gay on main @lwls - Tumblr Blog

In honor of Britney Spears’ birthday (December 2), I want to remind everyone that this woman was publically ostracized for struggling with the onset of mental illness, divorce, and losing custody of her children after years of media scrutiny and hypersexualization starting at the age of 17. No, she is not just a crazy woman who shaved her head. She’s the victim of an industry that loves to build a woman up before tearing her down.

it’s so difficult not being able to use milennial humor in a corporate setting. like i made a mistake today and i wanted to tell my supervisor it’s because i suffer from Dumb Bitch Disease, but do you think that would fly?? fuck no. i gotta say shit like, “sorry for the misunderstanding!” i can’t wait till the workforce is made up entirely of millennials and i can say “sorry i drank idiot juice for breakfast this morning” and my coworkers will be like “oh worm.”

Ariana Grande using Kris Kardashian in her video is so perfectly fitting considering how both she and the Kardashians/Jenners use fake tans and stolen black culture to make themselves seem more ethnically ambiguous and trendy for money

(you know, kind of like how minstrels did…)

and let me be clear, I’m not calling these women minstrels per se, but it’s infuriating how people here can celebrate them as empowering feminist icons when they’re blatantly masquerading around in modernized blackface.

consider this: minstrel shows were trendy and popular back then, too.

just because something is the “norm” and aimed at the lowest common denominator to make a quick buck doesn’t make it right. these people aren’t your friends, they’re using you to make money.

do better.

I’m glad that tumblr is moving onto it’s labor rights phrase but if you’re going to strike you need

clear and concrete demands (i.e. $15 an hour minimum wage, paid sick time, the ability to recieve your schedule a month in advance, etc)

unity. one person skipping work is not gonna make a difference. you’ll just be fired. an entire workplace striking will yield results

mutual aid. if y'all striking y'all not gonna get paid and people have bills and children. you need to raise money for a strike, find a sympathetic rich person or unionize and pay dues

this is not an overnight process. it can take months or years and if you live in major metropolitan area there’s probably already a committee of some sort (DM if you live in New Orleans and want to join one) if not you can form one or join the iww. you can’t just tell people to not show up for work with no plan. because most people aren’t gonna do that.

you know im not trying to call anyone out or w/e but this is the type of dialogue around mental illness on this site that i think is really unhelpful. the original post has over 100k notes. why do so many people experience life as something so soul crushing that they spend every second of their day wanting to sleep and then lie awake at night trying to prevent tomorrow? not to get marxist on main but i would suggest that the op points to the misery that work under capitalism creates for a lot of people and to just be like “all of these people have an individual pathology and its not ‘normal’” i feel really undermines our ability to talk about *why* so many people are depressed

Remember today when you see 100+ articles about how ‘civil’ and ‘noble’ H.W. Bush was that today is World AIDS Day. That 100,000 people, many LGBT+ individuals, especially gay men, died under his and Reagan’s watch. That he banned HIV+ people from entering the US, reduced research funding, and prevented educators from speaking about safe sex in favor of abstinence only education.
