really i think the most insidious part of white supremacy is the way it will convince white people everything is actually About Them. being called out isn’t about you. poc expressing frustration at your behaviour isn’t about you. it’s about how you are affecting others. step one is literally just de-centre yourself from the conversation. anyone who’s not white has already had to learn this lesson the hard way and it gets tiring waiting for the rest of you to catch up
The best instrument
hey, here's a link to look up your local MP's email to let them know that 1. we want to see the environmental assessment 2. no more data centres until regulatory law catches up.
for those in BC, write to your MLA.
yep, pretty much
"Today, decades after racist covenants were banned, many white neighborhoods maintain their segregation in less explicit ways, but with the same overall effect. Vigorous fights against affordable housing and welfare, and even middle-class, neighborhoods have kept people with lower incomes out of white neighborhoods. While the discussion has shifted away from race and toward class, the impetus behind the fight against affordable housing often gives the racist intent away.
When ProPublica spoke with residents in wealthy white towns in Connecticut about why they were fighting the construction of mixed-income housing developments in their neighborhoods, the dog whistles abounded.
"The challenge to our community is not just to the character of neighborhoods, but also to firefighting and police response, potentially to educational capacity, to human services support and to our tradition as a single-family-home community", said Jim Marpe, Westport's First Selectman.
"The drug addicts are going to be here, believe me," said local resident William Woermer. "There will be a lot of riffraff. Then we go on to, with a project like this, you need security guards in the area."
"I'm sure they could have their little parking spaces, but somebody throws a party, or it's Cinco de Mayo or something else, and pretty soon you can't park there," said George Temple, concerned about the impact an affordable-housing complex would have on neighborhood parking.
There was more familiar, coded language: adding affordable housing would bring loud music and crime to their city. It would threaten school test scores."

literally in tears at this video....such good helpers......
"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.
The FAA had to explicitly make rules about how long pilots have to have off between shifts, and how far away from their home you can pin their home airport, because it doesn't mean shit that someone has 10 hours between shifts if they have a 2 hour commute each way. They had to make these rules because multiple passenger airplanes crashed because the pilots were exhausted from tight scheduling. Employers won't just work you to death, they'll take a hundred random customers with you.

I keep seeing posts claiming that x y or z action you can do to build a better world won’t matter. That capitalism doesn’t care, and your own actions dont amount to much.
It’s so painfully individualistic. Of course me doing that thing isn’t going to save anybody or anything.
Im not trying to be a superhero who personally saves the say.
I am one leaf making oxygen in a massive forest of other trees making oxygen. I am doing my best and having faith that millions of others will do their best as well.
Because that can and has made big changes over time. Like. That is just how change happens. Thats cultural shifts. Thats political shifts. Thats how lasting changes happen.
I don’t plant milkweed because I’m personally gonna save monarch butterflies. I plant milkweed because I know thousands of us are gonna plant milkweed and send money to the people fighting horrible pesticides in court.
The standard for change isn’t “is my doing this going to change the world?” The standard is “is my doing this part of the shift I want to see my community make?” And if the answer is yes, I do my best.

big problem on here is a lot of people seem to think just being transgender makes you a sensible political theorist
being transgender doesn't even make you a sensible gender theorist

Hello Everyone, my name is Caleb and I am an indigenous trans guy currently living in the global south. "Easily accessible" medicine is not a thing in the Philippines- government aid of any sort is nonexistent here. I currently have 3 jobs, but they all do not pay well, and they are all very "unstable".
I have a life-limiting disease that will kiIl me if I am not medicated. I had a suspicious mass removed along with my entire thyroid last May, and I would like to keep living. I have severe hypothyroidism that will lead to myxedema coma, (and eventually death) if I am not medicated, and a heart deformation caused by type II diabetes
I want to keep making art for as long as I am alive, and I need continuous medication for the rest of my life to do so. (Levothyroxine, Calcium & B-complex and metformin-sitaglipin). Please consider buying my prints! ❤️🩹 thank you very much.
