I’ll admit, “Donald writes a drabble shipping himself with Vladimir Putin mid-tantrum as he publicly considers fleeing the country and snitches on his benefactors” was not on my Current Events Bingo Card.

Ungodly Hour (2)
You’re encouraged by Chaeyoung, your roommate, to use Jungkook thirst for you to your advantage.
Word Count: 2.314
Warning: smut, dirty talking, thirsty jk as always, also simp jk, facesitting, oral (m receiving), unprotected sex, creampie, semi-rough sex, jimin and mc are friendemies,
“Bitch.” Jimin murmurs beneath his breath as he passes you and all you can do is roll your eyes.
“So sassy.” you quip, a smirk forming onto your lips.
“Don’t listen to him.” Jungkook pipes in, holding two cases of water bottles in his arms. You furrow a brow, eyes admiring (in secret) how the veins on his arms pulse. “He’s just mad he had to help bring the groceries in.”
Jimin drops a few bags against your kitchen table and rolls his eyes. “I was promised breakfast. Instead I’m walking up three flights of stairs to put food in your kitchen.”
Jungkook scoffs, placing your water gently by the other two packs already on the ground inside the kitchen. Chaeyoung is excited, already putting away the groceries Jungkook - generously - provided. The cabinets were already full enough and she hadn’t even made it to the fridge or freezer. She could kiss Jungkook for the month supply of food - but you were already repaying him.
“Sucks to suck.” you shrug your shoulders when Jimin passed you again with even more bags.
“You would know a lot about sucking.” Jimin retorts.
“You want to fuck me so bad, Jimin.” you laugh and the comment catches Jimin completely off guard. He flushes, but you don’t want to tease the man any more.“You’re just upset, Jungkook kicked you off of his account.” you cross your arms, and this struck a nerve in Jimin.
It was a month ago when Jimin had texted you - getting your number from Chaeyoung - just to tell you that you were everything but a civilized human being. Why? Because you had complained to Jungkook that whenever you were watching something, Jimin also was. And that meant - to satiate you - Jungkook had removed Jimin’s devices from his account and changed the passwords.
“I was binge watching The Real Housewives!” Jimin snaps. “But I suppose pussy is worth our friendship.” the man crosses his arms, eyes glancing at Jungkook.
“You’ll get your breakfast.” Jungkook rolls his eyes. He rummages through his sweats and grabs his wallet. He hands Jimin a black card.
“It’s the least you could do.” Jimin glances your way and rolls his own eyes. He leaves without a second word and all you could do is giggle.
“Do you have anything planned today? Classes?”
You shake your head. You were completely free today and have done so to repay Jungkook for his generous donation.
Jungkook nods. His eyes glance to Chaeyoung who is still happily organizing the insane amount of groceries. She’s humming to herself with a grin on her lips.
“When is she leaving?” Jungkook murmurs, a red tint on his cheeks. He doesn’t want to come across as desperate - but that’s exactly what he was. He had replied far too fast to your tweet (and of course he would, he had your notifications on, afterall) and raced to the Supermarket first thing in the morning.
You stroll towards Jungkook. You wrap your arms around his waist and knit your brows. “I can’t kick Chae out. She lives here, too.”
Jungkook nods, defeated. “We can watch a movie-”
“No.” Chaeyoung calls from the kitchen opening. “I’ll put my airpods in and put the rest of the groceries away. Don’t let me stop you from fucking his brains out.”
Jungkook’s eyes widen, flushing even a deeper shade of red. Chaeyoung speaks as if Jungkook isn’t there, her eyes solely on you. “Make sure you go multiple rounds. He bought everything name-brand!”
Jungkook tilts his head.
“Let’s go!” you sing-song, grasping his hand to race towards your room. You open the door and close it behind you and Jungkook.
“You guys must’ve been starving.” Jungkook jokes, his hands immediately on you.
“A little.” you murmur, capturing your lips with his own. Kissing could be considered intimate, but at this stage, you were fucking Jungkook for about anything and for nothing. Sometimes you two weren’t even doing that - you watched movies together, studied whenever needed and just enjoyed each other's company.
“Why didn’t you ask sooner?” Jungkook presses open mouth kisses upon the skin of your neck. He’s already dipping his hands beneath your pajama shorts to feel your ass.
