@WolfVanHalen This kind of toxic fan entitlement is the reason Julian Lennon went into photography and no longer plays music, which is a HUGE loss. If we lose the music of @MammothWVH for the same reason, those obnoxious jerks deserve TWO helpings of your "entire ass"!

Wait, so the #BritishMonarchy :
the whitest most elite of white elites; an institution founded on the idea that their God chosen bloodline is above lowly "commoners"; conquerors, colonizers and plunderers of lands brown & black might actually be <GASP!> RACIST?😮 #meganandharry

The #USA is the selfish, entitled, obnoxious Veruca Salt of the whole damn world.

@HeatherErin Like any other introvert, I thought I could just cont. working from home as usual. But, then I realized there isn't usually threat of deadly disease or collapsing economy and democracy looming and scaring me to death. My loss of faith in America(ns) has traumatized me the most.

Fun #socialexperiment :

1) Treat people EXACTLY the way they treat you
2) If it's cool, it's cool
3) If it pisses them off, explain to them what you're doing
4) Watch them get even MORE pissed off and enjoy the irony

Not sure how this slipped under my radar 3 years ago, but maybe it's just taken that long for the #YouTube algorithm to understand me. Still way better than most people's algorithms though, so...

We owe an everlasting debt to all that have fought and continue to fight for #CivilRights, who demand respect for the dignity and worth of every human being, and advocate in the struggle for #EqualJusticeUnderTheLaw in America.

My response to someone re: this great article on #WhitePrivilege.
If you're not a #POC, you have it. It's not a choice, it's not an opinion, and it's there whether you accept it or not. Use it for good, not evil.
