my roommate and i got into an argument last night because they don’t consider spaniards, the portuguese, or italians to be white people and called me racist for insisting that they are in fact white european. i asked if christopher columbus is considered white because he’s from portugal and they said “probably not”. am i stupid?? i feel like i’ve shifted fucking realities because in what world in 2024 are italians and spaniards not considered fucking WHITE
#i feel like if you benefit from white privilege then you’re considered white#if you don’t fear for your life when the police are called#if you can move into any neighbourhood you want#if your people COLONIZED THE WORLD#then you’re considered WHITE#am i crazy????#race#white#black and white

So a big nose on a brown girl is pretty and ethnic and aesthetic and cultural but a big nose on a white girl is ugly,,,
#like#normalizing traits associated with poc is good until it’s still considered weird or ugly on non poc#bc you’re not normalizing the features you’re making exceptions#when a brown girl has hyperpigmentation it’s ok because that’s a part of her skin and it’s natural but when my skin is darker around my#nailbeds is because my hands are dirty or it’s weird or I need to take better care of my hands or it isn’t supposed to look like that#brown girl: has puffy frizzy dark hair that clearly wasn’t taken care of well for a long time#everyone else: oh this is such a tragedy and an instance of racial discrimination and cultural erasure#while girl: has puffy frizzy dark hair that clearly hasn’t been well taken care of for a while#everyone else: um ew that’s gross you need to straighten your hair or something#when brown girls due their hair blonde to fit into beauty standards it’s sad but when a white girl does it she’s improving herself#it’s just a shame that when a poc is bulleid for their traits it’s racism#but when a white person is bullied for having traits that are associated with poc it’s just bullying#and those traits are still considered ugly

I just read someone’s hot take on ‘the mermaid scene’ being ‘peak cringe’ and I just-
Sweet, sweet human. That’s Ed’s psyche you’re taking about. My dude is having his life flash before his eyes in the most beautiful little heartbreaking s1 montage, and if that’s how he wants to picture Stede coming to redeem his lonely fucking soul - as a glittery goddamn tits-out merman, then that’s HIS GODDAMN BUSINESS.
#like how#I don’t get it#also the fucking HIPS on that man am I right? (I’m right)#I mean I get it - it’s silly but then also consider that ITS NOT AND GO AWAY#don’t be kink-shaming my man#if he has a merman-Stede fantasy bouncing around in his psyche just ready to go then good for him#also I don’t know how you can be cringing during this scene with the fucking acting by the two of them like#MY HEART#anyway clearly I have some issues#‘some’ lol#but no fuck off actually this entire end sequence is magical I’ll fucking die on this hill come at me#things that will be playing on a loop rent free in my brain while I try to go about my life doing normal adult things like grocery shopping#and studying and having casual conversations#I’ll be like ‘wow those red capsicums have gotten pricey I wonder if it’s a shipping thing?’#or like ‘yeah I see what you’re saying but I don’t think Nozick’s views on identity and property have the level of overlap you’re assuming’#and then suddenly my whole brain will just be the image of Stede’s face when he stops on the stairs and stares at Ed’s body#and I’ll be wondering why I can suddenly feel the supermarket floor tiles with my face#and what’s happening? why am I in this white padded van?#where are we going?!#ofmd#ofmd s2 spoilers

lyse girl I’m starting to suspect you’re adopted
#white girl have you asked your dad#play game#it’s alright girl it kinda gives you themes? there’s in and out of universe interpretations for the whole thing esp if you consider#Like nationality vs ethnicity. but at the same time girl you’re a bit out of place. sorry for saying girl so often. hashtag girl#you Are a square enix girl.#you’re inextricable from the unfortunance (pervasive squenix colorism)

