Pro-Tip: If you'd like for your diaspora-born child to be fluent in your language, don't shame them for speaking your language with the local accent of wherever they were raised

skaianbruja

And don't let others shame them either, including your own fucking relatives, especially if it's some monolingual fuck doing the shaming

skaianbruja

My notes are full of tags from diaspora folks talking about how they gave up learning their heritage language after being shamed for their accents by their own parents or other relatives. The same thing happened to me, and I know how awful it feels

For parents who live in a country where the dominant language is different from your native language: I would like you to please keep in mind that shaming your child for their accent doesn't always look like overtly making fun of them. Sometimes it look like telling them not to speak in public at all when visiting the motherland in order to not get charged tourist prices (This one happened to me, and now that I'm an adult, I've realized just how fucking insane it was. Like what do you mean my mother told me to not speak Spanish in public in Mexico just because she didn't want to pay an extra fucking dollar???????)

I've also seen a couple of tags mentioning phonemes, so I want to add something that should've been fucking obvious but apparently not: Children often cannot pronounce many of the phonemes that adults can. For example in English, children often cannot pronounce their L's and R's, often substituting them with W's. (Or Y's in the case of L) instead. Making fun of your child for not being able to correctly certain phonemes is loser behavior. And even if your child is at an age where they should be able to pronounce said phonemes correctly, they still won't know how if nobody ever fucking taught them!

Incredibly violent take of mine but I actually don’t think you need to relate to a story in any way to enjoy it. You can enjoy a story even if you can’t point at a character and insert some aspect of your personality or identity into them. In fact I would argue the need for a character like that to be present in every single story you experience is a sign of stunted growth.

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.

(this post is about putting all your time, energy, and care into one relationship, about staking all your happiness on a romantic relationship, effectively making the entirety of your joy and stability dependent on one person who could exit your life for any number of reasons no matter how great the relationship seems. it’s about the societal expectation to build your entire social life around one long term relationship, putting all your eggs in that basket, so to speak, instead of tending to larger social network and maintaining a variety of strong connections so that even if one very important relationship comes to an end, you won’t be losing your whole social life in one fell swoop.)

Have you heard of the YouTuber Zay Dupree, he does linguistics and sociology mainly https://m.youtube.com/@zay_dupree/shorts?ra=m

linguistics and such @zaydupree everywhere else

Okay that is who I thought it was! Yes I've heard of him! Tbh, this is who everyone should look up every time they have an "is this AAVE" question for me, because he's actually got the background depth to discuss it!

It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.

jackawful

to this day "who is allowed to be angry" has been an incredible benchmark for teasing out who, in abusive situations with mutual accusations and DARVO happening, is being abusive and who is being abused. one of my favorite resources about this, the Creative Interventions Toolkit, phrases the question "who sets the weather?" in the relationship and I think about it so so often when I think about my own childhood. I was parentified in a way that set me up for future abusive relationships, because I had to soothe my parents' anger while not being allowed to feel angry myself. I am extremely grateful to everyone outside myself - friends, therapists, partners - who's gotten angry on my behalf about how I'm treated or let me know something I'd been excusing or blaming myself for was actually Not Okay. I guess the good news here is that it's possible to learn how to access anger again in a healthy way, it just takes support, like doing physical therapy for a muscle that didn't develop quite right.

draconym

I relate so strongly to this.

This is not to say that feeling anger is abusive; it's human to feel anger. But if you've ever felt like your anger was "unjustified" or were afraid to express it outwardly because you expected it to be dismissed ... ask yourself how you would react if the roles were reversed. I find that a lot of folks who were The Grown Up in a relationship with their parents hold themselves to much different standards than they hold other people.

I've seen plenty of situations that involve two or more people hurting each other and not admitting any fault because they want to protect their own egos. But. Notice when you think you're not entitled to be upset about something. When someone tells you you shouldn't be upset. There's a difference between taking your anger out on other people and just. Being allowed to feel angry.

This map shows the scale of proposed data centres in Scotland. The Action to Protect Rural Scotland group have a ton of information on their website.

Scotland is in a weird position where we’re apparently an endless viable resource for renewable electricity and attractive for data centres but the people living here are paying some of the highest electricity prices in Europe.

I will never take serious or pity the Great Replacement fears of white people, no matter how "academically" or "accurately" they put it.

Ain't no way my people had to survive the complete and purposeful destruction of our own cultures to be assimilated into one Color and slave class, to create and be stolen from and erased from our own creations to this day, every day. Ain't no way Native Americans were genocided in every way possible and are still fighting the good fight to maintain their cultural norms and practices.

Ain't no way we survive ALLA DAT... And I'm supposed to take someone seriously because they think not seeing white people in their media or in their governments, as if we haven't seen them everywhere all the time by force, means they're being culturally and physically eradicated as a people. Shut the fuck up 🤣 "multiculturalism" and it just means "I will consume you and you will allow me to do so, but there will be no real cultural exchange".
