This is an excellent and provocative interview about the concrete steps perpetrators can take to make meaningful amends with survivors and communities, shifting the emphasis from survivors' forgiveness to perpetrators' work. https://t.co/uPQjB8auTF
Everything’s for sale at Marineland. Animals up for grabs. If anyone knows of any generous heroes, maybe we can save some. Time is now. #SaveSmooshi#FreeKiska#SaveZeus
#Indigenous folk have been asking for more people to pay attention to this for far too long. It's time to listen & help create change. The loopholes in existing law & policies are a big part of why these violences are normalized. It's more than a #.

People tend to gossip about individuals who are achieving more than them.
Remember that whenever people spend their free time discussing how you spend yours.
1) the Vatican approved & personally donated 50+ items to the collection. Cultural appropriation requires lack of consent.
2) Cultural appropriation requires unequal power dynamics in favour of the appropriator. The Church is one of the most powerful institutions on earth https://t.co/5VNUvaNiF7
@Gail_McAlinden @LisaKJMcA And also a tremendous amount to refute it. And this is why I questioned your critical thinking skills. Because the evidence of the pervasiveness of white supremacy is there, but you don't see it, or won't see it.
@Gail_McAlinden I didn't mean to imply you're stupid. Sorry if you took it that way. Rather, i meant that you lack refined critical thinking skills that would allow you to understand the pervasiveness of white supremacy and recognize your privilege as a white woman.
@Gail_McAlinden Or do some actual reading, and not just believe what popular culture preaches. Probably a better idea. Develop some critical thinking skills and learn to question sources of information. Might lead you to recognize your privilege.
@Gail_McAlinden That's a very simplistic definition, but yes, it is. But you're 100% wrong about it being gone. & the fact that you have that perspective is just demonstrating how white ppl can be complicit in white supremacy without even realizing it.
White supremacy is alive and well.
@Gail_McAlinden That's simply not true. White privilege is the refusal to acknowledge something is a problem simply because it is not a problem for you. That last tweet is the embodiment of white privilege. Discrimination laws exist bc discrimination exists. Bc WHITE SUPREMACY.
@Gail_McAlinden Yes, but you implied white supremacy exists only in small groups of extremists, called white supremacists and didn't acknowledge that our society is founded upon it and organized around it. It is that big in the "real world" and your refusal to see that is white privilege.
