Regular Reminder That While Hozier Has Amazing Love Songs, He Is ALSO Very Outspoken About His Leftist

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

Listen I understand that Boris Pavilkovsky is a troubled kid and not a particularly good person, but I will never understand why Donna Tart felt the need to have him say the n-word. Explicitly. Multiple times. Never adressed.

Humanized Crymini! Aa you can see, I've chosen to HC her as Irish, French, and Guatemalan, as well as being bisexual. I've also interperted some of her markings as scars, as well as adding a few other scars. Her purple pin says: Punks Not Ded U R

And I didn't include this in the art, but I also HC her being autistic and having BPD and CPTSD

Girls when they think about how Kubo's mother couldn't walk so she dragged herself to him and how Camila Noceda gave Vee all the love she had even after she lied to her pretending to be Luz and how Moro knew she was dying and planned to use the last of her strength to kill Lady Eboshi but threw all that away when she saw her daughter in danger and how Ursa protected Zuko believing she would never see him again and when Sally stayed with an abusive man to protect Percy and then they remember their own mother saying "I am trying to love you!"

When I was a kid we had a big box collection of scholastic videos and in every video you would be reada story and shown it through animation that kept the art style of the original picture book.

There's one in particular that I keep thinking about but can't remember the name of. It's about an old woman with a cat who adopts a dog. The cat is immediately very jealous and tries to get rid of the dog. Eventually they succeed, but upon the dog's disappearance the old woman becomes depressed (or sick, I hardly remember) and refuses to leave her bed. She keeps asking where the dog is and the cat brings him back, having learned that the old woman's happiness is more important than their pride.

I'm hoping against all hope that someone else is familiar with this story and can tell me the name. I don't think I'll know rest until then.
