"the idol is raw and real because it's a britney spears allegory/satire" is there a reason why we need to see fictionalized britney spears (a woman who is real and alive and has feelings) have explicit bad sex with the weeknd for this 'abuses of famous young women' narrative to work? are we sure it's not just because on frequent occasion sam likes to direct softcore porn for himself and no one else on hbo's payroll?
why did sam levinson and the weeknd make fictionalized britney spears the villain of the story at the last minute????

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website
do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again? try neocities!!
what is neocities?
neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."
why should I make my own website?
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

Hey btw former user butchlesbian aka a pretty well known terf, has remade as butchlesbianz and has some popular humor posts going around, including this one. All you have to do is look at her top posts to know shes a pretty fucking vile one, the link is direct so just block asap
This is, without exaggeration, her pinned post. The one she wants you to see so you know who she is.
she changed her url to ‘transwomenarestillmen’.
She has now moved again to transmeowgynistic
[ID: a screenshot of former user butchlesbianz old blog, butchlesbian, which is now blank with the exception of a small green cat drawing as the avatar and the blog title "moved to Transmeowgynistic"]
Please be cautious looking at the aforementioned new blog for proof or when blocking/reporting because theres so many horribly transmisogynist post in her top post; mostly screenshots from reddit threads where she paints trans women as predatory. Also its truly upsetting realizing so many of her cat videos are spread on here without a single person blinking at that blatantly transmisogynist url...

all the mangoes I've eaten have been from north american supermarkets so I assume I've been eating bottom 40% mangoes my whole life and they're still so good even at that level that I think the first time I eat a real mango I'll probably really flip my lid
