pssst bestie (@ the person who wrote this tags who is NOT miss CBC. do not harrass miss CBC over this comment she did not say it) i know you said this from ignorance and not malice bc you just said yourself that you didn't know what the word is and what it meant but. lets NOT go around calling foreign words "nonsensical slang" okey? SPECIALLY words from latin american versions of european languages. my latinos already get enough bullshit about how they speak from us europeans and the fucking RAE and however the portuguese and french versions are called (booo booo we all hate the real academia española here), they do not need to have non-spanish/portuguese speakers call words from their languages "nonsensical" too

No matter where you live, you can speak up and take action now to protect the coast of California from offshore drilling.

The Trump administration's plan for new offshore oil and gas drilling in federal waters is expected any day. If finalized, drilling could begin off the California coast as soon as next year.

We need you—our Aquarium Tumblr community—to act right now.

📣 California residents: Tell your lawmakers to vote YES on AB 1448—closing loopholes that let old infrastructure fuel new drilling. Submit by August 3.

📣 Everyone: Tell NOAA to keep California's coastal protections strong. NOAA needs to hear from everyone who loves the California coast, no matter where you live. Public comments are due August 22.

Our coast can't wait. Take action now:

The Silly Songs with Larry from that movie is an Elvis parody that sets up the line “You’re no elf! You’re an Elvish impersonator!”

The ones that aren’t young, thin, hairless, conventionally attractive twinks. Let them be feminine too.

You heard me right. Two. White. Women.

Which is fucking insane in itself, but on the first day of class one of the professors was reading an article, written by a black woman…and decided that it was completely acceptable and appropriate to drop the n-word (hard r) and every single person in class was fucking MORTIFIED. Even in the context of education, there was no reason for a white professor to so casually and subtly use that word. (They were called out for it immediately after and profusely apologized)

My point is that covert racism is still racism, and unfortunately it is alive and well.

I also have all of the articles and works saved from this class if anyone would like to do some heavy and necessary reading! I have hard copies, but I’m sure I can find the links for the articles as well.

Just after doing a little research on google, I found these articles to be incredibly helpful on breaking down covert racism, racism, white privilege, etc.

covert racism

systematic racism

racism and health

becoming trustworthy white allies

what is white privilege

books on systematic racism, racial justice, and anti-racism

race equity tools
