It gives me huge millennials calling dogs “doggo” vibes
The problem I have with "unalive" is that its so fucking swagless at least in cartoons when they were told to tone it down for the kiddos and couldnt use kill and hell they used destroy and shadow realm or whatever but unalive???? 0 effort 0 cool its an embarrassment
Manitoba NDP MLA Nahanni Fontaine was kicked out of the Manitoba legislature today for saying that the PC’s (Conservatives) “Don’t give a crap about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People”.
I feel like so many (especially young) people here on tumblr were beaten over the head again and again with “believe the victims, stop asking them to prove their victimhood” and instead of understanding that this means “don’t dogpile victims because you like the abuser” instead took it to the no-nuance end of the pool and turned it into “if you hear something bad about someone don’t go looking for sources or context” and those are not the same things
You should look at sources. Always. Taking a moment to say “wait, who said that? what happened?” isn’t victim blaming, it isn’t siding with an abuser, its taking a step back to understand a whole picture, in its context.
When you do this,
you are actually a better ally than just knee-jerk, superficial, performative support.
you can approach with nuance.
you can avoid speaking over them, and learn how to be a better, more supportive ally.
you can avoid repeating old claims that have already been either addressed or disproven.
you can avoid propaganda and disinformation, which not only serves to undermine whoever its about, but it undermines everyone else.
This post is about political disinformation, but when people get away with making false allegations about abuse or racism or homophobia or any other gross behavior it undermines the positions of actual victims because people who are prone to bad faith can say “ah, that was a scam, victims are scammers”. When you make false claims about politicians, you undermine the political process and allow people who are prone to bad faith to say “see I don’t need to participate”.
I know we hate checking facts and sources here on the internet, but that’s the whole point of the internet. Information is available, and you should be checking your sources before you make claims about people.
Feeling some type of way abt all these white (and to some degree nonblack poc) bloggers saying “let’s throw bricks again” and “bring back riots”
Like I saw y’all foaming at the mouth abt the black and brown stripe pride flag. I haven’t forgot that some of y’all talking abt riots now where cowering at the mere mention of blm protests. I don’t want nothing to do with any of y’alls “riots” till y’all do something abt your racism, esp your antiblackness.
I practice my culture every single day, my hair is a part of me, I’ve never cut it, I’ve never dyed it, I’ve never done anything to it but braid it and brush it and I’ve been growing it since I was a baby.
My hair is a part of me, it’s treated as a body part, when my grandmother passed away I seriously considered cutting it, and I would’ve if my grandfather and my mom didn’t beg me to keep it in her honour.
When I heard the scissors cutting through his hair I felt my heart drop, watching it fall to the floor I felt his pain. This video was so heartbreaking to watch
Seth Cardinal Dodginghorse from the Tsuut’ina First Nation cuts off his braided hair in response to Calgary’s Ring Road being built which has required his home be destroyed (the home has been in the family for 5 generations).
