you know how i know this isn’t a war? i have extended family going to israel in like two weeks for a WEDDING because they can. Because they’ll be safe there.

If Israel really believed they were under threat by Gaza it would be reflected in travel policies and events. But no. Life as normal for those unaffected by their countries’ ethnic cleansing

thinking about that time a while ago when i was in line to see a kpop group that had several then-minors in it and i was talking with some people i met in line about how cool they were and i said something along the lines of like “yeah they’re all great, love them, but not like those weird ass fully grown adults that are a little too into the younger ones, you know? like [minor member] is really popular with like…30 year olds who view him in an oddly sexual light and that gives me such an ick” which is like a fair statement bc like…imo it’s weirdo behavior for adults to be overly invested in what a minor does or says. “just waiting for him to turn 18!” ass vibes. i then mention that im around the members ages and i ask how old the other two are. one was 18 but ended up being a weirdo for delulu wanted-to-actually-date-the-members reasons, but tell me why the homegirl who had just told me that [minor member] was her bias is like “oh. i’m 28”

💀💀💀💀 we did not keep the conversation going for much longer

there was another lady in line who was like 35 at the time at LEAST and had been to all of their stops on that tour (front row tix every time) and was also like [minor member 2] biased. like BRO

#i didnt mean to @ her like that LMFAO #and i’m sure she was lovely or whatever but DAMN #kpop #it’s fine to like music that young people make as an adult! #but kpop thrives on weird para social relationships to begin with #and para social relationships only become weirder with age gaps! #not to throw around the word pedophile but i’ve seen full grown adults say some truly whack ass shit about literal children #so it’s easier not to trust any adults at all when it comes to groups with minors in it #never forget the bs that happened to taemin and boa and niki and jungkook and jisung and suzy

was talking with my brother about body autonomy and trans healthcare and he made the great point of (paraphrasing here) "if it's not personally affecting someone why should they care?" and i was like "yeah? yeah! why do people give a fuck about what other people do with their bodies?" and so:

i made a flowchart

because whether it be about abortion or trans healthcare or hell even doing weed or drinking alcohol, people should be allowed to make decisions for themselves, even if you deem that behavior harmful, immoral, or idiotic. if you don't like it, fucking ignore it! i ignore stupid people all the time when they say and do stupid things! because i'm not in the business of controlling the non-hurtful behaviors of people who aren't myself!

#idiots dni #trans healthcare #i'm aware there's some nuance here but this is the idea simplified for your viewing pleasure

kpop decided to stop ripping off of black american music for a hot minute and went full in on ripping off of black african music

#of course they remain ripping off black americans but the recent afrobeat additions are there! #kpop #THIS IS A JOKE TAKE IT AS ONE #THIS IS IN GOOD FUN MUSIC IS UNIVERSAL BUT IT SHOULD BE ACKNOWLEDGED WHERE IT COMES FROM #ANYBODY CAN DO A GENRE YOU JUST GOTTA ADMIT WHO INVENTED IT #tinnitus #txt #easy #le sserafim #run aweh LFMAOOOOOO #kohway #faking an accent is WHACK homie

irritating that both the percy jackson movies and the tv show take things that annabeth did (showcasing her personality and her dimensionality and whatnot) and giving it to percy or grover

like why write a female character if you’re going to butcher her in the adaptation

like they did the same bull shit to katara in the avatar movie and the live action show

#stopbutcheringfemalecharacters

#percy jackson #annabeth chase #katara #avatar the last airbender #in the originals they’re awesome characters to look up to #and in adaptations they fail the sexy lamp test or whatever it’s called #but why are annabeth's ideas now percy's? #why does sokka have katara's anger?

Just checking to see if they've invented a job that you can have if you failed out of college where you get to sit down but you aren't filled with the dread certainty that ur greasing a machine that makes the world more hostile & less habitable... *touches my headset* They haven't? Ah Well Thankfully the sun is shining

instead of posting five versions of the same dance practice kpop groups should start posting dance practices for concert only choreos/choreos that they don’t usually post. SO many bsides with choreos that also that i CANT FUCKING WATCH WITHOUT LOOKING AT IPHONE CONCERT VIDEOS THAT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE FILMED IN 2002

#kpop #concerts #i just want more dancing #it’s why i like kpop in the first place #so there’s no reason not to? like that’s free content right there #like they’re ALREADY practicing them

xikers break a leg and enhypen attention please scratch the same itch in my brain

#xikers #break a leg #enhypen #attention please #kpop

while all of xiker’s albums are no-skips for me, their best album is still doorbell ringing, and i maintain that’s it’s because of junghoon. the other albums are just missing smth and i’m certain that it is junghoon

recently discovered that my mom (who puts full names in contacts) has had my middle name misspelled in said contacts for at least 8 years since i've gotten my number. possibly longer.

8 years. my own mother

#idk what to tag this #i mean there are two popular spellings of my middle name so it makes sense #and it's a namesake name from my dad's side of the family #but like #she named me? #EIGHT YEARS

They got me not gonna lie.

I did a marathon yesterday and watched all 8 ep of Avatar.

I think it was fun, the original is obviously 8926583756 times better but it wasn't as bad as some people say it was.

It's just as I expected: some weird CGI, a little bit of cringyness, weird cuts and mixes of the plot, and the characters sometimes are a bit off... but in general, I enjoyed it.

If they do a second season I'll totally watch it.

/also Iroh and Zuko made me cry like 3 times.

i feel like the biggest reason that dimartino and konietzko left live action atla production was bc the show runners wanted to make zutara canon

#atla #avatar #avatar the last airbender #tbh the series was not as bad i was expecting it to be #it wasn’t great but i appreciated it #it would’ve been a great tv show if it had been an original one #and i stg they’re making it canon #zutara #can’t believe it’s making a 2024 comeback #squad i will not deny 8 y/o me is v excited #baby me saw “hot fire guy” and self identified as the “awesome water girl’’ and i was gone #zutara hate recognized but will be ignored #love my man aang i just didn’t think kataang had romantic chemistry when i was 8 #obviously now i See The Light with kataang but i digress

mighty bold of racist texans to want to ban mexicans from entering the us when their ancestors, american colonialists, illegally settled (read: illegally immigrated) without the permission of the mexican government in the early 1800s and stephen f austin, who in his case did have permission from mexico to move himself and 300 families into texas, wanted to then "americanize" texas and said that "war is our only recourse...there is no other remedy" and then then after the "lone star republic" separated from mexico (that mexico never recognized) the us annexed the lone star republic, after which the us and mexico broke diplomatic dies, so that the us would then be able to declare war on mexico when they fought back (over border disputes of the rio grande vs the nueces river as the border of us/mexico) to lay claim to both texas and california

Donald Takaki "A Different Mirror: History of Multicultural America" Chapter 7

there's OBVIOUSLY some nuance here but the basic idea is astounding to me

#not that spain had any rights to that land either before mexico got independence in 1821 #and indigenous people of mexico suffered heavily as well for land that never should have been taken from them #but the audacity of those “anglos” and modern white texans is whack #the things i learn when i pick up any given book on american history is astounding #american history can really be summed up as “a conglomeration of illegal acts and mass violence and racism for more power and land” #both historically and in the modern age #whats more astounding is that bs WORKED #and now CA and TX are part of american #and we ''remember the alamo'' with maybe too much fondness

if junghoon isn't in this comeback i really might cry
