I keep having this thought-

I like myself I truly and wholeheartedly do but I fear that part of it could be that I am very pretty/conventionally attractive and that it could be why I don’t hate myself like I used to when I was in middle school (for context I’m a senior in hs and 18).

I love myself and joy I am able to bring myself when I engage w my practice like mirror work and candle work or even just lighting some incense but I fear the reason as to why I enjoy spending so much of my time with myself alone and just admiring my own presence could be due to my beauty

I genuinely mean this, I hope all 5 of those Supreme Court members who voted Yes have to live their lives getting harassed and are extremely bothered till their last dying breath.

Bother them, make their lives miserable, make them not want to leave their homes.

History They Didn't Teach You In School

The Anti-Vagrancy Act (Greaser Act) of 1855 was a law implemented in California designed to restrict the movement of Mexicans.

Following the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848 and the accompanying Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the United States acquired land it would split into Wyoming, Utah, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, and California. In order the solidify White power in their new land, the government passed a number of racist laws.

The Act made legal the arrest of persons who were 'vagrants', people including those unemployed, prostitutes, and "Greasers...who go armed and are not peaceable and quiet persons." (Section 2) This was a derogatory term for those of "Spanish and Indian blood", so it specifically targets the Mexicans who already lived on the land that had suddenly changed hands.

This law served to criminalize ethnic minority groups doing everyday behavior and, though the prison system, force them into unpaid labor. It also allowed for extra-legal "justice", authorizing local militias to terrorize Mexicans, confiscate their property, and seize their land.

For more White supremacist laws passed in the same time period, consider the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882) and the Foreign Miners' Tax (1850). Also consider "An Act for the Government and Protection of Indians" (1950), a similar anti-vagrancy law that was much stricter, against Native Americans in California.

KILL HIM

[inthefallofasparrow]

In the town where I grew up, there was a large statue in one of the parks, of a famous historical white colonizer. I'm not going to say who specifically, suffice it to say that it was someone who wasn't worth memorializing for their deeds. And as you can imagine, this statue was a frequent target of vandalism, with paint or toilet paper or eggs on multiple occasions. Now, the local council was generally pretty lax when it came to repairing potholes or other public damage in the town, but every time, 24 hours after this particular statue was hit, the same person would always appear in a Hi-Vis vest, hat, mask and sunglasses, carrying a bucket of water, and wash it clean. They would do it as quickly as possible, but always made sure the face and the name carved at the bottom were generously scrubbed. This only encouraged people to do it again, and so it became a vicious cycle.

Within a year, the statue had sustained so much damage that it was unrecognizable and the lettering unreadable, so eventually the council came and took it down. Also apparently, the person in the Hi-Vis vest didn't even work for the council. They were supposedly just some 'good samaritan' who cleaned it, often before the council even discovered it needed cleaning, so they just let them do it and ignored the problem. They didn't bother putting the statue up again.

Much later, we found out that the anonymous 'samaritan' had been deliberately washing the statue with a bucket of saltwater, which had dramatically corroded it, causing irreversible accumulative damage far worse than spray paint ever would have done. It's even theorized that they were also often the one spray-painting it, just so that they had an excuse to come back after a day to wash it.
