in 1994 when green day first became famous, they invited pansy division, an openly gay punk band, to open for them for the entire dookie tour knowing full well the responses would be mixed. in 2016/2017, on their revolution radio tour, green day chose only female led punk bands to open for them to help create recognition for these artists in a male dominated scene. this band has always been using their voices for the right reasons and i love them so much for that.
And Against Me! Is opening for them too! A band fronted by a trans woman! Fuck yeah Green Day
If I’m not mistaken, there was a prom somewhere that was cancelled one time because a lesbian couple wanted to go, so Green Day rented a venue and had a prom for them. Not sure about accuracy, my mom told me about that
yes this is true as well!! green day helped to fund and organize this second prom when the first one was cancelled. the second prom was actually open not only to the students of the school, but also to any other lgbtq+ students as well as supporters in the state of mississippi who wanted to attend as well!!
The Heathers trailer is so brutally unpleasant and really seems to enjoy knocking on minorities for no reason that I’m honestly convinced that these people don’t really give a shit about the original film’s intentions and just wanted an excuse to go “SEE! MINORITIES CAN BE BULLIES TOO”
Like the whole minority bait shit was bad enough but I really wasn’t expecting the movie to be like “hey I bet you think it’s weird that these marginalized kids managed to become super powerful and popular? Well we do too and we’re gonna mock them relentlessly for it”.
I mean on the plus side, it makes the movie even more ireedamable
OKAY YOU KNOW WHY IT STRUCK A WEIRD CORD WITH ME, because the protagonist was a skinny, straight, white girl. It’s like they were trying to imply that the antagonists are meant to represent a possible future where they somehow have enough power and popularity to bully the conventionally attractive protagonist.
Basically it’s less of a Heathers reboot and more like a live action version of this pic
i think the thing that makes me angriest about the entire culture of people being forced to set up online fundraisers for things like medical treatments and basic necessities is that at least 99% of the people who donate are people who are ALSO struggling but just slightly less, people who think “well i was saving this $20 for lunch this week but this person who needs chemo could probably use it more”, while a single billionaire could fund every online fundraiser in existence and not even notice a dent in their wealth
The hypothetical billionaire in the OP’s statement has a choice between helping their fellow human beings – a choice will not negatively affect their daily standard of living at all, I should mention – and literally eating gold for no fucking reason other than for the sake of eating gold, and you know that they’re going to choose to eat the fucking gold every fucking time.
In 2040 you will only be able to get a job in an Amazon warehouse because their stores and Whole Foods locations no longer utilize physical staff, and Amazon Bank (the only place offering a debit card which is the only card accepted by all 5 stores in town, all owned by Amazon) will also have no physical staff, and the public transportation system which only accepts Amazon Bank debit cards is run by auto-driving cars produced by Amazon on Amazon-owned roads named things like Bezos Ave., and you might think once or twice about using your Amazon-OS powered cell phone to call a lawyer before you realize that all lawyers are now automated call systems simply referring you to the judge of your nearest Amazon-owned courthouse, which is also run by automated call systems which refer you to higher Amazon courts.
hot take unpopular opinion but ummmm stop using pictures of random kids You Dont Know as your tumblr aesthetic! it’s so goddamn creepy idk how more people dont realize how bizarre and invasive it is to base your blog around pictures of a strangers children
like just?? think critically for a second. how would you as a parent feel if you saw a picture of your child online with hundreds or thousands of likes and reblogs?? an innocent picture you put up online on a blogspot or something. how would you feel? would you not be creeped the fuck out if you found a picture of your child being passed around without any kind of consent from you, as a parent?
does no one else see this as weird?? ESPECIALLY you motherfuckers who mix in pictures of random kids with nsfw posts. you guys need to like… stop
I feel the mountains burn inside
