I realize that people make human AU Pearl young and stuff b/c it’s more relatable but please consider with me that human Pearl would be the weird ex-military neighbor who wakes up at 5 am every morning and calls the cops if the recycling truck leaves the bin in front of her mailbox and keeps to herself a lot and breaks out a leaf blower half the size of her body to sweep 6 maple seedpods of her front sidewalk. She’s got Rose’s flag hanging on one of those brackets on the porch. Every week or so her son comes over for dinner and promises the neighbor kids that his mom’s super nice if you get to know her she just likes everything just so and meanwhile she’s leaning out the screen door like “steven move the bin out of the way of the mailbox” “okay” “that’s a federal offense you know” “i know you tell me every time i’m here”
There’s 6 cars up on blocks in the backyard and every spring she trims the lilac hedges with a sword
This post has over a thousand notes now and when I look through the tags half of them are just ‘oh my god’ and I think that says it all
Buttercup is announcing his decision to pull out of the Paris agreement right now.
I tried watching it, but I can’t.
This asshole would try to withdraw from an oxygen-sharing agreement if Obama had brokered it. Indeed, one could argue that that’s what he’s actually doing right now.
The US is now officially done with being a world leader. In addition to what this likely means for the planet, this is one of the most isolating and antagonistic things, from a world-relations point of view, that Buttercup could have done.
Good luck, rest of the world. I hope you can pull the planet in the right direction. We will go to work on Buttercup, Pruitt, and this criminal administration; but don’t wait for us, this is going to be a very long fight.
The Weather Channel has decided, evidently, to lead the resistance:
I suppose this will change, but right now, there are eight stories featured on the homepage about climate change, with titles I would almost call…troll-y.
By the way, the Guardian has a piece about the 22 Republican Senators who signed a letter encouraging Buttercup to pull out of the agreement:
The Republicans who urged Trump to pull out of Paris are big deal oil darlings
Are you represented by one of them? Do you have time to make a phone call today and let his staffers know how you feel?
Also, there’s going to be an emergency demonstration outside the White House at 5 PM organized by a group called 350 DC. If you’re in the DC area you should be able to find the Facebook event by searching.
God, I feel sick. He has zero grasp of what he’s doing, all he understands is that he’s sticking it to Obama.
All empires fall; America was going to someday lose its supremacy. I just didn’t realize it would happen in my lifetime, nor that it would be deliberately thrown away by a mental toddler to please his xenophobic fluffer.
Adding more links of people who aren’t happy:
Robert Iger has resigned from the President’s Council over this. I’ve also seen reports that Elon Musk is resigning too, but I don’t have a source.
Historically, there are major four groups that have commonly been described as “adventurers”:
a. Pirates and bandits who realised that the real money lay in getting people to pay them to go pillage someone else;
b. Members of the idle rich who wandered about robbing tombs and subjugating the locals for fun rather than for profit, often distinguishable from the first group only by the presence of a “Sir” before their names;
c. People who just wanted to look at birds, but it sort of got out of hand; and
d. Lesbians.
Now, I’m not saying that this taxonomy would make a reasonable basis for a class system in a tabletop roleplaying game, but I’m not not saying it either.
D&D but your only class choices are Pirate, The Idle Rich, Birdwatcher, and Lesbian.
