ppl with tumblr blogs older than 7 yrs old have been getting deleted randomly in the epitome of Functional Website so given this blog is from 2012 if i disappear suddenly, know i did not purposefully delete
i just found out merriam webster has a time traveler feature that tells you some of the words that were “born” the same year as you. it’s pretty neat yall should do this
So it was a white woman who killed Botham Jean, and a white woman who killed Dante Wright, and it’s been white women at the center of almost every video of someone unjustly calling the police on black people, and it’s white women who have been directly or indirectly responsible for many horrific massacres of black peoples across the US like the one in Wilmington and the famous Tulsa massacre, and it’s white women who have a deep history of weaponizing their white womanhood by falsely accusing black men of rape even so much as to accuse black children like emmet till which resulted in the entire civil rights movement, and white women who constructed the idea of preserving the confederacy, and it’s white women who have gained freedom by steeping on the backs of black women, and white women who have fought to preserve the racist ideals of the 50s Nuclear family, and the list goes on and on and on and on.
So are we ready to talk about how white women are not incidental participants in white supremacy but rather the architectures and safe-guards of it?
I know I don’t have many followers, and I’m not super active in the fandom I’m in. But, I’m really desperate, so I’m going to try anyway
I’m 22 year old gay woman stuck in an abusive home. I’m mentally disabled, and although I’m getting treatment, I’m not well enough to work full time, and I’m in the process of applying for disability, but I’m not sure how long it’ll take. A few months, at least.
My abusive mother has threatened to kick me and my friend out, but we have little money and nowhere to go. And I fear for our wellbeing if we stay here. I’m scared and I don’t know what to do.
I know most of us are struggling with money in this day and age, and probably don’t have a lot to spare. But if you do, I would be thankful for even just a dollar. If you don’t, that’s perfectly okay, but please consider reblogging this post so others can see.
This will help me afford food and gas (we have to get our own food separately from my mother and step dad), and maybe even get us a step closer to getting out of here.

Apparently, Sunday, April 11, is the day white people across the country have set aside for white fragility rallies where the melanin-have-nots will gather and lament the difficulties faced by the white race in America while eating unseasoned green bean casserole and discussing how the “trickle-down effect” refers to why the washing of legs in the shower is completely unnecessary.
OK, so I’m just guessing on most of that.
What’s true is that officials from multiple cities across the nation are preparing for White Lives Matter rallies that are supposedly taking place on the 11th and have been planned by white supremacists online.
From Newsweek:

The white supremacist rallies are being discussed on social media and encrypted messaging app Telegram, with dozens of events planned to take place at 1 p.m. in cities including New York, Fort Worth, Texas, and Chicago, Illinois.
The details surrounding the marches are minimal, with a majority not providing details such as a specific location. Many dedicated channels for marches in cities also only have a few subscribers and barely any discussion.
There is no real suggestion the marches—if they even take place—will be anywhere near as highly attended as the deadly “Unite the Right” in which thousands of neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members and far-right extremists took to the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017.
However, police forces in cities where an actual location has been discussed online are bracing themselves for any potential violence stemming from the event or counter-protest against it.
In North Carolina, there are two planned white supremacist marches taking place at the same time on April 11—at Nash Square in Raleigh and The Zebulon Baird Vance Monument in Asheville.
In California, officials are reportedly preparing for a White Lives Matter march, which is supposedly taking place in front of the Huntington Beach Pier.
According to Newsweek, the Huntington Beach Police Department said in a statement that it is planning to keep the peace during the rally while “preserving the participants’ ability to exercise their constitutional rights regardless of the message or ideology.”
The statement also said that officials “hope events such as this will serve as an opportunity for unity rather than a platform to spread hate, bigotry and division,” because, apparently, nobody in the department’s statement-writing wing had it in them to say: “Nah, this is going to be a neo-Nazi block party where participants receive swag-bags full of used nooses and bars of soap that read ‘TF is a washcloth?’” (Again, I’m guessing)
So, whatever; let the whiny wypipo brigade have their little “you can pry my supremacy from my cold dead hands” rally. In fact, here’s a short list of activities I recommend for such an event:
1. A cross-burning completion. (Extra points if they start the blaze by farting on their tiki torches.)
2. A Civil War reenactment where both sides are from the Confederacy and instead of replaying the war, they do redneck line dance versions of scenes from You Got Served. (And if they do reenact the war—I’m just saying if someone forgot to use blanks instead of live ammo, I wouldn’t be mad).
3. Trivial Pursuit, Food Seasoning Edition. (I won’t stop watching this until someone shouts “Who the fuck is Paprika and why don’t they go back to their own country?”)
4. Taking baths with dogs. (Which is gross AF because, I mean, come on, those dogs have no idea where these white people have been.)
5. Mud wrestling...but in vats of mayonnaise.
6. Hatfields and McCoys-themed trailer park prom.
7. A riot at the U.S. Capitol. (Wait, they already did that one.)
8. KKK arts and crafts.
Now this one is tricky because the last time such an event took place they tried to have one person do all the work and then everybody got mad at how their new accessories turned out. Here’s video footage of that event:
Anyway, I have more suggestions, but I’m tired of white people stealing Black ideas, so I’m keeping them to myself.
Happy White Lives Matter Day everyone; ‘tis the season to celebrate the seasonless
It’s important to know that hijab is banned in schools in most of the european countries, such as france, belgium, switzerland etc. Millions of girls have to take their hijab off everyday in order to have access to education, and I am one of them. Please spread this as much as possible, it has become so normal here that I feel like a fool for even mentioning it, but I’m pretty sure it goes against the human rights. This senseless law has been on since 2004 and pretends that all the students have to be “equal” and it is prohibited to show that you belong to any religion, any religious sign must be set aside. However, most of us have to take our hijab off in schools where you can clearly see a christmas tree or a christian cross. “Yeah but it’s not the same”, they say. Tell me about double standards. I pray for days when we don’t have to chose between religion and education.
This, but don’t read the notes. It’s all just French people and/or Catholics going “I’m totally not racist or antisemitic, it’s just that I think that Xmas, a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, is secular, whereas a Muslim or Jew wearing a hijab or kippah is somehow forcing their religion on me by existing in public.” LOL

People who “want trauma” are recognizing, on some level, that they were traumatized but in a way that’s not “socially recognized” as trauma. What they really want is for people to see that they’ve been traumatized and be on their side
I think it’s also important to talk about mental illness, and how the pain and trauma of being mentally ill as a kid is often diminished because of the lack of outside actors. If you spent your childhood being suicidally depressed because your wee little kiddo brain decided to be a chemical shitshow, it doesn’t matter how much mom and dad loved you, that kinda thing fucks you up. And having people only look at your external surroundings and argue that “nothing bad happened” ignores all the pain you went through internally. So wishing you could have something external you could point to in order to justify that pain and enduring stress -- just so people could understand -- makes sense.
