I'm gonna say one more thing about the Irish gentleman and his public statement and then I'm gonna leave it be.

I've seen a lot of people who were upset at his statement, saying that it was too soft and that his previous statements were much better. People saying that they'd prefer that he not say anything if he was going to fence sit. He's Irish for fucks' sake, and someone who grew up during The Troubles (albeit the end of them). People saying that it was him bowing to pressure so that he remain in consideration for a Grammy that he's up for. Et cetera.

I don't know if I agree with some of those statements, but I do agree that it could have been more strongly worded. More clear on his condemnation of the attrocities being carried out against the people of Gaza.

Some people have noted that it was likely also a matter of safety, given what happened to the Hadid family over their support (they've received death threats), that he has the safety of his band and his crew to keep in mind. That he's on tour in a country that is actively supporting the attrocity and his statement was worded so as to not be on the receiving end of hostilities by the government. I can honestly buy that one. I don't know if it's genuinely something he said, or if I'm misremembering, but I believe he mentioned that he didn't join BLM protests because he was afraid that he'd get deported and barred entry to the US if he had.

I'll say, like I did before, that I'm disappointed. I had hoped that he would come out with a stronger statement. One that lives up to the politics that he uplifts in his music.

Look, at the end of the day, none of us know this man. We may be fans of his music and support a lot of the statements he makes, but we don't know him. We like to think we know where he stands on certain things, but unless he comes out and publicly states them, we know nothing. I want to believe his heart is in the right place. I want to believe that his statement was flat because it had to be. But, at the end of the day, we as a society need to stop placing celebrities on such pedestals and raising them up to be these paragons of virtue. They're human.

That's all.

OH - and I think it goes without saying, but I'm gonna say it anyway, I support a free Palestine. Today, tomorrow, and always.

#i'm gonna tag this proper but y'all better fucking behave #hozier #his statement left a lot to be desired honestly #but i think i get it #free palestine

laios is perhaps the only character not to get the "they mentioned their favorite food once and the fandom makes it their whole personality" treatment. his favorite food is cheesecake and absolutely nobody cares

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

#art #i had to block multiple people because of this post and i easily could have blocked more #do you guys have any idea how exhausting it is to hear 400 people make the exact same unfunny joke each thinking they're being original #or worry that another person might get harassed over a post i made because of the way people are talking about them #or be harassed/insulted YOURSELF because some people don't know how to fucking behave #you guys don't get reblogs back. you should be grateful i'm leaving the post up at all.

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

#self #last night i kept stimming thinking about this LOVE IS AO REAL. AUGH #i dont like damming but this is a step in the right direction AND it gets the public involved #i love that! more public interactions like this in ecology please! thats how you bring change! thats how you make ppl see the beauty in life #marine biology #ecology

my mum forbade me to say anything to my dad about the top surgery thing, and it's just hit me how funny it would be if i got it done and didn't tell him and just waited for him to notice. i mean, what's he gonna say? "didn't you used to have tits?"

#obviously she meant 'don't get it done and don't tell him you thought about it' but i am choosing to read it as #'gaslight him into thinking you've been titless all your life'#be shh now #containment breach
