If I had a nickel

For every time my comfort show had a charismatic white male lead with extraordinary skills and complex family issues, who have a male and female side kick, who gets in regular intimate arguments because they exude strong "I can make him better and and I can make him worse" energy, and their dad got a old car to fix up with them that never got finished, and the emotional toll and character arc often left them feeling alone and isolated even though they were beloved by their friends, I'd have two nickels.

You can’t Abstain your way to a Better World.

The Burger still gets made, even if you go Vegan. If you don’t buy it, it just winds up in the trash. If you want to do something meaningful about waste, you need legislation: It must become a crime to waste food in those ways.

If you care about Animal Cruelty in Factory Farms, you need to get legislation passed. It must become a crime to mistreat animals in those ways, and when malfeasances occurs, the onus of responsibility for those crimes must fall upon wealthy shoulders. That, also, requires legislation. It requires regulations, and regulators.

The largest source of Microplastics is wear and tear on automobile tires. It doesn’t matter what brand of shampoo you buy. It doesn’t matter which company you support with your dollar. The issue of Public Transit is too large-scale to be handled at anything less than the municipal level.

It’s not enough to just not participate in society

If you want the world to Change, you must leverage the mechanisms of political power.

You need Government.

STOP PROPOSING INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS TO COLLECTIVE PROBLEMS

it's almost as if... when it goes into the garbage... companies don't get paid and they want to change so people will buy their product...

Listen, if you want to stop consuming unethical products, it's okay to do that. ALL of us can hope to get the laws changed, but individually, choosing where to spend your money has an impact as well.

your gif of "you keep talking" on my top post made me laugh so hard. dont tempt me. i have so much to say about that fucking album :(

I literally don't get the fandom hate on Scaled and Icy! It's such a rich, deep album. TOP fans have it completely wrong on this, it kills me! Spill the tea!

this album hit me hard and fast.

when a friend suggested i check twenty one pilots, out back at the end of april, i fucking laughed. legitimately had no desire. i stopped paying attention to them the second i heard “heavydirtysoul” for the 18000th time however many years ago. i never paid attention again. i was aware they existed but was deep into different things and sounds and wasn’t curious in the slightest. that’s a good thing. i wasn’t in a place where i could’ve appreciated any of it. especially not this album when it came out.

my friend never told me where to start. so i did what any sane person would do. i made a randomizer for the albums and then once the album was chosen did a randomizer for the songs and started there.

the first song i heard? “redecorate.” arguably not the place i would now advise anyone to start, but i was hooked. i then played the entire album and realized this was exactly the style i love. so imagine my surprise when i learned this isn’t the fan favorite??? that it’s considered their weakest album??? i… can’t even begin to comprehend this.

the way this album is a musical manifestation of on the outside everything is fine but inside you’re drowning and dying is fucking genius. the serious topics layered with uptempo beats and synth pop adjacent? the bright colors distracting from the messaging? how it calls out for help but also i swear i’m fine. i don’t know what tyler was smoking during this period but it’s borderline genius to create an album that masks itself fully and completely. an album that is so categorically different that you’re forced to ask why. an album that allows for serious conversations with a safety net of fun and whimsy.

i feel like people are probably incredibly confused about why i’m suddenly in love with this band. but when you find something that is a musical manifestation of your entire young adult life and dare i say into your actual adult life? you latch on hard and fast. in a weird way it’s made me feel like i wasn’t crazy. i’m not crazy. having days and weeks where you question what’s the point of continuing on while cracking jokes, smiling and being friendly is just something some of us will forever struggle with.

scaled and icy i don’t care what anyone says. you’re their best album, and i’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.