Just saw your picture. Do you really think you’re beautiful because of your features and facial structures or are you just another white woman that the world has conditioned us to view as beautiful automatically? When you guys can be so basic and uninteresting
of course white privilege affects everything about the way people perceive me and how i get treated, combined with the fact that i fit the (sadly and unfortunately) stereotypical beauty standards of white blonde and skinny. i’m aware of that, if that’s what you mean?
#i know it’s easy for me as a white woman to preach this but i don’t think i consider myself beautiful because of how i look#it’s moreso in the way i’ve stopped actively hating myself and changed my entire outlook on myself as a person#which included how i feel about my looks#of course as i said. easy to say when societally you’re widely accepted and i can’t begin to enter the complexities of it not being so

i’ve been encouraging spotlighting fundraisers on main for a while now (i’ve been spotlighting gazan fundraisers since early thsi year*) but i need to talk more about it here. spotlighting fundraisers is such a big help to everyone (palestinians seeking the donations, their loved ones, vetters, other people spotlighting the fundraiser). please consider it if you are able to. i promise you no matter how small your blog is you will make an impact.
i encourage you to pick a vetted fundraiser from operation olive branch or el-shab-hussein and nabulsi’s spreadsheet and promote it on your blog if you are able to!!!!
#*horrifying to know how long this has been going on for genuinely please help in any way you are able#i won’t lie it’s taxing and draining and i recommend keeping a limited amount#otherwise you will be overwhelmed very very easily#if the person you’re spotlighting has a blog on tumblr obv you should follow them#← same w any other social media if possible#you’ll also have to deal with a lot of white apathy (esp from usamericans) and seeing a lot of racism#there’s been some people who make sick puppet accounts to shit on donation posts#and there will be people accusing you of scamming others and calling you awful names#you might also get shadowbanned or deleted#but also know that spotlighting a fundraiser is a big help#i’ve seen so many fundraisers stop stagnating because people have decided to spotlight them on their blog#please consider it if you’re able to

would yall hate me if i made a racially motivated poll
#i’m just curious ok#it has been brought to my attention recently that a lot of tumblr is white#but i always was like okay. but me and MY mutuals aren’t#which might sound narrow minded but i didn’t grow up around a lot of white people/half white people#and if i did they were not culturally white. like yes they had a white parent but that white parent was like yk what. imma just sit back#so i kinda just assumed that was all of us#but maybe not…? fully white ppl are u among us??#also i UNDERSTAND that depending on ur ethnicity some peoples ancestors were considered white in some decades#and then in other decades the u.s. was like yk what. you’re NOT white get the fuck out of here#so i understand the nuances of this. but also im nosy as fuck#yk what these tags are gettin long so like. tell tale sign i might delete but who knows

“well some people would consider it offensive” GIRL I GREW UP IN A CONSERVATIVE RELIGIOUS HOUSEHOLD. MY DAD IS A PASTOR. IT’S NOT OFFENSIVE. IT’S NOT EVEN A SWEAR
#begging her to stop acting like her insecurities are universal#“well where I grew up it was considered offensive”#ok and where I grew up we’d call you a stupid gringa but I’m not imposing my cultural values on you#girl is acting like her culture is so special. YOU’RE A WHITE WOMAN WHO GREW UP IN MICHIGAN!!#YOU’RE NOT EVEN GERMAN.#sorry I got a little mad for a second there#anyways-#my stories hehe

Sometimes tumblr users expose you to flavors of racism you didn’t even think existed anymore
#the post about not knowing Mexico had electricity.#brother you’re on the Internet!! if you leave your bubble you can actually speak to people in Mexico right now!! online even!!#you just never considered it bc you associate modernity and civility with whiteness + being from the global north#honking

i like to imagine that the three legendaries you catch in Pokémon Black, Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion, aren’t just stuck in the Poké Balls.
But rather are traveling around, helping Pokémon in need.
They never stray too far from the trainer. With you being able to just hear their cries from afar, catching their shadow from atop a hill on a dark night. Maybe them lurking nearby whenever they sense danger, just a shout away for help in battle.
#Pokémon#Pokémon Black#Pokémon White#pokémon headcanons#rambly rambly ramblie loo#Writing#Idk i just think that makes sense#Considering you’re the first trainer or really human they’ve met in so long

