- cherry wine is about domestic abuse. it’s now called a cute proposal song.

- too sweet is about seizing the day and ignoring healthy habits in favor of having more fun with unhealthy ones. he’s actively critical of himself in the song. it’s now called a song about thinking you’re superior for drinking black coffee.

- take me to church is about worship as a metaphor for sex. it’s called a religious song.

- eat your young is a song about war and political greed. it’s called a song about sex.

- now, the strongly political message of nobody’s soldier is being ignored in favor of calling it a metaphor for hozier’s relationship with his fans.

when are we going to stop simplifying hozier’s music down to cute little cottagecore bogman forest music? maybe you dont want to hear this but i don’t care. quit listening to hozier for the aesthetic. there’s a reason why empire now, foreigner’s god, butchered tongue, etc. songs with unignorable political messages are among his least popular songs.

There is a pro-transgender Labour revolt against health secretary Wes Streeting. You can sign the letter.

Labour health secretary Wes Streeting has continued the transphobic policies of the previous Conservative government. Now Labour members have published and open letter anyone can sign.

Wes Streeting has said:

“This ban [on puberty blockers] brings the private sector in line with the NHS. We are committed to providing young people with the evidence-led care that they deserve”.

Evidence shows that blockers are of great help to young trans people, as it gives them some breathing space before puberty changes their bodies in traumatic ways.

Streeting is either lying about what medical research on trans people says or he has not done his homework. As a gay man he should know how oppression and erasure works.

The letter states:

International evidence shows that puberty suppressing hormones are a safe and effective way to temporarily pause a young person’s puberty, giving them time to consider their options for transition. Much of the concern around their use stems from the idea that those who take puberty blockers go on to use cross sex hormones as part of their transition. We do not think that trans young people growing up to be happy and healthy trans adults is a bad outcome while rates of de/retransition are exceptionally low. Rather than honouring Labour’s manifesto commitment to “remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition & acceptance,” you have decided to strip trans young people of their bodily autonomy, undermining important medical principles, such as Gillick Competence, in favour of upholding the Conservative approach of politicising the lives of trans people. Even the widely discredited Cass Review does not go so far as to recommend the criminalisation of puberty blockers for trans young people.

You can read and sign the letter here.

this is about david tennant telling a transphobic politician to “shut up” btw:

[johnlockismyreligion]

Nah, shutting up transphobes and homophobes it's always the right thing to do.

[a-kind-of-merry-war]

For the millionth time the freedom of speech protects you from the GOVERNMENT not the DAVID TENNANT

[elodieunderglass]

He’s a citizen criticising a politician also. That’s the direction that freedom of speech is supposed to protect.

Granted him being a celebrity means that many people think he’s no longer a citizen, but the fact remains that celebrities aren’t government.

[elodieunderglass]

Like I know this is a bit of a circus because people get to defend their pet celebrity on social media and it’s all very distracting and sparkly, and it feels like a chance to be witty and look at David Tennant. It’s presented in a very online storm-in-a-teacup way. Everyone knows the Tories are faithless and everyone’s used to social media being nasty and there are pictures of David Tennant to spice it up. It’s something to distract nerds with, and it doesn’t take much.

But don’t get distracted from the fact that the prime minister of a nation, leader of the nation’s government, is publicly claiming that a private citizen of the nation criticising a member of that government is a violation of freedom of speech. Even if Tennant wasn’t someone whose face you like, it would still be absolutely shocking for the leader of a nation to call for his shame on public like that. It should be shocking. And the inversion of the idea that “people have the right to criticise the government” into “the government has the right, and indeed the duty, to retaliate against citizens for criticising it” should be something you can instantly spot and point out. Don’t look at the magic trick - look at the person’s hands. Don’t look at the celebrity - look at the behavior.

That’s the political sleight-of-hand that’s worth engaging with here. Especially since if anyone “wins” in the resulting court of popular opinion, it will likely be Tennant, and it will likely be attributed to his nerd-popularity. Notice and name the behavior instead. That will be perennial, sometimes associated with less beloved figures, and a good piece of critical thinking to practice.

