“it’s my culture” “your culture is yodeling?” peak ignorant white girl moment at the ignorant white people festival

[jewishbarbies]

the thing here people don’t get is, even if you don’t know what’s going on at first, that was your first reaction to a culturally significant thing brown people were doing. your instinctive response was to be sarcastic and dismissive and call something that sounds nothing like it “yodeling”. you’re friends with the self titled “midwest princess” and you don’t know the different between yodeling and cultural cheers? and the apology is still just as dismissive. if that’s who you are when you’re just not thinking about it, when you’re not considering that you’re on camera, maybe you need to do some reflection on that as a person.

Also... Yodeling IS someone's culture. This particular person wasn't yodeling, but would it be a problem for a Swiss person to yodel?

Everything about this statement is so fucking ignorant.

Remember when Lil Nas X beautifully explored his sexuality, seduced and killed the devil to the banger of all time, and instead of cheering on this openly gay and proud Black artist for his artistry and fighting back against respectability politics, suddenly said respectability politics was all the Queerest Place on the Internet cared about? Hm. Wonder what happened there.

Anyway I miss him and hope he's doing better with his mental health 🙏🏾

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.

why is it so comforting to know that even in 40/50s lesbians will always have the most unhinged lesbian drama

Random thing for people to consider is that since Laika is the saint of one way trips should Felicette be known as the saint of safe landings since she did make it back to the ground safely

[somefishycat]

tu LANCES félicette ? tu lances son corps comme la fusée ? oh ! oh ! prison pour les scientifiques ! prison pour les scientifiques pendant Un Mille Ans !

You can understand the French perfectly fine with only context but the English translation I got still had me floored

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

I haven’t eaten anything other than protein bars and crackers since like 8AM this morning because this work trip ran way over.

Guess who had a shoulder subluxation during work!! Right before a day where they have a lot of lifting/activity to do 🙃

[ot3]

its crazy how many people but more specifically mostly men out there are so solipsistic that they can't imagine that beauty actually is subjective. like they just assume that features they find appealing are by default just innately more beautiful on an objective quantifiable metric.
