my 60yo technologically challenged dad is obsessed with silverback gorillas for some reason and today he asked what a furry was. when i explained it and explained fursonas he said without missing a beat “i’d be a gorilla” and im still shaking over this….. this man announced his own fursona within one (1) minute i.e. 60 seconds of learning what a furry is
i learned that there’s a Japanese beetle that when eaten by a frog will haul ass through its digestive system and escape out the back end unscathed (x)
you eat me and i perfectly dodge all of your digestive enzymes and stomach acid and i sprint out your asshole fully intact
It’s so funny how pple on all social media platforms are claiming that Oppenheimer isn’t propaganda becos it criticizes the bomb, and Im just going, my dears you need to remember how propaganda works. Saying Oppenheimer couldnt possibly be propaganda becos it is critical of the bomb is like saying Brooklyn 99 can’t be copaganda becos they had episodes that were critical of the cops. 😑😑😑
Im sick and tired of having to explain until I’m blue in the face that propaganda, particularly Hollywood propaganda, doesnt always have to take the form of obvious messages like “X is good!!” Or, “Y is bad!!” Anyways, here’s a great tiktok that explains why Oppenheimer is propaganda:
The reason we’ll never make it anywhere on conversations of cultural appropriation is because only like 2 people acknowledge the fact that diaspora/mainland context is important and even less people than that are aware that sometimes mainlanders opinions on what’s culturally appropriative outside the mainland don’t fuckin matter 💀
People in diaspora having to deal with white nonsense on the daily and thus can see the signs of a brewing storm (white people finding various ways to disrespect us): this is culturally appropriative (and also indicative of a larger issue)
Mainlanders who’s only interaction with and view of outsiders is tourists and foreigners looking to sink money into the economy somehow (and who also think attention from yt ppl is automatically good): no it’s not you’re just being sensitive
You dig deeper and it’s galactic levels of respectability politics and colonized mindsets that you can’t even begin to unpack because the people you’re talking too think racism against white people is a real societal threat they need to defend against
BTW for anyone too lazy to do the math a wage of $125 a day works out to about $15/hour for an 8-hour workday so….. someone in 1923 definitely had a vision of the future
