This international non-binary day I'd like to remind you that us masc non-binary people know exactly how people really feel about feminine and androgynous non-binary people as well, even if they're not saying it out loud as readily while they're excluding us x
Non-binary is non-binary. Like it says on the tin.
Solidarity not silence to all my non-binary friends, however you exist to the world ā¤ļø

think about the difference between the simple identity of 'racist' and 'doing/saying/thinking racist things'

locate the patterns and behaviours you replicate

honestly and critically assess your biases and prejudices vs the experiences of those who *are simply telling you their experiences of your behaviour*

if that's too difficult, take some time offline - it will be better for everyone, you included

so just under a year ago i whitesplained some unnecessary bullshit on here, i was being racist and there's no other way to categorise it

I'm a person who is doing what they can to be anti-racist in their life and i fucked up online, I've got to deal with that and what it means

but ffs I'm here trying to figure my shit out and any time i check in i just see the same patterns over and over

Great performance from England, best they've been so far imo and well deserved win

the team put in a huge shift, feels unfair to single out anyone but hemp, toone, russo, stanway, bronze were all just that good

on another note, irish 'anyone but England' attitudes around this world cup are really fucking tiresome

the perfect start to a #caturday - double kitty wake up call

so it may be worth mentioning that ALL of the toxic reactions described in the #9ReplyGuys thread above are used by white people (including WW) against people of color all the time, especially against Black people who talk about racism. None of it is exclusive to gender harassment/discrimination.

Mastodon can be a safe place for everybody, or it can be a comfortable place for white people, but while #racism exists it can’t be both.

@ljwrites and so often around the church  

apparently he went so far as to call for a child 'possessed by a demon' to be killed, which is an interesting note in terms of his place in the narrative of the enlightenment vs European perceptions of human sacrifice in other parts of the world

@ljwrites he also saw disability as a product of sin and so deserving of punishment/'cleansing'

his radicalism was towards a fairly horrible outcome

Please help me get stable while I am in a bit of a financial bind

"As I work to complete my program, I realize I cannot work any kind of ā€œregularā€ job. Since I am trained as and enjoy working as a photographer, I intend to freelance to sustain myself as I study. These last couple of months have been particularly difficult as I’ve tried to maintain."
