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

Wanna make my own discord server full of the asoiaf girlies (gender neutral) who love asoiaf but hate the fandom and like. Don’t police opinions or ships and just embrace open-minded discussion about all the adaptations and the books equally and just. Engage with the content without fuck ass weirdos being fuck ass weirdos. A place where people’s opinions can be nuanced and we and just. Hang out. But I won’t. Because I ain’t got time and effort for all that. Also that’s a pipe dream and it will never happen bc fandom culture is so toxic.
#because I’m getting real sick of being policed bc I enjoy literally every character#and every storyline#and I don’t have an otp and I ship a lot of the bc characters evenly#and enjoy the nuance and the morally and ethically greatness of the characters#bc they’re truly human and 4 dimensional#but no#apparently you’re required to take a black or white stance on the series#have you ever considered enjoying things?#just enjoying things?#just letting yourself enjoy the thing?#asoiaf#personal

being native rn feels insane. Like at some point shit just becomes really funny. White americans are so insanely INSANELY deluded all you can do is laugh at them, because if you dont laugh your head will explode into flames and you’ll go out into the streets indiscriminately stabbing white people like your life depends on it.
#personal#ndn#There is something so bitter about targeting latinos (Specifically brown latinos) too#Considering most of the people white americans are going after are ethnically indigenous to this continent#You freaks just made up a border but we all know you didn’t come from here#You came from Europe#Now you’re acting like you own the place??#Sick shit#Such vile repulsive unforgivable people#Your souls will never find peace in life or death#your borders mean shit#Honestly i hope your fake worthless country breaks down into a million little pieces#I hope your worthless government implodes#I hope you suffer#i hope you lose all your money#I hope your borders break down#I hope you lose the spotlight I hope you fight each other to the death and I hope you leave me and my people all the way out of it#I hope you’re remembered with disdain I hope you dont even get to be spoken in the same breath as Rome since I know thats what you want#I hope you’re nothing worth remembering#I hope your fall from power is fast yet gradual and painfully uninteresting#I hope that stings#I hope in the end america is remembered as a failed nation and I hope white americans become the minority one day#i hope you burn#I hope your hatred is what kills you

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

i know i say this all the time but white people are basically never allowed to compare any kind of oppression they experience to racism
#the adas speak#when i do it it’s bc i actually have nuanced experiences with it and know what the hell i’m talking about#white people you cannot just use racism as the bogeyman bad thing you don’t actually understand#and use inaccurate comparisons because you want people to take you seriously. that’s only going to backfire#white people who still consistently experience racism bc ppl often perceive them as poc may be able to understand it better#but even then you probably don’t *need* to make your argument about racism#and understanding the experience isn’t necessarily understanding the history/community you’re talking about#as a rule of thumb just consider shutting the fuck up#calling people out on racism with your white privilege is good#but acting like you understand racism well enough to compare it to your bigotry is not#if you understood racism well enough to do that you wouldn’t be doing it#it keeps happening so i keep saying it. i’ll shut up if you do :)

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

god i hate white people
#someone close to me said something really hurtful i guess that really made me realize that the playing field is not equal.#idk how to express myself. like the baseline of privilege the poorest white person is afforded is staggering#you don’t have to pay attention to anything happening in the world you don’t have to read political literature you don’t even have to watch#the news. saying you’re too depressed or busy by/for current events is an adequate excuse.#so so many of you convince yourselves you’ve outgrown bias and the thinking patterns forced on you by virtue of the importance your race#affords you in society but even the most well-practiced can will and do slip up revealing that it’s all still there#and you still consider everything in the world a hobby. activism is a hobby that makes you feel good#caring about the world is a sport you play. at the end of the day no matter how much you care it’s all still there#idk. most of all i hate people who blame ignorance on mental illness. no i don’t fucking care you have anxiety or depression#nobody gets to tell ME about how bad mental illness can be. but i’m not white so i have to give a fuck#ok rant over. and some of this is real beliefs i hold and some is just me being angry so keep that in mind ok.

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

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
