Being out in the ocean is actually so scary because when you look really far out you can kind of see how the Earth is rounded out. It looks like a few miles ahead you’re just gonna fall off or something. Also fun trick: if ur on mobile, double tap zoom in and slide the picture side to side. It looks like you’re actually there looking left to right

For clarification, there are a lot of articles and think pieces where a white person will “experience a different way of living” that entails things like wearing a headscarf for a day or working a low-wage job with Latinos or going to live in an impoverished area for “the experience”.

The problem with this is that it frames POC’s experiences as some kind of fantastic sensational otherworldly life, a costume almost, and dehumanizes them in the process. Instead, they could get a perspective by interviewing and talking to and EMPATHIZING with people that LIVE the oppressed experiences, but they focus more on LIVING it THEMSELVES as if that helps anyone.

At the end of the day, they can take off the “costume”, go back to their lives as white (usually well-off) individuals; POC can’t. Hope that makes sense.
