I had no idea Canadian hip hop pioneer Maestro Fresh Wes had a new career making kids' music! He won the Juno for Best Children's Album last night, but last year he was like "well fuckin' RAFFI dropped an album so I knew I wasn't winning"
Thing about "Entrance of the Gladiators" is, as a piece of music, it absolutely does work for a bombastic scene of impending ass-kicking. We associate it with clowns in our minds, but it's not innately clownish. The association is too strong for us to repurpose the tune anytime soon, but someday!
Reading comics is a form of reading. Comics are Real Books.
“Intelligence” & “IQ” and related testing & concepts are grounded in eugenicist thinking & rarely measuring anything like what they claim to be measuring.
SAT/ACT & Stanford-Binet and the rest.
*not universally agree upon but they should.
Elvis didn't rip off Black people.
Children are human beings with their own hearts and minds, and we desperately need to treat their rights and freedoms as a serious issue worth fighting for. It's unacceptable that children are the one demographic that can have essentially anything done to them with very little real recourse.
Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years
Since JKR is attacking Imane Khelif again, it’s worth noting that although transphobes insist that being a man or a woman is obvious & “common sense” & “can’t be changed”, they do believe someone born & raised as a girl *can* actually be a man. They just think *they* should be the ones to decide.
and it doesn't compute because they always see white men as the core of americanness, and white men always vote R.
they advocate for more racism to appeal to racists because they are racist. it's a perfect circle.
the thing is, I think they're absolutely so far up their own asses they can't process the fact that Ds are winning. it's always, always, Ds need to run to the center to win, even when Rs are getting crushed. it just doesn't compute. 1
Sorry but it’s weird to me that so much rhetoric from pundits and even actual Dem politicians concedes that even if the citizenship of all Americans technically formally equal, it is not morally equal. “Coastal women are lesser Americans than southern/midwest men” No they’re not. That’s not true.
Randy Quaid’s was also pretty weird. (Is also pretty weird.)
The second guy said, in an incredibly gentle and kind voice, "I'm gay and I lived through a lot. I lived through the AIDS crisis. I don't have any wealth to redistribute. But I'm here because I know it matters."
I think I stood next to a bodhisattva today.
Some older white guy watching the protest today said to another older white guy, "This doesn't matter. It doesn't change anything. Only the stock market crashing will change anything and redistribute wealth. "
For five million simoleons? Any song is fine. Like, “Black Cat” is my favourite, but it’s not the quality of the song that’s the important part here.
does it matter if you personally don’t support support bathroom bans if the people passing them get to look at the public and say “look at the opinions on trans people in sports, it’s sensible to propose life in prison for using the wrong bathroom in this state”
This is a black trans woman trying to leave the USA for Canada! If you have any leads on support networks that could help, contact her.
I know people have strong opinions of these protests but idk come on
Look her
She fucking rules tbh
"If you live in a society that wishes you didn't exist, anything you do to make yourself happy disrupts its attempts to wipe you out, or at the very least, make you invisible."

Wasn’t Hammett there ahead of him, though, and more famous on top of it?
It's pretty fucked up that we ended up with "you must pay thousands of dollars to a corporation to have freedom of movement" in most places.
Maybe he was drawing on the linen? With, like, the bloody end of a severed finger that he noticed in Kennedy’s lapel pocket?
Fell asleep in a Wang Chung t- shirt and woke up, stopped dreaming.
The sun is in the sky again. There's a hole in the ocean. And water's pouring through.
just to be clear: Imane Khelif is *biologically* a woman. she's not a trans woman, the entire intellectual edifice of terfism is a completely capricious attempt to define anyone they don't like out of being a woman
🎯🎯🎯
Their counterargument has always been, and never been more complex than, "Shut up, ugly."

I really like their “Another Way Out”.
We are being run by giant eight year olds with magnifying glasses who see the world as an anthill
the relevance remains—if went to a no kings event and didn’t wear a mask, PLEASE take multiple rapid tests or get a PCR/NAAT some time this week. there are plenty of things spreading in the air thanks to our collapsing heath systems, including sars-cov-2:
