Hey so as the economy continues to get worse in the next few years, gambling companies are going to go extra hardcore predatory as people become more desperate. Yes, even more than they already are. You have to promise me right now you're not going to fall for it. No gambling, okay?

This is going to be especially bad with prediction markets and sports gambling, and it's already really fucking bad. But it also goes for loot boxes, blind box collectables, trading card games, and ESPECIALLY gacha games.

yes labubus are gambling

I no longer give a fuck whether any of the accusations against Jason Arday were true. We all know that a white man accused of plagiarism in Arday's place, no matter how credibly, would've received one story, maybe two, and then the news cycle would have moved on to literally anything else with more relevance.

But the press was ecstatic for a chance to discredit EDI (always referred to as DEI, because we all know who half these pieces of shit are getting their cues from too), and every single Black person in academia for being a woke diversity hire. The news cycle has been stuck for a ridiculously long time on the story of one (1!) man perhaps having dodgy credentials and academic history as a chance to put Black people aiming for any kind of proficiency and success in their fucking place. The case was brought to light by a self-professed race realist (read: outright racist) who believes Black people are genetically inferior, and this motive, and the implications of his accusations, were hardly questioned (and let's not act like this wasn't because a huge number of these reporters absolutely fucking AGREED, because racism in this country is rife and barely challenged, no matter how inaccurate and no matter how vile). No matter how accurate any of Cofnas' claims, we know why he was making them. We KNOW why.

Black people and other racial minorities in the UK are endlessly scrutinised, presumed incompetent, accused at every turn, and now a man is dead. He has been hounded and harrassed and made a scapegoat by a whole nation of journalists and now he's fucking dead. And not one of these ghoulish newspapers is ever going to admit to the blood on their hands.

not sure if this even made it to tumblr, but black man has been hounded to death by the British media

Jason Arday was the youngest black professor at Cambridge University, a few weeks ago a "race realist" (racist) accused him of plagiarism (I don't know if that is true I haven't looked into it), since then he has faced harassment and racism from both the general public and the British media, leading him to resign. He has now been found dead and while no official statement on his cause of death has been announced, it's highly likely it's suicide.

Plagiarism is not a crime punishable by death, but yet again the British media, funded by the right, has endlessly harassed a minority, it was online front page news on the Guardian for TWO DAYS!! This is a heartbreaking tragedy where I'm sure no one will be punished for this.

My heart goes out to his family

Like all of Moonlight is just SO GOOD but the fact that Chiron allowed Kevin in like that, the ONLY ONE he ever allowed to touch him sexually, vulnerably, to basically say that despite this hard exterior I've had to put up to protect myself from this cruel world, I let YOU in and you're the ONLY ONE....

on GOD im TELLING YOU the only reason Chiron and Kevin aren't in the high ranks of mlm romance is because they're 1) Black 2) in an all Black movie and 3) aren't the "palatable" Black gays white folk like!!!

And not that I ever want Moonlight to be consumed by fanfic culture, I actually think it should be left alone, but it really is telling that it never even had a chance. Despite having lines that people yearn for in their fics, ON SCREEN, CANON. Touch starvation, found family, best friends to lovers, yearning, love, soulmates?? It's a five course meal of good writing and acting and characters and and and-

[creatingblackcharacters]

If you follow this page your assignment is to watch Moonlight (2016) by the end of NEXT WEEK I need everyone to inject some good nonwhite queer cinema into their veins right NOW-

[creatingblackcharacters]

AND THE CRAZIEST PART IS: IT WON BEST PICTURE!!!! this all-Black, queer movie WON AN OSCAR for BEST PICTURE!! and people act like they don't know what it is!! "LGBTQ films don't get recognized" that's crazy because one of them won the most prestigious US film award (the first LGBTQ movie to do so) and y'all didn't even watch it!!!! I wonder why??? First movie for a Muslim actor to win an Oscar too (Mahershala Ali)!!! Like- please!!! PLEASE!!!!!

A lot of us learned certain theory terms--intersectionality, compulsory heterosexuality, Death of the Author--on social media. It's great to be able to discuss them! But it's important to know what you're discussing.

Kimberlé Crenshaw was the Black feminist scholar who coined the term "intersectionality." You can read her initial article coining and describing the theory "Demarginalizing the Intersection of Race and Sex: A Black Feminist Critique of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory and Antiracist Politics" (1989), her follow-up article expanding on it "Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence against Women of Color" (1991), and a (shorter and easier to read) interview with her about what she meant and what she thinks about it "Kimberlé Crenshaw on Intersectionality, More than Two Decades Later" (2017).

Adrienne Rich was the lesbian feminist scholar and poet who coined the term "compulsory heterosexuality" in her article "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence" (1980).

Roland Barthes was a French literary critic who coined the term "death of the author" in his essay "La mort de l'auteur" (The Death of the Author") (1967). This one is 6 pages long.

These are available on the internet - I highly recommend reading them and going straight to the source of what the authors said, and decide how much you agree with them and the uses they get put to!

Also, Laura Mulvey’s concept of the “male gaze” from her essay “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema.” It doesn’t mean what most people think, and even Mulvey says she’s developed the idea further since then.

I never imagined that reaching the final part of our journey would feel this difficult.

Thanks to the kindness of so many people, we've reached £2,576. Every donation brought us one step closer to hope, and we will always be grateful for that. 🤍

Today, our new goal is £3,000. We still have £424 to go, but lately our campaign has become very quiet. Days pass without any support, and it's heartbreaking to watch our progress come to a standstill while our needs remain the same. 💔

Our lives don't pause when donations do. We are still trying to rebuild after losing so much. I'm still fighting to continue my education, and my family is still doing everything they can to get through each day with dignity and hope.

If you've been following our story, please don't let this be where our journey stops.

Even the smallest donation can bring us closer to our goal, and if you're unable to give, sharing our campaign could help us reach someone who can. 🙏

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for reminding us that we haven't been forgotten. Your kindness gives us the strength to keep believing that better days are still possible. 🤍
