andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:
“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”
#pr manager is like: andrew… this is the last time i’m gonna tell you#andrew: whats the point of democracy if i can’t exercise freedom of speech#pr manager: andrew it’s no longer about your image#at this point we are concerned the fbi is going to show up#andrew: neil has connections. i’m fine#they thought marketing andrew on social media would be good#they were sooooo wrong#because now andrew has a place to share every insane thing he’s ever thought#for instance—a tweet that just says ‘an alien googling: human clothes’#he’s on there advocating for lgbtq+ youth you KNOW HE IS#he’s cursing and mildly threatening members of congress for imposing these disgusting bills#one day he tweeted ‘does mitch mcconnell know he’s dead yet’#when mitch mcconnell stepped down from senate andrew tweeted ‘hopefully next he steps down from life’#unsurprisingly: this endears him to some people and makes others fucking hate him#and he’s such a shit. he does not care either way#he’s kind of just like: pr manager. you gave me a twitter and told me to tweet. i’m just doing what you asked me#they’ve threatened to change his password so many times#they actually did once but andrew reported the account so many times for defamation and fraud that it got suspended#and he made a new account out of pure spite#his pr manager is like: andrew nobody is going to want to sign you because of your public image#and andrew is like: ?? ok. they can lose every game then#(he knows he’s the best goalie)#ok i think that’s enough for now. however i will probably be back#andrew minyard#aftg#tfc#trk#tkm#the foxhole court#all for the game

Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.
Kamala 2024!
If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.
But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.
#personal#answered#anonymous#i mean let's be clear here no president is gonna attempt to be progressive ever again within my lifetime#because joe biden tried to do like 25% of that and got ZERO fucking credit#he did so much on healthcare on reform on loans on so many social issues and for all his litany of failings on i/p#he has been distinctly harsher on netanyahu than a good chunk of dems and certainly the entire republican party#for the first time since i was four we are not involved in any wars as americans and that is thanks to joe biden#but the thing is that he gets no credit for any of it!#him pulling out of afghanistan caused his approvals to tank in a way that never recovered#and leftists gave him FUCK ALL for it#they gave him nothing they just continued whining that even tho he cancelled a bajillion in student loans#he didn't actually cancel a QUADRILLION dollars so both parties are the same and voting is the most arduous task known to man#no democrat who is running is going to forget that catering to leftist/progressive policies gets them zero leeway with those supporters#that it not only tanks numbers but you still get constant haranguing about it anyway#so they're not gonna do it#we are gonna get fuckall for at least a good fifty years#and anything we get will be utterly in SPITE of people like you anon it will happen in spite of everything you've done#mostly because of people like me and mine who understand that voting is the bare minimum#and that for the democratic process to work the way you want it to you need to participate and not pitch a fucking fit#like a four year old who was told they can't go to disney this weekend#like i know you ratfuckers are happy this played out because this is all a game to you and you don't actually care#but that's why i've got zero faith in you people and why i'm glad it's my kind of folks#actual die hard democrats who have always been hardliners for supporting democrats in every possible election#who are picking up the slack and donating to harris and supporting her agenda#which is the exact same as biden's because she's his vice president and they share they same platform#because that's what they were both running on! twice!#anyway fuck you please feel free to find a necktie and test how tall your doorframe is

thoughts on dave and aradia (<>)?
day 356
BIG fan tbh. in this house we love and respect timerails
truly yall read this log and tell me theyre not cute
#day 356#year 4#dave strider#aradia megido#aradave#homestuck#she really saw this kid and was like OH YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH YOUR MORTALITY?? :D#boy do i have some relevant life experience and wisdom to impart on THAT ISSUE SPECIFICALLY#and then she just. very gently and kindly makes the subject more approachable for ghostdave#the pesterlog i linked is literally my FAVORITE aradia moment. to me it is THE character defining moment for god tier aradia#yes she is being kind of ominous and trickstery at first#but it VERY quickly becomes clear shes got genuine concern for this kid she's had very little to do with up until this point#she really wants to connect with him over their shared time aspect stuff#and she really DOES care about how he feels about everything. she wants to help and she wants to put him at ease#because she KNOWS from experience that being dead and having to cope with what that means for you is like VERY UPSETTING AND TRAUMATIC#shes not just like. 'hee hee i think death is great and awesome because im edgy'#shes like 'no dude being dead is scary if you dont have anybody to explain this shit to you. so im going to explain it-'#'-and hopefully by the end of this conversation you will have some new things to feel relief and maybe even joy and excitement about'#'not just in spite of the death thing but BECAUSE of it'#i know shes spooky and has weirdgirl swag and we all love that about her but like#at her core she is a very KIND person. she may occasionally struggle to connect to people through the Death Special Interest Haze#but she WANTS to and when she DOES she is like. a genuinely very warm and comforting presence for her friends#ANYWAY. if andrew hussie or i guess james roach now want to give me an honorary doctorate for my 12+ years of intensive aradia studies#i will be here waiting patiently#timerails

