Trying To Not Feel Doomed Tuesday

Yeah I know I’ve only been blogging random polls and incorrect quotes @effervescent-liminality. I am in need of ask inspiration!

Fiyero: Would you slap your best friend for a thousand dollars?

Elphaba, not looking up from her book: I would slap you and Galinda for free

Galinda and Fiyero, tearing up: … We’re your best friends?

Elphaba: You know you've made it when you see your picture everywhere you go.

Glinda: Those are wanted posters!

Fiyero: Why did you give Glinda a knife?

Elphaba: "She said she didn't feel safe."

Fiyero: "Now I don't feel safe."

Elphaba: *looks a Glinda running around giggling maniacally with a knife*

*side eyes nervous Fiyero*

*hesitates* "Do...Do you want a knife?"

Glinda: Elphie kissed me! Fiyero: And you kissed her back? Glinda: No, I kissed her mouth. God, you're so dumb, Fiyero!

Elphaba: Glinda, on a scale from 1 to 10, you're a 9. Glinda: What?! Why?! Elphaba: Because I'm the 1 you need. Glinda: But I'm a 10! Elphaba: Glinda, it's a pick up li- Glinda: No, I'm a 10!!!!

thanks to @trekbec82 for the suggestion!

Okay all -- few quick thoughts about the Elon Muskifying of the government, especially the takeover of the Treasury and associated financial data for every single US citizen and organization, that we are learning about in detail today.

Don't panic. This sounds bad, because it is bad. It's really, really bad. It's outrageously fascist bad. But we've still gotta take a deep breath and get through it.

This is the kind of shock-and-awe exercise of untrammeled fascist power where they are absolutely counting on gleefully terrorizing, paralyzing, and stunning you into mounting no resistance, or just giving up and giving in. They are literally live-tweeting it in real time and boasting about all the access and influence they have right now. They want you to know about it and feel like you can't do anything, so you might as well let it happen.

We have to show them that's not true.

TIME TO MAKE SOME NOISE. Because it's Sunday night, I've gone ahead and contacted my state Attorney General and both senators by email (but come Monday morning, we should all be calling). Here is the email that I wrote to my AG:

Dear Mr. [AG],

As you will be aware, today (February 2, 2025) the Trump administration has granted wide-ranging access to sensitive US Treasury data, including the personal and private information of [state] citizens, to Elon Musk's so-called "Department of Government Efficiency." Musk is an unelected private citizen who has no legal right to access this data, and is engaging in extensive intimidation and coercion to fulfill his personal and harmful ideological agenda. The present and material harm that this causes to US citizens, [state] residents, and basic laws of government, privacy, and financial security is direct, unconscionable, and actionable. I strongly urge you, in your capacity as [state] Attorney General, to file direct suit against the Trump administration, Elon Musk, the "DOGE" office, and any identifiable individuals who have taken part in this action, in order to protect consumer data, citizen privacy, and basic faith and trust in government.

All the best,

[Qqueenofhades]

Short! To the point! Doesn't waste time, tells him what I want him to do, how Elmo's nonsense directly harms the residents of my state, and why he should take action to stop it! And frankly, given how on-the-ball blue-state AGs have been thus far, they're probably already working on it. You are very welcome to copy-and-paste this message and fill in your AG's last name and your state as appropriate. Super easy to do. Takes five minutes. Call tomorrow.

If you are in a red state, your voice is particularly important right now. The Trumpsters are counting on and are even emboldened by blue state pushback, but you really need to make it start coming from Republican strongholds. Congressional Republicans will only feel the slightest amount of unease about docilely enabling this BS when it starts threatening their own personal power. Hit them where it hurts.

Other lawsuits are coming. Marc Elias, Democratic lawyer extraordinaire, is well aware of this situation and has noted on Bluesky that more lawsuits are in the works. He often wins his cases. This does not mean that you shouldn't loudly make noise elsewhere, but please remember that this is one of those 24-hour periods where, as noted, they are counting on demoralizing you with a nonstop blizzard of bullshit. It does not say anything about how this will play out long-term or the opposition that can and will be mobilized to stop it.

Once again: courage. Take the small steps that you can do today. Then take a breath and get off social media for a little while. Try to take the long view. One step at a time, we will get through this.

Courage.

I love the apothecary diaries fandom bc it’s just art/edits of the most drop dead gorgeous man in all of anime and everyone in the comments going “what a loser” LMAO

Jinshi doing drag for diplomatic relations is one of the reason why apothecary diaries is THE best.

Thanks for listening!

I awm the “Naive farmhand destined for greatness”

Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.

That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

Also, I forget to post…I have 40+ drafts

To people who followed me for one specific fandom, I am so so sorry

If I don’t answer, it’s not because I don’t like your question (probably). I don’t check my asks frequently

Reblog if it's okay to invade your ask box

Always

This blog hates and condemns anyone who is racist, anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, homophobic, ableist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, genocidal, anti-Semitic, fascist, etc!

Basically if you are a shit person, I hope you change. But in the meantime, don’t interact with my blog!!!

this blog hates donald trump

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy

I tried to scroll past this. I really did

Friend, sending a pic of the Wicked book with the movie cover: So this is the original novel, just with the movie cover? Me: Yep. Friend: Cool, I kinda want to read it. Me: Just be prepared that the book is very different than the musical. Friend: Okay, but which one is better? Me: Neither is better than the other. They're just very different--different emphasis, different plot points. It's like comparing a Grimm original to the Disney version.

most annoying man vs. world's strongest idgafker!! who will win!!

First off, spin this wheel.

You just landed on one of 200 fandoms that have been very popular somewhere on Tumblr over the years. Topics were chosen either from appearing on a @fandom end-of-year recap or from my own long (long, long) site memories before that.

also all of these fandoms are definitely things that really exist in the real world and none of them are Tumblr creations

Not even kidding that's literally what happens in the book 😭

just because elphaba is gay doesn't mean she's a friend of dorothy. in fact,

I'm convinced they had to delete this cause it counts as a sex scene

little ways to flirt and flounce

I’ve been a proud passenger on the Gelphie Express since I was in grade school!

So embarrassed to say this, but I listened to portions of the audiobook with my mom on the way to school. If you’ve read the book, you know, it’s DEFINITELY not a kids book!

what the FUCK do you MEAN they TITANTIC pose.

ive been laughing for 5 minutes they look so genuine and in the moment and they just had such an emotional scene of their "sisterhood", like yeah guys all friends intimately interlock fingers from behind

THERE WAS ROOM ON THAT BROOM!!!!!!

reblog this for good luck

Reblog if you've made at least one friend because of a fandom.

People only have so much patience for those of us with chronic illnesses, chronic pain, and or mental health difficulties.

At the beginning there is so much support (or at least more support) but when they realise you're not recovering as quickly as they'd like... you get avoided, isolated, told you're exaggerating, etc. They seldom think about how those of us with chronic issues feel. How overwhelming it is to deal with everything day in and day out. There is so much anxiety, depression, grief, etc when dealing with chronic issues regardless of what they are.

If you're even more isolated because people refuse to see how much you're struggling or you're not recovering "fast enough" for the people around you just know you're not alone! There are so many of us in the same boat too
