One thing I do know is that when you're Black/Brown, smart, attractive and unapologetic about mainlining and defending the culture that gave you all of these qualities, people will hate you just for existing and try to displace their own anxieties, fears, disdain, etc, on to us.

One of the reason I buck so hard on bigots because I'm not going to take on that energy because it's not my problem.

I am what I am. How you feel about that is your business, not mine.

People on forums and Tumblr shouting about toxic masculinity, homophobia, and racism got me to listen, examine my prejudices, and recognize privilege & oppression. There's a reason the far right came up with "Social Justice Warrior" as an insult. They know online activism works.

I, am, the sleepy bitch

Ableism is expecting people to both show and hide their neurodivergences/disabilities at the same time.

It's expecting words like "stupid" and "idiot" to simultaneously mean "willfully ignorant to the point of being dangerous to those around them" and "unable to learn specific concepts but ultimately harmless to those around them".

Ableism, like all forms of bigotry, is meant to associate people who are different from the established social norms as the same as the people who are dangerous.

The attacks from the UK government are already starting, and they are trying to further criminalise the travelling community.

I'm copying this from birdsite: Roma communities have asked us to fill out this consultation in their favour. Please do it when you can - https://t.co/dhcIlsG5ml

Instructions on how to best fill it out are downloadable here: https://t.co/X8lY0Sw3zk

Essentially, just fill out"I don’t think trespassing should be criminalised at all."

Striking Workers Are Bringing Back 1970s "Mindfuck" Tactics

https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/kzd7az/striking-workers-uk-mindfuck-tactics-uvw

"Deliveroo and UberEats riders, [...] are masters of the mindfuck. Because they’re technically self-employed, the laws on strike action and trade unions don’t apply to them. That means that the slow bureaucracy of postal ballots and turnout thresholds designed to prevent workers from taking collective action goes out the window. Instead, these workers can just do what makes sense to them. The result has been an explosion in militancy, as the platforms try to cut their workers’ already-low wages. Strikes are now breaking out every couple of weeks with little or no prior notice. They’re organised through complex networks of encrypted messenger chats which are completely invisible to platform bosses, meaning that all their standard management techniques need to be rewritten."

my gender is just uncritically internalizing everything everyone says about everything and then crying

But the most irritating thing about the dialogue around mayor pete is that it implies that the enfranchisement marginalized groups can be rescinded if there is any area in which they compare unfavorably to white heteropatriarchy.

Notably, people do not use the high suicide rates, high rates of hate crime participation, high rates of illegal drug use, and high rates of hiring discrimination in cishet white folks to enact mass state brutality and disenfranchisement for them.

Most of you know that black people are no more homophobic than whites, and are much LESS homophobic when you control for environmental variables that are known to influence homophobia. The average white person of similar religiosity and education level is much more homophobic than a black person in the same situation.
