when doctors ask if i have any history of cancer in my family and i have to say that yes my grandmother had 2 types of gastrointestinal cancer and they're like oh wow okay so we'll keep an eye out for that but i'm like no it was probably just all the nuclear radiation and they're like ok hm ok what the fuck do you mean and it's very weird seeing the look on american doctors' faces when you have to explain to them that believe it or not atomic bombs were dropped on this earth 2 generations ago and it did have consequences

there are so many dreadful things about living under late stage capitalism but one of the absolute worst is the rabid praise and celebration of mediocrity. it's never been easier in human history to access the endless supply of history and media across every culture imaginable and yet people only want the content equivalent of a cold hot dog with ketchup on it.

the dominance of the MCU, endless nostalgia bait remakes of everything possible, taylor swift, adults obsessed with bad YA novels written for 12 year olds, nearly all of disney's output, shounen anime being the only media some people consume... the list goes on. it's nauseating! this isn't even a case of trying to elevate my taste over everyone else it's just maddening to see people pull out the submarine to plunge the depths of a puddle. don't you want more?? is unsalted mashed potatoes and nothing else really enough for you???

On related note, a few years ago, the Entomological Society of America officially discontinued the use of "gypsy moth" and "gyspy ant" as common names for Lymantria dispar and Aphaenogaster araneoides. L. Dispar is now known as the "spongy moth," so named for the appearance of their eggs, but I don't think a new common name has caught on for the ant species yet.

These changes we brought about, in large part, by the advocacy of Romani people in academia. You might not think that bug names are a very serious issue, but I believe that language matters. These species became known as "gypsies" because their attributes were likened to certain stereotypes and negative perceptions of actual Roma, so the continued use of those names reaffirmed those negative associations in the public consciousness. Slurs and pejoratives can never be truly decontexualized.

In my mind, one of the biggest obstacles that Romani people face when we are trying to advocate for ourselves is a lack of recognition as a marginalized group that deserves the necessary consideration. Even for seemingly trivial matters, like bugs or comic book characters, the way that people talk about us-- and talk down to us, when we get involved-- is telling. So, I always think that changes like this are a win, because it means that people are willing to learn and grant us the dignity we deserve. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to effect change in your own field, even arts and science.

See shit like this is why y’all need to shut up about bi lesbian discourse because it’s seeping into real life and straight men are co-opting wlw terms and pressuring lesbians into relationships/sex. I’m not about to tolerate men pursuing me ANYWAYS because they don’t know if I’m homoromantic or whatever. And yes , straight men were already self entitled enough as it is, but y’all don’t need to add fuel to the fire

every person who condescends to a palestinian american about voting for biden owes them $20 and you also deserve a one way trip to hell, no stops.

#you have no right to tell palestinian americans of all people who they can and can't vote for #'but trump!' people on here have lost family members because of biden shoveling money to 'israel' so they can decimate gaza #at this point they have every right to tell you to take a leap off a bridge and do a flip
