We have got to stop framing our oppression in ways that promote the idea that other people cannot relate to our struggles. Not only does it isolate comrades in the struggle, it actively diminishes recognition of other struggles--often including those even more horrific than what we are at risk of. And this happens especially between Gay and Black struggles.

"when have straight people ever had to check what states were safe for them?" Sundown towns are still a thing. Starlight tours. What states have abortion access? What states have open carry? What states have stand your ground? What states have 3-strike rules? Women, people of color, disabled people, immigrants, and more have had to be abundantly cautious where they travel to. Straight trans people have much more travel risk right now than gay cis people.

It's a new iteration of the same tired question: "imagine if straight people weren't allowed to marry" interracial marriage in the US is younger than my parents. We disgrace people of color by forgetting their history and contemporary struggles, and we abandon queer people of color, Black queer people, by segmenting their overlapping fights.

As lovelyshananigans says, "intersectionality, babes"

[starlightshadowsworld]

A lot of White queers have this thing about needing to be the most oppressed person in the room and can’t handle when other minority groups go through similar struggles that they think are unique to them.

It gives me the same vibe as those dystopian books that are like hey what if this awful thing that’s been happening to POC for centuries suddenly happened to white people 👀 that’d be so scary.

But when you point that out suddenly they can’t find it in themselves to feel any sense of sympathy or horror because you know it’s not white people that are suffering.

Same here with the queer community they only care about shit that affects white queers and only white queers and the amount of racism within those spaces is just wild.

Not to mention the ableism like I’ve yet to hear of a pride event that was actually accessible. Also you know god forbid you bring up that disabled people don’t have marriage equality and often have to choose between love and their own survival.

And now I’m not American but even I know about Sundown towns. You lot love to bring up Stonewall but wasn’t that started by a Black Trans Woman? Wasn’t International Asexuality Day co founded by a Black British Asexual woman?

You sit here and you pinkwash our histories and pretend we only have queer rights because of colonisation. You dismiss labels like Two Spirit that Native Americans have used for centuries the second you get called out for trying to use that label for yourselves.

You can have long nuanced discussions with these people about being out and being in the closet. But for some fucking reason they cannot fathom the fact that POC and visibly disabled people can’t just fucking hide that shit.

And if you bring up that a lot of them can and that no one would know they were queer unless they told someone cause hey that’s what being in the closest means, they get so unbelievably pissed about it.

I’m sorry that you can hide that your gay but I cannot hide my fucking skin and Bilal over there can’t hide his fucking feeding tube, what?

The amount of POC queers that have said that they genuinely experience more racism from white queers than any other group should be eye opening.

But unfortunately many of you do not give a fuck about people who aren’t you. And then you wonder why so many of you turn out to be really conservative and on the hard right.

so venezuela has become a usamerican colony. like that happened and everything carried on like normal

[secondquarrel]

like i know venezuela is going through a huge humanitarian crisis right now and their political regime is low in the list of priorities when tallinmg about it obviously it's just it shocked me to read trump congratulating his secretary of energy on how well he's running what used to be a sovereign country until a few months back you know

[ralfmaximus]

He wants to do that to Canada, Cuba, and Greenland too and is simply shocked that it hasn't happened yet.

[nudityandnerdery]

And like all colonization, it's about stealing their money and leaving the nation impoverished.

Trump's administration has made billions in revenue from Venezuelan oil, but it's proving tricky to work out where that money has gone.

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

[ignitelimelight]

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Yes, nonblack people can reblog. I'd appreciate it, in fact, if y'all took the time to vocally support your Black friends/fans in fandom.

lot of people are going to be sent careening three posts down their dash and crashing into a brick wall because of this post

Submitted Prompts #167

Clark always wondered how Lois accepted all the craziness of his life so easily, but when he went with her to the annual Fenton family reunion and reacted casually to her cousin suddenly having a twelve year old daughter she never met before it suddenly clicked

[stealingyourbones]

It turns out Danny and Jazz aren't the only ones keeping secrets about their biology…for a given measure of "keeping secrets." After a reveal gone right, Jack and Maddie casually drop the bomb that both kids are clones/test tube babies using DNA belonging to neither Fenton parent, thinking they'd already told the kids as much. Working with ectoplasm so much unintentionally sterilized the both of them down to their very chromosomes, but they'd still wanted very badly to be parents. Now Danny and Jazz get to convince their parents to go on a family road trip to visit the gene donors and inform them of the kids' presence. No adoption necessary, no villainous plotting involved in the kids' creations, just the most unethical-but-well-meaning couple on the continent and their kids who had to get their common sense from somewhere.

This is gonna end in chaos.

(Dealer's choice for whose DNA got yoinked, but I personally think it would be extremely funny if the Fentons decided on the JL's heavy hitters' civilian IDs/associates purely by chance, without a single clue as to their super identities/allies.)
