my brain at 3 am: elton john spent the majority of his life feeling depressed and lonely and fully believing he’ll never find real love and happiness but then he got help and got sober and then he met his wonderful husband and now they have two beautiful children, which seemed impossible to him not so long ago, and he’s still making music with his best friend of 50 years and he’s a living legend and he’s the happiest he’s ever been at 72 years-old and he’s proof that it’s never too late to turn your life around and learn to love yourself and he just gives me so much hope an-
A bit of trivia for you: when Elton John – then performing under the name Reg Dwight – was at his lowest, he was talked out of committing suicide by a friend named “Long John” Baldry. When he later changed his name to Elton John, he chose his surname
– John –
in Baldry’s honour.
Baldry was himself a successful musician, but he also had a side gig as a cartoon voice actor. Though you might recognise his voice as KOMPLEX from Bucky O’Hare or Captain Capacitor from ReBoot, perhaps his best known turn was the voice of Doctor Robotnik in various Sonic the Hegehog animated media, a role he played until he passed away in 2005.
Which means that every time you watch a YouTube poop, you’re listening to the voice that saved Elton John’s life.
Galaxy-brained terf: Hmm, how curious, OP…all TERFs are women…and you want TERFs to shut up…so you despise and want to silence all women huh, you fascist pig. I am very intelligent.
Every terf in the notes:
OOGA BOOGA, MIGHTY VULVA!
I’ve seen the notes on this post and just want to reassure every TERF that so far I’ve read literally none of your essays.
fascists, neo-nazis and the alt right absolutely fucking HATE it when they fail and are mocked for it. It completely destroys what credibility they have, makes their followers feel doubt about their cause, makes potential recruits turn the other way from the second-hand embarassment, and makes lone wolf wannabe spree killers seriously consider if its even worth it if they’re just going to be mocked in death by the people they hate and by their comrades. Thats why throwing milk shakes or punching popular racists is so effective in anti-fascist tactics
Mock the Dallas shooter to your heart’s content. Make fun of his stupid obsession with ancient Rome and his decision to bring a gladius. Make fun of his shitty gear including his airsoft rifle dot scope, light armor, fucked up strap, duct tape, and unlaced boots. Make fun of him for owning a Kekistani flag and posting incel 4chan memes on facebook. Make fun of the fact he skipped an anime convention for this only to fire a couple times at a door before being blown away by security. Make his death and any wannabe racist martyr look as embarassing as possible
