I just found out the offspring of a goat and sheep is called a GEEP and they’re the cutest lil shits ever I want 200 of them
The best way to gauge how much a white person is actually working on their racism is to see how they treat a black person who makes them mad or uncomfortable or that they think isn’t being respectable. Even the most “anti racist” seeming white people will let that facade slip once they come across a black person they think isn’t respectable or that makes them mad.
When white people come across a black person that won’t coddle their feelings in the way society has taught white people to expect, that’s when their true colors come out. That’s how you learn the most about where a white person is at in the process of unlearning racism and checking themselves for unconscious bias.
its 2018. we need to stop blaming serotonin and dopamine and start blaming the real culprit which is the hippocampus that son of a bitch
White people: if you want to help long term: get used to being told your opinion is wrong, irrelevant, or unwanted. Tell your friends to get used to it. Work on getting used to it and do this work with other white people. Because white supremacy has all of y’all very used to being right and being an inherently valued voice and if we’re going to fight white supremacy you’re going to have to be comfortable surrendering that expectation and also white people will need to learn how to handle being rejected or disagreed with. It’s an extension of racism and racial trauma for black people to try and educate or speak up about our issues only to expose ourselves to your white fragility which makes you defensive– this defensiveness can look like shutting down, silencing us, painting all corrections or disagreements as ‘fighs’ (extending the idea that black people are aggressive) etc.
White resilience is the opposite of white fragility and black people are VERY good at resilience, unfortunately. Listen to us we know how to combat this.
so, i live on the fourth floor of an apartment building that faces a fairly busy street; it’s on a hill so car noises are pretty regular over the course of the day. because i’m high above the street, you obviously can’t see the cars unless you look out the window, right? but sometimes the sun reflects off the car roofs or whatever, and so there’ll be a light on my ceiling as a car passes by.
so my cat? whenever he hears a loud engine, day or night, he looks at my ceiling. even if there is no refraction going on. to him, those are the sounds of light on the ceiling. sometimes the light appears and there is a loud noise. it’s 8pm and a truck just passed and he watched the ceiling as the car moved past my windows – no reflection this time of night, but trucks are ceiling creatures and i just think that’s such a like – it’s a good correlation, buddy!! you figured it out!! you’re wrong but you’re so smart!!
“i cannot perform basic household duties while other people are in my house” crowd make some noise

red cross's homophobia being trans inclusive is honest to god blowing me away
oh to walk through an apocalypse hand in hand with the love of your life occasionally interacting with pure evil entities and reassuring your darling that yes he is the reason but no you will not kill solely because he is jealous
