#*getting offended by others behalf

[mamuzzy]

Was anxious about the new mongolian girl in work and wasn't sure how to ask about her home because, you know, white tumblr sensitivity™*, and it turns out, her family indeed lives in a ger, worked with animals and she even owned a horse before coming to Hungary.

And now she is teaching me mongolian words and I teach her hungarian ones. I feel so loved right now.

Cripple is a slur. Please don't use it if you're able bodied

I have repeatedly stated that I am disabled.

@sweaterkittensahoy curt gets a game face the SECOND bryan makes the crack about "something for the higher ups" to jack and doesn't blink through this whole shot either, so he's on the offensive immediately [and also stops JUST BARELY short of giving bryan a chin flick when he leans forward lol]

and he is right up on jack's shoulder and has all of jack's attention through the next shot which like. jack cannot be blamed. but still fun :3

hi! i think I remember you following anne helen peterson and i really enjoyed her post today - so pertinent to what you were discussing on here last week! i wondered if you had any thoughts, if you’ve read it? always appreciate your perspective rae!

yes, i did read it, and i thought it was okay! i feel like ahp's coverage of taylor is always lacking insight compared to some of her other pieces, or maybe it's because i know too much. i think it's balanced enough but i think the whole "maybe taylor is talking to brittany about her politics" idea is a little optimistic? naive? for me. i believe in talking about people close to you about their politics, and trying to change their minds, because, again, allyship can be found in unlikely places... but i also know how hard and often fruitless it is, and i also don't find it helpful to assume that's what's going on with taylor and brittany.

however, i do appreciate ahp saying that having this conversation via taylor swift is difficult because when taylor swift is criticized for everything, people (esp white women) take it very personally. when they say, "nothing taylor does will be good enough," they're often (not always) saying, "nothing we do will be good enough." reminds me of the ever-relevant alex avila video essay i summarized a few weeks back.

out of curiosity what's everyone's metric for deciding between a T and M rating on ao3? mine is that i ask myself "would i have been okay reading this as a teenager" but i also read a song of ice and fire for the first time when i was 14 and idk if that's like. the normal standard for what's appropriate for teens or not

when bitches be like "ugh when okegom fans romanticize SA and abuse!1!1!" girlie you are in the SA and abuse fandom. you are in the wrong place. can you fucking accept that it is not for you and that not all media is made to conform to your views, and that you are a scummy person if you think it should? the door is literally right there if you dont like it get the fuck out

It was Julian who answered. “Emma doesn’t miss,” he said, sounding as offended as if they had just insulted him.

...

“I think they should trust him,” said Emma. “Julian doesn’t lie.” She looked at Clary challengingly, as if daring her to disagree.

Critic’s Choice nominees reminding me once again why awards are bull shit. Look, he’s fine, he’s FINE (although the more I rewatch, the more nits I find to pick), but you will never ever ever EVER convince me that SR is the one who should be getting awards recognition for season 2 while the rest of them are ignored. I’ve made my feelings about AZ’s acting known, so at this point I’m more offended on JA and DH’s behalf.

I hope other awards show a little more sense/taste in this regard, but I’m not holding my breath.

sometimes I wish you could post an opinion on a fandom blog without inviting a whole witch hunt or being accused of causing drama but alas

Now he’s trying to lie when he literally tagged Princeton like 5 fucking time. White people are so evil, bro. They always know what they’re doing when they do shit like that. With the attempt to bring harm to Black people who they want to “get out of the way,” because they don’t think that we belong in the same spaces as them while at the same time, believing they should be allowed INTO our spaces and afforded hospitality and a whole red carpet rolled out. The sad thing is, she has connections to the industry because of her uncle and name so what if this was just a random Black woman who worked for Princeton without this kind of protection at all…?

today my coworker turned to my mentor and told him there was something about him that was just inherently likable and turned to me and told me i should work on being less giggly if i wanted to be taken seriously in life
