Hi, I love this blog and I'd like to thank you for what you're doing!

I'd also like to recommend a graphic novel titled "They called us enemy", it's based in the real story of George Takei, a Japanese-American actor who spent part of his childhood in the internment camps where people of Japanese ancestry in the US were imprisoned during WWII. It tells readers about something that isn't talked about enough in a way that I think is quite effettive, so, again, I recommend it.

i LOVE this book, thank you for the recommendation!! George Takei is one of my favorite Asian American activists too!! he's most known for being Sulu in Star Trek, and is actually also a gay rights activist, being gay himself.

western (usually white but seemingly not in this case) people love to call nonwhite foods suddenly becoming popular in western mainstream culture "industry plants" as if they haven't always existed.

I’m nonwestern nonwhite and I’m not sure how calling them “industry plants” implies they haven’t always existed? Like in the case of Dubai chocolate, I’m pretty sure the uae known for paying some influencers to promote their stuff. When people are calling something stuff like that an “industry plant”, they aren’t claiming it didn’t exist before it became popular in the west recently? They are claiming that the popularity is manufactured by advertising affecting people and not ‘organic’ and there’s plenty of problems with that idea (the popularity of tons of stuff is affected by advertising but for some reason people only point out stuff that comes from ‘nonwestern’ cultures) so idk why you have to make a weird misreading.

matcha originated in China about 1200 years ago, açaí has been consumed by Indigenous communities in the Amazon for centuries, and Dubai chocolate was invented by combining chocolate with knafeh, an 1100 year old SWANA snack.

It's interesting that you chose to focus on Dubai chocolate and not the other ones because Dubai chocolate is the one I most believe became popular out of ill intentions (i.e. so that when you search up Dubai, this chocolate shows up and not like... the not glamorous living conditions, the understatement of the century).

When you call something an industry plant, you are calling it artificial and in this case, detaching it from its culture and history to be sold as a mere commodity. Capitalism thrives on exploitation, right? So what better to make a product they have to convince everyone to have than selling you a superficial aspect of a nuanced culture/heritage? People have a problem with it because of WHY they chose those aforementioned things to advertise as "industry plants," things USUALLY FROM nonwestern cultures. It goes beyond just advertising, and in that tweet it's pretty clear the issue isn't just talking about how advertising sucks.

('The Rules of Engagement with White Fragility', continued from last post)

"8. As a white person, I must feel completely safe during any discussion of race. Suggesting that I have racist assumptions or patterns will cause me to feel unsafe, so you will need to rebuild my trust by never giving me feedback again. Point of clarification: when I say "safe", what I really mean is "comfortable".

9. Highlighting my racial privilege invalidates the form of oppression that I experience (e.g. classism, sexism, heterosexism, ageism, ableism, transphobia). We will then need to turn out attention to how you oppressed me.

10. You must acknowledge my intentions (always good) and agree that my good intentions cancel out the impact of my behavior.

11. To suggest my behavior had a racist impact is to have misunderstood me. You will need to allow me to explain myself until you can acknowledge that it was your misunderstanding."

I don't think this is an appropriate response to an article about South Asian farmers losing their teeth because temperatures are now reaching 45 Celcius.

The average Tumblr blogger has such poor manners that even a pig would be embarrassed to bring them home to its mother.

When the Heat Steals Your Smile

After I suspected a climate connection to tooth decay, I conducted systematic saliva pH testing across my patient population and documented

okay so i think i found the article op's (and me in my tags) talking about. being exposed to over 40 celsius (120 farenheit or so) for the whole day means youre sweating a LOT (the article says rashid- the farmer at the centre of the text- drinks around 17 liters a Day. humans usually only need 3, so i presume the rest is mostly used for sweat). so much so that the organizm reroutes water from other parts of itself to not die of heatstroke - salivary glands included, which means that 1. they have very little saliva in comparison to a healthy human being 2. what little their bodies DO produce is incredibly acidic, falling to ~5.5 ph from the ideal of 7ph. Teeth dissolve. Quickly. There's a mention of someone losing 8 teeth in two years

im not reading the whole article now (headache -_-), but later on the author of the article says about 30 million people (employed in agriculture) are at risk for extreme dental health problems. 30 million people at risk of not being able to eat solid food. 30 million people at risk of not being able to find work. being able to marry. being able to be part of their community. being able to speak clearly

this is. fucking horrible feels like an understatement, but it is the best i have. this exceptionally, terribly inhumane, and the pakistan goverment's lack of a plan to adress this is embarassing

PLEASE D0N'T WAIT UNTIL I BEC0ME AN0THER TRAGIC ST0RY THAT Y0U WILL READ TOMORROW.

I keep imagining the moment my family will someone ask of them, "Is Fadel still alive?!" I don't know how they will answer that day. No mother, father, or sibling should have to live with this grief and fear that hangs over every soul.

[fadell-aldany]

Every day I fight two battles at once: the battle to endure the pain of the shrapnel lodged in my body from the bombing of our house, and the battle to find a way to afford the medication for my anemia, the painkillers to ease my injuries, and the bandages I still desperately need. I feel like I'm breaking down more and more each day. Every single day.

[fadell-aldany]

Please don't ignore me ple@se h@lp me by d0nating so I can urgently buy my medication and painkillers. please I don't deserve all this neglect. I'm not asking for miracles, just a chance to live my life without pain or disability. your help or d0nate or share my story today. Your kindness can help protect my future and remind us that we are not alone.

She is currently out on the street with no food or medicine trying to recover from surgery. She desperately needs help!

[naidje]

Please help!

Shira is in the emergency room with a very bad infection after being forced to live on the street after surgery.

She needs donations badly to pay for medical care and shelter.

[naidje]

UPDATE MAY 29TH 2026:

We are approaching the beginning of the month, and she urgently needs the €600 for the house rent before the 1st. Please, we kindly ask for your help and support. We are truly in desperate need of assistance at this difficult time.

Lets help get Shira the €600 for rent so she doesn't have to recover back on the street!

[naidje]

Update June 2nd 2026:

We have raised €234 out of the €600 needed for the house rent. Please, please share this with others. We only have a small amount left to reach our goal.

Come on folks, every little bit helps. Lets not put her back out on the streets!

€ 234/600

[naidje]

Help her please, she in very bad condition right now

[naidje]

Update June 27th 2026:

Unfortunately, because of her medical condition—which is very difficult to treat and continues to show noticeable deterioration—there is a constant fear that she may lose her housing. She already lost her first place to live, and now she is staying in a shared house, renting a room with someone else. The rent is €600 per month. Please, we urgently need to raise the €600 before the first of the month. So far, we have only managed to collect €14. Please share her story and support if you can. She genuinely needs help.

Please donate!

[naidje]

Update June 30th 2026:

"Please help me. I am honestly terrified. I feel constant panic, my stomach is in knots, and I keep vomiting from fear and stress. I barely have any food to eat, but what scares me the most is losing the place where I am staying. No one seems to have mercy anymore. If I cannot pay the €600 rent, I will lose the only place I have. This is the only place where I keep my clothes, my medication, and where I can sleep temporarily while I try to recover and get my health back on track. Please, I have to pay the rent at the beginning of the month. I am begging for your help. Please share this message and help me reach anyone who might be able to assist. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Please, please, please donate and share! She can't be out on the street again.

Everyday I find something else that shows how strange(?) white supremacy is in practice. Like I remember joking with my sis n law how black people especially older black people prefer butter pecan ice cream. OFC it’s somehow connected to Jim Crow. Around the country, Black people were only allowed to eat Vanilla ice cream on the 4th of July. The racists will do anything to subjugate people wtf
