zooophagous:
“Unicorn” is a bit of a misnomer, as the singular horn is actually not a horn at all, but a tusk, or elongated tooth, similar to that of an elephant or a narwhal.
The unicorn is an anomaly because it is a grazing animal, but the giant tusk makes it very difficult to traditionally graze. The unicorn evolved around this by employing a prehensile trunk, which it uses to pick long grasses and leafy forage. Bull unicorns are larger than cows, and have longer tusks, which they use to spar.
Sparring or “jousting” with these deadly weapons can easily cause severe injuries or death. As such, unicorns developed an elaborate and intense display system of dancing and rearing to intimidate rivals, and will typically only fight as a last resort.

Frida Kahlo disliked white capitalism intensely, so I would recommend not buying images of her on socks or whatever from big box stores especially if you’re white.
What I would recommend instead is make your own art and design inspired by her. She taught underprivileged teenagers art in the years leading up to her death. Her class was multicultural due to Mexico accepting refugees from WW2 including Jewish people(she herself was half German Jewish). She was very pro DIY and I think would’ve been flattered by fan art that’s not sold for money.

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.
I know this is a funny post but
There are a few major points in Country Music’s history that got the entire genre labeled as ‘annoying’
Post 9/11 nationalism
A term that I couldn’t make up “Bro-Country” which intensifies themes of booze, objectifying women, and partying that were present in past decades but not to such an extent
This is Gospel Music But With an Accent
Now looking at the songs op listed there is
A woman pleading to another woman
A woman wrecking a shitheads life
A guy loving the scenery of where he lived
A song that could easily be mistaken for a number of other genres
But it is easier to say that one hates country while privately enjoying select songs than explain why one doesn’t like the current market oversaturated with our nation’s problems of nationalism, sexism, and so on
see also jhonny cash/willie nelson era songs which were deeply emotional stories often about painful and deep subjects. prison, loss of loved ones, hard labor, facing despair, passion. ‘ghost riders in the sky’ and the like are also deeply satisfying as they bridge more into folklore then ‘murica fuck yeah im sponsored by bud light yall’

another example- ‘midnight in montgomery’ where hank williams junior sings about the ghost of his father
“ … And felt the wind die down,
And a drunk man in a cowboy hat,
Took me by surprise,
Wearin’ shiny boots, a nudie suit, and haunted, haunted eyes,
He said: “Friend, it’s good to see you,
It’s nice to know you care”
Then the wind picked up and he was gone,
Was he ever really there?

‘Cause when the wind is right,
You’ll hear his song,
Smell whisky in the air,
Midnight in Montgomery,
He’s always singin’ there, “

the reason we ‘hate country’ is because we know its supposed to have FEELING and its infuriatingly absent now
70s country - bluegrass traditional
80s country - power ballads
90s country - pop crossover
00s country - white supremacy
