media: we have an anti-authoritarian story for you!

me: sweet hit me with the good stuff

media: so there's this marginalized underclass of people, right?

me: okay

media: and they're like, stigmatized for something that's mostly an aspect of how they are born, or where they're from, or they're badly misunderstood, right?

me: yup, got it, I'm with ya

media: so these people are rebelling against the current social order, because it's the instrument of their suffering

me: oh good great sure

media: but also they're violent and deranged and need to be stopped

me: ...what

media: yeah they're going too far, they're trying to overthrow the system and assassinate the nice cop trying to help them and also they burned down an orphanage

me: ...why? would they burn down an orphanage??

media: extremism is bad

me: still not seeing what this has to do with their fight though???

media: also now they've shot a dog. oops they shot another dog

me: what?! why? I though their motive was to overthrow oppression??

media: yes but their suffering has also made them evil

me: ...???

media: don't worry though, the good guys will defeat them and restore the status quo

me: the status quo that's been killing people?

media: well it turns out it was only killing the kinds of awful people who burn down orphanages and shoot dogs :)

me: oh. this is actually a pro-authoritarian story, isn't it?

media: nooo of course not don't be sillyyyyyy we're super progressive look one of the cops is a black lady don't be sillyyyyyy

hot take in a roundabout way i think that's also why so many of us opt out of becoming parents ourselves

Does anybody know how to fix it

[rosslynpaladin]

Start disappointing people and not backing out of it when they are upset, reject feeling ashamed of everything including of yourself, start saying No to things you do not want to do not just things you're scared of, do more of those things you're scared of but wish you could do, make your own plans and execute them, decide to do or not do something without basing it on who will Dislike it.

Free Will takes practice, and the chance of making someone somewhere Slightly or even Very Disappointed In You. But you're an adult and you can't be made to stand in a corner anymore.

Guys, I don't think you understand how cool it is that Mingi posted that Instagram story with Boris Becker, a Congolese creator/dancer, and spoke a Congolese language (Lingala, I've been told) at a time like this:

South Korea just got kicked out of the World Cup by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and as a reaction, many, many, MANY Koreans took to the internet to be extremely racist.

They even targeted Jonathan Yiombi:

In case you don't know him, he's the presenter of the show "The K-Star Next Door", and had Ateez as guests wice, once to promote Bouncy, and more recently to promote Work:

The episodes are hilarious, and I'm pretty sure the man loses 5 years of life anytime he hears Ateez's names now, especially Mingi's and Wooyoung's lol

Anyway, I think it's impossible for Mingi not to know that SK lost to Congo and that this harassment/abuse campaign is going on, so this was nice to see!

He might even get some backlash from some Korean K-pop fans 😬 but I really think he doesn't care 😈

Have we considered JereJean making clay Christmas tree ornaments shaped like Jab??

Jean's are almost perfect, Jeremy's are a quite disastrous despite his best efforts. But Jean puts them front and center on CatLaila's Christmas tree at the Lofts, with the twinkling lights perfectly illuminating them. And when Christmas time is over, he makes sure to carefully wrap every single one in tissue paper before putting them into storage.

Next year, they're going to go on JereJean's very own Christmas tree, in Jeremy's new apartment.
