I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?

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

not caring too much about a fandom’s favourite guy is the worst. you’ll think “oh i’ll look into the tag see if anything new and cool’s there” and it’s just that fucking guy again

devastating news for the discourse poster: “media literacy” in the modern age includes the ability to identify which posts are bait

Rambles

These weirdos need to leave Rachel Zegler alone because, specifically on Reddit and Twitter a bit, they obsessively hate her for having a personality, being earnest, being pro-Palestine and left-wing.

It's definitely misogyny and a bunch of right-wing trolls that throw tantrums over a person of colour or woman on their screen. People are way too comfortable being openly bigoted like that nowadays, and it's definitely going to get worse.

Like as we saw, Rachel had to retract her (based) statement about Trump winning the election. And people wouldn't do the Actors on Actors thing with Sebastian Stan because their publicists or PR teams didn't want the celebrities expressing their distaste/disgust with Trump.

Hollywood seems to be on their way to censoring any "controversial" (meaning left-wing) political talk and not combatting the bigotry the right is spewing. Especially with the McCarthyism-like blacklisting that's happened to some pro-Palestine celebrities recently, and with how Zionist a lot of production companies are, I feel like there is going to be far fewer celebrities speaking out about important issues.

I assume it's going to feel kind of defeating and isolating over the next few years -- like those with power and reach don't care -- but this just emphasises the importance of keeping using your voice and maintaining momentum in fighting for issues like Palestine, immigration and abortion. Community will become even more crucial.

Was forced to get a new phone today

So earlier in art class today, someone drew a characters hands in their pockets and mentioned that hands are really like the ultimate end boss of art, and most of us wholeheartedly agreed. So then, our teacher went ahead and free handed like a handful of hands on the board, earning a woah from a couple of students. So the one from earlier mentioned how it barely took the teacher ten seconds to do what I can’t do in three hours. And you know what he responded?

“It didn’t take me ten seconds, it took me forty years.”

And you know, that stuck with me somehow. Because yeah. Drawing a hand didn’t take him fourth years. But learning and practicing to draw a hand in ten seconds did. And I think there’s something to learn there but it’s so warm and my brain is fried so I can’t formulate the actual morale of the lesson.

there really are few emotions i find more compelling in a story than "you should be afraid of me. please don't be afraid of me"

I'm always entertained by people doing those "canon VS fanon" memes where both are misunderstanding characters to such a violent degree 'cause like

me when a character who was completely powerless gains power and proceeds to lose themselves in the intoxication of it before coming to and being horrified by their own capacity for bloodlust
