being an artist is really just realising that you've never actually known what anything looks like ever

Yes please we have so many other options and I'll keep bringing more options to the skyline as stores set up their links/listings 🙏 And Weverse US and the US BTS Online Store are always options too, don't forget 💜

And the Kcon performance in question for those curious: youtu.be/vwc5zTayVJw?... (....oh my God you guys it was TEN YEARS AGO holy shit)

Several years ago I decided to figure out where the studio version of Arirang by BTS came from. Was it an edit from the kcon performance? Released somewhere? With the help of ARMY lore keepers, we found the answer. + youtu.be/kWvo8-PJcOc?... #bts #BTS_ARIRANG

This includes third-party ticketing resale sites like StubHub, Seat Geek, Tick Pick, and Vivid Seats. They really prey on ticketing anxiety, especially when it comes to newer fans. 😠 Don't fall for their pressure tactics and false promises!

Damn it, he so would think he's the coolest now and like he always was the coolest but Jungkook got to become the coolest person *to himself* and oh my God my heart can't take that.

on the days you can't find the joy, you can at least take joy in your spite. 💓

Hi, guys! My commissions are open. I'm still paying for my dogs meds from last december, can you share please? 💜

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

🚨 CODE RED 🚨 ICE is going door-to-door downtown Minneapolis by the football stadium. DO NOT open the door for them. Monarca: 612-441-2881 Immigration Law Center Detention Line: 651-641-1011 Warrants labeled "Form I-205" or "Form I-200" are *NOT* judicial warrants.

Ten thousand agitators at once protest location can be dealt with by conventional police tactics. A thousand each at ten locations become close to unmanageable. A hundred each at a hundred locations will overwhelm them. Food for thought.

do the work not because you have to but because that's a life well-lived. live the fuck outta your life. the people we buried would be fucking pissed off if you don't. make art. kill nazis. don't get discouraged. enjoy the sunrise. work hard on this and rest. enjoy being alive. go down swinging.

Girrels, put your boy on spin cycle

I feel I cannot stress enough how 'AI' products serve, intentionally or not, to reestablish the control of a very small group of people over language and expression, a new form of digital boot. One hopes the proliferation of open models may push back on this. Or the Butlerian Jihad. Either way.

lemme tell you as someone who (1) haaaaaates n95s on a sensory level bc they do not play nice w my glasses, and (2) got sick TWICE this season already, both the flu and para-flu this year are NASTY. -6/10 recommend. If I hadn't been vaxxed it would've been even worse 😭 get ur flu shot and mask up!!

“iM A BiT Of a cOnSeRvAtIvE PeRsOn”— ALL MEN DO IS LIEEEEEE

PSA: It’s not too late to get your flu shot, as the record-breaking flu season will continue for several months. While this year’s shot is not a perfect match for the current strain, it will still reduce your chances of getting infected and help protect you from getting seriously ill. Do it now!

I constantly forget this exists and it is such a good tool.

Boyfriend went & picked up my meds for me the other day and didn't message me ONCE for any of the verification info (legal name, DOB, current address, etc.), because he already knew it or had it saved on his phone. AND he brought home the OTC pills I asked for w/ the right active ingredients. 😍

“Then they shouldn’t have voted for this!” Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

Some people think science is just for nerds, but science is the foundation of the modern world and science is what made America great. Even though many of us don’t work directly in space science, we were inspired to become scientists by NASA. Destroying it makes zero sense.

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

If you see items in a black box like this on the Amazon app (presumably similar on desktop), do NOT use Amazon to purchase. Go to the artist's site directly to see what they actually have, buy more easily, and not support this garbage concept that big corps can scrape whatever they want.

bangtan coming back as God intended: with cryptic ass circles to confuse the fuck out of us all 🙂‍↕️

I absolutely adored this one, sapphics and science are a 💯😩👌🤌 combo

This. This whole thread. It's so important to keep that in mind.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

ICYMI: Striking Starbucks workers are protesting at two of the company's giant distribution centers, which service both the east and west coasts. Wherever Starbucks is, our picket lines will be there, too! ✊ #NoContractNoCoffee

The US State Department plans to demand visitors from the EU, Japan, Britain etc submit 5 YEARS of social media, DNA samples, 10 years of work & personal email addresses. THE most important thing to know? US citizens have until February 9, 2025 to submit public comments! Short URL: is.gd/DfVM5M

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

OT7, and all the different unit shots! Such a good Friday morning present!

veneration and control of the body is a classical fascist project it's part and parcel in the make-believe that bad things happen to bad people, and we're good, and also we won't die hitler & the nazi party were "crunchy" and today's austrian-german crunchiness is descended from this

Link to the US Federal Registry for the submitted filing: www.federalregister.gov/public-inspe... to submit comments email: [email protected] and include in the subject line OMB Control Number 1651-0111. Emails must be in English and must be submitted no later than February 9, 2026

Never underestimate the power of being an insufferably huge pain in your enemy's ass.

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him? That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

heartening to see tae continuing on his mission of Dat Ass

All this is especially egregious given how expensive nice clothes have gotten!! Bt fast fashion & enshitification, even mediocre clothes are $$$ now & they don't even last. Unless u have the time & skill for either thrifting or sewing, how tf are average people supposed to afford dressing nice?!?

It hits different when they're arresting white women. They signed up to terrorize Black and brown people.