“Just got on birth control.” you respond when he pulls your shorts off of you completely. You fall onto your bed. “Decided to use it to my advantage.”
Jungkook groans, hovering above you. That means that this didn’t have to be a one time thing - he could cum in you as much as you’d let him. “You don’t need to do anything for me, you know?” Jungkook lifts your shirt from your head, discarding it to the side. Your breasts fall freely and he’s already pressing kisses upon them. He does the same to his shirt soon after. “I don’t mind buying you things.”
You wrap your legs around his waist to bring him closer. You never want to admit that his words get to you. Fuck Jeon Jungkook and his good heart (and dick) for making you feel things you weren’t suppose to feel outside of sex .
“You must waste so much money on all these girls.” you attempt to sound unbothered by his words. His tongue is already swirling your nipple with his thumb pinching the other. “Fucking s-simp.” he’s grinding against your heat, the friction perfect.
“You know you’re the only one that has access to me.” Jungkook pops your nipple from his mouth. He proceeds to lick, eyes flickering to you. You press yourself tighter against his clothed cock, grinding against it.
“I don’t.” You do - but it does something to you to hear him say it. Maybe it was an ego thing - a pride. It makes your head big just knowing that Jungkook would do anything you asked and expected next to nothing in return.
“You do, Y/N. You know you’re my girl.” Even if the agreement was to keep things completely sexual, to everyone but the two of you, this was a relationship. You hung out outside of sex far too often for this to be a regular friend with benefit type of situation - but it was like the blind leading the blind. “You wanna sit on my face?”
You nod your head hastily. In seconds, Jungkook was beneath you, tugging your underwear off so you could sit on him like he asked. The first time he requested it, you felt indifferent. You never sat directly on anyone before and you were afraid to suffocate him. However, Jungkook insisted and since then, sitting on his face has been your (and his) favorite position to try.
Jungkook isn’t the one to waste time. He’s suckling onto your clit with ease, hands gripping your thighs in place. He loves it more when you grind against his tongue - he enjoys watching you tremble with pleasure. He has the perfect view of not only your leaking pussy, but your breast and your beautiful face. It was the perfect position for him.
You were a truthful person - you’d give Jungkook his flowers. The man is insanely attractive and whenever you sat on his face, you could never last too long. Jungkook always insisted on watching you - he stated he loved the way you always crumbled for him. How you’d moan while grinding against his tongue.
It’s what Jungkook’s doing now. He locks his eyes with yours. He clenches your thighs as an unspoken response.
“S-Stop looking at me.” you whine. You lift your hips, but Jungkook doesn’t allow it. He pulls you back down against his tongue.
“You’re always so stubborn.” Jungkook muffles between your legs. He’s flicking his tongue between your folds. “I know you’re about to cum, baby. Stop being so embarrassed.”
You mentally groan because of course there it was. That word. Jungkook knew how to fluster you - if he meant to do it or not.
“Fine.” you grumble.
Jungkook slaps your thigh. “Now ride my face.” he says. He closes his eyes to not further fluster you, even if he did want to watch you cum right in front of him.
You do as you’re told, grinding your hips against his tongue. Jungkook holds you in place, silently encouraging you to continue. You can feel the familiar bubble deep in your stomach and your hips pick up the pace. You release a deep moan, eyes fluttering close.
Jungkook takes a peek at you, feeling his cock twitch. So beautiful you were. He could watch you like this for as long as you’d let him.
Jungkook knows you’re going to cum once your moans become high pitched and your hips jerk. He doesn’t take his eyes off of your face as you come undone, his cock basically begging for a release.
You feel tired when you move yourself from Jungkook’s lips. You fall against your bed with a sigh.
Licking his lips, Jungkook hovers above you. “Tired?”
You nod your head. “A little.” you always were after cumming on his tongue. It was inevitable.
Jungkook nods. “You hungry? I can…make us something?”
You groan once more. There he was again being nice and doing things to your heart that he wasn’t supposed to do.
“You can after you cum inside of me.”
It’s hard to ignore the bulge in Jungkook’s sweats.
“You sure. It’s okay-”
You slap Jungkook’s chest, interrupting his speech. “Shut the fuck up, Jungkook.” you hiss. “You’re too nice.”
