i would say it's funny how the american left has seemingly forgotten about how israel was the one telling america not to attack iran back in january, which suggests that the desire to attack iran existed outside of any nefarious israeli influence, but then i remember that american leftists didn't give two shits about iranian protestors being massacred by the tens of thousands, so it makes sense that they wouldn't know about this juicy tidbit of information el em eff ay oh

#i always think about how beautiful it was for ryan coogler to cast buddy guy as older sammie #i often think about how people like to espouse the idea that we are "so far removed" from jim crow and segregation when creatives like buddy are still alive #a lot of the activists and figures are still alive! #idk the fact that he's living proof of the continued effects of chattel slavery on black americans is so bittersweet because he remembers such atrocities but he's also able to bestow wisdom and history for art pieces like sinners
Ryan Coogler said in an interview, btw, that part of why he thought of Buddy Guy was because his uncle loved seeing him – he'd get dressed up and go see him play live when he got the chance.
yall just have a problem with this idea because if it was ever implemented like 99% of white people wouldn't be able to have kids
This is an incredibly cruel & tone deaf thing to say about a eugenicist idea that disproportionately harms Intellectually/Cognitively/Developmentally disabled people, but if you wanna talk about race? sure! let's talk about race. This topic actually has a lot to do with race.
Because this has always been done in Denmark.
And guess who was affected most? Native Greenlandic people! Something like 5% of native Greenlandic children were stolen from their loving & competent parents because they were native and the test was biased for White Danish culture & language (native Greenlanders that speak Kalaallisut were not provided interpreters so the test was flawed & biased& made them seem "incompetent" over a language barrier that had nothing to do with their parenting) and the Native people who fell outside that perfect white Danish mold were the ones who unfairly lost their kids! Do you seriously think these tests will punish abusive white parents at all? Do you not realize that these tests will be heavily biased in favor of white american culture & will punish anyone who falls outside of that mold, like Native American families, Black families, etc? I am Native. do you not understand that even our oldest cultural traditions w/ kids are constantly being threatened by white ass governments & "parenting guidelines"? do you not realize that there are ALREADY Native mothers who are punished for sleeping with their children or using cradleboards & traditional carriers or even just raising their children in Native culture that defies colonial American culture too much? Are you living under a rock? Do you actually think anything our governments have ever done was for the good of people of color over whites? What world are you living in? Why the fuck would you comment this shit on an intellectually disabled native woman's post? Jesus christ.
Horrifying to enter the era of your life where people your age are getting pregnant on purpose
"I just wanna be spoiled so bad" <- girl that proceeds to describe having access to necesities and having her most basic needs met as luxurious and the desire for that as greedy and punishment worthy
I feel perpetually burdened by my need to initiate every form of affection, even if I'm the one receiving it. It's soul crushing the extent to which I feel unloved because even when I do get the luxury of someone to offer it (rare) it still feels like I'm twisting their arm into being a proxy to give what I want, and not that I'm actually getting it
Oh yeah haha, I'm super greedy, I even want like... cuddles and to be called a good girl. And if I'm especially selfish? I wanna get held or get headpats without even asking for it
