I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery
I think people need to get better at saying “maybe, maybe not” or “do I really need an answer?” when faced with uncertainty. this is something that gets taught to people with OCD, but I think the masses would benefit
“what kind of attraction am I feeling?” would it be the end of the world if that question didn’t have an answer?
“am I allowed to identify as x when I’m not sure if it applies to me?” maybe! who cares!
literally. you can apply the “fuck around and find out” method to anything
continuously feeling the need to hunt for answers is going to eat you up inside. take it from me. your life gets so much easier when you let yourself be unsure
holy book of guitars that explains all the basics and added skills really kindly and not intimidating
holy site of guitar tabs/chords for literally millions of songs (don’t download the app it sucks ass)
but the most important thing is practice. put the hours in and reap the rewards.
me when the character has a uniquely fucked mindset. me when the character's fundamental views of how the world works lead to them being hurt and/or hurting others and not seeing the problem with this. me when the character is a little freak who does weird shit because their beliefs, inspired entirely by their environment, are fuckeddddd
The weirdest thing about the ai art debate is the ppl saying art has such a high entry level n clearly ai is the only way to make it accessible
Like have you ever doodled in ur notebook during class before? Have you ever drawn in the sand or on a foggy window?? You can literally give crayons to toddlers
Teens on the Internet did not download ibis paint n spend hours drawing on their phones with their fingers for you to say art is an exclusive club for rich ppl that's sooo hard to get into
Yes some art tools might by stupidly expensive that's a separate problem but no one is stopping you from picking up the cheapest papers n pencils and getting into art no one is stopping you from downloading a free art program on your phone or opening an art site and getting into art you can draw in the notes app for fucks sake
Prepare for trouble, and make it double!
you are amazing
there is truly nothing like mcrp with people you have never met irl and probably never will to make you say the wildest shit
As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.
That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.
Hey remember that a boycott if actually MORE effective under capitalism if you profess you would actually end the boycott under certain conditions.
“Nothing this company does can make up for their bad actions, I will never buy from them again!” Okay so they’ve lost you as a customer and have no reason to try and get you back. You can HOPE to drive them into bankruptcy but Chic-Fil-A is evidence of how well that works.
“This company did something bad. I would not consider buying their product again, UNLESS, they publicly apologized and made up for it by … [donating money to a cause, promoting different content, offering better care to their employees, etc.]” This is actually MORE likely to be effective because if enough people say this, the company m sees them as potential customers of a certain demographic, and is willing to make changes to get those customers back and, long term, make money from them.
