hi i’m brenna

preemptively censoring "Nazi" and "third Reich" on US TikTok so musk can do a fucking Nazi salute during the inauguration (TWICE!) on live TV and people can't search it or have to find workarounds? yea..

the american gov unintentionally fighting sinophobia by having americans do cross cultural exchange out of spite was not on my 2025 bingo card

“tik tok is brainrot I’m glad it’s getting deleted” YOU are ignoring an early warning sign of fascism bc silly dances and asmr annoys u. tik tok ban is a part of a MUCH bigger bill that indicates any foreign app, if deemed a threat, can be banned if the owner does not sell it. aka the government is mad bc they cannot censor & their capitalist puppet masters are mad they aren’t making money from it. and if ur ok w that……hm

I genuinely haven't laughed so hard in months, but because people found out that the CEO of meta gave bribes to the government both in cash and stocks to ban TikTok, people are fleeing in droves to Rednote which is the actual Chinese version of TikTok AND leaving meta! He didn't lose users to TikTok but now that he's playing ringmaster to be funny, he's finding out the clowns can be fucking hilarious! Anyways, I'm now learning Mandarin, and I can't figure out why I can't change my profile pic but it's a rubber ducky so I'm cool with it.

just because I understand doesn't mean that I agree

At some point in my childhood someone quoted, "You've gotta know the rules to break them," at me and I took it to heart
