About that "learning about dust pneumonia" thing, here's a blatant example of #WhiteGaze /"soft" #Racism:

If you, writer, could take the time to learn about dust pneumonia in order to slide it into your story, how come you refer to the indigenous characters in your book as "Native American guy" (all men so far), and not, "a Navajo man" or whatever. You set your book in fucking New Mexico, and you cannot be bothered to even distinguish between the main tribes there?

Mixed chick, old, tired, depressed, & thinking: I’m scared of #centrists & #democrats & #republicans & the us #mainstream. Terrified of the #usgovernment & #MAGAts. Wrecked by nonstop #whitesupremacy & #whitegaze. Paralyzed with fear by #cops & by my neighbors. Thinking the #Aliens, if real (I’m skeptical), are my ONLY hope. Are you all so wedded to supremacist rule that I have to pray for the species’ extinction as the only way to #endwhitesupremacy? Looks like it’s only aliens & apocalypse 😢

Wir müssen jetzt die Balance finden zwischen ihrer Stimme und #WhiteGaze (für die weiße Perspektive geschrieben). Ich denke, die deutschsprachige Genreliteratur ist noch nicht so weit, dass man als BIPoC frei schreiben kann. Einiges wird nicht mehr so subtil sein, anderes hingegen wird BIPoCmäßig emotionaler. :D

Ich bin froh und dankbar, dass sich die andere Lektorin zurückgezogen hat und uns beide machen lässt (auf Wunsch der Autorin). Und ich zuversichtlich, dass das Ergebnis gut wird.

Reclaiming Real American Patriotism

This Fourth of July, let’s rescue our love of country from those who have hijacked it.

I hate the #UnitedStates with every piece of me. I am ashamed to have been born here. I am distraught that my ancestors were ever born and that they ever had to endure the nightmare that is #PlantationNation. I am disgusted that I fell for the ruse and thought it was safe to have children. Now they are stuck in this #whitesupremacist hellhole that is getting worse each day. Thank God they got their degrees already. But my grandkids and nieces and nephews... sitting ducks for the Kens and Karens of the evil Unwarranted Default (#mainstream, #whitegaze, #centrist #AmeriKKKan society and the unendurable, unjust #statusquo it accepts and which it commands, abuses, and threatens the oppressed people it exploits to tolerate and support) and its inhumane, irredeemable #systemicracism. The #SCOTUS is a prime example of why I am over the human species and why I believe it has EARNED the punishment of #climatechange. No decent species would allow white supremacy, much less mandate it and profit from it. Any species that would do that deserves extinction. Given what I see happening in the US each day, I pray that day comes SOON.
The real history of Queen Charlotte, and the problem with Netflix’s Bridgerton spinoff

Many people think King George III’s Queen Consort was Black, but the show still has a problem.

@dgar The latter is a computer storage and delivery system. The former is an unrepentantly #whitesupremacist country governed by #systemicracism, controlled by covert #theocracy, and designed to maintain a #whitegaze society of #MLK's the #whitemoderate and adjacents that still benefits from chattel #slavery while insisting, incorrectly, that they are exceptional and that their lives matter most.

Why #Centrism Is Morally Indefensible: #TimUrban’s new book, endorsed by the stinking birdsite billionaire, shows how #centrists care more about civility (#MLK's negative #peace) than #justice (positive peace), and hate ‘#socialjustice fundamentalism’ more than #plutocracy.
