me, with tears in my eyes: time to make a joke

i knew this australian girl last year and when talking about aboriginals she was all “they need to get over it australia was colonised and civilised by white people and aboriginals are lucky to live here” but she would straight up cry about sharks like “i just can’t bELIEVE we cull sharks even though the ocean is THEIR home and has been since before we started wading about in it!! we don’t own the ocean! we go into their space and then KILL them just for existing….in their OWN habitat!!! it makes me sick” 

it’s really true that white ppl are more readily able to empathise w animals than w POC …..mess

It’s this kind of broad generalization that antagonizes your allies.

If your status as an ally to POC is conditional upon us tiptoeing around you and always picking our words in case you take it personally and get offended by it then guess what….you’re not an ally. Your feelings are not our priority and it is the epitome of white privilege for you to expect them to be.

i have to tell you something that will lower your entire opinion of me

when i was 12 i made flyers for my fanfiction and handed them out a train station

im blown away by the sheer confidence this act required. if anything my opinion has been raised. the poise. the fearlessness. the laughing in the face of death. i’m speechless

i just realised that in less than five years’ time, it’s going to be twenty years since mean girls (2004) was released, and teens will look at it the way i looked at movies from the 80s and i think i kind of want to die a little
