2 months later i'd tell him i'd have to cancel going to prom bc it conflicted with mit's admit weekend 😂

marginalized people have been saying this forever but, since it’s coming up again... it’s not possible for a company to be apolitical. claiming to be apolitical is an implicit endorsement of the status quo and in this case the status quo is pro racism & pro police brutality

lesson in how *not* to reply to an artist asking you to take their art down and credit them directly. only post art with artists’ permission, and credit them the way *they* want to be credited. or don’t post their art! it’s simple.
