petition to make Earth Wind & Fire the new September meme instead of mocking the Greenday guy for mourning his dad
Pros: Funky beats, a classic late â70s R&B soul jam, it perks me up when Iâm depressed as fuck, and also you wonât be tweeting relentlessly âreminder to wake upâ at a guy who wrote a song about his fatherâs death
Cons:Â for the rest of the year youâll have âBAAAA DEEE YAAAA DEE YAAAA DEEE YAAAAAAAAA, BAAAAA DEEE YAAAA DEE YAAA DEE YAAAAAAâ stuck in your head, which imo is a fair trade off
PLUS!!!!!
It was, by far, THE FUNNIEST (imo) Duck Army soundtrack. A video of the Vine I saw is proving to be elusive, but Iâll edit with a video if I find it!
This is one of the best stories we read in a long time. An arborist AKA a tree caretaker and tree surgeon from Redondo Beach, California had to watch the death of one of his favorite trees, which was ordered by the mayor. Although he lost a great battle, he won the war. Find out how he avenged the death of his 30-year-old pepper tree named Clyde.
His story was recently shared online and has already been shared over 150k times. RIP Clyde.

Hi so Iâm the âdream girlâ from this post and I just want to let everyone know that the artist used REAL people from our school without permission, these are actual depictions of other REAL freshman WHO DONâT EVEN K N O W HER. I donât identify as a girl, but thatâs not the only thing that makes me incredibly uncomfortable, itâs the attention to detail while in the same breath saying in this post that this isnât me or any of my other friends:
This is such a backpedaling lie because there isnât another person who likes like me on campus- itâs a small tiny private college EVERYONE knows each other- everyone has been showing this post to me, and again this was posted without anyoneâs knowledge who was used.Â
ALSO I AM IN HER FILM CLASS AND I DONâT IDENTIFY AS A GIRLÂ that was made up. there isnât a single other person who that can be. More proof:
I was going to let go the fact that I was misgendered because she doesnât KNOW me. But then in her other post she then decided to lie about it instead of owning up to her misgendering me- decided to go âyeah someone else who looks similarâ I know EVERY black kid on campus Iâm the only one with even relatively long hair like this with bangs, even down to my socks and pink shoes. Itâs bizarre and I want people who are sharing this to know that itâs viral on our campus and lotâs of people are weirded out as she used REAL PEOPLE for this meme. DONâT make a joke of your classmates, for example Iâve been stalked and I was shaking thinking of writing this and put it off for so long but 14k notes is fucking insane this is viral here. This is insanely obsessive and disrespectful. It would have been another story if she had asked permission, but she decided to make her classmates into a joke assuming theyâd all go along with it (even though she didnât even TELL anyone afterwords, like 10 people have come to me about this and I HATE it). She also changed her username from luxtempetas after being called out by people of this not being acceptable behavior
The artist did NOT ask for permission to use these people.Â
Hey fellow artists, don’t do things like this. You are not exempt from obtaining consent for this, even if you think they will never see it.
I can think of at least a few relevant torts Mx. Highjinkx et al would be well within their rights to bring to a court. Right of Publicity immediately comes to mind.
Be good, be smart. The cloud of people around you are not your fodder. Use those storytelling tools and fictionalize, amalgamate, transform. Use your powers for good.
