even if billie joe was straight (he’s not) teenagers getting offended he used the word faggot in american idiot 16 years after the fact would still be some of the goofiest discourse i have yet to see on this website. if you were young and gay in 2004 that shit rocked your world bc we were living through one of the most powerful resurgences of blind american patriotism and anti-gay evangelical bullshit of the last three decades. i dont think most of yall understand how radical that song, that album, and green day’s overall anti-bush pro-gay stance was for the time. even though we were at the cusp of bush becoming unpopular by the time it was released, american idiot saw a fairly mainstream rock band condemning not just him, but the bigoted, ignorant american culture which created him. to remove all of this context from the song and act like green day was just throwing around homophobic slurs for the hell of it is exactly why people joke nobody has reading comprehension on this website lmao. he’s not weaponizing the term; he’s using it to identify with an alternative american society.

In my mind all of the evermore and folklore album ladies are a part of the same universe, so I put them in a playlist together 💛💛 taylor.lnk.to/ladieslunching

Instead of telling people to monetize their hobbies, I'm gonna start telling people to hobbitize their professions:

Man, you are such a good contractor negotiator. You would kill it at boardgames.

Oh wow, your art is so beautiful! You should totally leave it in an unmarked box in the woods!

Dude with those excel skills you could set up a kick-ass pan-franchise multi-generational interconnected fanfiction webcomic

Science communication you say? Have you considered maybe running shitpost blog with that?

Phenomenal closing arguments! You gotta get into DMing!

That is a great flowchart. You've thought of everything. Let me tell you about Werewolf.

Theory Time

The reason endermen don’t like it when you look at them is because they communicate telepathically with one another by locking eyes! Humans are absolutely not designed to do this so when we look at them we are accidentally projecting all of our thoughts into them at the same time and it hurts :(

Amidst discussion about wealth inequality and race issues, I really wanna hammer into younger Gen Zers minds about how awful Ronald Reagan was I feel like we all got propaganda’d in school on how great he was just because of basic charisma and for the fact that he made some dopey speech at the berlin wall, but looking back he was just pure fucking evil: He caused so many problems that we’re all dealing with today- and problems that made Zoomers become “Doomers”:

He made explicit pleas to segregationists and klansmen when talking about states rights, endangering the lives of POC in the process

he KILLED unions, working class people lost bargaining power against the rich and lost livable wages, starting the end of the middle class, we never recovered

His trickle down economics killed any chance of real progressive tax on the rich & ensured that trillions would go to the rich for *generations*

He demonized the shit out of black people, he literally never saw them as human, especially those that were homeless and struggling with addictions (a problem he made much, much worse)

He *knew* about the AIDS crisis and for the longest time, did *nothing*, he sat by and intentionally let so many black and queer people die horrible deaths, with no remorse. The community is still grappling with the effect of that to this very day

All of us are angry about how Rich people are putting down poor people during this Gamestop-Robinhood fiasco, it’s good to remember when that started to get real popular…when people say “Ronald Reagan was the devil”, they’re not fucking around.

you know what? i’ve said this before. but fuck amatonormativity. 

you don’t have to be in monogamous, sexual/romantic relationship. your relationships are your relationships. your lack of relationships is your lack of relationships. it shouldn’t matter whether you’re married or not. 

do whatever the fuck makes you happy, okay?
