Acceptance

My mom “accepts me”, but she “knows I only chose to be bisexual so I didn’t have to break up with my girlfriend when she started transition.”

My dad “accepts me” but often reminds me that “monogamy is important no matter who you’re attracted to” because bi girls are more likely to cheat.

My girlfriend’s mom “accepts her” but won’t use her chosen name and only uses the right pronouns half the time.

My pan friend’s mom “accepts her” but still calls her girlfriend her “best friend” because she “knows my friend will find the right boy someday”

A gay guy I met in class has parents that “accept him” but when he said he was being bullied for his sexuality said that “he should just be less public about it.”

None of us have been kicked out. We still talk to our parents. They give us food and clothes and help pay college tuition. They haven’t threatened to kill us. They haven’t actually killed us.

They “accept us”

But no they don’t.

Not kicking your kid out/not murdering them cannot be the standard of acceptance. It’s not accepting. It’s almost nothing.

If you want to be a wonderful accepting parent to a LGBTQ+ kid, you have to listen to what they say and trust them. You have to do your research and understand that this is who they are and it’s not up to them. You have to do anything you can to make their lives easier because the rest of the world is already going to make them go through hell.

And if you’re not ready to trust your kid and love them no matter what, don’t call yourself progressive or accepting.

You’re just a dick.

IT'S HERESY! It's not hard to not be a dick people. This is an all around accepting page. LGBTQ+ acceptance. AND NO RACISM. Don't like it, gtfoooooo

I still think this is INSANITY.

it’s really easy for skinny, conventionally attractive women, who have always been skinny and conventionally attractive, to give speeches about body positivity and accepting your body and seeing your beauty. it doesn’t impress me and it doesn’t change anything for me as a fat woman of colour, even if their intentions are ‘good’, whatever that means.

this isn’t the representation we want, and this isn’t what’s going to help us and comfort us and bring us strength. i can’t see myself and my struggles in a skinny, conventionally attractive woman. until fat women are allowed to give speeches about our bodies and our mental health in relation to our bodies and the way society treats us, without being forced into stereotypical boxes and without spreading the false message that our goal in life is to become skinny, i am deaf to these speeches.

imfunnydamit

While i agree with this, it's also not okay to say "annoying skinny ppl will be blocked on sight" because I'm pretty sure that the rule is, hate breeds hate. Sitting here just getting angry bc a skinny person is going to comment on your public, internet post is just very childish. Plain and simple. I'll still take love from anyone, though yes I'd prefer to have someone bigger teach me how to and show me i can love myself! Someone skinny can love me just as much and shutting this down is just going to further the skinny vs fluffy gap between us. It's no help to just have this hate and anger against each other, is it?

It’s ironic because they don’t look at US as real people.

okay i haven’t seen anyone else talk about this so i’ll just do it myself. so in case anyone doesn’t know, rihanna using islamic hadiths as background music in a lingerine show. the hadith used is of prophet muhammad explaining signs of the day of judgement, which is also called dooms day and you know what the song is called? doom. they knew what they were doing and this is just blatant islamophobia.

hadiths are very important in our religion and to make a song out of one of them and dance to it is just pure mockery of our religion. both rihanna and the staff should be held accountable. stop normalizing islamophobia. my religion is not your aesthetic.

also i will not forget when she went to do a shoot in front of the sheikh zayid mosque. mosques are a place to pray not to take a whole fucking shoot at. if you want a take a simple picture that is fine but to pose in front of a mosque? and i still haven’t forgotten that in her first show the models wore HIJABS as a fashion statement which is so disrespectful and it’s just islamaphobia and cultural appropriation.

islamophobia is so normalized and i am so tired of it. to every non-muslim out there who is defending her, you’re not allowed to tell us how to feel about this situation. stop saying we’re dramatic and you sure as hell can’t decide for us if we have to accept her apology (if she ever does apologizes!).

non-muslims can reblog but don’t comment on it.

imfunnydamit

This makes me so sad bc I loved her more and more and doing fact check, this is all true. At least the appropriation portion. She's very body forward and sexuality accepting, but Islam is not fashion. And seeing she used non Muslims wearing hijab for fashion? And the shoot outside a mosque? Not okay mannnn.

Excuse me they WHAT?! WE LEARNED THIS WAS BAD IN THE 1900s!!! WHY IS IT STILL HAPPENING. I still maintain. "NAT YO BODY? NAT YO SAY!!"

apolloendymion

tbh it doesn't rly hurt teenagers to incorrectly id as ace like... what's the worst than could happen? they don't have sex till they're older?? lol

apolloendymion

"ohh but it'll take them longer to realize they're actually gay" i know my experiences aren't universal but like. if i wasn't ready to face my lesbianism then i was Not Ready, you could've eliminated every other label in existence and i still wouldn't have accepted it. if anything, the ability to try out different labels helped me learn about myself, explore the community, and accept that maybe not being straight wasn't so bad.

apolloendymion

also lots of people identify as bi before realizing they are gay, lots of people identify as gay before realizing they're bi, lots of people identify as gay before realizing they're trans, etc etc etc!!! exploring and getting it wrong is a necessary part of the process!!! why is it so different for aroace identities?????

The way Egyptologist treat dead bodies….like you could be a king and your body still isn’t respected. It’s just a gross reminder that black and brown bodies and our cultures are still not respected. I really do hate it. It’s not even about “spooky curses”, it’s about these folks customs being vehemently against their bodies being exposed or their items removed from their coffins.