Jungkook snickers. “You want me to be an insensitive asshole?” Yes you did. It made things easier. You told yourself (and Chaeyoung) that you wouldn’t fall for this nice boy act and become far too gone. He made it hard. Offering to make you cum was different than cooking for you.
“You do.” Jungkook hums. “Is that some type of kink?”
“Fuck you.” you hiss. “Maybe I just want you to be a little rough sometimes.”
Jungkook smirks, understanding your tone. You were closing yourself off because you were flustered - and the only way for you to calm yourself was to insult him.
“If that’s what you wanted, it’s all you had to say, baby.” Jungkook pushes his sweats down and kicks it off. His bulge is entirely too huge inside his underwear. “I’d do whatever you ask me to do.”
Shit. There he was again. Jungkook knew what he was doing.
“Turn around.” Jungkook slaps your thigh. “Since you want to be treated like a whore, I'll do just that.”
You may have turned entirely too quickly, but you couldn’t help it.
Jungkook positions himself at your entrance. “Let me know if I’m too rough, okay?”
“Stop being a pussy.”
Jungkook only chuckles.
Jungkook then enters you, you’re so wet that you take him far too easily. He begins his pace brutally, pushing your face down into your pillows. He keeps one hand tangled into your hair while the other grips your hips.
This was new. No, Jungkook wasn’t technically vanilla. He could be rough when needed - but this? This was a new side of Jungkook that has you clenching around him. With each thrust, he hits a nerve, sending you more and more over the edge.
“No back talk?” Jungkook huffs, cracking his hips to fuck into you deeper.
You want to tell Jungkook to go fuck himself, but then he pulls your hair back in a way that has you whimpering for more.
“You always insist on being a bitch.” Jungkook releases your hair to wrap his arms around you. You feel his lips upon your neck, his hips never halting their abusive thrusts.
“But even if you are a bitch, you know I love it.”
“S-Shut up.” you whimper.
Jungkook doesn’t. Instead, he flips you onto your back so he can watch you while he fucks you.
“No.” Jungkook spits, continuing the same brutal pace. He has your knees touching your shoulders, the new position allowing him to fuck you even deeper than before. “You don’t like it when I'm nice to you. You want me to treat you like some whore.”
Your eyes are rolling now. There’s no way Jungkook could be fucking you entirely this good that you’re unable to form words.
“But you aren’t some whore to me, Y/N. You know you’re still my girl.” Jungkook places a kiss upon your cheek. “So I’ll treat you like a bitch in heat now, then I’ll cook for us, yeah?”
Jungkook doesn’t wait for your response. He leans back and places his thumb upon your clit. He begins to rub, determined to make you cum again.
You’re stuttering, jerking away from Jungkook, the overstimulation completely unbearable.
“Stop running, isn’t this what you wanted?”
So pretty, Jungkook thinks. You could be a bitch sometimes, but it’s what he likes about you. He enjoys the playful bickering he entertains and your feisty attitude. He enjoys it even more when he does entertain you in these little games you play just for you to lose at your own game - much like how you were now.
Jungkook’s thrusts are sloppy once you cum, a twitching mess beneath him. Your eyes are rolling and you’re no longer trying to hide your moans.
Jungkook presses his lips against yours, grunting into it while he gives one last thrust. His cum shoots inside of you, coating your warm walls.
It takes a few minutes for Jungkook to lay beside you. He feels just as tired as you must’ve felt earlier, panting low to himself.
“You still hungry?”
Your eyelids are fluttering closed, suddenly heavy. “Sleepy.” you murmur, laying your head against Jungkook's chest.
Jungkook wraps an arm around you. “You’re also so cuddly after a good fucking.” he teases.
“Fuck you.”
“I will after our nap.” Jungkook laughs. “We have all day for me to turn you into my little twinkie-”
Your body heats up and you slap Jungkook’s chest, but once again, all he does is laugh.

man I can't believe how much I miss San Antonio sometimes I used to resent it and I don't think I could ever want to move back but being away from it so long hurts a bit
I saw a tweet today about a Korean supermarket that makes breakfast tacos and it's just the kind of little puro pinche San Antonio things that makes me nostalgic
I wish I had been gentler on my city as a kid.

