This is a great example, actually, of “look for yourself before you reblog bullshit posts that make you feel good about whatever political points you’re trying to score in place of actually caring.”
Because while Clinton did sign the bill, he signed it because it passed with a supermajority in both GOP-held houses, meaning it could not be vetoed. Some Democrats in the House and Senate voted for the bills to be sure, but claiming that this was something Clinton had any control over is bullshit of the highest order. The government simply doesn’t work that way.
But learning even the tiniest bit about how our government works is too hard. Posting screencaps is so much easier and more satisfying.
So a thing about the bit, with Steven getting his gem pulled out, and Gem!Steven showing up?
We see the scene from Steven’s point of view, after- and his vision is split.
As is, he sees his fleshy body with one eye-
- and the Gem!Steven forms and sees what they see from his other eye- and we can safely say Gem!Steven has the same vision.
Steven is confused and hurting- but, despite the horror of the situation, he bursts into tears, because he’s suddenly feeling desperate.
“I have to-”
“I need-”
Reaches out towards Gem!Steven, weeping, begging to be reunited- and Gem!Steven evidently feels the same, as there is no hesitation as they start walking towards Steven
I see people saying ‘They are a fusion’ but… no, not really?
They are part of a whole that has been sepparated physically, but mentaly they are still one.
Two pieces struggling to find each other, so they could form and be whole again.
Like the gem shard in the Cluster, really.
Or any gem- any shattered gem.
So I am proposing Steven just experienced what is essentially being shattered.
One of these days Yellow Diamond is gonna cry and reprimand Blue Diamond for making her do it but Blue’s eyes will be dry and Yellow will be like “aw fuck it’s me”
Whenever conservative young white people post memes about how “ahaha my generation can’t even start a lawnmower how are they gonna start a revolution”, you can make them shit their pants by saying “yeah it won’t be other young middle class white people of your generation who starts revolutions you’re right. It’ll definitely be the people who make your phones, clean your house, mow your lawn yes, and other labour intensive jobs across the global south and here in Canada too, and we’ll just follow their lead”.
also controversial opinion here but like… if u got a problem w someone and they respectfully approach u about it and u dismiss them without even telling them what they did wrong to supposedly upset you, it’s immature and contributes to a toxic environment that represses growth
worse yet if you are the type who purposely puts up a front, acting like you are totally okay with a person you despise to their face and act like their friend while shit talking them behind their back? that’s also fucking childish and toxic! if you think that’s okay to do, please stay far the fuck away from me!
