For Those Of You Who Haven’t Been Keeping Up.

To avoid deer strikes, Finland is painting deer antlers with reflective paint.

On fwhips stream a few days ago sausage said that Eddie had a bad leg, and it was “war injuries”

Now I know he may have just been playing around

But it’s real to me now

Time to write horrible angst about Sausage reuniting with Eddie and seeing his injury and blaming himself

I’m so glad I have such an empty blog (is that the term??????) cause I love screaming into the void and having No One respond

Empires observations

Sausage’s latest video gave me thoughts:

My 1st theory is that Eddie is teaching sausage to make his own weapons is cause he knows he’s dying soon and wants to prepare Sausage.

My 2nd theory is that the tyrant king became a tyrant because of Pearls death. Pearl and him were good friends and when she died he became hateful of magic, because her own magic killed get. And Pearl is trying to communicate to Sausage to tell her story.

3rd theory ( not my own. But I agree with it) the tyrant king is evil sausage who escaped from the banished dimension.

okay people who have been fighting to unwhitewash the clones, now is your time to help māori!!

What’s happening

- 182.41 hectares of our ancestral land in Wairarapa has come up for sale.

- This whenua backs onto our maunga Tararua, our awa, Waiohine and is near our whānau urupā, Te Uru o Tāneroa.

- The tender price is between $1.2-1.5 million.

- Our whānau are trying to raise money to meet the tender price.

- Our iwi has not settled, so we have no collective financial base.

- Our whānau want to buy back our whenua and establish papakāinga and sustainable business to bring our people home to Wairarapa.

If the tender is unsuccessful they will keep all donations for the next bit of land that comes up

Givealittle

#LandBack Help us buy back our ancestral land in Wairarapa

#LandBack. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy it back and help recreate a hub for our Ngāti Kahukuraawhitia people.

(information has been copied from @/amscraig on twitter, who is a member of the iwi attempting to reclaim their land)

it is so disappointing that this is the only option to reclaim illegally stolen land for the iwi, but the government wont work towards settlement with many iwi so we have no other choice

if you have any money avaliable to donate please do, anything would be appreciated!

Celebrity Platforms

Today, someone I’ve respected for a long time made some tweets that were incredibly controversial for obvious reasons. To be clear, I have supported Twenty One Pilots for a long time. I was at their concerts with audiences of 500, and Their music saved my life. I have a tattoo of the song that saved me.

Tonight, however, Tyler tweeted some problematic content. For context, his fans have apparently been begging him to use his celebrity platform to speak out about important issues. Namely, the BLM movement. Instead of initially tweeting about BLM, he tweeted this.

I see where this could have been funny in another context. It’s very much a “read the room” situation, and Tyler did not. Two hours later, he begins a thread of tweets about mental health.

Mental health is important by all means. The way he went about this was a bit flawed. Some of his tweets made his followers believe he was in danger; and that they had caused him to be in danger. I wouldn’t go quite as far as to call this gaslighting, but he was on thin fucking ice.

Two hours after this, he finally tweets his stance on the BLM movement. His response is incredibly flippant. He stated that Black lives matter, but he wanted to take time to talk about what he felt was important. Then, he said, “but I guess there’s no room for that right now.”

He then finally apologized.

Let me be incredibly clear, there is always room for mental health awareness. Always. No one is upset with him for promoting this awareness. What people are upset about is the flippant way he went about promoting issues. The way he joked about using celebrity platforms to promote the BLM movement, after months of silence.

His “stans” are jumping to his defense. Saying he shouldn’t have to promote “political” issues. He’s not an activist, he’s a musician.

Some of the fandom has canceled him.

What needs to be done is to have celebrities held accountable. We don’t need to cancel. We need to educate. Human rights issues are NOT political. You don’t have to be an activist to speak up about human rights; and it doesn’t make you an activist to do so. It makes you a human being.

Celebrities, specifically straight, white, cis, men; have an obligation to use their platforms for good. This is not exclusive to celebrities; but people tend to listen to those who have a higher societal standing (appeal to unqualified authority and all that), and thus, will listen to their favorite celebrities. We all have this obligation with social media. Use your platform for good. Be better. Do better.

“she just died, try to have some respect, she was a human being” that sure is a lot of words to tell me you’re not indian or pakistani or bangladeshi or irish or welsh or scottish or jamaican or west indian or kenyan or south african or zimbabwean or working class or princess diana

i’m in my laboratory inventing new pronouns

Needless to say, I am HORRIFIED.

There is no shared white history. Europeans all hated each other from the first settlers up until the 1500s. No Italian has even fucking heard the word “Odin” until long after (”white”) christian missionaries nearly eradicated that religion. If  you and I are both white than our ancestors probably fucking hated each other. Hell, if you’re a white mutt like me, various roots of your own family tree fucking hated each other and considered each other foreign savage barbarians. The only thing that unifies the white race is skin color and privilege, and neither of those things fill me with any kind of pride.
