Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

FORM A CROWD
STAY LOUD
PROTECT EACH OTHER

ICE NEARBY
BLOW QUICKLY IN A BROKEN RHYTHM:
PRE-PRE-PRE!
→ ALERTS THE COMMUNITY THAT ICE AGENTS ARE IN THE AREA.

Yes yes yessss this is the point I think

Ruin the friendship is a story about boundaries

Audience and artist reflect each other and this is how culture is made. What does creative freedom look like for our faves? What is grabbing their attention?

The thing that I think a lot of people miss about Taylor swift is that her narrative journey is so obviously participatory and Swiftes and Gaylors alike get it

“Life’s a song and then you die” is less bleak if it’s a nod to this tradition (still bleak but it makes more sense)

Of course she didn’t make her money being pretty, witty and gay, the industry is homophobic

also i think mainstream news organizations that don’t want to lean into the trump dictatorship should stop using the word “antifa” & start just calling it “antifascist” & “antifascism” tbh

The metaphor breaks down tho because too much makes you sloppy and intoxicated, far from the truth

(Saying this one as someone who cannot drink bc omg)
