Coming to you live from the final Ghost Files show of the tour. Spirits seem pretty high (ha), heard one mention of 'the controversy' in the queue for the loo but that's it. Seems like everyone is here to have a good time! 馃馃馃
platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 馃枻馃嚨馃嚫 may they grow up to see a free palestine
I think what's upset me the most about the Watcher situation is how sudden the desicion was. I feel like the team have just hit the nuclear option right out of the gate without trying other things - I know Spotify doesn't make that much money in the grand scheme of things but how many of us have cried out for PU songs on some sort of streaming service so we can play them away from Youtube? I know merch sales involve third parties but the selection has been dog water for a while and I was dying for something new - my Professor badge broke and I was so sad I couldn't just buy a new one, shipping costs be damned!
We all had so much good will. I feel like if the boys had done a merch drop and just said "guys we really need help. Please buy the new merch for us, let's sell out this weekend, we'd appreciate it" it would have happened. Look at the Professor plushies, they sold in a matter of days all over the world. The fucking UK shows sold out in minutes! We crashed the website!
I'm aware this is petty and very unkarmic of me or whatever, but the amount of joy I just experienced logging in to Facebook to discover that a former boss, who bullied me relentlessly and made my mental health significantly worse, fell down a manhole loony toons style, is off the charts.
They're fine. Or they will be. Couple of bruises and a twisted ankle, according to the post I just read. But man, if the photos my other former colleague posted aren't going to keep me entertained for a while.
