You got to come meet this cat. Amazing. So since we're all about pork, though class supremacy can rest only on class degradation on the East Coast. We love coming to North Carolina. Our mother says it's a beautiful island to live in but in some way I like to live in Raleigh, there's a reason we've traveled there as well.
I'm actually so done with people (including "allies") using trans* men in order to attack trans* women. There is no trans liberation without all of us.
"Oh, you don't see trans men doing [x], but you see trans women doing it!" Actually, that just tells me that you intentionally leave trans* men out of this specific bias against trans people. It tells me everything about your attitude about trans* men and trans* women.
Whenever Brits are like "tea is our national drink, our culture, our personality, our mental health" I think of our hill country blanketed in a patchwork quilt of human suffering and ongoing violent colonialism and want to smash all their tea cups. Your genocidal leaf juice is nothing to be proud of. The present day tea pluckers are the descendants of the Indians you enslaved and they still live in unthinkable poverty in the line houses you built to house them like cattle. The families whose farmlands you robbed have been starving for generations. Every sip of your leaf juice is soaked in blood and you drink it like vampires.
Tea will never belong to you. It's our legacy of grief, and your shame.
X-Men movies hyperfixation is doing the rounds in my brain again, as it does every few years and im having a great time. In particular, I'm focused on First Class, more SPECIFICALLY,
I have so many thoughts,,,about movie Alex Summers. Like holy shit, as per every hyperfixation i went digging through any kind of character video, interview, and deleted scene i could find and oh my god there was so much more to him than what made the final cut. And of course that goes for pretty much any movie character, especially adaptations, but oh my god i cannot stop thinking about it and I haven't found ANYONE talking abt ANY OF IT it in my past week scouring the internet of any and ALL Movie!Alex fan content, so I'm losing my mind.
Planning a post about it as we speak because i need to share it with the world. The world does not care about a character from a 2011 xmen movie but I DONT CARE HE MEANS MUCH TO ME.

Actor Ji Ho Gun, who's part of Jazz For Two (upcoming angsty highschool kbl), when asked what he used as reference answered Weak Hero Class 1. We stan a man with taste 😌💅
So I’m definitely not a pro at getting screenshots like some of y’all. However, since I referenced the turtleneck from this skin here I felt the urge to show you all.
Albus Severus is not his name. His name is remus regulus. REMUS REGULUS. A marauders first name. A black middle name. Just like his brother.
He should not be named after the people who wanted his father dead. Severus was willing to give up a baby so a woman who doesn’t love him could live. Like that woman could even remotely be okay after her child died. The fuck is wrong with that racist.
And Albus literally cares about himself. You were emotionally abused for how long? Because of a stupid blood bond. Get tf out of here. And ion wanna hear that remus was a werewolf shit Mary could’ve took him too.
ASSHOLES.
(Also Harry you’d be dead with the rest of the marauders without regulus soooo the least you could do was give him a name sake) (I still love you. But come on man.)
Edit: I also kinda like Marlene Lily. Cause I’ve always thought it’s weird naming your child after your parent when one of your kids is already named after your parents so then your kids are named after a couple… that fucked… so you can be conceived… but Ykw Harry. I love you. You ain’t really know shit about any marauders because someone (albus) got yo parents killed. So Ykw. Do you bae… do you!
I wanted to come on here and say, thank you to those who are protesting. You are speaking for a bigger collective that do not wish to be harmed in any way and/or simply cannot. The compassion is felt through more people than you realize, it means more than words can describe and you are all honored. Thank you. We are all doing our best and what we can to the best of our ability, even those who are forced silent by threat. They cannot silence us all.
Humanity NEEDS to operate on a humanitarian level, how dare the government put monetary value on life; it is CRUEL and IMHUMANE. It should not be like this. It won't be like this for any longer. I promise.
There is something underlying, and there always has, you are not crazy. It is all enforced. It is on purpose.
Class is primarily an economic measure, of course, based on wealth and income. This is explained more in Karl Marx’s and Max Weber’s ‘The Communist Manifesto, where Marx touches on Capitalism, an economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit rather than the state's need to expand throughout Markets. The three main groups in class society are 1) The Aristocracy, 2) the bourgeoisie, which owns most of society’s wealth and production. And 3) the proletariats, or the working-class people. These terms are even more present today than during the Industrial Revolution. The bourgeoisie thrives off alienation and false consciousness, which is the way of thinking that prevents a person from understanding the true nature of their social or economic status.

Patricia Hill-Collins writes in Toward a New Vision, ‘’Each group identifies the type of oppression with which it feels most comfortable as being fundamental and classifies all other types as lesser importance. Oppression is full of such contradictions. Errors in political judgment that we make concerning how we teach our courses, what we tell our children, and which organizations are worthy.’’ (Collins, 1993). Oppression of education and fundamental voting rights happened exclusively to minorities, especially black people. During the ’50s and the ’60s, Brown vs. The Board of Education was one of the most iconic moments in history when the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled that the segregation of public schools between blacks and whites was unconstitutional.

Basically, proving that separate is not equal. The Voting Rights Act of 1965, and of course, the Civil Rights Movement that led up to it, was a landmark civil rights and U.S. labor law in the United States that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Now, with the Civil Rights Movement passed, it makes it seem that all people have rights, but it’s not true. Minorities alike do not have the same rights, no matter the changed laws and how much we think we’ve changed. White privilege is the societal belief that benefits white people over non-white people. It makes it almost impossible for all minorities to overcome the system. White privilege is the belief that there’s nothing wrong with being a white nationalist and that the removal of our nation’s past physical examples of racism, ex. The erasure of Confederate statues, affirmative action, and other such policies is an attack on white heritage.

Whether they want to admit it or not, the overlap between race and class has a great impact on society, and it intersects in complex ways, and simply focusing on one aspect alone may not lead to comprehensive solutions. Affirmative action was used to bridge the gap between racial and class disparities, and now that it is being threatened and taken away, we must carefully consider the impact that it has had and continues to have on marginalized communities. Carol Anderson, the author of White Rage, talks about the definition of white rage, which is how their anger fuels hatred, and that hatred fuels violence which has caused the deaths of black people, men, and women alike, ever since the first boat brought the slaves. It touches on white privilege and the indifference white people feel for black people, sort of like colorblind racism, a ‘toilet assumption’, the naivety that all people are created equal, when that’s far from the case.
