I really feel like not enough has been said about this:
Ana Clara Benevides died because Taylor Swift and her team decided to ban personal water bottles at the concert during a heat wave and did not make provisions for an alternate free water source. The water available to buy at the concert was not effectively distributed and many people in the crowd of 60,000 found themselves unable to access it. Many other people also suffered from the heat and poor concert management.
Read the whole goddamn page if you have the time. What an absolute clusterfuck. Ana Clara Benevides was a VIP ticket holder. I have a friend who bought the same kind of ticket and the price is…..fucking exorbitant. That a fan could pay so much, and still lose her life due to gross incompetence, is a testament to the greed and power abuse that’s going on here. It’s also a pretty powerful statement about the effects of climate change and uh. The private jets aren’t fucking helping. Despite her incredible wealth, Taylor Swift did not offer any financial assistance with the funeral. Her fans did. Taylor Swift’s greed and rapacious appetite for fame are the only things that outweigh her spectacular perpetual victim complex. I am beyond sick of her shit.
im seeing people on the tags like "fuck the kendrick lamar drake drama talk about palestine" like.
I've not seen ppl as mad about people blogging about other fandoms or hell, TADC (no hate! just wrong place at wrong time) which was trending here on tumblr at the same time as kendrick.
why are you specifically singling out people talking about a real life black man who constantly incorporates discussions of political issues, discrimination, and history of racism into his art.
this whole drama is about drake, who profits and the image of being black while being severely disconnected from the culture and history. (this didnt feel like a good explanation, many others in the tag have talked about it please check that out)
like think to yourself why are you mad at people talking about specifically kendrick over other fanbases
you’re a disgusting racist person. you aren’t a poc, i highly doubt that. how fucking dare you invalidate what so many hindu and indian people have stated? stop worshipping your white feminist queen and open your eyes to her racism.
I don’t care if you believe I’m a poc. You don’t know me. I never invalidated anyone. I stated that I don’t believe Taylor’s karma music video makes her racist. I’m not racist just because I don’t agree with people who think she is. Kudos for saying this off anon tho.
It WILL COME BACK IS BACK! And its still absolutely feral.
Swifties can't think bc I'm seeing them out here calling Taylor the music industry
Babe the only reason that album is even in the top 100 is bc of the cult streaming it 24h long and blocking other artists to succeed
I promise you no one gives a shit about ttpd
Genocide succeeds because of silence. Every silent person aids it. You cannot influence politicians without influencing enough people to pressure them. You cannot start at the end.
Palestinians ask so so so so little of us, to stand up and say we oppose genocide. And they tell us what gives them hope amidst the unimaginable horror of their lives that it will ever end: protests like the student encampments making noise and people with platforms speaking up despite criticism.
And people who aren't Palestinian decide from their comfort that Palestinians are wrong in what little they ask for and what they see changing the tides. Because the alternative, that their wealthy famous fave is aiding the status quo, is too unbearable to them.
Lmao how is this real, "the ambient sounds of the world were wrong, sir"
Sorry but I do think giving your lover a lock of your hair or a vial of your blood is incredibly romantic
The protests at Emory university in Atlanta have been met with the most violent police brutality by far. Students have been tased, tear gassed shot with rubber bullets and THEY WILL NOT STOP because they are courageous Beings with a heart to match and the common people will not accept anything less than a Free Palestine 🙏🍉
Idk if anyone here has been paying any attention whatsoever to the Drake vs Kendrick beef but I am losing my mind over this comment
