Nonbinary people who change nothing about their appearance are still nonbinary

Nonbinary people who use their AGAB pronouns are still nonbinary

Nonbinary people who don’t change their name are still nonbinary

Nonbinary people don’t owe you anything to be respected as nonbinary

Yeah–there is a lot of colorism and antiblackness in indigenous movements. i didn’t wanna say this yesterday bcs i just didn’t want start drama on an important day. this is gonna be pretty heated bcs i always get heated about antiblackness and colorism 

aside from how black people within certain native and or indigenous groups are treated (or mistreated), the way black people are erased from the term ‘indigenous’ and easily lumped in with ‘non-indigenous/non-native’ (and those terms are anti black in themselves) people, or even called colonizers/settleres in some instances, or even barred out of indigenous issues that affect us is sad.

i think that, it’s always wild to me that people are willing to go great lengths to describe how indigenous does not just mean one indigenous and or native group, it means many. People will bring up indigenous people from Japan, Hawaii, Canada, Peru, Guatemala, US, etc., and these groups have nothing to do with each other but people still recognize they fall under the indigenous umbrella and that they all face specific issues. But the same grace isn’t ever given to black people.

the first time i breached the discussion of black people being indigenous on this blog, I got a wave of hate my way. and that is really how it is even off line. black eople are a valid, indigenous group and we deserve to be recognized and heard for specific issues. Yet, like the only indigenous people who really acknowlege this at large are afro natives and even they face violent antiblackness in their own communities. 

It’s just upsetting and shows how deeply colorism and antiblackness is ingrained in indienous events/groups/etc 

I mean even when christopher columbus day was replaced with indigenous peoples day, black people still weren’t considered despite the fact that christoper coloumbus had black slaves and influenced the trans atlantic slave trade (people even speculate traded black slaves). Yet black people still aren’t recognized on things like indigeous peoples day. 

It’s just–idk upsetting. Because i feel that when it comes to things like racism, police brutality and stuff, black people have been generous enough to let other groups take platforms and share our struggles to raise awareness–i.e bipoc, even the black power fist has become a sign of resistance in nonblack indigenous/native groups,  but when it comes to nonblack groups welcoming black people to their platforms because every issue they face, from water, to land, to reconnection to culture,  we are utterly ignored and barred out of convos. 

it’s like, people don’t consider someone indigenous unless they are brown, and even if they are white before they’d ever consider a black person black in any capacity. whether we’re talking about black people who are a part of native groups, or black people being indigenous just by the sake of being black

but the way every site is just becoming more obsessed with being overly family and child friendly is insane. “i cant believe you’ve done this” getting taken down from youtube for ‘violence’. the way on tiktok if you want to subtitle your video you have to jump through hoops to censor words that arent even swears or sexual or else the video gets removed. i seen someone that had to censor the word diarrhea

"Only 1% of white people in the US had slaves" is a great example of using a fact for misinformation. That is true, but extremely manipulative bc it cuts out really important details about the statistic.

1) It includes the more populous Northern states that did not allow slavery.

2) It ignores the fact that family units were much larger and only the family patriarch tended to actually own the slaves for the family, meaning there were significantly more slave-holders than slave-OWNERS. So you need to measure by household.

So, using the exact same data (the 1860 census) you can determine that about 25% of households in the south had slaves. In Mississippi alone 49% of households had slaves. South Carolina is 46%. The 1% figure I've believed in the past is propaganda to undersell the role of the general white population in slavery and to undersell just how much everyday southern whites benefitted from slavery.

And I haven't even mentioned that slave owners often rented out their slaves...

Not to be an old lesbian, but all these kids saying “fruity” better not be the same people who want to get rid of “queer” because it’s a slur.

We’re not “just friends,” we’re friends. 

Stop defining friendship as less than romance. Stop defining romance as better than friendship. 

Friendship is enough, friendship is beautiful and fulfilling and good. Friendship isn’t less than. No type of relationship is better than another.

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

the whole ‘MRA = fat man in fedora’ trope needs to die yesterday

it’s not funny. it’s offensive and seeing it on my dash reblogged for a laugh is honestly upsetting.

we all know MRAs are vile, but don’t tell me that the image of MRA = fat and overeating isn’t steeped in fatphobia. the stereotype’s come about because people think MRAs MUST be unattractive and lazy so of course they must be fat.

the truth is, MRAs and misogynists come from all walks of life and they’re all shapes and sizes and races. any man is capable of perpetuating misogyny.

idgaf how much you trash MRAs but stop throwing fat people under the bus to do it.  we’re not a fucking punchline.

“Can white women and women of color find common ground when the conditions each live under are so fundamentally different? What long-term benefits can we hope for from #MeToo when white women have not yet accounted for the history of their tears being used to condemn innocent men of color—how do we move on from centuries of white women weaponizing their tears against us to a future where we believe all women?”
