Another reason why Donald Glover’s ‘Atlanta’ is one of the best shows on television…

this was genius

This scared me so much when I saw this lol

If u dnt get it it aint for u smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

I fucking hate it when I’m scrolling through a good blog thinking “hmm might follow this” and then I see that ridiculous post whitesplaining to black Americans that racism is “different” in Europe and that white people can be victims of racism here.

No. We’re not. White people from Poland and Romania and other countries can be victims of xenophobia. People of colour are victims of racism. And racism in the UK looks much like racism in America - we have police brutality against black people, a disproportionate amount of black people in prison, Islamophobic hate crime, lack of POC representation in our media, a disproportionate amount of POCs living in poverty and all the rest of it.

White people are not victims of racism. We can be victims of xenophobic hate crime, xenophobic discrimination and xenophobic legislation but we will never ever be victims of racism.

And you can sit there and shrug and say “meh same difference” but it fucking matters. It matters because white people are responsible for racism whether we like it or not. We all benefit from white privilege and we’re all complicit to varying degrees. When people blur the lines between racism and xenophobia, it leads to the fallacy that anyone can be a victim of racism, which means nobody is really responsible and nobody has any particular obligation to examine their thoughts and actions.

Xenophobia is dangerous and life threatening and oppressive. We don’t have to mislabel it as racism to understand that. Racism and xenophobia have separate histories and separate causes. It’s not difficult to learn the difference.

I feel like re-watching all of these over the next few weeks.

Ok but why is body positivity so focused on telling people that they’re beautiful, rather than telling them that beauty is not the highest achievement for human beings?

OH SHIT THERE IT IS

Concept: More aesthetic pictures featuring poc

The books I intend to have my child read one day, and the order in which I’ll have them do it.

Fixed it so that they’re on one post instead of photos in the comments. It’s not really in order now, just a part 1 of books to have them read early on and then revisit together years later to see how their perceptions of the books and subtle nuances they didn’t notice before change. I think that as a parent you can be extremely disengaged from how your child is actually progressing, and I think this is a way that I can see their progress in how they think and see the world.

PSYCHOLOGY FACT #577

You can “rewire” your brain to be happy by simply recalling 3 things you’re grateful for every day for 21 days.

Mother Teresa is going to be declared a saint... and she shouldn’t be

I’m not shocked but honestly I’m so disappointed. I’m a girl who grew up in Kolkata, someone who grew up hearing about Mother Teresa and to be honest I hate the fact that the liberal, white, Western media has held this woman as some sort of paragon of virtue. And she really wasn’t. Here are some things she did:

There are more shady things about her but I’m over this beatification of Mother Teresa. I’m over her, and I’m over this constant fawning. Kolkata isn’t the “city where Mother Teresa lived”. It has it’s own identity and Mother Teresa doesn’t, at least in my opinion, deserve this honour that the Catholic Church is bestowing on her. 

Can I please add that time when she called AIDS a “just retribution for improper sexual conduct”.

HOLY SHIT

I have literally never heard any of this about her before and this is horrifying…the fact that she was a misogynist and a bigot just gets glossed over and forgotten and instead everyone who talks about her seems to just talk about her as if she was some kindly old woman who never did a thing wrong…

It’s kind of horrifying to think that I’ve learned more about what people like her or Ghandi were really like than I ever did from history class…where they’re held up as being these great and saintly heroes…

I’ve never heard these things. Is this accurate and where can i get further information?

Ok, so I’ve been seeing a lot of people who want sources. Please don’t be rude- Google is out there please use it, it’s a free service. Either way, here are some other sources you can use to further your knowledge:

Please watch

Between the T.O. HOF shit and Colin Kaepernick, I really am done with the NFL. I won’t ever watch this shit again. How you allow rapists, murderers, abusers, drug addicts and dealers to cook but a nigga stand up for himself and it’s a problem. Roger Goodell can suck my dick. Fuck the NFL.

I consider Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers) to be the embodiment of Maya Angelou’s quote: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”.

keep the things that make you happy to be yourself close to your heart

A feminine Male is not a Gay Male Gay is a sexual preference, not a choice in expression, unless you’re talking about the Gay as in happy. I’m coming out as a straight Male to say that I embrace my femininity, without a misunderstanding of my sexual orientation through perceived societal constructs of how a Man should behave.

Stop stereotyping everything. I like Pink and Heart Emojis. 💕

Elvis Presley was out dating 14 year olds n shit and was never accused of being a pedophile but Michael Jackson is still accused til this day of being one when there is actual proof he never touched any children in a sexual way.

Things that make you say hmm 🤔

But we all know why 👋🏾😒

The world and its ways🙄✌🏽️

Elvis Presley making everyone think he invented rock n roll basically stealing from black culture and on top of that he’s a pedophile. YET people still love and adore him and you never see anything bad written about him. Then you got MICHAEL MUTHAFUCKIN JACKSON who broke down racial barriers, changed the game for pop music and music videos, greatest entertainer of all time who put all his heart and soul into his performances, and donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charities, but people see him as a freak, pedophile, say that he hated his race and bleached his skin. Now does that make any damn sense?????

I find it fascinating that people who choose not to have children are generally assumed to feel really strongly about not having children (or even to feel really strongly against children, anyone’s children, in general). I am probably not going to have children, not because I REALLY REALLY HATE the idea of having children, but because I don’t really really love it. Out of all the major decisions I will make in my life, this one is the only irreversible one. I can sell a house, quit a job, divorce a spouse, whatever. I cannot unhave a child. I cannot opt out of being a parent once I become a parent. I can’t even take a step back for the sake of self-care or whatever, or else my child will suffer.

So for me, having children is fuck yes or not at all. The default will be to remain childfree. Having children should be an opt-in decision, not an opt-out one. Until/unless I develop really strong feelings about wanting to have children, I won’t have them, even if that means I never end up having them at all.

As a mother, I really wish more people gave having children this kind of clear contemplation and thought. It’s an irreversible decision. Too many people don’t understand that.

this this this this this.

If your SO can't make a decision about where to eat, play the 5-2-1 game. You give them 5 restaurants, they pick two, and you pick from those.

My gf of 3 years is the queen of “wherever” and “I don’t care” when it comes to this. This little game fixed our problem immediately. It takes the pressure off of her, but still gives her a choice about where to eat.

(this can also work with kids and indecisive friends)
