Rise Up

You can be a million people before you die.

[Ivan 🇺🇦✊ Plis @ivanplis]

if you’re this mad about people receiving forgiveness without “earning” it, I have some terrible news about Jesus

[Rise Up @laurificus]

@angelgazing Well exactly. A puritanical part of fandom has been banging on about minors being harmed for a while and now someone is standing for the Board who thinks the ToR needs updating for sensitive content. Will someone please teach these children their fandom history?

[Rise Up @laurificus]

Wait. I am catching up. Are people seriously now trying to make AO3 family friendly? Setting aside all the many things that are bananas about this…these are the same people who are traumatised by tv shows, aren’t they?

[Rise Up @laurificus]

@DeeMacNY @Variety Right. In time anger at either overpaying or not being able to go will fade. But disappointment in him for allowing it won’t.

[Rise Up @laurificus]

I feel it was inevitable that the thing that would bring me back to twitter was Ticketmaster rage. It’s not the money but the principle! And you know. Totally also the money!

[Rise Up @laurificus]

@springsteen As others replying have pointed out, Crowded House took action to prevent @Ticketmaster exploiting fans with dynamic pricing. Do Springsteen fans deserve less?

[Rise Up @laurificus]

This. Surge pricing, which isn’t made clear at time of purchase, by @Ticketmaster can only be justified by greed at the expense of fans who have no other choice but to buy tickets through them. Particularly disappointing to have @springsteen endorsing this.

@springsteen @Ticketmaster
Edinburgh Murrayfield standing tickets for £441 each? You've got to be joking right? Logged on at 9am on the dot to be number 15000 in the queue. Really?? No tickets left unless I want to pay £400 to stand. No thanks. Broken hearted 💔

[The Church Of Satan @ChurchofSatan]

This is your regular reminder that religion has no place in politics.

[Rise Up @laurificus]

@FiercelyNormal I would…not deal well with that at all.

[Rise Up @laurificus]

So happy with that tennis result! So. Happy.

[Rise Up @laurificus]

I agree with every word of this thread. And I’d add that the groups around people with these reactions need to, as kindly as possible, stop normalising/validating it.

[@omfg.social.bsky on bluesky @ghoulcowboyy]

It's deeply concerning some ppl are relying on tv for mental health. I see unironic posts about having mental breakdowns because what happened in a TV show wasn't something you wanted or bc something bad happened to a character. this isnt quirky or cute, its severely unhealthy 🧵

[river buddy butcher 🤠 @rivbutcher]

I do my best not to subtweet, unlike SOME people I know

[Rise Up @laurificus]

Rare fandom tweet these days but…man.take Jensen out of J2, and possibly you’re left with kind of an asshole.

[Luke Bailey @imbadatlife]

Millennial: OK, I've done the 10-day isolation, PCR was negative two days ago, so were both of today's LFTs. I'll walk 14 miles back now for Xmas so I don't have to be exposed to anyone.

Boomer parent: You'll have to speak up, pub's very busy because of the face-licking contest

[Rise Up @laurificus]

@nottheribbons @DeeMacNY @meanbean74 @samuletisback Out of context thought you were talking about MC

[Go to Bluesky to save your brain -- L O L G O P @LOLGOP]

Whenever you think billionaires should be trusted to donate to charity rather than just taxed sensibly, remember that Elon Musk gave his kid a serial number rather than a name.

[Rise Up @laurificus]

@Sweedaly I’m so sorry. Sending you both lots of love and strength

[laura 𓆩♡𓆪 @samslostshoee]

the fact that the most traumatising arc for jensen was souless sam and just because sam and dean weren’t affectionate with each other for a while…unhinged

[Rise Up @laurificus]

@jaimewinchester Sending both of you all the good thoughts ❤️
