Additional comment from the submitter: ❝Personally, I very strongly dislike them. As someone who struggles with guilt, I think that they have good intentions, but for me they come across as aggressive/mean/guilt trip. Like the ones that say stuff like “We cannot be mutuals if you don’t reblog this” or “if you don’t reblog this you are a bad person.” Obviously I am not racist, homophobic, mysoginist, or anything like that, but those posts always make me feel very guilty because I don’t interact with them.❞

My favorite relic English still used everywhere is the word "the" used in phrases like: "the more I look at this, the stranger it seems, or "the bigger they come, the harder they fall". This "the" is not the article of any noun, it is a different word, a conjunction descended from the old English "þā", pronounced "tha" which means either "when" or "then". Back in early Middle English the structure "if - then" had not taken over and if you wanted to express an if - then relationship you said "þā whatever, þā whatever", meaning "when such-and- such, then such-and-such". "þā" sounds almost the same as "the" and the spelling of the two converged, but the meaning remained totally different. "the more, the merrier" literally means "when more, then merrier" or "if more, then merrier'; same as centuries ago.
Imagine all of these things being a possibility every single time you log in to your 'escape'!
To my Black readers: You are VALID! You are not sensitive, not 'overreacting', and you had every right to be hurt by the way you've been treated. These are not isolated events! And if people won't stop being racist, they should continue to feel uncomfortable for being so!
To my nonBlack readers: You are not an ally for NOT doing these things, but for STANDING AND SPEAKING UP when they do.
(So APPARENTLY Tumblr won't let you zoom in on Desktop, but I put the lists in the Image Description! Sorry 😬 i did not know Tumblr doesn't allow zoom in on desktop. It's easier to zoom in on mobile.)
