@revenant_MMXX “every trusted family member, teacher, and mentor in your life from childhood onwards advised you to do something and you were dumb enough to listen to them?”
@blabulon@revenant_MMXX I wonder if the guidance counselor we had at my high school ever sits in deep existential shame over how many students she helped corral into debt slavery.
@blabulon@revenant_MMXX Wasn't enough to tell us to go, my high school gutted most of the occupational courses (auto shop, drafting, etc) my sophomore year. Only began reintroducing them about a decade later in the late 2010s once they realized how that was backfiring.
The way he’s not listening to a thing the man is saying and is laughing like “so you just don’t like me bc I’m white” is classic white reaction when told about racism and harm done. Brick wall.
Destabilizing our economy and removing social safety nets means people are stuck in survival mode to the point where they're too busy trying to afford groceries, medications, and find jobs to pay attention to anything outside their personal lives. Apathy bred by desperation.
Pls take two minutes to listen to her entire response not just the one sentence highlighted in the caption. She lays it out PERFECTLY.
"I'll first say a big shout out to Mike and Delroy, like let's continue to honor them for how they handled that in real time, the grace and the dignity that they exercised, and the whole home team, everybody that was out there, like really carried themselves well. I think the events this weekend exposed a couple things - Institutionally, we still don't understand what inclusion means."
"Just because you invite someone into a space, but you don't provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that's not inclusivity. That's exploitation."
"That man's disability got exploited that night, and it led to multiple offenses. That's the BAFTA's fault. And then the BBC, to air what they aired is careless."
"And not like some haphazard accident, no, like a real lack of care was exercised for those two Black men. And we know the BBC knows how to take care of what they care about, right, because they censored a bunch of other... they went so far as to make sure certain things weren't topics of conversation."
"They censored Akinola's speech, the director of My Father's Shadow, which is an amazing film, by the way. So you censored one Black man, you failed to protect two others, and our production designer, Hannah, you do not care for our dignity, our humanity."
"You want to celebrate our art, but you won't protect, and that's why we celebrate sinners. That's why we celebrate Ryan. That's why we show up to the NAACP, because those are spaces where we felt safe, where we feel safe."
- Jayme Lawson
American liberals telling us that Iranians need to rise up against there government while the US government is openly bigoted in every way possible and their response is “what do you want me to do I voted!”
They don’t like her. They respects her intellect, notes her beauty and physicality, but they don’t LIKE who SHE is. I hope they’re emotionally aware enough to tell her. What a waste of a happy soul it would be to be with them.
When men say they look for a woman with a good sense of humor- they don't mean they want a naturally funny/engaging/witty woman-
They want a woman who finds them funny and laughs at their jokes
They want an audience member
