Pulled Up In The Matching Fits

X/Formerly known as twitter user states: Hi. It's day 42, and as a Palestinian and a journalist and a woman and a Muslim let me take this opportunity to remind you: Gaza is not your poverty porn. My extended family and my people are not a charity case. My roots and my culture are not tragic or unfortunate /1 I see the US and Canadian mainstream media have woken up to Gaza coverage but from a humanitarian perspective alone. Palestinians are being portrayed as dirt poor and unsanitary and so very desperate -thus leading this part of the world to see them -at best -as mere unlucky souls. 2/ And it's become normalized here to see these unlucky souls as sacrificial lambs in pursuit of some idealized greater good. Usually an illusion, and through a Western lens. 3/ Palestinians are threatened, harassed, detained, tortured, maimed, and killed by the Israeli occupation. This has been the case for decades while most of you looked away. You don't get to look back in now just to run a sad story that makes you feel good about yourself. 4/4

this has been annoying the absolute shit out of me, and people keeping talking about it, so lets talk about it: Nick Nelson reitirating that he is Bisexual is a necessity. It is literally him correcting people on HIS sexuality because others keep stating he is gay because he's in a relationship with someone of the same gender. It's not "cringe", it's not "stupid", its necessary. When you are part of the LGBTQ+ community you literally do not ever stop coming out. This is especially true in situations like Nick's - everyone automatically assumes that he is gay because he's with Charlie; he goes no, I'm Bi actually - because he is.

It'd be like someone assuming you were straight because you were with someone of the opposite gender, or gay/lesbian because you were with someone of the same gender.

He quite literally does not get to stop coming out, because other people are making assumptions and he is correcting those assumptions.

Say you're biphobic and fuck off.

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver

It breaks my heart and genuinely infuriates me to see people who identify as anti censorship and pro ship (I really think we should move away from this label this fight was never just about shipping) share anti smut and anti porn talking points.

No porn addiction doesn't exist.

No if you search for "smut" on ao3 it doesn't mean you're an addict.

No top/bottom tags and search of fics using those tags are not indication of porn addiction.

I want people to sit for one second and think who are they helping by pushing for recognition of porn addiction. Quickly tell me who is going to be institutionalized first under that diagnosis.

I am tired.
