ahhh sorry for the late reply but school and anxiety have been EATING ME ALIVE:
specifically, my favourite blur song is this specific video of a performance of beetlebum:
youtube
just the scratchy quality and damon's vocals are so ethereal i ascend in pure ecstasy whenever i hear it.
but my favourite blur song on the actual recording is probably out of time (great crying and screaming tune) followed closely by popscene (i copy damon's jumpy jumps from the music video until i collapse - that man must have INSANE stamina).
coffee and tv/there's no other way/end of a century are my honorary mentions :)
hey sorry we put your players in a time loop. yeah they can only win by learning, and they can only learn by playing. yeah grant o’brien is carboloading next to their podiums. yeah they know that x equals 8 so y must equal 6. no they can’t use the ladder. yeah now they’re doing the wenis. sorry.
If you're holding back on being masc because you think you need to be a skinny white man to pass, give that the fuck up. Be big if you're big, be brown if you're brown, be assertive, take up space, be whatever the fuck kind of man/masc you are and stop waiting. Stop trying to diminish your power out of fear.
so when you said you wanted to lock me in your evil science chamber for days on end and experiment on me until i go crazy did you mean like.. sexually? haha sorry if im misreading just got a vibe LOL
sometimes u will be the only person fagging it up. sometimes it'll be hard. but u gotta do it. u gotta show all the fags that fagging it up is the way. u must strive to fag it as much as possible. u have a limited time. fag it up and dyke it out
PSA: the guardian is not working on a hit piece on diy hrt, and claims they are are misinformation
on the 18th, this post appeared on 4chan's /lgbt/ (slurs in thread: link). a screenshot was posted to reddit, then to tumblr. you've probably seen it:
today, the 23rd, another screenshot popped up on various discord servers, then was reposted variously to twitter. it shows a supposed email from guardian journalist and notorious TERF Susanna Rustin, claiming as the original 4chan post does.
it's now been shared around, and it's with good intentions. the message is useful: don't share your personal information or medical data with journalists, especially ones that happen to be TERFs.
but the post does this through misinformation and fearmongering. i'm still waiting on my response by email from Rustin, but she's reiterated twice (once, twice) that she did not write the email and is not working on such a story. on the 19th, i talked to other guardian newsroom journalists, who said they also did not know of a story's existence.
the moral of the story: this is misinformation, and it's dangerous. it spreads a fine message here, but it does it through spreading anxiety and terror.
you can follow along with this post on my parallel thread on twitter. also calling on @wakewithgiggli to delete their original post!
the toymaker disseminated a memetic virus among doctor who fans because now there is no way anybody will ever be able to mention the fact that a companion is technically dead-not-dead without somebody piping up with the WELL THAT’S ALRIGHT THEN! and getting twice as many likes. the above thread had nothing to do with the giggle even
i even noticed people applying it to irl contexts. i.e. “young people aren’t facing homelessness en masse, they just have to choose between living at their parents’ house or on the streets. oh well that’s alright then!” stock phrase for the AGES fr. thank you neil patrick harris
