do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

so exhausted by how fundamentally anti-human the capitalist world has become. like ageing, getting fat, being slightly inefficient, and making mediocre art are all extremely normal and extremely human activities, why is every corporation trying to convince us to spend all our money fighting that

Saw this book recommended, so I'm passing it on!

Racial Innocence by Tanya Katerí Hernández: 9780807020135 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

“Profound and revelatory, Racial Innocence tackles head-on the insidious grip of white supremacy on our communities and how we all might fre

Racial Innocence will challenge what you thought about racism and bias and demonstrate that it’s possible for a historically marginalized group to experience discrimination and also be discriminatory. Racism is deeply complex, and law professor and comparative race relations expert Tanya Katerí Hernández exposes “the Latino racial innocence cloak” that often veils Latino complicity in racism.

As Latinos are the second-largest ethnic group in the US, this revelation is critical to dismantling systemic racism. Basing her work on interviews, discrimination case files, and civil rights law, Hernández reveals Latino anti-Black bias in the workplace, the housing market, schools, places of recreation, the criminal justice system, and Latino families.

By focusing on racism perpetrated by communities outside those of White non-Latino people, Racial Innocence brings to light the many Afro-Latino and African American victims of anti-Blackness at the hands of other people of color. Through exploring the interwoven fabric of discrimination and examining the cause of these issues, we can begin to move toward a more egalitarian society.

The quote at the bottom about Latino leaders of white supremacist groups really is a good one. There's a conversation to be had about how people believe "Latino" automatically means "not white" (even though it's not a race), and that Latinos are incapable of antiblackness due to their own complex relationships with race and Whiteness. Conversations better held by Latinos- particularly Afro-Latinos- than I, but certainly something I feel is a constant misunderstanding (maybe even purposeful) that doesn't help.

Them slowly limiting how much you can tweet and forcing you to pay a premium to do so is the testing ground for other social media sites btw.

Since they can't inundate us with ads to force us into SaaS-based internet usage, they are slowly making free internet usage more limited and cumbersome.

Every single one of the tech CEOs who own these sites is waiting and are hedging bets on the outcome of this gutsy but 100% dick move. Because if people give in and start paying for premium just to tweet more than 50 times a day, it won't be long before the other social media sites follow suit.

So keep an eye on this and don't give in no matter what they do.

Thank you, Black people in fandom spaces. Thank you, Black creators and Black lurkers. Thank you Black artists, Black writers. Thank you, Black bloggers, Black influencers. Shoutout to those Black characters, both canon and original. Thank you, Black people, both queer and cishet.

Your perspectives matter. Your representation matters. You are not bothersome for demanding equal treatment in fandom. It is not your responsibility to make fandom more welcoming and inclusive to you. It is not your sole responsibility to create all of the Black-centered content. You are not "ruining" anyone's fun for demanding better for yourself, and anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves. Any fandom worth being a part of should have no room for racism in it.

Black people in fandom, you are wanted. You are needed. You are loved and appreciated. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

And since they don't get told it near enough, thank you, Black women especially!!!
