“They’re terrified of their own brutality and need to use women as a buffer.”

Some people love to say that empires last only 250 years, and America is now 250 years old and thus doomed to fall. These people are liars or fools.

it still blows my mind that more women than men have HIV, and most of the time men infected innocent women who had no way of protecting themselves against it

The discourse and discussion around women wearing wigs almost always centers around BW. It’s bizarre considering BW aren’t the primary or only group of women wearing human hair, they’re heavily over represented in media only wearing them so often, along with all the harmful and disgusting stereotypes and beliefs around BW and their mere existence. Many orthodox Jewish women wear human hair to conceal their natural hair, a lot of white women get extensions and wear wigs, like most white female celebrities wear extensions and wigs ffs. Sabrina Carpenter wears wigs, and apparently some of her fans were shocked by this. See how WW VS BW are treated when they wear wigs, the bias is so obvious and direct. Some WW even get curly perms to alter their natural hair to make it appear with waves or curls. It’s also popular in SK for some women to get curly perms, but they’re more subtle and don’t desire to have super thick or coily looking curls. And seeing so many dumbass white ppl insist that it’s “Caucasian” hair when BW wear human hair, is so mind boggling. They don’t even know that hair is primarily sourced from indigenous and Asian women. Why do so many white ppl think straight hair equates to white ppl? The reasons they prefer those hair types (Asian women and indigenous women mostly in Peru, Brazilian, Ecuador etc.) is because it’s thick, very versatile and long. I am fully aware of the ethical practices of sourcing the hair, and honestly I wish no woman felt compelled to wear hair that isn’t her own. Regardless of the reason, other than maybe having a medical issue or dealing with chemo therapy and losing your hair. I would love to post more and talk about this cause hair has always been important in virtually every culture and society, especially if you’re a black or brown woman. I also recognize why a lot of BW prefer to only ever wear wigs, it’s never about it being just a choice existing in its own vacuum.

A skyscraper under construction/renovation in midtown manhattan nearly collapsed yesterday due to a major structural failure. that's not funny at all, of course, but what the spokesman for the developer had to say about it kinda is:

the typical construction mishap:

i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af
