I don’t think I have ever seen a dog show straight up unabashed disgust to anything.

I want THIS movie

I’m CRYING AND WHEEZING

This post is going to take a turn.

I said this to a guy one time and he was immediately turned away

wow

YOOOO why this make me so emotional????

FUCK. I’ve done this exercise before, but it’s been factors like “if you’re male”, “if you’re able-bodied”, etc. Putting it in these terms is somehow more powerful because it shows the consequences of those kinds of privileges. And then when he says, “None of these statements have anything to do with anything any of you have done” … ugh, I started crying. It’s like the “It’s not your fault” scene; as kids we internalize all this shit as somehow our fault. And the looks on the faces on the guys in back. Fuck.

I have done this several times. The privilege walk is something that puts SOO much into perspective for people. At every leadership retreat in college I have done this. “If you have a mental disability” is one that’s heard. “If you are not heterosexual” is another. There are so many factors to privilege and being able to recognize your own is step one. Step two is acknowledging that others don’t have it as good as you. Step three is trying to actively level the playing field if you have the UNFAIR advantage. I say unfair because if I study and someone else doesn’t and they get into a good school because mom or dad donated, that’s unfair. RECOGNIZE YOU PRIVILEGE

I mean I certainly remember getting yelled at for not going back to turn off the computer once it was finally done shutting down.

Why you gotta hurt me like this
