SGISD PhD Student Explores LGBTQ+ Student Inclusion and Support in Two Recent Publications
LGBTQ+ students, particularly LGBTQ+ students who are Black, Indigenous, and people of color, often face unique challenges at school, including hostility, bullying, and safety concerns. Innovative school and campus support structures are critical for LGBTQ+ students’ safety and educational engagement.
SGISD PhD candidate Matthew McClellan recently published two works exploring LGBTQ+ student experiences with inclusion and support in K–12 and college education settings.
Matthew’s book chapter, Reimagining LGBTQ Student Inclusion and Support in Schools, examines collaborative support structures for K–12 LGBTQ+ students in schools. His chapter discusses how integrated support programs in schools can help empower and educate teachers and staff to provide more adequate and culturally competent support and resources to students, address school inequalities, and help establish more inclusive and supportive education environments.
Matthew also conducted a qualitative study with 14 LGBTQ+ college students to learn about their experiences attending college at a conservative university. His article, LGBTQ College Students’ Lived Experiences and Perceptions of Support on a Conservative Campus proposes strategies for increasing LGBTQ+ representation, facilitating campus education, and creating inclusive policies at the university level.
Matthew’s research interests include queer studies, immigrant and refugee rights, nonprofit leadership, social and cultural issues, equity, and inclusion. In 2020, Matthew also published a book review in the International Journal of Community Well-Being, which reviews the book “Development and Connection in the Time of COVID-19” by Cornelia C. Walther. Read the full review.

has anybody else thought about how jk could easily manage sofia's parts of slow dance or is it just me?
#jikook#bts#everybody is working to insert jk in who where i just don't see it (other than the seven parallels)#and not talking much about what i see as WAY more obvious nods most especially in rebirth#like jm sings about wanting to be worthy of someone - maybe someone who just became a huge SOLO global popstar?#and mentions 'real love' - what was the name of that chapter in the bangtan book again?#and the feminine pronouns not present it's just the nebulous 'you' that in jimin songs often stands in for 'army'#(and one very specific 'fan' who has said he is ALSO army)#it's the 'i wanna be with you'#the answer for jk's 'i am still' with its unspoken additional 'still with you' layer#and then we get slow dance and we're back to the nebulous 'you' - on an island he-#oh wait what was that about a pair that traveled to an island? and filmed some stuff there that we'll see soon? hm#the reason this set me off though is the lines about 'cancelling my plans' to live to 'the tempo of our favorite song'#the falling deep into lines etc etc#because we know what happens when those two get together - they lose track of time everything else fades away#it's why they haven't done lives. why 'you and me' are 'up all night' why jm knows that as soon as jk is around#his self-discipline will crack and he'll fall into the pattern he tried to head off by separating from jk while making face#and we *know* jimin wrote on this song#frankly if he *hadn't* gotten a female feature everybody would be JUMPING on this song as a jikook anthem#the inclusion of sofia works perfectly - like hammering the pin back in a grenade#but i was reading those lines and thinking how high she went and going who else could sing this ...?#huh. who do we know of who can sing *anything*? and who has a range that can hit and blend with jimin's perfectly?#so. i dunno. y'all do your delulu the way that works for you and i will do my delulu my way lol#personally i think the eyes in the mv look like a screenshot from the love wins all mv but that's only me#i think the parallels with seven work more#and speaking of parallels (there are so many) i think this album was built to ensure jm is on equal footing with a certain someone#it's the commerciality of it - as though jm was like we will be together in this as well#when he seems not to be super interested in global domination but still 'special' enough to be on the same level with his love

