Dude holy shit. Taylor Swift fans literally getting cooked alive at a concert venue transformed into a tin foil oven tray in brazil.
I was gonna amend this to make clear that I don’t think Taylor Swift could be individually responsible for the decisions that lead to the death of Ana Clara Benevides (nor the fan killed in relation to ANOTHER of her concerts that week) until I read about the cover up. Taylor Swifts team is releasing false information to English-speaking outlets implying that the fan died before the show started, when in fact she died during the performance- where they were also using FUCKING PYROTECHNICS as audience members were passing out from heat exhaustion!!!
Doesn’t matter her personal level of involvement- she is the empress, she is in charge of her whole team, and the hiring/firing/management of folks who would make systemic decisions to undervalue the lives of her dumbass fans are on her shoulders. I also do not think her team would make decisions like this in the US- I think the lives of these poc fans mean less to Taylor because the US media will not do independent reporting on the deaths of Brazilians and her teams culpability in those deaths, and will instead run whatever narrative Swifts team puts forward. Fuck this racist ass woman. Both screenshots are from the garbage day newsletter by Ryan Broderick.
I am once again reminding people that it wasn’t unusual to have this sort of politics on the radio in the 2010s. It’s not ahead of its time, your culture just got fascist since then.
I’ve seen people do these for a bit, so ima hop on this bandwagon.
If this post gets 1,000 notes by the end of January, then I will pick up an unreal engine project I started to learn the basics and make a small video gamig
As I grow older I feel my capacity to understand that Miss Piggy is not a real person reached a peak in my adolescence and is now on a steady decline. I watched a Wendy Williams interview and there’s this part that’s like “can we get a ring cam!” and Miss Piggy shows her bling and I’m just like fuck she’s so iconic. Miss Piggy who are you wearing? Miss Piggy have you ever considered running for office??
Like literally every time I see Miss Piggy there’s a period where I need to readjust to the fact that it’s not a person, and I feel that period is getting longer and longer with every instance
now all my Youtube recommendations are filled with Miss Piggy interviews. I’m not complaining. Miss Piggy what’s your secret to ageing so graciously
It’s not just the audience; professional journalists, hosts, and actors report it is legitimately difficult to not see the Muppet as a person, and it is, in fact, incredibly easy to interview or act with them once the performer gets properly set up.
Like that one time they couldn’t figure out why Kermit’s audio was so garbage… then realized they’d put the mic on him instead of the performer.
I will stab every single one of you fucknut chickenshit cockbiscuit cunts!
My hat is not stupid! It’s a perfectly acceptable gnome and wizard hat!
Dude chill tf out
NEVER
Ur hat is stupid, FYI
DO NOT INSULT MY HAT’S INTELLIGENCE
Nobody’s insulting your hat’s intelligence. Everybody is insulting your fashion sense, though
My hat is alive. So by saying that, you are calling a living thing stupid. Which is intelligence related. Calling an inanimate object stupid is a different insult.
If your hat is alive it’s wearing you as an accessory and i should doubt its fashion sense

So I haven’t talked about this on main before, but the situation in South Gaza has gotten so horrifying that I’m p much throwing caution to the wind to desperately plead for eyes on this. I’m raising awareness about stories from activists in Gaza right now, including one of our own.
My lovely, wonderful friend Swin (aka tumblr user @combaticon) was deployed as a volunteer medic to a Gaza hospital on the 9th.
When the bloodshed started, she heard they needed extra hands in Gaza, she spoke Arabic and had the training, and she went.
I’ve been in contact with her throughout. She’s so incredibly brave it takes my breath away. My heart bleeds for these children she’s taking care of and how resilient they are is… astonishing.
Swin and these poor people have been under siege for so long, and they’re in desperate need of critical supplies. They have to filter water through their clothes, and it’s getting dangerously cold. Foods finally been getting through, but there’s not enough blankets and jackets to go around and there’s no fuel for the generators.
Their comrades in the West Bank have been completely pushed out by settler thugs. It’s incredibly unsafe to even be doing humanitarian work for Palestinians. Remember this the next time a Zionist tells you they’re doing this to ‘feel safe’. The IOF is arming lynch mobs.
On a personal note, this has been the most gut-wrenching week of my life. Every day when I wake up without a text from her I feel so much fear. I fight back the grief but I don’t know how to help or what to do. It’s terrifying.
Swin has asked for nothing, absolutely nothing other than something it can show the people around it to make them feel like they’re not going to be abandoned. To make sure they’re not forgotten in some pit praying Rafah opens before Israel decides to slaughter them all.
Today was a bad day. She’s alive but beyond worrying about her privacy now; she’s asked me to share this and to beg that we not lose steam and forget about them. Please share this, and please keep being fucking annoying and loud and digging your heels in with fury because we cannot let these people die silently.
Please keep in mind that the Global Conscience Convoy is NOT soliciting donations, and registration is to sign up for attendance to the actual event in Cairo. There’s a list of other actions you can do to boost awareness for their protest at Rafah on the website.
I abbreviate “Beetlejuice” to “BJ” with my one friend whose special interest is Beetlejuice and it’s fine, it’s protocol, it’s a Tuesday afternoon, but I just did it with another friend via the sentence, “I don’t even like BJ that much. I just wanna see that worm,” and it was a little less than fine, I think.
also this popular and often employed statement of „terfs are all miserable and want others to be miserable“ is not just a symptom of „everything has to make me. feel.good“-ery but also showing their asses like its nothing like oh what next? youre going to call me a hag? a crazy cat lady? youre going to call feminists the fun police? am i too hysteric for you, should i get a lobotomy? please. this is just conservative and meninist anti-feminism repackaged. like sorry it makes you feel bad when we talk about all the ways men make women suffer and how women are complicit in their own oppression. im going to call the babysitter to take care of you while mommy is having adult conversations with her friends shhh its okay
So the banner ad didn’t scale down for the mobile browser and it took me multiple minutes to realize that this stock photo of people in business suits was not, in fact, an illustration of what oathbreaker paladins in service to an evil power are supposed to look like
the thing about adblock detection stuff is that for popular websites where the demand exists for an adblock it’s such a losing battle. best case scenario for the corporation is that the adblock will be broken for maybe a week before someone circumvents it again and adds that to the public blocklist. there is no adblock detection method that’s immune to the adblocker just lying to the website
“you know where the real money is? the set of people who go out of their way to avoid being advertised to. they’re probably ESPECIALLY susceptible to advertisement, I’d imagine”
trying to figure out the funniest crackpot stance on who is the current Roman emperor, and accepting suggestions (tenuous historical justification required)
i literally fucking blinked and this shit happened istg y’all are insane—
Fuck it. Spread this post to every nook and cranny on tumblr. Prove to everyone that this site is ALIVE and FLOURISHING and that it will last for fucking DECADES
