But using JLo as a comparison is lols.  JLo has access to – and uses – the most up to date anti-aging technology from botox to creams to cryotreatment to lasers to the photograph they’re using of her is retouched.  She is artificially young-looking.  I’ve seen the unretouched photos of her.  She looks every year of 50.

A lot of it is aesthetics.  Post-1960s youth culture is the dominant driver and the dominant aesthetic.  The 15 year old doesn’t look old; she looks like a 15 year old in a fashion we associate with older people.

The other big thing other than we arrest aging in general is pollution.  Our air quality is so so much better than it was mid-20th century – or late 19th century – it’s not even a comparison.  London’s smog used to be so bad visibility was 20 feet, people used to walk into the wrong front door, and acid rain ate everything.  You can still see the effects of acid rain in what trees and plants were used in landscaping that are still around today.  We don’t used leaded gasoline, we have filters on our cars, our coal plants are not right in our cities, we have regulation on pollution.

And poverty and smoking.

Plus fashion used to be “look like an adult” and now it’s “look like you’re barely 20.”

But also, like Squee said, Botox, Photoshop, makeup.

I’ve barely seen anything on tumblr about the blackout in Washington DC

There’s been radio silence from the city since 1am local time, tweets about it are being deleting and suppressed

the #dcblackout hashtag was spread by bots and then a bunch of accounts were hacked and tweeted a bunch of copy-pasted tweets to cause even more suspicion

a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity

brooklyn bail fund

minnesota freedom fund

atlanta action network

columbus freedom fund

louisville community bail fund

chicago bond

black visions collective

richmond community bail fund

the bail project inc

nw com bail fund

philadelphia bail fund

the korchhinski-parquet family gofundme

george floyd’s family gofundme

turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. let it play on loop whether you’re listening or not. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere. but let. it. play.

youtube will donate to blm for you.

I have no experience with this strategy, but as I’ve seen more than one comment there with the same advice I’d assume this is true about YouTube’s algorithm

me using tumblr costing yahoo a billion dollars: 

because “pussy” is the shortened form of the word “pusillanimous”, which means “timid, cowardly”
