what the unbelievable fuck

If you're white or white passing, claiming to be an ally and complaining that you're being yelled at by POC, let me explain it this way; Yes, we get it. We have felt it long before you came into the picture. We grew our entire lives up under the boot of cops and hating them.

The problem isn't that you're swinging at cops.

The problem is that we know how you handle activism, and that you're treating your outrage as if you're suddenly a better person for it. That you're fundamentally misunderstanding that how you treat POC day to day with condescension and casual ableism is what contributed to the environment in which people normalize racism against POC. That you only get into activism for POC because a white person made it look and sound cool to you. It's that you don't understand that if you're spending time talking about it at length, you're pissing away the opportunity to get out there to protest while the iron is hot, or doing anything to materially improve the lives and status of POC when the dust settles.

Words aren't enough anymore to improve our lives, your anger alone isn't enough, what we need is direct action and a fundamental change in how white people see POC. Because your allyship right now, sounds a lot like white saviour complex, and we see it taunting us, telling us that we will never be seen as equal.

So Credit Card companies are complete garbage and pushed a $3000 debt on my sibling Alice out of nowhere, because fuck you that's why.

Apparently there were things that were left unpaid that they only waited until now to tell them.

In any case, if there's anything you can do to help, send some donations their way here : https://twitter.com/AliceGrimaude/status/1224394787249442816

Eat the rich, burn credit card companies to the ground.

So my sibling @AliceGrimaude is in a bit of a financial bind right now, if you can help them out with a couple of small donations, it would be great!

Okay so in a bid to keep the ball rolling on my commissions, I am gonna be doing busts like these attached images for $60+ a piece.

PM me if interested, or contact me via Telegram here: https://t.me/Freya_Manibrandr

You can see how this was all put together. :3 #ManibrandrSoundworks #mastomusicians

I'd like to report a murder.

So a lot of people have a lot of criticisms about the spectrum view of gender identity, mostly centred around the idea that it's a false dichotomy between male and female, which makes it an oversimplified picture.

And I completely agree with that criticism. But I don't agree that a spectrum is a bad depiction of gender, because this is not how a spectrum works!

Allow me to explain with a little thread...

Oh holy shit, I had no idea how close my own spirituality matches the basic tenets of Sihkism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-1UAORcX4c

There are a few important differences though:

• It is too important to recognize our own differences, both in birth and in deeds, because it represents the starting point and the direction we take in our lives.
• I don't put any importance in rituals for its own sake. Meditation is important, but for the purpose of self-reflecting on one's own actions and in dealing with the world.
• Worldly affairs are important, because there is a reason we are being put here this life. Each life is meant to teach us an important lesson life that we will take to the next, and some lessons can only be understood and learned through doing, and doing wouldn't matter if the world and what happens in it doesn't.
• Humanity is just a small scope of all of existence, to put humanity on a pedestal risks you felling into the egoism of human chauvinism.
• There are two sides to the Maya, both positive and negative. For example, failure to be angry in certain contexts can lead to more harm being done.
• Finally, merging with the collective conscious is by choice, but we arrive at that decision because we end up achieving nirvana. The end result is that our souls dissolve and reform with fragments of other souls to create a new being.

So there is a video talking about a recent discovery that Betelgeuse may have once been a binary star that merged, which would explain the high nitrogen content on its surface.

...and the first thought that came to mind was "So basically Betelgeuse became non-binary. :3c"

It's still a little ways away, but I thought I'd debut the theme song for TAIL Act 3 here now. Originally it was going to be a much more energetic rock song, but then some very Dark Things happened.

common praxis on fedi is cultural erasure because culture bad especially in old school Communist thought ("the only culture is the worker") and nobody has any awareness at all that cultural erasure is actually pretty fucking racist white people horseshit

This person is raising all sorts of red flags in me. Like, why do white people feel like punching down is funny? #fediblock
