my friend strawberry-pop, a very well known blogger on this site, mentioned her status to me and recently encouraged me to start writing on tumblr.com. what they didn’t know is that i’ve always been on and off the site. i never posted or interacted with others, but i would get on this site looking for astrology posts and  s o  n a s t y  content ;). I never stayed up to date with the trends on this site, but eventually they got to me once they hit mainstream media.

from the top of my head, i recall in the early 2010s dubstep and raves were at its peak. in the 2000s, pop music was also at its peak. today in the 2020s hyperpop is heavily influenced by both of these genres.

in the 80s - 00s sitcoms were very popular. before sitcoms the world was in shambles. viet cong, assinated presidents, bombs and bunkers, religion and philosophies within conflict of one another; hatred and fear was in the air. on the other hand you had yippies, black activists, people of all color fighting for the better, fighting for change, fighting for freedom from the oppression of the past and the present. i ask myself, “what happened to these people?” i then recall the hippies, the ones who just wanted to be there for the hype of things. they didn’t need to be there at all, they just wanted to be there. many of these hippies went back to what they were accustomed to: status, pleasure, and oppression. they went back home to their wealthy parents and worked 9-5s.

regan era was in place, the fun and the change was shut down, this lead to chaos behind the scenes. the richest and perverted people of this earth, making dark moves underground, war on drugs infiltrating black, hispanic, and other poc communities, yippie parents neglecting their kids, the chaos continues as sitcoms make their way.

sitcoms are wholesome because they depict what a happy, normal, american family should look like. this was pure propaganda and manipulation towards gen x and millennials, and they weren’t buying it. they knew there was no such thing as a “normal” family. these kids knew veterans, they saw the hood first hand in their face, loved ones on drugs with ptsd. how can a old generation “protect” these kids?  

skins UK is not a sitcom, but its a show that many people my age and older know of. I believe the popularity of this show was recognized on tumblr. the edge, the drugs, the sex, the pain, the fucks ups, were excessivly dipicted on that show. i’ve only seen about one season of skins and i already know the pain they felt at that time. generations and generations of pretending in the east, teens in the 2010s felt that. they found pleasure in the raves, they felt happiness and freedom there like the discos in the 60s-70s.

i was never there and i felt it. days as a child going on demand watching avicii and zedd, nightcore, paramore, paint it black, i felt it all.

Strawberry-pop was on tumblr and she saw and felt it in the moment. Strawberry-pop does a good job at keeping content up, she sees it all and she does a lot to fight back like the yippies and the misfits. empathy is their strength, they keep their composure through all the emotion. they know the feeling, they see it in me, like i see it in them.

today we continue to fight back. nothing will never be “normal.” people want to conform to normal, to suppress the pain all over again. i will fight until i see the earth bright again, until my fellow animals understand my love, until society feels my love like they know best.

check out my friends blog, and her post on how hippies—as well as other groups—affected pop culture. not only that, but she explains the importance of fighting back against mass media, when they are fueling the injustices going on around us. i am not as good as she is when it comes to articulating my thoughts, so i appreciate this informative, yet personal post. @v1rtualvic’s energy and passion for improving society brings me hope and drives me to speak up for the voices that are silenced.

i will continue to stay on brand and add a gif :,)

Israel did not exist until 73 years ago when they were a settler colony that took over Palestine and have been violently maintaining their position ever since. If you don’t know this history here is a good primer to get you started: instagram.com/p/CNz9-5tMkso/…

Hi, good day to everyone, wherever you are. But as you can see on the news, Philippines is facing a very difficult time today. We've been strucked by typhoon for five times since last month, amidst the pandemic. We just hit a week ago by a super typhoon and again, yesterday (11th of November here). Some parts of Luzon area are in major floods. A lot of houses was covered in floods and there are some casualties.

If you'll allow me to ask for donations, of any kind, for those who got affected by recent typhoons, you are all very much appreciated. Please message these contact informations for any kind donations. Thank you so much!

Here are some donation drives, you can message me for more!
