idk why i just remembered this but all throughout kindergarten and first grade i used to draw a lil snail in the corner of every paper i had to turn in because it was a happy snail so i thought it would make my teachers happy when they were grading papers because i was a pure and simple child but in 2nd grade my teacher would take off 2 points if i drew it on my homework and 5 points if i drew it on a quiz or test so i stopped but like
it was so harmless it was just a lil shitty doodle of a smiling snail it wasn’t distracting me or anything from the task at hand
so i’d like to say to mrs whoeverthefuck that snail was supposed to be a happy thing u bitch

PLEASE don’t be a person who doesn’t go out on tuesday because you think ‘my one single vote won’t make any difference’ lmao I’m beggin you please be rational during a time that clearly matters

I wonder from where so many Americans get the idea that voting is supposed to be some expression of your deepest, most beloved values and virtues rather than a pragmatic, political move meant to shift your country as much closer to your ideal as possible. This strikes me as another example of extreme individualism. Voting isn’t about *you*. It’s about your city, state, and/or country. It doesn’t have to feel transcendently good deep down in your bones. It just has to *do* as much good as you can do, in this particular moment in time.

“Of course this is how tumblr reacts in an election.”

No, it’s not.

This isn’t even close to how tumblr reacts in an election.

How do I know?

Because I was here. I was right on this website in 2012, when we didn’t have messaging or replies, when the ‘t’ was different and the tea was different and we said “what is air” way too much.

I was eighteen, in my first semester of college, unable to vote because nobody told me how to register until it was too late.

And I saw the occasional posts. Tumblr is a pretty liberal website so you mostly had videos and photos of Obama doing adorable/cool things. A few of us laughed at Mitt Romney’s attempt to say that he was diverse because he picked a lot of women to be on his cabinet. There was some panic. There always is. 

But it was nowhere near this bad.

Now I’m 22, in my fifth year of college, and you have bloggers pleading to vote for a specific candidate because they don’t want to be deported. You have posts upon posts upon posts where people are freaking out because they won’t survive going to conversion therapy. You have posts from people wondering if they’re still going to be allowed to called their partner their husband/wife. You have post after post after post talking about the latest black/Muslim/Latinix/etc. person to be harassed or attacked by a Trump supporter. You have posts about people already committing voter fraud and people threatening to show up to the polls holding guns. What we went through in 2012 is nothing compared to what we’re going through now. Both on tumblr and in the nation.

The fact that tumblr is reacting this strongly to this election is terrifying in and of itself. Because I can tell you that this is not how tumblr has reacted to elections before. Not even close. Because we knew that Mitt Romney would have been a bad president but at least millions of lives weren’t going to be in danger, at least millions of families and homes weren’t going to be broken up, at least there would still be some positive aspects, at least we could make the best out of a bad situation. 

Tumblr’s posts are ugly right now because this election is ugly, one of the ugliest in history.

Hi tumblr…so. I wanted to provide you with an update on something I’ve been dealing with alone and in silence because I’m tired of feeling silenced and I need people to know what I’m dealing with and help support me through it.

I’m an undergraduate student at UNCW who happens to be queer as well as a muslim immigrant, and I have spent the last two years of my life being harassed relentlessly by a tenured professor who insists on comparing me to ISIS, sending his students and supporters after me to make death threats, writing blog posts about me claiming it’s not possible for me to be queer and muslim, slandering me in his classes, and ultimately doing everything he can to use his power, privileges, and platforms over me to make my life hell to try and stop me from speaking out against injustice. The university has been letting him do this since my freshman year and it’s only gotten worse these past few months.

This professor (who is 30+ years older than me, by the way) wrote an article about me called ‘A ‘Queer Muslim’ Jihad?’ outing me, comparing me to militant Islamic groups, attacking my intelligence, diagnosing me with mental illnesses I don’t have, and just being the most despicable kind of person you could be.

And if the article ITSELF wasn’t bad enough the comments are even better! :) 

Not to mention that, because he used my full name, his supporters have been blowing up my Facebook with horrible comments and really despicable threats. Almost all of these people being 40+ year old white men doing this to a 19 year old girl.

I tried to talk to my university about this and let them know that I was tired of having to defend myself, my name, my sexuality, my religion, my EVERYTHING from a professor who is in a higher position of power over me and they told me they couldn’t do anything because he’d just sue the university. 

And I’m just tired. I’m really, really tired. And I want all of you to see what the fuck I’ve been having to deal with and know why I legitimately do not want to continue my education somewhere where I continuously have to be called a jihadist. I don’t want to be threatened anymore. I don’t want to be demeaned. I don’t want to be stuck in an environment that deems this sort of behavior as okay. And I don’t know what to do.

Here’s a link to the article though. [x]

 Read it and see the things I’ve been forced to hear about me and my religion and my sexuality all for the sake of getting an education. 
Read it and see all the hatred that people of color are forced to combat just to be able to get a degree.
Read it and see how fucking hard it is for black women to succeed anywhere because people like this will say/do anything to bring us down.
Read it and understand that if a professor wrote about a white student this way it would have never been acceptable, but he knows he can get away with it because nobody cares about harassment against black students.
Read it and understand how fucked up society is. 
And please help me figure out what to do, because I legitimately feel like I’m drowning.

BOOSTING THIS I don’t know how to help, but someone out there does.

Wish I could offer some real advice here. If the article is inaccurate enough you may be able to sue him for libel and have the article removed, but you would have to talk to a lawyer about that. Regardless, you shouldn’t have to resort to getting a lawyer to deal with a professor who has left such a blatant trail, the school should take action.

Mike S. Adams, professor of criminology at UNC-Wilmington. His profile says he’s been a high-profile conservative/Republican for a lot of years and won a major “free speech” court case against the UNCW in 2011 so the university may be reluctant to take action against him for those reasons?

Doesn’t give many details other than it was ruled the university can’t “discriminate on the basis of the professor’s viewpoint” in his published columns and speeches when he applied for tenure, etc., but it may have something to do with this

I have to reshape this because I am downright disgusted. I’ve been following this account for a couple months but I had no idea what this woman was actually going through. Whatever you believe this straight up antagonism this grown man has for this woman is rooted so deeply in prejudice and is so vile I can’t believe this man is in a position of power. I am at a loss for words. I want so badly to help her but I don’t even know what to do.

I wanted to give you guys some people you can e-mail. I don’t know if it’ll make much of a difference, but if you want to reach out to my university administration and let them know you feel like this is unacceptable I’d really appreciate it.
