I love how all the comments at once as completely accurate but still cannot encapsulate what the fuck is going on here.

[akajustmerry]

anyways, I'm still so angry over that Deadline article about Disney nuking Ncuti Gatwa's era of Doctor Who because of "woke" (not even kidding), because they received "overwhelming" feedback that the show was "too woke" for international audiences. It will never not piss me the fuck off how woke was/is literally aave for being politically aware that's been so co-opted by white establishment conservatives that this bastardised co-opted colonised concept of "woke" is now weaponised against Black people, people of colour and other marginalised people to justify casting us down and out. A literal fuckinf alien was played by a Black gay actor and old white people lost their shit and now a 60 yr old show is basically dead because some white people hated they weren't being directly pandered to. I'm never not gonna be pissed the fuck OFF

[akajustmerry]

Hey, people in the comments who said I was wrong about the show being dead because I could see the writing on the wall months ago....well, now there's the official announcement. I really hope that no one ever forgets that Doctor Who was cancelled because of anti-Blackness, racism, and corporate greed.

Fargo, ND just elected its first openly gay mayor!

North Dakota Sen. Josh Boschee elected mayor of Fargo

The Democratic state senator had the least city government experience of any of his opponents and won with nearly 47 percent of the vote.

Fargo bets on Boschee: State senator elected mayor

Fargo's first openly gay mayor-elect collected 47% of the vote, according to complete but unofficial results. Fargo City Commissioner Turnbe

For those of you unfamiliar with North Dakota/the Upper Midwest, yes, this is a really big deal.

country/rap as a fusion genre is the coolest fucking shit btw I cannot even begin to stress how hard it fucks

[tomyeahjusttom]

Any recommendations?

[lastoneout]

So unfortunately Ganstagrass is the one rap/bluegrass/countey fusion band I've found, but they fuck so hard but I haven't looked super hard yet, meant to take some time to do that today actually so I'll update the post when I do.

But since you asked for recs I have to get my usual recs out since I want everyone to listen to this stuff, so BRELAND, Tanner Adell, Blanco Brown, Reyna Roberts, and Willie Jones are all black country artists that blend a lot of rap and hiphop influence into their music which creates a really great vibe(especially since the white country artists doing this are just not anywhere near as good at it someone please stop Morgan Wallen every single one of his songs sounds exactly the same ahhhhh).

I have to plug Brittney Spencer, Shaboozey, and Tiera Kennedy too but those two do much more pure country, country/rock, and country/pop, and ofc I'd be remiss not to mention Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter album which is just a celebration of country and adjacent generes and black music and fusion stuff it's crazy just listen to the whole thing.

I also reccomend the Pony Up remix of Texas Hold 'Em but I hit the link limit.

As always, if anyone else has any recs, feel free to drop 'em here, I am ALWAYS looking for more country to listen to and I would love to have some more country/rap stuff like genuinely so bad pls.

Found a new artist, I love being alive.

[lastoneout]

Oh she knows how to sing a fucking ballad <3 I'm just keeping this post going forever. If you find new cool country artists you're legally obligated to tell me because despite my best efforts I live under a rock.

[lastoneout]

It's probably bcs my grandpa just died but this song just hit me like a truck and I can't stop crying

Also this is the closest to a nationalistic song by a modern country artist I like bcs it references 9/11 but only in regards to the firefighters who deserve acclaim for what they did that day. Nothing but respect for firefighters.

She has released 7 solo albums, 3 solo EPs, 3 albums with her previous band, Ezra Furman and the Harpoons, and has worked on the soundtrack for the Netflix show "Sex Education". They are Jewish, bisexual, and a trans woman. Their queer and Jewish identities are central to their work.

I'm Still Alex - Webtoon | Tapas | Linktree | Patreon

There are many things going on politically that are frustrating, but something that I find even more frustrating is how telegraphed the trajectory we’re currently on was and continues to be.

Roughly two years ago, there was a family member that I outlined how exactly this was going to happen.  How certain minorities were going to be labeled as being intrinsically criminal, and how this would lay the groundwork for future atrocities.

