nobody better be posting about the met gala without mentioning the giant pro-palestine demonstration going on outside

I think Sam Reich needs to do just one regular, normal, vanilla version of Game Changer randomly so that when it ends Brennan never feels safe.

Game Changer; The Placebo episode.

Rapper Macklemore is releasing a track called “Hind’s Hall”, speaking out on the genocide of Palestinians, and the United States complacency in this ongoing violence. Macklemore has stated that once the track drops on streaming, all proceeds from streams will be going directly to UNRWA— the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East.

The new tracks namesake Hind’s Hall echoes the honours that Columbia University encampment protestors bestowed the Morningside Heights campus’ Hamilton Hall— in memory of Hind Rajab, the 6 year old Palestinian girl in Gaza who was shot by Israeli soldiers after being trapped inside a vehicle, with her dead family. She had begged to be rescued as tanks closed in on her.

Macklemore using his platform to vehemently speak out against genocide, the Israeli occupation and United States-led violence is what every single artist should be doing right now. The power of art should not be underestimated. Macklemore started out in the Hip-Hop scene within communist circles, namely working alongside Blue Scholars, and has never neglected his Leftism through out his career: the artist has spoken on issues regarding mental health, addiction, racial profiling and police violence, Capitalism, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights and toxicity of American culture.

“The Nakba never ended, the colonizer lied” Hind’s Hall, Macklemore, 2024

Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.

Seriously people, learn fandom etiquette. It exists, it exists for extremely good reasons, and it's been decades in the making.

You know the saying, 'OSHA regulations are written in blood'? Yeah, that applies to fandom etiquette. We didn't make this shit up to lord it over newcomers, these rules evolved as a form of fucking self-defense and by god we'll die on this hill.

If Emily plays a new character for senior year I think it should be a resurrected Lucy. How awesome would that be???? For Lucy to get adopted by the bad kids, to be taken care of after Porter and Jace are taken care of. Maybe the Rat Grinders are rehabilitated and are kind of in the back round. Maybe there not. Whatever, I think it would be a really cool dynamic. Lucy seemed like the heart of the high five heroes and the bad kids would need a new one if Fig leaves.

love the idea that all of adaine simulacrums are british

Just a reminder about fatphotoref.com—it exists!! I'll be updating with new photos next week and hopefully more regularly after that. Request access by going to bit.ly/fpraccess 💙🧜‍♀️ happy mer may!

It is not Mermay anymore, but the moment I saw these mermaid poses, I knew I wanted to paint one of them for exercise :D So last night I finally managed to do that. Colour-wise I wanted to do something inspired by Yuming Li, because their delicate balance of colours is so incredibly fascinating, and I want to understand it.

I'm just going to leave this here, because this woman said what I've been trying to articulate for ages much more effectively and succinctly than I've been able to

ATTENTION MUTUALS:

Pinning this, because everything she says in this video is so important. And if I see ANY of my mutuals (or anyone else for that matter) reblogging and/or pushing anything even close to the "don't vote" narrative, I'm blocking you on sight from now on.

I'm SICK of these takes that all just amount to "don't vote," because that's how Trump won in 2016. Because of idiots not voting. I know. I was there. I was one of them. And it's one of the biggest regrets of my life due to all the damage Trump did. And if you're too ignorant to know what a disaster he has been for our rights, and for the world, and what a boon he's been to far right extremists everywhere in the world who make Biden look like a saint, then... *exhales deeply.* Just google it or something.

Also lemme just repeat one thing she said in this video ALL of you need to get through your heads:

THE GOP WANTS TO CONTINUE THE GENOCIDE OVER THERE AND START ONE HERE TOO.

So it's not like you're actually helping anyone by not voting. You're just being selfish, short sighted, and foolish.

you guys know you can get USB connectable CD, dvd, and blu-ray players right. and you can buy external hard drives with crazy amounts of space for an amount of money that would make the average person from 2009’s head explode bc of how cheap it is. and if you do this and get ripping software such as handbrake for CDs and DVDs and makeMKV for blurays you can both own a physical copy of whatever media you want and make it accessible to yourself no matter where you are. do you guys know this

lots of people are reblogging this and tagging it #piracy—i should clarify, this is not piracy! ripping DVDs and CDs to have your own copy is fully legal, because it’s your legal right to do what you will with your property individually. it only becomes illegal if you then distribute that file on the internet.
