If you’re white and/or a yankee and feel so guilt-ridden by the crimes of white supremacy and empire that you feel the need to be in the notes/asks telling nonwhite and/or nonUS folks you want to kill yourself specifically due to it, either go out John Brown style doing something about it or STFU and stop expecting those you have privilege over to coddle your immense guilt holy shit.

I agree with almost everything you're saying, I just have to point out that you misread that last one a little. When they said its a dice roll, it seems like you interpreted it as it will change your sexuality, but that's not what was said. They were saying that it can change your sexuality, which it can. It also might not. Both can happen, and it is good to be aware of that.

Its in the packet they give you, that it can do that.

sorry but realistically it can some degree change what you perceive as attractive. Its a huge change in your endocrine system and physical and sexual attraction are partly also based on this. Will this "drastically change" your sexuality: probably not unless you let it. Will it change what you find attractive in other people: maybe?

Thats also what I mean that "The Reservation" in a settlers mind is like this weird alternate reality & almost not a real place, they think its a singular, weird place. Like Silent Hill or something. There's settlers that either think that Reservations were "reparations" for Native American genocide (they're not, they're both a product & tool of the genocide) and/or that Native Americans specifically chose to segregate ourselves there & "The Reservation" is this awful place where we choose our own misery & the bad stuff that happens there. And it can all be fixed by just not living there. And if we still face racism or addiction problems etc then its still our fault, & they completely divorce all the issues on Reservations as entirely seperate things that happened because Native Americans are bad people who make bad choices & not the reality that they're the after effects of living through our own apocalypse

it's actually crazy like kind of unbelievable how much racism ppl just expect you to put up with to be polite. like i have so many little experiences where a friend-of-a-friend said something awful and racist to me and i am very clearly hurt and upset and then the friend just expects me to be polite and not say anything not react not even be angry. like when ur not white ur never allowed to be angry. if ur angry ur being too aggressive. you never get to expect an apology, either. expecting an apology for the racist way people hurt you is always asking too much. you never get an apology. you never get to be angry. you never get to say it hurt you. you're just supposed to pretend you didn't hear it, didn't read it, didn't notice. you let things go because it's the only way to have friends.

it's so comical to me how much people on this website of a certain shall we say Level of Pallor are constantly retweeting puff posts about how Racism Bad and We Must Support Black Artists but when push comes to shove and a mirror is put in front of them to reveal that they may or may not have some unchecked antiblack biases that affect the way they interact (or don't interact) with black art and talk to black people and react to their equally alabaster faves doing racist shit all of a sudden it's "well actually" and "b-b-b-but". and by 'comical' i mean I Am Going To Fucking Hurt You

you european crackers should be focused on making amends with the saami/roma/indigenous communities in your countries instead of fixing your mouths to be racist to brown/black americans

nothing’s more revealing than when an artist draws humanizations for a large group of things — like “here’s all the elements as anime girls” or “here’s anthro versions of all the starter pokemon” — and every single one of them is skinny. like it just immediately signals that the artist does not draw fat people or even consider the existence fat people when designing characters. ten or more character designs and they all have the exact same body type. if i saw a group of people like that in real life i would assume that they are just so rancid about fat people that they do not have any fat friends, and/or that they’re literally a cult

If you're european don't think you get a pass either. Your system of governance benefits from the same blood. Your socialized healthcare is funded by the same bombs. Start caring about the crimes you benefit from.

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

all the babies in those baby youtube video memes. humanized character posts. like. its the little innocent shit. and like, the people making those baby memes probably arent seeking out white babies. maybe theyre just easier to find. but why are they easier to find? a complicated question, surely... but you know what it probably comes down to. someone, somewhere, maybe a lot of someones in a lot of places, made a choice. maybe knowingly, maybe not. but they made a choice. it starts to make you feel like a conspiracy theorist!!

its really funny that after 2 months this post is still making racists come into my askbox treating me like im a horrible person for pointing out that sometimes people of color are excluded from things in visible and offputting ways. cry about it

someone should give me 400 dollars so i can repair my computer i hate being disabled and making like No money and it BROKE from a power surge

hi beloved tumblr. im still in need here. im a disabled trans girl who's often unwillingly mostly housebound and working from home and i use my pc and programming as a way to self-regulate and Not Having That has done a huge number on my mental health. luckily, the DDR5 ram escaped unscathed (i was able to test), but the system needs a new Everything Else. if you can help me, i will love you for ever and ever. while i do work fulltime, i live in South Africa and my salary translates to less than 600 usd :/

"The new animal farm is just what a rich liberal thinks about our society " okay so thats because the original story is like that as well

When Orwell was alive, he worked for both the British imperial army in his youth, and for the cia later in his life. To act like he is not hilariously biased when it comes to the subject of communism and socialism is just plain revisionism of his life and the society that surrounded him. He wasn't a progressive writer, and this must be taken into mind when analyzing his work.
