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 now70s country - bluegrass traditional
80s country - power ballads
90s country - pop crossover
00s country - white supremacy
im in love with the concept of dirk growing up on orange soda but never having tasted an actual orange in his life
so jade takes him to a new carapace farm plucks a ripe orange off the tree and dirk just bites into the whole thing like a fucking animal, rind and everything
and jade is just staring at him astounded by what the fuck she just witnessed like
JADE: ._.
JADE: i...... think youre supposed to peel it first!!!!!
i love this because it implies that jade wasnt taught how to eat it either. shes sure your supposed to peel but hasnt had confirmation
“Batman has more than one son,“ I say into the mic.
The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.
“She’s right,” I hear. I look around for the owner of the voice. There in the fifth row, he stands: Bruce Wayne himself.
“What does he know about Batman” the crowd replies and resumes booing. Bruce Wayne discreetly leaves the room. In an unrelated turn of events, a voice speaks from above. “She’s right,” I hear. There crashing through the skylight: Batman.
#i can’t believe bruce wayne missed his chance to meet batman
bold of you to assume bruce isnt one of batmans sons. think about it, he was orphaned as a kid. do you really think that he was raised by a butler alone? no, he was batmans first adoptive son.
Those posts that are like “you’ve found a mysterious briefcase full of Crime Cash, how would you spend it without arousing suspicion?” were clearly not written by anyone who’s ever owned a really, really shitty old house. Like, do you have any idea how eager the sorts of home contractors who are willing to work on places like this are to be paid in cash? That’s a tax-free windfall as far as they’re concerned, so long as they can contrive not to report it – and they’re extremely good at not reporting it. With a briefcase full of Crime Cash, I could get this place renovated from top to bottom, and the people doing the work would erase the money’s paper trail so thoroughly that even Sherlock Holmes would never find it.
