*TRIGGER WARNING FOR MURDER, GUN VIOLENCE, MURDER APOLOGISM*
WOW! This is a “We Love Jake Evans” tumblr?!??!
YO! The child murdered his WHOLE FAMILY in cold blood. WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT.
i thought that other post was joking about this
seriously??
Suburban white kids need more hobbies.
For writers: I’m dropping off a link to a site about body language.
I’ve found it very useful for my writing over the years. The site itself isn’t all that lovely to look at, but the information is great. It’s always good to know how to convey a particular emotion through the body instead of just flat out telling readers that a character looked sad or seemed upset.
Wait, we can not break bread with you. You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides, and you will play golf. My people will have pain and degradation. Your people will have stick shifts. The gods of my tribe have spoken. They said do not trust the pilgrims. And especially do not trust Sarah Miller. For all these reasons I have decided to scalp you and burn your village to the ground.
Happy Thanksgiving, my fellow Canadians! And listen to Wednesday Addams.
I mean, without a doubt what she says is true and all, but when you really think about it, the whole scene is very fucked up. Wednesday Addams was a white girl appropriating the clothing and the voice of Natives, AKA the “other”, not so as to protest the mistreatment of Natives by the colonizing Europeans (which, even if that was what she was doing, I’d still be against her methods), but so as to make a really entitled and fucked up comparison between herself and her gang o’ freaks as the oppressed “other” and Sarah Miller and her Rich Popular Preppy Friends as the norm they are raging against. This is a device we often see in Hollywood films with white girls who’s families come from missionaries or villages or tribes among people of color and are, just like those magical exotic people of color, oppressed outsiders! It isn’t really about calling out whiteness (though they do to an extent) so much as whiteness trying to appropriate struggles, make really false entitled conflations (“I speak Spanish and once my family went to Caribbean and I totally felt at home with the Natives so I am JUST like you!”) so as to be a special snowflake.
What’s more, in the scene, there are actual POC children*(I don’t want to say they’re Native American but they look like they probably are indigenous.) who are just pushed at the side while Wednesday runs her mouth and looks like the hero telling THEIR tales. That’s because again, this isn’t really about them anyways, this is about Wednesday looking valiant in the face of snooty snobby pretentious Sarah Miller, her oppressor rival. Else, why the fuck are we listening to Wednesday Addams, who is coming all wrong anyways, and not the native children themselves?
What’s EVEN more fucked up is that even in this alleged “positive” depiction of a native person/struggles, in the end of the scene, Wednesday and her friends then default to the fucked up and wholly wrong stereotype of natives as being those angry, violent, savages who scalp poor pure white girls and attack the pilgrims. First off-Natives people ARE NOT a monolith. While some were war-faring, others yet were so peaceful and non-violent, they did not even believe in fighting against those that attacked them. The Taino (which means ‘good’ in Arawak) of the Dominican Republic, the first to ever meet with the genocidal colonizers, were so kind and welcoming, even that columbus fuck himself spoke well of them and came to deeply regret the way he destroyed them and ravaged their culture. Hell, maybe if they were a bit more war-faring it would’ve scared Europeans off and saved the whole continent the grief! Anyways, The “cannibalistic scalping savage” stereotype was initially created so as to justify their subjugation, and to paint the Europeans as civilized victims. The thing of it is, all of the Native peoples, regardless of how war-faring or peaceful or whatever they might have been, had long-established, thriving, nuanced, individualistic societies, cultures, habits, traditions, beliefs, governments, systems, and territories that were theirs to have and worked for them and self-determination and autonomy that should’ve been respected. All of that was dismissed, spit upon, destroyed, and exploited by Europeans. It doesn’t matter if Europeans thought them “civil” or not, it wasn’t their place to come in and kill them off and steal their land.
This scene merely exploits all of that for whiteness’ sake, and that’s not cool.
*You can miss me with how in white media, POC youths are “othered” on level with the fucking white goth kid who drinks blood. “You like to carve pentagrams into the desk, you’re first generation Chinese, wow, we’re all such fuck ups and misfits!”
Just A Quick Note to Atheists (From an Atheist)
Being an atheist does not erase privilege.
This includes white privilege.
This also includes cis privilege, CNDP privilege, and het privilege.
Seriously, being an atheist does not erase your white privilege.
Criticizing exclusively (majority) non-white religions is racist.
This includes Islam.
The existence of white Muslims does not invalidate this point.
Black Christianity is not always hetereosexist.
Black people are not the most heterosexist heterosexists that ever heterosexisted.
Black queer/gay/lesbian/non-straight/pansexual/asexual people exist too.
