whateverthebeeswant:

I haven’t seen a ton of stuff on Tumblr about the Astroworld fatalities, which is awful because it was such a tragic disaster and people in power are trying very, very hard to sweep it under the rug (see this removed video). It’s also being grossly misinterpreted.

I refuse to believe that Astroworld demonstrates that we are all animals at heart or that celebrity culture corrupted every person. First, this was not a stampede– it was a crowd crush. Someone in a crowd crush has no idea what is happening towards the front and is helpless to move. Crowd crushes are largely the fault of poor crowd organizing/management. Some of the people in the crowd were assholes– those who stormed the gates, danced on ambulances, etc. Most of them were just caught up in a press of bodies.

Travis Scott is not an innocent party here. He encouraged fans storming the gates and has been charged twice before in 2015 and 2017 for inciting hysteria at his shows. He encouraged violence against a kid in 2015 while crowd-surfing for allegedly trying to steal his shoe and at another show told fans to jump from a balcony– fans later suffered serious injuries. He encouraged fans to flip off security trying to break up to the crowd and get to injured people. He has a history of being awful to security. I hate cops as much as anyone, but security guards aren’t cops. They’re just some guys who are getting paid a shit wage to prevent people from getting hurt. You’re not standing up to the “man” by being a dick to security at a concert any more than you would be for getting tossed out of a bar by a bouncer for being drunk and disorderly. You’re just being an asshole.

Travis Scott encourages people to “rage” at his shows with no care for the consequences. Well, that’s just a mosh pit, right? Except, punk/heavy metal shows are famouslyfocused on a sense of community and social responsibility. There have literally been scientific studies that demonstrate how focused heavy metal fans are on helping people who fall during shows. However, if you co-opt the goal of a mosh pit as a stress-reliever and/or a way to release anger without the rules of etiquette or citizenship, then you might be Travis Scott you’ve created an incredibly dangerous situation.

Travis Scott saw an ambulance trying to get through and he didn’t stop playing.He saw a fan’s lifeless body being carried away and he didn’t stop playing. There is no way he couldn’t have heard the crowd chanting to stop. This is not normal behavior. Side note: Here are some examples of responsible examples of crowd control behavior from artists who stopped their shows to stop people from getting hurt in no particular order that I found on Reddit in no particular order: Adele, ASAP Rocky,Avenge Sevenfold,The Killers,Red Hot Chili Peppers,Rage Against the Machine,KSI,MCR,this entire compilation).

These artists aren’t heroes. They just know that crowd crushes have happened before and are practicing basic human decency.

And there werepeople who tried to help. If you haven’t seen the video of the girl who climbed up on a camera platform or read her account, it’s brutal, terrifying stuff. People were chanting to stop the show.ThisICU nurse tried to help and documented the severely undetrained staff. Concertgoers did their best to pull others to safety, but the people who were in charge simply did not care.

Remember how when Squid Game came out and people who completely missed the point were talking about how it showed that people were awful and would turn on each other? It’s a similar situation here. There were some assholes, but ultimately Travis Scott simply does not care about his fans. He’s built his brand on being mysterious and edgy– he doesn’t care who dies for him. And that’s the story, not the entirety of the crowd, but one out-of-touch millionaire celebrity who doesn’t care.

Card Reading

Answers for @marisk

Hi, welcome back for your second card reading. Sit or lay down, wherever you feel most comfortable, and don’t hesitate to drink lots of water, to make sure you rinse out any old beliefs and connect with the new ones.

I asked my spirit guides and angels to help bring you guidance on whether you have chosen the right path in life? To let any messages that you need to hear come through. To help you stay strong in your own power and to rely on the guidance you receive, and to trust that it is for the highest and the best.

Dear Angels, do you have a message for this loving soul?

First came Silence and then came Sun.

Silence is a source of great strength. It is a reminder to not waste your words on people who deserve your silence. They want you to know that: “Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing at all.”

Know that the intention with this message not necessarily is for you to keep your words hidden away, but rather for you to find acceptance and peace in not relying upon the support of others, but finding strength in your own support towards your self and the dreams you have.

Sun is a source of light and warmth, but mostly life. There is a sun within every person. You are invited to cherish every sunset and turn your face to the sun and let the shadows fall behind you.

In this message I see that if you trust the universe and face the sun, you will see that the path you are on is right for you and all the old feelings, the shadows, are behind you.

I am being called to tell you that everything in this world is FOR YOU, and I want you to remember this. If you feel like the universe is against you, sit down, relax and take a deep breath. You can sit for 10 seconds or 10 minutes, time has nothing to say. Imagine this waterfall over your head, but instead of water it is bright white light pouring over you and filling you up all the way down to your feet, and just keep chanting the words: “I have trust, I have faith, it is for me.”

