Anyway,

Everyone has bigotry to unlearn, and being marginalized does not make you immune to this. You can even be bigoted against the group you are a part of, because internalized bigotry is a thing. No one is immune to this.

And since people seemed really offended about this: no, this doesn't mean you are "forever unclean" or whatever hyperbolic thing you think it means. It just means we all grow up in societies that teach us shitty stuff, and it takes continuous effort to unlearn it. People aren't perfect, but that doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you human.

Yes, you will have to spend your whole life unlearning this shit, and you will have to spend your whole life learning new things about other identities, because surprise! Human society is not stagnant, and bigotry is complicated.

You cannot possibly know everything there is to know about an issue, not even for a marginalization you personally experience. I don't know everything there is to know about the trans experience, or misogyny, or being disabled. There will always be something new for me to learn.

To pretend you can learn about a certain issue once and you're now a perfect person for the rest of your life is ridiculous. If you think you shouldn't have to constantly learn new things to keep improving yourself as a person, you are lazy. Every person has a chance to do good in the world. If you squander your chances to make the world a better place, that's lazy. And by lazy, I mean you have the energy and the means to learn more, and you are choosing not to.

And personally, this quest for education isn't a burden. This is joy. It is joyful to learn. It is joyful to make myself more caring, more knowledgeable, more accepting of people different from me.

Hi dear, how are you? it's Ola 🥺

I am writing to you today with a heavy heart, in desperate need of your help. I cannot express how unbearable the situation we are living in has become. My family is suffering from the harshness of the biting cold, and we are facing a severe shortage of food and clothing. Every day that passes feels like a lifetime, and each moment makes me feel more helpless and hopeless.

I need you today more than ever. The crazy rise in prices has made us unable to buy food, water and clothes during this harsh winter, So can you help us provide our basic needs? 💔

Imagine if you were in my place—how would you feel? It is incredibly hard to ask for help, and even harder to feel that your voice is not being heard. I implore you, please don’t ignore me. Don’t make me feel that our lives and the lives of my family are not valuable.

I need your support, and I trust that you can provide it. All I am asking for is your support. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in changing the situation we are in. Please help us by donating to our campaign and by reblogging the pinned post on my page. Please don't stop at sharing.🥺🙏

“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

Hello everyone🙏

I am Mohammed Mahdi , from Gaza , 24 years old, and this is my story

My family and I were living a beautiful and quiet life.

We owned a very large and beautiful house, and my father owned a perfume company that was one of the largest companies in Gaza. Suddenly, the war broke out. At first, we stayed in our house and did not leave, but after the bombing intensified in northern Gaza, we decided to move to the south. After a short period, we received the news that our company had been bombed.

This news was a shock to us, as we lost our livelihood and all our money. After a short period, we received the news that our house had been burned and destroyed.

Here, my family and I lost everything, and we had nothing left. We moved from tent to tent to preserve our lives. We suffered a lot and a lot. Now, after a whole year of war, I have decided to do a cover-up so that my family and I can travel, preserve our lives, and start over despite all the difficulties that we will face.

Therefore, I hope that you will support me and my family to start over.

All my love to you and my family

The situation is catastrophic now in Gaza after the heavy rain and winds this week. Did you know that families in Gaza are sheltered only by some pieces of nylon and that the cold is very severe? My family is suffering from severe cold.

There is no shelter to protect them from the bitter cold. Their help will save my family’s lives from starvation and may help them flee Gaza soon after the crossings are opened soon.

I know that most of you are desperate and bored of constantly asking us for help. But how many times do you see the world and governments that did not look at us with mercy?

Only people with compassionate hearts like you help and sympathize with the afflicted.

Your continued support saves the lives of all my families. Support link here

One of my favourite questions for figuring out a character’s motivations is which qualities they most fear being assigned to them. Are they afraid (consciously or unconsciously) of being seen as stupid? Ungrateful? Weak? Incompetent? Lazy? Cowardly? Intimidating? Like they actually care? etc.

It’s such a fun way to explore into who they are, why they do what they do, what they don’t do out of fear, and how they might be affected by the events of the story. And I love when characters have negative motivations—trying to avoid something (in this case, being seen a particular way) as much as they’re trying to achieve a goal.

[daydreaming-scheming-demon]

fucking australia’s trying to get everyone to link their government id to their social media accounts else you cant use them anymore, the actual fuck is wrong with this country

[daydreaming-scheming-demon]

please, actually, get fucking mad over this, the entirety of australia basically just banned all social media for anyone who doesnt want to give up their privacy to the government, there was no vote on this, no nothing, they just went ahead and fucking passed this ridiculously privy law and barely anybody’s talking about it the actual fuck

[daydreaming-scheming-demon]

okay so to actually explain what exactly is happening, it’s an age thing. theyve used ‘protect the children’ and ‘let kids be kids’ as a weapon again. anyone under 16 is banned from social media, but to enforce this they have openly admitted everyone will need to link their government id to their social media. this whole ‘protect the kids’ thing was a very obvious trojan horse for getting ppl to give up their privacy.

[daydreaming-scheming-demon]

and yknow, that alone is a very shitty law even without the whole surrendering your private information to the government thing.

theyve made outside uninhabitable, there’s nowhere left to go. public areas have degenerated, theyve turned hanging out into a crime with loitering, streets feel unwalkable sometimes, parents are more wary of letting their kids walk around on their own than they used to be, and now theyre trying to ban one of the main ways kids manage to distract themselves inside the house.

when i was 15 i was depressed and lonely, unable to leave the house very far, no friends, nobody. the one place that helped me feel less alone was online communities. i wouldve killed myself if it werent for the support i recieved on there. and now theyre trying to ban that for future generations, in a world that hates them being both outside and inside.

and even still, this is still a fucking trojan horse to get you to give up your privacy.

[daydreaming-scheming-demon]

Not just kids: Everyone to be age verified for social media

Proposed under-16s ban has wider implications for Australians.

some proper info on this bullshit

[tallymali]

im always thinking about that post where someones grandma said “some people have never cleaned a bathroom and it shows” bc it does show

[cazort]

when i was a kid, in 2nd grade (age 7) i and some other kids made a mess in one of the bathrooms at school and the teachers instead of doing the normal canned "punishments" like having to skip lunch recess and sit still inside doing work, had us sit down with the janitors and they talked to us and the janitors explained the work they normally needed to do every day to clean the bathroom, and how what we did created extra work for them. and they took us into the bathroom and showed us what they do and how what we did made it more difficult.

and then they made us clean it all up (with help from the janitors because we were small kids and couldn't even reach everything, we had like thrown toilet paper high up and stuff) and they were very nice about it and there was no further punishment or mention of it again

and the things i took from this experience were:

i never trashed any shared or public space ever again in my life, even in the smallest way

i developed great respect for janitors which i have kept to this day

i think there are a lot of people who could benefit from this sort of experience.

our society often has so many problems not only because we insulate some people from the implications of their actions, but also because instead of facing them with those implications, we impose outside "punishments" that are often unrelated to the original wrongdoing.

like if they had not done what they did with us, and instead had just taken away our recess and made us do something boring and unpleasant, we wouldn't have learned what we did and we would have just learned that we need to get better at avoiding getting caught, which is generally how people respond to punishments that are divorced from explanations of how and why what you did was wrong and hurt people. if instead you confront people with those things, they will change of their own accord.

some adults out there are like full-grown children who never learned this stuff. but the solution isn't harsh punishment like putting them in jail and mistreating them there, the solution is that people need to be sat down with the people who are harmed by their actions and then they can work together to undo the damage, and see firsthand how hard it is.

it's transformative.
