in light of Argentina's current government's demeaning, unpatriotic stance on public services and national sovereignty, and the speeches our cringe-ass smurf of a president likely repeats abroad, I just want to say this:

I believe education is a right. I believe healthcare is a right. I believe that thinking they're anything but a right is a moral failing. I believe the purpose of government and of taxes is to ensure those rights are guaranteed for everyone. I'm proud that public education and public healthcare are constitutional rights in my country. I'm happy to pay for those services with my taxes so that they might be available to anyone who needs them, including the less than 5% of immigrants who come here to make use of those services. I believe state-funded science is essential to national sovereignty, and that includes the social sciences. I'm proud of our public school teachers, I'm proud of our public healthcare workers, and I'm proud of our scientists. I'm proud of living in a country where you don't need to get into debt in order to access higher education and healthcare, because they are rights.

every piece of star wars canon that involves han solo really just further confirms that despite his very extreme attempts to cultivate the image of himself as a cutthroat, selfish, money-hungry loner who looks out for himself and his wallet alone he actually imprints like a baby duckling on anyone he spends more than five minutes in the presence of and would sacrifice anything for his friends and i have to say i love it and he is the most character for this. truly ahead of his time.

#EXACTLY!!!!! 😭 #han solo #sw

You know, it's rather interesting to me that Taylor Swift's parasocial relationship with her fans is honestly more akin to a YouTuber than a writer's. When I scroll through her tag on tumblr/Twitter, it's far more regarding the connection to her personal life/relationship developments than the actual metaphors/fictional story she might be telling. Everything comes back to how her songs reflect back on her relationships with Joe/Matty/Travis/Jake/insert ex-boyfriend here. And what fascinates me about it is that even though she complains about it, she leans into that very perception because it strengthens the parasocial bond.

The marketing for TTPD so clearly being about Joe Alwyn and the songs to Matty Healy. The marketing/video for Red TV so CLEARLY being about Jake Gyllenhaal, with so many of the new lines in All Too Well specifically being digs at him (I'll get older but your lovers stay my age, casting an actor that looks like him for the video, specific lines in I Bet You Think About Me). The fact that songs like Getaway Car and Bejeweled and Gorgeous and London Boy and Lavender Haze being picked apart at time of release and long after for signs of relationships crumbling. The way she uses surprise songs in relation to her relationship development with Joe/Matty/Travis. The damn TTPD "stages of grief" playlists where she deliberately undid/changed the meanings of old songs just to keep her audience speculating on her love life.

It's not sexist to point out that her wielding her love life is a marketing tool and that the strongest connection to her audience isn't the strength of her writing/the composition of her music- it's her deliberate crafting of a connection between her music and her personal life, leaving the audience invested in her music as an extension of Taylor the Person/Girlfriend rather than Taylor the Artist.

#*clinks spoon* #this is exactly what i've been thinking the past few days #re: why she's such a success even though her music is no different from other female singers #it's not unique musical talent babes; it's the human condition of loving gossip and drama #which she willingly uses for as long as it's convenient to her. then makes songs complaining about it. #plus being a good little capitalist and a dollop of weaponized white feminism #('oh why are you thinking about her if you hate her??' BECAUSE SHE'S A CURRENT CULTURAL PHENOMENON AND YOU'RE MAKING ME. I'D LOVE NOT TO.) #anti ts

I've now spent multiple figures in healthcare for my cat that I adopted last year in just two months, and as I went over this amount of money earlier I had a feeling of... horrified, disconnected wonder of the adulthood I find myself in, if you will, like. you're telling me I've spent that amount of money? you're telling me I've made enough money to be able to spend it like that and not go immediately broke? you're telling me that amount of money is mine to spend?

anyway. I cannot stress enough the importance of considering before you adopt any pet that it could have special needs or health issues that will be expensive to treat and you'll have to be able to afford, and not go back on your decision to look after that creature like an asshole.

I love you beautiful cryptic songs that make no sense for the most part. I love you songs that let you hold onto a single verse and attach any meaning you want to it. I love you songs that don't need to spell everything out in order to move you.

I draw in a big sketchbook, but people always seem surprised at the scale of my drawings. Anyway here's a photograph of the real, frankensteined-together piece. When you're a traditional artist you don't have photoshop layers, so you have to make do with cut-out paper layers, haha

Pen for scale. Probably my biggest pen-and-ink only piece.
