i love how a lot of queer ppl have the same experience of toning down ur identities/labels for cishet people so tag this what you actually label yourself v.s what you tell cishet people

Hereâs a link to a Google Doc with a bunch of Indigenous organisations which you can donate to, including Black Rainbow (LGBTQIA+ Indigenous organisation) and groups that support incarcerated Aboriginal people and work towards ending Indigenous deaths in custody
This link is getting lots of notes and Iâm just hoping that people are actually clicking and donating and not just passively reblogging
That would be nice
The problem with having lesbian moms is you try to be super cool and cut all your hair off and buy a leather jacket and wear boots all the time and then you go to some event in your neighborhood and all these women three times your age start cooing âoh you look JUST like your mother when she was your age, my gosh what a blast from the past, oh I just love your hairâ
And let me be very clear, okay: Iâve seen pictures of my mom when she was my age, and she looked cooler than I ever will. My mom had exactly my fashion sense except she was two point five degrees butcher and habitually took over government buildings. My other mom was about six degrees butcher than that, and SHE had a motorcycle. Both of them have been charged with felony arson. Iâm the prep member of my family and thereâs nothing I can do about it.
Please tell me at some point in your life some dick was like âweâre calling your parents over your behaviorâ only to have a bigger, more badass version of you come strolling in
Look obviously that happened many many times, usually with misogynist or ableist teachers. But I have a BETTER story than that, which is that when I was in 3rd grade, I went to this tiny alternative hippy schoolâit was a regular public school, it was just small and staffed/run by hippie communistsâand my 3rd grade teacher was a woman who had been in an organization with my mother, and they had done direct action together more than a few times. Weâll call her D. One day I was sitting in Dâs class, eight years old and bored out of my mind, and I scratched my name into the back of my plastic chair with a rock. Was this reasonable behavior? No. Why did I do it? Only the gods can say. I donât actually remember doing the scratching, I just remember looking at the rock in my hand and my name on the chair and going, âHUH. Thatâs not good.â So obviously I got caught, bc I couldnât reasonably convince anyone that I wasnât the one who had done it, since it was MY NAME, and as punishment for this act of arbitrary vandalism I was sentenced to recess detention for two weeks. It was October so this included Halloween. Halloween, to be clear, is a high holy day in San Francisco, and I was devastated to miss the informal festivities that would be occurring at recess that day, and I wept and wailed about this at home for some time until my mother decided that this was disproportionate punishment and took it into her own hands to do something about it.  So my mom walks into Dâs office on a day when my mother does not have to be at work at a scheduled time, but D has to get her students from the yard in about ten minutes, and my mom sits down and says to her old friend and comrade, âMiranda is really upset about having detention on Halloween.â And D explains to my mother why the detention was issued, what the circumstances were, and my mother nods, and listens, and doesnât argue, and doesnât show any sign of getting up from her chair. And just says again âSheâs really upset about having detention on Halloween.â And D looks at my mother, and she looks at the clock in her office, which is telling her that she has to be on the yard in 2 minutes now, and then looks at my mother again, who shows no sign of having anywhere to be, my mother with whom D has organized and successfully executed multiple sit-ins and takeovers of government & corporate offices, and D says, âOkay, she doesnât have to have detention on Halloween.â
Tell your moms that we love them.

An important update!
Africa is being Colonized
AFRICOM is the United States attempt to control the African continent through regime change, drone strikes, espionage, and âdiplomacy.â The purpose is to control Africa and itâs people, and to continue the USâs plundering of Africa. The United States is in Africa steal resources such as oil, diamonds, gold, timber, and more. AFRICOM was also created to discourage African countries from collaborating with communist and socialist countries, primarily China.
What is Africom?
Africom is the âUnited States Africa Command,â a military program started in 2008 to âcounters transnational threats⊠strengthen security forces, and responds to crises in order to advance U.S. national interests and promote regional security, stability, and prosperity.â taken from their website. However, AFRICOM, as explained by Netfa Freeman, âhas put most African nations under the effective military control of the United States. AFRICOM is the re-colonization of Africa by the U.S., with thousands of U.S. troops now stationed in some 30 African countries and dozens of U.S. bases across Africa. The total estimated cost for AFRICOM in 2018 is $236.9 million.â
African leaders as a whole rejected AFRICOM, all the way back in 2007. Despite this, the United States continued their invasion, and now has military bases in an estimated 60 countries.
