Edinburgh Festival and Fringe and Festival of Politics: Day 22 - 23

Oh I’m tired mate. It’s really had to keep up and with this final long weekend push ahead I hope I make it to Tuesday and normality. Someone said to me yesterday that it’s been an unremarkable Festival but I beg to differ. There’s gold out there but you need to look carefully. This is where research pays off. Thursday I was a guest at the Amplify Festival where Mihalis hit the back of the net…

SPOTTED: Doja Cat’s speech at the 2024 Global Citizen festival was by far the biggest annoyance to me and let me rant with my unpopular opinion about why – It’s time for celebrities to stop trying to have political moments for public favor. ——————⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺—————— This must stop. You girls have to stfu and learn to perform your songs and go, you do not have the capacity or power to make changes in those spaces. Okay girl, we get. People over there are struggling.

But stop expecting the ‘Me’s’ of the world to care because me and my people are still fighting for lynching cases like Javion Magee to be solved and answered for. Over 90,000 Georgia residents are being forced to take shelter because of a chemical plant fire and that’s after Hurricane Helene killing over 90 people. ——————⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺—————— I don’t care about anyone else babe; my empathy has limits and people who don’t look like me will never be at the top of my list. Celebrities, if you’re going to keep taking the route of speaking on things out of your lane, at least make it hit for your target audience.

The girls in Congo didn’t get you the regard you have and as harsh as all of this sounds, I do not care. The media has always been used to ‘trick’ and influence us, but I was hoping with everyone pretending to be as woke as they are, that we would at least learn to not uplift the clear bullsh⋆t meant to distract us from other pressing matters. ——————⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺—————— But wtf do I know, I’m just a girl. —theBR⋆TT

I just had a player on my team with “TRUMP 2024” as their username and I felt physically sick. Like girl why are you promoting the homophobe transphobe on the gay trans squid game.

"The Antique" is a Georgian film depicting the mass deportation of Georgians from Russia by Russian government. It is set in 2006, when Russia deported thousands of Georgians from the country. Two years later, in 2008, Russia invaded Georgia.

Today the film about this event is being censored by Russia at the Venice Film Festival. Russia is still fighting against Georgia and tries to conceal the truth about its crimes.

Rant about Eurovision 2024, I’m sorry

I’m sorry but why is The Netherlands disqualified and Israel can still perform (while Russia is/wasn’t welcome in many competitions?)

I heard Joost told them a few times not to record him and someone from Isreal did and made a nasty comment, Joost reacted with an angry hand movement. (I don’t know if it’s true but if it is….come on man.)

Eurovision isn’t about politics….yeah right 😂

Edit: in my opinion we just send Joost again for next year, same song same act 😂

“Homophobes are f**gs” love that t-shirt.

(Backstory: He is the lead vocalist of the Hungarian band Carson Coma. He wore this t-shirt to Sziget festival (Hungary’s biggest festival). Since the Hungarian government is openly discriminatory against the lgbtq+ community almost every news site wrote about him and this t-shirt.)

i'm annoyed by the way people are talking about ms. roan, all this babying attitude. "young girl", "poor girl", "doesn't know any better", "please be kind", "my heart's breaking for her". she's 26. i'm the exact same age as her. maybe it's bc i'm 26 And black, but my black ass can never lean on the "i'm just a poor, young girl" excuse for sympathy points lol. not at my big age, and not with the skin i'm in. i'm never given that benefit of the doubt. what's more, black female celebrities (26 and younger. lesbian and bisexual, even) are Never given that benefit of the doubt, this level of coddling and understanding. what makes chappell more sympathetic and deserving of protection?
