I think this is my first post to break 100. Clearly many of us have issues.

very often i think about this one anecdote from my life that despite being 100% real just seems almost comically tailor-made to prove a point about passport privilege, like it's so on the nose

so i'm in a car with my (white, usamerican) girlfriend and her (white, usamerican) sister and (white, usamerican) sister's boyfriend, right, driving over the border from mexico to arizona. and the border guy looks in through our window, looks at me, stops us, asks "does everyone here have a US passport" and i'm like, well, no, and he's like "okay you're going to have to pull over" and then before that actually happens i pull out my UK passport in all its burgundy pre-brexit-finalization EU glory and he immediately visibly relaxes and all tension evaporates and he says "go on ahead" and so we do

the night-and-day change between this guy thinking i could be mexican and realizing i actually had a nice fancy imperial core passport is something i will never forget when people try to be mealy mouthed about the privileges of imperial citizenship yknow?

its a bad photo but there is straight up two lines in international airports for the 'good' passports and the rest. most of the imperial core don't even know that people have to do credit checks to get into their country, and then turn around to complain about how much better other places have it.

ppl talk about search engines universally getting worse mostly as a personal inconvenience, so it wasnt until just now that it dawned on me that vast amounts of the information stored on the internet becoming increasingly difficult if not impossible to access could have actually catastrophic consequences for like, all of human society

Not sorry but if you consider a person automatically and irredeemably guilty because of their country of birth, country of residence, religion, or ethnicity, you’re just a bigot actually, no matter what reason or excuse you might give yourself for why it’s morally good this one time.

transmisogyny and transphobia has done such a number on feminism and the fact that its bled into the mainstream is actually oustanding......... if someone in 2014 said that women are biologically and intellectually weaker than men thered be a buzzfeed article mocking them in the hour, now it's like. policy.
