saw a picture of the terrorists storming the capitol right now and one of them was holding a “jesus saves” poster and i think it’s time we have the conversation about christian terrorism in the united states

White allies do better….

  • Stop with the “oh well I’m white and i agree” or the “I’m white and I’m sorry for us” on posts about racism
  • Stop with the lengthy apologizes when you do something small like write the above on posts and someone calls you out on it
  • Stop asking me for my opinon on what this famous black person did
  • Stop asking me for my opinion on if a thing is racist or not
  • Stop asking me to explain basic racist shit to you
  • Stop telling black people about the time you called your racist uncle out on his racism or the protests you went to
  • Stop asking for my opinion on things you did that you’re scared is racist/has racist undertones
  • Stop with the white guilt… It ain’t helpin nobody
  • Stop asking one black person for their opinion on something about race… You gotta ask more black people if you want an accurate representation of something because not all of us are the same/think the same thing
  • Stop treating black people like we’re “professors” on racism

Google is free. Can y'all please start treating black people like actual people and not someone to teach you about racism. It’s exhausting

White people can and should reblog this

if any of the people storming the capitol rn were slightly less white they would've been fucking shot to death hours ago

Theyre deescalating and talking to them

In case anyone forgot, this was the capitol building less than 6 months ago when the protest was people saying “Please stop murdering us”

best job I ever had was manually removing aquatic plants from like, golf course ponds. I started out wearing waders, but the plants would be in too deep, so I just started wearing a bathing suit and water shoes and diving down under and just pulling cattails and stuff out by the roots. The thing was, when I’d first get started, the vegetation might be so thick it took up most of the pond, and I’d start in the deepest section so as I got tired I could move toward shore and start standing instead of swimming.

So I’d dive in and virtually disappear into the reeds

and it wasn’t until recently I thought about how many random tourists just saw some girl walk into an aesthetics pond in a swimsuit and dive under water and then just……….Not come back out

job description: golf course alligator

My fav part of this job is that it’s so bad for the golf course. Every year golf courses contact fish managers bc all of the fish in their ponds keep dying, and golfers’ families are upset bc they like fishing the ponds.

So we go test some water indices and usually find out that fertilizer runoff from the lawns has turned the pond into an oxygen void, so the fish all essentially suffocated, so we say “you need to build up a riparian buffer [wet habitat vegetation and trees that can absorb nitrates before they get into the water] around your pond”

And they’re like “no that looks ugly” and then they hire undergrads like me to remove the vegetation they do have

And then they’re like “wtf my fish are DEAD again!!!!”

It doesn’t end.

Golf course manager: I will pay you $8 an hour to destroy part of my business for aesthetic purposes

Me, putting on my goggles: say no more

X Neil Gaiman is the real MVP

My favourite comment:

Hm. I wonder why so many white people are pressed about Adam & Eve being Black?

And why are so many men are pressed about God being represented as a woman?

I saw Neil Gaiman speak a few weeks ago, and he talked about this exact thing. It was really interesting listening to him say (paraphrasing) “We did that on purpose so that the wrong people for the show would turn it off. If Adam and Eve being blacm offends them, the show isn’t for them, and the rest of the show is only going to offend them more.” Really interesting choice, and it looks like It’s working just as planned!

For real though, It’s better that the bigots bail in the first five minutes. Can you imagine if they watched all of it and realized how subversive the plot is? How it turns most religious beliefs on their heads and is gay to boot? Chaos and never ending white rage. I’m glad we don’t have to deal with that.

possibly the most important addition this week on Hozier Liked

Indentured servitude is opresssion.

Indentured servitude is not chattel slavery.

The Irish were oppressed and have a history of indentured servitude.

The Irish were not bought and sold or held as property generation to generation.

Please stop confusing the two. Thanks.
