My kink is husbands & wives who are still portrayed as very much in love with each other, because even after years of commitment and kids, they still talk to each other, go on fun random adventures and try new things. No resentment. No portrayal of marriage as a chore. Just actual love.

If I was honest, just for a heart-second, I could say that I donāt miss you. I am too fucking busy writing poetry about you. In another life, you had a different daughter. She was better. She opened her mouth and a hundred things did not fly out. She stayed at home. She was honest.

when u meet a poc and they introduce themselves w/the white pronounciation of their name like no sweetie youāre safe here, roll the r
Like you might have to pronounce your names 6 times to me slowly like Iām a fucking idiot but Iād rather look stupid and learn your real name than have you give me your shortened version or nickname to make your name more āconvenientā for me to say out loud
except like literally no, donāt say this to a poc who tells you the anglicized pronunciation of their name
iāve seen a lot of poc calling out this post already but not many people have given longer responses so i will try to do that
1) my name is what i say my name is. when asked how to pronounce my name, sometimes i just say the anglicized pronunciation and sometimes i tell peopleĀ āthe anglicized pronunciation that i prefer is _____.ā i literally never introduce myself with the vietnamese pronunciation of my name.
2) for the well-meaning ally, it might seem disrespectful to use an anglicized pronunciation. please consider that it is also disrespectful to use or ask that i tell you a pronunciation other than the one iāve already given. to ask for or use another pronunciation is toĀ defy what i am telling you. thatās rude and disrespectful.
3) to do so also shows how entitled you as a white person are. you are not entitled to my name, my language, or my culture. you can have access to those things if i invite you in.
4)Ā āno sweetie youāre safe hereā āiād rather look stupid and learn your real name than have you give me your shortened version ⦠to make your name more āconvenientā for me to sayā you might be a good person and a good ally, but iām inclined to think that youāre not. donāt assume that my decision to introduce myself with an anglicized pronunciation is for YOUR benefit. i would NOT introduce myself by a mispronunciation because iām worried that my real name would be inconvenient for you. it is MY preference for you to use this anglicized pronunciation. please think about why you think that poc are doing these things for your benefit. please think about why you potentially consider poc to be so subservient as to mispronounce our own names SOLELY for YOUR convenience. it has nothing to do with you.
4.5) re: being a good ally to poc. we canāt tell the difference between a white person and a White Person TM, but in my personal experience most are a White Person TM.
5) try to think about this.Ā āwhere are you from? no, where are you REALLY from? like, where is your FAMILY from?ā vs.Ā āhow do you say your name? no, how do you REALLY say your name?ā etc. itās the same damn thing. youāre not entitled to anything other than what i say to you. if i tell you iām from canada then you accept that as the answer. if i tell you my name is an anglicized pronunciation then you accept that as the answer.
i know a lot of white people reblogged the original post uncritically and i recognize that you are all trying and that you really are well-meaning in this sentiment. but please consider. if i wanted you to pronounce my nameĀ āproperly,ā i would have told you the āproperā pronunciation in the first place.

Does the sun ask itself, āAm I good? Am I worthwhile? Is there enough of me?ā No, it burns and it shines. Does the sun ask itself, āWhat does the moon think of me? How does Mars feel about me today?ā No it burns, it shines. Does the sun ask itself, āAm I as big as other suns in other galaxies?ā No, it burns, it shines.
