Friendly reminder that anti-intellectualism is an authoritarian tactic that is used to control a population by robbing people of the tools to understand and solve problems, foster innovation and build up communities. Education gives people power to improve their conditions.
Even if bird flu H5N1 never goes human to human, the amount of animals dying will affect us. The environment we live in is a delicate balance and we are screwing it up in a myriad of ways. it will collapse. Besides, who wants to live in a world devoid of animals?
Lukewarm take: y’all should be a lot more mad at public health than you currently are

@SDC_bigtime it's cause they were apart of the 2016 cringe emo era HAHA, they've carried that mantle ever since. but their music genuinely transcends genre. it's its own league. the story it tells is so intricate, and their live shows are unmatched. those 2 pour everything into their music
@SDC_bigtime people connected bkurryface’s success to their time being cringe in middle school and so the band (despite both tyler and josh being easily some of the most insanely raw talented artists out there) being completely overlooked for their art
