If you don't take the time to comment on my fics (understandable..some of us have busy lives), make sure you're not in my inbox as an anon demanding updates for fics, like that's the only time I even hear from some people here. I'll update on my own time which I don't really have these days, I'm only able to write when I'm highly inspired so yeah just don't be an asshole. Thank you.

Well tbf, I think this only occurs in white countries(european/american/aus/etc). Like I live in the middle east and idk maybe I'm sheltered, but like I don't think there are that many issues towards brown people. Like I'm dark as heck but I've never struggled with it. It helps since I live in a country which prides itself for being multicultural and accepting of all nationalities/religion.

But if you're gay? Nah bruh, you're doomed. Last year, one school held an mun and decided to do a fake wedding but the girl backed off. So they put a guy for the bride. The school board got fired. Even though the students did it as a joke.

And I once saw a documentary about a white gay visiting a country(which is next to mine) and got arrested. I don't think they would care whether you are white or not. Gay means sinful to them.

And being brown doesn't result in a death penalty in any country. But you see countries which think life imprisonment and death penalties are alright for atheists/gay/trans.

I'm telling this as a brown girl; there is no need to compare sufferings. Because it depends on countries. If we were to compare sufferings, I'd say OP is very priveleged because clearly they are from the western world.

i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.

it effects everything.

being trans is easier when youre white.

being gay is easier when youre white.

being disabled is easier when youre white.

being a woman is easier when youre white.

being autistic is easier when youre white.

oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.

you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.

never forget this.

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

i love adhd. i have a lot to do at work today. i take my meds. i open the word document. i immediately misspell “benzodiazepines.” i go on tumblr to post “benzodiazepenis….” for the mutualés. and then it’s 45 minutes later and ive caught up on tumblr and checked the weather and read a fic and texted an ex and ordered new pens and looked up a recipe for chicken pot pie and posted about adhd and done zero work.

AMAZON IS STRIKING LETS FUCKING GO!!!!!! LETS GO!@!

as someone who has worked in amazon warehouses for many years, this is crazy like. oh my god. DURING PEAK SEASON?? LETS GOOOO

media and companies are already trying to say "DONT LET THE UNIONS MISLEAD YOU WE PROMISE WE TREAT OUR WORKERS WELL!!!" well hey ive worked there for YEARS. they do not ! dont listen to their bullshit. it might be difficult to not get frustrated if packages are late at the most important time of the year but thats the whole point -- strikes happening when the workers are most necessary is a massive blow to showing just how essential the workers are . anyways stand with amazon workers this holiday season god fucking bless

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"

And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."

Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden
