I've created a new account for political stuff, and this arallara account is going to be for fandom/pop culture, maybe some personal stuff on both. If you followed me for anything other than fandom, I suggest you follow @metaphile.bsky.social! I may unfollow some folks here and refollow there.
I watched Jessi's new MV last night, and I know she's complicated but I also kind of love her. It's uhhhh very...tits forward?? I really love when people lean in to the things they get mocked and hated for and wear them like a badge of honor, so I can really appreciate the attitude.

Legal marriage should be abolished, marriage should only exist as a personal ceremony that the state has no role in
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

I am tired of scrolling through YouTube shorts and seeing beefy conspiratorial clowns declare cooked food and vaccines and the very presence of a foreign person to be anathema to their delusional vision of a perfect, homogenous, walled-off society.
We did not evolve to be ALPHA CHADS, actually.

We are going Super Social Justice Blue Hair and Pronouns. We are calling things "gay" and "queer" as compliments and honorifics. We are proudly being buzzkills and harpies and feminine and vegan and giving a sincere fucking shit about the environment and climate and well-being of the community.

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

One thing about going to an Ivy League is it rapidly disabuses you of the notion that the people at the top of the pyramid are there because of competence

So, assuming for the moment that all of this is intentional fanservice, I just have to wonder a lot about how they talk about it when the cameras are off. Like, did they plan this? Do they sit around the dorm at night and strategize their next moves to make us lose our minds??

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
