hmmm in Miss Americana and the heartbreak prince these lines really pop out to me:
they whisper in the hallway she’s a bad bad girl (okay!)
miss American and the heartbreak prince (okay!)
To me, it sounds like she's agreeing with what they’re saying, even though she thinks it’s stupid...Even the tone she sings these phrases sounds super sarcastic to me, emphasized with the “okay!” I almost wonder if she’s singing as if Miss Americana iw Karlie and heartbreak prince is jerk. Tay’s singing about the flaws in society with our standards of relationships and gender roles and how we give labels to everything...
She’s telling Karlie to come home, that she doesn’t want to go up against the forces that hold them apart because it’ll be painful and messy but she knows the struggle is going to be worth it. It would be so tempting to run away together, but they have too much riding on it all and they have to hold out and fight the good fight!
maybe :-)
I don’t understand why people are upset with JK Rowling, like why does anyone take her opinions about gender identity seriously? she is uneducated, not an intellect in any way, she writes make believe stories for CHILDREN about magic and other made up shit. She is not intelligent and doesn’t deserve the kind of attention and consideration she’s got on these issues she’s chosen to wage war against. Leave it alone JK, stick to writing your make believe and keep your head out of affairs that concerns actual humans!
Misogyny is alive and well but now it is not even acknowledged as misogyny anymore.
I don’t know if it was a consequence of TRAs, libfems, MRAs, right wing backlash, or hyper wokeism. Probably all of the above. We are living in hell.
It’s giving the Blank Space MV castle. Also Cupid??? You mean the literal creature responsible for forcing people into a relationship without consent? Cool cool cool.

Too rageful to be eloquent right now so the words of others will have to suffice for the moment.
You go girls 🌈😊 Proud
She Came Prepared The Daily Politics presenter was chatting to Charlotte and Henrietta about banning unhealthy food in schools.

to whatever teenager needs to hear this:
statistically your generation is having less underage sex & drinking less & doing fewer drugs & generally making better choices than your parents’ generation
the shit you see on tv is just a bunch of middle-aged tv producers (who should know better) sexualizing you & projecting onto your age group.
do your best not to internalize it as normal, and absolutely call them on their bullshit.
When Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges surrounding his murder of George Floyd, the conversation found on Tumblr (and elsewhere online) reflected two major points:
This is not justice being served. There is no justice in the face of murder, and if there were, it certainly would not be found within the American carceral system. The verdict stemming from this trial will not stop the violence and oppression Black people face at the hands of an over-policed country.
“Black people don’t need reminders that Chauvin’s guilty verdict doesn’t mean the fight is over. It’s okay to celebrate small victories.”
These truths are not at odds with each other. They can, and will, co-exist.
Take a moment today to celebrate George Floyd and his beautiful family. Keep his little daughter in your mind and hearts. If you want to feel a bit of relief that at least one person was found guilty for their hateful, heinous crime—please do so. And then remember that it was just one person. Remember that if you are an ally and an accomplice, you must not stop learning. You must not stop fighting for real justice.
Accountability for police killings is rare:
Since 2005, 140 law enforcement officers have been arrested for on-duty manslaughter and murder. Only 8—5%—have been convicted.
And that doesn’t account for the 98% of police killings where there were no arrests for murder or manslaughter.
Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police
And then yesterday, roughly one hour after Nancy Pelosi thanked George Floyd for “sacrificing” his “life for justice,” police in Columbus, Ohio shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant.
That is not what justice looks like.
Rest in power, George Floyd.
Rest in power, Ma’Khia Bryant.