So are we still going to call Robyn Dixon a lightskinned black woman when she’s really mixed if not white.
Personally, I think one of her parents lied and is actually a tan white person OR she’s the result of what happens when two mixed people have kids.
Also here’s Robyn’s caption:
#black girls of tumblr#people in the comments were fighting to call her Black because of the one drop rule#and they literally said that as the reason#also Robyn’s statement is just giving denial#yes black people have some white dna due to slavery#but that’s in the low numbers#like from 5-30%#if you’re near 60% white that’s not white dna from centuries ago that’s recent#and since I know that in the dmv(Delaware Maryland Virginia) area the lightskinned black folks over there have a history of inbreeding#with themselves or only having sex with other lightskins to keep those white features in the lineage#and this may very well be the reason why Robyn has so much white dna considering she’s from the Potomac area I believe#I also forgot to mention the lightskins also screwed biracials as well so it was more like biracials continuely reproducing with biracials#then the result of those two biracials being called lightskinned blacks because of one drop rule and racism#not to say all lightskinned black people are like Robyn and are actually mixed considering Africa has naturally lightskinned black people#Robyn Dixon#rhop

my friends r like weird about homeless people i feel like i have to keep saying like bro they’re not gonna fucking do anything to you. like. they are people having a rough fucking stroke of luck struggling and not receiving any help. being looked down on so much. just treat them with a litte humanity wtf
#like when ppl talk abt homeless people they really forget they’re talking about. people.#i understand being worried about anybody when you’re in a new place etc but i really do feel like it’s the White Woman conditioning#i’m just anxious around everybody and barely talk to strangers in public lol but. idk. i feel like it’s super degrading and insensitive the#way everyone’s talking abt them#abby talks#esp considering how many might be having mental health crises with no support or even just basic needs to fall back on. that fucking sucks#the one i’ll give a little grace to cause she had a bad experience in a subway but like still the others. y’all are being weird

“If you’re not constantly battling 24/7 you’re transphobic” maybe we’re just completely burnt out from the endless uphill battle you single braincelled amoeba
#i hate these kinds of posts#no room for nuance or understanding#just fucking#surzfuxtixgisit#you do your best day in and day out for years but if you dare grow tired from fighting both yours and others battles#you get labelled as uncaring and on the side of bigotry#I’m tired of being made to feel guilty for not having infinite mental energy#‘’if you’re not fighting every second forever clearly you hate trans people’’#first of all I AM TRANS YOU RUBE#Second of all I’ve tried arguing against the bigot-minded in my family#it’s literally the brick wall meme. and I’ve learnt some refuse to consider others (you learn this quick as an Autism Creature)#when minor disagreement is forced to be backed up with a colossal argument in defence you get life sucked from you like in The Mummy(1999)#black and white thinking helps few and hinders all#but I digress. I’m fucking exhausted from battling my own head and toxic unstable living situation#label me whatever I don’t give a fuck anymore I’m just venting and craving peace#I’ve forgotten how to relax. literally. my muscles are tense all damn day and night#i just want to relax for a second without seeing 200 posts saying if I’m not engaged in constant battle I’m siding with bigots and phobes#whatever

Do…. Do people actually have an issue with stuff being written in present tense?
#I’ve heard of POV preference but seeing all these posts about how much people dislike present tense#maybe I’m just not an observant reader but I can count the number of times I’ve actively noted a book/fic’s tense on one hand#and almost always it was because I liked how it worked with the author’s writing style#you’re telling me people will consider dropping something JUST because it’s in present tense??#genuinely can someone explain this to me?#I know some people don’t like first person pov because it feels too close and ‘I’ didn’t do anything. the character did#(I don’t really see it that way and don’t mind first person though I prefer third person)#and second person pov is rare and people don’t like it for the same reasons (being told what they as a reader ‘did’)#(I personally like second person pov a LOT but also prefer it to be a little treat actually suited to the story)#but verb tense?? as long as it all works grammatically I don’t see an issue#a lot of the examples I see of how present tense doesn’t work is showing two paragraphs side by side in the past and present#and I will agree that the present reads worse comparatively#but also it’s because the sentences were obviously (at least imo) written and structured for past tense first#and then ‘translated’ to present tense if that makes sense#I personally like how present tense lets me play with my sentences#but also I know that when I play with time and have a character recount past events within their own internal musings I switch tense#which I would think is allowed?? but maybe that’s bad form and I’m proving the point why past tense is ‘superior’#(I don’t really care for fic writing purposes as long as it flows and isn’t distracting but who’s to say)#anyways this was long but yeah. genuinely curious about this one#white weasel talks#tbd probs
