A fun reminder that a loss of 60,000 jobs in and around academia is ~50% more than all coal mining jobs in the entire country.

Black childhoods matter, actually

More than your stupid fucking philosophical debate about whether American Eagle meant it or not

I just want any of these people to sit and think about the constant assault on children of color, especially Black children, about their bodies

That their skin/hair/eyes are never going to be What Is Beautiful

That these clothing ads are served to children who are developing a sense of self

People need to understand in this controversy that at this point, intention doesn't matter. People can accidentally send racist, eugenics messages. No matter if it was meant for that purpose, that is what it is doing. That's what is important. Much like the Sony Black/white ads from many years ago.

lol @ the number of times people have proposed that white liberals are being manipulated by Fox News into being racist

Y’all the thing only works on you if there’s racism to work with

Dude you’re commentating on a thing you haven’t even bothered to do your own most basic homework on? This is intellectually lazy and I’m muting you

I’m not accepting white liberal racism because Donald Trump is a racist

People aren’t being manipulated into being racist

People are being racist

Which makes them easier marks for white supremacists

And magically the people who really need to take this to heart are the most marginalized, rather than those with the most social capital

What is the ad’s theory about what Sydney Sweeney’s β€œgenetic advantage” is? Is it comparable to a swimmer with an extremely long torso? Or is it just being white, blonde, and blue-eyed? Who else thought that was a genetic advantage

These are not giant intellectual leaps

The social pressure around this is going to be enormous. β€œDon’t fight with people who are on your side” is gonna be the message about people who are engaging in racist and (trans)misogynist flights of fancy

The premise will be β€œbut it’s like, not the bad kind”

04.08.2025 00:54 β€” πŸ‘ 188    πŸ” 28    πŸ’¬ 4    πŸ“Œ 0

That falls under β€œtrans positive feminism”

I mean really what we are seeing is people feeling comfortable revealing in various ways that they agree with the authoritarian white supremacists on at least one thing: 2020 anti-racism went too far and so did trans positive feminism

Hence the β€œstop overreacting” and bizarre nostalgia for the 90s

The β€œpeople are overreacting” bit is pure gaslighting

Congrats to all the white liberals out there on being on the same team as Trump

Big resisting!
