Btw movements like lgbt rights, stop Asian hate, blm, free Palestine, etc are NOT some quirky aesthetic and people needs to stop grouping it into things like it is
Genuinely seen Pinterest post making fun of “fake goth” and on the fake goth side there’s a sticker of one of these movements and the only thing I have to say is fuck off.

I'm in endangered of being kicked out of school for lack of fund. After working a full time job and unable to get a loan, I've exhausted every other avenue. I know as a black queer woman the importance of having a degree and really don't want this to be the end for my academic career so any help would be much appreciated. I’m trying to raise some of the funds by January 10th to be able to attend the spring semester. Thank you for reading and please share if you can.

What is there left to learn?
All you need to know of any good branch of leftism is that self determination and freedom is above everything.
We stand against so much because so much has been created to get in the way of that.
Money often gets in the way by imposing literal pay walls to basic needs so we oppose it. Racism gets in the way when racist gatekeepers prevent POC from receiving equal care, equal service, and equal access to resources so we oppose it. The same goes for all the other -isms and bigotries such as misogyny and homophobia.
Human beings come in all shapes, sizes, colors, sexualities, and genders. We are beautifully diverse this way, it's literally human nature.
And so we must learn to live and accept people different from ourselves.
Nobody has more rights or humanity than anyone else. Nobody has the right to enforce their own determinations and truths on anyone else. There is no singular way of being that is Right or makes you more deserving than the rest, that gives you the right to control others because it's just such a Good way of living. There never will be.
There is no natural way to determine what a good, deserving human looks like. And that's why leftism supports and hears all oppressed people.
Every single excuse and method that attempts to control/feel superior are all social constructs. Ex:
You're rich, fiscally responsible and think you're better than others? Money isn't natural, it's barely even real. It's something that some human made up one day to feel better than the others. It may as well be called pixie dust. And without it you're just like the rest of us.
Being White didn't mean anything before some human decided they could gain self esteem by reducing the perceived worthiness of Black and Brown ppl. Without made-up ideas of race you're just like the rest of us, made of the same hunger and thirst and love as we are.
Cis and Trans or Gay and straight are just different ways for humans to be born and exist. Some people like their bodies, some don't. Some people kiss the same sex, some dont. You aren't superior for being cis or only kissing one sex. You won't get a trophy for denying the kind of human you are or for making others feel bad about the kind of human they are either.
There is no natural test for superiority in humans because human superiority is unnatural. For any of us.
The only measure of being Better than others was how much better you were at being a community member; how much you contributed to the betterment of your peers. You didn't brag about being white, you bragged about how you killed so many deer that your people certainly will Not be starving.
We were born to share this planet and our only ACTUAL job is to take care of each other and the planet in whatever way we can. It's the only thing we've ever owed each other.
Racism, ableism, colonization, capitalism, white supremacy, genocide, Nazis, Zionists, etc.
These are not concepts that deserve to be kept alive. Anything that makes you hate someone else or makes you feel more Worthy than someone else has no place in the future.
I say all this because I feel like I'm beating a dead horse on this blog so often. I really do try to stay educational and focus on solidarity. But there's only so much that words can do without action.
And words without action are as good as dust in the wind.
I love this blog, but I'm long over this. We need to act. There is a genocide happening and I'm starting to believe that everyone who wants to stop it Already knows about it. They do not need awareness. They don't need voices. They need direction. They need community. They need support and bodies to help intimidate police.
They need us.
And instead I blog on Tumblr trying to rally people that hardly reblog a call to action.
This blog is starting to feel like a symptom of the system. A time-consuming distraction for me. And a way for you to placate yourselves while the world gets worse.
Just following leftists doesn't make you a good person. Having the Right opinions doesn't make you a good person. Even believing in equality doesn't make you a good person if you don't do something about it.
I'm tired of begging for people to organize and protest and show up for each other.
I'm convinced that if you ever had the intention of doing so then you already are. And if you're not then that's a choice you've made.
You either support genocide or you fight it, you know?
I don't know what else there is to learn or say. What are you waiting for? An invitation?
Please go fucking organize and join a protest.
In other news....I am getting closer to deleting this blog every day.

Too be honest, probably the four most neglected topics in leftist spaces as a whole is landback/indigenous rights, nonwhite rights and experiences (black communist/anarchist movements etc.), feminism (especially radicalized militant feminism), and disability accessibility/experiences (both physical and mental(like cluster B disorders especially). Not in that order btw, I believe all 4 of those are interconnected.
My one tip for people getting into leftist spaces, no matter which one it is, is to learn about the most neglected topics especially and to listen to people apart of the above groups. It is going to frustrate the shit out of you and you're going to learn a lot of the leftists around you hold onto the Patriarchy/White Supremacy etc. But you are going to empower both yourself and those around you for the better by educating yourself.

Our community still suffers with extreme homophobia that is gaslighted and brushed under the rug. The hate is so normalized

I hate when twats spill out shit like:
"i'M aGaInSt InTeRsEcTiOnAlItY bEcAuSe EaCh GrOuP's StRuGgLeS aRe DifFeReNt"
That doesn't change the fact that each group struggle.
Feminism aims to fight the patriarchy, which predominantly affects women. Especially black women. But the patriarchy negatively affects men too. Not to the same extent, but they are affected nonetheless.
Trans people, especially black trans women, have always fought for the rights for queer people and other people. They started this entire thing.
Black Lives Matter is a movement focused on combatting systemic racism in our societies and governments.
Can you see the connection between these examples? Everyone is affected by what these groups are fighting against. We are all stronger together.
Even if our individual struggles are different, a problem shared is a problem halved.
