@ChadBoston_ Its worth pointing out this is less about actual shifts in public attitude and more about monopolisation and a hostile fascist state punishing dissident corporations.
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again: They can’t get him for being a bad performer, a bad dancer, a bad singer, or a bad person, so they go for “oh he’s only good for being shirtless”
The term Parasocial relationship gets thrown and loses its meaning a lot on kpoptwt
But this… This is a textbook example of it. It hurts you to the point of you prioritizing your fantasy idol over your own rent
Went to my library where we have in-person voting and where the mail dropbox is. I was the only person below 50 there 💔 and the dropbox sounded close to empty
CA, GO VOTE NOW
'Andor' creator Tony Gilroy's Peabody Awards Acceptance Speech:
“We spent six years contemplating a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about what happens to ordinary beings when an authoritarian, insane, unchecked regime comes into the deal, and the show is really kind of what we learned"
“If you’re not willing to fight for the things that you love, your family, community, your culture, your planet, your truth, freedom, there’s an asshole ready to come in and take it away. We learned that bravery and sacrifice and resistance comes in all shapes and sizes, and we learned that courage is contagious"
“There’s so much is happening, it’s a fire hose of crap that you just can’t get through. And here we are. There isn’t a new cycle that goes by right now that doesn’t contain a variety of outrages that in any other time in our history in America wouldn’t be grounds for treason"
“Please do not stop. Please do not turn out the lights until we can kill this nightmare… and fuck the Empire!”
(via @Variety)
“How did we go from paper straws to data centres?”
Because no one listened to the environmentalists who said unchecked corporate pollution was the bigger issue.
just a hunch but I think nationalist insecurity stems from actual, lived, material conditions surrounding insecurity-
when our food is criticized, it runs deep because many of us can't even afford to eat everyday- not just in a monetary way either-
im simply reflecting out loud, especially given the recent discourse (while I dont agree with the way its turned out to be)... and I realize that even as someone living in Baguio, buying a jar of ube is a luxury (the cheapest you can get it is 350)... and that says a lot
bohol particularly has superstitions and traditions tied to ubi. ubi often described as "sacred" crop that if you drop it, you must kiss it as an apology and say "purya gaba" (tl: begone bad karma) kinampay is so culturally imporant that its even in the provincial hymn
Filipinos often market typical Fiesta Foods to visitors as those were considered luxury meals. What you see in a non-native pov is just the surface level of our culture.
Filipino dishes vary per province so you have no right to say sht you don't know.
