I Think The Reason Why The Assassination Of Julius Caesar Is One Of The Funniest Political Assassinations

Everytime this is reblogged, JK Rowling steps on a lego

Trope where there’s one girl in a group of guys but then over the course of the series they all eventually realize that they’re trans and start transitioning and it turns out that all along it was one guy in a group of girls.

I hope every single person who puts nice comments in tags under reblogged art knows that you you guys are the backbone of society. Being an artist online sucks these days, but here on tumblr I still get compliments under artworks that I made years ago. I hope you know every WOW and heart emoji and heartfelt compliment and funny comment you left in the tags is part of the reason I kept drawing all these years, in spite of everything that was going on.

I've been screenshotting the nice tags I get for years, and at this point it would be literal thousands of lines if I still had my old files. I love u tumblr users <333333333

Wait why the hell wasn't i following you until now??? Hi mutual!!

Hi!!! You’re one of my favorite writers on here!!! 🥰🥰🥰

This Thanksgiving remember that the actual story of how Thanksgiving became a holiday is because of one singular old lady writing to the White House for 11 years that there needed to be a day to celebrate coming together as a family in a time of constant war and separation, particularly the middle of the Civil War, until Abraham Lincoln finally got tired of her and gave her the day.

The myth that we usually believe is the “First Thanksgiving,” that being the “congregation” between indigenous people and the Pilgrims of the Mayflower, was only because the leader of the said indigenous group knew the mutual language due to earlier slavery. The Puritans refused to eat with “savage Indians.” They stole their cropping techniques, and then slaughtered them all via internal warfare and intentional smallpox infestation.

The son of the chief had his head put on a pike that stayed in the town square for 50 years afterwards. 

You can see more here: 

So the moral of the story that you should remember for this Thanksgiving:

1. The legacy of colonization of baked into every single aspect of American culture

2. Try to respect the 566 indigenous nations in the United States that are left because they are deprived of rights, American citizenship, and any living history

3. Consistently writing to your local office and federal government might actually make a change

4. The only way to unite a country going through conflict, especially America, it was to make your voice heard, and make sure those in power no the necessity of overcoming prejudice

5. Turkey was not native to the section of America where the Pilgrims landed

Happy Thanksgiving, my people.

This tag just makes it 1000x better

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

I HAVE WAITED ALL YEAR TO POST THIS