👆🏽I Tweeted this in response to some “anti-woke” goober who was trying to discredit the support Ralph Yarl was getting … but I had no idea how many people were shot for accidentally being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
•Payton Washington, 18 A Texas cheerleader who was shot after a friend mistakenly got into the wrong car in a supermarket parking.
•A North Carolina man allegedly shot a 6-year-old girl, her parents and an additional neighbor after a basketball rolled into his yard.
•Ralph Yarl, a 16-year-old African American teenager, was shot and wounded after ringing the doorbell to the wrong house in Kansas City, Missouri.
•Kaylin Gillis, was a passenger in a vehicle when a man, 65-year-old Kevin Monahan, fired two shots from his front porch ultimately killing her.
America’s atrocious violence problem is a horror show constantly displaying itself for all the world to see.. there is no rock bottom.
 When are we going to stop letting gun toting white men ( yes, this is 💯 whiteness ) continue to enforce that that our lives are not more important than their raggedy ass guns???

Once, when I was younger and would dress somewhat outrageously, I caught a stranger recording me on his phone as I danced on the tube, on my way to a gay club. The video never surfaced online to my knowledge – perhaps he simply sent it to a group chat – but for months I looked over my shoulder when dancing.
Turning strangers into online content for the purposes of comedy and entertainment has become a global pastime. And we lap it up. A drunk person relieves themselves in the street, a loved-up couple gets a bit steamy in a supermarket, a man is in his own world loudly singing out of tune on crowded public transport – the content is endless.But the line between lighthearted teasing and digital harassment seems to be getting thinner by the day.
Recently, a 64-year-old, retired man, Michael Peacock, was filmed dancing enthusiastically at Fabric nightclub in London. The video was uploaded online with the caption: “Yo I’ll never be going Fabric again.” The intention was clearly to laugh at the man’s dancing, and the clip also invited a range of homophobic and ageist responses, with the man in question reporting to Vice that his “heart sank” when he saw tweets about himself.
None of us can expect a legally protected right to absolute privacy when we step out in public. There are, however, basic ideas that we’re all supposed to hold around respect and dignity, which mean we should not invade others’ personal space through intrusion or fixed observation. It’s an unspoken code that is evaporating at a time where there are rewards to be gained by selling out another person’s privacy, making them go viral.
Cases such as Peacock’s might seem obviously cruel or unwarranted, but clearly not everyone sees it that way. After all, most of us have recording equipment in our pockets, designed not only to capture but to disseminate content in an instant. It takes active thought to see that what’s going on is too often a kind of antisocial behaviour: a rigorous policing of fun, spontaneity and expression, a disciplinary mechanism for social conformity.
Sometimes recording is not as spontaneous as spotting a stranger you think is ridiculous and snapping: in our age of YouTube and TikTok there are also the curated setups where a stranger becomes a supporting character in a skit they’ve not auditioned for. Like Candid Camera for generation Z, it’s commonplace for strangers to be pranked or misled for the purposes of content. These pranks usually have less sinister or malicious intent than spontaneous recording, but the feeling of being degraded is often the same, with uploaders potentially monetising the content.
For instance, a Melbourne woman who was made to participate in a “random act of kindness” TikTok without her knowledge, described being filmed without her consent as “dehumanising”. A friend of mine, Kyle Skies, recently fell victim to a YouTube prankster, in which he was provoked by a series of annoying questions. The video is incredibly funny (there’s no argument about that) but Skies didn’t see it that way.
“I had just run for and missed the train so I was already flustered and annoyed, and then that happened to me. I don’t know if my anxiety was kicking in but I was ready to fight,” he tells me. “I wanted to slap him but I had to think about where I was as a tall black man.” Though he felt he was being set up, he was still not prepared to see the video online. “My cousin sent it to me, because he’s of that age group. He was laughing, saying, ‘You’re so funny.’ But it didn’t feel nice. I got a bit of anxiety and my heart started pounding, I wasn’t ready for it.” Skies is powerless here – so long as footage is taken in public and does not reveal certain personal data, such as your bank details or medical history, you generally do not need the subject’s consent (though a professional production company making a prank show would certainly get written permissions from its subjects).
