him.
  4. Extend the foreclosure/eviction moratoriums.
  5. Freeze student debt collection.
  6. Rejoin the Paris Climate Accords
  7. Revoke the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, ban drilling in national parks (where Trump had issued orders permitting it), and setting stricter fuel economy standards for vehicles
  8. Terminating the 1776 Commission.
  9. Revoking Trump's changes to the Census that would have shortened the time Census takers had to work and excluded undocumented immigrants from the Census
  10. Strengthened protections for kids here under the DACA (Dream) act, which Trump had tried to eliminate. (Note: This program is currently suspended due to a suit from the Texas 5th district court, although the current federal government maintains its legality.)
  11. Abolished Executive Order 13780, aka the revised version of the Muslim Ban.
  12. Canceled the Trump Administration's Interior Enforcement Rules, and I'm just gonna quote from Politico here because I can't seem to find a good way to summarize: "Biden revoked a Trump executive order that massively expanded immigration officials’ interior enforcement work and broadened the categories of who they should try to detain and deport. His acting DHS secretary then issued a memo pausing deportations for 100 days beginning on Jan. 22."
  13. Stopped work on the border wall
  14. Expanded deportation protection for Liberians
  15. Banned workplace discrimination against LGBT employees
  16. Signed an ethics pledge and ordered every employee in the executive branch to do likewise.
  17. Froze every Trump administration regulation that was currently in progress, requiring that they be reviewed by his administration before any of them could be enacted. (These included rules to speed up processing at chicken factories, despite concerns that this could lead to increased worker injuries and salmonella outbreaks. They also included a rule that would have reintroduced firing squads for federal executions. I'm finding it difficult to see if any of those frozen regulations were ever allowed to take place. You'd think at least the firing squad one would be easy to track down).

It's a lot of smaller, occasionally kind of policy wonk-ish stuff. He didn't save the world and create an eternal paradise in his first hundred days. But a lot of people could breathe a little easier, whether or not they knew the work that went into it.

And, you know, people weren't being held indefinitely at airports while Trump fought to revoke their visas for being the wrong kind of Muslim (aka the poor kind), so there's that.

#i was in elementary and middle school during trump so i don't remember what it was like but I'm sure it was awful

@writingraccoon it was! And it's going to be even more awful if he's elected again, because he's actually got a plan this time--it involves staffing every government office with loyalists, which would include things like the department of education, the EPA, the CDC, and so on--and now thanks to the Supreme Court he gets immunity on anything he does in office ever.

The fact that all this is going on and all the media seems to be concerned with is how old Biden is is making me fucking insane.

"If voting changed anything they wouldn't let people do it-" grabs your face THEY DIDN'T JUST "LET" PEOPLE DO IT, MOST PEOPLE COULDN'T VOTE FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. PEOPLE OF COLOR ONLY GOT THE FULL RIGHT TO VOTE 50 YEARS AGO IN THE US, THATS BARELY A GENERATION.

IF IT DIDNT MATTER AT ALL WHY WOULD THEY SPEND SO MUCH TIME GERRYMANDERING THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYWHERE?? WHY CAN'T FELONS VOTE?? WHY CANT PUERTO RICO VOTE? WHY DO THEY KEEP SWITCHING DATES AND LAWS AND TIMES AND WHATEVER THEY POSSIBLY CAN TO STOP PEOPLE FROM VOTING?? WHY DO THEY MAKE EFFORT AT ALL??

BEING DISILLUSIONED IS A REASONABLE RESPONSE. BUT PEOPLE FOUGHT AND DIED AND ARE STILL FUCKING DYING FOR THAT RIGHT, DONT SPIT IN THEIR FACE.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

alagaisia

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

alagaisia

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

emi--rose

Hell yeah moon holiday

hello-delicious-tea

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

ariaste

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

Justin posted the 1956 house he and his wife bought in Jasper, Indiana. It is a complete time capsule. Absolutely NOTHING has been updated or touched.

Everything is still here- look at the appliances. All original. This is not like the classy expensive updated mid century homes we’ve seen before. 

image
image

The furniture has to be the original pieces and sets the previous owners bought. 

image

The wall hangings are aged.

image

This is an interesting piece, this bar. 

image

Look at the bathroom- pink fixtures.

image

Those lamps!

image

The master bath has a yellow tub and fixtures.

image

A 2nd bdm. Even the bedding is vintage.

image

And, this bath has blue Fixtures. Wow, I would definitely keep them.

image

More cool lamps and original furniture in the knotty pine family room. 

image

Wow, look at the built-ins in the office.

image

The lower floor.

image
image

The basement is cool- look at that floor! And, the TV. The bar is classic. I wonder if they were leaving any of this.

image

Off the rec room is a 2nd kitchen. A pink fridge!

image

And, there’s this room, too. Look at the stone wall.
