THE ACTUAL NEWS
I read an interview with this guy (who is a real news anchor), and he said he told his acting agent that he is ONLY interested in parts where he plays a new anchor. This is no coincidence. This is by design.
what is his plan
25 years ago an unknown Chinese protester stood in front of a tank in defiance of the government. No one knows the identity of the man but he was given the nick name “Tank Man”. This is one of the most iconic photographs of the century.
It’s actually been 27 years now since the incident known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre occurred. The picture above, famously referred to as “The Tank Man” was actually taken on June 5, the day after the massacre. (Which honestly makes him the one of the bravest person, to go back and stand up to a regime after such a terrible event transpired)
So what happened? I’m gonna give the TL;DR version:
- April 15, 1989. Hu Yaobang, a former Communist Party Chief dies.
- Many people, including workers, laborer, students and some officials come to mourn. You see, those protestors were originally there to mourn, not protest.
- Time passed and there were some hunger strikes, and protests, and a call for accountability and reform from the government.
- Eventually, things went south, because the communist party doesn’t have time to deal with these sorts of “demands” and grievances.
- Keep in mind, the people wanted not the end of the Communist Party, but for the party to stop with the official corruption, rule of law, and the gross monopoly of information and power.
- Incidentally, China still suffers from all of these SAME problems to this day…
- June 3, 1989. The massacre started at night to disperse the crowd. Many were shot, wounded, and killed.
- June 4, 1989. Some of the parents of the protestors who never came home went looking for them. It was still total mayhem.
- June 5, 1989. The iconic image of the tank man was taken. To this day, no one knows what became of this person.

“Tell the world…”
I cannot stress how important it is that people remember and know about this event. Do you know how China responded? With lies and censorship.
Even now, in 2016, we do not have an official death toll on the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Chinese government doesn’t even acknowledge the event as a “massacre”. And they weaves these cover stories of “counter revolutionaries trying to overthrow the government”. Therefore, the violence was necessary to ~protect~ the people. (Or some bullshit like that)
The amount of lying and censorship in China is, quite frankly, scary amazing. Tumblr, which somehow managed to fly under their radar, found itself being blocked in that country.
After all, tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.
And those who remember the incident in China? …………well, you tell me.
Please at least REMEMBER this tragedy. Untold innocent lives were lost, and a nation has been fed a lie for almost three decades now from their oppressive af regime.

Let’s reblog this until everybody sees it
Hozier: trying to blend into the crowd (during a level 3 lockdown) Also Hozier: wait, that’s my song
Whenever I see people afraid of crossing the 25 year mark in their lives I want to tell them to cancel their subscription to societal expectations and start befriending actual old(er) people. Then you’ll realize how fortunate you are to be growing w time, how much life is surrounding you, waiting for you to do whatever you want w it
when you’re traversing through a cave and keep running into wild Geodudes
Trump doesn’t want to participate in the debate because he might be muted but I’d pay real human money to watch him scream and be rendered powerless by a little zoom microphone icon
i will never forget all of the celebrities singing imagine by john lennon at the start of lockdown when people were dying in record breaking numbers and losing their jobs, homes and loved ones. it was their hannah montana moment but instead of brown hair they revealed the most insane collective lack of empathy i have witnessed in my life
To everyone out there in a creative slump: you will make things again. You will feel inspired, excited and determined again. You will continue to live a creative life. This is temporary, I promise.
