"Omg, I can't believe my daughter became a leftist, this is so sad, I'm so disgusted, whaaaaa-"
Michelle, use your brain for once, your child listened to they don't care about us on repeat in 2021 & 2022, do you really think a 13 to 15 year old who listened to the biggest anti-racism and anti police brutality anthem of all times would become a right winged pro Bolsonaro? Goddamnit-

I can’t explain what it feels like to receive this kind of messages and asks. I know that you're used to seeing me answering with jokes, but most of the time I just delete them.
These specific asks almost ruined my weekend. I was on my way to the cinema when I received them and I almost started crying on the bus.
I felt awful. To think that some random guy (because I know it was a "man") thinks that can treat me like this just because of how I choose to express myself on my account... it makes me feel used and groped.
I don't know who these people are, and I know they don't care about how much they hurt me, or all the pain they put me through, but I truly hope they never have to know about a woman they love (mom, sister, daughter, etc) feeling exactly like this because a disgusting guy with internet access and his face on a screen and his hand on his penis is harassing her just to feel 4 seconds of pleasure (or less).

What do you think about the controversies surrounding how Michael filmed a clip in a favela? Not paying people or asking their permission to have them in the video and ignoring how many didn't want him there at all? Making a deal with freaking drug lords to let him film there?
Okay, let's get one very important thing out of the way: the folks that were unhappy with Michael filming "They Don't Care About Us" in a favela were NOT the people who actually lived there, but the goverment of Rio - aka the people who are to blame for the favelas and their terrible living conditions existing.
They were worried that this was gonna expose their complete failure to do their job, and reinforce Brazil's/Rio's image as a very dangerous place, and would ruin their attempts of hosting the Olympics here - oh, when we did host the World Cup and The Olympics, years later, plenty of people here were mad because it meant even less money was gonna be put on basic stuff the population needs to live. There protests everywhere in the country for months.
Compare that to people being absolutely excited for Michael's arrival that they follow him and his car around everywhere, standing outside his hotel for hours in the hopes to see him. To the people in the Santa Marta favela watching him dance for hours, cheering him on from their balconies, waving at him and at the cameras, dancing along to the beat, putting banners and posters of "King of Pop" everywhere, and making a life-size statue of him that is still there.
Can you REALLY tell me they didn't like having him there? That they didn't want to be in the video? That this was not one of the coolest things ever?
And he did give people money, not for the right to use their image, but to help out (hence the statue) - something the government itself doesn't do, which is the whole point of the song. And it wasn't just charity, he even randomly gave a kid ten dollars on the spot just to be nice.
And that's just the stuff in Rio. He went to the city of Salvador too, in the majority black state of Bahia - he ate the food, stayed in an actual house there instead of in a hotel, was constantly waving at the fans and even invited a fangirl over to his room, and, more importantly, did research on Olodum (the guys with the drums that you see in the video) MONTHS in advance and was having a fucking blast with them, and chose them in particular because of the influence of african rhythms in their beats.
The overwhelming sentiment of the people here in Brazil - especially those that were in the video and were interviewed many times through the years - is that Michael was extremely respectul and downright awesome. How about we don't speak over them and act like they're too stupi-I mean, naive to understand they were "exploited" just because they have no money and are mostly people of color?
As for him asking permission to the drug dealers to film in their territory: there are favelas in Rio in which people have to use specific signals/codes to the be allowed back in if they leave even for a little while, to prove they live there, otherwise they're shot on sight.
If Michael went up there without permission from the dealers, he would at best have to deal with being followed and lowkey threatened by the drug lords that are not sure what he wants there. At worst, he'd get someone killed, because while the dealers likely knew him, they don't know the crew and could immediately shoot because they think it's a rival gang or undercover cop.
That's not the same as him just casually being buddies with criminals, that's just not being too stupid to live.

"The Met Gala is famously exclusive. In 2024, individual tickets cost $75,000, while entire tables cost $350,000."
Tumblr media
"The ice purse was $22,000 and it took 85 hours to complete. It has a handcrafted rose with pure lines. made of 18 carat rose gold. set with flawlessly cut half carat diamonds, and the body of the purse was crafted from expensive water."
"It was a purse," Camila continued, "but then it broke about five minutes into being in line so I called my stylist like, ‘What do I do?'"
Celebrities are using us to get richer.
They do not care if we starve.
Block them and boycott.
-
Photo description: Is of the ice rose purse from the Met Gala left forgotten on the floor. Background is a bright yellowish greem color, while the purse is blue and melting exposing the red golden rose. The quote above the ice block says "they do not care about us". They meaning the rich celebrities and us meaning the ones left to struggle to survive in this society.

“I'm going to commit treason,” Myles announced.
“Softly,” Feemor rebuked.
Myles blinked over the holo and Feemor titled his wrist so his riduur could see the sleeping boy. Eyebrows shot upwards. 
“Do I want to know?” Myles was ever so untrusting. Feemor couldn't help smiling with clear fondness. 
“My brother's new padawan, though now he has two."

Release: April 16, 1996
Lyrics:
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
Don't worry what people say, we know the truth
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
Enough is enough of this garbage
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation aggravation
Everybody, allegation
In the suite on the news
Everybody, dog food
Bang-bang, shock dead
Everybody's gone mad
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Jew me, sue me
Everybody, do me
Kick me, kike me
Don't you black or white me
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I'm a victim of police brutality, now (Mhhm)
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
Your rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free
Skin head, dead head
Everybody, gone bad
Trepidation speculation
Everybody, allegation
In the suite on the news
Everybody, dog food
Black man, black mail
Throw the brother in jail
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwin' me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
You know I really do hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But it Roosevelt was livin', he wouldn't let this be, no, no
Skinhead, deadhead
Everybody, gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody, litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us
Some things in life they just don't wanna see (Ah)
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no
Skinhead, deadhead (Yeah, yeah)
Everybody's gone bad
Situation, segregation (Woo-hoo)
Everybody, allegation
In the suite on the news
Everybody dog food (Woo-ho)
Kick me, kike me
Don't you wrong or right me
Songwriter: Michael Jackson
