Y'all I love you so much and I see my inbox but I have zero energy left. I'm bout to drink this water, turn GNX back up and work on some of these pics for Thursdays update.

People will get away with anything if you let them. Do not subscribe to these people. Cancel your subs. Basegame recolors and non-functional items should not be paywalled but paywallers don't care. They block, they delete comments and they get a thousand reblogs from folks that don't know any better.

The only time I know when half of these people drop new sets is because they show up on other sites five seconds later. So basically, I only have enough reads in me for one person per year.

So for my new friends, hello and welcome. This is basically a Kendrick Lamar stan account with a little story sprinkled in here and there.

I’M DOING NOTHING TODAY IN OBSERVANCE

[hathsinners]

I don’t want to be that person, but I’m a veteran in that stuff. Been there in the tranches fighting for Richonne and I know the excuses, I know the discourses. Suddenly it’s “why can’t they be friends” “I’ve always seen them as aro/ace” “I just don’t see it” and when you dig deeper, the reason is always unconscious biases or plain racism. I’m not saying everyone has to like timebomb, I’m saying that the same excuses always arise when there is a popular interracial couple in a fandom and one of the character is black.

I'm also under the impression that TG is no different from TB in terms of expecting everything to go well for their faves, which let's be honest, it will not and has not, even for TB. Their characters are being butchered because the writers like them too much and on TG the characters will continue suffering because the writers hate them too much. I thought we all knew this. Dooming way too hard implies that there's an expectation for consideration when we all know that is only reserved for Rhaenic*nt.

Just enjoy the actors and their performance.

I just came on here to share something of note related to my job that I felt was somewhat relavent to fandom. I don't tend to like to reveal too much about my personal life on here especially as it relates to my job since I don't necessarily want anything irl connecting back to me on here so I'll keep this very, very general but I currently work for a nonprofit that centers around a very specific subfield within an acronym of the STEM umbrella. Most of what we do involves public outreach and education on that specific field through online articles, videos, magazines/journals, and events, etc. (as well as helping fund research, grants, and mentorships/job opportunities for people in the field, particularly of underrepresented groups).

Anyways I'm saying all this to say that today I saw we'd made arrangements to pay for media training for a few of our more higher up volunteers to help prep them for media interviews and to be good brand ambassadors for our org. The training includes things like reviewing talking points and going over sample interviews and interview tips and is expected to encompass at least a couple of hours per person. We dropped well over 10k on this expense. And this is all just for a few VOLUNTEERS for a relatively small nonprofit org in a very specific subfield/subject. Like I said we're a non-profit so we're obviously not just in this for the money or the good PR it may bring, even if we do still realize that those things are integral to our success as an org. And yet we still dedicated a sizable chunk of money and time to this endeavor for people who are not even technically employed by us. I just want y'all to let that sink in for a second and think about how much the scale of that extrapolates to ppl like celebrities doing what they do on the world stage.

Imagine how much more intense and in-depth something like media training gets when you/your image is literally the brand you're acting as ambassador for, and a shit ton of ppl behind the scenes all have their own stake in your success as a brand in the particular image/version of you (accurate or not) they want portrayed. now imagine you're a young impressionable child being made to sit through potential hours of mock interviews, being drilled with questions and "appropriate" talking points and the like until the ppl in charge of you are satisfied (tbh it's not hard to see how/why rebecca ferguson described it as akin to being brainwashed), and being foisted with all that responsibility/pressure in every single thing you do or say in front of a camera. Is it any wonder that you might eventually get to a point where you just paste on a smile and say/do whatever you're told to like a wind-up robot playing along with the role you've been given even to your own detriment (liam)? Or that you might get to a point where you just stop wanting to do almost any interviews at all cause you're sick of being party to all the fakery and bullshit (z@yn)? It's two sides of the same coin but both could very much be read as a trauma response

Anyway I just needed to rant a bit cause the stuff with work brought all this to the forefront of my mind and it forever infuriates me to no end that people still don't see (or don't want to see) how much of what we're shown and/or told is fabricated in the name of staying on brand for whatever version of their image a celebrity may be trying to sell in that moment

Popping back on tumblr tonight just to say that COVID cases are SURGING at my hospital and to beg the mutuals and followers to please wear a mask, get your shots, and stay healthy and safe.

[leavejenalone]

taking an even bigger step back from posting on social media and reducing scrolling/screen time.

and although I have been avoiding this for as long as I could, tumblr is also included in that.

I’ll be on here every blue moon and drop an update or two… but for now, Jen’s out.

Damn, as luck would have it, I have to trim my following list. Some of y'all just refuse to leave anti-Black bloggers alone and then keekee with me in the replies. That shit is weird. Oh well.
