You know what I don’t really like?

I’ve been struggling to put it into words and its…. still weird.

But I don’t like this recent trend of holograms of people who are dead.

Its…. weird? It feels like… abuse of the dead? like they can’t advocate for themselves?

Whats stopping someone from…. I dunno.

Bringing back a ‘version’ of Carrie Fisher and using her to sell products? With no thought to if she would have wanted that?

You don’t have to pay the dead money, and it’s very unlikely that a lot of people are going to have a clause in their will like “any use of my holographic version is limited to X” or something.

Like Frank Sinatra selling out a concert 50 years after his death. Would it be cool? YES.

I just don’t think its…. moral? It feels a bit like disrespecting personhood. Like another small step thats just eating away at what is actually YOURS.

Desecrating the dead for capitalism is the latest trend in necromancy, apparently

the thing twitter has over tumblr is the ability to have handles next to your url which is especially good in the case of environmental storytelling, for example the person that tweeted something like “every time a gay person [does something nonserious] I go to chick fil a” as an obvious joke and their handle in the screenshot was “[name] the GAY IM GAY” you really cant get that level of storytelling here

the fact we’re responsible for getting doctors to “lower their defenses” in order to literally just do their jobs is ✨INFURIATING✨

Also have seen a tip where you say “My aunt so and so told me she had these symptoms before she was diagnosed with XYZ. It really scared me that hers almost got missed. Could we please exhaustively rule this out? It really messed her up because they caught it so late and I don’t want that to happen to me, and hey, it might not be a bad idea to check that stuff anyway.”

Ridiculous that we have to do this, but until medicine gets it’s shit together we have to wrap what we already know in cheese, like you would pill a dog.

And yeah, bringing someone with you can help a lot, especially adult and traditionally masculine men. Disgusting!

I’ve started telling my friends “tell the doctor you’ve spoken with disabled friends and folks with the same symptoms if you can’t say a family member” and most of the time the feedback was considered more often than not.

Doctor doesn’t need to know your Aunt Janice is not real, just saying. I have a very imaginary sister.

Hey 18 - 29 year olds,

THANK YOU! You made a difference. You may not see the overwhelming, immediate, desirable results. Please do not be discouraged. But you stopped more really horrible things from happening. Times are hard. So many people are struggling. But you showed up! Please keep showing up. Please become leaders. Please keep voting in EVERY ELECTION. You are a huge generation full of love, light, equality, and determination to see justice for marginalized people. Use your voices, lead, and VOTE😺💗🌸

What you have done is prevent fascism from spreading unchecked. It may not feel like much, it may feel like you’re shoveling shit from a sitting position (so much of politics feels like that), but I promise you, I PROMISE YOU:

Showing up like this, in a giant bloc, is how Republicans managed to go from “we disagree but we’re sane” to absolute unfettered madness in the space of 40 years. They pushed the Overton window so, so far right.

Keep showing up. Because that is how we push it back left, and make all those things we want—universal healthcare and housing assistance and trans equality and disability rights—HAPPEN.

Y’all did good. Y’all did so, so good. Thank you. Now please, please—keep it up. It’s a long fight and feels endless. But you just showed IT CAN BE WON.
