The feminine urge to become an essayist youtuber and just rant about my special interests all day instead of studying for my master's is growing stronger as days pass.

My Favorite Artists' Favorite Artist.. Some Thoughts..

I've found the discourse around Chappell Roan fascinating. We hold similar stances on public issues, and I've always wondered how it would go if I shared my opinions publicly and was big enough for it to matter.

I'm going to rapid fire my talking points and share some people who said it better than me in the end.

It's perfectly fine to be critical of politicians. You SHOULD be critical of politicians. They are not your friends, they're not looking out for your interests, they're not celebrities. All they want is your vote, after that they do not care about you.

I think she would have been wrong if she said, "don't vote", which she did not say. She did say she herself will be voting for Kamala, soo..? Beyond that Chappell is within her right to say the candidates are lacking in terms of the issues she cares about as a voter.

I feel like some of the Fair Weather Friends that have paired up to scream "this is an important election" and will only accept one way of engaging with talks around the election, fail to realize-- your new friends are gone the second the election results in. They will not be advocating for you all of the sudden. It's crumby to abandon your long-time allies because you're feeling powerless and can only cope by lashing out.

Mental Health / "Leave Britney Alone" - Weird how communities who usually emphasize the importance of mental health care, or the messaging that celebrities are people too, seem to exclude this case.

You CAN disagree without attacking. If you can't manage to articulate why you disagree, or how someone is wrong (with evidence), maybe you need to reevaluate your stance.

Rigidity in admiration is placing someone on a pedestal. That's known unhealthy behavior.

Taylor Swift comparisons - Real weird considering Taylor has talked / written / sung about the negative impacts of the pressure she's under. Is she being lauded simply because of her palpability?

Please learn to digest and make room for nuance.

Save your aggression for the people who actually deserve it.

If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together.
