*TECHNOBABBLE*

Deep sigh. You want me to ~be compassionate~ here's the compassionate answer: your trauma will tell you you're a helpless child forever and you need to Not Think This Way for yourself (living under the assumption you're still in danger whether you actually are or not) and everyone else who has to tiptoe around your Sensitivity. That's how you break the cycle and you can only do this by accepting responsibility for your actions. And it seems like a small semantic thing but imo step one is calling yourself a survivor instead of a victim. Self identifying with your victimhood helps No One. You lived, now get up

Been getting a lot of people throwing up Indigenous folks at me like shields to excuse antiblackness and it's like. Knock it off. We both out here going through shit and should be allies. And you- likely not an Indigenous person yourself- are throwing them up as if to say I can't talk about anything because "well what about" yes well you see numerous things happen all at once in this so called life.

I hate it when people do this, and its so disingenuous because like. There's racism towards every ethnicity within every ethnicity. There's a LOT of antiblackness in Native communities, and there's Native targeted racism within Black communities. Neither is acceptable. Some (SOME!) Black people being racist towards Indigenous people doesn't suddenly make antiblackness okay. You cannot base your anti racist ideology on "well I can/should be able to do THIS because there's racism targeting x people in that community" because that's not antiracism and if you do this, you don't actually care about racism. And people using Indigenous people as some kind of "gotcha" do not care about racism. Indigenous people can fucking see what you're doing, and we can tell you don't actually give a shit about us, so don't pretend like you do. And outside of that, Black Americans are Indigenous too!

They don't tell you this but besides the Beloved Mutual there's also the Longterm Follower who you don't follow back but they're always in your notes and you're kind of watching them. Checking on the longterm follower's bio every so often like turning over a log. She's trans now good for her

Longterm followers I am putting fresh leaves and hrt in your enclosure

who else is up permanently feeling like they did something Wrong

ACAB includes defense contractors and their employees

Like if you are the one making or designing the rubber bullets and robot dogs and canisters of tear gas and all the other bullshit cops use to brutalize communities, there is a special place in hell for you
