Hey, so, how do you find and challenge posts that have been flagged incorrectly? I’m searching back through my blog and there are art posts that say “hey this might contain adult content” but I have no way of seeing what that post was because the post is otherwise completely scrubbed? I never got any notifications or anything, I have no way of knowing which pieces are supposedly problematic.
Okay, so, I can find the posts, but so far only 1 in 5 have had a “review this/challenge this/whatever/” button available that allows me to challenge it. So I guess I have to contact tumblr individually about each one? this is so stupid.

If you would report an undocumented immigrant to ICE you would have reported me to the Nazis and I don’t fucking trust you
A note:
I live in a state where you “have to” report anyone you suspect of being undocumented (that wonderful hellhole of Arizona). Now in practice this law has fallen far short, thank goodness. But if you live in such a place and they start enforcing it, here is how you get around it:
Assume everyone who doesn’t speak English is visiting.
Never ask about their job, because if they tell you they work here then you know they’re not visiting. You see them a lot for several weeks or months? Hm. Someone in the family must be ill. That’s terribly tough. They always dress in old, ratty laborers’ clothes? I feel you, my dude, I can’t afford new clothes either, and my dad has the fashion sense of an aardvark, so sometimes it’s not even about “affording” them. They say they’ve been here for years? You must have misunderstood. Spanish isn’t your first language, after all. First and last name? It never came up, or you don’t recall–you meet a lot of people.
And then, if you’re asked: no, you haven’t seen anyone residing illegally in the United States. Just people visiting.
Very good very important addition
Essentially, this is the civil society version of a work-to-rule strike.
Don’t do more than is expressly asked of you, and do what you are asked with such an intense attention to protocol that not asking you at all becomes more effective than even bothering.
In this case:
“Have you seen an illegal immigrant?”
“Could you describe an illegal immigrant, officer?”
*officer describes a person who is in the country without appropriate paperwork, or who has crossed the border illegally*
“No, sir, I haven’t seen any illegal immigrant.”
And this is correct. You have NOT seen an illegal immigrant, because you have no way of knowing if Jose Fulano is here legally or not. And since you can’t see his paperwork (or lack thereof), and did not personally see him cross the border illegally, you are only answering precisely the question asked.
I’m not American, and I have like, three followers, but this is important.
Hey so friendly reminder about voting and elections that I haven’t seen going around yet but is SUPER IMPORTANT.
Watch what you wear and say while you’re waiting in line for the voting booth/at the polls. It is against federal law to do anything that might be considered campaigning once you’re there, and since we know that voter suppression is the name of the game this election, there will be people looking for ANY reason to remove you from the polling place. And they will nitpick. You have a shirt with a artistic picture of donkey on it? You’re visibly supporting the Democrats, you’re disqualified from voting. Want to wear a Black Lives Matter shirt? Not there you don’t. They’ll call it intimidation and kick you out. Pins, buttons, stickers, none of it. Wear the most bland, plain clothes you can imagine.
And then keep your mouth shut. Even the slightest hint of discussion about which candidate you’re voting for can get used against you. Don’t assume the people around you are safe to discuss it with. You might be overheard. There WILL people watching for these things, hoping to get rid of anyone they can. Voter suppression isn’t just about making registration impossible. It happens at the polling stations too. Be smart, be bland, be quiet, and make sure your vote gets in.
Also- and I have seen this mentioned but it bears repeating- DO NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF YOUR BALLOT. EVER. It’ll also disqualify your vote. Take a selfie when you’re out of their with your fun little sticker.
this post is a fucking joke right ?
nope, it is illegal to campaign near a voting station and taking pictures of your ballot is illegal in many states. I think it might even be illegal to take pictures around the voting place at all. The extent to which “campaigning” is interpreted allows for easy voter suppression.
vote for the one most likely to remove a republican.
it’s that simple.
Vote them out.
Vote for the candidate that sees every person as a human being.
not if they can’t win, buddy. i’m serious. LISTEN. VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICANS. EVEN IF THAT MEANS VOTING IN SOME REGULAR ASSHOLES.
if the candidate who sees every person as a human being is green party, then you vote for the democrat who sees every person as a stepping stone, because unless we get rid of the republican who sees every person as a target a lot of us are going to goddamn die. people are dying already. like, not to guilt you, but if we don’t get a democratic majority in the house and senate ASAP we’re screwed.
it doesn’t fucking matter if you voted for Jesus Actual Christ if he was running on a penny ante party ticket. we need you to vote for Joe Slick Bastard Democrat instead, because there is no such thing as a green party majority in the senate, do you understand? there will not be a green party speaker of the house. green party will not get to put up supreme court nominees.
if you vote for the Good People instead of the democrats, we’re gonna end up back in this toilet bowl again, only deeper this time because the republicans will take it as a mandate to do whatever they want.
take a deep breath, put on rubber gloves, and touch the poop. don’t be precious.
In the primary you vote for the best candidate. In the general you vote for the person who can remove the Republican. You have your chance to do both.

I read on another post “this is about setting the difficulty of our boss battle for the next two years” and that is absolutely true. You’re not voting for someone you agree with, you’re not voting for someone who is perfect or great or even good.
You are voting for the person who is a) going to get elected and b) is easiest to fight for what you need. Until we move the needle, the best we can expect is ‘the best of all enemies’ and not ‘an ally’.
We did this in Canada.
And guess what?
IT FUCKING WORKED.
We don’t have an awesome government, and it’s not the Prime Minister I would have liked or thought was the best or the party I would have normally voted for. The Stop Harper movement got him out, it defeated the Conservative Government resoundingly, and while it’s not ideal, it’s a far cry better and easier to work with than what we had before. It wasn’t the man who was described as ‘Stalinistic’ by his OWN party members.
That’s because our government is a two party system. It is designed to eliminate third party or low percentage votes. Don’t throw your vote away on good conscience. Vote for the one who removes the enemy you know is evil. Then move on to assessing a new enemy, if need be.
A couple weeks ago, one of my best and closest friends Suu aka hyukmis on tumblr had a horrible oil burn accident happen to her which has caused her chest to receive 3rd degree burns and her arms 2nd degree burns. As of now, her left hand is free from bandages but the road to recovery is still a long one. Her mother who was also present during the accident had gotten a little burned on one of her arms as well and is also recovering. Because of where we live and what her insurance is (or isn’t) able to cover, she had to be flown down to Las Vegas to be given the proper treatment.
Even if you just gave this a reblog, it would mean everything to me. Donations are also of course greatly appreciated.
I was thinking hard about if I could make any kind of incentives, but I’ve also been so busy. I don’t think I could make a request for everyone who donates, but I could possibly make some kind of incentives via notes;
If this post gets 500 notes, I will make a thank you art piece of some kind;
If this post can reach 1,000 notes, I will update The Universe Will Die Without You with chapter 30!
If this post reaches 2,500 notes, I’ll update The Universe Will Die Without You again.
If this somehow reaches like 5,000+ I’ll do some kind of giveaway and update TUWDWY again??? (I don’t know ;v;)
I apologize for being away from social media for some time. I haven’t been myself lately, and it’s been really hard to get back into the groove of things. That being said, there’s no way I can completely abandon artwork completely.
Thank you all for understanding again any sharing/donations for her gofundme fundraiser is greately appreciated.
Thank you all so much to everyone who’s stuck by these past years
