Well howdy there… I figured that even though I have a bit about me in my bio, I might as well make an about me post :)
Name: Tilly
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Sexuality: bi
Age: 20
I follow/like/ask etc. from @tigerlilyhasablog but its a bit of a ghost town, this is the fun blog :)
I’m American, and that’s where I live, but my mother is from England and I actually went to school there for a while
DNI: nazis, racists, homophobes, transphobes, terfs, pedos, “maps”, trump supporters, science-deniers, anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, or anyone who apologizes/sympathizes with anyone of those people. If you are an anti-trump republican, I have a bit more time for you, but I’ll tell you right now that I am hella leftist and disagree with you about basically everything, so I don’t really know why you are here🤷♀️
I am a political science major in college (about to be a junior next semester)
This blog is a big messy combo of political/social stuff, fandom, crack posts and whatever the hell else floats my boat
I flit in and out of fandoms, depending on what I’ve watched recently. My og fandom and why I made this blog is Marvel. Other stuff I’ve gotten into since then include Sherlock, The Umbrella Academy, The Witcher, Dark, Dear Evan Hansen, Hamilton, some DC stuff (mainly Wonder Woman + Birds of Prey), Lord of the Rings (this is definitely not an exhaustive list)
My main ships include: Steve x Bucky, Peter Parker x MJ, Sherlock x John, Carol Danvers x Maria Rambeau, Peggy Carter x Daniel Sousa, Geralt x Jaskier (again not exhaustive)
Would like to add that I will NEVER shame you for your pairings if they are different from mine, UNLESS you ship incest (yeah that includes adopted siblings) or any kind of pedo, adult/minor pairing
Also, I will NEVER mind if you ask me to tag anything!! Please just ask!!
Feel free to message or send me an ask, but fyi I’m kinda awkward when talking online… Never feel like you are bothering me, I’m just bad a text talking!🙈
Likewise, if you tag me in something and I never respond/reblog, its not that I’m ignoring you, I probably just forgot🙃Also, if I tag you in something, you are never obligated to keep it going!
Ok, I think that’s it! Lemme know if there is anything else you think I should include!
It’s because if we build trains like those commies in Europe (or invest in any public transportation infrastructure) it means The Poors might be able to get around easily and save money and shit commuting to their three jobs. Next thing you know, they’ll be invading your gated community and fucking up your golf course, and we can’t have that! 😱
I know where your coming from, but the US does have a rail network that connects one end to the other, you can get from LA to Boston, it as just not fast and requires transfers, just like a Lisbon to Moscow trip would. But yeah that’s proof that the “America is too big for trains” argument is complete bullshit.also yeah building a rail network that is large and accessible would help the poorest members of society, so we should do it, now
“The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I’m not a trannie or a fag so I don’t care, just give ‘em the medicine they need.”
“This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility.”
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
I think this is something young people in particular are confused about. My dad has always had a slightly off color sense of humor, he always feels the need to privately ask me “boy turned girl or girl turned boy?” if I mention a friend and stress said friend’s pronouns, and yet when we had repair work done in the house and the worker was listening to a podcast discussing the evils of transgender people and how to cleanse society, he went out of his way to contact the owner of the business to discuss his disappointment with that worker’s conduct and stress the negative effect that could have had if there had been trans kids in our home.
Our allies will never be perfect. They will never use the perfect language or have the perfect politics. But we have to appreciate those allies and meet them where they are, especially if they are willing to learn.
