So many people are finding screenshots of celebrities allegedly doing a 'nazi salute,' to try and discredit what people have been saying about Elon Musk.
My favourite most recently has been a picture of Sabrina Carpenter which can easily be discredited.
This is the picture:
And this is the video:
Yep, it's just a young woman waving to her fans.
And this is why when you ask any of them who post the screenshots for a video, they refuse to add it in. Because they know the video is of somebody doing something very normal.
We are so absolutely screwed.
TikTok is back -- for now

Can Biden or Harris speak to this?
Seems calling Nazis a Nazi is unpopular with the journalists and headline writers.
Make them quote you. Call them Nazis.
Fascism is here. Start punching Nazis.
one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

Aegon II Targaryen - Art by yagi.hikaru.art
I remember when I was in middle school, I read a novel about a woman who was a bit fat, a bit neurodivergent and was disliked by her mother. As an adult, she lived completely alone. She was a fan of the Beatles. And I think the subtext was that she was raped when younger and was no longer this virgin she thought herself to be. And for the life of me, I can't remember the title or the author, even though I've wanted to finish this book for the longest time. (I had to take it back to the library)
