Hey this is an important post!!!

Alright everyone I've made a gogle doc! This is a list of words and descriptive phrases to describe dark skinned poc readers/characters. This list is to help people respectfully write poc better!

This list is incomplete as I just made it, I'll add to it regularly

But you can also add to this list!

Too add too the list you can either send an ask with the word/phrase and I'll add it, it you can add it yourself by fallowing the link!

Now some rules

ABSOLUTELY NO USEING FOOD DESCRIPTORS OR ANIMAL DESCRIPTORS

If your confused on this then I'll explain, but essentially I've seen a lot of poc tired of being described with food/animals. So treat it with the same creativity you'd treat pale skin with

Be respectful of the purpose of this list

Be racist get blocked, 😃 I'm not gonna put up with bs today

Make sure the word isn't something that has a bad double meaning

More rules will be added as I go along

Poc are always welcome and I'd love if you'd add to this list

Google doc ;

foolish would be the type to walk through a field full of live landmines and be none the wiser and not set any of them off

some of y'all really need to re-examine what the word racist means because it's not always just "loud and proud white supremacist intentionally causing harm". sometimes it's "otherwise 'nice' person acting on internalized racial biases that they refuse to examine".

like my god the second "racist" gets dropped in a conversation some of you completely shut down under the weight of all your white fragility and refuse to listen to or act upon any criticism of your harmful actions, however intentional or unconscious they may be, and it's honestly pathetic. grow the hell up. learn to be uncomfortable in discussions about racism or you're never going to become better.

I remember working as a retail intern at Ikea, helping people design their kitchen on the computers.

I especially remember the anti-Karen I helped once. After spending quite a bit of time helping her, she asked to see my manager. I had just started out a few weeks earlier, and let me tell you I got so scared hearing those words. I told her my manager wasn’t here but that if she had something to say, an older colleague was in charge of us interns. She went to him (I was basically dying inside), and told him that I had done tremendously good work, and that she wished he told that to the manager. It was so kind. 

I also remember the young man who, upon learning I was an intern, asked me what stuff I still had trouble doing and asked for just that. We both knew he had no intention of buying that plain stone, super expensive custom-made tabletop. But he thought it would be a good occasion for me to practice with no pressure. He let me take all the time I needed to get it right. That was nice.

The old lady I helped twice, and who wanted to add some details and order her furniture in a month or so ; when I told her I wished her well because my internship would be over by then, she seriously considered rushing a little because she wanted to keep working with me. It was nice.

The three 30ish friends who worked at some factory for what I know to be low wages, that I helped for two hours with some complicated kitchen layout. They wanted to give me a tip, even though tips are far from common in France, let alone in Ikea. I refused because it was against the rules. They insisted I was barely paid and did great work. Still no. They gave me some papers back, and I found 10 euros inbetween the pages. 

The lady who also wanted to give a tip -and let me know that I should check the third drawer in the exposition kitchen. I found 20 euros there. 

The woman who thanked me for making her very shy teenage daughter laugh to tears while working on their kitchen plan. 

Wherever those people are now, I hope they’re well. Be kind to retail workers. It may not be much to you, but I can assure you we do remember those things even seven years later. This is just so important.

Everytime I hear the phrase "Great Minds think alike" I am inevitably reminded that the German equivalent is "Zwei Dumme ein Gedanke" (Two Idiots same thought)

the trope of 'this entity exists only because we think it does' is so so so fucking good and cannot be overdone in my opinion

like the idea that you built the monster hunting you, that you invited the entity into our world, that your fear is what it feeds on, and that once made real, it cannot possibly be killed because you're stuck in this loop of 'he's real because i'm scared' and 'i'm scared because he's real'
