I honestly rarely want to hear celebrity takes on politics in any particular depth bc u realize none of the qualities they are financially rewarded for having have anything to do with developing robust politics?

These people are most often just paid to be hot and seem cool. At best they've got talent but talent is no guarantee of the kind of critical thinking you need to have to align yourself properly with the people.

So idk I don't mind Chappell Roan saying she's not massively jazzed about Kamala and then saying no comment going forward lol. I don't want a dissertation from her I want good music. She's a musician not a theorist. An entertainer, not a revolutionary.

How many revolutionaries do you know that started out their political program by saying "first I need to have a massively successful music career to become really famous and have a lot of money, then it's time to overthrow the rich-OH WAIT"

Ijs. It's not real important to me to hear their takes that as likely as not some PR firm writes for them. I thought the whole point was to be ANTI capitalist like let's dig a lil deeper there friends

@deliberately_me @so_treu I was just thinking about that vid the other day too!! Sang it quietly to myself while biking home the other day lmao

@fyrfli @Ember

Literally every other person in this thread: "Just stop talking and listen for once!!"
One brave white man, tears streaming down his face as he yells: "BUT HOW?!?!"
😭

@JessTheUnstill @puppygirlhornypost2 nah it was genuinely from my college, specifically they are having a talk on the subject which is why they were reaching out

@fyrfli @Ember

Damn.... We got a live one, folks! Lmao

@fyrfli IT'S ALMOST AS IF!!!

@majorlinux WHEW that's a doozy. I remember my first year working in education, we were watching a clip of Obama talking about how they were going to protect the middle class, and at the time I was working in a Title I school so all the kids were very poor. One of them (7th grader) came up to me and asked me why politicians never talked about the poor. I didn't know how to explain it to him.

@aroacemagicalnerd @puppygirlhornypost2 omg I LITERALLY WOULD RUN AWAY FROM PHOTOGRAPHERS TOO

I would play it off like it was a joke but deadass I would Flee. And they would always try...

Just got an email from my alma mater talking about how concerned they are about the public losing faith in higher education, and like...... What exactly did y'all think was gonna happen?? So many of these institutions think they can just do whatEVER they want with no consequences.

How are y'all treating the students in your colleges right now? People have noticed what's been happening. Can't go to a protest, can't be from a black or brown country, can't even write a damn article without getting beaten up by cops, getting your degree canceled, or getting disappeared by the fucking Gestapo/slave patrol/KKK, whichever name they're going by today.

How affordable is attendance? How many college grads are getting well paying jobs? How are them student loans looking? How cooperative are y'all being with the fascists running the government?

So the public's losing faith, you say.... I wonder why.

@davidddd69 lmao nobody cares what you have to say about anything. go make 16 more accounts for attention since you have nothing else in life

Y'all, I know we've learned the terms "white passing" and "colorism", etc. and there are appropriate times for us to bring them up. For instance, when discussing who is given opportunities and why: it's important to understand the realities, and it's important to communicate those to others.

But if you find yourself making determinations about who is "white passing" and what that should mean to people in Black communities, back the fuck up.

@moo

@nyxallocer it's sad FR

@CaribenxMarciaX as always lol!

@androcat this is a perfect fediverse example of an unhelpful response. Ignoring everything I said and focusing on one sentence that was completely tangential to my point so you can act like you're correcting me.

As if I didn't know what Nazi is an abbreviation of LMAO go lecture someone else weirdo

@clayote the meme is not of me

Must be a day that ends in Y because here go eris' nasty ass misgendering me and being antiblack again, unprompted. Idk why she can't keep my name out of her raggedy mouth when I haven't spoken about her in months (yes I do, this is typical racist white woman behavior) but clearly she just can't help herself.

In case you need a refresher from the last time she did this, you can find my thread about it here: https://blackqueer.life/@tillshadeisgone/113110298263049644

This time around, she did more or less the same thing, once again trying to delegitimize my blackness and ALSO mock the very idea that I can be transfeminine with a beard. You can see the post here: https://archive.is/LF0fI

So, we've done this already but I just want to emphasize one thing here. It's a lot of people on the fediverse who claim to be anti transmisia and pro trans people who refused to lift one finger to condemn eris when she did this before.

Her post was transmisogynistic last time and this post is transmisogynistic too (and transmisogynoir as well, actually, but people tune me out when I talk about that). So to those people I have this to say: You have no claim to the moral high ground, no intersectionality in your analysis, and you have no business claiming to be an advocate for trans people if you don't stand up and say something about this.

She always acts like this towards Black folks on the fediverse and too many of y'all act like you can't see it. Are we not in the midst of a trans genocide? Are the fash not targeting Black and brown people left and right? WHY is it okay that she claims to be on the left but aligns herself with some shit the white house would put out?

Are you good with that???? I'm so tired of this.

@aroacemagicalnerd it's definitely no great options but for me, high temporary stress tends to be more possible to slightly mitigate during or repair damage from after whereas PTSD is a lot more intractable. That said, intense short term stress can ALSO aggravate chronic issues and LEAD to trauma, so there's that too...

Happy TDOV :Fire_BlackTrans:

Now watch it though! :black_trans_knife: this is NOT the day to try one of my users. Thank you :be_cool:

@puppygirlhornypost2 LITERALLY. I was like are y'all SERIOUS with this?!
