Someday I will make a really good and well written post on toxic positivity in fandom but right now all I can think about is this one todd in the shadows clip where he talks about the rolling stone liveblogging the Grammys like a 12 year old girl and his shock at finding out the writer was a music critic he used to read very in depth writing of and how he's decided for that reason alone to keep on being a hater and that really had me crying sobbing at my screen screaming "HES JUST LIKE ME FR" so hard that I can't word a post better than that story to explain how I feel

[thebeautifulfantastic]

no but actually. maybe the only thing that can top that is when trevor noah said “by the way, i love your song anti-hero. my auntie is a hero too.”

highlight of the grammys was definitely watching taylor do her little awkward dances during all the performances

And if I liveblog the Grammys what then

Nah I reblogged this before I read it because your “I hate liberals” tag sounded exactly like every Republican I’ve ever met but then I read it and thought the aneurysm line was ironic. The only thing I’m liveblogging is this 2014 biography of six -time Grammy winner Billy Joel.

It is extremely disturbing how many posts I see claiming that Roe v. Wade was overturned on Biden's watch and blaming him and the Democratic Party for it. It's disturbing on a number of levels.

First, it was Trump and Bush-appointed justices who handed down the Dobbs decision. This is a flagrant example of blaming Democrats for things Republicans did, and not coincidentally is one of the the most widely felt differences between the two parties. As a result, it's usually the first example Democrats and their allies point to; this misappropriation suggests a deliberate attempt to undercut that fact.

Secondly, and related to the first point, it obfuscates who the real enemy is, and I am comfortable using word "enemy" to describe the Republican Party because of the policies they advocate and enact. The truth is that states controlled by the Republican Party were where the effects of Dobbs are most severely felt, while states controlled by the Democratic Party are passing laws to protect abortion. It is important to know which party opposes abortion and which party supports it. If the Republicans gain control of the House, Senate, and White House, they will pass a national abortion ban, as they have done at the state level in several places.

Thirdly, blaming Biden for Dobbs demonstrates a very concerning lack of understanding of how the government functions. The judiciary is its own branch of government; judges are appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. It doesn't matter who is president when a decision is handed down, it matters who was president when the justices were appointed. People sometimes react to this by moving the goalposts and claiming the real issue was a failure by Democrats to "codify" Roe v. Wade. I am not sure what "codify" means in this context, and I'm not sure they are either. One thing it does not mean is that congress can pass a law saying "abortion is legal forever." Republicans could easily repeal such a law and it the federal government cannot necessarily prevent states from restricting abortion at the state level. Roe v. Wade was a ruling stating that the constitution guaranteed a right to privacy, which included the right to have an abortion. This prevented abortion restrictions in a way federal law cannot. That doesn't mean passing federal law protecting abortion is a bad idea, but it isn't a foolproof protection. It's fair to argue that the Democratic Party and the left of center generally were complacent about abortion. The form of this complacency was not taking the courts seriously, while the right spent fifty years openly filling the courts with anti-abortion judges.

The last thing that worries me is that this is popping up phrased almost the exact same way all over the place. I am afraid that it is not merely incompetence, but intentional misinformation, that is then repeated by the incompetent who believe it.

I know some will probably dismiss this post as being from a "vote harder" liberal Biden supporter, but whatever your feelings about Biden, the Democratic Party, or the democratic process in the U.S., you should care about the truth. The truth is that Roe v. Wade was overturned by Republican-appointed judges and abortion bans are being enacted by Republican elected officials, and Joe Biden opposes these things. You can do with that information whatever you wish, but you denying it is dishonest.

Grammys 2021 liveblog part 4 (final part)

Most of my faves won for the night, the grammys are shitty and a scam, but I can be happy for the artist who are happy for their successes and achievements.

Kaytranada beat Arca earlier, but if Arca did not win i wanted Kay to win. Then both he and Kali won a grammy together so.

That's Jessie R. ?!?!?

This year is not only different because we are in a pandemic but because the head of Recording Academy is now fronted by a new ceo chair, a black man.

I mean I do hope the restructure and change of management goes well, but they need to move at a bit of a faster pace.

Trevor said that sounds great, which had some subtle shade for me i think of it like yall are talking the talk but will we see it. Will we see some change or is this black man just meant to be a face for optics of change.

Awww Billie, I'm watching the live broadcast and the skips during this are so glitchy.

I'm glad that BTS is breaking into the US market and they honestly have the best look and sound for the mainstream western market. I just think there are other groups that are much more versatile that deserve to be there with them to but Big Hit would never let two groups shine at once.

Stan Jimin for clear skin though.

Let's go Black Parade! Black people are so cool and special and I love us so much.

Oh these awards went over time, oh well id rather watch this than the news.

Roddy Rich is so cool, I like how impactful some of his songs are and he has trap bangers too.

An anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-xenophobia, all in one statement. Interesting.

Ringo!

Alright last award, at least no matter what one of my favs is winning.

He struggling with this envelope.

Aww Billie won, did she lie though Megan also deserved that win and if not Megan then Doja. I wish all three of them could share it. Pull a mean girls and break it into three parts for them all to share.

I am glad Billie is learning to accept the praise. She deserves this too and I love that she's got such a wonderful career ahead of her.

This year was terrible for a lot of reasons but music really stayed very strong and let me tell you the industry is changing. It is changing and its changing fast and I hope everyone can keep up with it.
