#21 - The Coronation

[blackfairypresident]

boy: hi me: are you aware of your male privilege and all the misogynistic hyper-masculine ideologies you’ve subconsciously learned from other men and continue to perpetuate micro-aggressively?? if you are not then you are apart of a system that oppresses women and until you acknowledge this and actively try to unlearn patriarchal values i refuse to maintain any sort of communication with you and i hope you get dry skin that no lotion can moisturize

When writing a haiku The numbers go 5,7,5 You little pleb you

[sarahs-archive-deactivated20150]

When writing a haiku - That’s 6 syllables right there.

The numbers go 5, 7, 5 - 7 syllables

You little pleb you - 5 syllables.

lol he fucked up.

[skygenders]

Middle line could have 8 syllables or 4 syllables. Depends on how you look at it. 

[whatthepoetdoes-blog]

Also: Haiku are a 400 year old form of poetry expressing a small, impressionistic insight/observation of nature reflecting the passing of the seasons and the growth or ageing of the observer. They're not just amounts of syllabals. Poetry requires imagery and metaphor and is not a little trick to show that you can count the beats of words.

Don’t cheat on people, because the rest of their fucking life at 1am or when vodka fills their veins all they’re going to wonder is why the hell they weren’t enough for you and it will slowly tear them apart, and just because you aren’t there anymore doesn’t mean it isn’t your fault because every “I love you” that you ever said will echo in their god dammed head and no one deserves that.

You're worthless. You don't matter. Do the world a favor and kill yourself

No.

*You’re priceless. People love and care about you. Do the world a favor and live.*

my mother didn’t raise me to not thank the bus driver

[whatthepoetdoes-blog]

Like you said in the tags, they have to earn their fucking thank you. Or at least, they can unearn it. Bus Drivers are thanked until proven unthankable. But what about those drivers who you thanks and then they say nothing? Reavealing themselves to be a horrible bus driver the whole time? Don't you want to take the thanks back?

Hey can you please explain why you are against James Franco/the interview? I'm not a big fan of him but I feel a bit uninformed about the whole fiasco and why it's having such a big impact.

no problem my dude!

the thing that bothers me the most about sony actually releasing the interview is that seth rogen and james franco had a HUGE opportunity at their disposal. that movie had a big name cast, and they could have done so many things with the concept of north korea. they could have made a drama or a comedy based in north korea or SOMETHING to use that platform to raise awareness about the horrors that go on in that country.

do you know that kim jong-un has brainwashed north koreans to make them think that he can read their minds (about 11 minutes into this video)? think about how terrifying that is: living under a dictator who you think can read every thought of yours, so thus any negative thoughts you may have about his regime need to be avoided immediately.

then there’s the fact that there is a massive food crisis in north korea. it’s so bad that people eat pieces of corn found in the shit of animals because they’re so hungry. one of the most visceral things i heard was that in severe cases of malnutrition, the anus actually doesn’t close and anything you eat or drink comes directly out of you. these accounts come from prison guards who witnessed it.

at any point for any reason, police in north korea can charge you with any crime they want, and take you AND your family - regardless of whether your family was even with you at the time - to political prison camps. these camps are obviously fucking terrible places to be, as demonstrated by the images drawn here by former prisoners.

there’s also the fact that people can’t leave north korea. their borders are tightly monitored with frequently rotating guards who are told to shoot anyone who tries to cross. china, who shares a border with north korea, sends back people who have fled to china from north korea. women who return to north korea pregnant are forced to carry heavy loads up and down hills until they miscarry.

so i was relieved that sony wasn’t going to release the interview because i knew it would be full of racist, frat-boy level humor (spoiler alert: it got terrible reviews and yes, it full of racist, frat-boy level humor) that makes fun of 25 million peoples’ suffering. they had an amazing opportunity to raise awareness about the devastation that exists in that country, and instead they used that platform to be racist, mimic accents and literally make butt jokes.

when north koreans are finally freed of their chains, they’re going to learn that the rest of the world thought it was hilarious how much they were tortured.

that’s why i am against the interview, james franco, seth rogen and sony.
