I need every (white) leftist to understand that it is not that change is impossible . It is that the communities you used to spring board your growth are not OBLIGATED to forgive you.
When yall make racism a quintessential part of a white teen’s coming of age, you also make it quintessential to black teen’s coming of age. “Omg she was only 15 when she said nigger”, yeah and black kids will only be 15 when they’re called that.
@trueholygoat@UnumVerum_@neontaster We didn’t regularly need air conditioning here until a few years ago so most people never even thought to install it until recently. And we collect and recycle our food waste here, it gets collected weekly so no, we don’t use garbage disposals.
@tae_mintie My laundry is in a separate room off the kitchen which is better than IN the kitchen but still makes no sense to me. Laundry is an upstairs activity. My bathroom, closet and laundry basket are all upstairs so WHY take the laundry downstairs just to take it back upstairs after?😭
@Missthetree@potatoslav Like I said, it’s not about understanding sarcasm, Brits live and die by sarcasm. It’s moreso - if an American jokes to a Brit “omg, do you know the queen??” Brits don’t think, oh that’s obviously a joke. They think, they’re serious bc they’re American so they’re stupid
@AppalachianPoet@TinyWriterLaura Brits just aren’t bulk buyers. I don’t need that many ibuprofen in my house. I shop weekly. I replace it when I run out. I have maybe 5 shops and a pharmacy within a 5-10 min walk from my house that sells them. I literally have no need to have it in bulk
@AppalachianPoet@TinyWriterLaura Nobody here overdoses on ibuprofen either. It’s literally just a precaution that we have here that you don’t have. Not a signal about the state of our society…it’s just a difference in safeguarding.
Cornell Jane Doe may not be reading your "hot takes" and thoughts on what happened to her... but I can bet any amount of money that there's a Jane Doe in your life that can see how you really feel about consent and assaułt.
Women
- are 51% of the population
- but 60% of the poor
- and 83% of single parents
- doing 66% of the work
- producing 50% of the food
- but earn just 11% of the pay
- and own only 20% of the land.
- All while giving birth to 100% of the population.
that's why we need feminism.
