Nonbinary people who change nothing about their appearance are still nonbinary
Nonbinary people who use their AGAB pronouns are still nonbinary
Nonbinary people who don’t change their name are still nonbinary
Nonbinary people don’t owe you anything to be respected as nonbinary
cognitive dissonance is an active force
Yeah–there is a lot of colorism and antiblackness in indigenous movements. i didn’t wanna say this yesterday bcs i just didn’t want start drama on an important day. this is gonna be pretty heated bcs i always get heated about antiblackness and colorism
aside from how black people within certain native and or indigenous groups are treated (or mistreated), the way black people are erased from the term ‘indigenous’ and easily lumped in with ‘non-indigenous/non-native’ (and those terms are anti black in themselves) people, or even called colonizers/settleres in some instances, or even barred out of indigenous issues that affect us is sad.
i think that, it’s always wild to me that people are willing to go great lengths to describe how indigenous does not just mean one indigenous and or native group, it means many. People will bring up indigenous people from Japan, Hawaii, Canada, Peru, Guatemala, US, etc., and these groups have nothing to do with each other but people still recognize they fall under the indigenous umbrella and that they all face specific issues. But the same grace isn’t ever given to black people.
the first time i breached the discussion of black people being indigenous on this blog, I got a wave of hate my way. and that is really how it is even off line. black eople are a valid, indigenous group and we deserve to be recognized and heard for specific issues. Yet, like the only indigenous people who really acknowlege this at large are afro natives and even they face violent antiblackness in their own communities.
It’s just upsetting and shows how deeply colorism and antiblackness is ingrained in indienous events/groups/etc
I mean even when christopher columbus day was replaced with indigenous peoples day, black people still weren’t considered despite the fact that christoper coloumbus had black slaves and influenced the trans atlantic slave trade (people even speculate traded black slaves). Yet black people still aren’t recognized on things like indigeous peoples day.
It’s just–idk upsetting. Because i feel that when it comes to things like racism, police brutality and stuff, black people have been generous enough to let other groups take platforms and share our struggles to raise awareness–i.e bipoc, even the black power fist has become a sign of resistance in nonblack indigenous/native groups, but when it comes to nonblack groups welcoming black people to their platforms because every issue they face, from water, to land, to reconnection to culture, we are utterly ignored and barred out of convos.
it’s like, people don’t consider someone indigenous unless they are brown, and even if they are white before they’d ever consider a black person black in any capacity. whether we’re talking about black people who are a part of native groups, or black people being indigenous just by the sake of being black
Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.
And faster to pronounce if you are talking instead of writing.
It’s not more inclusive, and if your excuse of using a slur as a blanket term is “it’s faster to say”, GENUINELY what is wrong with you
It’s called economía del lenguaje.
It’s also the respected academic term?? The acronym isn’t static and it’s usage is varied by things like generational difference, location, and knowledge of the community. Even just in the U.S. in the last few decades the common usage gone from GLBT to LGBT to LGBTQ, to LGBTQA/LGBTQIA/LGBTQIAP/etc (Which, let me tell you as someone who has given presentations in the past using these updated acronyms, are all real mouthfulls), to LGBT+.
Also yes, queer is more inclusive! Especially coming at it from an academic standpoint, people didn’t always use or identify with the terms we use now and you can’t always try to cram them into our modern perceptions of sexuality. We can argue for years about whether a famous historical figure was gay or bisexual or straight and trans or whatever, but if we can all agree that they were somehow queer then using that term allows us to move past the debate and into productive discussion. And not everybody everywhere shares the same terms for sexual and gender identity, or even the same concepts of those things, so queer really is a more inclusive term in a lot of cases.
Like yeah if you’re talking specifically about gay or trans people you can just say gay or transgender, but if you’re talking about more than one identity or someone who doesn’t conform to our perceptions of ‘LGBT,’ or a person or people whose identity you don’t know, queer is just the better word.
“That’s SO gay”, “Oh my god, you’re not a LESBIAN, are you?”
Your words are slurs, too. Why do you get your words, but I don’t get mine? What makes you so special?
I’m here, I’m queer, go fuck yourself.
queer is not a slur, stop drinking the TERF koolaid
every time one of you fools spout about ‘queer is a slur’ a terf laughs because their fucking plan to make that word ‘taboo’ is fucking working you dipshit.
I did not get my degree in queer literature for you all to keep pulling this bullshit.
baby gays,,,, i beg of you to learn your queer history and stop listening to terf bullshit
every single one of our labels has been used as a slur against us.
terfs and -phobes are always going to try and hurt us with what we identify as. but the fact remains these are OUR labels and always have been.
we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.
I don’t know if this is just because I’m not American but I’ve never heard queer used as a slur. Ever. Meanwhile gay was the insult in the 2000s here. Everything you didn’t like was ‘soo gay’. Queer wasn’t even a word most of us knew back then.
It just baffled me that people would think an identifier is automatically a slur just because someone uses it to mock someone. If we did that gay would be a slur. Stupid would be a slur. Autistic would be a slur.
