Kee Hinckley@laseletzky @rysiek I saw someone post how they'd used the term "cis" and the woman they were talking to protested that because cis people were the majority, they didn't need a special name.
And I'm thinking, "Woman, you are so close to passing Sociology 101. Now do 'white' and consider the implications of it being the 'default' race."
Marisa@laseletzky so much... this. x
@marisa it’s exhausting
@laseletzky it is. Beyond... community is going to be so important going forward. xo
✊🏾WiseGuyEddie@laseletzky THIS. THIS. FUCKING THIS!
RowinSpeez@laseletzky every white person should read the book White Fragility right now and internalize those lessons, it really opened my eyes as to what privilege, identity, and allyship are. If you’ve never had to even think about it before, that’s the whole point right there.