"Out of Spite" The Nine Sols AU TEDtalk time. The Path of Trials, part 1
What I didin't talk about in this is the redemption arc. All of saved Sols need to let go of the things that chain them. Their biggest fear and flaw. Their sin.
They need to start changing.
Lets say they need to go throgh trial. So, what trial it would be for them?
1. Goumang - "Trial of Control"
I think we all came to consensuss in fandom that Goumang have some control issue. As someone who have similar control tendencies I might guess that it came from her turbulent childhood. She so obsessed with control because she can't afford mistakes. Why she can't afford mistakes? Mistakes lead to bleak future. And future is a chaos. Always a chaos. Life is a big game of dice, but as many people who lived in conditions they cannot change she started to try and control everything she does. Beliving this is the way to secure her future survival.
Unfortunately, even when kids like this starting to live normal live, when the chaos in their life becomes more tame, they are unable to let control loose. Being talanted agronomist led Goumang to Tiandao Council. To securing her future. Future of her people.
I belive her control issue manifest in her not just keeping things in check and near her, but, ironicly in equality. You get what you give. Stable equality in relationships and live lead to sense of security.
She needs to let go the control in her live. She need to accept that reality as it is - solarians can't be saved. Her boys...can not be save. This island of stability is ended long time ago and can't be brought back.
Goumang need to understand that even when this period ends that is NOT meaning the next will be worse. Yes, it is unpredictable as most of the life. Isn't it why life is so beautiful, tho?
Vital interaction with Yi: When she first was brought to pavilion she is scared. Why he's changed his mind? Will Yi torture her further? Use her as somewhat of a lab mouse to experement on? She's shaking everytime Yi storm out angry of the Abacus room, where Jiequan held. Everytime she sees him she's afraid he will change his mind again. So, she starts to "become useful" offering help to Yi. Tho throughout the story she is very resnetful towards Yi and they more bickering then talking. Still, they care for each other in their own way. The important breakpoint for them comes near the end of the game. Oooh, it's a big argument about tianhuo and cure for it.
Yi tells her the truth: There is no cure. Eigong is the one who developed tianhuo virus. Goumang is...upset, to say the least. She starts to question her view on time spent in tiandao council. What she once considered the time of peace and stability in her life turned out to be the nightmare. Only this time it seems there is no way to make things work. There is nothing left to secure. They all are doing to die, sooner or later.
Vital interaction with ShuanShuan: After Kuafu he is the second person she starts to open up to. At first she sees in him her boys. ShuanShuan is deligent and hard-working kid, trying his best. Yet, he's... not that caring about result. Unlike Goumang, he just tries again and again until things work right. Kid don't care about mistakes he's just...having fun. Living in the momentum and not caring about what's next. ShuanShuan just enjoying every time he sees Yi and Goumang. He help Goumang understand that she could try to ease her hold on what she doing, because there is no danger for her in pavilion. And she can be loved despite of her "being useful" to someone.
She would help boy to learn agroculture! Through her time with ShuanShuan she learn again to have fun. This leads to her modifying and developing her own talisman technic. Healing talisman!
2. Nuwa - "Trial of Independence"
Nuwa always was the second. For many she seemed like a little brat with too much of free time. In fact, I think she didn't even had a chance to participate in clan's affairs. Fuxi was always ment to be a leader, but, it kinda looked like he doesn't want to. So Nuwa decided to pursue acting career. Her and Fuxi were always toghether. I think Fuxi was the fist who make her intrested in theahter in a first place. I think with Fuxi Nuwa felt...saved and loved. She felt needed.
