#as we all are

Why not check on Kaito and Maki?

I think I got it finally.

You fell over more times then I could count at first...but I do believe you have started to get the hang of it.

I'm not expecting us to win, but as long as we don't embarrass ourselves that's good enough.

Are you kidding me? We got to give our all as I Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars must show everyone why he's the hero out here!

....I have a long night.

ok take one that i think should be obvious if you have ears while listening to this podcast but i'm not always so sure we all know is just a joke. elias bouchard isn't actually a capitalist like definitionally

one of the frankly magical aspects of being part of a system with introjects of fictional characters is being able to say shit like such and such character is a furry artist. or this character stole my snacks. or this character went to the mall and bought stuff but didn't get me anything from hot topic. these are things that apply to us and make complete fucking sense

Knowing that Harry had the absolute time of his life on this tour makes me so happy!!! Like he was so happy and loved it and us so much!!! Can’t wait for the next one after he gets his well deserved rest (and I will be going to the next one, mark my words!!!!)

Hey,

Take care of yourself.

You're still here, I'm proud if you.

this is incredibly sweet and thoughtful to send. im assuming you read my tags or a rambling post, and you decided to send something quick- it means a lot that someone stopped scrolling and said something. even if it’s small. i appreciate it.

As you would be

Of course it goes without saying that I am hopelessly dependent on the ingot

now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.

this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

well 🧍‍♀️ as a reminder this blog is NOT a safe space for trump supporters but it IS a safe place for women, queers, trans ppl, people of color, undocumented people, and any marginalized group.

Before January 2025:

If you are a USAmerican in a relationship that might be affected by legislation that dissolves same-sex marriages, who may no longer be recognized as next-of-kin, especially if you have children, get your rights in writing!

Your marriage certificate may not be enough to prove you have rights to make medical decisions for non-biological children or for a same-sex spouse or partner.

Go to a lawyer, get it spelled out as clearly as possible that you have a voice in emergency medical and legal situations.

Also I've said this before but advertising is an industry that should be considered as pointless and harmful as fossil fuels.
