Not enough people are talking about so here’s a thread of resources and donations links about the g*nocide happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo (🧵):
“If bisan dies I will riot” Riot NOW while she’s alive. Do not wait for more Palestinians to die until you do something. Fight for her now, fight for everyone now. They deserve to live to see a free Palestine. They deserve to see your allyship
As we approach the end of the global strike (it officially ends tomorrow) I want to make another thread of links and resources for Palestine that people can share, donate, and learn from - so here it is (🧵) 🍉:
The SwiftiesForPalestine has helped me slowly come to realize that I’m here less so for the actual “stan culture” and more for the community of people I’ve met with shared interests, passions, and most importantly moral values
A group of Hollywood stars and executives have signed an open letter to President Joe Biden, thanking him for his ‘leadership’ and calling for the release of all Hamas hostages.
The gaslighting in the ticketmaster waitlist email is insane “but hang on tight!” - bitch we know this means that we are not getting tickets - don’t even lie
Just reminding everyone that the r-word (“girl_____”) is a slur actively used against disabled + neurodivergent people. This is not funny or cute. It’s literally a slur. Stick to girlidiot please.
If Speak Now TV does come out soon just know I’ll still be holding a grudge against many of y’all for how you treated Superman. IT IS A GOOD SONG - YALL JUST DONT LIKE TO HAVE FUN 😐
Louis Tomlinson seemingly addresses One Direction fans known as ‘Larries’:
“You start by realising all these ridiculous childish theories and conspiracies are wasted time and energy and then just throw the chicken in the oven to be fair. Simple stuff”
To everyone relating TTPD to a specific person - whether it’s a situationship or a relationship - comment their zodiac signs (if you know it) I wanna see something
@daysevermore
They say this while “I’ll stare directly into the sun but never in the mirror” and “No one wanted to play with me as a little kid so I been scheming like a criminal ever since to make them love me and make it seem effortless” and the entirety of Would Could’ve Should’ve exists
Everybody saying “I’m ready for Rep TV” and that’s bullshit cuz most of you mfs were not ready for 1989 TV and whined ur asses off about EVERY LITTLE change - you are not ready for rep be serious
“I’m a Speak Now fan-“ so you’re traumatized and a hopeless romantic but no one ever picks you or loves you properly so you’re forced to live inside the fictional fantasy you’ve created in your head in order to cope?
Now idk if this about her silence on Palestine or her hanging out with Brittany Mahomes but either way I think people, especially Palestinian swifties and/or swifties who are SA survivors, absolutely have a right to criticize and be upset with Taylor
@overcompenSADE
up to 6 now… god forbid they have to drive for 3 hours while the rest of us need to spend hundreds in flight tickets to see them bc they’re only going to 6 countries in europe😭
And where r all my girlies who are not getting invited out to any NYE plans and instead are forced to spend it at home with their parents (bonus if ur a college student home from uni and you have no hometown friends)
@86FLAYXR
Idk if anyone remember this show but Daybreak (on Netflix). That cancellation announcement pissed me off, especially bc it ended on a cliff hanger.
I’ve read better written fanfics on WATTPAD in middle school than the things i’ve heard about Colleen Hoover’s writing (I haven’t read, I refused to but my friend did) (and yes full offensive on the wattpad comment 🤭)
Respectfully - this is completely different. Matt Healy is extremely problematic - he is racist, misogynistic islamophobic, antisemitic - an overall piece of shit who has done and still does a lot of harm. “Let Taylor be happy” in that case meant being okay with her complicity
@sitcomabed
This is such a good point - like SZA and Zayn Malik are arguably just as famous and both have been extremely outspoken about Palestine. And if she was worried she could have spoken out way earlier in the month, before she was going back on tour.
@cowboylike_meg
Literally one of her best - it perfectly encapsulates the grief of losing someone so suddenly. Feeling like you didn’t do enough, say enough, spend enough time with them. It really gets at the powerlessness people feel when it comes to death and losing someone.
Okay listen I know we all hate John Mayer but Lizzie already cancelled her set with him so why are we bullying her?? Some of y’all got to go touch some grass like actually.
Since i’ve been gaining a lot of followers lately im going to make a thread about what’s happening in the East of DRC and how to help. But before you try to learn about any of this please learn about the difference between DRC and Congo. And stop using the wrong flag.
🇨🇩 who you should follow from congo
@congofriends

i just wanted to use my platform to spread awareness about what has happened today
tw: transphobia
This is Brianna Ghey - a 16 yr old trans girl m*dered for simply living, simply EXISTING as her authentic self. What happened today is horrific and heartbreaking. (1/-)
CITY OF JOY: An educational and safety center for women survivors of sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
A Thread 🧵
⚠️ Discussions of sexual violence, rape, graphic injuries
Okay I haven’t talked about it but I’m going to make it crystal clear - if ur a Matt Healy apologist or defender please unfollow me. This is NOT a safe space for you. He’s a bigoted piece of shit and if you can’t accept that you’re delusional.
This whole Matt Healy situation really is showing some of y’all true colors. Defending his “ British humor” which first off, multiple marginalized communities have said is NOT funny and secondly you guys need to learn the difference between punching up and punching down humor.
@haleydunphyjr
10 things I hate about you - my friend put me onto it one night and I am notably not a huge romcom person because I get second hand embarrassment easily from those types of movies but damnnnn I loved 10 things I hate about you
Today was rough as fuck but at least we have this video from
@Stevensully99
to cheer us up (the sped up part for the other side of the door made me cry with laughter)
recently i've been seeing awareness tweets about the crisis that has been going on in congo which is amazing, however majority of the tweets that go viral are incredibly vague, therefore i'll be compiling a thread about the situation & some history & why its so insanely important
So….learned two very valuable lessons this week 1) vitamins have expiration dates and 2) dishwashing liquid is NOT the same as dishwasher detergent 🧍♀️🚶♀️
