media literacy this, media literacy that. y'all need some fucking racial literacy. globally that shit is in the trenches. the average person can't explain the difference between race and ethnicity. allyuh still think yt passing and yt presenting is the same thing. allyuh still think racism is just calling a black person the n word and that reverse racism exists between yt folks and the global majority. be confused as hell when the topics of colorism, texturism and featurism come up. the majority of you are using botched and butchered aave when half of you have neither seen nor spoken to a black american person in your life, and don't even understand what the fuck you're saying besides. y'all don't recognize dog whistles unless they're explicitly pointed out to you and even then you deny and say that the meaning isn't antiblackness or bigotry. y'all still trying to engage in debates with people about black characters' right to exist in 2024 with bad faith instigators. allyuh can't recognize the disposable black girlfriend trope even though that trope is older than a significant portion of the users on this very app and beyond.

like we need to fix media literacy, but racial literacy is a major reason it is the way it is because a significant amount of you don't ever want to bring race into anything, and get mad when we as black people do.

Please take a moment to read this. A Canadian company wants to build a sulfide copper mine near Lake Superior, which holds 21% of the world’s freshwater. The mine would produce 98.5% toxic waste, stored in a dam just two miles from the lake. The dam can only withstand a 1-in-100-year storm, but the area has had two 1-in-1,000-year storms in the past decade. If it breaks, toxic water could flood the lake. Copper sulfide mines in the U.S. have consistently contaminated nearby water sources, and this mine could hurt local communities with lower employment, income, and property values. The company wants $50 million in taxpayer funding to move forward. The Michigan Senate is about to vote, if they don’t get the funding they can’t build it.

Sign this petition if you want to prevent this disaster by searching “Protect the Porkies, Protect Lake Superior— Stop the Copperwood Mine!” at change.org.

Protect the Porkies, Protect Lake Superior— Stop the Copperwood Mine!

Crowds of families, tourists and local folks paused on that sunny Saturday in September, watching the group curiously as it passed. Was this a protest or a celebration, they wondered. It was neither. It was ceremony, a walking prayer of gratitude and acknowledgement of the essential role clean water plays in life on the planet. Such a message would seem to offer a universal spiritual appeal. But deep in the Upper Peninsula’s mining country where generations of European immigrants have depended on digging copper and iron ore from the earth for more than a century, such a prayer had a whiff of blasphemy.

“This goes all the way back to the 19th century with fur trading, timber, iron and copper mining; if there’s any environmental fallout the folks who ran the operation aren’t around to pay for the cleanup,” said Tom Grotewohl, a resident of Wakefield Township and founder of Protect the Porkies, a nonprofit organization opposing the mines that draws its name from the Porcupine Mountains, known as the Porkies, in the Upper Peninsula.

“Mining is a false tradition,” Grotewohl told ICT. “A tradition is something that everyone can benefit from and share equally.” The Copperwood Mine Project is emblematic of a global struggle to address climate change and support the clean energy industry without further damaging the environment and treading on Indigenous rights. The demand for energy transition minerals such as copper, lithium, cobalt and nickel disproportionately affects Indigenous peoples and lands.

last year when i posted this people melted down and went out of their way to misinterpret the purpose of this exercise and just say insane racist shit; the goal is to get you to reflect on whether or not you engage with black music and black art and artists, and if you seem to avoid doing so, to ask yourself why that is

if you would like, feel free to share the song/artist in the tags to share recs! always easier to begin or continue diversifying your listening habits with suggestions :)

Hey since TERFs buried the original, higher quality recording, here’s the only surviving recording of trans activist Sylvia Rivera’s infamous “Y'all Better Quiet Down” speech, along with full transcription, now free and open on Archive.org. The transphobic fucks can try their best to scrub us from history, but we’re not going anywhere.

something that really sucks about being an artist on the internet in 2024 is that a lot of people don't know how to respond to art anymore. not ALL people, but a noticeable amount of them. they look at a piece of art that you made, that you care about and put time and effort and love into, and they'll say "wow! this is just like [THING YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF]!" or "omg! it's exactly like [THING THAT ONLY HAS SURFACE LEVEL SIMILARITIES AT BEST]!" and i know those people don't have bad intentions. they're trying to say that they liked what you made. but that's not how it comes off. it comes off as reductive. as dismissive. and the worst thing about it is, if they simply ASKED what my inspiration was, then i'd love to tell them. no art is without a muse and we're all impacted by our experiences. my problem with this type of response is the assumption, and oftentimes the insistence that your thing MUST be based on or inspired by this other thing. that they only value your thing BECAUSE they can make some weird connection to something that is, 99% of the time, either unintentional or entirely unrelated. it just hurts. what did you like about my thing? did you like the colors, the composition? did you like how it made you feel? those types of reflections are so much more valuable than "your story/character/etc reminds me of [other story/character/etc]". and i hope you can understand why.

So Israel is using weaponry that makes smoke burst from people’s heads. You think I’m joking but it literally looks like steam being released from a pressure valve except replace the valve with a child’s fucking head.

They are using weaponry that reportedly make people evaporate on the scene. This sounds like some cartoon shit but I’m just repeating reports from eyewitnesses.
