the iof tortured a palestinian baby infront of his father. a fucking toddler.

As a disabled kid, I noticed and came to loathe the cultural belief that kids are "lazy" and "trying to get out of things" in general. Treating kids with suspicion and distrust only makes them less trustworthy.

Ok but when you say "restorative justice" do you mean "hegemonic power structures need to provide ways for people who've done bad things to reintegrate into society" or do you mean "you, personally, someone with no hegemonic power whatsoever, need to keep forgiving people who've hurt you forever" because those are like. Pretty different.

Do you mean community as in "broad coalition of people united by some shared material interests" or do you mean "Discord server"

pick up that non-fiction book

"representation matters!" but you wont read or engage with non-fiction works about any demographic outside your own

this version of the post doesnt seem to be getting much traction but this is arguably the most important reason why we should be reading nonfiction in addition to fiction

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

out of all the famous rapists that nobody talks abt the 1 thats annoying me the most rn is neil degrasse tyson did you know that when he was in graduate school for astronomy he drugged and raped the only other black student in the department & she ended up quitting the field ? if you look at her instagram 1 of her stories highlights is called sexual assault & she says she does miss being a scientist & working on her research project but that shes glad shes a musician now. shes also into some weird spirituality stuff which puts neils reddit atheist shtick into a whole new perspective ...... he has 3 more allegations under his belt btw & 2 of those women are scientists themselves & the other 1 quit working on his fucken astronomy documentary series bc of him like i genuinely do not understand how he still gets to call himself a science educator & brag abt how hes getting more people interested in astronomy when he keeps sexually assaulting scientists & 2 people have already quit the field because of him like explain it to me like im five

happy juneteenth but dont forget that prisoners are legally allowed to be subject to slave labor and also black people are disproportionately arrested and subjected to that legality. happy juneteenth but slavery still lives in america. america is still dependant on slave labor.

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa

It's seriously fucked up that there's no way to speak frankly with a professional about suicidal thoughts without the looming threat of involuntary institutionalization and, by extension, psychiatric abuse. How, exactly, are suicidal people supposed to be aided in not feeling suicidal if they aren't allowed to safely express it through what are supposed to be the appropriate channels?

Just to clarify: this isn't just about my page specifically. I mean this as a whole. On your own pages too. Black people can see when you post bad artwork of Black characters publicly. If you knew you didn't feel like putting in the effort to respectfully depict our Blackness, don't post it 🤷🏾‍♀️ or don't get upset when someone notices it and says something about it.
