They need to invent more fake celebrities like Hatsune Miku and Gorillaz and the Muppets because it's genuinely the most sustainable way to maintain a parasocial relationship with the entertainer class.
My father was martyred by Israel on 10 October 2023 after sacrificing his care in hospital so the injured children could take priority. Today would have been his 60th birthday. He was always selfless, kind, and giving for others. My father gave up everything for me to be able to have a better life, because that is what he always dreamed for me and my sister. The world suffered a great loss when he died, and my heart is always with him and every Palestinian who has lost someone.
In his honour and memory, I would love for anyone who is able to do so to consider donating to The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.
The PCRF is an amazing organisation that does so much for those in Gaza right now, including helping provide food, water and medicine. You can donate any amount you are able to- there is no minimum! My father would have given his very last cent if he saw the way Palestine was continuing to suffer after over 100 days with this limited aid, so I know celebrating him by helping others is the least he would have wanted.
I saw @parrot-parent do a very successful donation match and I thought it was such a good idea so I will also match all donations up to $500! If you feel comfortable sending me proof of the amount of your donation, I will match it as a donation at the end of February. (My messages are set to mutuals only, but if you donate and we aren’t mutuals if you send an ask with the proof I will make sure to answer it privately.)
neocities guide - why you should build your own html website
do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again?
try neocities!!
what is neocities?
neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words:
"we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."
why should I make my own website?
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!!
building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.
what would I even put on a website?
the best part about making your own site is that you can do literally whatever the hell you want! focus on a specific subject or make it a wild collection of all your interests. share your art! make a shrine for one of your interests! post a picture of every bird you see when you step outside! make a collection of your favorite blinkies! the world is your oyster !!

I still think we should celebrate Kissinger's death even if he didn't face justice and lived a confortable life, just so that everybody knows what a piece of shit he was, just so that when some Great Stateman like I don't fucking know Biden tries to eulogize him he is flooded with insults and mockery y quede bien para el culo, so that nobody can even PRETEND he had any worth, millions should celebrate he's fucking dead and this is how he will be remembered, as an imperialist criminal hated all over the world with no redeeming qualities, none should be able to even pretend he was some some great man except for the magnitude of his crimes
letting celebrities think they can and should "use their platform" to speak on all current events and political issues regardless of how educated they are on them was a grave mistake
"Mary, Mary, I know you been feeling down
Mary, Mary, when you gonna figure out?
Mary, Mary, you ain't ordinary
Everybody sees it, Mary, Mary
Just believe it, ah-ha (It's all in your head)
The night is still young (It ain't over yet)
Meet me outside (You know the address)
I'll make sure that you don't forget
Everything I like about myself is better with you
Scream it to the world like, "What the hell?", I celebrate you
'Cause everything I like about myself is better with you
Scream it to the world like, "What the hell?", I celebrate you
Mary, Mary, I'll be with you through the pain
Mary, Mary, I know that you'd do the same
Mary, Mary, you ain't ordinary
Everybody sees it, Mary, Mary
Everything I like about myself is better with you
Scream it to the world like, "What the hell?", I celebrate you
'Cause everything I like about myself is better with you
Scream it to the world like, "What the hell?", I celebrate you
I celebrate you, I celebrate you
I scream it to the world like, "What the hell?"
I celebrate you
I celebrate you, I celebrate you
I scream it to the world like, "What the hell?"
I celebrate you
Believe it, ah-ha (It's all in your head)
The night is still young (It ain't over yet)
Meet me outside (You know the address)
I'll make sure that you don't forget
Everything I like about myself is better with you
Scream it to the world like, "What the hell?", I celebrate you
'Cause everything I like about myself is better with you
Scream it to the world like, "What the hell?", I celebrate you
I celebrate you, I celebrate you
I scream it to the world like, "What the hell?"
I celebrate you"
"Disco" is the fifteenth studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue. It was released on 6 November 2020 by BMG Rights Management and through Kylie's company, Darenote. Following the completion of her promotional activities with the "Golden Tour" in 2019, the artist began working on a new album, enlisting producers such as Sky Adams, Teemu Brunila, and Biff Stannard, among others. Kylie continued work on the record from her home in London, due to COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and received engineering credits for vocals and synths.
The album was stylistically influenced by various sounds of the Disco genre, which was initially influenced through segments of her "Golden Tour". Musically, "Disco" combines elements of nu-disco, funk, dance-pop, and pop music, and explores themes of love and intimacy, fun, unity, and celebration. She also received songwriting credits for each track on the album. Music critics praised "Disco" for its catchiness and upbeat nature, as well as her return to Disco music. As a result of its critical success, it was included on various end-of-year lists published by various publications and was nominated in categories at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards and 2021 ARIA Music Awards.
"Disco" was a commercial success, debuting at number one on record charts in her native Australia, the United Kingdom, Scotland, and Ireland. It was also in the top ten in Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, and New Zealand. It was certified Gold by the British phonographic industry (BPI) for shipments of 100,000 units. "Disco" spawned three major singles to promote the album: "Say Something", "Magic", and "Real Groove" and three promotional singles : "I Love It", "Dance Floor Darling", and "Miss a Thing".
