still so confused that the big critical read of steven universe is that it’s message is a “’anyone can be redeemed if you make the effort’, but the villains aren’t developed enough for that to feel meaningful” sort of thing, and not like… an allegory about struggling with a rigid perception of self identity in which the antagonists are used to highlight that

[nyctosaurid]

like.. you guys… it’s a story concerned almost exclusively with identity and how that effects people…  the point isn’t that the antagonists are sad so you should feel bad for them, it’s that they adhere so stringently to their idea of what they should be that they can’t cope once they no longer fit into their own boxes… it’s a show aimed at 12-14 year olds, the age when people usually start to grapple with those sort of complex ideas of identity… aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

In 2008, right wing media was Fox News and Drudge Report. Smartphones were luxury items. Facebook was still how you connected with your college roomates. Obama’s platform was extremely moderate, he is a once in several lifetimes orator, Biden helped him win white voters in Ohio and Pennyslvania. Bush was deeply unpopular. Shelby v. Holder hadn’t been decided.

Right wing media exploded BECAUSE OF OBAMA’S VICTORY, and was strengthened as smartphones became more accessible and apps and right wing media expanded. Obama became even more unpopular when he said that he looked like Trayvon Martin as a teenager.

A moderate Black man with an incredible organizing team, running against an aging senator and batshit VP, and a bland oligarch stuffed suit, with no increases in voter suppression and a right wing smear machine was able to be elected twice. But there is a long term revolt due to the fact that he discussed the impact of racism in America and because Black Lives Matter mobilized during his presidency.

CNN referred to Native Americans as “something else” on their voter demographic poll last night. The poll on the screen read like this:

White

Black

Latino

Something else

Asian

We weren’t declared as citizens of our own stolen land until 1924. We didn’t get the right to vote (in all states) until the early 1960’s.

And yet non-natives can’t even refer us as Indigenous people when we’re a part of the electoral process.

Y’all wanna know why Arizona flipped blue?

The Navajo and Pima/O’Odham (one of my tribes!!!) communities have been crucial in flipping this state. the Native vote in Arizona was MASSIVE - no doubt to the impact Covid has had on our communities there. I’m going to look at other blue-flipped states but what I’m seeing so far is that Natives have been critical for the Democratic vote regardless of voter suppression tactics designed to keep Natives away from the polls.

I also noticed that CNN started running ads raising awareness for Covid impact on Navajo territories and my thoughts are: 1) it doesn’t fix the mistake you made by calling us “something else” 2) the Navajo/Diné are not the only natives on that territory and the other tribes (including mine) deserve to be officially recognized.

Posting a black square and marching once a year in a pink hat turns out not to be sufficient allyship, as Black women have been stating all along! The percentage of white women who voted for Trump is estimated to surpass that of 2016! Allies, you must continue to do more and do better, first by acknowledging that white women have always played a central role in upholding white supremacy and that racism, homophobia, and transphobia are not opinions and have no place in feminist movements. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHOsRUGB-7q/?igshid=1ktxnaglxr54s
