I'm sorry, y'all, but if we're going out on this hellscape I need to drop some old truths. They're not fun.

Content warning but we're living it so... ?
I wrote this on another account, so it's not in its optimal form. We're going to push through the pain though.
[I wrote this after Hurricane Maria had wiped out PR; simultaneously ICE was scooping up people in increasingly violent and scary raids across the US.) Image
Who takes the refugees? Pretty much no one, ever. Image
Fox News has sucked the teat of Goebbels forever. Image
Keeping "order" I'm sure. Looking at you, LEOs Image
This is literally happening right now, here, in this country. The border is full of fascist crazies who strip, rape and humiliate people who come here.

Don't get me started on the fetish-christo-gun-child-marriage cult. Image
*stares at Harlan Crow and Clarence Thomas* Image
Image
MARGE IS THAT YOU Image
Oh. Image
Sidebar: I'm genuinely shocked I'm pulling up this *counts on fingers* 6 year old thread.

We should have been in the streets every night as soon as Muslims were being yanked off of planes. The transgender ban in the military hot on their heels.

Child. Concentration. Camps.
'Sup Boebert. 'Sup Gym. Image
These fuckos are literally creating the situation that will fill mass graves. Image
Hi, Fox. Hi, CNN.

You know you're complicit. Image
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE Image
PLZ IGNORE THE ASHES IN YOUR COFFEE Image

If this is how I go out on this platform, I did a good deed.

Fuck the GOP, fuck the judiciary, fuck the NRA, fuck anyone who turned a blind eye to this VERY OBVIOUS CAMPAIGN OF ERASURE.
Fuck the pundits who normalized it all during Obama when the black guy was taking heat and it was laughed off.
Fuck all the people who wouldn't vote for the email lady.
Because they didn't "like" her.
Protest vote my ass. That was some straight up misogyny and you fucks know it.

Didn't like the black guy, didn't like the woman.
Eat shit, fascists.
Addendum: I thought I was finished, but it turns out that I might not be done *checks calendar* ever.
If you want to know ALL ABOUT THE FASCISTS, look no further than the 80s: Jesse Helms, AIDS crisis, Focus on the Family, absolute dereliction of duty protecting this country.
You know what they did?

Banned books. Banned art. Legally, too.
"LEGALLY."
Oh my god. I've written pleas for so very long.

In conclusion: fuck the apathetic asshats, the enablers of fascism, the greed that made ad dollars and entertainment more important than fact checking madmen, and fuck everyone that voted for a dried up sack of sadness and fake cheddar.

I want to take you on a brief tour of my brain. It won't take long. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
I didn't understand "OFMD fandom." I didn't know it existed until late last year.

But I was OFMD's biggest fan all by myself. It was honestly lonely. My account has always skewed political.

Both candidates are bad.

One is old, served the US as a public servant forever, lost his family in car wrecks, to cancer and/or drugs; made decisions based on absurd centrism in the 70-90s.

The other wants to kill you.
One wants to go nap because he's been doing a humanitarian boat lift alone for four years.

The other wants to deport you, your family, everyone you love.
One is working from ancient briefings about "where we stand" regarding Israel and the Palestinians.

They're not good briefings. At all.

I don't know how to say this without pissing off literally everyone, but the Met Gala existing at the same time as the horrors of Zionism is normal, since cognitive dissonance is the new normal.

(And the theme of #MetGala was the decay of aristocracy no matter what.)
Art is essential. Nazis destroy art.
You don't have to like the MetGala because of its rarified exclusiveness, which is sound--but the craftspeople who labored for those beautiful--and many, on point thematically--clothes are artists.
Remember that fascists HATE art. HATE it. Doesn't matter what kind.

Graffiti, couture, street art, antiquities. What they don't destroy, they loot and take for themselves.

Yesterday was depressing, wasn't it? I just keeping pouring my grief about everything into this delightful show.

So this thread👇👇👇 was me triangulating the movements of the writers based on the moon, the currents, and wind patterns. (sort of) #SaveOurFlagMeansDeath
May Auntie preserve and protect us.

#OFMDs1 was so much easier to track as a timeline than #OFMDs2 for a lot of reasons.

But that doesn't mean I DIDN'T TRY!

I see that everyone is doing JUST FINE with the cancellation of #ofmd on this stormy Wednesday.
So today, in honor of this deliriously crushing breakup, I'll share some of my "Let's get into the brain of the writers" on #OFMD.

When you love something as much as I love #OFMD, no number of re-watches makes it stale.
And since it was my psychologist, my friend, my reason for not panicking about the state of the world because at LEAST there was this safe space ship, I spent so much time thinking about why it worked for me.
