Idc if it’s Beyoncé or Kendrick. Idc if it’s a supposed homage to Black country or a “subversive” recreation of the Patton scene. Just call me the Sam-I-Am of patriotic iconography. Because none of it is truly subversive, and…let’s read the room.

We should be taking a hard look at/critical stance toward any celebrities saturating our screens and feeds with American flags, whether in the name of “reclamation” projects or otherwise. At any time, but now especially.

Has anybody else watched the Netflix adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude?

Do the people saying, “no reason for violence,” understand that denying medical coverage for profit IS violence?

I’m actually really upset about it. I’m trying to figure out how to get the old Google back. Y’know, the one that organized your search term into “all,” news, images, videos, shopping, etc.

And where “all” actually yielded answers instead of 60% ads.

Has anyone else felt like Google has been ruined in the past few weeks?

Mom: *texts me asking a question*

Me: *texts back with an answer*

Without fail, mom calls ten minutes later asking the same question I just answered via text.

What alum library privileges?? 👀

Where is the money going?! Clearly not toward production value.

It is *bothering* me! Like the girl is already green, they can’t help her out some???

Reskeet is crazy 😭

My first post #onhere:

Why does the lighting and color grading in these ‘Wicked’ clips look like something out of a low-budget Netflix show?