Twitter feels like an even split between pro-Palestine supporters and the most horrific kind of racists, Zionists and white supremacists. Tumblr is by comparison overwhelmingly in support of Palestine. And yet the level of dehumanization, isolation, Othering and casual racism on here is so much more unbearable and suffocating than Twitter could ever be.
Tumblr wants to be seen as the anti-racist good guys on the right side of history while reinforcing the racist white supremacist western-centric status quo. Black and brown people are given platform under strict conditions of what values can be challenged and how far white comfort can be pushed. It's on Twitter that we have our own communities, our own power of advocacy, and a collective drive to interrogate and dismantle structures of power.
It reinforces what I have known for a long time— Tumblr's hatred of Twitter and TikTok is based primarily on refusing to tolerate the reality of equal representation, leftist action and racial justice. A true diversity of power and perspectives is messy, chaotic, conflict-driven and upends the sense of stability and space that can only come with a homogeneity of racial demographic. The majority of disenfranchised people understands that power structures and bureaucracies are built on purpose to exclude them — the poor, the sex workers, the incarcerated, the ghettoised, the disabled, the colonized. We have to fight to be heard, and our reality and political investment cannot be separated from the minority trauma that informs them. True equality entails not having to funnel that trauma through behaviour and ethics that makes their expression more palatable or considering of others; it removes all respectability politics and allows us to behave with the same unpunished toxicity that is unleashed on us by white and western people. Conflict, cacophony and having to tolerate the untempered emotions and self-interest of all groups is the price of true diversity and honest dialogue. It also primarily empowers Black and brown people and disempowers whites. In contrast, the "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" on predominantly white-driven and Western-oriented spaces is a simply a neoliberal farce that requires us to perform our own humanity and ask validation from whiteness. This is why you see only the worst aspects and negative effects of Twitter and TikTok and use them to reject the the platforms wholesale while creating a narrative of moral superiority around Tumblr's relatively low levels of conflict and glossing over the receding presence of Black and brown people in its userbase.
Race is not a layer of oppression. It's the fundamental bisection that creates the underclass on which the colonial capitalist world order is built. It's the caste hierarchy of humanity; who gets to be labourer and profiteer, the exploiter and exploited, the worker and producer, the consumer and consumed, the masses and the individual. The living bodies and embodied lives. The experience of every other marginalization is shaped by its waters. White women and queers will neither understand nor share in the oppression of women and QPoC from both diasporas and the Global South. Even further, every marginalization becomes a weapon against BIPOC in the hands of its white demographic. Black and brown people of those marginalized communities will always only be a token and shield for their white counterparts, while being the workhorses behind their struggles.
It doesn't matter how many times you post "Free Palestine" when we know its only the product of your preoccupation with your own personal moral landscape. Politics based on egoism will always be eclipsed by threats to your material reality. This is why a userbase that spent its entire existence grandstanding against Nazis now cannot see Zionists as Nazis and begs people to participate in a political establishment that has revealed itself to be a genocidal white supremacist regime in the clearest possible terms. Fascism against its own enfranchised is the end stage of an empire that has begun to collapse under the weight of its war-mongering and now resorts to eating itself to survive. No amount of moral distance between yourselves and its machinery of death, no amount of scapegoating the lives crushed underneath it, will stop the roofs you sheltered under falling on top of you. This the truth that the colonized, enslaved and indentured people that built your house have lived all along.

Towards a Sustainable Future: Hannah Arendt on the Interconnectivity and Non-sustainability of Colonialism, Nationalism, Imperialism, and Capitalism
Hannah Arendt’s political philosophy provides a rich framework to examine the interconnectivity and non-sustainability of colonialism, nationalism, imperialism, and capitalism. Through her analysis of power, totalitarianism, and the nature of human activities, Arendt offers critical insights into how these systems are intertwined and why they are ultimately unsustainable. Interconnectivity and…

I don’t know how other people seem to be missing that Nazi groups in Europe are obviously using the rising interest in Paganism as a way to spread Nazi rhetoric. Like the fact that people vilify N. American Heathenry to the point that they need to be fucking reminded that the Folkish movement originated IN EUROPE is honestly horrifying.
Like I remember when someone posted something like last summer about Jotnar being evil because Scandinavians said so and just…..No, you dumbass, no. Being Scandinavian does not automatically make someone an ethical source of information on Heathenry. Like have you run a background check on these people — ya know, to make sure they aren’t members of any rightwing hate groups like Norrsk?
And when Scandinavians start claiming that by not adhering to their beliefs, I am appropriating their culture that’s when I really get pissed off. Modern Scandinavians were not indigenous to that area — the Sami were. Modern Scandinavians are colonizers from an open culture.
No one is appropriating shit because you cannot appropriate from an open culture. Its impossible.

well, i found something good about the slip arc. it’s the idea that homesickness in the future will be a physical illness that manifests in those especially who will never have the chance to return to earth. cause im gonna be real i wasnt paying attn because i didnt want to but the way i understand it people on new kinshasa weren’t affected by this, people in the upper echelons of sarasvahti (ie people who had money to spend and lives to lead by doing so) weren’t affected by it: only Brahma pests and those too poor for earth to ever be a dream in their hearts were ailing with a homesickness so potent and concrete that it led to physical symptoms.
and i fucking love that. i love that so much, i think theres this divide btwn ppl who would love to go to space and who love the idea of aliens and whatever and then you have those who get sick thinking about the idea that for years the planet has existed with a certain number of souls less than it’s supposed to have because theres always been people on the space station and i FIRMLY belong to that second category so like... this is SO good to me, it’s so fucking real
#penumb#again .... im gonna mention the sacred text this is getting embarrassing but idc its why i love that jet & rita are from earth in ambrosia#and i love the inclusion of second cit in there just on the basis of the fact that it melds so well and i love it#but also because i love how earth has grown and evolved and done so in a pretty insular way all things considered??#because its now considered backwards and old school and wht have you and obviously this isnt canon bc it wouldnt mesh with the homesickness#and also its not canon bc it just isnt but in ambrosia earth has sort of evolved beyond capitalism because theyve had to#bc they are living with the direct results of what human technologies have done in those ghost dinosaurs#and because at least how it comes across with the jet storyline it seems that earth has become a glorified parking lot#an in betweeny for dark matters to park their spaceship when looking for the unnatural disaster#i dont actually know if its canon that jet is from earth i feel like we've not heard jack about earth ever except for that illness#but like to me jet will always be from earth because it explains ... so much to me#this idea of natural disasters which im sure exist on other planets (i mean hello venus global warming) but they still all come back to#us and the way he's so self contained and self controlled seems to have something that for me resonates with earth too#idk. anyway idk if that author even knows what theyve done to my worldview with that fic its unreal

