What Ed Sheeran did wrong tonight:
- Started with Oct 7th
- Called it a conflict
- Pretended that he didn't know enough
- Both Sides it
- Didn't apologise to Macklemore
- Didn't call it a genocide
- Didn't say FREE PALESTINE
- Used a teleprompter
- Didn't blame Israel
Israel is still starving Gaza.
Israel is still starving Gaza.
Israel is still starving Gaza.
Israel is still starving Gaza.
Israel is still starving Gaza.
Israel is still starving Gaza.
Israel is still starving Gaza.
Israel is still starving Gaza.
Israel is still starving Gaza.
- reads from teleprompter
- immediately starts with October 7th
- still won’t call it a genocide
- says he doesn’t know enough about what’s happening
- makes no apology to Macklemore or addresses dropping him from the tour
- doesn’t mention where his donation will be going to
- doesn’t encourage anyone to donate
- won’t say Israel is the reason Gaza is suffering
- won’t say free Palestine
- only cries when he sees people showed up to the concert because that’s what he cares more about.
Fuck him.
People assume depression means you’re sad and crying all the time. Real depression feels like being stuck in a fog. You can’t think, you don’t respond to things, nothing is interesting, and you just feel empty. Not sad, just blank.
Me aggressively begging the universe for one big win before the end of the year something that will cover all my losses and still leave me with enough to breathe.
Ms. Rachel announces she’s matching Macklemore’s $1 million donation in support of Palestine:
“I will match Macklemore's donation and I invite every wealthy white celebrity to match it and speak out against the genocide in Gaza.
Over 20,000 precious Palestinian children have been killed and children continue to be killed every day.
We have a moral obligation to use our privilege and platforms to protect children and human rights.”
