So. No matter what happens, I'll still be here making daily good news posts. Once the final results are called I'll stop with the election psas completely and go back to doing what I'm here to do. No more PSAs and no bad news.

This fucking sucks. But no matter what, there are people doing good in the world. There are people making progress. There are people who care so much.

If you can't hold onto hope, I don't blame you. And I'll still be here to keep putting little pieces of it in front of you.

The US isn't the center of the world, however outsized and violent its power may be. There are other countries and there are people within this country who are doing good, important things. So, I'll get a lot more international for a while, I suppose.

One foot in front of the other.

Keep living. No matter what.

Babymetal featuring F.Hero - Pa Pa Ya!! 2019

"Pa Pa Ya!!" is a song by Japanese kawaii metal band Babymetal featuring Thai rapper F.Hero. It was released on June 28, 2019, just ahead of the band's performance at Yokohama Arena the same day.

Similar to other Babymetal songs, "Pa Pa Ya!!" gathers influence from various genres while preserving the band's J-pop and electronic music. With its name referring to the papaya, "Pa Pa Ya!!" contains components of southern lands, Japanese festivals, Papaya Salad, and a chaotic tune, for a "hot upper tune" in the summer. The song is composed of an infectious synth line and bouncy guitar riffs.

"Pa Pa Ya!!" peaked at number two on the Oricon Digital Singles weekly chart, and at number 56 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100. In the US, "Pa Pa Ya!!" charted on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart at number twelve. In October 2019, the band became the first Asian act to reach the peak of Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart with their third studio album Metal Galaxy. The music video for "Pa Pa Ya!!" was filmed during a live performance at Yokohama Arena.

"Pa Pa Ya!!" received a total of 73,4% yes votes!

because there is nothing to lose the people saying biden should resign now so kamala can still be the first female president are absolutely right but why stop there? inauguration day is 70 days away let's make "president for a day" a real thing. say "fuck it we ARE going to do the arbitrary quota DEI bullshit you accuse us of" and speedrun first [category] presidents. revolving door type thing.

first female president. first openly gay president. first transgender president. first president who has been to space. first president gamer president. first mime president. just play president bingo and hit as many categories as possible while we still can. make all of trump's #47 merch unusable by forcing him to be the 115th president instead. who cares anymore let's peacefully transition power but do it in the most chaotic hot-potato way possible

um excuse me? when did we all decide that the value of a degree rested on the earnings after graduation? and how can you honestly compare the skills learned in a humanities degree to those of a vocational degree like nursing or even engineering? and what happened to ummmm i dunno learning because learning is fun and good and knowledge for the sake of knowledge? and of course this is going to marginalise people who are already marginalised because why wouldn’t it.

Imagine having the fastest car on the grid, but Max Verstappen lives so rent free in your head that you try to copy him instead of doing literally anything original... Mclaren, you'll never be him, no matter how many times you claim the orange army as your own!

// I was very disappointed by Ayato’s new outfit too, since I wanted him to be shirtless again, but I find it incredible how Rejet is still not able to understand what Ayato stans want. 🥲

For reference, this is the outfit:

More pictures of Sabo Darling. I am really sad they're whitewashing his damn scar. And gave him a brown Coat instead of his white one.

Idk what it is about his white one. He's so sexy in that one 😍 case in point

Edit: ppst, you can get this as a print on my inprnt right now!! There's even a sale! It is FINISHED!! Here you go, a whole illustration inspired by a tweet I keep seeing things I want to change but I can't keep changing things forever - so here you have it, my Frubbo brainrot induced masterpiece

Here it is in dark mode (also very cozy, I find it interesting to see how things like these can change the overall feeling of a piece!)

I also cropped them into profile picture size if anybody would be interested in that

Hey cactus! I wanna say I am really greatful for all the hopeful post cause it is really is a big relief to know good things still happen. I also am curious how far you go to do fact checking to see if something actually happened or gives a positive impact cause I personally have problems in doing that myself and would like to know your take on it. Again, thanks for everything and keep on fighthing :)

My fact-checking protocol is that whenever I use a new source, I vet them, primarily by checking their home page to see the focus/tone of their coverage, and more importantly, by running them through one of the best sites ever, Media Bias/Fact Check.

They do report on history of bias and history of accuracy in detail, with sources/examples, and run their own fact-checks regularly. They're a massive time/life-saver.

From their home page: "We are the most comprehensive media bias resource on the internet. There are currently 8600+ media sources, journalists, and politicians listed in our database and growing every day. Don’t be fooled by Questionable sources."

Other than that, I mainly go off context, sourcing, and level of specificity in the articles. I don't go through and check all of the sources of my sources, or anything, unless I genuinely want to read more. That said, I've been doing this for a while, am fairly caught up on science and politics. I also literally work as a freelance fact-checker, sometimes. So I'm pretty good at figuring out when something doesn't smell right and needs more verification. I also have a couple sources that I have mentally asterisked as "90% good, but double-check just in case."

Generally, the bigger and more impactful a claim is, the more I verify it.

I also appreciate when people post corrections and/or more info, which is usually in the notes. I wish I could say I've never posted anything that turned out to be untrue, but unfortunately that is not the case! On the rare occasion that happens, I generally delete the post and sometimes make a separate post about it, or reblog it with corrections, depending on how much the inaccuracy impacts the story as a whole.
