EULOGY

in college a teacher explained that criticizing gentrification wasn’t about shaming or blaming the white people that were most likely living in the only apartments they could afford - it was about asking why their living there was inherently valuable. it’s not really about who - it’s about why. why white lives are literally valued more. why is the presence of white people a gentrifying force? what is it about whiteness that elicits immediate value? 

And if you look up the stages of gentrification, it usually goes like "artists and teachers and etc move into this neighborhood because its what they can afford" and THEN "developers notice these people and try to capitalize on them."

And as soon as the landlords and developers figure they can increase prices because it’s a white neighborhood now, the artists and teachers and such can’t afford to live there anymore and have to move out.

I hate working for a living and I love looking at images on screens

“free Palestine” and “don’t use what’s happening to Palestinians as an excuse to spread anti-Semitism” can and should co-exist

spreading hate to jewish people as a response to the actions of the israeli government isn’t woke, it just makes you anti-semitic. you can be critical of the israeli government and not be anti-semitic

As a Palestinian, honestly, a ton of non-Palestinians join the movement as an excuse to be antisemitic and I DON'T WANT Y'ALL SPEAKING FOR ME.

No, we lived in the blessed timeline, because the creator of a harmless webcomic character that got turned into a meme sued the shit out of neo-nazis for appropriating his art and using it to recruit kids to their fucked up ideology.

Damn these were simpler times

Kendall Jenner could never >_>
