What if during the finale Eleanor had been like “THIS is the bad place” and Michael just stared at her completely baffled just like “shit Eleanor I know everything’s not going great but I’m doing my best???”
Sometimes you see a post and just realize there’s some Wild Shit going on in a community you never knew existed
Finally, I understand
THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL POST.
Universal basic income would cause a massive economic boom as people who could previously barely get by decide to buy things like cars and houses and dishwashers and new clothes and employ the services of repair techs at need instead of putting it off indefinitely.
When I started getting $525 a week in extra unemployment at the start of the pandemic, I spent so much money just replacing everything in my apartment that was either irreparably broken or had been driving me crazy for years.
srsly, most poorer or even middle income ppl spend all they get.
Give more money to bezos & co and they’ll just tuck it away in a tax haven or do stock buybacks.
yet unemployment money and welfare are controversial (let alone UBI) while corporare bailouts aren’t, all because of irrational stereotypes.
ancient greek word of the day: κακοθερής (kakotherēs), unfitted to endure summer heat
this literally means “bad at summer” pass it on
jojo siwa is like. her style is not my taste at all but as soon as other people call it annoying im like actually you're wrong she's an icon and a legend
she looks like the concentrated essence of a claires store and i do not mean this negatively
it’s the “fuck you” to the current trend of encouraging teenagers to look 24 and embracing girly things that cis men hate
American Kawaii
she looks like someone turned a Skittles commercial into a person and i love it
If you don’t mind me putting my two cents:
I feel like Jojo Siwa’s style is reminiscent of the colorful teen girl fashion of the late 2000s and early 10s. Back then it was considered fashionable to use lots of colors, accessories, etc. Take a look at Jojo Siwa:
Very colorful, generous with sparkles and accessories. It’s meant to be fun!
If you were a kid in 2007-2012 you saw something similar in the clothing the teens in your sitcoms wore, although not as exaggerated. The fashion in Shake It Up(which came out in 2010) is a really good example of this:
(You may laugh, but this was the height of fashion to 13 year old me.)
The point is, Jojo’s aesthetic is similar to being a young pre teen girl walking into Limited Too for the first time.
And the reason cishet men hate it is because they don’t find it attractive. That’s why she’s often made fun of and used as a joke so much. Because that style doesn’t cater to the male gaze. It’s not for them, so it must be bad.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Jojo Siwa’s engaging with fame in a manner similar to an early 2000s preteen celebrity character and it’s an arguably healthier way to engage with fame and parasocial relationships than what most other celebrities are doing right now