And when Fuxi fell ill well... it likes her world is crumbled. Now she has to rule the clan. She didn't want this responsibility, she just wanted things to go back how they used to be. No tianhuo. No Ethernal Cauldron. Just them, toghether, putting another play. Living their best life.
And while Fuxi is ill he still was there. Even when he can't talk anymore Nuwa thought she understood him better than anyone.
Now Fuxi is gone. Forever. Nuwa is alone in this big and scary world, full of mutants and death.
And she needs to learn to care for herself and become a proper adult. She need to decides what she actually want to do with her live. Build connections. Take responsibility for herself and her actions.
Because, she need to accept the harsh reality of Fuxi being dead long time ago, even before their fight with Yi started.
Vital interaction with Yi: At first Nuwa would try to cling to anybody for protection and affection. Try to mimic them. To Yi, To Kuafu, To Goumang and even to Jiequan. She would defenetly try to shake her responsibility of when she is comfortable enough in pavilion. Blaming everyone and especially Yi for taking away her brother. She can't party anymore so she starts drinking. with Yi.
One faithful night she and Yi drinking. They start talking about siblings and what it is like to have one. Laughing and remembering past. Then, Yi stops and says, that he misses Heng. And, actually, this is why he saved Nuwa. Because this is what any older brother want - for his little sister to be save. And to grow up, become a better person than him. I think Yi would say some shit like "Me and Fuxi are not the best example of a person" and RUIN THE MOMENT COMPLITLY. What he was trying to say that Nuwa has a potential to become a better person.
Vital interaction with ShuanShuan: I think, since the dialogue with Yi, Nuwa and ShuanShuan have a little rivalry because no matter of Yis words she kinda grew attached to the guy. It's UNTIL the day she hears ShuanShuan playing flute. This is the moment because NOW Nuwa will infodump to him about art and they will even play toghether sometimes!!! Nuwa is a kind of a kid herself, so ShuanShuan is happy there is a someone he can play with and who IS enjoying and encouraging him to further persuit art! Nuwa will become his older sister and THAT is a point where she starts to actually care for someone, like she cared for Fuxi. I think, one day she understands that if she is actually capable of caring for others, thus she is capable to care for herself. And first step she needs to do is accept responsibility for her own life and decisions. It's up to Nuwa - to be an actress or to be the leader of the Feng clan.
Eventually Nuwa will modify her flute to some kind of weapon. Manipulating and controling her enemies, making them dance to the melody of her flute. Kuafu helped with modifications ofc (and only after she said she would not point out his weight anymore)
Nuwa is also..not much of a helper to Yi. She often just brings decorations to the pavilion or helps to preoccupy ShuanShuan when the gang discussing plans. Tho, when time passes I think she's too start to participate in strategic meetings.
Still Nuwa is not a fighter. Like ShuanShuan she just needs a mean to defened herself when the time comes.
Well, thats all for today. Boys are next! Did not expect to write such a long post, but I hope fellow Nuwa and Goumag enjoyers eat well today
#nine sols#nine sols au#out of spite au#nine sols goumang#nine sols nuwa#other 9s characters mentioned#but mainly it's about nuwa and goumy#I like to call goumang goumy for some reason#also yes this is the third reupload because when I see the stupid mistakes I made I'm cringing hard#listen eng is not my first language and I have to be extra careful when I write#but when I am too excited I am prone to make many MANY stupid mistakes#brainworms is making my mind halt#the only thought that exist is SHARE YOUR IDEAS SPREAD THEM LIKE A TIANHUO VIRUS#god my brain melts#i hope if I am back rereading this post I won't find more stupid mistakes PLS

