that's an optimistic way to look at it

idk but I love jay dodd's essay on allyship and complacency and one of my favorite quotes from the article is "If a part of your claimed identity relies on a struggle you have no or little access to — I am given pause."

There were some teachers I definitely would've been statutorily raped for

Guys are dogs.

a lot of people just want to tear down others who try. Also they're the arbiters of who's schedules are busy or not.

safe to say that the vast majority of chinese Americans came over in the second and third wave and we're not victims of that period of systematic oppression. And either way it doesn't compare to the horrors of slavery at all.

no mouth x must skrem
