Long Post But I’ve Been Seeing Way Too Many People Come Out As Ecofascists Saying This Virus Is Some

So... it finally downed on y'all that Rick Riordan portrayed pocs inappropriately? Are we surprised a white cishet man from usa wrote poc from a point of ignorance in a problematic way? Come on! Pocs have been criticizing him for years but y'all wouldnt LISTEN.

I'm not really into cancel culture because it doesnt work. This people dont get "erased" from history, their mistakes get erased while their art lives on - they should be acknowledged and held accountable. And I understand people make mistakes and they should have room to grow. But what irks me about seeing "he tries" type of posts defending him is that he doesnt. Maybe when he wrote the books a decade ago he was trying, and well intentioned. I can understand that. And yet if you read his "apology" you'll see he isn't trying anymore. Hes done growing and caring. Instead of writing "I get how it can be offensive, I didn't know better back then, knowing what I know now I would've written this characters differently" but no, he tried to defend it and stood by it. He needs to be held accountable. He needs to know this is not okay. Stop defending him with "the books were very subversive/progressive for their time" that can be said for a lot questionable works of fiction (like Harry Potter or To Kill a Mockkngbird for example) and it doesnt make it right. If we were just talking about what he wrote ten years ago it would be different, we could say that he wasnt being racist but that hes portrayal of poc was problematic for his lack of information, but no, he decided to take the racist label by steppping in and taking a stand defending his previous mistakes and not listening, and trying to decide over poc what is racist - instead of acknowledging he made a mistake and moving on. We grown folk but hes not being mature or "trying".

For anyone not keeping up, Trump held a rally earlier today, told his supporters to storm the Capitol building with him, then went to hide in the White House.

Protestors tore through 4 layers of barricades and are fighting cops to get into the Capitol building. A possible bomb was spotted and the Madison and Cannon buildings have been evacuated while a bomb squad was called in. And just now the Capitol has gone into lockdown.

But also Pence issued a statement that he is not doing anything with the electors and McConnell denounced Republican senators’ efforts to stop counting the electoral votes.

And as I was writing this, the protesters breached the Capitol and Pence was pulled from the Senate chamber.

#BLACKLIVESMATTER

I finally finished my black lives matter masterpost, here it is.

It is my attempt at compiling activism (the post includes petitions and donations suggestions), mental health and educational sources (videos, podcasts, books, articles…) anything to help you grow in understanding and get involved with the cause.

the mf future is female

Pride and Prejudice (2005) is a timeless classic because the line “i’m 27 years old, i’ve no money and no prospects. i’m already a burden to my parents and i’m frightened” is as relevant today as when she published pride and prejudice in 1813 😭

The Oscars have struggled with a general decline in its TV ratings over the last three decades, they've tried to get back on track by changing the type of hosts, making the ceremony shorter and other stuff. None of it has worked and still refuse to address their three main criticisms: being white, being sexist, and being extremely local.

Dear Oscars,

IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE YOU NEED TO CHANGE.