Why does africom exist?
1. âENDING TERRORISMâ The US claims that theyâre in Africa to end terrorism. However, this is just a cover for the USâs military presence.
In fact, terrorism has increased since AFRICOM started, but the program was never meant to actually help African people. By all standards, the US is the greatest terrorist in the world. As explained by Tunde Osazua, âThe occupation of foreign countries and devastating bombings that the United States has used to achieve its goals in Africa are acts of terror. The U.S. also leverages economic terrorism with the World Bank and IMF to transfer wealth and force austerity measures, and it enforces murderous sanctions on African countries. Al-Shabaab, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and their counterparts cannot come close to the kind of death, destruction, and destabilization that the U.S. has brought about in Africa.â source
2. NEO-COLONIALISM infiltrating states under the guise of âcounter-terrorism,â encouraging capitalistic dictatorships and taking out socialist and communist rules.
This is not the first time the United States has destabilized democratically elected socialist or communist leaders. As early as the 1950s, the US has assassinated and overthrown African leaders. Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana was overthrown in a CIA led coup while he was visiting China. More recently, the United States invaded Somalia in the 1990s, plunging it into the conflict that is still happening now.
3. PREVENT COLLABORATION WITH CHINA prevent China from trading with African countries, and discouraging south-south solidarity
(this racist cartoon)
The view of China giving loans and trading with Africa as predatory is untrue. In truth, Africans on average have a positive or neutral view of China. Portraying Africa as being taken advantage of by China is infantilistic, and also enraging when put in comparison to the United States literally invading, killing, and destabilizing African countries again and again to protect US hegemony. Imagine if China drone bombed one of these countries? We must end the normalization of mindless killing in the global south (as well as the valorization of the US military and veterans).
What is AFRICOM doing now?
Right now, AFRICOM is trying to get the right to drone bomb Kenya to prevent âterrorism.â Even more conservative American news sites like the Washington Post admits is incredibly violent, and will likely cause more unrest. President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya has said that he will not give the US permission to drone strike Kenya, and that there arenât any terrorist camps in Kenya. However, not getting permission from country leaders to drone strike hasnât stopped the US before. This plan is remarkably similar to what the US did to Somalia, in which US backed Ethiopian soldiers wrecked havoc.
Itâs important to know that AFRICOM is supported by the democratic party, even more âprogressiveâ politicians like Ilhan Omar. While AFRICOM was created in 2008 by George Bush, it grew by 2,000% under Obama, and is currently supported by both Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Still reeling from the realization that bullet journaling was essentially created to be a disability aid and got legit fuckin gentrified
Like I'm at work and don't have the time to properly organize my thoughts atm but like.
-bullet journalling was invented by a man with a learning disability (99% sure it was ADHD but his website now just says learning disability so I can't be 100%) as a system for organizing his life/way to work WITH his learning disability
-the general concept is bullet point the important things you need to do and use a simple system of symbols to mark whether it's done, rescheduled, cancelled, etc. with very little fanfare, keeping it all in one notebook so you know where to easily find the information at a glance
-people pick it up and it starts getting popular
-bullet journaling becomes an aesthetic movement largely populated by white neurotypicals
-bullet journaling has turned into creating an extremely pretty notebook that has some function, but largely depends on complicated decoration and aesthetic function that takes more time to set up than is tenable for the people it was created for
-new entries to bullet journaling feel pressure to shop at particular stores, use particular brands, purchase lots of stationery purely for its aesthetic value, and prioritize the artistry of the pages rather than the information being stored on them
-people who would massively benefit from the original system can only really find information on it from members of the aesthetic movement. There is now a barrier to entry for ppl with ADHD and other similar conditions, as bullet journaling now requires a focus and motivation to start that these same people often lack or struggle to maintain consistently
-bullet journaling is no longer a disability aid and has become an aesthetic movement largely for middle class white neurotypicals, pushing out the people who the system was created for to begin with
This is the original guide from the person who made bullet journalling. Super simple. Not at all high maintenance.
