On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for an attack on an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam.
As the attack developed, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else:
A massacre.
He decided to act. /1 🧵
“And I’m not talking about the dolls that get their work done. I’m talking about dolls who can't afford surgeries. I’m talking about dolls with beards. I think it’s really crazy that we still really don’t have models that are trans women who aren’t cis passing or 100% passing.”
are some of the shawn mendes gay jokes funny? yes
do they also remind me of that unspeakably awful, gut-punch feeling i’d get when i was closeted and someone TOLD me i was gay because i let the mask slip and acted feminine for one whole second? also yes
i have no idea what shawn mendes’s sexuality is and i don’t really care, but this “shawn mendes is gay because he is feminine” bit is so tired and damaging to all boys — queer or not — trying to build a healthy relationship w masculinity
They killed a cop by beating him with a fire extinguisher and it really goes to show that blue lives matter was never about honoring the police force, but about silencing the black lives matter movement
@conflihicted he’s really trying to tell asians, who have all witnessed or experienced colorism first hand, that it doesn’t exist just bc we’re diverse 😭 girl..
