The thing is, I’m from South Africa, and as anyone born here after 1994 will tell you, the history of apartheid is drilled into us every year in school. No matter what other history we do, we always get back to apartheid.

One of the things we study is how and why apartheid came to an end; among the biggest reasons was international pressure. A point we usually touch on is how apartheid-era South African athletes could not compete in international sporting events like the Olympics. I once met a woman who was a world class athlete during the latter years of apartheid. She could not compete in the Olympics as a South African, and had to leave the country and join up with another country to take part.

And that is why I couldn’t understand, watching the Olympics opening ceremony last night, that Israel was allowed to be there.

If the world was better at dealing with apartheid states thirty years ago than it is now, I think we have a problem.

Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.

this started as a joke but then i started actually thinking about it and now im really annoyed that IDs have this one letter that doesnt mean anything for cis people and is a huge pain in the ass for trans people when we could instead have literally lifesaving information so emergency medical services could just check ur wallet to see which blood to give you so you dont die or whatever But No
