  • I tried using it 6 months ago and tried to only follow nature related stuff and every fifth post still ended up being electoralism. Since the site's users are so overwhelmingly US-centric, it's useless to follow people, because as well as them posting about GOOD things I like, they also post about electoralism, and there's no way to split those apart.







  • Anything by Ed Sheeran but especially Shape Of You. Can't believe it was the most popular song for a long while. It's so repetitive and grating, and the lyrics are cringe af at best, objectifying and creepy at worst.

    An article about how the song was written: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/12/20/arts/music/ed-sheeran-shape-of-you.html

    Mr. Mac and Mr. McDaid weren’t convinced. “‘I’m in love with your body,’ on its own with no addendum, with nothing at the end or no preface, felt objectifying to me,” Mr. McDaid said. “It felt like that’s the thing — it’s just physical, it’s nothing else.”

    yup

    Mr. Mac gave the collaborators a challenge: to use the same four chords throughout, not switching to a major key for the chorus.

    Being bland and repetitive was an intentional design decision. That's why I hate it more than anything else.

    After about 90 minutes, they had recorded the complete song.

    :margot-disgust:

    Absolute gross slop.





  • It's good to see you again. I can tell you that I would CERTAINLY not be here right now if you hadnt made the impact you did on the site's culture and its overall acceptance of trans people. I'm so happy for that. 🖤❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
