Everything sucks rn. Really need Jhonen Vasquez to create a new show

"The spectacle of overt repression serves as a warning to others. Equally powerful, though, are economic carrots and sticks that have been used to discipline the media."

By the head of the Federal Communications Commission, in 2022:

Thinking about this again and the commodification and gentrification of Pilates. Pilates wasn’t even intended for the main practicing group now, and just like so many other things that intended for those with minimal resources and access it’s co-opted by wealthy elite groups that need to consume

I was talking about it earlier and saw a post about it just now. Remember, young girls (especially ND girls) can be radicalized through harmful content too. ED tiktok is picking up where Tumblr left off, and it’s leading to some pretty dark places, and naturally intersects with the SAHG/W content

ICYMI: I wrote about 89x returning for the @metrotimes.com 🖤 www.metrotimes.com/music-2/89x-...

Once again manifesting this as the summer of my chemical romance comes to an end lol @coolzonemedia.bsky.social

Unbelievable that Michigan is trying to pass a porn ban, meanwhile, I grew up in the era of reading smutty fanfic like it was a full-time job on the family computer

“My brain came from god, not a lizard” fine, then. god gave you a lizard brain.

Has anyone talked about Truman Show by Kid Cudi sounds like it could be played at goth night? It’s def got some NIN influence.

Honestly if i was wrestling Thekla and she started doing that upside down crab walk at me I’d probably get so scared and I’d have a panic attack

Trying so hard to manage my ED, and with this climate, it’s becoming increasingly complex. I’m trying to take care of myself and work on my fitness, and it’s getting really stressful, and I find myself having breakdowns about how I look frequently. I literally almost bailed on MCR bc of my body

The song 1965 is what happens when young people grow up listening to early Lana, watch Priscilla, and get inspired to write some commentary on that era without having the slightest idea how to create media that properly satirizes that era, or even have the skills to romanticize it

Hotter Than July is more than just a party — but, let’s be real, it is a party too! 🌈 We’re holding space for Black LGBTQ+ pride and more in Detroit: Learn about mayoral candidates, test your Detroit knowledge at trivia night or pedal through gardens. How are you showing up this week?

Watching Comedy Central in the middle of the day and the only ad is for a testosterone supplement for aging men. I really love when they’re mask off about who’s watching that station during lunch lol

They call it an “Entertainment Reporter” job. Then they mark it as “internship.” And then they break the news in the end: it’s unpaid. I’m so sick of this industry and its shameless, entitled legitimization of free labor. OUR SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, AND EXPERTISE ARE NOT WORTHLESS.

“How do I get a goth gf??” Idk be normal and respectful. Try actually embracing and involving yourself in the subculture and build a social circle and get to know people and maybe date? Jfc. I don’t care if you believe you aren’t fetishizing someone, you are inherently fetishizing

Save me frozen coffee

City club is hosting an event that’s selling influencers clothes and I’m intrigued? I can’t fathom what the price points would look like for these pieces and on top of it being all the same shit influencers wear.

Proof of life from northern Michigan (I can’t wait to go back to the city)

open.spotify.com/track/34rHaz... ESA and I have the next song for your happiness 🫀

Hungover and I want a hotdog

And you will know me by the sound of my jewelry jingling everywhere I walk ( just bought a new bracelet and it’s my favorite piece I have rn)

Put on some glitter and shake your ass. It’s not rocket science.

All these young folks are obsessed with indie sleaze and recreating it. We’re living through it again, we have a recession, party music, and everyone is stressed out. The problem is that young folks are afraid of relationships and sexuality as it pertains to embracing party culture.

When I die, send my body to the Macy’s return desk. I'm sorry, the fit wasn’t quite right. Go ahead and put the points on my card. Thanks, and have a good one!

I used to work for a record label, and it’s been over three years since I’ve done anything for them, and I got a messenger notif that I was removed from one of the band's GCs that hasn’t been updated since Halloween ‘22. Lmao Jfc

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Finally made a letterboxd account. Follow me so we can argue about film- tinatlking

I’ve been sick for over two weeks and all I got today was waking up to the US bombing Iran and a stomach ache

Spent a weekend at a 40k tournament and all I got was a room in a corridor that was resident evil irl and a summer flu

'Nitzer Ebb riffed on the disco of Sylvester, as well as the unrestrained nature of the Birthday Party and the darkness of Bauhaus. Theirs was a body music that took aim at the geezers who wanted to fight them on a Saturday night.' Remembering #DouglasMcCarthy, Son of Essex buff.ly/X0EVqql

I spent the afternoon talking to an OF creator and sex counselors for an article I’m writing, and I honestly haven’t felt this inspired in a while. I can’t wait to finish this piece and show it off. I have a good feeling about it

The album cover is satire. It’s a joke about “high-value men” and the role women play in this new ultra-conservative anti-sex movement in the US. It’s not literal degradation; it’s social commentary. Get your heads in straight and use your brains

Detroit, there’s a call for protestors to come out to 477 Michigan Avenue, immigrants coming to appointments are being arrested and removed, Asemblea Popular put out the call, if you can get down there they are asking for bodies

My interview and review of The Birthday Massacre is live on Outburn! Check it out now🖤

This is 10-12 tenure-track assistant professors’ salaries at many places. A whole academic program’s worth of money, pissed away, In Times of Austerity, on rent-a-cops going after students who dared speak. Nobody behind this should have a career.

My dad’s favorite joke is calling every chubby animal “Slim,” and I laugh every time. I guess we’re both a little stupid

It’s not Pride until my ex-gf messages me to tell me she misses me.

Dreams dashed and destroyed now that it’s official Rep isn’t getting re-recorded

Movement Music Festival returned to Hart Plaza for three days of techno, house, hip-hop, and more.

Dreamt that I was out and loudly asked “who is playing tool right now and why are you actively trying to ruin my day” and then the dog woke me up, so Hazel was communicating with me through dreams

Babysitting my parents dog for the night and before my dad leaves he turns to me and says “don’t throw any keggers while we’re gone”. Good to know he thinks I have enough friends and resources to throw a house party

Trying to decide if I want to write an essay about turning 30 and posting it to my patreon, but it’s like does anyone actually care? Does anyone care what a woman has to say about aging?

Obsessed with the use of ketamine therapy in secret lives of Mormon wives. Truly everyone’s first resort

Awake at what cost?

Small pleasures of life also include watching him mow the lawn while I sit outside and have a cigarette

Queen of dead eyed selfies

they are literal segregationists apnews.com/article/scho...

I saw Detroiters arguing about the term “ghetto tech” (coined by Detroit native DJ Godfather) which makes me wonder about the use of the term and its implications within the techno scene. As we come up to DEMF/ Movement weekend I feel like this discussion is going worth considering.