There are, of course, instances where recording strangers can be in the public interest: state abuses of power, such as police brutality, jump out. But we do need to start thinking more carefully about this dog-eat-dog culture of public spectacle. Take the example of someone, who appeared to be a school age child, filmed shouting at passengers on a commuter train this month after seemingly being asked not to vape. (It was viewed several million times on Twitter.) Many would argue that if you behave offensively, and cause a public scene, then you forfeit any right to expect a dignified social code of privacy, and that there should be appropriate social consequences for this behaviour.
Few people who negatively commented online seemed to consider that they might have been watching footage of a minor. Or that the intense gaze of multiple recording devices could have overwhelmed the subject, whose response was likely escalated by a defensive need to stand their ground and not look weak in front of the cameras. Their behaviour was certainly not appropriate, but what does it mean when bystanders can witness a young person vaping on the train and their first thought is to ridicule and humiliate? Would the incident have played out differently without cameras and the incentive to create content from other people’s meltdowns? And even if their behaviour was bad, was it really in the public interest for it to be shared, when the behaviour was simply disrespectful rather than violent or bigoted?
Until such practices become social faux pas there is the chance that you could step outside and become someone else’s ticket to social media stardom. The use of mobile recording devices has empowered us in many ways. Beefing up privacy laws to prevent the filming of strangers in public would be undesirable, not to mention unworkable. What can change is social and cultural – reacting with grace to each other’s embarrassments, and minding your own business more.

also that vid u posted brings up an EXTREMELY good point that unfortunately some tabloids are way more trustworthy than others, which has already been covered on this blog. basically if it's something you'd see in line waiting to check out at the supermarket, it's probably not credible and the news outlet version of fanfiction. there's pretty easy ways to figure out which tabloids are reliable and which ones arent, and like i said, all of the tabloids known to have credible sources have left us-
-with the story that ari and ethan are taking space apart. again, like i said, literally the only outlet to break that 'they're heating up behind the scenes' horseshit was us weekly, which is basically one of the lowest of the low. also, saw someone on reddit bring up something called a 'catch and kill', which they describes basically as PR teams finding out paparazi or someone has photos or info on their celebrity and paying them off to ensure those photos dont get out, and those contracts- -are legal and basically function like an NDA. however the assumed theory here is that that contract wasn't completed in time and so that's why ari's team probably felt the need to break the story, even though by now whoever has those photos is legally unable to publish them. just a really bad case of jumping the gun. however I don't believe the pub makeout story- you're telling me nobody at the time took a picture or tweeted or texted their friend or something, but was able to identify- - ari and ethan positively enough to sell that story to tabloids months after the fact?? hmm. sure jan. anyways sorry for basically talking to myself in your ask box but i just thought that was interesting; the person who explained the catch and kill thing made it clear that they thought that the proof some paparazi have will likely never be published now due to the contract and probably a massive payout from ari's team. so thank god for that and hope it's true
Ooh I didn't know the "catch and kill" thing existed?? That's very interesting (I've unintentionally learned so much about celebrity pr from this whole thing dfgbf!). And thank goodness they're not legally allowed to publish the pics! I don't want to see them ever 😅
And yeah, I don't think I believe the public making out either. I feel like if a fan saw Ariana Grande out in public making out with a man who wasn't Dalton when everyone assumed they were still married, they'd probably use the opportunity to take a pic 🤷���️
(Listen, you don't ever have to apologize for ranting in my inbox! I genuinely love reading what y'all have to say)

First image ID: A tweet by @boywaif that says, "I had a french professor who once said if you just did something like going to the supermarket and experienced it fully without the goggles of habit and catégories you would go crazy with pure sense and joy. I think about it all the time. In a way this is all for him."
