I don't like Hasan but at least he gets this right:
"We must never succumb to nihilism."
Meanwhile, I'll see his followers doom-posting, thinking things will never get better.
Some men will pretend to be progressive and feminist while only highlighting women in music and film. And then they'll still use fatphobic language like "a cheeseburger away from." Just another type of a fake performative male...
Melat Kiros defends Hasan Piker and calls out Democrats who have condemned him
"Billionaires are draining our resources to develop a technology they want to replace us, millions will lose Medicaid in the new year to pay for tax cuts for the rich, and we’re spending billions on genocidal wars the voters oppose. But sure, let’s keep talking about Hasan Piker."
Rep. Ro Khanna defends Hasan Piker and calls out Democrats who have condemned him
"Too many demotivated Democrats stayed home in 2016 and 2024. We can’t repeat past mistakes. Stop wasting time attacking Hasan Piker instead of Trump’s robber baron corruption. Don't put Israel hawks out of touch with our voters in charge of our Middle East policy.
It is time for a reckoning: are we a party that represents corporate interests and super PACs, or will we represent the American people?"

The problem is you will never gain momentum in your beliefs because you don't actually care if you just make snarky comments. You're choosing to feel different and special rather than actually make a difference.
But I know that's hard when it's more convenient to abandon somebody by pretending to be morally righteous, intellectually superior, & emotionally mature. I know it's easier to make someone else feel bad about themselves when they're struggling & that's inconvenient for your ego.
Like consider doing something good rather than just posting. Donate. Volunteer. Help out people you know are struggling. Fulfill something other than your ego.
internet activism in a nutshell
nice person: spends time with children in hospitals, goes to feminist protests, donates to LGBTQ+ charities, stands up against racial injustice
internet person: "ok but what's ur stance on Palestine?"
you guys are so fake and dgaf fr.
RE: Dolly Parton not speaking out about Gaza.
She did what she could. When hundreds of refugee children showed up in London, her Imagination Library sent them books. Words are meaningless. Actions matter. Now keep Dolly's name out of your fucking mouths.
your care, love & sensitivity for others should never embarrass you. it is a gift to feel deeply & love hard. consideration is a high show of respect for someone else. don’t be embarrassed that you’re not like them
@shawtyastrology I have...
- Sun/Mercury/Chiron in Virgo 11H
- Uranus/Neptune in Capricorn 3H
- Lilith in Aries 6H
- Venus in Leo 10H
Resting is one of the things I struggle with the most. Currently using PTO for the first time since starting this job 6 months ago because I got sick.
In honor of Dolly Parton passing, here's a piece of street art I saw about 5 years ago back when I used to live in NYC close to Hell's Kitchen. I used to go on walks to avoid my ex-husband & his brother & this was something I came across on one of those walks.
u soulless internet ghouls have the nerve to downplay dolly parton's years of advocacy and philanthropy when ur idea of activism is limited to making snarky tweets. she did more for humanity than u could in 100 lifetimes
The reason people like Dolly Parton will always be the more important and influential people in activism than the people who do nothing but act morally superior on social media is because Dolly’s activism was built on love. The moral superiority circle jerk is built on hate
My mom also dealt with really bad endometriosis for several decades and had a hysterectomy and even that didn't fix it. She even still dealt with spotting after it was removed. And of course dealing with abusive parents meant her pain wasn't taken seriously growing up.
She once collapsed on stage due to the pain and had to have a partial hysterectomy in her early 30s because of the condition. Marilyn Monroe also had severe endometriosis and it was one of the things that contributed to making her life hell. Cyndi Lauper, Whoopi Goldberg too. It’s not new. I hope we find a cure in my lifetime.

Some people are incapable of being friends unless they get something out of it. If they're not getting sex then they would rather see you struggle. And that betrayal feels awful when you thought they were a good person.
The worst part is in the moment it can feel like both. You can think it might be going somewhere but it's undefined. You can think you're friends. Then it turns out it's not going anywhere & they didn't care about being friends unless friendship to them is transactional.
tbh i always thought these were two different things. to me fwb is a clearly defined sexual dynamic between two friends where you both know you don’t want to be in a relationship with each other, while a situationship is a dynamic between two people who fuck when it’s convenient for both of them but haven’t defined what their relationship is, one could have stronger feelings while the other doesn’t, & they never really communicate their feelings, they just keep fucking and hope for the best 🤷🏽♀️
