What makes a person white? Literally not being Black or anything close to Black. Getting as far away from Black as possible. Extra points if you're blonde. Even more if you have blue eyes. Minus points for curly hair... Too close to kinkly coils.

Exactly.

Everything makes sense when you understand that racism is how white people bond with each other and have nothing in common without it.

There’s a kind of “safety planning” that is actually just hoarding and there’s a kind of safety planning that is community building

Its a reason there's rumors about Michelle and Serena being men.

Its a reason that raping Black women wasn't seen as a ream crime for most of American history

Begging more people to understand this

Keeping trans women out of public life means Keeping Black women out of public life! because Black women are constantly denied cis-ness because cis is based on ideas of femininity that are rooted in white supremacy

Having a uterus isn't enough if you're Black

YOU don't determine your gender, neither do your internal organs. Gender determination is in the judgemental gaze of the one looking at you. And what that gaze sees is through the lens of whiteness & patriarchy.

Self-determination must be for all or no one has it.

UPDATE: Secret Service agents — not ICE — were denied entry at a Chicago school despite initial CPS reports, a CPS source said.

Secret Service agents were looking for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, the source said. https://buff.ly/3EatFDz

Um. What the fuck?

“Elon was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good. Thank you to Elon.”

Did Donald Trump just admit he cheated in Pennsylvania?

This country is the baby of Martin Luther and the protestant reformation. Every value, every cultural product can be traced back to that narcissistic daddy issues having weirdo. The nazis praised him as their hero, their icon.

America is as Nazi as Germany. Except no one interceded militarily

Online spaces including TikTok allow disabled people (a much larger portion of the population than you think) to make a living when then are shut out of the labor market otherwise, teach the rest of us about their experience, compile the biggest repository/network on covid research.

So sorry for your loss 🙏🏻x

So now we have from NHS figures 3 million in the UK with long covid. Our government and the last has failed hugely in messaging. Making out this is a mild virus. We are sinking the economy. When will they act? When we have 6 or 7 million. Time to wake up @uklabour

That guilt you feel about not being able to support every GoFundMe for folks who are suffering?

That’s actually rage at a corrupt system refusing to support its people - a rage carefully steered away from the system so you struggle with yourself & not with the institutions that deserve it

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

Screenshot of a good tweet from the Nazi joint: Holden Shearer @HoldenShearer Someone should probably tell the rich that workers banding together to present formal address of grievances is the alternative we worked out a long time ago to breaking down the factory owner's front door and beating him to death in front of his family? I feel like they forgot. 5/22/18, 9:06 AM

You only need to read the work of the UK's most embarrassing public intellectual that emerged as a result of this to realise that it was all about whiteness and giving white people an excuse to call black people and muslims racist.

May the genocide in Gaza end in 2025.

Don't let them get away with the Big Lie that it all started on 7th October.

Her: "<cough> I've dragged myself out of bed so as not to let you down. <cough> I've left all the rest of the <cough> family really ill at home, but don't <cough> worry, I've not touched anything. <cough>"

I firmly believe we STILL have to be political on this platform.
BlueSky cannot be a retreat from politics and confrontation.
It is only by passionately and assuredly nailing our colours to the mast, albeit in a civilised and respectful fashion, do we even begin to start to change hearts & minds.
