I want my 30s to be the happiest, healthiest and wealthiest era of my life. I’m praying they will be🙏🏾

I feel like I'm gonna rattle a few cages here but can we please talk about how much it sucks as a young person still trying to avoid Covid seeing all your previous role models not give a fuck anymore.

Like yes I'm talking somewhat about teachers and people in the community who you look up to as a kid. Who you used to think were all knowing and kind and considerate. Maybe they were even the people who taught you about basic biology or critical thinking or historical periods of eugenics.

But mostly I'm talking about the music artists and youtubers and other influencer-type people. The ones who built careers off of telling teenagers that "everything seems doomed now but you can get through this" and "fuck the people who think you're weird, you're infinitely valuable." The ones who told us we weren't alone and who we clung to through waves of utter hopelessness and self hatred and suicidal ideation.

Now where are they? At best, they're ignoring the ongoing pandemic. Not bothering to use their huge platforms to speak out about the continued mass death and disablement. Never putting a penny towards Long Covid research. More often than not, they're hosting sell out tour shows and meet and greets in places around the world. In simple terms: superspreader events. And not a single thought about or mention of mitigation.

Like. Okay, even if we work on the assumption that Covid is only dangerous for already sick/disabled people (it's not). That's bullshit. Everyone matters right? We're all important and our mental health is important. But fuck us if we want to be included right? Fuck us if we want to see the people who dragged us kicking and screaming through adolescence with the promise itll get better. They don't give a fuck if their shows lead to permanent disablement or death, so long as there's money in their pockets.

I mean sometimes, sometimes these people seem to care about other causes. They post about Palestine. They talk about gay rights. Gotta keep up the good image. But as soon as they have to look beyond the surface level atrocity- to see that disease is part of the gazan genocide or that systemic inequalities still mean LGBT people are at higher risk of Long Covid- they squeeze their eyes shut.

So yeah, in conclusion, fuck these people. They're hypocrites, and seeing the way their behaviour has evolved has created its own layer of pandemic grief.

Children of September 11

Shadows in the sky so high As the towers screamed to the ground Fear in the eyes of a child Echoes of silence all around

World turned to gray that day Memories in a young heart stay Flames and smoke lit up the screen Haunting dreams don't fade away

Hearts breaking everywhere Lives lost in the burning air I can't forget the screams and fire Living now in fear's desire

8 years old with eyes so wide Innocence lost deep inside Watching the world come crashing down Nowhere safe in my hometown

Years pass but the scars remain Living through this endless pain Trying to heal what's broken within Strength to rise and begin again

Hearts breaking everywhere Lives lost in the burning air I can't forget the screams and fire Living now in fear's desire

Before Tim Burton reimagined Alice in Wonderland, the Disney Channel put their own modern spin on the beloved children's book in the early 90's. Subscribe to Defunctland for more in-depth analysis videos!

90s kids got into media and where like “no you can’t have joy and fun you have to watch my pretentious edgy version of superhero”

We were born to go against the grain Stay truthful over everything We're bound to do whatever we like We were born to go against the grain No matter what the people say We're bound to do whatever we like And that's life

you have GOT to remember when watching the new doctor who that the question is not is this good. doctor who is only ever actually 'good' once a season at most. THE ONLY QUESTION IS is it fun, camp, and has aliens. also remember the worst doctor who showrunner is always the current doctor who showrunner. now go watch the new episodes as god intended like you're ten years old and still remember how to experience joy and whimsy.
