Attn Black people, stop scrolling.

This is not a drill: Chicago

OH, my bad. Lol. Wingspan. 🤓

Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Purely because of how clunky/dated they are, and how many times I’ve seen people bang their head against them. Including myself. Lmao.

So exhausting..

Black people actually did call all of this, so did Indigenous people. White people just thought we were exaggerating because you were fine with the violence toward communities that you thought wouldn't include you. But the thru line from eugenics, bleach, and Ivermectin to here was incredibly clear

Amazing how "Antifa" isn't actually an organization but still designated as a "terror group," while the KKK is an actual white supremacist "christian" terrorist organization that has mass murdered thousands of Black people and some white allies for 160 years—and is still not labeled a terror group.🤔

Turned on the game just in time to see Aaron Rodgers eat shit and go 3 and out lol. It's nice to know good things still happen

There's something so beautiful and cathartic about seeing Aaron Rodgers get sacked. Everyone should get to experience it

A TruthSocial post from Donald Trump, featuring an AI generated image of him in front of Chicago burning and under invasion with the words “Chipocalypse Now” near him stylized like the poster for the film Apocalypse Now. The text accompanying the post reads “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning…’ Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR 🚁🚁🚁”

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here.

This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

"I'm apolitical" just means "I'm happy with the status quo," and "don't talk about politics" just means "don't rock the boat." Those of us who suffer under the status quo don't have the luxury of being apolitical, and those who don't suffer have an obligation to stand with those who do.

Bluesky silenced trans voices over J.K. Rowling, here’s why Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire.

20 Aug 25 -- Bluesky has suspended multiple trans users for anti-J.K. Rowling posts even when they didn't mention threats or violence. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Okay, I’ve tried to be chill, but now we have to be friends, WHAT. I LOVE THAT SERIES. 😍

… Wait, what? No, that was never the issue. I haven’t supported WWE for years now, I just keep up with it on social media. I don’t watch weekly and don’t buy anything. My issue is not that I want to support them, I already don’t. The issue is not following it at all, even in passing.

That doesn’t make either better or worse than the other, but then you have to decide if you want to watch anime or not. But in this context, you’re just never gonna watch SpongeBob or How To Train Your Dragon or The Incredibles again. Only Ghibli and MHA and One Piece. That’s why it’s hard to do.

Put it this way: pro wrestling and WWE are the same thing in my brain. It’s not AEW doing a wrestling show, it’s AEW doing their version of a WWE show. That is how it reads to someone who only grew up with one way of seeing it. Like if you only watch western animation, anime is weird by comparison.

It’s not Coke vs Pepsi, it’s the NFL vs the CFL. Or what I mentioned, Hollywood vs international film markets. Or literally like going gluten-free. Will it be better for you? Yeah. Do you have to like it? No, not really. And that is the conversation.

That is what I’m trying to say. Leaving WWE behind means leaving alllllllllllll that shorthand and history. It’s not that I can’t do it, like I’m physically incapable, it’s would I still love it without all of that? Or does it just slide off my back?

I can’t have the same callbacks in AEW, the memes, the unwritten rules. The first African champion in NJPW won’t mean what Kofi winning at WM35 meant, I won’t mark out the same way when *blank* wins the big one the way I would if Zelina or Woods became world champ.

Happened a decade ago. That’s what I mean. It’s not that I can’t accept *anything* new, it’s that I already accepted WWE’s baggage and bullshit, Idk if AEW or ROH or NJPW or whatever will be worth accepting NEW baggage when I can’t have any of what I loved about wrestling come with me.

The same. I honestly really don’t like the general vibe around AEW being so anti-WWE, cause it makes me question if the stuff is actually good, or is it just “not-WWE”. Is the match good, or was there a lot of blood? Was it good, or does it rely on you having a specific opinion about something that

I should not like WWE. I only like it because I grew up with it, because if I didn’t, and you asked me to learn it from scratch, I would have probably stopped waaaaaaaay back at the HHH marrying a drugged Steph. And sure, that’s extreme, and AEW isn’t the exact same as that, but the principle is

All I’m saying is that, if I had not literally gotten into WWE as a non-critically thinking child, I have no idea if I would be a fan or not. WWE is a thing I enjoy with a LOOOOOOOOOT of caveats. Racism, sexism, assault scandals, generally just awful business and creative decisions, by all accounts

I can’t be 5 again, that’s kinda my point. Given how pro wrestling is, and has historically been, I genuinely wonder if I would have become a WWE fan now with no history. I only watched it cause my dad did, it was just on and I blindly accepted it, but I’m a completely different person now.

Same. It sucks cause I can’t support any of this at all anymore, I haven’t for years, but I just cannot get into AEW and don’t have the same history with things like NJPW or ROH that I do WWE. I feel like because THEY suck, I have to give up my childhood obsession. Smfh.

If triple h had a nickel for every time a press conference about his shiny new job necessitated a bunch of questions about sex trafficking he’d have two nickels and still no excuse for being a piece of shit 🤼‍♀️🤼‍♂️

Right? RIGHT??? Madness.

*from too far away* A will to live, if they got it!
