I tried to send my stressed out girlfriend a supportive message about how smart and talented she is but my idiot fingers only typed “youre snart” before pressing send

White allies and white leftists and liberals need to read this.

In regards to posts about racism or intersectionality with race involved you MUST listen. Not respond. LISTEN

What I have seen so many white “allies” do is add onto posts (my own included) to put their own thoughts and opinions. In some cases take the words of the original poster and try to “translate” what is being said to other white people.

You are ACTIVELY taking away the voices of poc and speaking over them when you do this. When you tack on your own personal anecdotes or try to to give a definition of what a person or color is saying you are in the simplest of ways insulting their intelligence

[rosyish]

I have multiple posts on this site talking about racism and there is ALWAYS a white person ready to reblog it with their own commentary. You are NOT helping. And you are being micro aggressive

Your job as an ally is to uplift our voices. Not add your own.

Please sit down with yourself and ask yourself why you feel the need to insert yourself into a conversation that does not need your opinion. No matter if you agree or not.

Please save your thoughts and opinions for the tags. This isn’t a blackboard discussion class

[rosyish]

This won’t get as many notes as my other posts and I know this but I still must say it because it’s so very aggravating and honestly very rude

“suffering feels religious if you do it right” no shut up it doesn’t. my friends laughing in the kitchen while i make dinner feels religious. the sun on my face after a long winter feels religious.

Big Warning

If you see a police car or a cop with a speaker looking thing on it, FUCKING RUN. It’s known as an LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device), a device that, when activated, can permanently damage your hearing and cause serious harm. If you’re too close, you’ll be left in a lot of pain and squirming on the ground permanently deaf. Ear plugs do not work. Unless you have one of those shooting range headphones, you do not stand a chance against them. Again, if you see them pull up, RUN. This is what they look like.

Stay safe.

To the comments asking if this is real/can cause hearing loss. Not only is it real, but the NYPD lost a federal lawsuit in 2017 for using it on peaceful protestors, during the Black Lives Matter protests for Eric Garner in 2014, and caused them permanent damage. It was spotted again at protests this week.

also heres an episode of brooklyn 99 where they talk about how cool this thing is

[pee-pan]

Said this in an earlier post but if you see this thing RUN FROM IT IMMEDIATELY IN A HORIZONTAL DIRECTION (left/right from it). The best earplugs will not help, they only protect about 30 decibels of sound and these things shoot 160, and are effective for about a mile. Earplugs will do very little (better than nothing ig!) so the best move is to keep your mouth closed and GET OUT OF THERE. They will cause headaches, panic, vomiting and PERMANENT hearing loss. They used these in Portland yesterday (6/5), so yes, it’s a real thing cops are using now.

The media isn’t reporting on it as much, but BLM protests are still happening in March 2021. Bringing this back for another year of fighting for justice.

Hot take: Being an atheist who indiscriminately hates all organized religion and looks down on all religious people puts you on the same level as someone of any given religion being harmful in the name of that religion. And if you’re attacking all religious people, you’re including people who are attacked for their religion on a societal level. Antisemitism and Islamophobia are still Antisemitism and Islamophobia if they’re veiled behind a “but I hate all religions” mindset, which is a shitty mindset in the first place. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk, I will not be taking arguments.

9/11 has been funny for a long time. the vast difference between the government telling you that you should cry about a couple thousand americans dying for 20 years as if it’s the biggest tragedy in human history and as if they actually care about human life and then proceeding to show a sociopathic disregard for human life at best and insatiable bloodthirst at worst cannot be squared away.

9/11 isn’t about human beings dying. the reason why the government shoves it in our face every single year and tells us to care is because of what they want it to represent, which is an attack on “america”, and they want to use that to justify wholesale slaughter of innocents overseas and perpetual imperial empire. 9/11 is a quasi-fascist myth about national trauma.

and now we live in a pandemic, where the same number of people who died on 9/11 die every single day because of the negligence and greed of the very same government who tells us to cry about it, and there is no reconciliation. no attempt made to explain this. there is an active movement to downplay it or to redirect blame to china, once again fueling our imperial ambitions.

so it is safe to say now that 9/11 is a fucking farce. I don’t even know how they’re going to be able to sell that narrative anymore because they’ve completely shown their ass. you officially have permission from the government to never ever have to give a shit about 9/11 ever again. enjoy.

Since it’s sadly relevant, a PSA for anyone attending a Jewish funeral or visiting a home where they are sitting shiva: no flowers, please. We understand that’s your tradition and won’t be offended, but respecting our traditions is a better gift of care.

I don’t know if anyone needs to hear this but “we all respond to trauma in different ways, not just pretty palatable ways” and “we are accountable for our own actions, even actions born from trauma” are not contradictory statements