I pointed to specific language in Project 2025; Republicans literally spelled out what they were planning to do in advance.

I was ignored.

I’m not sure what it takes to get our fence-sitting “allies” to care, they might never…

…but given enough time and how bad things eventually get, they’ll say they did.

[quix5gg]

happy pride month especially to them

[rabbitkinglune777]

lil black positivity post but it's genuinely beautiful how black Americans(both south and US American) in this instance managed to keep some major aspects of our culture alive through dance, music, food, and clothing after CENTURIES of enslavement/imperlism + **ongoing** oppression.

HELPPPPP

[charlesoberonn]

Reminds me of Jason Kander, former Missouri Secretary of State. When he went to the VA hospital to treat his PTSD, he told the nurse that Obama told him he should run for president, and she thought he was delusional.

[charlesoberonn]

Correction: It was worse. She asked him how long he's been hearing voices.

[therapyhorrorstories]

I think I'm gonna make this my go-to story. It's not the worst I've ever heard, which is an asset because people won't believe you if you tell them the actual bad stuff those people do. And it just perfectly sums up the casual arrogance everyone working in mental health seems to have. The way they treat you as inherently Lesser for being in their care.

[therapyhorrorstories]

If they can't even handle basic, easily verified shit like "I'm a lawyer" they are never going to believe you when you tell them that you know how to manage a condition you've been dealing with for decades better than they can or will.

[homoqueerjewhobbit]

And then there's Alexander Morris, who was put in a straitjacket, called racial slurs, and denied treatment for his potentially life-threatening heart condition when he told them he was the lead singer of the band he was lead singer of.

Four Tops singer sues hospital alleging racial discrimination after he says he was placed in a ‘restraining jacket’ | CNN

The lead singer of the Motown group the Four Tops has filed a federal lawsuit against Ascension Macomb Oakland Hospital in Warren, Michigan,

[plum-soup]

There are multiple parts of that article that are Jae droppingly awful but this one really gets me:

They almost let this man die in a straight jacket simply because they were too racist. And then when they realize their "mistake", they tell him that his life is worth a 25$ supermarket gift card. Of course he's suing them for $75,000 as he should but like. Can you imagine how insulted he must've been. The 4 Tops were one of the top Motown bands of all time. You can be at the top of the music scene and still, they'll kill you because you're black. And they'll use fake claims about mental illness and "aggression" to justify it

[genderkoolaid]

& to be clear: none of this is good for anyone. actually delusional people, people who actually hear voices or see things, do not deserve to be treated like this. there is nothing about a person harmlessly believing something fantastical (or which sounds fantastical to you) that requires you to put them in a straightjacket and drug them or deny them necessary drugs. Black mentally ill people do not deserve to be tortured and murdered in a hospital for being Black and mentally ill.

this kind of system is a weapon which can be pointed at anyone. in order to prevent shit like this from happening, we also need to deconstruct how we view mentally ill people, including people who are delusional and hallucinate, and what we view as "reasonable" or "necessary" when it comes to such people.

[doberbutts]

Black people- including famous black people- have been arrested for "breaking and entering" their own homes due to a neighbor witnessing them unlocking their own house door with their own house key and calling the cops. College professors, celebrities, politicians, and everyday people such as my own father.

It's common enough that young black kids are told to keep any identifying information on them at all times just in case someone reports a black kid breaking and entering by walking into the house they've lived at since they were born. Because that has happened.

When you add mental illness and the healthcare industry into the mix, things only get worse from there. To be clear, you don't need to be black or mentally ill to be treated poorly by a doctor or nurse that's decided they know you better than you do. But it sure doesn't make things easier.

And people have died as a result- or have we already forgotten the death of Adriana Smith who went to THE HOSPITAL SHE WORKED AT AS A NURSE reporting severe headaches and was dismissed as exaggerating and imagining the severity, only to be declared brain dead upon arrival less than 24 hours later and artificially kept alive to force her dead body to carry her baby to term- which couldn't even happen and they had to remove him via C-section anyway.

These are related problems. And until we fix the root cause, they will keep happening.
