I feel like the only reason those of us who aren't in the US are watching the inauguration today is the sort of morbid curiosity that makes people watch a car crash. It honestly feels like I'm watching people's lives and freedoms be crushed in real time.
QUICK. RB THIS WITH THE FIRST SONG LYRIC THAT COMES TO YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU SEE THIS POST. THAT IS AN ORDER
Hello,
My name is CJ and I’m a trans man. I grew up in a small town in North Carolina and I still live there today. My dad is a Chilean immigrant and he came to this country when he was only 8, spending most of his life in the beautiful land of Puerto Rico. My mom grew up in Florida (where I was born) and has mainly Irish ancestry. I have two older brothers, both in college. One attends Juilliard, the other UNCC. Most of my friends are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. I also have friends who are children of immigrants, just like me.
When I was born, it was induced by medication and I was born 8 weeks early due to a disease my mom had contracted while pregnant with me. We both survived thanks to the doctors and nurses who helped my mom deliver me safely. Due to my premature birth, I have struggled my whole life with chronic illness and disability.
I am telling you all of this because I am scared. Tomorrow is November 5th, Election Day, and depending on who wins I may be in serious danger.
Please, for the sake of me, my friends, my family, the trans community, the chronically ill, the disabled community, immigrants, immigrant families, women who need access to healthcare, and EVERY. SINGLE. American citizen…
💙VOTE BLUE💙
I don’t want my rights to be taken from me.
It's crazy that the usa is constantly threatening it's allys like does it know that mexico is its ally like?? How the media and politicians treat mexico is so crazy when you keep in mind that mexico and us are allies. Like I know that us politicians are racist assholes with racist bigot bases that they are trying to cater to, but fuck man.
And recently now Canada is now getting hate by us politicians (trump mainly). It's so disrespectful to treat allies like constant potential enemies.
They want us to have no peace, only perma-war.
silent.
I do not usually like to discuss politics as I find that there is far too much negativity, and I feel as though I’m not as educated enough to properly discuss this topic, but I feel the need to speak out on this.
as we know, Trump was elected and beat Harris in the presidential race.
today there is uncertainty in America. We are at a standstill. There is no telling what horrors await for us, yet we must stand together and be strong
I want to send my support, love, and prayers to all who will be affected by this horrible event.
My friends and I have decided to take today as a day of silence, to silently protest, but also to mourn the past and future of what our lives will become.
if you wish to join in our day of silence, we gladly support.
Stay safe everyone, take care of one another, love each other as I love you, and keep faith that this too shall pass
Whelp I just heard what was either a gunshot or a car backfiring and I want to go home now, america is so fun
The shit that is currently happening in the world is mental and absolutely horrifying. America just bombed Yemen, ICE is apparently kidnapping international students and making them disappear, the war in Palestine is still ongoing, Congo is going through a silent holocaust, war in Sudan between 2 groups, and MUCH MUCH more is going on, when will this end?! When will we ever know peace?! Why is it always violence?!
Some of yall needed to hear this

I really like this guy's voice, also it's very accurate.
(Sound on.) We’re all doomed.
Since it seems to be getting removed from a lot of places.
I just find the sentence "a question of sufficient luigi" hilarious
When I first tumbld into Tumblr, I thought the ancient one's writing juices would flow into me and I would become a true tumblr immediately. But I was wrong and now I must tumbl until this happens.
Welp
I just read AP News’ article in every executive order that Trump has done and it’s only day 3.
I’ve never wanted a Death Note so badly.
Chat, is it wrong to send my therapist a TikTok? At 11:15pm?
Recession core but being away at school. My mom called me to talk but then proceeded to get into a fight with my dad while I’m stuck on the phone listening. Feels just like 2008
THE OPENIG SONG IS GIVING EVEN BETTER VIBES SOMEHOW, like it’s so bowling for soup to the max!!!
Guys. Watching Phineas and Ferb in Spanish. This shit is fire. THE FIRST EPISODE IS INSANE! ITS SO UNHINGED AND THEN SOMEHOW THE CHARACTERS ARE JUST CUNTIER IN SPANISH. Like they’re just insane. AND THE ENTIRE PLOT WITH PERRY US JUST
This man cannot be real. For reference he’s claiming the last time he got the flu would have been prior to 2008.
Man life does really be like that sometimes huh.
Hey. Just heard about the electrical tariff war between the US and Canada. This was not the dystopia 2020 me was expecting.
You ever open social media and just *cry
Oh god. My daily reminder that I’m depressed.
The AM radio propaganda I am hearing right now is actually terrifying. We are not being “ripped off by the entire world” sir. That would be the attempt for the party to make you feel nationalism a very dangerous mindset that costs millions of lives for someone’s ego and fanaticism.
It’s snowing and I’m not gonna lie, I thought they were lying. It was like almost 50° yesterday. This morning it was 45°. I thought they were lying. And now there’s snow all over the place. Fuck.
TikTok has been down for like 12 hours and I can already see exactly how no other app is going to be able to offer what TikTok does. I always see the memes of oh when AO3 is down or crashes immediately in real time everyone’s reactions on this app are like sound the alarm. But that’s kinda only for that specific instance. TikTok did that for EVERYTHING! The ceo death, instant reactions from all sides, the cease fire, opinions analysis and takes across the board. Now, I went omg people must be blowing up that is actually happened like how they were the past few weeks but on the other platforms now, and the reality is that no other platform can give the same instantaneous reactions and unfiltered responses as things happen. No matter your stance on if you like TikTok or not it has to be acknowledged that this is such a huge form of censorship and limitations from allowing people to actually connect with one another.
I think of how “trends” used to take years to spread from the bigger cities like New York to the smaller areas states over. Or even across the ocean from Italy to here, etc. but as technology advanced the physical gap of distance became ideologically shorter as we were able to connect closer and closer to real time with one another but the second we achieved a platform the facilitated that in a raw form, it was taken down and removed. I wonder who benefits the most from division of people dependent on location, socialization, and ideology confinement?
Most people on this app are consumers of media and information that varies from topic to topic and format to format but the one thing that is consistent amongst us all is that we are impacted by the content we seek and what find us. We find ourselves within it and eachother as we form communities and create connections. Something that is seen across so many fandoms and forms of media is the destruction of division and people seeking total control, as well as the the societal repercussions that come from actions claiming to be for the better while in reality perpetuating these motifs.
The world has always been a place of turmoil. It has always had these dark moments. WE (the common people) just never had the ability to SHARE our perspectives and be HEARD by others. We have never been able to form emotional connections without shared experience in real time. There have always been people that are selfish and seemingly evil just for the sake of being evil but when those things would happen, people couldn’t do much more than endure. And eventually when endurance ran short and people became fed up change would happen, but it could only be made by the individuals experiencing these darknesses. Now we have created channels of support, community and awareness that allow for endurance and education. It allows for new options to be explored and perceived. That’s been snuffed out time and time again through banned books, canceled media, government interference and the monetary control of main news and information distribution. Eventually endurance will run out as it has in the past and we the people now have the knowledge of something different. Of lives spent without these sources of turmoil and alternative solutions to problems within our control.
Do not go silent into the night. We can not regress into a technological darkness as websites are being bought out, controlled, monitored and censored to strip the common people of their resources, communities and opportunities for growth. Survival and endurance are the current focuses of so many of us, but for those in a place of power, a place of privilege, and a place of compassion, that can see the other side, have connected across the social barriers they continue to construct and have begun dismantling the divisions that try to force us to forget that we are all humans, one in the same, creatures of the earth and souled beings capable of intense beauty and intense pain.