Second image ID: A tweet by @thanatosinfurs that says, "yet another sentiment that makes me think about kurt vonnegut telling his wife he's going out to buy envelopes." Followed by a screenshotted Kurt Vonnegut quote which says, "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is—we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

What major historical events do you remember? What started as a drop in the pond in some small towns in Nigeria, rippled into a full blown protest across major cities in the country, with the hashtag #EndSars trending at number across all major social media platforms with the hashtag garnering 28 million tweets on Twitter; now X, alone. The protest was so huge that Nigerians in the diaspora and foreigners alike joined the trend, not only on the social media but also on the streets; in front of the Nigerian embassy, with celebrities such as Ex England and Manchester United footballer, Rio Ferdinand, Jamaican singer Sean Kingston, British actor John Boyega and American singer Trey Songz and gospel artiste Kirk Franklin all lending their support to the movement. BACKGROUND The Special Anti Robbery Squad was established in 1992 to tackle incidences of robbery, kidnapping and other violent crimes. Unfortunately, as with almost everything in Nigeria, this outfit would soon begin to morph into the very thing it was created to tackle. Over the years since its creation, it had been accused of high handedness, extortion, extra-judicial killings, kidnapping and various forms of human rights violation. In 2016 Amnesty International indicted the group of human rights abuse and other degrading practises. THE PROTEST(S) The 2016 Amnesty International report “shook” the barrel, a petition was signed by over 10000 people asking for the disbandment of the unit and submitted to the National Assembly, who in turn instead of disbandment, called for a total reform of the unit. You see why I used the word shook because, all these were perfunctory, as not soon after, SARS were back to their normal routine, if anything, they got worse and more daring. The Second EndSars protests Two separate incidences sparked what would be the biggest protest ever held in Nigeria, bigger even than the Aba Women’s Protest. On Saturday 3 October 2020, a video showing a SARS police officer shooting a young Nigerian in front of Westown Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, trended on the Internet. It was alleged that the police officers took away the young man’s vehicle – a Lexus SUV The trending video caused public outcry on social media, especially on Twitter, with the #ENDSARS hashtag trending. Just as the ENDSARS began to trend on Twitter, on Monday 5 October 2020, another report surfaced of SARS officers killing a 20-year-old up-and-coming musician named Daniel Chibuike, popularly called ‘Sleek’ in his neighbourhood. According to eyewitnesses, Sleek was sitting in front of a hotel with a friend when some SARS officers approached them, prompting them to flee. The officers chased after the pair, shouting “thief”, before shooting Sleek as they ran through a supermarket. His friend was then arrested. These were the sparks needed to ignite the nation as soon the streets were filled with protesters; many of them youths who were the major targets of these vile humans under the SARS umbrella. I must state that these protests were for the most part, peaceful, in fact, it was so peaceful that protesters were photographed giving food and water to police officers who were there to control them. There was one story where a police officer on seeing the mammoth crowd took to his heels but was caught up with and reassured that his life was not in danger. The police officer looked scared out of his skin in the pictures that trended online. These protests would soon start to deteriorate as state operators started to inject their spies into these crowds, these spies would wreak havoc, loot and attack other protesters. This guy is a political appointee today Various famous sites in the various cities were the location of these protests, slowly all of Lagos State was abuzz with the EndSars movement, soon not only the youths came out to protest, but the adults too; parents who themselves have suffered police brutality or had some suffer it. The Lagos protest was massive, they moved like a snowball growing in size till they reached the tollgate where they pi...

April
• Went to Brastagi supermarket on the 1st day of April, fulfilling my promise to meet him when he got back. My rational thinking knows that he wouldn't come, but my heart had a high hope that he would be there. And of course it didnt happen like what i want. I cried a lot that day.
• Went to his house sending cakes and of course in hope to see him too and also, I baked cheesecake for him. But again, he's not there and didnt eat the cheesecake.
• Begin to accept everything after that, cried a lot for several days till the tears dried.And those days were my last days of crying over him.
• Wenny came home after a while, bringing my 2 bottles of vanilla essence. Meet up with her in alligator (not recommended cafe)
• sold diy cookies before holiday, my 2 assistants had 2 times accidents in 1 day. Hmm..
• holidays starts, we went to brastagi for 3 days, living slow live, cafe hopping, cooking (holiday yang tidak holiday sih sbnrnya), playing monopoly and I win the game against andriod. I'm a pro!
