#‘but when it was blm—‘

[chrollohearttags]

y’all don’t be giving what y’all think you do when you compare one oppressed group to another. Quickest way for me to tune the fuck out of what you’re saying.

#‘but when it was blm—‘ #and what did black people get besides gaslighted and disrespected #not to mention the whole movement was co opted and has been boiled down to a quirky aesthetic for non blks #we said stop killing us and everybody got defensive lmao get the fuck #I guess all lives matter and blue lives matter was just a joke #don’t piss me the fuck off #you can support Palestine without guilt tripping black ppl #cherry chats 🍒 #the organization at its core is trash now anyways so where do we go from here

[bonneblah]

reminder to be wary of calls for 'fundraising'. palestinians have been saying over and over again donations can't reach them AT ALL. money would be best used to support people involved in direct action (like blocking weapons shipments)

Y’all’s behavior and attitude towards boycotting in support of an entire race of people going through literal genocide is actually very weird and I’m wishing the worst on you if you can’t put down a 10$ coffee or a random McDonald’s order to show the barest form of solidarity

#pimptalks #because yes yall do call every social movement a trend #and normally you’re proven wrong (ex. BLM) but this time yall really are treating it as a trend and it’s so weird #especially when it’s happening right in front of my face and not even just on social media #seeing ppl who constantly repost in support of Palestine walk around my school w their McDonald’s meals and Starbucks cups feels unreal #and kind of unsettling how they’re so comfortable with being so preformative #it’d be different if they genuinely had no other options but they 100% do they just don’t take them #‘the food ain’t killing people’ like you can’t be anymore ignorant #and the collective ‘im one person what difference do i make’ mentality ruins EVERYTHING #like you are one of many and when one person has that attitude other ppl get it too

Selena Gomez making herself the victim? Must be a day ending in Y.

This month is Black History Month so I want to give a shout-out to all the Black mspec lesbians! Queer history wouldn't be what it is without black people, and the whitewashing of queerness is so disgusting when black queer people have been a huge part of our community and led many of the fights for our rights! And it's even more unfortunate when your own community, the lesbian community, turns on you and uses the terms (nonman and nonwoman) that were used to degender you and other black people as a way to prove your identities are not "real" or "valid." Black bi lesbians, Black pan lesbians, Black poly lesbians, Black omni lesbians, Black abro lesbians, and all Black lunians, you're amazing. You matter so much to this community. We wouldn't be the same without you.

#black history month #blacklivesmatter #black lives matter #mspec lesbian #bi lesbian #mspec lesbian safe #bi lesbian safe #mspec lesbian positivity #bi lesbian positivity #I'm so sorry I didn't make this post earlier #black people will always be a part of our community #it's frankly disgusting that the lesbian community uses racist terms to argue against good faith identities #and even worse when they're using them when arguing against actual black people. that were degendered using those terms #blm #bhm

i remember talking to my mom in like december and she was very confident in israel and i was like "mom they're doing genocide" and she was like "i'm not comfortable with you calling it a genocide" and i was so frustrated and baffled by that that "how many people would have to die before you consider it a genocide" just came out of my mouth and it was like rhetorical befuddlement and in retrospect i regretted asking it bc it was a bad question but she was like "hmm id have to think about that" and i just think about it all the time like man thousands of people were dead hundreds dying every day and you an american upper class jew who visited israel and proclaimed praise at how "multicultural" it was who can "return" to it whenever you want even though it's never been your or anyone in your family's home have to think about at what level YOU'RE comfortable with it being called genocide. really just exemplifies all of it for me. she and the rest of my family get to hide behind the holocaust as a defense for anything. a genocide isn't a genocide except in retrospect when you can feel comfortable by saying no one could have known (except people did)

#alex talks #like i'd expect that from my dad he's conservative (which btw crazy he talks about how antisemitism is on the rise and jews are threatened #to be excluded 'by the democracy they helped create' whatever the fuck that means but also will say in the same breath that he thinks blm #are a terrorist organization like ok say more plainly and loudly that u only care about oppression when it might tangentially affect you!) #but my mom is normally a well meaning liberal i guess it just goes to show you how far a well meaning liberals politics will extend in #actually active situations of genocide (not far)

As much as I dislike Twitter, and frankly most other socmeds at the moment, I'm very scared watching how quickly it's declining, how quickly everyone's engagement is dying. I understand where people are coming from when they say not to put all your eggs in one basket, to branch out and post elsewhere, but people do understand how difficult that is, right?

As an artist you're doing the jobs of 6 people when posting online, and then to have the added expectation put onto you to join other sites, learn their algorithms, learn their trends, cater your art to the people who use it on top of all of that? And to have to do that 3 or 4 times??? Even more because you never know if the next new socmed will be The New Big Thing!!! No wonder everyone is so fucking burnt out.

This isn't even mentioning all the machine learning bullshit that's happening right now and the exploitation of every single creative across the fucking board.

People rely on Twitter.

People's LIVELYHOODS rely on Twitter.

As shitty as it's been in the past it's also one of the most reliable places I've seen people get engagement. Art shares, Portfolio day, Ocs shares, Raffles - the speed I've seen people reach emergency funding goals? I know it's kinder to some more than others, but it used to be much kinder.

It's terrifying watching what was once a pillar of engagement and outreach crumble. I'm very scared for our futures.

#bo posting #bo.txt #i cant even get into the loss of community aid #the loss of information? #the loss of.... fuck like #when the pandemic started #when BLM protests were at their height #when you could get LIVE UPDATES on everything happening #covid numbers? #like dont get me wrong i understand that relying on one central website to get all your information isnt good #but that doesnt mean Twitter wasnt integral and important #im so afraid for my future #and the future of so many other people #i genuinely hope Elon Musk dies a sudden and painful death for what hes done #ugh #vent

from a very cold lens this moment is the first time Americans under the age of 40 have seen genocide relatively up close and personal.

because the US and Israel are so tied, american teens have unprecedented exposure to a war on the ground. civilians have been uploading first-person, live-streaming videos to tiktok and instagram. and this is probably a large factor in israel shutting down gaza's communications.

i know as a millenial, yes, we were exposed to 9/11 but the kind of exposure we had was minimal compared to this. a lot of young people have no concept of how terrible war is - not in a concrete way. and this isn't even really a war, it's a genocide.

i guess time will tell whether the propaganda machine will be able to gaslight it away

#israel #gaza #palestine #edit: i just wanted to clarify that we did experience something more immediate when BLM was at its most active

Will white queers please come and get their people

The staggering half-wittedness of this logic aside, ALL OF THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING YOU IGNORANT FUCKS PEOPLE ARE GETTING FIRED REPORTED AND DOXXED RIGHT AND LEFT.

I cannot tell you of the depth of my sheer, utter loathing for these craven, snivelling, ghouls. The last fucker doing this with both the trans flag and Palestine flag in their bio is the final insult. There has been a barrage of these posts by white queers both here and on twitter in tandem with the escalation of Israeli bombings, and some of the responses have been in the vein of "yes we know, but now is not the time". As if it that makes it any less repugnant or your hands any less stained in blood.

After three fucking weeks, the Rafah border has been opened for all of 500 people, most foreigners and dual citizens and a handful of gravely injured Palestinians. Instead of calling for a ceasefire, this demon wants brownie points for letting them leave and leaving the other two million people with a few trucks of """"aid""". So they can patch themselves up before getting blown to pieces. And repeatedly, repeatedly, liberals want us to acknowledge this as the "good" we will lose if Trump comes to power.

This grief is fathomless, depthless, unbearable. Anyone who does this is the same as fascist appeasers and collaborationists. Kids in cages? You don't care about kids being massacred!White queers will literally lick the boots of genociders and child-murderers. You would have sold Jews out to the Nazis, the African slaves back to the slavers, the Civil Rights Movement to the segregationists, the Indigenous tribes to the scalpers and their children to the residential schools.

If you are our allies please shut these scumbuckets down. Otherwise, don't worry, I'm sure the Democrats are gearing up to be the same kind of defenders to you that they've been to Muslims, Latin immigrants and the Black community. Genocide will definitely feel better if you've chosen who gets to do it to you.

