Nephthys is Here

For France to hate Black people and immigrants, they sure do have a bunch on their World Cup team 👀 for the planet to dislike Black people as deeply as they do, as soon as it's time for major sports events, suddenly everybody sure can find a couple of us to represent 👀

Abusers and creeps are not some species of especially heinous animal or alien or monster wearing the face of a human. They're people. And you NEED to drill it into your head that they are people because you NEED to remember that people are capable of doingn heinous shit. And you are a person. And your loved ones are people.

Like, wow, wouldn't it be horrific if white women were treated merely as bodies to be used? Wouldn't it be horrific if they were raped, if they had their children taken from them, if they weren't allowed to read or write, if they were hanged and abused, if they were treated as sexual objects...

So number 1: why do we need a distant dystopian future to imagine something that has happened and is still happening? and number 2: why did it have to be a white woman before you empathized? I mean, we all know, but. Not to mention there being zero Black people or even a non-Black person of color in the novel.

This can be applied to lots of different dystopia fiction too. The fact that the protagonist has to be a white person for the horror to set in for the audience when what is happening to them is something white people have perpetuated on Black people is so insidious.

(Highly recommend Medical Apartheid to your followers who might not have picked it up btw and to join the book club. Extremely important read, and the author (Harriet Washington) is brilliant at constructing her arguments.)

This is racism.

One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.

And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.

“I have something important to tell you but can’t message u pls message me ” - accidentally reported you scam

“I love your story and want to illustrate it dm me at discord” - commissioner scam

“I saw your post looking for artists to draw (x) and would love to draw it it sounds like a lovely idea and im an artist” - commissioner scammer who DM’d you when you didn’t ask

“Did you send me this link for free tumblr premium?” - accidentally reported you scam

The next time anyone sends me anything that someone said about me or relevant to me (e.g. this latest situation with the racist and her Dubbed White Knight) involving antiblackness, and you aren't asking me a question...

If the next part about it isn't about YOU saying something in response to said problem BEFORE telling me, I don't want to hear it. I'm tired of being told about things that mistreat me or my community in whispers, because you have no intention to do anything about it, but want to see something done. This isn't TV, this isn't entertainment.

If YOU don't care enough to speak up about it, if YOU are frightened of the social consequences, don't assume that I'M immediately going to be the attack dog and do so for you. That's not you being an ally. That's you sending me into a place where you know I'll be alone and unsafe. Being an ally means getting out of your comfort zone and DOING something about the injustice you're witnessing. Otherwise... You're just asking for validation at my sacrifice.