Tintin remembers what comes after 15.

[drtanner]

FUCKING HELL IT’S BACK FROM LAST YEAR

[descole-dead]

This literally gets reblogged every 15th of the month. It’s almost two years old. It’s beautiful.

[descole-dead]

listen up ya’ll this post is 6 years old now and you’re still reblogging it. every month. once a month, my notifications blow up for this one video, but only until the 16th. then the notes on this vid completely stop. it’s so eerily spot on and impressive how you just all collectively know what to do. if I’m not online, people irl still remind me that it’s the 15th. thank you for six surreal years of me wondering if I completely fucking lost it. here’s to the 15th

[aboardthescheherazade]

Ten years of celebrating the 15th, everyone

[descole-dead]

HAPPY 10 YEARS OF THE 15TH, EVERYONE. I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE THIS IS STILL HAPPENING.

#HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY

[comradesaucegay]

every year around christmas me and my grandma play this fun family game called “maybe you want to put jesus in your room instead, sweetie? :)”. now, it’s important to note that the jesus referred to in our game is not actually the real jesus christ, but instead a wooden figure i made in 2011 that has an uncanny resemblance to the lord and savior himself

so what happens is that i place jesus in our living room, and my grandma smiles and asks me if i don’t want to decorate my room with him instead. i ask her in return if she thinks my jesus figure is ugly (which he is), but she reassures me that this is not the case. however, a couple of days later jesus mysteriously disappears from our living room, and appear in my room instead

now, the real jesus christ might have been able to perform a miracle like this, but please remember that the jesus in our story is only a figure made out of wood. he can not move on his own, so i think we can safely say that my grandma is the prime suspect here

the first year i would often confront my grandma about this, but she would always make up an excuse and never straight up tell me she moved him because he’s so ugly it’s an embarrassment to the family

eventually i grew tired of her lies, so now we only move jesus around in silence. one second he’s in the living room, the next he’s back in my room. in a way i think this adds an extra element of excitement to the holiday season, because you never know for sure when jesus is going to be moved again

and so it begins..

[grimeclown]

Kinda fucked up and nasty how vampires drink blood, imo. Like. Pepsi costs a dollar seventy five

[grimeclown]

Hospital

[grimeclown]

Not me I’m paying a dollar seventy five. At the hospital

[grimeclown]

I feel like we’re getting off topic

[bitegore]

So is pepsi if you steal it?

[grimeclown]

Because it’s only a dollar seventy five

[aromancy]

Why in God's name would a vampire drink pepsi

[midvvest-vampire]

Why would anyone drink Pepsi?

[grimeclown]

Huh?

[skywardkonahriks-deactivated202]

That’s why I’m not a fan of the sexy vampire trope.

1. It’s overused and supports the current status quote of typical vampire supremacy:worshiping rich folk.

2. Vampires prey upon humans and therefore symbolize capitalists preying on the working class.

3. Werewolves are much sexier imo.

[grimeclown]

[star-lara]

am I having a stroke????

[fiollaigean]

you might want to go to the hospital then

[sherlockfandomtandem]

I hear the Pepsi is cheaper there

[angstalottle]

Something really shitty has just been passed by the UK goverment.

A new bill that is stripping out human rights has been passed and we need to fight it before it costs lives. The new Human Rights Bill has made nazi Germans esc changes that will effect you or somone you love.

The most notiable parts being:

-If you are admitted to hospital with a disability or chronic condition a doctor can put a DNR do not ressusatate on you and you can’t appeal it.

-They are stopping woman from being able to move fowards with assault charges

- They are making it impossible for victims of terrorism to get justice. They won’t let people like the victims of  the hillsborough disaster hold the people responsible

Please do your own research if you must but we can’t let this happen!

There a petition to sign that’s already half way there so please share it around and tell ppl in the UK what is happening.

 https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/607712

Petition: Do not reform the Human Rights Act

The proposed Human Rights Act reforms must be withdrawn. The Government must not make any changes to the Human Rights Act, especially ones t
