— Female Emotion In Art

Dear usamericans, can I interest you in an online copy of Civil Disobedience and The Theory of the Leisure Class ? As someone from a country where protesting is second-nature, I feel inclined to share these essays. They may be old, but they hold up surprisingly well in today's capitalistic hellscape. So read up! Knowledge is power.

I remember when I was in middle school, I read a novel about a woman who was a bit fat, a bit neurodivergent and was disliked by her mother. As an adult, she lived completely alone. She was a fan of the Beatles. And I think the subtext was that she was raped when younger and was no longer this virgin she thought herself to be. And for the life of me, I can't remember the title or the author, even though I've wanted to finish this book for the longest time. (I had to take it back to the library)

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference

The confessions of a concerned bird.

It’s my hope that Tumblr is still a safe space from political interference when it comes to allowing the users to interact without fear that bots we interact with are sharing misinformation.

I have a very very big exam session in two weeks and I'm so scared to failed 🥺

Calling all Brits on this hellsite.

We all saw Elon Musk do the nazi salute at the Trump inauguration. We know that he is influencing and fanning the flames of right wing political parties.

And that very well may include ours.

Because Elon Musk has pledged to donate $100 million to the Reform party. He has since mentioned that it might be hard to give such a large sum now.

But I don’t think we should take our chances. And I think we can agree that letting billionaires influence our countries politics is a terrible idea.

If you also agree here’s a link to a Parliament petition.

It calls for the government to remove loopholes that allow wealthy foreign individuals to make donations into UK political parties (e.g. by funnelling through UK registered companies).

As it is a parliament petition the government are required to debate it in parliament. But for that to happen it needs to reach 100,000 signatures.

Non British folk I’m afraid you guys can’t sign but I encourage you guys to reblog so that more people can see this.

Lamp Light Books (a literary themed hotel) in Sapporo. The lobby is a library coffee shop.

I did not care much for Van Gogh because it was on every merch when I was a kid and it was a bit tacky. But I want to the Van Gogh museum when I was in Amsterdam, out of pure curiosity, totally expecting to be underwhelmed, and I still don't have the words to express how beautiful these paintings were 🥺

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

two things. I think america needs to retire the “killing baby hitler” debate for good bc it turns out a lot of them would vote for & cheer for adult hitler as he strips away their rights and plans world domination

but on the topic of voting…….. can someone investigate into this quote from donald trump?? “He [elon] knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide”

united nations? nato? abraham lincolns ghost???? literally ANYONE????

Universities are deleting their accounts and leaving Musk's platform! I hope it means twitter will officially die and he'll see financial repercussions (the only thing that probably matters to him)
