Quick post on what’s happening in Atlanta right now

So there’s this beautiful trail in Atlanta called the South River Forest Trail. As we all know, Atlanta Georgia is renowned for their tree cover and historic forests. 

The City of Atlanta and corporations like Delta, AT&T and Amazon are funding a massive police training center that will destroy the forest.

Dubbed ‘cop city’ by many protesters, this will cost about $90 billion with a B to build. This will be used to further militarize Atlanta’s police leading to more incidents of police brutality in the city. 

On January 18th indigenous activist Manuel “Tortuguita” Teran was shot and killed by the police for defending this historic forest from destruction. Their reason? “He did not comply”. Many protests have been going on in Atlanta to defend this forest.

Since Tortuguita’s death, the situation has quickly deteriorated

This forest is very dear to me but I am unable to physically protest at the moment, so I am handing this off to Tumblr to spread awareness. Rebloging this may help this tragedy become part of national news instead of just an Atlanta problem.

HANK! PORN’S STILL BANNED ON TUMBLR! THEY HAVEN’T CHANGED THE RULES, HANK! DON’T POST TITS! HAAAAAAAAANK!

Blackness to me is inherently gender nonconforming largely because we will never fit into binary white supremacist notions of manhood and womanhood.

Angela Davis actually touches on this in her novel Women, Race, and Class.

Essentially, she says that Black women may have been considered genderless because we did all the same work as men but then weren’t considered men when it came to sexual abuse, suddenly being forced into these feminine, submissive roles that we clearly didn’t fit into. Once the Atlantic Slave Trade was banned, Black women were then seen as breeders to provide for slaves since they couldn’t be imported. Despite this, Black women, even if we were pregnant, still had to work in the fields and suffer the same punishment as our male counterparts.

Angela Davis goes on further to say that since Black women were never seen as housewives, Black men were in turn never seen as family providers or heads of households. By this point, Black women had acquired an abundance of traits that didn’t fit into 19th century perception of what it meant to be a woman. Also, with the rise of industrialization, white women never experienced that same intensive labor which further pushed them into the housewife stereotype. Essentially, there was this white feminist movement to erase the housewife stereotype but it didn’t include the struggles of Black women because we were never seen as housewives to begin with.

All of this to say: We were genderless and outside of any gender norm within the white supremacist framework.

Reminder that we offer the novel mentioned above, Women, Race, and Class by Angela Davis, as a free PDF for anyone to read under our social justice resources. Please share so everyone has equal and equitable access to education and activism!

This is what happens when yall applaud rodents meant to be hiding in caves. I already knew he was crazy when he said he was sad that he couldn’t shoot people with his army brother and be a true patriot. Only a deranged cockroach attacks a old woman for no reason other than because he has the power to do so… but that’s your cottage cheese king tho.

not to prove my last post correct immediately but wow like thousands of people on this site saw a post that basically says "yeah, history happened. colonization happened. it's in the past, get over it and move on" because a few Maori people on this site pointed out that a SEA SHANTY you people recently decided you love is very racist. a sea shanty. we are defending colonialism and making lengthy, multi-paragraph posts about "woke-scolding" over a sea shanty. the way you reveal how little you actually care about any of the things you claim to believe in is because someone said a sea shanty you didn't know existed until last week is racist. I'm sorry but like a SEA SHANTY.

Y’all already know it’s 4 pm time for your daily dose of giving me serotonin through tiktok engagement

Drift.

The people who wrote Yashahime made a few decisions when writing this episode.

They decided to have a 15-year old Rin give birth.

They decided that Sesshomaru impregnated a 14-year old who can not give consent to an adult man who holds a position of authority over her.

They decided that this happened months before Kagome felt ready to have a child.

They decided to let Rin refer to her husband as “Lord” and use language used by servants.

They decided to have Rin refer to herself in the third person, a trait associated with children.

They decided that Sesshomaru - unlike Miroku who was working - was in the village during the birth but didn’t bother to be with Rin.

They decided that Sesshomaru would not even look at the girl that had just given birth to his children, take the twins and leave. All while only addressing Kagome, never Rin.

They decided to make Rin so submissive to Sesshomaru that she let him take her newborn babies away from her without even questioning it.

And some fans are now celebrating this.

Fucking disgusting.

Why is it whenever ppl bring up things that have colonial implications or a history within colonialism, people get like reaaaally pissy about it & act like we're makin shit up to ruin their fun just for like. Talking about something that hurt us & still does

"Um the wellerman isnt about colonizing, its about the working class 🙄" idk how to tell you working class white people still had power & privilege over Indigenous Maori people in New Zealand & also had a hand in colonialism

Black ppl: H@milton is a revisionist musical that glorifies colonizers & slave owners into a quirky show, whilst the writer is not black and himself had lobbied for U.S imperialism in Puerto Rico

White fans: that's fake no it doesn't, you're reading too much into it & overreacting, let people enjoy things

Natives: c0ttagecore & romantisizing farm life or "escaping" to some land to own a farm or cottage actually has a history of colonialism, manifest destiny, & farms have historically & still are utilized in the colonization process

White fans: that's fake no it doesn't, you're reading too much into it & overreacting, let people enjoy things

Māori & Black people: A lot of shanties are literally talking about colonization or the white working class participating in it, & Shanties were an offshoot from working songs. The Wellerman specifically is named after a company that screwed over and colonized Māori people in New Zealand while whaling in its seas & importing goods stolen from colonized countries, including ones forcibly cultivated by black people in the form of slavery, like cotton or sugar

White fans: that's fa--

here’s your damn fish
