This isn't a Marvel movie where a group of heroes win the fight and it's over. This is real life, where thousands and thousands of people are going to have to work together for many years to slowly make change. We don't need a savior, we all need to get off our asses & do the hard work.

lady gaga said something on this recently and thinking about it again with alysa liu's performance: something different does happen when an artist sees the social role of performer as a public act of creating the possibility of communal joy and embodies it

So I kind of figured it’d be amazing to watch but man this really is different. She’s so relaxed. She’s visibly having so much fun. She’s not fighting for a medal here. She’s just playing her favorite game

Personally I don't think we need to take all his titles from him

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time
