racism isn't about the racists or white allies (or their "guilt"). racism is about the victims of that racism. when a victim of racism speaks about racism, it's your turn to listen. and, if they want you to, empathize

the color of your skin has nothing to do with whatever you're about to say. if you're going to empathize, do it. if you're frustrated for them, then say that. you will not have to spell it out to them if you're a good ally or not. they will know

do not shame yourself, your race or anyone else as a response to hearing about racism. it is not about you. it is not about racists. shame the racists! call them out! but stop saying it to the victims!!! it's performative at best

you are not "one of the good ones" for not being racist. that is normal.

bitch you’re looking too

NO you absolutely WANT your PLASTIC SURGERY procedures to be done by a PLASTIC SURGEON.

As in someone who is specifically trained in it and does it every day.

Someone who is not specifically trained in pleasing cosmetic results and not actively practicing pleasing cosmetic results is how you get horrifying cosmetic results

The "plastic" in "plastic surgeon" did not get here to mean "cheap and fake."

Plastic, the word, predates plastic, the material. The material was named for its noteworthy quality.

"Plastic" means "shapeable." Workable, moldable, malleable, et cetera.

When the first reconstructive surgeries were being pioneered in the 19th century, working absolute miracles like restoring whole faces to girls and women who'd caught fire tending to their kitchen stoves, among a multitude of other devastating conditions, it was this miraculous reshaping that gave the surgery its name: plastic surgery, the shaping surgery.

Time passes, and plastic, the material, is developed, and goes from fantastic modern wonder material to byword for cheap imitation; plastic, the surgery, expands from reconstruction to aesthetic finicking, Barbie is introduced with her unrealistically-proportioned plastic body, and the phrase "plastic surgery" goes from indicating "the reshaping surgery (what a marvelous thing)" to "the fake face/fake tits/fake nose surgery (how vulgar and deceitful)."

Same phrase. Entirely different connotation.

Just sayin'.
