As a Seattleite and a life-long Macklemore fan, I couldn’t agree with your analysis more. Another shady things Macklemore did in his song is to throw Ukrainians under the ~bus~ _russian bombs_, for a catchy bar.

I came for thoughts on the Kendrick vs Drake beef. I’m staying for the discussion of critical thinking skills and proper strategy. Another excellent video.

I thoroughly appreciate your critical thinking on this. I wish critical thinking as a default response was more common when it matters most, like with this topic. Ive had to distance myself from conversations recently with my more emotionally charged decision making friends who are more aligned with messaging like Macklemore. Acting without planning is so dangerous and will lead to even more disastrous results than whatever their feelings are leading them to decide. Your take on this is validating. Everyone's feelings are valid, but their emotional decision making is unacceptable at this time. Thank you for speaking truth our loud.

She’s done it again folks!! This is another important lesson. Thank you so much for this. Hopefully more people will learn to get out of their feelings when they don’t matter 💕 SN it’s hard to have conversations with overly emotional people.

I also came for your beef thoughts and am loving the thoughtfulness of your content. You are the only person I’ve seen critically look at Macklemore’s actions because too many people are focused on the gesture and not the harm he’s doing. I appreciate him speaking up (use that privilege for something), but I can’t take him seriously when he has a pattern of doing things that ensure he gets praised. It’s giving white savior, not genuineness.

I have the same thoughts about people who refuse to vote because "they don't feel represented". Feeling represented by a candidate or party is the ideal/on paper version of democracy. We're not exactly living in ideal times now are we? As voters, all we really get to do is vote for "do we pull the trolley's lever?". We don't choose what or who's about to get hit on each track. And in this case, not voting can have disastrous consequences for the entire world.

This is back 2 back 2016. My father-in-law passed away 2 yrs ago, and for two years before, I could tell he was tired, wanting to rest but he didn’t feel his children were ready, a couple were floundering and making poor decisions for their old dad to save them from. He wasn’t perfect but it was better when he was alive. I saw Biden on TV and he looked like a man who wanted an EZ chair, but at this late stage what choice does he have? We are close to a 2016 repeat with no one to blame but our Democratic selves if he isn’t re-elected. Looking back Hilary Clinton would have been a good choice, considering we wouldn’t have the SCOTUS issues we have now if not for our collective choice then. And let’s be clear, I say our choice because Dems could have changed that outcome. The repercussions of not not electing Biden can mean: We end up in the same place as an authoritarian regime, and “saving” 🇵🇸 anyone will be backseat to saving ourselves. We end up slowly cooked, so slow we don’t feel the heat till it’s too late to jump out the pot (I think we are almost there now)

Im really not interested in politics at all. For the sake of my mental I try not to pay too much attention tbh. But the sheer fuckery of recent times has been making it where i cant avoid it lol. The whole "lesser of two evils" dilemma that weve found ourselves in repeatedly is disheartening and not ideal, but at the end of the day, it's inescapable afaik. This is the reality we have to deal with.

There are so many obvious truths. Like the politicos believe we are so very stupid. And if not stupid, then busy. And if not busy, then confused. And if not confused, then absorbed in our phones. The tail keeps wagging the dog. And if we don't take a moment to ground ourselves, achieve some clarity, and understand the stakes of this game, then the next time we look up, it will be January 2025, and it will be far too late.
