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

i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights

Imagine if a like 8 foot tall guy that looked kinda like an alien species just kinda showed up at the house you rent a room in and crashed on the couch and at first everyone hated him but you kinda just accepted this weird massive kinda-human alien species thing as a part of your group even though he's like twice the size of everyone else there

Cuz that's literally happening to sea lions in San Francisco right now

Isn’t it kind of fun how when your life sucks you just can’t talk about it with anyone

I’m serious though. When your life reaches a degree of suckage, you find yourself having to look elsewhere for anything at all to talk about. The things going on in your life are trauma dumping. Your past is probably also trauma dumping. So you have to get really weird about specific things or hope that others want to talk to you, because very quickly people are going to develop an aversion to you and the way your life sucks. Unless you just don’t talk about it

Make sure you don't accidentally punish people for communicating their needs and boundaries. When someone cares enough to have the uncomfortable conversation, that's a compliment and a clear sign that they are invested in the relationship. Yes of course it's uncomfortable to hear that something you've been doing has been upsetting someone you care about when that was never your intention, but people generally only bother to have these conversations with the people they want to keep around - the people they trust to care. If they just didn't like you, they'd probably just try to avoid you. So make sure you don't make it into a more punishing experience than it has to be. Try to see the care and the trust behind the criticism, even when it triggers uncomfortable emotions. It's a good sign that they're there telling you.

just gonna reblog this forever because i love fat people and we deserve fuckin basic human dignity and respect regardless of our weight

It's so fucking infuriating that Trump can make a post comparing transgender people to domestic terrorists and say "we will find you and we will kill you" (verbatim) and aaaaall the news articles in the entire world are busy debating whether he REALLY meant to say that or if its being taken out of CONTEXT or if it can LEGALLY be CONSTRUED as a threat. And meanwhile our actual sisters are being murdered in real time for the crime of *checks notes* doing laundry in public. When will these chucklefucks wake up and realize you're wasting time debating his intentions and all the while the only thing he gives a shit about is whether his most loyal worshippers realize he's just greenlit our public genocide?

I loooooove getting rejected. People should reject more. It's the "maybes" and ghosting that's just like too much. A firm but polite "no" is infinitely more respectful of everyone's time and feelings. Can we just do that?

You guys know this is a pretty normal human want and not a special accomdation to be saved for people with autism right?

that family who runs the local foreign cuisine restaurant you enjoy, they struggled a lot getting a visa to stay in your country. they had to wait for years, learn an entirely different language to be taken even a little serious, even then their accents were mocked. could you do it? move to an entirely different place with no proper money on you, learn an entirely different language and wait 10 years to be considered a citizen, a person? have your accent and personhood mocked as you do? you'd have to do it, if you woke up one day and your purchase power had fell by %400, only to fall further, if you woke up and your street, your home was bombed to pieces. that family wanted a better life for their kids, and they regularly have to see news of little kids like their own getting murdered by people of your country. do you think that's what they prefer? do you not think they maybe would've preferred to live in their homeland where thats not a worry, where they won't struggle with language, where all their family and friends were, where their children should've been safe, where they'd be considered human? but they had no choice, because your country and their allies ruined their country to pieces, bombed it, assaulted it, raped it. and here they are now, their "better" chance at a safer life being serving in the country of their assaulters and offering you a piece of the home they had to leave. they consier themselves among the lucky ones who weren't killed trying to come here, who could at least get a visa to be considered semi human. you should be kind to them, but don't think your kindness makes up for the tragedy
