opposite energy from tasting turkish delights for the first time and wondering wtf was edmund on
you ever have a piece of bread that’s so good you understand the plot of les miserables?
When you spend 100 years in a coffin on the bottom of the ocean and the family you arch gets other villains
this is awful but I’m not sorry
EDIT: here’s a link to the full comic
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
