#I know you can.

Okay so… I’m so so disappointed right now. Because why do these poor actors have to keep telling some of you off?

Riddle me this.. how the hell can you call yourself a proclaimed “fan” of this musical, its actors, and what it stands for when you go to Melodys instagram, print a photo of her in a bathing suit, expect her to sign it and give it back to you.? How can you call yourself a “fan” when you kiss Jason on the cheek when you asked for a photo? How can you call yourself a “fan” when you follow actors to their cars, follow them home and give them panic attacks? How can y’all call yourselves “fans” when you constantly sexualize, belittle, demean, and dehumanize these young actors? I’ll tell you. You can’t.

You are not a fan at this point. You are creepy, you are an asshole, and SOME OF YOU are borderline stalkers and psychopaths. I say this time and time again and it’s genuinely so exhausting and so so messed up that I even have to say it.

THE ACTORS ARE PEOPLE TOO.

They are NOT your playthings. They are NOT yours to do whatever you want with. They are young actors who are trying to do a job. That is all they are in the end. I’m so so deeply disappointed to hear all this horrid, disgusting behavior from some of y’all.

I do not care if some of you think I’m being dramatic and over the top. I don’t care. What I DO care about is these people, these human beings rights, boundaries, and their decency being violated and disrespected on a daily basis. This is not about theatre anymore. This is about human decency, rights, and boundaries.

I said this before and I will say it again, I am aware that this issue is not coming from a lot of you, this message isn’t for you. This message is for the people who read all of this, who hear all this disturbing news from the actors and think that it is okay. This is for the people who currently DO these things and think it’s okay and even “cool”.

Do. Better.

Kinsley's Perfect Tea Party book cover (1968)

The book consists of Kinsley trying to have a tea party but everytime she tried Champy would somehow unintentionally ruin it. The book was discontinued shortly after release due to a series of misprints inside of the book and on certain copies covers. It has become hard to come across a perfect copy of Kinsleys Perfect Tea party, only a few dedicated Baxter's beachside town own one.

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

Forget about torturing your blorbos, putting them through the wringer. I'm putting my blorbo in perfectly ordinary, pleasant situations. Their tortured personality will cause them anguish anyway, making an absolutely mundane scene into the most dramatic, agony filled affair as though the world is ending and it's all their fault

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

Hi guys

[butchfalin]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.

there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.

a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.

please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,
