For Personal Reasons I Will Be Passing Away

“Gorillaz really need to slow it down with the politics! They need to go back to their normal dance music like they used to do, none of this new political business! They’re going to lose viewers if they keep shoving their beliefs in our faces like this!“

I was going to keep in the tags but nah

Dirty harry was about the Iraq war. November has come was calling out George W. Bush’s shitty presidency. Rhinestone eyes was a piece on how corporate pollution is affecting our oceans. Ascension was about racism and police violence. Hallelujah money!!! Submission!!! Let me out!!! None of this is new for them

You don’t have to enjoy music about politics, but don’t listen to music about politics and then complain that it’s about politics! There’s so much music out there; listen to something else if it’s that bothersome to you that’s some musicians think racism, war and capitalism just isn’t cool

Gorillaz was a commentary against capitalism from its inception. Damon and Jamie hated how the charts were full of music that they felt wasn’t authentic, was created with the goal of what will make the most money.

And their response to manufactured pop music was to literally manufacture a band. A band where all the players are literally two dimensional created fictions.

Gorillaz was social commentary from the start. Watch the video for Rock It.

Where’ve you been, man?

Even fucking Feel Good, Gorillaz’s most iconic song, was about the evils of media corporations that sneakily inject pro fascist propaganda into music.

Gideon Mendel’s The Ward

Memories from the heart of the Aids crisis shows true love in a time of terrible tragedy.

These heartbreaking and incredibly moving images show the affection and love shown during the height of the Aids crisis. Photographer Gideon Mendel’s project The Ward began in 1993 when he spent a number of weeks on the Charles Bell wards in London’s Middlesex Hospital. All the patients on the ward were dying with the knowledge that there was no cure for the disease. During this time antiretroviral medications were not available and patients on the ward faced the prospect of an early death.

Part of attempts to ban all research that involves human fetal tissue, because the superstitious feelings of anti-choice fanatics over useless, garbage corpse flesh is apparently more important than any number of entire human lives.

reblog and put in the tags what your total number of notes across all original posts are from this site. it also gives you your top 9 posts.

Fun fact, hammering metal spikes into tree trunks is a federal crime in the US because environmental activists used to do it in the 80s to fuck up chainsaws and logging equipment.

So you should never use this effective strategy for disrupting logging operations because it is illegal.

Here’s a link describing exactly how to do it, so you can make sure not to by accident.

hey guys! a lot of our followers have been reblogging this post telling us that doing this will harm workers and trees! i understand your concern, and i even get why you believe that. the thing is, you don’t spike every tree in a forest and then walk away. you spike a few of the trees that are slated to be cut down, then you put up a sign or send an email telling the loggers that some of the trees in this area have been spiked

spiking a tree has a small chance to cause an infection in the tree. but cutting a tree down has a Huge chance of killing the tree, and they cut down a lot of trees

this has also never harmed workers. iirc, there was one example of a logger getting hit with a chainsaw chain, but it was disputed as to whether or not the tree had been spiked. in reality, it only harms their equipment, making it very expensive to cut down any of the trees in the area, just in case

many of us believe these things, because the logging industry dumped tons of money into propaganda to stop us from protesting their actions, either by convincing us that what they’re doing is good, or by convincing us that what we’re doing is worse

so remember, do your own research, punch nazis, and buy recycled paper

i know everyone’s like ‘2018 has been so long! black panther came out this year!’ and stuff but the one that really shook me was that queer eye came out this year

what the fuck

The reality is that the United States occupation of Puerto Rico has always been violent, abusive, coercive, and wrong. The entire system of US control of Puerto Rico must end.

If you aren’t Puerto Rican, you really need to shut up about what’s going on in Puerto Rico. I promise you that you don’t know anything about the island, you don’t know anything about the politics of the island, you don’t know anything about the history of the island. Don’t speak on it. If you don’t know who Blanton Winship is, shut up. If you don’t know Pedro Albizu Campos, shut up. If you cannot tell me about the Ponce Massacre, the forced sterilization of Puerto Rican women, the cultural genocide at the hands of the United States, the century and a quarter of displacement, famine, and death on my island, the unelected Fiscal Control Board, then shut your fucking mouth before you talk about my country. I guarantee that those who do not know shit about Puerto Rico are the loudest people talking about how incompetent we must be to let this happen. Point your fingers at your colonial government. Death to the Yankee colonizer murderers.

