they should have made another search engine called Ask Wooster where it gives you the wrong answer every time
Well not exactly the wrong answer, just a jaunty, hopeful and well-intentioned answer that offers a pleasant journey but takes you in the wrong direction

one of my classic texts, from the archives
So I made a joke a few days ago about not expecting a Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen protest song in 2026, but the fact that he did it is really important. This is because, to a large amount of Boomers - specifically in the Midwest and South - The Boss is the de facto morally correct songwriter, his works not focusing on sex and drugs and rock and roll but instead on issues themes can better relate to like poverty (The River, Atlantic City, Born to Run) and the feeling that life has passed you by (Glory Days). Thus, the Boss throwing in with the protests across the country signals, to his boomer fanbase, that the protests are morally right.
He does this mostly by framing the protests as a conflict between freedom-loving protestors and jackbooted thugs over the soul of America and by painting ICE's victims as martyrs who were killed for no reason and whose names must not be forgotten. Then he pairs the idea of fighting for the soul of America and these newfound martyrs with protecting immigrants and continuing resistance (the refrain of the song is "We'll make our stand for this land/And the strangers in our midst").
This song is also the most overtly political and contemporary of his works. While his most famous song, "Born in the USA," is a critique of how the US military exploited the working class by shipping them off to Vietnam and left them broken and abandoned after their return told through the eyes of a victim of this exploitation, its catchy refrain was enough to give Conservatives a chance to claim the song as patriotic, but his new anthem, "Streets of Minneapolis," does not and is, instead, nakedly and starky about what its about.
Also, it fucking slaps (and every protest movement needs an anthem) and it's making a bunch of Conservatives pissed off cuz they assumed he was on their side
feel the need to correct the record a bit, because Bruce has been making and covering protest songs for basically his entire career, and has made a TON in the last 30 years.
in 2001, he released 41 Shots (American Skin), a song protesting police brutality and police killings of unarmed Black people, specifically in response to the Amadou Diallo case.
his 2007 album Magic has anti-Iraq War protest songs like Last To Die (which takes its title and lyrics from a speech John Kerry made against the Vietnam War) and Long Walk Home.
his album, The Seeger Sessions covers civil rights protest songs like O Mary Don’t You Weep, Eyes on the Prize, and We Shall Overcome
he’s even touched in immigration rights before, with American Land, We Are Alive, Sinaloa Cowboys, Balboa Park and Across the Border (the last three were released in 1995, on an album called The Ghost of Tom Joad, which also includes songs about economic inequality, in the title track and Youngstown, themes he also touched on in the album Wrecking Ball)
like, with respect, anyone on the left OR the right who’s surprised that Bruce Springsteen wrote a protest song about ICE atrocities in Minneapolis hasn’t been paying attention to at least the last 30 years of Bruce’s career

i'm breaking the author's silence to address these tags directly, because i've seen similar responses a few times. your context is part of you. you like your favorite band because you found them somehow. you speak the languages you speak because somebody else taught you. you feel the way you feel because you have memories and experiences. shaving off pieces of yourself will not reveal a truth at the center, and will only make you feel less like a person worth being. you will never shed your context or influences, anymore than you will ever become younger or undrink a glass of water. but you are free to create as much additional context as you like. build yourself outward instead of digging for yourself at the center. trying 100 new things will give you 100 more data points on what you like, don't like, think, believe, feel. it might begin to reveal an image of yourself that you can recognize, respect, and love. your life is not an object to be kept clean, it is an ongoing action that you get to control. also that's starlight glimmer not rarity.
People on Tumblr love sharing information about themselves no matter how asinine it is. And I'm the same way. Everybody tell me what the last thing you drank was.
idk why people are still trying to do "hear me out"s on tumblr
you could talk about wanting to fuck the space needle on here and people would still call you a poser for insisting on fucking "conventionally attractive architecture" as if that's a coherent, easily-recognizable category
I want to fuck Antoni Gaudi's unbuilt Hotel Attraction skyscraper design
"hear me out" and it's a picture of the most fuckable building you've ever seen. c'mon now.
if you vote me for president i vow to make everything the ocean again. no more land only ocean. this will solve all of our problems and replace them with new, far more interesting problems

What you should know
Mamdani administration has secured more than $8.5M in restitution since taking office
[Note: To be clear, that's just between January 2026 and March 2026.]
...over YouTube Live while eating a Crunchwrap Supreme, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced the filing of an enforcement petition against QSR Management LLC, a Dunkin’ franchisee that operates locations in Staten Island, seeking monetary relief for workers and civil penalties. The petition alleges that QSR Management LLC and managing corporate officer Ronny Nader violated the rights of approximately 1,000 workers under the Fair Workweek Law and Protected Time Off Law. The Mamdani Administration also announced settlements with two companies that will provide more than 830 workers with more than $1.8 million to resolve violations of the Fair Workweek Law. In addition to restitution, Dunkin’ & Taco Bell franchisee Salz Management LLC and premium fashion retailer Theory will pay more than $176,000 in civil penalties and costs... “Today’s settlements are about more than financial compensation for working New Yorkers —though that relief matters. At their core, these actions are about restoring dignity on the job. Every worker deserves a predictable schedule — something stable enough to plan a life around, to care for family, to show up for the people who depend on them,” said Mayor Mamdani. “This city will not tolerate any corporation or franchisee that violates our Fair Workweek laws, or any of the labor protections that workers fought for and won. We will keep enforcing those laws, so that every New Yorker knows their rights and can count on this city to defend them.” ... The Mamdani Administration is urging all workers who believe their rights have been violated to file a complaint by visiting nyc.gov/workers or by calling 311. Since Jan. 1, 2026, the Administration has secured more than $8.5 million in restitution for New York City workers, including more than $500,000 for freelancers ripped off by production company Splashlight and nearly $5 million for Uber Eats, Fantuan and HungryPanda delivery workers.
