I need ya’ll to realize running back to TikTok like nothing fucking happened is exactly what this motherfucker wants. He wants you to run back and to be grateful. He wants you to forget that the Supreme Court has just passed something that indicates they can pursue intense censorship and remove our access to free speech and non-propagandized/monitored spaces whenever they want. He wants you to be so focused on all this that you completely forget that he’s about to pass at least a hundred horrific policies stripping us of our rights as soon as this week. He wants you to stop talking about Palestine who is still in danger and is in desperate need of aid despite the ceasefire. He wants you to turn your attention away from all the people in LA suffering thanks to the fires.
I don’t want to say it’s just an app, because it’s not. I was incredibly sad about losing TikTok yesterday. Many of us had a community that meant a great deal to us torn away suddenly and I am not saying we shouldn’t be upset about that. But I am saying that as much as the Supreme Court has more important things they should be focusing on over banning TikTok we have more important things to do then run back to an app that was obviously used for a publicity stunt by Trump and will inevitably be influenced by him and his fascism.
We’ve been discussing boycotting Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and other Meta platforms due to their connections to Trump and his posse of billionaires. TikTok must be treated the same way so long as the CEO and company is in Trump’s pocket.
I don't believe for a second that tiktok being back is a good sign.
Don't forget- starting Tuesday the Trump Administration is going to begin mass deportations in several major cities across the country. My theory is that they are bringing back tiktok as a distraction to take focus away from the raids.
If it does come back, don't let them use it against us. Keep organizing, keep informing, keep building community. It's not Us VS Them, it's Up VS Down. Never forget that.
What you may have missed with the TikTok ban going into effect is an Appeals Court just ruled DACA illegal two days before Trump takes office again with the promise carry out mass deportation starting on day 1.

there’s nothing wrong with overly self-indulgent shit like honestly
make that fuckin beauty and the beast au with your otp
draw your favorite character broken and bloody for no reason
make a self-insert that’s super important and powerful
write porn of that obscure ship centered entirely around your personal kinks
headcanon your faves as your sexuality, gender, etc
have fun man
i mean in the past i’ve made fun of all these things but i’ve grown up and chilled out and honestly? fiction is your platform to go nuts. have a great time. do what you want to
just respect other people’s boundaries and don’t go forcing your headcanons down other people’s throats, because they deserve to have a good time too
enjoy fiction however you want to and don’t let other people tell you how it’s supposed to be enjoyed

So much for "we just want them to follow the law, come here legally."
MAGA is poison. All who touch will die.
me when i first watched arcane season 2: OMGG HOLY SHITT THIS SEASON IS FRICKING AMAZING THE WRITING AND ANIMATION HOLY CRAP YESSSS CAITVI AND JAYVICK LETS GOOOOO THE MUSIC OH MY GOD THE MUSIC YESSSSSS
me now that it’s been a few months to fully process arcane season 2: Yeah the animation was beautifully done and the foreshadowing done by the animators is amazing and absolutely one of the best ways any animation studio has gone about telling a story, the music was astounding and every single song was immaculately executed. And the portrayal of the characters by the VA’s was done beautifully.
My friend: …What about the writing??
Me: Oh it was absolute dog shit.