                       !!!!!!!!! BREAKING NEWS !!!!!!!!!!

The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled former sex slave Cyntoia Brown MUST serve 51 years in prison before she is eligible for parole.

According to them:

For those of you who haven’t yet caught up to this story:

Cyntoia Brown was a 16 yr old girl, who at the time of the incident was living in a room at a Nashville InTown Suites with Allen (the man who propositioned her for sex) because her pimp and boyfriend Garion McGlothen, nick-named “Kut Throat,” insisted that she needed to earn money.

Kut Throat abused her physically and sexually throughout the approximately three week period in which she lived with him.

After Allen took her to his house, he showed Cyntoia multiple guns, including shotguns and rifles. Later in bed, as she described in court, he grabbed her violently by the genitals, his demeanor became threatening and, fearing for her life, she took a gun out of her purse and shot him.

stolen from a homophobic and transphobic article because this is a fucking MOOD

did u know wanting friends is an aroace experience?

bonus:

aroace culture is being a horrible friend apparently

straight culture is “breakup prank” being a thing

on their anniversary.

and he still posted it????

Um…excuse me, but why is this labeled as “Straight Culture”? Are you saying this is something only straight people would do, because as a straight person, we aren’t all that stupid. I’m not saying that straight people are better than any other kind of person, I’m just asking that you don’t label us under something so offensive. I mean, how would you feel if I said that (in the right circumstances) this was “gay culture” or “trans culture” or “bi culture”. Doesn’t seem fair does it? Again, I’m not saying all gay/trans/bi people are stupid enough to do this, but neither are straight people. Thank you.

shut up straightie

Oh, fuck you. I tried being as respectful as possible, but yet again you guys just read only what you want! I was just saying straight people aren’t bad people, we are just as good and bad as anybody who is LGBTQ+. You guys want to stop being generalized? Well then stop generalizing us!

straight people are bad

Can you tell me why?

being straight is unnatural

PFGHEYHADFBEHLNCD

WHAT!?

THAT IS LITERALLY THE STUPIDEST THING IVE EVER HEARD! XD

being straight is a sin

You are joking right? Please tell me this is a joke. Surely nobody could be that stupid.

no i’m serious

I’m starting to question how you have the IQ necessary to use a keyboard if you truly think you are correct here.

it says right on the first page of the bible that god hates cishets

I’m going to argue against this in two parts.

“GOD created Adam and Eve and realized cishets were a mistake.” is the opening line of the bible

It is very clearly not. I’m pretty sure that “cishets” was not a term used back when the bible was written.

that’s fake, actually

Ok, I’m done. Say waht you want, but you are wrong and everyone knows it. You can stop trying now. It would be a waste of your energy, not that I care anyway.

they went and googled the opening fucking line lahlahlusdfghajlfghjl;adhgat

Y’all can’t say capitalism isn’t evil. The reason why all these food outbreaks are happening is because Trump lowered the FDA restrictions for food safety and all the companies rushed to not do shit to keep food safe. You can’t divorce all these food recalls from the fact that they will cut cornor sand make everyone sick if there wasn’t government laws saying otherwise.

Anyway I just finished episode 4 of sally face like a few days ago and that made me remember the time y’all made me see porn of it I didn’t forget

you know. you don’t gotta make porn of everything. I don’t want to see some things :)

ok but like shout out to all my girls with skin conditions like eczema or acne or keratosis pilaris, etc. society paints such a false picture of women as having perfectly clear and soft skin and like….that ain’t true. so many of us have bumps and scars and dryness and redness and no matter what we do it won’t go away. but yall are perfect okay like believe me i still don’t love my skin but its so Wrong that we hate ourselves so much for something so trivial. you’re beautiful okay and so is your skin i love u.