'This is why Harry Potter su-" omfg SHUT UP!!! If you didn't think the books suck, you'd be okay with trans women being stripped of their laws?
#anti harry potter#anti jkr#I earnestly believe that directing your anger at people who care about trans community#but still make content about what basically are communal ocs#and it's their only engagement with it#it's just projecting the anger you have towards majority of mainstream HP fans who dgaf about trans ppl#or even stuff their money in terfing's pockets out of spite bc they share her disgusting values#AO3 writers are not the ones who sponsored this court ruling ffs#maybe ill delete this#but i have so much anger within me rn#and if i see one more hp mention in relation to the court's ruling i'm gonna start throwing bricks at people#like i understand where are these ppl coming from#but honestly the anger is just redirected towards people who will care

what's wrong with d.d. lewisssss
#when he's on screen your heart starts beating very fast OR it stops beating altogether. he's very opera that way#<- girl who sees opera everywhere#dylanlila.mp3#this feeling for me is usually limited to theatre or concerts anything where i am actually sharing space with the creator#but it's rare for me with film to link it to a specific individual if it happens it's the overall experience of the film#but he's just magical that way!!!!#i think i just strongly relate to a person being so perfectly crafted for their profession it consumes them entirely#i can always feel when that is the case. no matter how much effort it takes externally i always recognise#that effortless aspect of it...#i appreciate effort more than anything don't get me wrong but it's exactly because i myself fail to do things that don't interest me#or don't consume me. i am terrible at them. i just happen to be interested in too many things#i mean music and medicine are the only constants but i have 0 organisation skills i just care too much to abandon it#so it's easily confused for being good at organising#i also have the curse of always having to be doing something or i'll drop dead so that's when i easily settle for something#that doesn't exactly fulfill me entirely but stimulates me enough to keep me going#i just keep searching for ways to be 100% present in spite of myself

Spite being aggressively affectionate with Rook when Lucanis and Rook are finally together.
As in Spites like a needy cat. Stuff like constantly holding Rooks hand, wanting to give Rook constant affection, and wanting a lot of attention.
Also Spite getting some form of cute aggression towards Rook cause he doesn't know how to handle positive feelings.
Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.
#dragon age veilguard#veilguard spoilers#da spite#lucanis dellamorte#rook x lucanis#spite x rook#you can not convince me spite would not become a third party in this relationship#spite: sharing is caring#lucanis: WHAT#basing this off that affection is commonly considered the counter to spite

do you think rkc has a preferred grima
do you think he prefers rearmed grima over l!/h!grima because she's more in line with the grima he knows
do you think he avoids l!/h!grima because she reminds him too much of robin so if he closes his eyes and pretends the stench of death is coming solely from him, he can imagine it's actually his wife
do you think he feels that's an insult to her memory because the other chroms might warm up to l!/h!grima and recognize that their wife still lives eventually, but he's so used to the grima who tried to kill his daughter (but never did and does that mean anything?) and took away his son to be raised in the same way she would've if validar kept her that he can't
do you think he would slightly resent the other chroms for choosing the lesser of two evils in a custody battle for fell morgan, even though he knows that's the logical choice?
because i think a lot about how rkc is portrayed and he's so much of an opposite that it kind of hurts in the best way. and i think a sign of that would be that he's much more inflexible about grima and robin that perhaps even them, especially if their thoughts on it are "you are me but i am what you could've been (anger/pity)"
if og/horse chrom are of the mind that any grima is robin so long as even a piece of her cares about him and the shepherds, and l!chrom/brave chrom are somewhere in the middle and think that l!/h!grima ought to be counted but the ones they faced off (and rearmed) shouldn't, then rkc completes the trifecta
#fire emblem heroes#fire emblem awakening#fe grima#fe chrom#fe robin#risen king chrom#chrobin#chrima#i like to think grima and robin keep their distance like how lucina and grima do#especially with l!/h!grima there's a lot of resentment for robin getting to be as close to a human as possible#while robin deeply pities her other self because she has the memories to know what exactly went down#and killing her personally is as much for lucina's sake as it is for her other self's sake#meanwhile chrom and morgan share a braincell#rkc hates grima because grima made him kill his friends and chase lucina down#and thinks she did it to spite him because he cares only about robin#which is kind of true but she did it because she wanted her 'family' back

