hold on i need to talk about the wasian "discourse" on instagram because it's driving me up a wall and I need to just word vomit for a second. Was the "wasian meet up" weird and exclusionary? Yes it was, I totally get what people mean when they say they got weird vibes from it. Is the reason wasians having a spotlight in pop culture right now due to our proximity to whiteness? Also yes. But that's not inherently a problem with wasians, we're not choosing to center our whiteness by existing (although wasians can center their whiteness the act of just existing is not that) that is 100% on the media if they choose to center our whiteness over us being asian.

Also the way I've seen people imply we aren't actually asian or bipoc is so fucking racist, I'm not gonna sit here and pretend it's not fucking racist (and to be clear I'm not saying nor implying that this is a experience specific to wasians)

While I do think there's a lot of colorism and internalized racism in the wasian community and there are valid criticisms being brought up that's not an excuse to deny us our asian identity

People also keeping saying that wasians are "flexing they're white" or "proud to be white" and look I'm not proud to be half white but there's no use in denying that I am half white because that helps literally no one!

I hate when people are like "oh my god can we stop using ukulele in queer music" like my guy, my dude it's almost like ukulele is really easy to learn so when most of the artists that make queer music are teenagers who can't afford anything but a ukulele theres gonna be a lot of ukulele in the genre????

And also most artists who used ukuleles in their music (think cavetown (I don't listen to his stuff because of the controversy I refuse to touch that with a ten foot poll) and Sushi Soucy) moved away from it when they got older and more popular and can afford actual instruments???

Like if you want music that doesn't have ukulele then don't listen to it???

I'm sorry but if you see a trans person (any trans person Idc) talk about things in the feminist movement that have hurt/continue to hurt trans people your base reaction should not be "Yeah okay but what about the women, look how oppressed they are!" kindly stfu and re asses your knowledge on how to be an ally and be empathetic

Hot take: college should be free, yes even private institutions. We shouldn't put a price on education. "But Ollie," you say "what about housing, water, and food on campus, how will the college have mone-" Did I mispeak???? Half of the tuition for colleges aren't even for the fucking "amenities" and when they are It's wayyyyy too expensive. "But scholarships and financial aid exist!" Have you ever tried applying for financial aid and scholarships???? They're notoriously hard to get and college are also skimpy as fuck.

Anyways putting education behind a paywall is a inherently capitalistic and classist idea.

This is actually fucking gross ewwwww, and they wonder why they're on people's DNI lists. Belive all victims regardless of gender, thanks bye.

[Image ID: a tumblr post from someone with the URL "Radfemradio" it says "I will always choose to belive in any women in any circumstance, long before I put any faith in a male. And if a women speaks out against a male, I will belive her by default. And if you understand statistics, you'd agree with me. And if a male makes an accusation against a women, he better have, compelling, undeniable evidence, or I just flat out won't belive him. But even if she did the things he accuses her of- I'd have to wonder, what did he do to provoke her?" // End Text]

This was in my packet for a short story about the dystopia of eugenics we're reading in ELA, I- I can't do this anymore

"what hashtags would he use?" SHUT THE FUCK UP AND FUCK OFF

I'm not fucking answering that question idc if I get a bad grade fuck you

By trying to make it relatable you're COMPLETELY undermining the message of the story like actually

This is a story about eugenics and the innate horror of knowing you will die and yet not being able to do anything about it, I AM GOING TO SCREAM
