certified disaster

some of you need to understand that people from the global south criticizing imperialism and the problems they suffer from as consequences of it's existence isn't invalidating the struggles marginalized communities in the imperial core have to go through

pointing out that citizens of the imperial core have privileges that come as a direct result of the oppression of the third world isn't denying that those same citizens can also be victims of the imperial core. these ideas can and do coexist

actually why is it so hard for all of you to understand this cause it's a very simple concept. it's literally just intersectionality. we say "gay men are prejudiced for being gay but still have privilege due to being men" and no one bats an eye but if you point out "hey even if you're marginalized in the US that still doesn't take away from the fact you benefit from imperialism just by virtue of living there" and suddenly all fucking hell breaks loose

when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.

queer imperialist yankees have done irrepairable damage to the global lgbtq movement its insane

I don’t even know how to explain to my fellow Muslims that queer people are normal when you’ve got IOF murderers flaunting the rainbow flag over the ruins of Gaza.

Where's it made? Who brought it here? How much were they paid? Who makes it? Is it made in separate parts and put together? How much were they all paid to do this? Where do they get the materials? Who paid for that? Who brings it there? How much were they paid? Who streamlined the base materials? How much were they paid? Who gathered the base materials? Where? How much were they paid? Is it good for them? Is it good for us? Is it good for the land? Is it necessary? Is it biodegradable? How much does it hurt? Do I need it? Do I even want it?

Some of yall will be like Omg I love this character <33 and then be talking about a bastardization of that character so extreme that is now just your oc with the same name

I did not write this to be a "Haha everyone does that its so funny" thing I wrote it to try and make some of you realize that while headcanons can be fun when you get to a point where your interpretation of a character is entirely unrecognizable from the original just make an oc what is the point of trying to claim its that character. Also so many of you just straight up are playing into racial stereotypes when you do this like you Seriously need to think of how you're interacting with characters of color and which characters you're headcanoning as poc. So many of you play into the mammy stereotype or the unemotional/hypersexualized asian sterotypes without even fucking realizing it and I'm sick of seeing it. Could yall take two seconds to think critically about how you're interacting with characters because it doesn't matter if you're playing into racist caricatures unintentionally its still racism.

we have to start running a massive PSA campaign to young gay people so everyone understands there is a difference between being a dom and being a top and between being a sub and being a bottom. and also that sometimes you are neither a sub nor a bottom and you're just like shy. we need to be handing out flyers we need ads at every train station spreading the word

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.

I want you guys to all start making a bigger stink about Tumblr's Age Verification Horseshit.
