I'm so sad in such a strange way to hear about the Corporation for Public Broadcasting officially shutting down. It's a weird feeling. Most of it is the intellectual level of "oh this is SO fucking bad and terrifying that we'll no longer have federally supported public information channels anymore, it will ALL be through the private market, not to mention the stark reminder of the US government's continued descent into anti-intellectualism and fascism," all of which makes my stomach sink.

But on a smaller level it is the disappearance of something that was so ubiquitous to American childhood. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of Americans can hear the exact intonation of this phrase in their head: "This program made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and by viewers like you. Thank you."

There is a lot more that could be said about the likely repercussions of this. In addition to being sad, I am also exceedingly furious. I wish despair upon all the Republicans who helped kill the CBP just because it took its mission seriously and refused to broadcast overt right-wing propaganda as news.

I think more media should narratively punish parents for not listening to their kids and specifically I think it should punish them in cruel and terrifying ways. I want real life parents to go through life with a healthy fear that if they ignore their children's boundaries a witch might cook and eat them

may be a hot take but i think the fact minors can access 18+ content by just clicking a button that says 'yes im totally over 18 trust me' is like. totally fine tbh. its a non-issue. i dont care if curious teenagers are looking at porn. they've been doing that for as long as porn has existed. id rather teens explore their sexuality through images on the internet than rush into real life experiences when they're not ready for it yknow. the UK is trying to put stricter age verification in place (which in turn is becoming an online privacy nightmare) and like. for what. who is it helping. why is this a problem.

internet safety we were taught as kids: don't share ANY personal information with ANYONE EVER the british government: you don't want to give these random third parties your photo or driving licence showing your name, birthday, address and signature? are you perhaps a nonce?

au where padme lives and raises her two children thinking that anakin died on mustafar and works behind the scenes in the rebellion

and anakin/vader thinks that he killed padme

and they both think the other is dead and vader hates the shadowy leader of the rebellion and padme hates the emperor’s black-suited attack dog

i just have a lot of ideas about this idk

opinion 1 (might be the only one I share depending on the response)

I feel like Chappell Roan’s trans allyship is performative.

Whenever I hear her talk about trans people, it just feels off and uncomfortable, like she doesn’t mean it.

I’m not super invested in even just her music, but from my understanding, she was raised in a very conservative household. It is not uncommon for people raised that way to hold on to some of the right wing views, so they’ll be all for the stuff that benefits them but still have racist, transphobic, etc beliefs.

From what I heard, she didn’t speak on the US presidential election back when it was happening because she claimed she didn’t know enough about politics to publicly support either candidate. I am not one of the people who believes celebrities should be required to speak on political and world issues, especially when they don’t understand all the complexities. (I believe they should be allowed to because they’re people who can have opinions, but that’s a whole different rant.) It seems to me though that someone who REALLY cares about trans people could understand enough to realize that one of the options was infinitely worse.

idk, it just upsets me whenever I see all this stuff, from trans people especially, worshipping her just because she mentions us in an interview every now and then.
