Can we still talk about Nicki’s appropriative outfit during her performance though? That’s still not okay either.
idk how many times West Indian folk have to correct y'all before you learn. her outfit isn’t appropriative, its her culture she’s Trinidadian
THIS is West Indian
THIS is Native America
You are not going to shame her for celebrating her own culture. She’s Trinidadian, the performance was even for her song “Trini Dem Girls”. There was no appropriation in sight, as that is a part of her identity
Son….HOW! White folk just see feathers and think we all the same……smh
How white folks try too clock people of color on people of color fuck out of here…
After a secret identity is revealed, does anyone else obsessively wonder if the characters go through all their memories of their experiences with that superhero and have a bunch of omgMINDBLOWN moments?
Danny Phantom for instance, take Dash:
Danny FENTURD is Danny PHANTURD?
“SHIT I GAVE DANNY PHANTOM A FLAGPOLE WEDGIE”
“SHIT I COULD HAVE BEEN ROCKING OUT WITH DANNY PHANTOM”
“HOLY SHIT I WAS FIGHTING WITH DANNY PHANTOM”
“HOLY SHIT DANNY PHANTOM WAS REVERTING BACK TO DANNY FENTON THAT ONE TIME”
“OH SHIT I MADE DANNY PHANTOM EAT MY DISGUSTING UNDERWEAR that I carry around with me for what the fuck ever reason”
i keep seeing this post reblogged with this commentary uncritically and i know most of you probably didn’t see this but
OP has ADHD and anxiety and this was a personal post about how much easier it was to get things done when you’re on medication that can help you focus so yea please stop reblogging it thanks !!
when your working memory is absolute shit garbage useless so you’re always forgetting appointments and the names of people you’ve met recently (and for about three months after you’ve met them) and verbal instructions given to you five seconds ago
but your long-term memory for things like obscure facts about your interests is so good that people get pissed at you for your short-term memory problems because clearly you’re just faking it, right? /sarcasm
dear bisexual / pansexual women and political lesbians,
you need to immediately disclose to any woman you plan on dating if you are, in fact, a lesbian, or if you are something else. some lesbians are open to dating bi / pan / PL ladies. some are not. withholding this information is harmful, deceitful behavior that can make lesbians feel unsafe and devalued.
picture it: you’re a lesbian, looking to start a relationship. you meet a woman who claims that she, too, is a lesbian. this signifies that you have, at the very least, a shared sexuality, and you can bond about your experience as a woman who is attracted exclusively to women, which is outside of the patriarchal, heterocentric structure of the vast majority of societies.
now, imagine that you, a lesbian who is incapable of being attracted to men, get a confession from your girlfriend: she discloses to you that, yeah, actually, she could possibly be with a man and feel emotionally and sexually fulfilled. she, as a bi- or pansexual, is capable of thinking about having sex with a man and not feeling revulsion. your initial feeling of intimacy and security related to the sharing of a sexuality - one of the most basic aspects of your being, which is essential to you - is gone.
wouldn’t that hurt? wouldn’t that make you feel insecure? wouldn’t you get angry, if you were put into that position?
You know what would hurt me?
If I was in a relationship with a lesbian and her finding out I am bi was some sort of horrific secret that must be confessed like some shameful pox.
The fact that bisexual women are seen as being dirty or alien because we have or feel the capacity to be in intimate relationships with men is HARMFUL. It is biphobic and it is disgusting.
The entire notion that bi women are less valuable and less desirable as partners because we have and/or have the capacity to be intimate with men is so blatantly biphobic and bigoted that I can’t believe I even have to explain it.
How about THIS: Biphobic lesbians who would feel betrayed and insecure because of a bi partners identity have an OBLIGATION to disclose that they are biphobic assholes when they enter into a relationship, in case any bi woman they are interested in was unaware of what an asshole they are.
