this should be overwhelmingly fucking obvious but i've not said it with my whole chest as i should've. the politics of interpersonal connections in my day to day academic life introduce a level of complexity that i do not have to fucking deal with here, because this is the internet.

if you don't support the total liberation of Palestine i do not want you here. i alraedy know and in the most way i am capable of respect the people who soft blocked me alraedy realizing that we have different visions of this world. but i will emphasize again

if you do not support the liberation of Palestine get the fuck away from me. this is more important than whatever the fuck i could ever post about on the blog, this is self evident but i am articulating it anyway.

my silence has been because i have acted in person and thus utilize social sites with in person connections (and tumblr barely functions for me anymore).

but reminder that we are still ALL EYES ON PALESTINE.

if you can't go to an action, donate. if you can't donate, go to an action. if you can't do either, say something. raise awareness. your silence is violence & your inaction is violence & even if it's just two words on tumblr, two words wherever the hell you are, your daily click ETC. that is something. that is breaking your silence.

if you are going out, remember your rights. if you are in the US write the national lawyers guild number for your region on your arm, mask, don't go alone, bring mobile chargers bring medication bring a jacket bring water.

if you are donating, find the solidarity funds in your area for the actions right now. go fund mes, ven mos, e-sims, organizations, whatever you can when you can.

repost accounts & uplift.

the police, the universities, this country, the global powers of our world do NOT keep us safe. you and your community keep each other safe.

Palestine WILL be free. if you don't stand for Palestinian liberation, you do not stand for queer liberation, you do not stand for decolonization & an end to oppression.

this is about Palestine and Gaza and the martyrs and revolutionaries there. remember that & say it & sit with your discomfort & know that the people who will uplift you do not wear police vests, do not speak at the head of a university, do not sit in the white house.

i really hope the next time i consume or smoke that shit that makes you silly i actually get the pain relief side effects of it, because that's apparently really common and would be awesome. when i was sillied out though i was in excruciating pain for some reason

i kind of get it from a "theyre trying to do the collegehumor -> dropout.tv thing" angle but its also like. does watcher.... even produce enough varied content to justify its own platform??? idk im just a touch-and-go fan but i guess this means im not a fan anymore period lol 😭 i get that youtube is bad but making more streaming services is not the answer.??? to me??? i feel like they couldve joined an already established platform a la nebula but. ok . LMFAO. (hope u dont mind the paragraph obviously ur not an authority on this topic et ceteraaa)

NO THIS IS LIKE EXACTLY WHAT ME AND MY BEST FRIEND WERE TALKING ABOUT ... it's just like a strange maneuver because yes people are exhausted with Youtube and they need to get paid somehow but I really don't know what the long term outcome would be considering (1) their audience largely cannot pay for a subscription service, and frankly i don't know how many people are going to follow them to their other platform and (2) they don't really seem to do enough as you said for it to make sense? if they take on other projects which they'll probably do in the long term then like sure yeah that makes more sense, but as it stands it's confusing. but also i actually know nothing except, as i've said before, that i am an attack dog in human form so that's really where i'm coming at this from.

one fundamental thing to understand about me is that i immediately tunnel vision if anything upsets my closest friends (not everyone thankfully! but like the besties). if this doesn't explain literally everything i've ever done in my life then simply investigate further <3

ok sorry i'll calm down. look i am no.1 paying the artists supporter i just really deeply feel that moving most of their content (not all ik they'll keep up past stuff and post debuts etc) to a paid platform is like... genuinely so not a strategic maneuver. but whatever. living the vida loca

saw someone say the streaming service watcher is going to is only available in the usa 😭what a crazy choice

i would need to verify this bc i can't imagine them being that stupid but if that is the case then they're actually fucking insane like. huh

like i get paying the artist or whatever that's a fair enough point. but just take the fucking ad. you're Youtube's golden kids you can do it. you're not exactly antithetical to what advertisers want and you know they will pay you so much. whatever. whatever.

YEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH pineye art :)

EAT YOUR FRIENDS | Jhariah and Pinkshift

Went to the Jhariah show in Milwaukee this past week and it went so harddd. Absolutely immaculate stage presence. My buddy took a photo during the song Sunsets and the lighting was NUTS. They look like they're blasting us with radiation. Angelic glow... I HAD to do a study of it. Stream PIN-EYE NEOWWW!!!

💥LIKE MY JOB’S TO ASTOUND YOU💥

when when when….. Jhariah…..

Jhariah's TRUST CEREMONY is my favorite album of all time, usurping the Måneskin album i had clung onto for so long as my favorite (or maybe they tie)... TRUST CEREMONY is an actual fucking masterpiece and i can't believe i got to see him live too.

that being said it was at the cost of Watcher pulling such a stupid, too rich for critical thinking maneuver (which my best friend told me about) and Taylor Swift releasing what is genuinely the worst album she has ever created and maybe the worst album I've ever listened to at all. but it's okay because Jhariah <3

canceled therapy and immediately the friend drama 🙄 psychiatrists HATE this guy

i love that my philosophy professor of two semesters now gives us agency to write about effectively whatever we'd like for our final research paper. anyway i'm about to liberalize the hell out of the stanley parable
