my brother just sent me this meme and idek how to respond

“Do you think seahorses write fpreg” and the many other riveting things my friend texts me right before I go to work

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

alright actually i was dismissing this because i dont really keep up with celebrity beef so most of it goes over my head but after listening kendrick did just release the most scathing diss track in rap history (not an exaggeration, i am speaking entirely non-hyperbolically when i say this).

and, to be clear since kendrick has released several diss tracks in a row over the course of the past few days, i am referring to Meet the Grahams, a song not directed at drake, but is instead Kendrick speaking slowly, softly, and sadly towards Drake's family members over a somber piano about how him being a terrible person has fucked up their lives while also revealing some incredibly direct and personal sexual misconduct allegations in the portion addressed to his mother, Sandra.

this is, like, historically important to rap music and it's kind of astonishing.

update:

i think it's important to recognize Meet the Grahams not as a piece of a dunking campaign, but as a sincerely heartbreaking and terrifyingly stark glimpse into the life of someone who has had predatory, vile behaviors enabled and had enough power to ignore anyone trying to get to him. i don't know that i'm capable of putting it into words, but this one feels a bit too important and sincere to treat as a "drake's funeral" anthem, even in an ironic tone.

that is reserved for the OTHER diss track that he released in the SAME DAY which has a much bouncier and "point and laugh" tone, which will have you going "OOOOOOOOOH MY GOOOOOOOOOD" in the first 90 seconds, regardless of whether or not you know anything about the beef.

that's this one:

okay FINAL thing i'll say on this:

i think it's extraordinarily impressive how sophisticated Kendrick's execution of this PITCH PERFECT social execution has been, and i don't even think it's over. to quote youtuber Scru Face Jean here, "[Kendrick is] making it too culturally cool to not like Drake right now," and like. i guess all this is to say, i think it's important to emphasize how major this accomplishment is on a, like, societal level.

to put it into perspective, i saw somebody comment "the beef has finally breached containment" in the tags, and i think that an excellent visual metaphor for what Kendrick's done is, very simply, ripples in the water. to emphasize his point, using his long experience in battle rap and his generational mind for putting societal issues into art (they're going to be talking about him for decades after he's dead, he's that kind of important), he crafted a split multimedia diss LP with such precision that it's created an explosion across mainstreams of media.

he reached into the brain of the zeitgeist and rewrote Drake's public image into exactly what he wanted it to be. even if it's all game (im pretty sure it's definitely not, but if it is) it's GOOD FUCKING GAME.

alright drake lets hear your next song bud :)

the smallest artist i listen to? probably the bird outside my window

i hate when i send someone a meme in another language and they're like "uhm... translate? 😒" fucker i sent you a meme where 90% of the words have an english cognate and/or you don't need to know what they're saying to find it funny. can you at least TRY

i sent this meme to 7 people, and 4 of them asked me to translate for them. i legitimately do not think that was necessary.

“hey Drake i hear you like ‘em young” “certified loverboy certified pedophile” “trying to strike a chord and it’s probably a minorrrrr”

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.
