most epic outage i have ever seen all of toronto has zero connection. wow.

no network at all. we are suddenly completely off-line

i woke up at 3pm anyway so it hasn't really impacted me that much but there's still a lot of really good philosophical meat here, considering I didn't realize there was an outage until half an hour ago (at 5:30pm).

update: also - 911 doesn't work? idek if this will ever post - feeling like something really really bad is happening right now and i just don't know about it

Being Autistic is so fun because every now and then you experience the psychological equivalent of the Eides of March, when you remember every bad impression you've ever made, every miscommunication, every mistake, every bad thing you've done or thought, and how you freely shared those thoughts...

If this happened in passing I would let it go easily. But this is the internet. Nothing truly happens in passing on the internet. Everything you say leaves a canyon, or a scar, on the ground, an people can gather around that scar, and express displeasure, or discontent as they shuffle around it, and that's the only thing that they will remember you by...

New College zine revival: a spotlight on Burnouts Magazine

A group of students began handing out self-made booklets at Walls last semester. Each copy featured a complex, graphically-designed cover, artwork, poetry and various short, transgressive stories. The issues listed no cited authors, only pen names, but one word in large print stood proudly on every cover: Burnouts. Through the publication’s distribution, a form of communication on campus is being…

getting real fed up with my peers treating teenagers like shit. how did you forget so fucking quickly what it's like to be them. shame on you.

#this is about people my age getting into internet discourse with teenagers #and calling them stupid and overall belittling them and being a jerk to them #like. literally just block them if they are being a shithead #teenagers are shitheads sometimes #youre not going to change them #they need to grow up on their own #and an adult making fun of them isnt going to help #in fact it is going to hinder the process #if you want to try to help you need to be kind #if theyre not receptive to that and are still being an asshole then it is not worth it #and you need to go do something else with your time #you are a fucking adult

It's nice that I live in a world where I can send a funny picture to a friend instantly just cause I'm thinking about them, but it sucks that this also means that my boss can message me at anytime and expects me response immediately(or you know, at all)

“He Was One Of Those Who Are Not Born Handsome, But Develop Charming Features With Age By Continuously Engaging Their Brains With Intelligent Thoughts”—The Necessary Ability To Size Up The Situation In The Journey Of Any Superstar Like Hins Cheung (張敬軒)  

Writer Pawan Mishra pointed out a kind of special celebrities, “He was one of those who are not born handsome, but develop charming features with age by continuously engaging their brains with intelligent thoughts.” It was said that there are 2 kinds of talent: man-made talent and God-given talent. With God-given talent, you just touch it up once in a while. With man-made talent, you have to work very hard to react. Hong Kong’s top singer Hins Cheung(張敬軒) was underrated when he came to Hong Kong about 20 years ago. His slow process—two steps forward, one step back—gave his both talents a solid foundation that now supports his powerful stardom.

Performing stars are not trained by the traditional route of university. Taking part in concerts, playing in bands, working with other artists and creating noise on social media are the tough apprenticeship that a singer must go through. While they do all these, they need a great mentor who can smell the talent within them, than what they see in themselves, and give the opportunities to bring it out of them. Hins Cheung(張敬軒) is the natural born mentor in the entertainment industry who is actively helping other younger stars. All the young artists in Hong Kong regard him as their big brother and ‘social worker’. He is a natural leader who has truthful relationships with colleagues, fellow singers, co-workers and even fans. He offers sincere smiles. He enjoys working with other artists, visual or performing, young or old and pop or classical. He communicates amiably on social media with the adolescents. He shares his life experience and candid beliefs on equality issues. Hins is authentically himself, despite harsh criticisms against him, and never masquerades as someone else. In Hong Kong, Hins is the rare singer who is also a spiritual KOL who provides example, viewpoint and direction for the young singers and people in Hong Kong

Born in Guangzhou of China in 1981, Hins’ dream since his childhood had always been to put on music to liven things up. He gave up studying and became a pop singer. In 2002, he came to Hong Kong to look for the new road to success. Life under the new conditions was not easy. His pocket was once empty and he had to work as an assistant in a radio station. He was initially a gigantic loser but quitting was the last option for him. Finally, he overcame hardships and in less than 2 decades, he became a great opinion leader of benevolent value, that may be more amazing than his singing success.

Before, superstars tackle or endure life alone. In the internet age dominated by social media, they have to learn how to provide on a daily basis the attractive marriage of ideas and personal life, and such talking points must also be considered by fans to have a relation to their own lives. I remember watching an online video made by Hins himself telling the story of how a nosy neighbour intruded into his house to check out his private life. The drama embraces the funny experience that we collectively share. Singers can no longer relay messages through their managers. They have to stand out publicly and monitor the best ways of interacting through social media to engage their fans, enhance their career and ultimately build up their personal stardom.

