IDC what anyone says, the B when it comes to talking about Black people deserves to be capitalized, but the white house doesn't deserve any capitalization.
Covid infections are asymptomatic half the time but can still leave you disabled long-term.
If you don't care that's on you but I won't stop protecting both of us by wearing a mask and reducing the chain of airborne transmission
Guess this🧵 may be needed again
Normalize bullying the BSky Team
A screenshot from FFXIV’s patch notes showing a dark-skinned Female Viera (bunny girl, left) wearing a white Sari-inspired top with white harem trousers with cutouts in the thighs. She is wearing gold sandals and her clothes are decorated with gold coins On the right is a male Hrothgar (Tiger? Man?? Wearing white harem pants, black sandals, and a red and gold draped top.
Anyway, the new “Corvosi” outfits look terrible.
“But surely they don’t mean it!” I don’t care.
“But it’s fantasy!” I don’t care.
We don’t live in a vacuum. We’ve had decades of writing and advocacy against Orientalism. Do your homework and do better.
Like, you care enough to point out appropriation, dehumanisation, tokenism, etc. in other cases... what makes ours so different?
And if you don't point out that stuff in other situations then well, fuck you, I don't care about your racist ass opinion anyway.
And not calling shit out AND not hitting them where it hurts with your money when you can? That's just letting them get away with it.
It's also telling us who are effected by Orientalism that you just like... don't care to even just /say something/ about the media you're consuming that does it?
Why *would* the public care when so many portrayals are of us as "barbaric" and subhuman? When our cultures are demeaned and belittled into caricatures for the Western gaze?
It's propaganda, whether intended by the companies who continue to perpetuate it or not...
Wars continue to be waged in the SWANA region *because* people think the region and it's people are less worthy of respect & safety.
Which is directly tied not only to Xenophobic, Islamaphobic & Racist politicians {and the rich stealing SWANA Resources} but ALSO to the media we're fed...
... be impossible due to JUST how much Orientalism has seeped its claws into EVERYTHING.
But it's only been able to keep seeping into everything because most people who call it out are either: ignored, gaslighted, or harassed over expressing their pain and upset and how bullshit it all is...
🧵 Orientalism is everywhere & pretending it isn't doesn't make it go away or make it not true.
We see it in popular media like Legend of Zelda, Clair Obsur, FF14, Infinity Nikki, etc. Anything that's not SWANA folk making SWANA media atp tbh.
I'm not telling you to boycott it all, that would...
I’m so sick of orientalism in fiction. I’m so sick of the blatantly sexualised and fetishised amalgams of a dozen cultures into one homogenous “exotic” blob. I’m so sick of White people saying I’m “reading too much into it” or “being performative” when it’s MY culture being bastardised.
Thanks to the $150 (+ the $10 I have spare & saved) I was able to buy more groceries. However, I still need the remaining $305 for necessities & more groceries for this month.
If you can please help out & repost, I'll appreciate it a lot.

Frida Kahlo is a famous disabled artist. Her art explores her disability. When she had the accident that disabled her, she painted from her bed in her casts. Many artists in history have been disabled. Many are now. You will not find them fighting to have AI take their creative process from them.

#OtD 28 Feb 1969 Black Panthers held an armed protest at the Olympia, WA capitol in protest at state attempts to disarm them. Lawmakers rushed through a ban on carrying weapons, and the NRA didn't oppose it. Learn more about the Panthers in these books: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...
