Someone suggested this was what happened yesterday and immediately people attacked them for maligning democrats. Whoever you support, can we PLEASE at least accept that they are controlled by their donors?

This song literally went off right before I opened this app and saw this. And I'm listening to her today because we were listening to Olivia all yesterday 😭

Heavy on the menswear guy. Cause the north (the chronically online, myself included) would never forget. It would live on in people’s jokes and references forever 😭

That so many of us want representation so bad, that we won’t look no further into their actions or care once they’re elected and that we will defend them just like we do celebs who move funny.

Yea it’s a mindfuck seeing white people be racist towards Black candidates and politicians. But a lot of these politicians move just like the white politicians. So I could never not call them out, because they are doing even more harm for pretending to be for the people bc they know

I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.

I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this β€œdeal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

Side-eyeing PBS cause she should’ve had a full hour of her set/her own episode. Better Than You Left Me was her biggest hit from her EP but there were other good songs from that project that could’ve rounded out the hour if she didn’t want to perform every song from her album

Mickey saying that having a huge Black country star every 30-50 years like Charley Pride and Darius Rucker isn’t enough so she wanted to make music and hold the door open for others to come behind her is so real

Mickey Guyton sounds the same live as on her recordings. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since her EP. Time really flies.

Every day they tell the world how scared they are of dying, of fading into the darkness which inevitably consumes all of us
They think they are Colossi straddling the world, but really, they are sad little boys whistling in the dark, self-radicalizing in group chats, and shitting bricks about aging

We're extremely dishonest about the realities of aging in this country. The older I get, the more this becomes apparent to me.

There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