I asked the Spirit Animal Oracles for any advice they would have for you. Again the Wombat Spirit was here for you.

The Wombat Spirit reminds you that to truly be at home in the world, you need to find comfort in your own skin. Home sweet home is always available if you recognize that wellbeing is the truth of life. Right now you are in a beautiful place where you can hang up the coat of your identity and settle in to a true sense of home and wellbeing, understanding that all is well. Everything you do from this place rings true in harmony with the Spirit.

“Could it be that you are not feeling comfortable in your own skin, thinking that the only way you can be with others is to hide under the protection of a mask or identity you created to protect yourself from getting hurt?”

The Wombat Spirit arrives to nudge you to drop the false masks because it is not others who will hurt you now. It is you who are hurting yourself when you aren’t being authentic.

I really feel like this will resonate very well with you, please correct me if I’m wrong. But you have been hurting yourself more by doing something that was not meant for you. It did not come from a place of love and passion, but you have begun to feel the freedom to be yourself by changing your profession. Now you can begin to truly feel at home in your life, with your family and tribe. Acceptance is the key that will unlock your true home inside of you. With deep honesty and love of life, you can accept all your experience with judgement and be free from the stress of old habits and beliefs.

At last I asked the Starseed Oracles if they had any message for you to help you fully become free and trust the universe?

Star Family appears to tell you that you are part of a team of souls, and to call in support. At some stage, we were each a part of a soul cluster - a gathering of souls who broke away from one other to experience themselves individually. Those who are part of your soul cluster are part of your star family. You haven’t just experienced lifetimes together, but your souls were once actually one.

The Star Family appears because it is likely that you have met someone who is part of your star family, or you are about to. You know that someone is part of your star family when you feel like you know and remember them from the moment you meet. Instantly, they will feel familiar and comfortable. When you are with them you feel more yourself than with anyone else and time both passes quickly and stretches when being with them. The Star Family invites you to think about the people in your life.

You are being called to ask yourself: “Who do you think is from the same star family as you? Who do you feel is part of your star family? How can you call upon them for support?”

I hope this gave you some guidance on the path you’re currently on in your life. It seems to me that you have been on a crossroad, standing with one leg on each side. Either you could choose the easy way, the one you are kinda scared of, but it feels safe and sound at the same time, or you could choose the hard way, the one you are comfortable with, but the one where you will constantly stumble and struggle to stay on. “Why wouldn’t you choose the easy way? Why keep fighting a battle you are destined to lose, or loosing yourself in the win?”

I want you to rinse out all the beliefs that you have of always having to work harder, to never choose easy over difficult, and to keep climbing higher up the ladder. Instead I will install new codes and beliefs in you that says: “It is more than okay to work just enough to get by, to choose the easy way, and to stay where you are on the ladder or even jump off the ladder and create your own path in life.”

Love, Astrologyatlas

Some things someone noticed about Gemini girls♊

Do you have Gemini brain or just an average human brain

Where all my Gemini babies at?♊

So, I’m a full on grizzly bear

Watch out! I might be difficult to get away from

January 10th, 2020

Full Wolf Moon in Capricorn and Lunar Eclipse.

Meaning: The sensitive waters of Cancer. A lunar eclipse is a powerful full moon phase, but the emotional meaning of the January 2020 lunar eclipse revolves around moon-ruled themes such as home, family, and your inner foundation. We will never experience an eclipse like this one again. The sky is supercharged with celestial energies, and the tension building up toward Saturn’s meet-up with powerful Pluto.

Good for: Letting go as opposed to starting something new. Full moons bring culminations and with a stellium of planets hovering over Capricorn, this will likely revolve around traditions.

Bad for: It can be a lot to take in and can result in a low energy level.

Cancer:Sensitive. Governed by Mother Moon, and the moon is a symbol of your inner world; it’s who you are when no one’s around.

Capricorn:Governed by serious Saturn, planet of limits and structures.

Emotional meaning: The moon will oppose the sun, Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn. It is a very powerful energy and the beginning of a brand-new chapter and energetic shift. Capricorn is equivalent to your physical foundation, and Saturn and Pluto are in the process of destroying those outdated ways of thinking. These energies will likely shed light on the areas you’ve mentally and spiritually outgrown. The most challenging part about this is, you may not feel ready to let go of whatever’s been weighing down on you. However, the universe is always working in your favor, so surrender to it and have faith.

What’s to come: The Saturn-Pluto conjunction on January 12th 2020.

Gemini:*HAHAHA*

Also Gemini: *Idk what you’re saying*

Actually Gemini: *being deaf on purpose*

Gemini:*having trust issues*
