norman rockwell is one of those artists i used to really hate because white people loved him for his folksy cracker aesthetic. but now, hes probably one of my favorite artists. rockwell was legitimately subversive, not just in his work but in his career.

THIS IS SO REAL

I think theatre is better than theater but center is better than centre and I couldn’t tell you why

Her place in skating is so much more complicated than "she could do a cool thing so they banned it." It was already banned. Judging was different then. She lost points on other elements a casual viewer wouldn't recognize. She still had a really hard time being the only Black competitor for a while.

"Hey, do you remember when the ISU banned a one-footed backflip specifically to keep Surya Bonaly from getting a gold because she's black?"

No, but I do remember it being an illegal move since the 70's, and that she threw it in knowing she'd be downgraded as a "fuck you" for other racism she faced.

zay dupree, one of my fave new linguist content creators, has been fighting a protracted war against new yorkers because they believe different boroughs have different accents and refuse to accept the reality that they *do not*

i had this same argument w UK friends before haha, it sounds weird to my ears but then i got pretty used to it. the cool thing is that anyone can just pick and choose what dialects they want to use for the most part, i write it 'theatre' and 'grey' despite having grown up in the US!

This is also why a narrow focus on trans rights as somehow removed from class war, prison abolition, anti-fascism, the fight against racism and multiple other oppressions just doesn't face reality.

We don't live our lives that way. Our enemies never just attack us with one weapon in their arsenal.

An enraging thread, but also revealing about how transphobia works in liberal states, with trans rights on paper but with a massive list of "terms and conditions" that leaves out many.

You have rights, sure, unless you're poor, a protester who angers conservatives, a prisoner, the list goes on...

The result is that, while not openly against trans rights in the way right-wing regimes are, liberal states end up de facto oppressive for trans people outside a fairly small swath of gentry.

One in five of us ends up incarcerated, we're an overwhelmingly working class demographic. You do the math.

demand nothing less than the downfall of the united states of america

i have a bit in venmo at the moment that i wanna use toward food & i have $30 rn in kofi!! if anyone could spare around $70 more (there are transfer fees) i could at least offer $100 without feeling bad for getting food before paying a portion of rent and i would rly appreciate it 🥹

Will do 🫡

Something deeply funny about the fact that conservatives depend on foreign labor to stoke the fires of their own rage

Notice how hostile psyops and regime change attempts always boost right wingers? You never see attempts to weaken a country by installing left wing governments.

It's almost as if right wing ideology corrupts and debases any nation it's allowed into

Today is Rio pride and I'm not going because I don't have anyone to go with and also it's gonna rain apparently

fuck i need to buy the newspaper today

if the right is celebrating then we should all be nervous about what it means that trans people are a little less free.

a lot of cishet communists have actually been extremely critical of this ban on gender neutral language in a way that noncommunist TRANS PEOPLE have not been. if bolsonaro had signed this law you wouldve seen it for what it is. it is TEXTUALLY AND IDEOLOGICALLY IDENTICAL to what the right wants

Eu digo o oposto desse fio, tá liberada a indignação rs

A extrema-direita é o que eles são e nós sabemos. Ficar polarizando o tempo todo com eles pra diversionar infelizmente está na moda.

A esquerda crítica, bem, criticou com toda razão que o Lula não vetou o trecho que proíbe a linguagem

não acho que seja injusto NINGUÉM estar com raiva do lula ou de qlqr parlamentar de esquerda pq não lembro de ninguém lá no congresso batendo pé quando colocaram isso no PL. foi pro senado, voltou pra câmara, foi pra presidência, ninguém fez nada. se alguém lembra aí de um movimento sequer me avise

li a thread inteira (já sabia disso tudo) e ainda acho revoltante que nenhuma voz dissidente tenha sido levantada, qual a parte em que fui enganada?

aceitar conivência calada eh o primeiro passo pra virar democrata americano

Sketch feito com bic e retoques digitais da cara de um gato cinza malhado.

i know it will.....i just wish it would hurry up.

você não entende, sem esses cornos desgraçados a gente nunca vai ter nossos direitos ://///

fui olhar os comentários (pq eu sou masoquista aparentemente) e tá lá o próprio Homem Cishet de masculinidade frágil

cara falando que linguagem neutra existe pra fazer ele questionar a sexualidade dele

pelo amor

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I think that people are so beat down right not, that they would be very happy with a few crumbs.

Oh, you’re giving us universal healthcare? Sure! I’ll give up the fight. It’s exactly how the New Deal worked.
