Context is truly everything. Recording this in your basement? Yeah. Cute. Recording it as you sing it in their faces?

Gorgeous.

Payola goes crazy on Spotify because I have been playing this Huntr/x playlist since the movie came out and it's had a mix of kpop girls, a few dance pop girls, and songs from the movie. Now, suddenly, it's got Taylor Swift's new album mixed in??? (Mind you, it had no TS as she's nothing like kpop)

Nothing quite as demoralizing than sitting in a broken down car, missing work, and having to explain to your employer that you're not just incompetent, but rather your car is betraying you. 😫
What's worse is I haven't had time to get it fixed, so I've had to let problems fester. 😭

Why are Black women always told that people wouldn't want to date or marry us as if we should be crying and sad? You think I want to beg some white man to like me?
Further, Hiddleston IS married to a Black woman with two kids, so what is this fantasy that he's disgusted by Black women???

-feel lucky for if he looked our way? Chat, I have NEVER been attracted to Tom Hiddleston. I've never dreamed of dating or marrying him. I was never a Loki stan. He's just an average white man, to me. The assumption that WE should feel bad if HE didn't want US is wild. Like 🙄

-another person rushed to explain that Zawe Aston is biracial. I replied that Zawe presents as Black and looks very Black, especially from an American perspective. And someone replied "lol Tom would've never married hey if she was 100% Black" and like ??? As if Tom is some prize that BW should-

Misogynoir is wild, because people are talking about Taylor Swift's new album and how she sounds insecure that her man used to prominently date a Black woman, and someone brought up that a few of her exes have dated/married Black women after her. Someone brought up Tom Hiddleston and-

Why do New Balance shoes cost so much now? They used to be the more inexpensive option compared to Nike. 😳

I don't like to post like this, because it feels beyond useless but. these ICE raids in Chicago are beyond horrifying and outrageous. The depth to which "acceptable" political violence has stooped is not surprising, but that doesn't make it any less horrifying.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.

To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

Bigots have always used a cover story for their hate. We are seeing this with Bad Bunny and Zohran Mamdani. In case of Bad Bunny, bigots hate him bc he's proudly Latino. But Instead they talk his views on ICE. In case of Zohran, bigots hate he's Muslim but cite other reasons bc can't say the truth.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Calling bullshit. This is a press release meant to drum up attention. Not a real thing anyone is ever going to make work.

If a studio ever actually wants an AI actor, they'll just create their own, likely with their own In-house genAI. Why the fuck would they buy it from anyone else?

Multiple talent agents are reportedly in talks to sign AI “actress” Tilly Norward, created by AI talent studio Xicoia.

The "good ones" in Nazi Germany still ended up in the camps.

Please read books. Please wake up. You're not one of them, no matter how many racist jokes you make online.

I don't know how y'all missed that white supremacy isn't about hating Black people or Jews alone. It's about looking for "white perfection"
Kash Patel, Candace Owen, all of those tokens would also be in the camps on Earth X. You can't "good one" your way out of the camps.

Someone pointed out that even Economos might have trouble because he's a redhead.
That world is also obviously antigay.
And look around again. Do you see any "spicy white" people, either? Everyone is fair. Everyone.

School really failed a lot of y'all. I think the biggest problem was teaching that the Nazi's were strictly anti-Jewish. The Jews were just their biggest minority group, and therefore their biggest victim. They were anti-everyone not Aryan (and their incorrect description of Aryan, blonde, blue eyes

Latino? You're in the camps. Non-Japanese East Asian? Camps (or probably never even left Asia due to being under Japanese oppression and occupation.)
Like, this is Nazi rules. The wrong kind of white people were in the camps. You think you're safe with your brown skin and ethnic name? 🤔

People are so blinded by their antiblackness that they don't even realize when they Nazis would've been rounding them up, too. I'm talking about the new episode of Peacemaker, with a lot of non-black people of color being openly antiblack about it. Like, baby, you're South Asian. You're in the camps
