remember the discourse that aces were culturally appropriating from tumblr mental illness groups by using an #actuallyX tag bc like….. that was so symptomatic of us white people having no concept of Culture and substituting it with any other kind of shared identity label

banning the star of david pride flag from a march due to your anti-zionist leanings is wrong on so many levels, not to mention the fact that it buys in to the narrative that apartheid israel somehow has the sole claim on jewish identity, which it wants you to think it does.

if somebody wants to wield an israeli flag at an explicitly anti-zionist pride march then yeah, tell them to take a hike, but equating the star of david with the actions of an apartheid state is no better than equating the muslim moon and star with the saudi monarchy. incredibly short-sighted.

just saying, the inability of radical leftists to differentiate between jewish identity and zionism continues to be incredibly harmful to jewish leftists and palestinians alike. apartheid israel doesnโ€™t own the star of david for christโ€™s sake.

Iโ€™m gonna be That Guy again and say that makingย โ€œdestroy genderโ€ jokes is culturally insensitive.ย 

There are genders that have existed for thousands of years in nonwhite cultures across the globe and in some societies these genders are held as a vital sacred part of the community. Intentional or not, youโ€™re insinuating that these genders are inherently bad and should be destroyed when you mean the white gender binary.ย 

I know that gender is a construct, but keep in mind there were societies that had this construct created in a healthy manner. There are several out there who are clinging so desperately to a gender that was nearly destroyed for fucking real by white supremacy, donโ€™t you dare try to act progressive while making a joke that was almost or even became a horrific reality to some.ย 

itโ€™s never really been addressed how John Simmโ€™s master traumatised Martha Jonesโ€™ entire family and made them Actual Slaves, and if this was a show that actually had continuity and it should really have the Doctor and Bill actually sit down to have a serious talk about racism if weโ€™re going to have this wholeย โ€œis Missy turning good?โ€ question over our heads

World Enough and Time was fucking great but they had better find a way to save Bill or I will kill Steven Moffat with my own two hands

Nooo because then her death will be meaningless! Donโ€™t get me wrong I adore Bill but I think killing her would be really tragic and make for great storytelling. All of new-who companions have lived in some way, and it would make a nice change. It would also make the cybermen seem weak if they could bring her back and I donโ€™t want that.

BORING, didnโ€™t ask

we have enough dead lesbians in fiction, lets not add another one

bro did you just put the Cybermenโ€™s Cool Robot Points over lesbians. like the actual real life lesbians who watch the show too?

also, black lesbians staying alive in media is always, always going to be more meaningful than killing them off. griefporn is not as meaningful as representation.

Controversy arises at Chicago D*ke March

But the parade was met with controversy when collective members carrying rainbow pride flags with a Star of David center were told to leave because the flags โ€œmade people feel unsafe,โ€ reported Windy City Times.

โ€œAnti-semitism is everywhere. Iโ€™m not surprised at all,โ€ LGBT historian Sukie de la Croix commented on Facebook. โ€œNobody is more intolerant of differing opinions than the gay community.โ€

I want to be clear: American queer Jews were barred from a Pride March because they brought a Jewish Pride flag. Not an Israeli flag. A Jewish Pride flag.

fucked up.

Controversy arises at Chicago D*ke March

theauspolchronicles:

Pauline Hansonโ€™s most recentย โ€œwhich group can I attack nowโ€ comment has been directed at children with autism and disabilities, saying that they should be separated from mainstream classes so as to not hurt the other childrensโ€™ education.

In classic One Nation fashion, Hanson has continued her crusade to ensure anyone who is remotely different doesnโ€™t mingle with people like her. This crusade has been aided by how few people could stand to mingle with her.

โ€œNow Iโ€™m not going to say we should segregate themโ€ฆ but we should definitely segregate them,โ€ she said, spewing words from her foul mouth.ย โ€œAre people with disabilities a burden? Well Iโ€™m no expertโ€ฆ but thatโ€™s never stopped me from implying something before!โ€

She then got out her check list of people to discriminate against. She ticked offย โ€œthe disabledโ€ – which was situated a few checkboxes belowย โ€œMuslimsโ€,ย โ€œGays and whatever the other letters stand forโ€,ย โ€œAsiansโ€,ย โ€œIndigenous Australiansโ€ and then alsoย โ€œMuslimsโ€ written again as a reminder in case she ever relaxed her rampant islamophobia for even a second.ย 

โ€œNote to self: Do Muslims catch autism? How can I use this for a fear campaign?โ€ she wrote down under her other notesย โ€œwhere does the sun go at night?โ€ andย โ€œis listening to the radio halal?โ€

She is now taking suggestions for further marginalised groups to attack and discriminate against as she is steadily running out.

although i have blocked people for that awful star trek theory that goes like, โ€˜the federationโ€™s prime directive/non interference policy actually destroys culturesโ€™ as if like, letting a culture fuck themselves up and fucking colonising them are equally bad

how do you take the middle path in an argument about colonialism. ‘sure invading a culture is bad, but imagine the awful things that could happen if we leave this native culture to its own devices?โ€™ like how about we as white people avoid the fuck out of that narrative please and thank you
