Do you write music with the view of being politically active and delivering a message or does it just happen and the rest follows?
ALL THINGS ARE INTERCONNECTED SO DEEPLY SO AS TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO DILENIATE IN ANY MEANINGFUL MEANNER. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO INTERACT WITH THESE CONNECTIONS BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY DO NOT EXIST
Found my 53yo very-much-not-online father in the kitchen today meticulously arranging cutlery on the countertop and i was like 'what are you doing' and he looked up at me with the world's most shit-eating grin and said "Your mother told me this is how you rick-roll the Youth" and i looked over and it was fucking. Loss.jpg.
i must stress that he's never seen the original comic. My mother simply showed him the shorthand symbol and he memorized it. As far as he is aware this is just a fucking hieroglyph that deals instant psychic damage to everyone under the age of 30
everyone please read this and share if you can.
Brazil is going through one of the worst climatic crisis ever seen.
i live in the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul. we have been suffering from extreme, nonstop rainstorms for a week now. the rivers are flooding, reaching 4-6 meters above their natural level. people are being rescued by helicopters, neighborhoods are being evacuated. entire cities are slowly but surely becoming submerged in water. 60 people missing and counting. 32 deaths and counting.
and this is not new. last november also had a flood like this one. 50 dead, many material losses. it happened again this january, with thousands being left without power or water for days.
three catastrophical disasters within less than a year. three disasters only a few months apart.
this is not natural.
unsustainable agricultural practices and politics led to this. a complete disregard for nature led to this. greed led to this. always greed.
when it comes to the climate crisis, i cannot stress this enough: we need to act now if we still want to live. disasters like this are going to happen more often and they're going to be much, much worse. this flood is being considered the worst climatic catastrophe in the history of my state. i don't know how long it will take for another bigger one to happen and take its place. i just know it will be sooner than it should.

remembering the time i showed my dad knives out and he was like "i thought it was good up until that long explanation at the end" like bro how do you think murder mysteries work

#my family does this thing#when we've majorly unfucked a room or done chore that we were putting off#or whatever. Any sort of household Improvement.#'Come brag on me.'#I means come look I cleaned/rearranged/did dishes/put away the laundry#and the scripted response is 'oh nice it looks SO much better in here now'#like my mom did this when we were kids.#'girls comr brag on the garage I finally organized it so I can get my car in there'#and we go and 'ooh' and 'aah' and tell her how nice it looked and how she did a good job#and we could have her 'come brag on' us for like doing the dishes or cleaning our rooms#I do it to my wife now too#it's a dialogue that means#'I did a chore and it feels like an Accomplishment even if it objectively wasn't a big thing. Please acknowledge this.'#and#'Wow you sure did do a thing. It has improved our material circumstance even if only in a small way. Thank you for doing it.'#like yeah scrubbing the pans is my Job and it's a Little Task but sometimes it feels like a Big Task#and it's nice to have an Accepted Script where I can just demand 'I have functioned as an independent adult praise me with great praise' - by @thepioden
I remember seeing a clip of this years ago this ISNT a case of lazy translation he’s literally saying “speaks Japanese” IN Japanese
no more fantasy media where the short races always get called young/childish looking im ready to concoct an entire high fantasy universe myself where the whole bit is that 90% of the population is various groups of people who are all under 4'8 and all the tall characters are consistently hounded for looking like giant babies
[picture of a wrinkley 3'5 woman gently touching an elf womans hand] the women in the village dont like you because in our culture people as tall as you are demonic curses and you look like you made a deal with the devil to stay perpetually 15 years old so its really not looking that good for you to stay here
elf woman: im one hundred and four
3'5 woman: and you look insane for one hundred and four

they should invent a job that doesn't affect your schedule or energy level that you don't have to go to if you don't want but you still get paid
He’s so right actually

The sick reality is that many of the renowned academics and writers among Gaza's thousands of martyrs will, in twenty years time, be quoted and memorialised by the same universities and institutions that have denigrated them and enabled their slaughter.