#i dont think anyone super cares but i thought i’d acknowledge my inactivity#i’ve gotten to the point where seeing constant discourse has become unmanageable and made me start seeing the characters in a distorted way#which has ruined my creativity and ultimately sucked the fun out of shipping for me#and reading people’s posts is barely enjoyable bc it’s hard for me to tell what’s genuine and what’s spiteful#often things seem to be exaggerated to prove a point and i as a hashtag Intuitive hashtag Empath#have trouble looking past the underlying tension in this tag at all times. anyway idk why i’m sharing this here but#i love byler and hopefully things will chill out at some point but for now this website has become inhabitable

Man whenever someone writes some degrading shit about their art on the post of the art like "this is stupid" or "forgive my ugly drawing" or "the anatomy is off because im bad at art" "I don't know why I even try lmfao", I simply do not reblog the art. I don't want those vibes on my blog. Most people don't want those vibes on their blog. That's why you see some genuinely amazing art with like 100 notes instead of 1000, because the caption is awkward and self-degrading. And it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, ya know? You keep saying your art is shit and then that's confirmed to you by the fact that your art has way less notes than everyone else in the tags. But it's not the art, its your self-deprecation that nobody else wants to take part in. You're not tempering expectations or providing a needed apology, you're making people uncomfortable. Just post the thing and let other people decide whether they like it or not. I promise it'll be so much better for your mental health.
#and like I know the notes aren't a be all and end all#and I know art should be for yourself so like why should you care if people don't want to reblog it?#but something tells me the person apologising for posting art is probably agonising over those notes too#and there's like a super easy fix for that#I legit see this at least twice a day in the trigun tags#beautiful art and a self-deprecating awkward caption that makes everyone deeply uncomfortable#nobody wants to participate in bullying the artist so why would they share the message they're putting out there?#I also don't reblog art with those aggressive ''REBLOG DONT LIKE OR ELSE REEEE'' captions on them but that's just me being spiteful lol

I've had a headcanon with mocfiths in my head for a very long time (the audience knows, I hope). It came to my mind when Margoshka told me about the catfish version of Maysky (a character from a Russian TV series)
After that, I had the idea of imagining a situation where Thriffith decided to go fishing with El Moco. They didn't have a good fishing trip, though, and that was because the moment El Moco arrived at the appointed time, at the bridge over the big lake, Thriffith caught a big fish…. or rather, it caught him. When Thriffith wanted to say hello, the fish twitched so hard that the grief-stricken assassin fell off the bridge into the water. El Moco had no time to do anything, he wanted to pull him out, but Thriffith is very stubborn and eventually fished this "something" out of the lake. He was holding the big catfish in his hands.
Thriff is proud of himself, bragging to El Moco, saying, "Look what a huge thing I've caught"! And the Bandit King looks at him as if he had done something wrong, as if he had done another stupid thing that made him feel bad.
Thriff: What? Moco: Now you're going to catch a cold because of that worthless fish. Thriff: Oh, that's silly! I have a pretty good immune system! Moco: I wouldn't make such rash judgments if I were you! Thriff: Not at all! *sneezes* Moco: There! That's what I'm talking about!
The bandit didn't listen to him any further, he just took the dead fish from him, put it on the ground, and suddenly began to take off his outer clothes. Thriffith stares at him stunned, he was ready for anything in the world, but not such an action. He asked the Bandit King what he was doing and why he was taking his clothes off, but El Moco just gave him his shirt and jacket (he didn't give him his vest, he put it back on) and told him to change his clothes so he wouldn't catch a cold.
There was nowhere to go, and Thriffith did as he was told: he changed into his comrade's shirt, which was too big for him. In fact, he was a little embarrassed by it. Still, El Moko was right and did the right thing. Thriffith was pleased that he had taken such care of him.
But that wasn't so bad! The shirt was warm, the jacket was warm too, so Thriffith wouldn't catch cold. And in the evening they cooked the catfish together and had a delicious dinner (UwU)
#the adventures of puss in boots#thriffith#el moco#mocfith#headcanons#helen thinks#I've finally poured my heart out#Here I can at least finish some of the lines that I didn't include in my post on Telegram#I so dislike my sense of shame#but I just know that my partner is on the channel and he doesn't share my hyper-fixation on men as much#which makes me feel really bad about it#Someday I will realize zen to the point where I don't care about shame#I'll just do everything in spite of others#But not today--