It was eye-opening to rewatch this after getting used to bullet journal meaning "work of highly decorative art you might journal in if it doesn't detract from the decoration" everywhere online.

it is pretty annoying how the fandom erases shaggys flaws to make him into a uwu precious scoobie snack babieâŠlike hes a coward that when push comes to shove isnt there to help out his friends lmao
alright, lemme school your dumbass because obviously youâve never watched scooby doo before
shaggy rogers is a hero
yes, he canonically has anxiety issues, but when it comes down to it, he is there for his friends no matter how scared he is. he cares very deeply for his friends and he would absolutely not hesitate to put himself in danger to keep them safe
in âmusic of the vampireâ when the vampire threatens his friends, shaggyâs first response is to grab a bunch of wooden stakes to attack the vampire with
later in this same movie when he (albeit falsely) believes heâs fallen victim to the vampire curse, he runs away and gets as far away from his friends as possible so there would be no chance of him harming them or inflicting the curse on them as well
and in âcamp scareâ when the fish monster theyâre dealing with hurts scooby, shaggyâs first response was to shatter a two-by-four across its face. watch it go down here, skip to about 1:30
during the climax of âlegend of the phantosaurâ after struggling with his anxiety for the whole movie, shaggy overcomes it for the sake of saving the lives of his friends and the villains who put them in danger in the first place
in âghoul schoolâ, without any help from fred, daphne, or velma, shaggy saves the lives of several monster kids, and in âreluctant werewolfâ when heâs cursed to become a werewolf, he wins back his humanity in just under two days, again without help from fred, daphne, or velma
hell, the whole plot of âgoblin kingâ was about shaggy and scooby travelling into the realm of monsters, the very things heâs afraid of mos, so he can save his friends from being turned into monsters themselves. and he does save them
and those are just the examples i could think of off the top of my head!
shaggy is as essential to the gang as everyone else is. heâs the one who repeatedly throws himself headfirst into the path of the monster of the week to lead it into fredâs traps, despite his anxiety issues, because heâs the only one fast enough not to get caught. fun fact! heâs won multiple awards in high school for gymnastics and athletics. he isnât just all about fear and food. heâs a friendly, caring person who would do anything for his friends, and on top of all this?
heâs only seventeen. of course heâs scared, heâs just a kid.
tl;dr, shaggy rogers is more than his anxiety
canonically, shaggy and scoob have dealt with more real monsters than the entire gang.
the mystery gang tends to unmask humans. The exceptions (authentic monsters, zombies, witches, ghosts, etc) are in certain movies. some of which (Zombie Island, the Witchâs Ghost) involve the full gang. Others (Ghoul School, Reluctant Werewolf, the Boo Brothers) have Shaggy and Scoob (and Scrappy) on their own adventures.Â
oh hey and in ghoul school, looking for some peace and quiet, they get hired as gym teachers at a school for girls, that turns out to be a school for ghouls. Despite being terrified, Â
they stay, become fantastic teachers, inspire their students and lead them to victory in the volleyball champion, and then risk their lives saving the students from an evil witch and spider minions.Â
oh and they befriend an adult mummy, vampire, wolfman, and phantom along the way
not to mention whenever they hang with the rest of the gang, they invariably get used trap bait against their expressed wishes. but still they stick around
oh, and despite their reluctance, scoob and shaggy regularly play some of the most vital roles in the gangâs adventures, to the point the movie posters regularly feature them as the most prominent members. the rest of the gang may provide the motivation, but shaggy and scooby are the lifeblood of the show:
conclusion: Shaggy Rogers and Scoobert Doo have enormous hearts that lead them to face their greatest fears on an almost daily basis for the sake of protecting those they care about.
