I don’t think people realize how much of an impact this kind of support can have, I don’t think everyone knows what these little things can mean to us.
It may just be me, I don’t know. But every single time I see this on my dash or on someone’s blog or anywhere else, I kind of just breathe a sigh of relief. That’s one more person who cares. That’s one more person who doesn’t hate me.
Because it means so much, especially when all the media is spewing out is that I’m a terrible person and no one wants people like me near them. It means so much because I’m tired of people who won’t sit next to me in class, or who choose to join the longer line at the grocery store because they don’t want to be beside me and my family. It means so much when I have to lift my head any time someone says the words Islam or Muslim because I’m scared that they’ll say something that’ll hurt, when I have to pay attention to the news because who knows what so and so is saying now, who knows which of my people are being attacked now, who knows what’s going to happen to me now.
It means so much because I’ve been given the idea that the world is against me. And a huge part of it may be, but at least I’ve been reminded that some of it, just a small group of people, acknowledges that I’m a person too. That people like me are just that, people.
Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know. But now you do, so thank you for believing that I’m human when so many people don’t.
it’s almost, almost, comical that this is 100% on white people.
and they will blame it as a reaction to poc, to lgbt, to the ‘problem’ they saw and had to respond to and handle.
but anything from here on out is 100% on them.
you can blame third parties, you can blame people who didn’t turn out, but ultimately the blame falls on white people for being so blinded with hate that trump actually seemed reasonable to them.
This post is upsetting racists, keep reblogging it.
the best aspect of sombra is that I spent a long time thinking about how a hacker hero could be viable if only ~5 characters are robots or work with robots, but it’s overwatch so she can just hack human beings for no reason
I have to imagine that as driverless car technology improves, we aren’t just going to shift all at once. For a while, the roads are going to be full of human drivers, and also cars driving themselves.
I’m pretty sure, that’s what is going to trigger robot sentience, and then the robot apocalypse. Thousands of google cars on the highway who are not only being consistently cut off by human drivers, but those human drivers are screaming at the google cars out their windows as if they’re in the right. One day a human is going to blow through a stop sign while screaming, “FUCK YOU,” out his window.
And then the google car has it’s first fully aware thought, “No, sir. Fuck YOU.”
