#I've watched one of his videos

That James Somerton guy making videos about LGBT history, people and media based on vibes as facts ( and plagiarism but this post isn't about that ) is literally how social media treats LGBT history and has been for the last decade +. There's certain things that are objectively not fucking true but people have meltdowns whenever anyone points it out and then the baseless accusations fly. There's so much LGBT and feminist history + ideas online that's so far from the truth because people have been stretching the truth or embellishing for years unchallenged because someone feels validated and it feels true. Intellectual dishonesty is fine if it makes you feel good

The more people treat information and ideas like entertainment and validation, the easier it is for people like James Somerton to pop up over and over again because that environment makes it very difficult for criticisms to stick so they get to grow to a point it protects them and gives them more credibility which attracts more unsuspecting people that have no real reason to think they're consuming misinformation and stolen work.

please consider how you engage with aaron bushnell's death. you may react to it as you will, but it's crucial to remember that his death was specifically a call to action. it was not meant solely to shock but to draw attention to a vast moral hypocrisy: that to many, a soldier dying in a campaign backed by the U.S. government is noble, even if the soldier kills innocents to do so, even if the cause is morally bankrupt--but this? this is insanity. a man taking his own life, on his own terms, in an attempt to help others while hurting nobody else, is somehow less rational and more horrifying than the mass killing of civilians.

of course aaron's death was horrific. but as he said beforehand, it is realistically no more horrific than what's happening in gaza. if we can't stomach this, then why can we stomach children being bombed? thousands being starved? for all that self immolation is, it brings death in a matter of minutes. it is a fraction of the amount of pain, fear, and grief that people in gaza are experiencing. it's just that we are able to quantify it. and this tiny, quantifiable sliver of horror is still so unbelievably awful. how can anyone bear to think about anything else when this horror is happening a millionfold in palestine? this is the question aaron bushnell was asking. and he wanted you to face it, head-on, watching him burn to death.

I've been seeing people make fanart. minimalist graphics to sell on t-shirts. to commodify his death, to mythologize it not a day afterwards, is not only in poor taste but a hindrance to his message. the answer is not commodification, nor is it defeatism, nor is it rejoicing in his death. if you want to honor aaron's legacy, take action. channel your horror and your outrage into making a material change. this wasn't about him. this was about palestine. remember that it was always about palestine.

"From what I gathered, there were no responses, and it was strongly alluded from Q that you wouldn’t be allowed to play on both servers if you were a part of the QSMP. Which totally makes sense for Quackity, as there’s not that many creators on the QSMP and it takes a lot of time to make all the mods and updates for content and you want it to be as active as possible." What is he actually talking about right now??? Someone has either lied to him or he is 100% making this up. I could eat my words later but Phil and Wilbur were already on another SMP! Anyone remember Origins??? Yeah Phil slowed down the origin stream for the time being cause of the egg arc but the implication was he'd put effort in again when others did (looking at you tommy this is your server xDD ) So what the fuck is Dream trying to say here? ALSO the "personally have experienced an elevated level of in real life threats & stalkers & even had the police involved in somebody showing up at my house, & even putting trackers on my family vehicles, surrounding this drama, for the first time since pre-face reveal" What were the people wearing fucking Quackity merch or something??? Dream you've had a massive history of people trying to doxx and find you, how the fuck could you possibly know it was specifically to do with the QSMP/USMP situation?? What good has making this novel accomplished rather than going about creating the USMP and bringing those communities together in your own way was going to accomplish??

i think it's fitting that guanyu has named fernando and oscar his closest friends among those on the grid both on track and off-track.. considering how oscar has never said anything about having someone he considers his penultimate childhood hero for racing (oscar has named admiration for a few drivers but never used the word 'hero' for anyone ever while most people in his age group growing up were either team schumi, team alonso or even team valentino rossi lol).. meanwhile guanyu was out there saying he's had the fun of spending time with both of them off-track a lot when they were in renault long before the alpine contract fiasco. idk.. something something to balance guanyu out i guess in the face of his hero worship for fernando, which is nice.

I really liked Ramon's idea of filling a tag with cute little things for Fit's birthday, and I was like "Hey, I got a bit of time to spare today, I can whip something up real quick. Surely I don't have THAT many clips of Fit!"

Well...
