Okay but using Karen for the betterment of others is a genius move I never could have seen coming

Be the good Karen you want to see in the world

Care-n

reblogging for the pun

there are care-ns and then there are care-n’ts

all i do is sit and think about imaginary but extremely detailed romantic scenarios

Reason #1000 why we need Muppet Dracula: To see Miss Piggy as Mina getting super into vampiric seduction by Uncle Deadly as Dracula until she realizes he’s the one who tormented Kermit as Jonathan at which point she just fucking punts him through the window.

Also Gonzo as Renfield enjoying himself too much.

…and right here is why you see me starting to wear non-viking garb in the SCA. Because I’m really REALLY white and really REALLY not a racist, and I hate that these people have found their way into my weekend nerdery.

I would posit that if you feel comfortable doing it, and if you feel supported, you should definitely still wear viking garb and not let fascist nazi bastards appropriate it for their own purpose without opposition. 🖤

Make fascists afraid to be vocal. Run them out and counteract their evil with overwhelming good. Make donations to charities that help people of colour under the public name and honour of Odin and Freya and Frigg and Thor. Shout louder than they do. I see a lot of fascism and disgusting vitriol in the comments section on videos from wardruna or heidlung - and something I’d like to do is reupload those videos with the express intent of curating the comments section heavily to keep that shit out. Most accounts won’t do that and they don’t notice how much hate is in their fan base. so I get really angry about these people taking music and culture that is expressly open and for everyone to pollute it in this way. If you know anyone personally that uploads videos to YouTube please remind them to curate that shit, report the bastards. Make statements that it’s not okay. Even one small platform is too one too many.

capitalism didn’t “commodify rebellion and call it punk rock”; punk was built by the working class as a pushback against the family values and the rise of the moral majority in the 60s and 70s. punk bands used to wear docs onstage as a sign of solidarity with the factory workers and farmers; the only folks who used to wear docs back then. what capitalism did was compress the ideology of punk into generalized anger against older generations, retaining none of the nuance or politics that it was built on. hot topic is commodified punk. the idea that you have to buy punk clothes is commodified punk
