The Quiet Part

AI Art, Endless Wars, and Conservative Radicalism are defining a new era of Punk, Counter-Culture music. Feels like the Bush era all over again, but instead of Green Day we've got Jesse Welles, and Hayley Williams of Paramore leading the fight. Incredible stuff in a dark fuckin time.

Lowkey one of the best anti-authoritarian protests I've documented so far. Speaking with one of the organizers from Jewish Voices for Peace (Antizionist Jewish group) was exceptionally humbling. Then only like 20 minutes later one of their speakers was interrupted by some Nazi gotcha-"journalist" dude who was PROMPTLY protected by the police while protestors chanted "A-C-A-B" not more than 30 feet away. Also Captain America was there. Pretty based.

Fascism is on the rise, and the rich should be on the menu. But...? How did inhumanely wealthy people like Elon Musk, and Donald Trump come in to power, and what does that have to do with a decades-old Supreme Court case?

In a time where dystopia feels less like a setting for writing fiction, and more like an average part of daily life, new ideas like Solarpunk are so extraordinarily worth learning about. But, more than an escape, what if Solarpunk could be real..? And how would we and the world need to change in order to make that happen?

I miss when "Supervillains" had to be ridiculously, almost comedically evil in our stories to make sense. Now that's just real life, and it sucks.

The singular thing I remember doing on Tumblr 10 years ago was posting my shitty film and digital photography. Guess some things never change.

God, I'm glad this hairstyle is done for. This video was a real one, and carried a sentiment that lasts through to this day for me. A fundamental part of how public schools in the U.S. work is that they operate on a social contract. One that places the rights, and freedoms of students, and teachers, BELOW the "smooth operation" of school buildings. It's some I've always found horribly unjust, and wanted to speak about loudly for others to hear.

TheQuietPart has a Tumblr blog thingy, now! Yippee! I know that literally, actually nobody will see this because, well, I haven't linked it on my channel yet. So, effectively I'm talking into the void right now. But, it'd be weird if there was really nothing here when everyone takes a look. So. Hi.

Okay, here goes. First post to a Tumblr in...? 10 years or so? And it's my oldest (and cringiest) video. Check it out.
