Am i forgetting anyone?
I keep getting clowned for being so vocal about the tik tok ban because “I should get a real job” but lemme explain: I am signed and big enough to not need a new job. Will my income decrease in the immediate months following, yes most likely a huge one, but because of tik tok I got signed, got management, and dug myself out of debt to now even if I changed careers and worked minimum wage I would not wake up every day in debt. But here’s the thing: I started with none of that. Five years ago i was sleeping in a bunk bed sharing a room with three others when the pandemic started. I briefly moved home to stay with my mom and made videos with my phone propped on her trash. My mom worked for a school (so yes public school tax bracket not a nepo baby) and I was eating ramen and laid off my side hustle. Tik tok was a free app that allowed me to promote myself for free in an image that I had full control over. It’s an app that leveled the playing field for all artists. So with that going away and the main outlet being something like meta that loves bribe money etc I have no doubt that the playing field will no longer be level. So I will be fine but your fave local artist will take a massive hit from this. And they do not deserve this. So fuck our government as usual. But your local scene needs your support now more than ever.
Tiktok has been banned in the US on the grounds that China could use it "to manipulate and control Americans by spreading propaganda and misinformation." In other words, China *might do* exactly what Elon Musk *has done* with X.
It's a blatant double standard.
all branches of the US government uniting across the aisle to ban a social media app this quickly while ignoring school shootings for years, ignoring women’s health, healthcare, homelessness, etc etc should radicalize the fuck out of you btw 🤍
if i were haymitch and i was reaped on my 16th birthday and then the capitol killed my entire family and my lover and for every birthday after that i had to mentor other kids who would also just end up dead, i’d do worse things than become an alcoholic. fuck it get me the heroin
In his farewell address, Biden calls for:
An end to dark money
18 year term limit on Supreme Court Justices and ethics reform
A ban on stock trading in Congress
Amending the Constitution to say no president is immune from crimes committed in office
If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.