PROTECT AND APPRECIATE SHAGGY ROGERS
Also, THEY ARE ALWAYS RUNNING AROUND LIKE CRAZY AND DOING SUPER DANGEROUS STUFF. THEY ARE BURNING MORE CALORIES THAN THEY HAVE IN THEIR BODIES. OF COURSE THEYâRE GONNA EAT LIKE CRAZY. IF THEY DONâT EAT CONSTANTLY THEYâLL DIE.

Also the mystery machine was originally Shaggyâs but he gave it to Fred because heâs too anxious to drive more often than not. Miss me with this fake as shit about my favorite guy.
In this house, we stan Norville âShaggyâ Rogers.
Shaggy would be a great Green lantern
He actively supports his friends interests even if they are outside of his own and when presented with opportunities to call out one of his friends on their occasional b.s. he typically keeps his personal knowledge to himself because he cares about them and doesnât want to cause them embarrassment. Per the comics his support is why the rest of the gang managed to be comfortable with themselves enough to follow their various quirky interests which is why Mystery Inc is able to exist in the first place. Thereâs also the fact that while the show makes his fears comedic, they are in reality completely legitimate. Shaggy knows real dangerous monsters exist, he knows the supernatural is real, and he knows that people with or without masks can be dangerous. It is canon that he has been dealing with this stuff since he was at least a toddler. Not only do villains constantly chase him and try to capture him, occasionally succeeding, they have also tried to shoot him, stab him, drown him, push him off of ledges, blow him up, run him over, suffocate him, freeze him to death, smash his skull in with blunt objects, burn him alive, seal him into a wall, run him off the road while driving, toss him out of planes while in flight, trapped him with large, hungry, predatory animals in hopes that the animal would kill and eat him, etc. and thatâs just off the top of my head.Â
He has watched friends, acquaintances, and complete strangers be nearly killed and often was the one who jumped into the fray to keep that from happening. Despite Daphne often being referred to as a damsel in distress character and her alliterative Danger Prone Daphne nickname, if you watch the various series and movies, Shaggy is actually the most danger prone, most frequently captured, and also most often injured character in the series. Yes, he often jumps at things that end up being innocuous, but ptsd and anxiety are real things, and letâs be honest, if all of the above was my every day life, Iâd be pretty darn jumpy too. Shaggy is the voice of reason in the group. When the gang is inevitably informed that some giant beast in the area has been rampaging about causing destruction, and kidnapping and/or trying to murder people, he has every right to voice concern over intentionally going out to search for the thing, especially when he himself attracts that danger and the supernatural more than anyone else in the gang, including Scooby. If a pathway looks dangerous and he points it out, everyone else will roll their eyes and keep going and heâll inevitably follow them and its his feet it ends up crumbling under. His completely valid concerns are constantly dismissed and heâs usually the one who ends up suffering the consequences for it. And while I agree he would make a great green lantern, he was in canon a pretty awesome yellow lantern.
There have been many hints throughout the series that Shaggy actually obliviously wields magic and Scooby is his familiar, which was basically made canon in Goblin King and there was a gag about it in a Be Cool Scooby Doo episode. Read more about thisÂ
here and here also here and lastly here
In the above comic, Shaggy manipulated the ring without even trying while Sinestro was both wearing it and actively trying to wield it, and then it flew off of Sinestroâs finger and onto Shaggyâs. As his familiar, Scooby is affected by the ring too. Sinestro freaks out about them having the ability to both cause and instill the greatest fear of all. Thereâs another team-up comic with Green Arrow and Green Lantern where Psycho Pirate shows up and uses his ability to cause the rest of the gang to feel sheer terror and flee, this has seemingly no affect on Shaggy and Scooby because thatâs just their normal state.
The big takeaway here is that despite all of the perfectly legitimate reasons to be scared listed above, the yellow lantern comic suggests that the primary reason Shaggy is actually afraid is that heâs been taking his ability to cause and instill the greatest fear of all and subconsciously inflicting all of it on himself (and unwittingly on Scooby as well due to their connection). He has stated that his greatest dislike is being afraid, so heâs basically wielding the feeling he dislikes most in the world at epic proportions onto himself because he would never want anyone else to have to feel that way, all the while still managing to investigate spooky places, find clues, solve mysteries, be a good friend, act as bait, and throw himself into danger for the sake of others. So yeah, Shaggy is a hero and his friends should give him all the hugs because he sure as heck deserves them.
