Is the beginning of your URL inspired by Rawk Hawk from Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door?

UPDATE: There's now an online hub where you can find all things Christina Grimmie related here with links to the Christina Grimmie Foundation webpage, streaming services, official YouTube page, socials and more! Check it out if you're interested. 💚

As cool as Paper Mario is (extremely cool games) it is not.

My name is a nod to Christina Grimmie. The first half, Rawwkin, refers to Team Grimmie's use of rawwk fingers and the word "rawwk" in general. The video above is the origin of the word rawwk (pronounced the same as "rock").

The second half is Christina's surname, Grimmie, for her and her amazing family!

Lastly, the 64 is for zeldaxlove64, which is Christina's YouTube username (although I am also a sucker for Nintendo 64 games).

If any fellow frands are reading this, or for anyone else, Christina's family and friends made a Discord server for everyone to come together and hang out, as well as share updates and announcements.

Finally, I want to give a HUGE shout-out to the Christina Grimmie Foundation, a non-profit organization that raises money to assist the families of gun violence victims. CGF was founded by Christina's family after her tragic passing in 2016, and has raised thousands of dollars ever since it was established.

If you would like to donate, you can visit the official website here: https://christinagrimmiefoundation.org/

CGF also has Discord subscriptions in the server I linked above, so you can easily give monthly donations to the Christina Grimmie Foundation while also hanging out with all of the fans!

Thank you so much for the ask! 💚

The thing about the destiel news meme is that I actually think it's great.

It does let you know that something has gone on in the world. But it's such a short format that it could never even pretend to give you all the relevant information about that thing. It usually provides less detail than the average headline, so it's not actually reporting, it's more like shouting a head's up across a crowded room. Still lets you know that something has happened though.

The very fact that it's a goofy and irreverent fandom meme also serves as a perpetual reminder that using social media to get news is a bad idea. Now that you know something has occurred, go read an actual article from a real source to verify it and get the details. It's an alert system with a format that never lets you forget that alerts are not articles, and that this website is not beholden to any kind of journalistic integrity.

I love it, the comments on destiel news memes are almost always full of people saying that they saw it and then rushed off to go verify the news with a reputable source. Do you know how often more "serious" format news stuff on this site just leaves people complacently certain that they've been given accurate info? Way too often. I wish half as many of those news updates had people commenting that they left tumblr to go double check it.

Tumblr being the "piss on the poor" reading comprehension site makes sense when you realize that 79% of adults in the US are functionally illiterate. Same goes for Twitter and TikTok.

that's a real high number, sport. where'd you get it?

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hey anon

please tell me you didn't google "US literacy rates" and then make the funniest possible mistake one could make in that situation

The conversation surrounding cultural appropriation has been so severely mutilated by white “allies” that the original intention behind that conversation has become almost unrecognizable in most social contexts.

[afronerdism]

To explain what I mean, the conversation around cultural appropriation was started by black and native people to discuss the frustrations we feel at being punished socially and financially for partaking in our cultural heritage while white people could take, I.e. appropriate, aspects of our culture that we are actively shamed for and be heralded as innovators. It was about the frustrations we feel when the same white people who shamed us would take our culture and wear it as if they were the ones who created it while still actively shaming us for doing the same.

The original push behind naming cultural appropriation and having these conversations were so that we as a society could evaluate why we were punished for our heritage while white People were not. It was supposed to be about seeking solutions. The idea was to create a society where we could celebrate our cultures with impunity. It was never about telling white people that they “weren’t allowed” to do certain things. We did ask that white People stop doing certain things because they weren’t doing them respectfully and were not invited to do them, but the primary reason we asked them to desist was to reclaim the things they had stolen and to reassign them culturally back where they belonged.

White “allies” saw these conversations happening and instead of trying to aplify our own voices or even try to learn about the complexities behind why we were saying what we were saying, they instead began screaming over us and creating a narrative that was hardly even the bones of what we originally set out to say. It was like they took the conversation we were trying to have, completely decontextualized it, and stripped it of all it’s nuance in order to gain social currency by seeming progressive.

So the conversation around cultural appropriation went from “This aspect of our heritage belongs to us and we find it egregious that we are shamed for it. What steps can we take to address the racism that’s creating this situation as well as rehome the things that have been stolen” to “you’re not allowed to do that because if you do that you’re racist, we don’t really understand why that’s racist but you’re not allowed to do that and if you do that you’re a klansman no exceptions. So you’re not allowed because because”

At the end of the day, did I like the fact that sally was wearing dreads? No. But my primary concern was not that sally was wearing dreads but rather that sally could wear dreads and I couldn’t. THAT was the intended focus of those conversations. It was about addressing the inequality. It was about us. Now the conversation is just about sally and were completely forgotten.

White People are always asking me what they can do to help. You want to know? Stop talking. Aplify our voices and shut the fuck up because you all have pretty much derailed this conversation and many more like it to the point that we no longer are trying to make steps to understand and dismantle the racism around cultural appropriation and instead are just using it as social shaming tactics.

[afronerdism]

TL;DR: read my post. Most things worth learning about can’t be summarized in the bullet points of a buzfeed article. Don’t come into academic circles and complain because everything hasn’t been conviently summarized for you. Stop pretending that things aren’t accessible to you because you refuse to do the intellectual labor that is learning.

[theramins]

It’s the woke shit all over again man, oppressive forces don’t want marginalised communities to have words to explain how they are marginalised, so why not misconstrue it until it turns into a racist dog whistle :/

[wolfythewitch]

All i remember from when I was like 9 was I lowkey shipped bilbo and gandalf

[wolfythewitch]

So i looked it up out of curiosity and

[rawwkingrimmie64]

No, Wolfy, there is nothing problematic about Bilbo and Gandalf. They occasionally fight, Gandalf attempts to intimidate Bilbo in some fights, but they are otherwise very good friends brought together by the tragedy and burden of resisting the temptations of power and being unseen to the outside world that mocks and scorns their existence...

HOLY SHIT! How is this ship not more popular?!?
