Hello! I'm Meegs, and though this Tumblr is pretty new by Tumblr standards, I've been around for a long-ass time, formerly as audiodrops/thetailgunner.
No TERFs, No Tankies.
As of 03/01/24 my political and I/P posts are at @inlowearthorbit. Old ones will remain for posterity.
Note: This is not a political blog, but if you follow me and I check your blog and it is full of contextless screencaps of inflammatory rhetoric and blatant misinformation, I won't hesitate to block you.
A bit more About Me under the cut
I am in my early 30s, mom to a stupidly adorable dog (see tag "sputnikposting"), and work some kind of job that I complain about from time to time. I'm currently preparing to begin working towards a master's degree, which is, you know, terrifying, but no pressure.
My primary fandom is Hetalia, which I have been in for nearly fifteen years, because something something special interest hyperfixation something something. I'm also on the very edges of TURN: Washington's Spies fandom, though I've mostly fallen out of it. I also reblog from a variety of other fandoms, but as far as fanworks and meta go, it's pretty much all Hetalia from me.
You can find me on AO3 at ~ArtificialSatellite, where I'm currently posting my multichapter USJP AmRev isekai monstrosity Rouse Your Bold Heart. I also draw fanart, which can be found under the tag "my stuff." Hetalia meta is under "hetaposting."
(I also roleplay, primarily on Discord, so if you're interested hit me up here and we'll discuss it.)
Ships include USJP, PruHun, Fryingpangle, FrUK, GerIta, and like literally any other America ship that exists, I'm probably also into, but I live by a very ship-and-let-ship philosophy so it's really all gravy.
In addition to fandom stuff, I reblog a lot of posts about Judaism (under the tag "jewish stuff") and history (under the tag "history stuff"). I am decidedly to the left on most political matters, if you were wondering, and stand in support of those continuing to fight for democracy and peace in Israel.
Over the years I have learned that curating your own online experience is critical to fandom enjoyment, and as such, I block liberally in the face of shitty behavior directed at me or anyone, and that includes supporting or positively interacting with other people's shitty behavior. If you find yourself blocked by me and would like to know why, please see the sentence preceding this one.

Baseball posting when your team is doing good: Yay we’re so good we’re going to make it to the playoffs!!!! and maybe even win the World Series 👀👀👀?
Baseball posting when your team is doing bad: I suppose it was my fault for believing that the world was a kind place where hope prevailed over despair
Summerween is such a fucking bummer, it was fun when it was a little cartoon joke that people celebrated in a low-key way, but now the corporations got a hold of it and there's so much plastic bright colored "summerween-y" crap for sale and if you complain about the seasonal creep people will go "aww but it's not halloween it's SUMMERWEEN"
Look, I love Halloween. There's Halloween decorations that are part of my year round home decor. But it's not special if it's happening all the time, and this is 100% corporate cash grab bullshit
I dislike how Halloween has been creeping earlier and earlier into August. Spooky Season should be late September at the absolute earliest.
It feels like all the Halloween merchandise has been bought by October and now stores are stocking Christmas stuff during what should be prime Spooky Season. It's wrong!
I'm down for Halloween starting in September, and I even get a little excited to see stuff come late August, but JULY? JUNE??? ARE YOU SHITTING ME?
I had a Halloween party last year and had to order plates and shit from Amazon because by the time it came close enough to the party for me to think about buying that kinda stuff, IT WAS ALREADY GONE FROM THE STORES

Not gonna lie this makes me a bit irritated. Here's the real version of this photo:
Instead of a cutesie reference to film censorship it was an explicit statement of defiance of Maryland's criminalization gay sex, which was not repealed until 2002. This wasn't a guy saying "Oh they can't put what I do in the movies according to a completely voluntary industry code" he was saying "The State of Maryland wants to put me in jail for being gay and having gay sex."
It wasn't a guy being cheeky about sex in an ambiguous, cute way. It was a man stating, in no uncertain terms, that a whole state of the United States considered him a criminal for being homosexual.
The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be done with it and the sooner you can stop thinking about it. Go on, up you get, it won't be as bad as you think.
You won't want to do it later either. You might as well just do it now. Even if you don't finish it all, anything you manage to get done now is something you don't have to do later (when you still won't want to do it)
The problem that I have with the people the DSA is putting forward is that things like compromise and coalition building with people they don't agree with 100% of the time are antithetical to their ideology and the ideologies of the people who vote for them. And they don't understand concepts like harm reduction or many small wins adding up to a big one, so when they show up in congress they are unable to actually DO anything to advance their goals.
And while they're busy not getting anything done, they also shoot all the other Dems in the foot by refusing to cooperate with them, because they're [insert your favorite antisemitic conspiracy theory here]. So not only are they ineffective at ushering in their socialist utopia, they're ALSO making it harder or even preventing other Democrats from being able to pass bills that would help people, even if they're not perfect.
Honestly, I'm at the point where I'd rather vote for a centrist Democrat who is to the right of me on many issues than a leftist who better aligns with my beliefs because the centrist might actually pass a bill or two to make things better, whereas the only part of the leftist's entire platform that is achievable is "I'll fuck over anyone else in congress that can't pass my purity tests, including other Democrats."

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid
#i would describe my gender as not exactly ‘idk dude i just work here’ #more like…..when someone assumes you work somewhere that you don’t #but you know how to help them so you do it anyway #my gender is wearing a red shirt at a target
A portion of people in the notes are like ‘but that makes you trans. That’s called being agender’ and another portion of people are going ‘this is how the majority of cis ppl feel and it’s NOT agender’ and personally I feel like both of them are missing the point here. Yes a lot of people identify as agender because of this feeling. Yes a lot of people with this same feeling still identify as cis. These are not mutually exclusive experiences and it doesn’t mean the agender people are secretly cis or the cis people are secretly agender. It just means they have very similar experiences of gender that they choose to conceptualize and label differently, and neither of them are mistaken or wrong to do so.

If you're on here talking about the "normalization of the lds with dirty sodas" you sound like the gripless hooligans who were scaremongering about the "normalization of Israel with kosher food"
It's a fucking dr pepper with milk in it, it's not going to fucking kill you
The mormons are not converting the children with soda milk
