What if you were friends with some weird alien and it didn’t wear any type of clothes and you just figured it didn’t come from a culture that wore clothes but then you finally visited its planet and they’re all totally dressed how would you feel

me: *stands up*

me: *gets head rush*

me: *vision goes blurry and white*

me: *hears ringing noise and stumbles*

me: I am literally the healthiest person alive. Stay hydrated.

Watching Harry spit water and touch his hair makes me want to be a better person.

I want to see one of these fabled “good cops” shoot and kill another cop to prevent them from killing another innocent person

I’ve seen a couple of posts like this directed at men but none for white people so I’m going to make one

if you’re talking to a person of colour, about anything but especially about something personal or something regarding race in any way, you need to be asking yourself: “am I making them uncomfortable? do they want to be talking about this, here, now, and with me? am I being voyeuristic? am I being invasive? am I demanding information that they’re not volunteering? am I asking them to dredge up things they don’t want to dredge up? am I asking them to perform emotional or intellectual labour for me? would I ask this question of a white person? am I invading their personal space, emotionally or physically? am I disrespecting their boundaries? am I making it awkward or impossible for them to change the subject / end the conversation / leave the room? am I doing a good job of policing myself in this interaction so that they don’t have to?”

oh and also “DID THEY ASK FOR MY FUCKING OPINION ON THIS SUBJECT”

white nb people have a really fucked up definition of what binarism is lol

binarism is a feature of colonialism and western imperialism in which poc (namely black people) are forced to conform with the white gender binary system

its not the invisibility of nonbinary people in society, thats just called nonbinary erasure (like refusing to use gender neutral pronouns, say stuff like “both genders” etc)

before colonialism came in and enslaved poc, they were already expressing their genders in ways that european white people didnt understand and forced them to identify as either man or woman and entirely erased the genders specific to those cultures, wiping out a large part of individualism and expression in poc societies

[coocoolah-deactivated20190601]

Performing one’s gender wrong initiates a set of punishments both obvious and indirect, and performing it well provides the reassurance that there is an essentialism of gender identity after all. That this reassurance is so easily displaced by anxiety, that culture so readily punishes or marginalizes those who fail to perform the illusion of gender essentialism should be sign enough that on some level there is social knowledge that the truth or falsity of gender is only socially compelled and in no sense ontologically necessitated.

me being ignored (now that i am mature): this is fine i suppose

[nourrice]

this is a lie im on the verge of tears

[audible-smiles]

the solar system is probably most purely, simply fun exploratory experience humans will ever get to have, because there’s nobody there! there’s no colonialism and we don’t have to worry about aliens yet, so its just. fun!

we just land a robot on an empty planet and make it do wheelies and every few days we find like a cool rock and scientists yell about it on twitter

idk jmo but imo if you think neo-nazis have a right to a platform from which to speak violence because of “free speech” then you support nazis. I mean it’s really that simple. This isn’t “we need to hear both sides of the debate”. You’re legitimizing the position of nazis as worth dignifying if you grant them freedom of speech. jmo though

Space Libertarian: freedom to explosively decompress in the infinite void because you got too behind on your space rent is still technically freedom