Welcome back to “Let’s Make Siggy’s Life a Living Hell”, the game show where I put dear old Sigma through the ringer for no other reason then “I just kind of felt like it.”
Part of a lovely smorgasbord of colorful characters, the rough sketch of lovely Sigma here is one of six yanderes in a little x reader fic I started as a fun little project (that quickly spiraled out of control, surprise surprise). Can you tell what kind of yandere he is? ‘Cuz I sure can’t. Please, I wrote the thing Iliveineternalsuffering—
Allow us to take a closer look at his character!
Sigma:
“The Lit Fuse”
Nicknames:
‘“It’”
‘Siggy’
Physicality:
Height: 5’4
Age: 21
Hair colour: A platinum blonde
Eye colour: Something unfeasible
Profile:
No wonder he’s always angry. He got named Sigma, of all things.
Not even Sigma male, like VLR Sigma. So the equivalent of an old man.
I know that I’m the only one who gets this reference, but I’m keeping it in because I think it’s funny.
Constantly short.
He’s the most Tsundere to ever breathe. Can’t go thirty seconds without insulting someone he cares about.
He’s exceptional at driving others away. He tends to bottle up his emotions until they explode, and he isn’t good at dealing with the consequences. This often leads to him feeling worse then when he began, which he then internalizes, which then stews,
Also our resident demolitions expert.
…It’s a hobby of his. (Dio) (Okay okay, I’ll stop with the VLR references. Carrot an author have a moment of joy?) (Yeah, I’m no Zero Jr.) (STOP)
He took the ‘destructive tendencies’ speeches to heart��why stop at emotionally destructive tendencies, he logiced. Keep stepping forward, he figured. So he went into electrics and mechanics.
Now, I’m not saying he’s crazy enough to carry explosives everywhere he goes. Except for the fact that he is and that’s exactly what I’m saying. He insists that it’s a safety precaution, that it doesn’t mean anything, but he would absolutely utilize it as a threat.
Playlist:
Higher–Lemaitre
SUCK IT UP–Rev cover
Personal Playlist:
Riot–Hollywood Undead
Here’s the link to the story if you want it lol, idk go wild—
(There is not much there 🕴️)
#Yandere#yandere male#yandere male x reader#I’m going to be honest I have no real clue what I’m doing#Thought I would just throw this out into the ether for kicksies#Got some Yandere content so might as well share#I’ve been doing this instead of studying for my finals though#so rip on that front#I’ll live it’s fine#Unnecessary VLR references that no one will get (but I will still include out of nothing if only spite)#Sigma OC#Siggy OC#Sigma OC Introduction#Sigma Masterlist#(Am I really going to make one of those?)#I really ought to put my original works up on AO3 and just use the Wattpad for Genshin#But you will find that I don’t particularly care enough to put that much foresight into my actions

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.
#tiktok ban#xiaohongshu#the great tiktok migration of 2025#us politics#us government#scotus#ftr tiktok is owned primarily by private investors and is not operated out of china#and all us data is stored on servers here in the us#tiktok also employs 7000 us employees to maintain the US side of operations#like they’re just lying to get us to shut up about genocide and corruption#so fuck it we’ll go spill all the tea to ears that wanna hear it cause this country is not what its cracked up to be#we been lied to and the rest of the world has been lied to#if scotus bans it tomorrow i can’t wait for their finding out#rednote

Trying to find something to post for Six-Sentence Sunday, but we've once again reached the point where I think everything I've written is Bad™ and Stupid™.
#it's probably not. and even if it is that's not like...a moral reflection on me#I KNOW THAT#and I'm one of maybe five people keeping this particular dynamic alive anyway so it's not even as if Lots Of People Will See It#it is literally just that I have Issues™ regarding sharing anything remotely creative on account of The Undergrad™ and The Entertainment#Industry™ and The Trauma Disorder™#like. I know that none of the people I routinely talk to are going to care. y'all aren't spiteful and mean like that.#it's more of...an abstract sense. that I prove to the universe that I'm Awful if I fail at literally anything. and then the universe#treats me accordingly.#yes I know this is unhelpful. yes I know this is unrealistic. yes I know things don't actually work like that#KNOWING DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!#disorder diaries#In the Vents
