Fellow whites:

I love #BernieSanders but saying #MLK would endorse him is ... problematic.

One, MLK has been dead more than fifty years now. There's no way to gauge the trajectory of his politics in that time.

Two, the sanitized-for-whites "politics" of MLK aren't the genuine article. MLK was a radical socialist. Bernie is a center-left Democratic "Socialist."

MLK was all for dismantling the capitalist, imperialist state that is America. Bernie wants no such thing -- all he wants is for the rest of us to share in the spoils extracted from the Global South.

So yeah. Don't presume to speak for a dead black radical and thereby dishonor his memory.

Do straight people know that u don’t need to end a series by having the protagonist marry and have kids

"we had some 'tomboy' trans girls in the study, just as we had 'tomboy' cis girls."
"This study does show that in fact not all trans girls (or cis girls) want to wear frilly pink dresses or play with dolls. We in fact see plenty of trans kids violating these stereotypes, just as we see cis kids do so,"
my heart is full knowing tht there are trans kids in this study who are being affirmed in their genders and im so hopeful for the world we must build for them

it's weird* how when a US war criminal dies its "don't speak ill of the dead" but then Soleimani is assassinated by the USA and there's an entire industry dedicated to pouring out op-eds convincing the public that this man 99% of them had never heard of before his death was evil incarnate

driving on the left, and your kneejerk thought is "that car's on the wrong side of the road!"

Except it's the Internet, and there are no central authorities dictating what traffic rules functiin where, and everyone is everywhere. That poses a problem for etiquette, but it's not anyone's fault; the world is just a big and complicated place, and pressing YOUR community norms on other people for whom they are ill-fitting is not gonna change that.

So be thoughtful. Listen to, and consider the viewpoints of, people who you hold power over. Make judgment calls like "I won't boost this; my friend (who does NOT make those kinds of tradeoffs) will be triggered.

Just don't treat people of color like children when they express something you haven't considered before. White people should not act like we're not the judge and jury of race relations.

boomer is indeed a slur and you should use it

in 2020 we are leaving reactionary communist ideologies like Strasserism and Nazbol where they belong: in the trash

One of the best things about the Fediverse is that these bigots have no hold here, and we don’t spend an exhausting amount of time arguing with them and beating back their trolling attempts and harassment.

I think it’s super important that we keep this space that way, and that means stamping them out every time they breathe vitriol in our general direction—especially when it comes under the guise of “debate” and “asking questions.”

We aren’t here to debate our existence.

When you just boosted 50 of your own toots in a row and see your follower count drop by one

there's "lesbian" as in "two girls having sex"

there's "lesbian" as in "two girls holding hands"

and then there's "lesbian" as in "knowing and saying exactly the right words to melt someone and reforge her, stronger and better"

and y'all, they're all pretty great 👩‍❤️‍👩

if I could snap my fingers and erase one concept from existence it'd be "look busy"
