How to Ditch Amazon

Support your local libraries and the small businesses that are actually making the products you want.  Fuck Jeff Bezos and the systemic, universal worker abuse, gaslighting, and brutality they live off of.

[bladelei]

this seems like a good thing to bring around as people holiday shop

[boxofbonesfic]

you “don’t write black or PoC readers” because you “don’t know what it’s like to be black or PoC” but y’all have no problem writing wizards, dragons, elves, witches, supersoldiers, mutants, jedi, people from eras you haven’t lived in, monarchs, murderers, and stalkers

but PoC are too far outside of your lived experience?

you can write nuanced and diverse characters from all walks of life, but as soon as they don’t look exactly like you, suddenly that creativity vanishes, and all you have to draw from is stereotypes?

[imnotoverlyobsessive]

I never used to write POC. The reason for that was until recently, I didn’t have any POC friends I could ask (unless you count other Jews; I grew up in a predominantly white area). Mermaids and whatnot may not exist, but POC do, and the last thing I would want is to misrepresent their experience in some way, or worse: write them as stereotypes.

[boxofbonesfic]

here’s the thing: every experience is a PoC experience. some people don’t have access to, and don’t participate in the cultures of their nationality. there are so many ways to write us that are not tied inherently to the trauma of slavery, colonization, or diasporas.

we have been steeped in whiteness so long that everyone thinks it’s the culturally or racially neutral option, it isn’t.

[avintagekiss24]

Why… do y’all not see black people as people? I swear to god we’ve experienced the exact same shit that y’all have lol again, if your comfortable writing your reader as a nurse when you have no fucking clue what a nurse’s “experience” is because you’re a cashier at Walmart, but you can’t fathom writing in a black character because “you don’t understand” us, you’re a racist. Full stop.

Bonus: 

Aloy: Steady hands and nerves of steel and she takes on powerful machines, AIs, and Zenith that want to destroy the world

Also Aloy: gets so nervous around the girl she has a crush on that her hand trembles as they kiss

ah, i’m so bad at posting here. acknowledging this Day of Mourning from the lands of Kiikaapoi, Peoria, Potawatomi, Myaamia & Ochethi Sakowin people, aka Chicago, derived from a native word for garlic (mmm…) which is really suitable for me because I live here now 🌱🧄✨

whose.land are you on? talk about it over dinner this weekend with your fam & what it means to give the #landback. considering everything, listening & learning from indigenous people is the least you can do.

crazy how India can have the largest labor strike in world history and it doesn't even make the news in the US. it's almost like they don't want us to know we can demand better working conditions

[sassyabrahamlincoln]

Nearly 250 million workers start strike in India

New Delhi, Nov 26 (Prensa Latina) Nearly 250 million Indian workers, from the construction, banking, manufacture, and service sectors, are s

250,000,000 people participated in India

For reference that'd be ~75% of the US population

That many people working together for fair labor laws

And most of the western world hasn't even heard about it

On December 10, 2020, Brandon Bernard is scheduled to be executed by the federal government for a crime he committed when he was 18 years old. He has spent 21 years on death row. Five out of the nine surviving jurors that found him guilty and one of his prosecutors no longer agree with his sentence. Please spread his story on social media, email President Trump, and call the Justice Department to ask them to commute his sentence to life without parole. Brandon Bernard’s crime is incompatible with his punishment and we cannot allow the federal government to follow through with this.

Please click the source link to be taken to his website, which details his life in prison and ways you can advocate for him. In the replies are a page with specific actions we can take to help his case and an Instagram post to share.

We need to thank the Navajo a nation! They all got out and voted with no cars and few polling places- their population was enough to swing BOTH Arizona and New Mexico

[galsinspace]

This is Navajo organiser Allie Young and her "voting squad" on the way to the polls. They rode 10 miles to vote early!