Mestiz@s are not the root cause of sexism.
Neither is Latin American Christianity.
You do realize Christianity was imported, right?
Atheists are not the only oppressed religious group.
Muslims are oppressed too.
Often by white atheists.
Islam is not evil.
Neither are hijabs or niqabs.
Neither is Vodun/voodoo/hoodoo.
Neither is any other religion…
…unless it’s World Church of the Creator / The Creativity Movement…
Which is white supremacist.
…or the Westboro Baptist Church.
Who even the KKK hates.
Evolutionary psychology is sexist, racist, cissexist, ableist, and heterosexist.
This includes evolutionary psychology that (supposedly) supports atheism.
Supporting evo-psych means
You have not done your homework, or
You are prejudiced.
Other people’s clothing is not your business.
Including religious articles of clothing.
Including hijabs, headwraps, niqabs, burkas, crosses, crucifixes, pentacles, and other symbols.
Even if you really don’t like it.
Even if it’s really religious.
Acknowledge other people’s identities.
Even if you’re uncomfortable with them.
Especially if you’re uncomfortable,
Because they have racial, sexual, cultural, or disabled identity
Paganism is not ‘atheism-lite’.
Neither is agnosticism.
Neither are indigenous religions.
There is no such thing as ‘ironic’ bigotry.
Unless it’s atheists whining about Christmas.
Seriously, I thought only evangelicals did that.
Trans people are not your special little puzzles.
Neither are autistic / disabled people.
I don’t care if you’re a scientist. We’re still not your Rubik’s Cubes.
Not everything should be about science.
There. I said it.
PoC are not the reason why a lot of people are wary of atheists.
It’s because of white/het/cis/CND atheists.
Yes, including you.
Demanding people educate you is oppressive.
Even if you’re ‘being really nice about it’.
Nice =/= good.
Religions are not inherently oppressive.
Did you know that hijabs and niqabs are cultural?
And that many women find them liberating?
Using emotion in writing, reasoning, the internet, or decision-making does not mean one is stupid/dumb/monkey-like/less-evolved/other ableist, racist, eugenicist terms.
It means one is a fucking human being.
Disability is not a flaw in evolution.
Disabled people will not die out with evolution.
Fuck you.
Being atheist does not mean you are automatically not allistic.
If you don’t know what that means, look it up.
You can use Google.
Being a queer atheist does not make you white.
Seriously, enough with this racist bullshit.
Cultural appropriation is also done by atheists.
Deal with it.
There are no purple people.
You should know this.
Making fun of ‘them crazy darkies doin’ their ridick voodoo’ is racist, ableist, and the reason why a LOT of black atheists will not have anything to do with you.
Satire is a tool that works when aimed upwards, at the most powerful people.
Black people are not the most powerful people.
Especially black people practicing voodoo.
No religion is more ridiculous than any other.
Including Mormonism.
…but some have more power, and are therefore better to make fun of.
Like Mormonism.
Being colorblind is only okay if you literally cannot see or distinguish colors.
Otherwise, it’s racist.
Religions derive strength and power from the social power of their followers.
Which is why evangelical Christianity is a better target than Black Christianity.
Being an agnostic (or bisexual) is not ‘taking the easy way out’.
Really, now?
Monosexism is real.
How do I know?
You’re doing it right now.
And yes, queer can be a term for polysexual.
If you think black people are mean to you,
You’re probably white,
And won’t say you are
Because white people never say they’re white.
The terms ‘hermophradite’ ‘third sex’ and ‘biological gender’ are
Essentialist,
Bigoted,
Cissexist,
Anti-intersex
And not up for debate.
If you refuse to identify your privileged identities,
I’m going to assume you just think you’re ‘normal’
And moderate you.
Refusing to acknowledge the power of environment and social structure
Is bigoted
And means you’re a biological essentialist.
Intersex people exist.
Deal with it.
And no, they are not ‘miracles of evolution’.
I thought you didn’t believe in miracles.
Freedom does not just mean ‘freedom to be an atheist and make the choices I would make’. It means freedom to make even choices I don’t like.
Including religious choices.
Social justice / social uprooting / anti-oppression is not about you and your feelings.
Nobody cares about white guilt.
Making everything about your feelings is oppressive.
If you’re offended,
Get over it.
Realize that being offended is much better than being oppressed.
Reblogging again because THE WHOLE THING.

fastcompany:
A university in Denmark has created a circular dorm that will make you incredibly frustrated at the tiny double room where you spent your college years. Bet you didn’t have french windows, balconies, and a bike workshop.