Please respect the fucking dead. Stop unearthing and opening Pharaohs coffins. Like literally the whole point was for them to go to the afterlife with their belongings IN their coffins.

We may not want to acknowledge it, but that is racism. Your disrespect of a cultures that’s not yours, an African culture, is heavily racist. Considering Egyptology and the entire field of freaking archeology is racist af, this isn’t surprising. But like, really.

del-valle

While there is definitely an ethical and moral dilemma in digging up the dead (which BTW is something all good archaeologists and historians look at) it is entirely unfair to class the entire disciplines of Egyptology and archaeology as racist. For one there are so many people in both fields who are african and especially from Egypt in this cases, to write like this as if it is only white people doing the digging is full on erasing their contribution to the fields.

It is easy to look at the early days of archaeology and Orientalism and just assume that is how things still are, but it is far more complex than that. Modern egyptian egyptologists are the ones who are in charge in most of the digs of the past decades and even if they are not, any dig conducted by non-egyptians is under the guidance of the egyptian authorities, they literally have a Ministry for Antiquities in the eguptisn government which regulates all of this. This is not the archaeology of the past where British people were allowed to do what they liked because they technically controlled the area, these are egyptian people in an independent state conducting these digs.

You can argue all you like that is it not ethically right to disturb these burials but it is a gross generalisation to say that modern Egyptology and archaeology is racist, especially since you are literally discounting all the work done by poc in the fields in the process. You are literally saying that Egyptians in Egypt digging up old Egyptians is racist, because that what is happening these days.

witches-ofcolor

Just because people of color exist in the field doesn’t make it less racist. Of course not all people in the field are racist, but the continued modern day unearthing of the dead pretty much proves that its still incredibly racist. Maybe I’d disagree if things had recently changed, but they haven’t. If the most recent event in your field is incredibly racist than the field is pretty racist.

imfunnydamit

I'm white af so technically my opinion doesn't matter here. But I see this as our curiosity to the past. Wanting to explore and understand how things were ages ago to understand how they used to live and, most importantly, avoid the mustache mistakes of the past as well. We've learned many amazing and fascinating things and learned to appreciate how incredibly smart those in the past were as well. Many inventions and tools they used years and years ago have also developed many innovations we've come to use today as well. I can't imagine how it feels though for someone of color of course, but in our hurt and pain I think sometimes we can forget that something may not always be so bad. In the past, I very much see that they didn't care for things they may have ruined or disturbed. But nowadays (not 100% though unfortunately) I've seen that many many historians are now contracting and paying people indigenous to the area they are studying and excavating to teach them the most respectable way to be able to look at and gather knowledge for what they've discovered. They want to get this intimation to collect and pass on, but in a way where they WON'T be being disrespectful. But, that's just my two cents on it. As long as you're willing to learn, no matter the subject, I think we can make this planet somewhere we can finally say our children will grow up to be amazing beings capable of great things.

I think I can speak for a lot of creators when I say that the current state of ‘interaction’ is horrible across the board.

On my part, I know how hard I work in order to put out content. Having over two thousand followers and struggling to get 10 notes? That sucks. There’s no other way to say it. It feels like shit.

It definitely means my output dips severely, because why would I want to create something when it isn’t going to get read? And it really feels like no one is reading.

I get some asks saying that people love my work, but I’ve never seen that username once in my notes. So it feels false. Or at least, “I love your work, but I don’t love it enough to share it or validate it.”

It’s absolutely not surprising to me to see creators dropping like flies, or at least not creating very much anymore, because there’s no point.

Fun fact.

There’s this thing called sleep inertia.

It happens when your alarm clock wakes you up in the wrong part of your cycle. Because you didn’t get a full “cycle” of sleep, your brain goes “nooope, not gonna wake up.”

And it can last as long as four hours, although thirty minutes is about typical.

If you get woken up by something like, say, your partner and don’t have to get up right away, then your brain will quite sensibly suggest that you stay put until you’re all the way awake.

In other words, “In my bed convincing myself to get up for 30 minutes” is a normal physiological reaction. Some people do seem to be more prone to it than others, though, and if you get severe or prolonged sleep inertia you should probably talk to your doctor about a sleep study. Severe sleep inertia can also result in depression.

But that “I’m-awake-but-don’t-make-me-move” feeling is normal. Especially if you have to wake up at the same time every day…like, ya know, most of us

The Mandalorian | Chapter 5 - The Gunslinger | TATOOINE + THE TUSKEN RAIDERS

“Tusken Raiders. I heard the locals talking about this filth.” “Tuskens think they’re the locals. Everyone else is trespassing.” “Well, whatever they call themselves, they’d best keep their distance.” “Yeah? Why don’t you tell them yourself?” “What are you doing?” “Negotiating. We need passage across their land.”

romanticamnesia

Fun fact: according to the episode’s end credits, the actor playing “Tuskan [sic] Raider Scout #1” is Troy Kotsur.

Troy Kotsur is a Deaf American actor who uses American Sign Language:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Kotsur

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1319274/

I don’t know if the Mandalorian and the Tusken were using ASL when signing, but it’s pretty cool that the series cast a character who signs with an actor who signs, rather than “person waving hands around randomly” that’s used for a lot of fictional SFF sign languages.