The reason people are upset about the word queer is that it’s a unifying term. You can say you’re queer and all people will know is that you’re part of the community. But you can’t say you’re LGBT, you have to say you’re gay or trans or ace. They don’t want you to be ambiguously queer. They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re undesirable.
yeah in the 90s and early 2000s kids would call each other “gay” as an insult. But no one ties themselves in knots over whether “gay” is a slur. So yeah, please ffs learn your history.
They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re undesirable.
but the way every site is just becoming more obsessed with being overly family and child friendly is insane. “i cant believe you’ve done this” getting taken down from youtube for ‘violence’. the way on tiktok if you want to subtitle your video you have to jump through hoops to censor words that arent even swears or sexual or else the video gets removed. i seen someone that had to censor the word diarrhea
this post is rapidly gaining notes if anyone adds anything stupid to it im going to hurt you
"Only 1% of white people in the US had slaves" is a great example of using a fact for misinformation. That is true, but extremely manipulative bc it cuts out really important details about the statistic.
1) It includes the more populous Northern states that did not allow slavery.
2) It ignores the fact that family units were much larger and only the family patriarch tended to actually own the slaves for the family, meaning there were significantly more slave-holders than slave-OWNERS. So you need to measure by household.
So, using the exact same data (the 1860 census) you can determine that about 25% of households in the south had slaves. In Mississippi alone 49% of households had slaves. South Carolina is 46%. The 1% figure I've believed in the past is propaganda to undersell the role of the general white population in slavery and to undersell just how much everyday southern whites benefitted from slavery.
And I haven't even mentioned that slave owners often rented out their slaves...
^Yo I was about to mention people who were renting slaves too
alright somebody add the ‘you can excuse racism?’ meme
I can’t believe we get to use this for once without having to edit it
Not to be an old lesbian, but all these kids saying “fruity” better not be the same people who want to get rid of “queer” because it’s a slur.
op you Cannot just hide the important commentary in the tags
[ID= screenshot of tags "#there are decades of reclamation work behind queer #but suddenly its okay to just use this word I have never heard in a positive way?? #don't get me wrong if that's what we're doing fine #it was my own kid who told me this was a thing #but the sheer casualness of the introduction of a new slur to the communities lexicon is pretty weird after the queer is a slur brigade" /end ID]
We’re not “just friends,” we’re friends.
Stop defining friendship as less than romance. Stop defining romance as better than friendship.
Friendship is enough, friendship is beautiful and fulfilling and good. Friendship isn’t less than. No type of relationship is better than another.
i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist
Artificial violence is not actually a corrupting influence but hanging out with assholes sure is.
also, I think we could probably recognize that like… there is a difference between a game where you beat up a half demon alien cyborg or whatever, and a game partially funded by the US military that glorifies hyper-realistic military operations in a “middle east” coded setting, where everyone with brown skin is an enemy that needs to be gunned down. Like, those things are different.
september is coming up so here’s your yearly reminder to leave billie joe armstrong the fuck alone
Well of course. We don’t wake him up until October 1st.
His dad is dead, just don’t.
In case anyone reading my blog is unaware, this is a reference to the Green Day song titled “Wake Me Up When September Ends” a song that Billie Joe Armstrong wrote following the death of his father in September of 1982 when Billie Joe was ten years old. The title of the song references his desire to sleep through September in an effort to get some emotional distance from the death of his father.
He’s since been open about the emotional difficulty of having written the song since many people now message him on October 1st to ‘wake him up’ despite the song being a memorial to his departed father.
It’s generally seen as respectful to not try to wake him up. Let him sleep and let him remember his father in peace.
reblogging again because the end of September is coming up. leave him alone.
Reblogging as a reminder to leave Billie Joe Armstrong the fuck alone on October 1st and any day after it if your message is going to contain anything to do with “waking” him up because September will be over.
the whole ‘MRA = fat man in fedora’ trope needs to die yesterday
it’s not funny. it’s offensive and seeing it on my dash reblogged for a laugh is honestly upsetting.
we all know MRAs are vile, but don’t tell me that the image of MRA = fat and overeating isn’t steeped in fatphobia. the stereotype’s come about because people think MRAs MUST be unattractive and lazy so of course they must be fat.
the truth is, MRAs and misogynists come from all walks of life and they’re all shapes and sizes and races. any man is capable of perpetuating misogyny.
idgaf how much you trash MRAs but stop throwing fat people under the bus to do it. we’re not a fucking punchline.
I didn’t factor those extra 15mins into my miserable day
So here’s a fun thing, admittedly very AU centric as this is an AU vid:
If they pull the “company policy” line, ask to see it. Ask to see it in writing. Ask to see that they have put in writing that you will be performing 15 minutes unpaid work every day. Check your contract.
Spoiler: They haven’t. ‘cos it’s illegal.
Absolutely agree. This is really common in the US as well, and I’ve yet to see it written anywhere.
“Can white women and women of color find common ground when the conditions each live under are so fundamentally different? What long-term benefits can we hope for from #MeToo when white women have not yet accounted for the history of their tears being used to condemn innocent men of color—how do we move on from centuries of white women weaponizing their tears against us to a future where we believe all women?”
