@Tuftears Thanks!
@CoyoteTraveller TY!
rant re marginalized histories
Reminded that minority experience is first and foremost about invisibility. You have a history and much of that is beatdowns from the hegemony (occasionally other minorities, or your own).
But Jews sprang into existence, like Athena from the forehead of Zeus, as people who well accepted in Europe around 1930 or so; trans women have only existed in the last two decades somehow; and there's a mysterious blank spot presumably full of Black people from 1864 to about 1950. A mere few minutes of reading uncovers a world of pain.
But then, not only would some people rather you not know, not only are feelings of resentful backlash pretty basically human, but look at the people at the top of this sick society; do these look like folks interested in much other than making money? Even their purported interest in GREAT WESTERN CIVILIZATION like the Roman empire is probably shallower than an average sophomore Civ major.
@CoyoteTraveller @Oneironott oh wow, thanks to both of you!❤️❤️
@Kusimanse okay SO check this out
according to Wikipedia the only times it's ever caused problems that there are multiple tiger mascots were 1) Korea having a tiger Olympics mascot, which was too much for Kelloggs and 2) Exxon selling food in their convenience stores which went over the boundary
@Bel_tamtu ty! *wags*
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
