In Mormon news, BYU tried to make an indigenous student cut his braids. So fuck them.

Thankfully, they responded to pushback and now will not make him do that, but I'm sure they will continue to get away with all of their other attempts to control the hairstyles and harmless behaviors of literally everyone else.

(Which is why this issue is a "white" cause as much as it is anyone else's. My Celtic and Germanic ancestors wore long hair in all sorts of styles, and so did yours. Whiteness restricts all of our freedoms.)

🎶 Genealogy: Are you "doing" it? 🎶

Or are you just listing names and dates so you can nonconsensually force your dead relatives to conform to some arbitrary standard of perfection in the afterlife?

I saw a white evangelical basically screaming at the camera yesterday on YouTube about patriarchy, racism, capitalism, and SA, ready to split from every Christian, even the progressive ones, and while I disagreed with some of her minor points and her shouting gave me a headache, I'm emotionally so with her.

Would that even 25% of white women had even a portion of her intensity and self-awareness.

@corbden I love that the song says that the reason “is very clear to me” and then just leaves it at that. You know the reason, primary children, so no need to include it in the lyrics. It’s self-evident.

@dougwade And if you don't get it, then there's something wrong with you.

@corbden not exvangelical but I want to just say that forcing people to cut their hair is dehumanizing

@corbden still crazy that BYU is still trying to churn out graduates who all look like Patrick Bateman like it's indicative of "higher standards."

But yeah the more I I think about it, there's a new nasty layer of not only the church™ still openly seeing the cultures of once "cursed" POC as still "below their standards", but then using the genealogy to retroactively convert their ancestors from those cultures beyond the grave.

@cyberwitch Mormonism outwhites evangelism every time. Even the KKK isn't as white as Mormonism. It's the whitest possible religion.