• did a questionnaire on people's perspective of me. Most of them had the same images of me, except hani, 'keeping the sadness behind the smiles' while others said i have a happy soul, kind hearted, funny, helpful, supermom, multitalent, easy going, etc. Then i realized, people has a very positive images of me and thats good! 😂 more people will come to mourn when im dead. It will be sad if there's no one showing up on one's funeral. And i dont want that. 😂😂 extrovert till death 😂
• starting the bakery business again and the cake orders had slowly return to normal amount. 2 weeks in a row, 14 and 10 cakes, quite okay but this week I had a few and thats why i do a bake sale on the last day of april. Had a really low self esteem that the sale wont be sold out, Turns out, they were gone in 90min and people are asking for more and i have to do it again this Friday. ❤
•PMS strikes, listened to all the songs that reminds me of him, of us, memories flash back, but i cried no more. But it is still the hardest week to pass though. Especially when it comes to Friday when we used to call each other on our free time.
•lidya told me about someone who has an affair and had a baby. The man refused to take responsibility over the baby and now the husband accept her back and the baby! Crazy isnt it?! What a life! 🤯
•dyed my hair back to dark brown again, the last colour washed off to bright golden brown. I look like potato!
• had a little argument again with aje after i sent him a tweet. But we settled it nicely and we agreed to put everything behind us now. Hope to live a peaceful life after this 🤞
Umm.. Thats April sums up! Will do this every month so that i don't have to do it all at once in year end like i used to.

Anthony's Stupid Daily Blog (661): Sun 7th Jan 2024
I got into a bit of an argument with a disciple of Alex Belfield’s on Twitter. If you’re not aware Alex Belfield is a former radio host turned shit-poster who was sentenced to five and a half years in prison for stalking famous people including Jeremy Vine and Iain Lee. Not only this but he also conned many of his extremely gullible followers into donating to a campaign where he said he would use the funds to sue the BBC to bring them to account for all their corruption. However after he’d raised a ton of money he then changed his story saying he couldn’t sue the BBC and rather than give his followers their money back he told them he was going to give it to charity (and then in subsequent videos showed that he had taken first class holidays to Las Vegas). Also he was really into pantomime's despite being a grown man. What the fuck's that about? Anywho ever since his conviction I’ve been posting a series of Tweets poking fun of Belfield but also poking fun at his fans for actually allowing themselves to be deceived by an obvious con artist. One of these fanboy took umbrage with me insulting his master and called me a sad loser who was obsessed with Alex Belfield. One of the main benefits of AI is that I can now get doodles to accompany my posts and told this Belfield follower that if he was struggling for money there was a low cost supermarket called Store King that he could shop at and that Alex Belfield apparently loved Store King

This dude hasn’t even been living as a woman for a year and Forbes thought it was appropriate to have him speak at a WOMEN’s summit
Forbes is under fire from women’s rights advocates and online commentators after having a male who recently began identifying as a “girl” speak at their Power Women’s Summit, an annual event highlighting female leaders in business and activism.
Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender TikToker who has risen to notoriety for his “days of girlhood” series, spoke on “ushering in a new era of influence” at the Summit, which was held in New York City on September 15.
The announcement of Mulvaney’s appearance was posted to the official Forbes twitter the following day and attracted overwhelmingly negative attention from feminists and gender critical activists who pointed out that Mulvaney has identified as a “woman” for less than a year.
“So this is actually a feminine man, not a woman. Being a woman isn’t about performing sexist stereotypes, it is an innate biological reality,” Twitter user Frederich wrote in response to the Forbes announcement. As of this article’s writing, the tweet has under 900 ‘likes’ compared to over 2,800 overwhelmingly negative replies.
Even transgender people critical of Mulvaney’s participation added their voice to the chorus of discontent.
“What does Dylan know about being a woman? To Dylan, being a woman is being told how stunning and brave you are every day for chronicling your adult male “girlhood.” He’s been LARPing as a woman for a day and a half. This is an insult to women and embarrassing for dysphoric men,” Transgender Twitter user SophieXY wrote.
Mulvaney’s appearance at the Summit comes just months after the TikToker reported being offered a partnership with Tampax to advertise menstruation products. The partnership allegedly came after Mulvaney’s video on his “12th day of girlhood” in which he discussed carrying tampons around to hand out in women’s bathrooms, and refers to the vagina as a “barbie pouch.”
