Hello! I’m Melani/betterthanlzers over on twitter. Made this account in case everything falls apart over there and I need somewhere to continue yelling about everything BTS does

I don’t trust what comes out of the government’s investigations these days. And that’s so worrisome in and of itself.

The image shows an X post by @TheAcidBurns3_1d with a photo of a hand displaying tattoos labeled "Kilmar Abrego Garcia MS 13 Tattoo." The tattoos include the letters "M," "S," "1," and "3," along with other symbols like a cross and a skull. The caption expresses skepticism about trusting an administration associated with this individual.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

I might do a longer form write up on this but this third way language police scandal has revealed just how dependent the entire political and journalistic environment is steeped in right wing framing for everything.

This is still one of the funniest text exchanges I’ve ever had. Every time I read through it, it gets funnier

Screen shot of text message exchange where some bot spam texts me and I respond in Korean (누구예요 - who are you) and they immediately pivot and send me a picture of an asian woman:

Text Message • SMS
Sat, Oct 19 at 12:14
Them: Hello how are you today?
Them: Why are you not replying to my message?
Me: 누구예요?
Them: I'm Lisa
Them: Do you remember me Zack?
Them: (sends picture of Asian woman sipping a colorful drink at an outdoor restaurant)

one thing the British are really beating our asses on is having little grocery stores—not bodegas, not corner stores, but actual grocery stores with fresh produce, meat/proteins, cheap healthy meals, essential ingredients, etc—all over the place

Basically, ARMY is the coolest and most organized fandom I’ve ever been part of and I’m so grateful for the connections I’ve made with other musicians in the community!

Melani⁷ @borahaethoven.bsky.social · Jul 20

I don’t think I ever posted about this here, but y’all should check out this year’s Global ARMY song!

I got to play acoustic guitar for it, and if you had told me 5 years ago when I became ARMY that I’d be part of a big project like this, I wouldn’t have believed you.

Someone took issue with me saying that American male Protestants are unique in how they've removed themselves from aesthetics. I thought it was obvs that I'm talking about fashion and interior decor, which today are coded as "gay interests," not paintings or architecture.

But let me elaborate. 🧵

Someone posted a video of a husband and wife shopping for interior decor. They wrote: "when will people finally acknowledge the epidemic of men marrying women and being turned gay."

Matt Walsh retweeted them and added: "Dudes like this were already gay. I’ve been married for 14 years and have never been home decor shopping, or even had an opinion on the subject, except for the one time when I had a painting custom made depicting me meeting a group of space aliens. It’s now hanging above a fireplace in our home."

I screenshot Walsh's comment and added: "For a while, it was believed that women and gay men are born with a natural sense for aesthetics. In reality, straight men, particularly American male Protestants, have simply barred themselves from taking an interest in aesthetics bc they think this makes them noble."

Finally, someone retweeted me and added: "Why does anyone listen to what this idiot has to say about aesthetics?" They attached a photo of Edward Hopper's 1942 painting "Nighthawks."

“Their absence this year highlights…”

Bro, 5/7 of BTS were literally in the military until the middle of June??

Screenshot of article:

“The genre failed to enter the top 10 by overall streaming volume in the US - a market where its audience remains dedicated but relatively niche.
BTS had occasionally appeared in previous
Luminate reports among top global streaming acts, but their absence this year highlights the intensifying competition from Western pop stars and surging regional genres like Latin and Afrobeats.”
