Transcript: It reminds me of the “bike to work” movement. That is also portrayed as white, but in my city more than half of the people on bike are not white. I was once talking to a white activist who was photographic “bike commuters” and had only pictures of white people with the occasional “Black professional” I asked her why she didn’t photograph the delivery people, construction workers etc… id. the Black and [Latine] and Asian people… and she mumbled something about trying to “improve the image of biking” then admitted that she didn’t really see them as part of the “green movement” since they “probably have no choice” - I was so mad I wanted to quit working on the project she and I were collaborating on. So, in the same way when people in a poor neighborhood grow food in their yards… it’s just being poor- but when white people do it they are saving the earth or something.“ -comment left on the Racialious blog post “Sustainable Food and Privilege: Why is Green always White (and Male and Upper-Class) (via meggannn).

the same thing when you look at the ~tiny house movement~ versus, say, people living in trailers, or even just renting in apartments or sublet housing

WAIT Kaos parodying Eon’s “Greetings, Portal Master” speech at the beginning of SuperChargers implies that he’s heard Eon’s narration at the beginning of every game.

Since i’ve seen a couple people getting some flack for working w/ and drawing LGBTQ+ couples and headcanons, just wanna make sure everyone who likes my stuff knows that I do work w/ LGBTQ+ characters/stories/headcanons. If you don’t want to see that, feel free to not interact with my stuff!

I know it's tough for everyone but please, please be extra nice and patient with little kids right now. they're going through so much, we're not going to understand the amount of worldwide trauma these kids have for years, but for context: a five year old who has memories only from the age of three has spent HALF their conscious life under quarantine. they haven't interacted with other kids in person. they've only seen people with masks. they've spent all this time in a home with distressed adults and little stability without truly understanding why. for a massive chunk of their conscious life. so if a kid comes up and talks to you just let them have your attention for a few minutes. don't snap at a child crying or having a meltdown in public, and don't make the parent feel guilty. it's not that difficult to be kind.

God, this. One of my good friends had a baby about six months before quarantine started in our area, and my friends are trying really hard to make sure they expose their kid to live-action media with real people's faces, because their kid doesn't know who people are the way most babies of that age would in non-pandemic conditions. This baby's only been around their parents and the pediatrician for a significant chunk of their entire life at this point.