Mulvaney’s TikToks documenting his “days of girlhood” have accumulated millions of views. In the videos, Mulvaney is often seen doing and acting in excessively “feminine” ways which are often perceived as representing harmful, sexist stereotypes. While “being a girl,” Mulvaney often attributes his womanhood to what he is wearing, his makeup, eating habits, and dramatic emotions which lead to crying and binge shopping.
During his “day 74” video, Mulvaney advocates for the normalization of his “bulge” after complaining that people at a supermarket were disturbed by the outfit he had been wearing, which had included leather shorts that clearly showed the outline of his genitals.
“I forgot that my crotch doesn’t look like other women’s crotches because mine doesn’t look like a little barbie pocket,” Mulvaney says, “… I just normalize it, and we all just normalize women having bulges sometimes, because we’re coming up on bikini season, baby, and you might see a bulge or two.”
Mulvaney has attracted a large fanbase which often rushes to his defense when he experiences criticism. One such victim of Mulvaney’s rabid fans is known on social media as Jess, a female TikToker who parodied Mulvaney’s “girlhood” series.
Jess released a few TikToks in which she acted an exaggerated parody of Mulvaney, taking on his dramatic feminine personality while wearing pigtails and using a filter which masculinized her appearance.
As a result of her parodies, Jess was banned from TikTok multiple times, and has experienced extreme backlash from Mulvaney’s fans.
Earlier this year, Mulvaney’s fans attempted to have Jess fired from her job, spreading rumors she worked at Domino’s Pizza. Ajay Rochester, who hosted The Biggest Loser Australia joined in on the campaign, trying to get Domino’s attention on Twitter in an effort to have Jess terminated.
On September 13, just days before the Forbes Summit, Mulvaney made a condescending TikTok responding to Jess’ parodies, which caused his fans to flood her social media with reports and abuse.
“How sad would it be if you left this earth – God forbid – as the woman who hated trans people?” Mulvaney said in the TikTok, “That’s kind of a sucky title!”

i saved this in my drafts because i didnt have time for this essay but i do now: i think this is actually a really interesting thing re: internet and celebrity culture and society's obsession with looks. i saw someone on twitter or somewhere the other day talking about how theyre not attracted to dnp and that dnp are average looking and i was like, ok, im not attracted to them either (phlesbians hi) but theyre definitely above average objectively speaking. anyway this post made me think about how i reckon so much of people's interactions with other people coming from social media and tv shows nowadays has really skewed people's perceptions of what it means to be average lookswise.
experiment for you if you arent really sure what i mean by this skewed perception of average looks; go outside into the town centre, a shopping mall, a supermarket or whatever, and just watch people walk past. whatever you're seeing, those are the average looks of all people. we're not splitting by age, gender, race, level of grooming, height, weight, style, whatever, we're just taking all the adults we see and looking at how attractive they are facially. you will probably notice that the average person is, well, average! they're probably not ugly but they're also probably not super hot. this is what average is, and i don't think people realise that. everyone around you makes up the average, whether theyre an 80 year old man with more wrinkles than not, a stressed out mom who ran out to the shop in her pyjamas, a perfectly made up 20 year old gym bunny girl.
a couple days ago a tweet someone made that said "every time i see dan im blinded by his face card" got like 80k likes. phils 2009 videos are Like That because he was THE hot emo youtube/myspace boy at the time lol. part of their popularity is, and has always been, that they're tall attractive young men with nice accents and good facial symmetry lol. theyre not average looking people even though theyre not like... tom holland or paul mescal or whoever. or whoever the hot male actor of the week is.
im not making this post as some kind of defence of their looks btw, i do not think they care that much atp - but i do think its an interesting discussion to be had about what's considered average online vs whats ACTUALLY average. this is almost definitely why so many kids have self esteem issues growing up online - even if you're above average in looks, you probably don't really think you are if you spend a lot of time online, because the average is set higher.
Filter girl dan just looks like an average white girl 😭
leave her alone!!
(image credit @tetrapaec)
#this post is not about moralising looks by the way#im saying this preemptively before anyone starts#thats a different discussion make your own post#there is no moral judgement attached to being attractive or unattractive it is completely neutral morally#there IS social judgement attached to looks but we already know that. but a persons looks impact 0 on their character#anyway yeah this was really interesting to think about#looksism#social media