#i'm too exhausted and heartsick to do alt text #if someone wants to do it for me i'll add it #i dont know why i keep expecting the bare minimum of decency from white or western people lmao #but how do we feel like we belong or that we're safe here #when our noses keep getting rubbed in the fact that we're less than worthless to them #it's always fuckers with progress flags and blm and whatever flag in their bio #how do you look at 3500 dead children and square your conscience #white privilege #white sociopathy #white queers #western leftists #free palestine #fuck joe biden #genocide joe #palestinian genocide #palestine #war crimes #knee of huss

The claim that from the River is a call for genocide pisses me off so much bc there's so many other coded phrases and terms out there that do call for genocide of Jews and they're coming from white supremacists. Things like the 14 words and blood and soil which have clear and obvious connections to white supremacist violence with history to back it up. Saying "from the River to the sea means genocide against Jews" is the kind of insane logical leap that has anyone with a brain going ????????? Because how tf do you see the action and history attached to that and say "ah yes, freedom for Palestinians is genocide for Jewish people". Uh all can't be saying this when Palestinians themselves are literally always talking about living in peace with Jewish people and how they keep bringing up photographs of Jews Muslims and Christians all living together in harmony before the establishment of the state of Israel.

Like goddamn y'all really can't fathom living in peace with Palestinians if that's what you think Palestinian freedom means. If Palestinians, a people of a specific ethnicity and nationality, mere freedom means the eradication of an entire other people to you then that's a you problem and that ridiculous connection really just shows how off and wild the iT MeAnS GeNoCiDe thing is. Language twisting doesn't surprise me but it sure as hell is frustrating.

I think sometimes people HAVE to work with abusers because the industry is just so filled with them that you can't boycott them all or it's actually you who are being boycotted or jobless. But date? That too when she is already on this level. This was SOOOO avoidable and yet she willing chose him. Willing looked past all of his racism and what not and for what prize? Ratt Mealy?

yup, exactly

many up and coming female (and even some male) actors and artists find themselves with no other choice but to work with horrible men

recent examples i can think of is chloe bailey - a lot of people gave her so much shit for working with chris brown without thinking that she simply may not have had a say in who her record label wants her to collab with

as well as with the women who end up working with sam levinson, i doubt either sydney sweeney, alexa demie, barbie ferreira, hunter schafer or lily-rose depp enjoy having to be canvases that sam can paint his p*rn fantasies upon

but that being said taylor, the biggest pop star in the world, is definitely not being forced to do anything especially not date an absolute and utter shithead

this whole thing reeks of when taylor dated john mayer, a very obvious racist and misogynist but back then she was a child who just seemed to be so hopelessly infatuated with him who just couldn't see what was wrong with him

but now she's a grown thirty three year old woman and she's once again dating an obvious racist and misogynist only this time it's very obvious that she knows about the things he's done and she knows what her fans (and even just the general public) are saying about her - about them and she's just choosing to ignore it

and that isn't it, especially when she's choosing to stay quite about politics and social issues while working with people have done incredibly shitty things, traveling all around the world in her private jet whilst there's a climate crisis going on, and performing in states like florida and texas whose governments are doing everything in their power to the strip rights of women and the lgbt community

#sorry for the rant 😅 #but i just feel very strongly about this #as a fan of taylors music and previously her it's very disappointing to see her just end up being another complacent white woman #i didn't say anything when she ran away from tumblr because people asked her to speak up about the blm movement #i didn't say anything when she kept quite about the stop asian hate movement #but i'm speaking now because as one of the most powerful women in the world she should be doing better #taylor swift #anti taylor swift #i guess? #tw matty healy #tay tay

weird how i always hear how ao3 is holding a donation drive for their website every time there’s a tragedy that also needs money.

#lost.txt #ao3 #palestine #and the tragedy is always the one that needs it more #like they're holding a drive now with everything happening in palestine #and they held one during the height of the BLM protests #shouldnt you....idk #have fucking tact to not try to hold a donation drive when there is more important shit than supporting a fanfic website #but i digress tho