More photos: The College Dorm You Wish You Lived In
Man fuck this place. My college dorm looked like the room from the first Saw movie.
ain’t this bout a bitch!! our dorms looked like the fuckin projects
LIU’s dorms look like the projects
All the more to showcase how America feels about students seeking higher education.
My dorm looked like a room in a mental ward sans padded walls. And the bathroom window never closed so in the winter showers sucked because you always ran the risk of catching pneumonia or hypothermia if you stayed in there.
Gloria Steinem is a Transmisogynist
[serious trigger warning: very cissexist and transmisogynistic language]
In Gloria Steinem’s Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions (1995),there’s a brief five page essay on trans identities (224-228). It’s basically terrible. Let me quote a few parts:
Was it fair for women to face someone trained physically and culturally for forty years as a man? (226)
She argues that it’s a kind of “mutilation” and appeal to a gender binary:
In other words, transsexuals are paying an extreme tribute to the power of sex roles. In order to set their real human personalities free, they surgically mutilate their own bodies… (227)
She even goes as far as to suggest that valuable resources are being wasted on trans folk, in this weird, backwards way as if we are poor little victims:
Instead of serving more lifesaving but often less lucrative needs for their surgical and hormone-therapy skills, some physicians are aiding individuals who are desperately trying to conform to an unjust society. It’s a small group of successful physicians she [Janice Raymond] names ‘the transsexual empire’.
She cites Janice Raymond’sThe Transsexual Empire(1979) several times in this essay.
She has apparently denied this charge of cissexism before, as recently as 2008, but it’s right here in this book, without apology, and it is still getting printed and published today.
Just a warning for people who think the 3rd wave has gotten better…some of those (very powerful) people are still around today saying the same ol’ bullshit.
Appropriators hate the word "No"
At the end of the day, appropriators show their asses because they’re more concerned about being angry that POC dared to say “No” to them, than anything else - NEVER do you see them stepping up to fight against all the backlash and discrimination POC receive, when they do those same cultural practices.
You can show up to goggle at Black church choir- you’re not there when the place is firebombed.
You can demand to get to wear dreads - you don’t even know about natural hair discrimination in the workplace.
You want to be a “Native shaman” - you don’t know jack about the residential schools or the current state of the tribe (or even what tribe) you’re appropriating from.
Etc. etc.
If you think all these things “are cool” why don’t you help the people who originated these practices/fashions/beliefs BE ALLOWED TO PRACTICE THEM? (and that’s before we even GET to the part of them choosing how and where and who gets to practice these things…)
Oh, that’s because it’s all about you, really.
And that’s where you show your white supremacy and domination attitude - you’re more invested in making sure that the world cheers you on for donning the practices of others like a fashion or a toy or a hobby, than you are about the survival of the practice itself.
And suddenly we’ve got white jazz and white rock and roll.
You’re not celebrating culture, you’re celebrating conquest. Cultural genocide, we see you.
MEN DON’T HAVE BODY POSITIVITY?
MEN? DON’T? HAVE? BODY? POSITIVITY?
SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHY MEN ARE ALLOWED TO BE FAT SLOPPY NERDS IN ALMOST EVERY FUCKING MOVIE? CAN YOU TELL ME WHY JONAH HILL’S ASS WAS ALLOWED TO BE IN 25 DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE SAME MOVIE WHILE GABBY SIDIBE STILL HASN’T BEEN SEEN SINCE PRECIOUS AND NIKKI BLONSKY HAD TO RETURN TO HER OLD JOB AFTER HAIRSPRAY WAS COMPLETED (BECAUSE SHE COULDN’T FIND ACTING ROLES?)
CAN YOU TELL ME WHY MORE ACTUAL PRODUCTS ARE CREATED TO PLUCK AND SHAPE AND FORM WOMEN WHEN ALL MEN HAVE TO DO TO CHANGE THEIR APPEARANCE TO BE SEEN AS MORE ATTRACTIVE IS MAYBE SHAVE OR CUT THEIR GODDAMN HAIR?
WHITE BOYS ARE WILDIN RIGHT NOW, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

friendly reminder that no one has to like children, no one has to want children, no one has to think children (not even your children!) are special, no one is obligated to reproduce, and disliking children does not make you a violent sociopath
[“The More You Know” GIF]
I saw a car with those “stick figure family” stickers, and it was just a man and a woman. It made me so happy.
But did they have big bags of money?
I mostly agree with the OP, but if you dislike all children just for being children, you should still have enough respect for them as human beings to shut up about how much you hate them.
Reblogged for the bolded above.
Nope it is a beautiful holiday Monday in my neck of the woods (Canada, Toronto specifically).