Weiss's alternate skin got posted and Im actually really fascinated by the fact that his hair is canonically lighter in Intergrade. Tho I guess it makes sense with a name like Weiss, it should be white and not gray. And while the added details make sense with the decade+ in improved graphics, its the different mako color that really fucks me up. They use a more teal color for mako in 7R rather than just neon blue??? I love how much more Im learning from this update!!!!
#i knew if he was getting a skin itd be his intergrade look. i want it not just cuz it covers him up more but cuz#i REALLy like the lighter hair shade too#im SO sorry im not shutting up about this. probably another day or two then i'll be quiet#until october when he comes to global and i can screech about having a proper translation for the chapter lol#also why is his sword sheath shorter in the alt? doesnt look like his sword is shorter at all. weird.#also also im really curious as to why they romanize his name as vice when its obvious its supposed to be weiss for the color meaning#is it just so its easier for jp people to guess how its pronounced? orrrr.... is the weiss spelling actually a localization?#like yufi to yuffie basically#and actually. now im wondering if this'll be the og or intergade weiss.#i mean i guess OO is operating on the belief that dirge still happens after 7r? OH! but also weiss never actually meets anyone in 7r anyway#hes just a simulation in his boss fight in intergrade. so i guess it doesnt matter and thats more of a question for nero once he gets in#tho still curious if he mentions anything 7r related in the chapter 🤔#with jessie's inclusion it seems like theyre pushing for replacing og 7 lore with 7r lore#personal

I feel bizarre making jokes about it myself, because it was basically the first horrible thing that happened in my life and I have extremely complicated feelings about it. BUT I'm grateful for everyone who does make jokes about it because it gives me perspective/keeps me from developing America brainrot
As someone around for 9-11 and the "NEVER FORGET NUMBER #1 GREATEST TRAGEDY EVER IN HISTURY" response to it I am in thrilled and invigorated by the fact that younger people just make amogus memes and TikTok nonsense about it. A huge chunk of America cared more about it than any entire genocide and thought you would cry learning about it. They hoped it'd make every generation patriotically angry forever and ever and want to join the military. Instead you Photoshop the towers into squidwards house and shit. Never stop lol
#9/11#I lost touch with some great friends because their green card applications were revoked for no reason#along with everyone else's#anyway I love the pro-globalization that seems to have taken over tumblr#or maybe it's just anti-america but who cares#more posts from around the world on my dash to stave off the brainrot please#as someone whose only problem with reciting the pledge of allegiance every morning was the inclusion of 'under god' I am not immune

Not entirely sure how I'm expected to respond when I point out something is white as fuck and the person I'm criticizing goes "I'm literally PoC!!" Okay? Good for you? Get well soon??
I literally live in South Asia, a place still nursing the world's worst colonial hangover. That's like one billion brown people desperately in need of joining Bootlickers Anonymous. If I had to respect the rancid takes of every yahoo that lives here I'd have to drown myself in the sea.
Living in white countries does something odd to diaspora brains. If you call yourself BIPOC in your own head long enough you end up forgetting you're just a garden variety idiot mainlining white supremacy like everyone else.
#essay: why I hate the term BIPOC#1) it's North American as fuck#seriously the word has little meaning for Black and brown people in Europe. We're all just darkies over there bc the whites dgaf#also there's two systems of race over there. the global colour system that's a result of european colonization of the other continents#and the older system unique to the region where white Indo-Europeans hates the fuck out of everybody else#so you have to be very specific about the fact that you're coloured of skin#i mean black people in australia are aboriginals. 'black' even in the US used to be a political identity not only a racial one#2) i'm not fucking BIPOC in my own country. I just live here.#I am the default. it's whites that are alien and specified#considering we're literally the global majority‚ it would be very funny if we just called ourselves 'people' and only singled whites out#it's them that invented race after all. just so they could proclaim that white people were the master race#i know it wouldn't work bc then they'd all be like 'how DARE you call us white' like Zionists. but it would be funny#i just think that this whole BIPOC thing makes whites out to be default and makes us hyperaware of ourselves as political entities first#and fuels neoliberal identity politics that culminates in fighting over twitter hashtags and 'Diversity Equity Inclusion' bs#where they make Black and brown people mouthpieces and cops of white supremacy and imperialism#and calls it 'representation'#racism#white supremacy#colonialism#colonization#knee of huss

Towards Liberation: Rethinking Power, Justice, and Sustainability Beyond Colonialism, Nationalism, Imperialism, and Capitalism
Judith Butler’s philosophical perspectives offer critical insights into the interconnectedness and unsustainability of colonialism, nationalism, imperialism, and capitalism. Let’s delve into each and explore a sustainable alternative system. Colonialism: It involves the domination and exploitation of one group of people by another, often resulting in the erasure or marginalization of indigenous…
