An Actual Immigrant. We Matter.

Americans: you don't sound Irish any more

Me, when I'm not modulating my accent so Americans won't make fun of it:

youtu.be/OEO_t4BdDfU?...

Me too. 🩵 Like there's simply no way we're leaving the state. None. That's just not going to fucking happen.

Like if that's their reason for turning a closed eye, they are going to get a fucking terrible wake up call. And they deserve it.

It absolutely fucking boggles my mind every single motherfucking day what people are just going to turn a closed eye to, as long as their shit stays the same.

Except their shit isn't staying the same. Their shit has changed dramatically.

If this presidency has revealed anything? It's that folks didn't realize just how much of a blind eye they turned to ethnic cleansing, white nationalism & also just how little they knew about how important immigrants are to this place.

Change a hawk to a little white dove

More than a feeling, that's the power of looooooove.

Yes! Maybe it's not a conspiracy theory, maybe it's just common fucking sense because we have eyes and because they've proved they're doing it.

THE POWER OF LOVE IS A CURIOUS THING

"I criticized the IRA, but losing my kneecaps was entirely unrelated"

Because these guys weren't white citizens. There won't be huge countrywide protests about it.

So the envelope gets pushed further. And further. And a little bit further.

And people will keep posting that stupid fucking poem about first they came for, not realizing that we are already at the end.

Like they've already murdered immigrants in detention camps and said that it was a result of medical distress and seen that they can get away with it. They've already seen that the biggest protests will be over citizens.

They're going to keep pushing the envelope because they can.

Saying that genocide is bad is bad, but keeping a slur in that will affect untold amounts of people who are watching the show, not to speak of the people it was actually aimed at, is good. Apparently.

🩵 because it's common fucking sense! Unless you have lived your life in a bubble with no media exposure ever and never talking to anybody ever, there's no way for you to know nothing about that word.

I'd never heard of it until I was 12, and I read it in a book. And that was [mumbles] years ago.

Many such mysteries.

"not everything is a conspiracy"

I don't know, pals. When immigrants were being murdered in the streets and they're making up lies to kidnap us and send us to God knows where, I'm going to say that nothing is beyond reach when people are genocidal.

I dunno, guys.

This seems not good.

Oh my GOD can we stop acting like Europeans have no idea about racism when we're the fucking originators of white racism.

Cutting the words "free Palestine" but not a SLUR from broadcast is wild work.

BAFTAs taking tips from @safety.bsky.app.

Maybe it was just a regular blanket.

Wait, did I get you a tortilla blanket? I think I did.

see that's that bullshit

a tic is involuntary, but BAFTA not saying anything to Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan afterwards is a choice

Use your tortilla blanket to stay warm!!

Scottish people can't be racist is—

We also REALLY don't want to leave New York because it's one of the safest states in the country to be a queer immigrant in, plus we just like it here.

And Best Friend ™️ is here.

WHAT 😭

Boyfriend has one job application in but it's for a position with no possibility of a raise and it's a severe pay cut.

So the hunt continues.

He wants a new job, but he doesn't want to put us in absolute penury to do it.

Unless he is speaking directly to a room full of people with dyslexia or other learning disabilities, it makes no sense to say he's just like "you, [he can't read]."

I saw Parker Malloy's post with the full context and I dunno, it doesn't make it much better.

Maybe I'm just sick of people making generalized statements to marginalized people and then being treated like they're the one who needs protecting.

Okay, I actually did listen to the audio and holy shit, that went over like a fucking lead balloon at the end.

racial slurs are extreme violence, and being called one on a global stage actually is worse bc it takes something degrading and dehumanizing and amplifies it a hundredfold while you're powerless to react. not enough people are seeing that--most urgently the BBC and the BAFTAs are not seeing that.
