They’re In A Qpr

crow’s heart is in the right place

My friend is surrounded by the army

The IOF has given my friend Abed @mohmad5 and his wife @safa-abed seven hours to leave before bombing starts.

They are crouched in the rubble of their former home waiting to die.

The road costs $1000 per person. I have no hope of getting him this without help. Please do what you can for him.

Celebrity Platforms

Today, someone I’ve respected for a long time made some tweets that were incredibly controversial for obvious reasons. To be clear, I have supported Twenty One Pilots for a long time. I was at their concerts with audiences of 500, and Their music saved my life. I have a tattoo of the song that saved me.

Tonight, however, Tyler tweeted some problematic content. For context, his fans have apparently been begging him to use his celebrity platform to speak out about important issues. Namely, the BLM movement. Instead of initially tweeting about BLM, he tweeted this.

I see where this could have been funny in another context. It’s very much a “read the room” situation, and Tyler did not. Two hours later, he begins a thread of tweets about mental health.

Mental health is important by all means. The way he went about this was a bit flawed. Some of his tweets made his followers believe he was in danger; and that they had caused him to be in danger. I wouldn’t go quite as far as to call this gaslighting, but he was on thin fucking ice.

Two hours after this, he finally tweets his stance on the BLM movement. His response is incredibly flippant. He stated that Black lives matter, but he wanted to take time to talk about what he felt was important. Then, he said, “but I guess there’s no room for that right now.”

He then finally apologized.

Let me be incredibly clear, there is always room for mental health awareness. Always. No one is upset with him for promoting this awareness. What people are upset about is the flippant way he went about promoting issues. The way he joked about using celebrity platforms to promote the BLM movement, after months of silence.

His “stans” are jumping to his defense. Saying he shouldn’t have to promote “political” issues. He’s not an activist, he’s a musician.

Some of the fandom has canceled him.

What needs to be done is to have celebrities held accountable. We don’t need to cancel. We need to educate. Human rights issues are NOT political. You don’t have to be an activist to speak up about human rights; and it doesn’t make you an activist to do so. It makes you a human being.

Celebrities, specifically straight, white, cis, men; have an obligation to use their platforms for good. This is not exclusive to celebrities; but people tend to listen to those who have a higher societal standing (appeal to unqualified authority and all that), and thus, will listen to their favorite celebrities. We all have this obligation with social media. Use your platform for good. Be better. Do better.

y’know, it’s way cheaper than a typical FTM bottom surgery. Shout out Asmodeus, trans ally?

That’s the thing!! Demons would be not only allies but also extremely queer themselves!!! That’s another reason why the aggressively conventional cishet vibes of that Etsy rabbit hole were so weird!!!!

i wanted to show everyone my favorite tiktok

Needless to say, I am HORRIFIED.
