i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.
then they started fighting Covid precautions.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.
now my parents think climate change is a myth.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.
then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.
now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.
you can guess who they voted for.
i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.
when did they forget?
was scrolling through a fight in the comments of a really not controversial at all post (but it was about trans people. so y’know). and the comments were as always being derailed by what-fucking-ever and someone was fighting over something, and one of them pulls out the “oh? well then explain to me why [some form of prejudice i don’t remember] is bad!” and the other person did
AND THEN
PERSON NUMBER ONE WAS JUST LIKE “oh okay, i can see how that’s bad actually, thank you for explaining”
AND PERSON NUMBER TWO WAS LIKE “thank you for open to new information! it can be really scary to confront prejudices, thanks for listening!”
tumblr dot com really is the finest hellsite the internet has to offer i have never seen someone learn from their mistakes on tiktok or be open to listening to others on twitter

there are the insane quick changes of which we have: joey richter himself playing what i can only assume to be the entire population of independence (plus an ox) in one song:
and then, of course, the master himself, brosenthal, playing frankly 80% of the cast, but ESPECIALLY in this one scene. ONE SCENE:
“oh but joey left the scene for some of the quick changes in tto, he can’t do that if the spankoffski bros are supposed are supposed to have a conversation” FINE, the other option: just play two characters at once. which starkid has done before.
exhibit one, twisted. these two are not the same:
exhibit two, tgwdlm, a hatchetfield show. this already happened in a hatchefield show:
(also, it is two different characters, do not fight me on this. this scene is too confrontation from jekyll & hyde-coded to be the same character) SPEAKING off confrontation:
joey did already. play two different characters at once. i’m not here to argue the semantics or implications about personhood of saying confrontation and let it go has two different characters each, i’m just saying, acting-wise, there’s two distinctive characters in both songs. like. guys. absolutely joey could just simply play both of them simultaneously. they literally do this all the time. what’s your excuse now
i made a character uquiz. i 100% promise you that you will get a character you know AND like