His recent 26 concert shows in Hong Kong Coliseum came as a delightful surprise: as songs continued, Hins mingled cleverly with his band and audience around the stage. He uttered a lot of quotable quotes on the stage. He said, “The most unbearable thing for a kid is the accusation that he is not honest.” He also said wittily, “Fans should not put up banners and placards disturbing other audience. I have already got ready a big joss-paper burner for making them disappear!” “Think about it,” Hins said, “when we look back and learn, life usefully finds its own way out.” People laughed, screamed and sang because of the excitement over the charisma of this superstar. The stage design, without a hitch, was very fascinating. Creative props changed and tied into each song but were consistent with the overall theme.  

Hins Cheung and my great concert producer friend Alex Fung(馮貽柏) are the best team for making unforgettable concerts. Alex said, “In Hong Kong, due to budget constraints, we could not make the very expensive concerts. We do try to put art elements into a concert to make it respectful, tasteful and trendsetting!” Hins levelled with us, “If stage machines are not occasionally out of order, our concert will be unbeatable!”  Alex produces innovative concerts one after another.

The recent acts of pertinence of Hins are to make an unexpected backstage visit to a young rapper Tyson Yoshi and attend an ordinary school concert to give the students encouragement. For Hins, his good daily activities are surely more powerful than any front-page ad.

No audience nowadays will be impressed with how good a singer is if he cannot express his personality and use it to capture the audience.

There is a theory known as ‘situational leadership’. There are some successful leaders who are good at knowing how to apply quick ideas to lead according to the situation especially on handling topical issues. The stars who try to sing very hard without following the good engagement skills of Hins Cheung is building with one hand, but pulling down with the other. There is no free lunch on earth. There is however an inexpensive way, because of social media, to grab a sandwich by creating viral contents! Nothing is worse than passivity in the modern days.

So if you follow me (and aren't just stopping by because you saw one of my funney viralposts), you probably know that I've been writing a bunch of fanfiction for Stranger Things, which is set in rural Indiana in the early- to mid-eighties. I've been working on an AU where (among other things) Robin, a character confirmed queer in canon, gets integrated into a friend group made up of a number of main characters. And I got a comment that has been following me around in the back of my mind for a while. Amidst fairly usual talk about the show and the AU and what happens next, the commenter asked, apparently in genuine confusion, "why wouldn't Robin just come out to the rest of the group yet? They would be okay with it."

I did kind of assume, for a second or two, that this was a classic case of somebody confusing what the character knows with what the author/audience knows. But the more I think about it, the more I feel like it embodies a real generational shift in thinking that I hadn't even managed to fully comprehend until this comment threw it into sharp perspective.

Because, my knee-jerk reaction was to reply to the comment, "She hasn't come out to these people she's only sort-of known for less than a year because it's rural Indiana. In the nineteen-eighties." and let that speak for itself. Because for me and my peers, that would speak for itself. That would be an easy and obvious leap of logic. Because I grew up in a world where you assumed, until proven otherwise, that the general society and everyone around you was homophobic. That it was unsafe to be known to be queer, and to deliberately out yourself required intention and forethought and courage, because you would get negative reactions and you had to be prepared for the fallout. Not from everybody! There were always exceptions! But they were exceptions. And this wasn't something you consciously decided, it wasn't an individual choice, it wasn't an individual response to trauma, it wasn't individual. It was everybody. It was baked in, and you didn't question it because it was so inherently, demonstrably obvious. It was Just The Way The World Is. Everybody can safely be assumed to be homophobic until proven otherwise.

And what this comment really clarified for me, but I've seen in a million tiny clashing assumptions and disconnects and confusions I've run into with The Kids These Days, is that a lot of them have grown up into a world that is...the opposite. There are a lot of queer kids out there who are assuming, by default, that everybody is not homophobic, until proven otherwise. And by and large, the world is not punishing them harshly for making that assumption, the way it once would have.

The whole entire world I knew changed, somehow, very slowly and then all at once. And yes, it does make me feel like a complete space alien just arrived to Earth some days. But also, it makes me feel very hopeful. This is what we wanted for ourselves when we were young and raw and angrily shoving ourselves in everyone's faces to dare them to prove themselves the exception, and this is what I want for The Kids These Days.

(But also please, please, Kids These Days, do try to remember that it has only been this way since extremely recently, and no it is not crazy or pathetic or irrational or whatever to still want to protect yourself and be choosy about who you share important parts of yourself with.)

#also Kids These Days please if nobody's told you: you can't send cheques through email #and if somebody sends you one through email They Are A Scammer and Yes They Are Scamming You #that's not related I just am constantly tearing my hair out about how many people of ALL AGES don't know that #something something something invoking the fuck word in the hopes it will keep this poast from search #i love how the internet has created Magic Words Of Power #unfortunately most of those words perform the action of 'summon jackass idiots to comment on your post' #i am paraphrasing the comment that was left on my AU fic because I am too lazy to go looking for it right now but #it was very similar to that wording #this is just a thing that has been rattling around in my brain and it was finally smoothed out and polished enough to come out
