Don't let this die. Taylor Swift is the Pollution Queen now. We need meme edits with her photoshopped onto backgrounds of wildfire-ravaged landscapes and oil refineries chugging out black smoke.
Photo of smudgy black eye shadow? That's THE Taylor Swift-inspired look now, it represents fossil fuels.
We need parodies of Taylor Swift songs about pollution and killing polar bears.
Give her representatives a full-time job for the rest of their lives defending her from the phrase "Pollution Queen." Make this meme a the figurehead of an entire fleet of other celebrity-terrorizing memes.
"But this doesn't dismantle the system that—" Shut. Don't care. Isn't it great that such a huge portion of environmental damage is being done by human individuals with egos, whose feelings can be hurt when people are mean?
Money can save you from physical harm, but can it save you from looking ridiculous?
I think the reason why people would be pro-draco but anti-snape is for a few reasons.
Raising your own kid to be hateful and bigoted can be considered it's own form of abuse(something similar happened to Dudley. The point where this stops being abuse is when they're old enough/have the opportunity to gain perspective. Draco, Dudley, and Severus all get that change in perspective)
Reader's/watcher's can more clearly tell the driving force behind Draco's words and actions because it gets brought up all the time(up until book 5, reader's don't get anything except hindsight for Severus' story)
While Severus did change sides and redeem himself, he was a dick to most of his students and made it very clear that fairness wasn't a high priority(I understand that this was to uphold his reputation so he could continue to be a spy, and to try and counteract the Slytherin bias, but 2 wrongs still don't make a right or brownie points
TL;DR: Raising a kid to be a bigot is abuse, let's not play into trauma olympics. Severus' abuse and trauma didn't get enough page time Severus continued to be a dick post-redemption. Draco had his redemption at the tail-end of the series and didn't get time to continue being an ass or not
Do the “Draco was just a boy, Snape was an adult!” crowd realize that Severus is significantly younger in the books? Severus was only 20-21 when he turncoaked The Deatheaters and become a spy, the brain doesn’t develop impulse control and non-b&w thinking until 25 at the absolute earliest and prolonged trauma (which Severus had and Draco didn’t) physically damages the brain, slowing that process down.
Severus was groomed as a teenager (about the same age as Draco was) into a rising cult by an, at the time, charismatic young Tom Riddle who was at his height of manipulation and power. And Severus was canonically abused by a muggle man and by Gryffindors mercilessly his whole developing years. That crowd incessantly fanons that Draco was “abused” by his parents when he wasn’t but hate Severus like make it make sense.
Sorry for a serious post but as this blog was originally made as a reminder not to trust every “fact” you read on tumblr:
There appear to be troll/anti-abortion blogs posting self abortion advice that will get people killed. Posts sending people to religious fanatics instead of legitimate info resources. Posts advocating avoiding real medical assistance in favor of self harm and more.
We have all seen the reality-shredding lies that got this country where it is today, and you can expect them to continue, taking advantage of panic and fear as always to harm us.
Do research. Find resources you trust. Talk to people you trust. But for the love of god:

Oh fuck yes Twitter is bringing back the 1970’s Maoist approach to gayness
If anyone needs a new period tracker app, Planned Parenthood’s free period tracker app Spot On doesn’t sell your data and it’s only saved locally to your device so only you can access it. I transferred over my cycle history from Flo and deleted it and its data, took 5 minutes.
this is the funniest god damn thing ive ever seen
Wrist shivs seem more practical for such fine motor skills
least favorite thing about evolution is how the appendix exists and is functionally useless-cum-harmful, and meanwhile humans STILL haven't evolved elbow shivs
