gay clout

my brain:

As a result of the no-Zoom nonsense AND the refusal to allow Hopkins to pre-record a just-in-case acceptance speech, he was literally asleep when all this went down, on account of it being like 4AM in Wales at the time & the fact that he is in his 80s and iirc the oldest ever Best Actor Oscar Nominee/Winner

Despite all this the first thing he does is record an acceptance video to post on Instagram & the speech was basically, "I'm shocked, I'm grateful, I didn't expect to win anything, but thank you & RIP Chadwick Boseman."

ON TOP OF WHICH,

Soderbergh so clearly expected Chadwick to win that the Academy gift bags for all guests of the Oscars ceremony also included NFTs of Chadwick Boseman valued at something like $1.2mil (iirc guests have to pay taxes on the goodie bags... not sure how that's gonna be negotiated).

To add insult to injury, these environment destroying digital trading cards were made by an artist who bought a $50 3D model of Boseman's head and put a gold texture on top... and the person who sold the $50 3D rendering stole that from a separate artist they'd commissioned on Artstation, and ran off with the files without paying/possibly by doing a chargeback.

as of 22nd April 2021 we have about 16.3M total cases and a death toll of 187K . Only about 1.4% of the population has been fully vaccinated yet.

on top of that, we've been facing a major shortage in oxygen supply (to the point where the govt has decided to airlift oxygen from other nations), a shortage in hospital beds and services. The numbers keep rising and with the spread of the new strain, the scenario has transformed into something deadlier than ever.

our infrastructures are falling apart and we need all the help possible at this very moment so the nation can be atleast saved when there's still a chance. I've already lost two of my friends, a teacher and family to the second wave and I can only imagine how much worse it can get. so i would like to take this opportunity to link in some donation posts below–