I really want to contribute to this thread but all I can think of is Shaggy saving the wax voodoo dolls of Fred, Daphne, and Velma (although he and Scooby didnât exactly recognize what they were at first) from being melted and/or used to injure or kill anyone and throwing the wax figures of the werecat trio into a fire to save the gang in âScooby Doo on Zombie Islandâ
(just for some context bc itâs been a while since I watched zombie island)
Like, yes, Shaggy is controlling Daphneâs actions with the doll, but look at how gently he holds the figure. He treats it like his friend (and yes, it technically is) because he cares about the rest of the gang. This bit was mainly for comedic relief, but it also shows how serious this situation and the voodoo dolls actually were in the film.
And really, if you saw some Karen-Linda-intimidating-employer/CEO looking lady turn into this, wouldnât you be at least a little unnerved?
Also: Shaggy has to have a lot of physical strength and endurance or just have a higher adrenaline output than most (via anxiety and ptsd due to being used as bait and all) to be able to run away as fast as he does. And nearly everyone whoâs ever seen or heard of Scooby Doo knows that thing that Shaggy and Scooby do(o) â hehe â where Shaggy ends up holding Scooby when they get spooked or chased. Scoobert Doo is a Great Dane. Male Great Danes can be up to seven (7) feet tall on their hind legs, and on average, they weigh about 120-200 lbs (54-90 kg). Thatâs a big dog.
(just for reference)
And Shaggy will sprint with Scooby in his back in most (if not every) episode.
just to add on to this thread of amazing physical feats one norville âshaggyâ rogers has accomplished:
heâs pushed a boat filled with the gang + madelyn + scooby across a lake, RUNNING ON WATER WHILE HE DOES SO (Abracadabra-Doo!)
and, if we estimate the dinghy at roughly 150-175 lbs (usually the weight for a boat this size that can easily fit 6 people), and Scooby at 200 lbs even (given that when he rode on the back of a mule alone, he caused it to collapse under his weight in SD & the Monster of Mexico), Shaggy is not only propelling himself fast enough to RUN ON WATER, he is also pushing the rough equivalent of 1000 pounds of weight across the water, at fast enough speeds to rival a motorboat
in SD Camp Scare, he also shook the metal bars of a prison cell so hard, that they broke apart and collapsed entirely, even though they were embedded in stone
and to those saying âwell, he canât repeat those feat bc those are oneoff dealsâ, oh shit you thought???
here are TWO separate occasions of Shaggy running UP rocks and LEAPING UP to different ones to escape a pit.
the first in Legend of the Phantasaur
the second in Whereâs My Mummy
WHILE CARRYING SCOOBY IN HIS ARMS
THE BOY IS AMAZING AND WONDERFUL I WILL TAKE NO FURTHER OPINIONS AT THIS TIME
Theory: Shaggy is an anime protagonist that got stuck in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon universe.

An older man is finally able to leave the Soviet Union in the late 1980s for the first time in his life.
His wife and son have already left and settled in the States, and heâs finally able to go and join them.
On his way out through the Soviet border, the guard looks through his luggage and finds a bust of Lenin.
âWhat is this?â he asks.
âDonât ask me what this is, ask me who this is! This is Vladimir Lenin, the great hero that fought for the rights of the people in our country, and Iâm bringing him with me to remind myself to continue that battle in America!â
The guard lets him through, and he is able to go on the plane to America. Once he arrives, the American border guard goes through his luggage and finds the bust of Lenin.
âWhat is this?â he asks.
âDonât ask me what this is, ask me who this is! This is Vladimir Lenin, the fiendish monster who destroyed my beautiful homeland! I am bringing him with me to remind myself the the mistakes of the past.â
The guard lets him through, and he is able to go into the country, where he takes a taxi to the house his wife and son are staying. After reuniting with them, the son sees the bust of Lenin, and asks, âPapa, who is this?â
The man smiles and says, âmy son, donât ask me who this is, ask me what this! This, my son, is 18 pounds of gold!â
