The whole notion that women didn’t work is pretty much about upper class white women’s experience because historically poor women of color have always worked and get exploited and literally so many aspects of feminism is like claiming that it has paced ways and given rights to women but its actually only beneficial to upper class white women. Women from third world countries have always worked and fought in war. We just never got the proper credits for it or anything.

Let me be clearer. The way that women who worked high wages jobs or ceo girlbosses are said to be breaking the glass ceiling and their wins becomes feminist win when it doesn’t really do much for poor woc. We still stay at the bottom. And we get exploited by those feminist ceos as well. From where i am from. Not only do women work. There are families where women are the only ones who bring in income. And yet they still don’t get the respect they deserve and their labor is not appreciated. Women rights have to come hand in hand with workers rights as well. That’s why what rich white feminists (who are regularly considered the voice of feminism) are not taken seriously by third world women. Because their activism does not help us. Then it comes to the entire conversation about how if u are not a feminist then you do not support your own rights. Or the entire slogan “we can do it”, women of color have always been doing it. We have always been expected to do the housework and then still bring in extra income. We’re housewives that still have to work outside and keep the house in order.

In the US, vagrancy laws were used to force black women to work. Some states even required black people to carry proof of employment in public. If a black woman was reported as unemployed, police could arrest her anywhere at any time, including her own home.

 A notable example of this is Goldie Williams of Nebraska.

every holocaust memorial day, i always ask people to keep romani people in their thoughts, but this year i’d like to clear up some misconceptions that i see every year w/ a psa

romani people are not white. we’re south asian (from northern india), and each subgroup has a unique racial makeup of asian/white/etc, in different amounts. this is also why we vary wildly in physical appearance/skintone

we still face oppression. what we face, especially in europe, can still be constituted as attempted genocide, as we’re forced to live in hazardous conditions or to give away our children, be sterilized, etc just for the crime of being roma

the ‘g slur’ isn’t just an american issue. the reason some european roma prefer the slur is because, in many countries, there is no term for roma that isn’t a slur, and it’s either the g slur or the literal translation of the n word. i’m romanian, and if you used the slur in my hometown, you’d get slapped, since we just use ‘roma’.

we live in every continent across the world. some of the largest romani populations exist in south america, predominantly in brazil. they are no more and no less roma than their european counterparts, and they, like romani in asia, africa, etc all face unique challenges and oppression.

we’re the largest ethnic minority in europe, and yet have almost no political power, no land ownership power (in some places, we’re forbidden from owning land entirely), etc. with very few reputable charities- a lot of us reject charity by principle, as well as there being a general lack of education about us- the best thing you can do to help romani people is to just spread information, and help individuals when you can.

Hey, its Australia day! Aka the day a bunch of English arrived in Australia and began two centuries worth of genocide and cultural erasure.

In honour of Australia day, do you wanna help some indigenous people reclaim rightful ownership of their unceded lands?

The romanization of Hawai’i only tightens America’s grip on my people.

We are not the land of Lilo and Stitch. We are not a paradise.

We are a nation suffering.

There are only around 600,000 Native Hawaiians left. Only around 200,000 of them live in Hawai’i.

Hawai’i has the second largest homeless population in the nation, falling just behind New York. There are 19 million people in New York. Hawaii only has 1.4 million people. Yet their homeless rates are neck and neck. A majority of those experiencing homelessness in Hawai’i are Native Hawaiian.

Tourism destroys sacred land. Mountains are moved to make room for telescopes. People live in tiny concrete apartments that cost $2k a month because the rich move to the islands to carve their own paradise. My people spend every night praying we can afford to eat the next day

The Navy poisons the water over and over. They lie and say it’s safe. People fall ill. Then they dump the waste into the ocean and promise to do better. They lie.

End the romanization of Hawai’i. There is no paradise under American occupation.

i know so many of us have been trained since a young age to be so accommodating as to fear ever expressing an opinion, but as we get older we need to understand that being “accommodating” to the point of total indecisiveness is a very uncomfortable way to go through life, for you AND those around you. it’s ok to have an opinion on something. it’s ok to make a decision. your friends won’t hate you if you’re the one to end the “where do you want to eat” “oh anywhere is fine with me” discussion by suggesting a restaurant. you’re not high maintenance if you say, “noon is more convenient for me” when someone asks you what time you want to hang out. make decisions, have opinions, be part of the planning process, understand that you’re not being inconvenient, you’re just contributing.

just a heads up before it inevitably blows up on here, Zach “psychicpebbles” Hadel, the creator of the new adult swim show Smiling Friends, is a racist piece of shit newgrounds animator who’s close friends with worse racists and pedophiles. here’s some racist caricature art he did of ajit pai, and he hosts the SleepyCabin podcast with OneyNG/Oneyplays, who has a well-documented history of generally being a stupid asshole online, spewing slurs and going on extended joke-racist tangents. also on the SleepyCabin podcast is Shadman, yes, that Shadman, the pedophile incest porn artist who drew porn of his own mom and went to jail earlier this year. can’t make this shit up! also worth mentioning that psychicpebbles wrote several episodes for jon “more famous for being racist than funny” tron

so uh, yeah, maybe… let’s skip this one, ok? i don’t need to be seeing posts about smiling friends and i will be blocking on sight if you do

I beg of everyone to read the tags to this post, as they are all random and hilarious and read kind of like a poem, if the poem was written by someone who was on a lot of drugs.
