I feel confident enough to post these now. A collection of all the existing posters after some edits from the other post that got 13k notes! These are full size/quality. Go nuts.
You may use them for wallpapers, tabletop campaigns, whatever. Consider tipping me (do people use kofi for that or tumblr’s built in system? Let me know what you prefer) or buying a print or sticker here! If you do use them, let me know what for, or send pictures!
The atomic bombings did not save lives. They didn’t end the war. The Japanese leadership didn’t even respond to them. We had already so thoroughly brutalized Japan at that point that the loss of two medium sized cities was a drop in the bucket. We annihilated over 30 Japanese cities before we dropped the bombs. The real reason we dropped them was to demonstrate to the Soviets that we had them. The Japanese surrendered because the Soviets were also about to launch an invasion and the Japanese Empire knew they’d get better terms negotiating with us.
Isn’t this just reverse saying trans men can’t wear skirts? Is it not the exact same thing?
What.
For real though, the Japanese had been TRYING to surrender since that January. The terms they offered were basically the same as the terms we accepted, so it’s not like they weren’t trying hard enough. 100% mass murder to prove to the Soviets we were willing to use it.
Something something about how Beren and Luthien’s burial place being a mystery reflects their fate as mortals not being bound to the world: No one really knows where they went.
Imagine being a tuna (Atlantic bluefin, Thunnus thynnus). You are a super predator, over six feet long and almost a ton. You are as beautiful and shiny and mercilessly efficient as a sports car, a true marvel of the sea. But you taste so fucking good
I agree with you and also think this is some kind of philosophical point. Cruel efficiency will not save you when you have soft delicious insides
i have good news for the person who wrote that tag and bad news for sports car drivers
I was like, ok, pause button. This sounds fake and designed to get me riled up.
No
It’s fucking real
It was in February.
Update 3/14/2023: luckily it hasn’t gotten past “introduced” but the fact it’s even on the table??? Horrifying, really.
It was never about protecting the children or upward mobility via capitalism.
Yall do realize that eliminating public schools is literally exactly and precisely the OPPOSITE of what fascists did?
Y'all also realize that even without a federal Department of Education, individual states can still have public education?
Please disband the DOE. It was formed in 1979, we had all kinds of public schools before then, just ask your parents or grandparents.
Fed needs to be kicked out of as many corners of our lives as possible, too much overreach.
Get rid of the federal student loan program while they’re at it, let the colleges use their endowments to pay that and then they can be liable for the outcome when they look at what programs they have that will actually result in a graduate that can pay back the money they borrowed.
“it is so horrifying that someone wrote down the sentence ‘the Department of Education shall terminate,’ even if nobody voted on it or debated for it or did anything past writing the sentence down. this is definitely fascism. and capitalism. which are words that have very clear definitions and are not at all meaningless snarls I use to mentally blob together everything that makes me upset as if it was a unified movement I am heroic for standing up to”
- Don’t get my hopes up like that
- Imagine thinking that abolishing the DoE would eliminate all public schools in the U.S.
- Imagine thinking that removing federal control over local schools is fascism
imagine being so fascist that you want to abolish a branch of government
