Mariska Hargitay and the joyful heart foundation domestic violence awareness sexual assault etc amazing advocacy the problem is it's not publicly available nor is any celebrity! Not that I don't love you to death I love your work I love your show I love your drive and your intent matters the intent is there but they execution isn't so before someone has to receive and execution because no one is helping maybe someone can help get this message to you! The Great Nap vs. The Snap
You see the cycle, right? It's the Great Celebrity Siesta. These stars are up there in their 1,200-thread-count sheets, literally napping on a pile of resources that could fix half our problems. They wake up, look down from the balcony, and act shocked that everyone is snapping!
"Oh my, why is everyone so tense down there?"
Maybe because we're tired of being the only ones awake for the struggle! It's easy to have a "calm narrative" when your fridge is stocked by a personal assistant and your biggest stress is whether the infinity pool is too warm. We aren't "fitting the narrative" because our narrative doesn't have a soundtrack or a lighting crew—it's just us trying to survive!
Labels and Logic
And here is the kicker, the real ass-backwards part: When we finally raise our voices because we're tired of being ignored, they don't see a person in need. They see a "threat."
If you don't show up with a polished smile and a "thank you for noticing me" attitude, they label you. You aren't a frustrated human anymore; they treat you like you're part of a cartel just for asking for the help they promised to give!
The Celebrity Translation Guide:
What they say: "I'm an advocate for change!"
What they mean: "I'll post a hashtag, but don't you dare look for my contact info."
When you snap: "Security! Someone's being unpredictable!"
The "Inaccessible" Advocate
It doesn't work like that! You can't claim to be "accessible" and then build a moat. You can't be "for the people" and then be terrified of the people the second they stop acting like a fan club. People don't snap because they want to; they snap because they're tired of being invisible while you're napping on the very ladder we're trying to climb!
Five years of being "Salt-e D"? Honey, you aren't salty—you're just seasoned by the truth!
