As a Black girl, something about white girls being the MCs in feminist stories that acknowledge their white privilege being rejected pisses me off.
Of course we deserve WOC feminist stories, ALWAYS AND FOREVER, but when you have a white writer, there’s only so much you can do.
If the story points out white guilt, white feminism, white superiority and their issues and consequences, I don’t know why it’s an issue?
White people can hardly ever write in the perspective of POC. There are so many things they’ll get wrong. I’d rather they write about what they know and the harm in their privilege and perspective.
It’s also incredibly harmful to name any white person who’s trying to be an ally as a “white saviour” or “obsessed with POC” or “fake”. We need allies, we need them to understand as much as they can. Constantly pushing them away doesn’t do progress any good.
I’m not saying we need white people to take pity on us, but white people are still people who need to grow, understand, love and build community.

researching stuff for a post about misinformation regarding girl scout cookies and man this article (10/28/23) about this palestinian-american girl scout nearly made me burst into tears
In her short 17 years on earth, Amira Ismail had never been called a baby killer.
That’s what happened one Friday this month, Amira said, on New York City’s Q58 bus, which runs through central Queens.
“This lady looked at me, and she was like: ‘You’re disgusting. You’re a baby killer. You’re an antisemite,’” Amira told me. When she talked about this incident, her signature spunk faded. “I just kept saying, ‘That’s not true,’” she said. “I was just on my way to school. I was just wearing my hijab.”
Amira was born in Queens in the years after the Sept. 11 attacks. She remembers participating as a child in demonstrations at City Hall as part of a successful movement to make Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha school holidays in New York City.
But since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas, in which an estimated 1,400 Israelis were killed and some 200 others were kidnapped, Amira, who is Palestinian American, said she has experienced for the first time the full fury of Islamophobia and racism that her older relatives and friends have told stories about all her life. Throughout the city, in fact, there has been an increase in both anti-Muslim and antisemitic attacks.
In heavily Muslim parts of Queens, she said, police officers are suddenly everywhere, asking for identification and stopping and frisking Muslim men. (New York City has stepped up its police presence around both Muslim and Jewish neighborhoods and sites within the five boroughs.) Most painful though, she said, is the sense that she and her peers are getting that Palestinian lives do not matter, as they watch the United States staunchly back Israel as it heads into war.
“It can’t go unrecognized, the thousands of Palestinians that have been murdered in the past two weeks and even more the past 75 years,” Amira said. “There’s no way you can erase that.” That does not mean she is antisemitic, she said. “How can I denounce one system of oppression without denouncing another?” she asked me. The pain in her usually buoyant voice cut through me. I had no answer for her.
Many New York City kids have a worldliness about them, a certain telltale moxie. Amira, a joyful, sneaker-wearing, self-described “Queens kid,” can seem unstoppable.
When she was just 15, Amira helped topple a major mayoral campaign in America’s largest city, writing a letter accusing the ultraprogressive candidate Dianne Morales of having violated child labor laws while purporting to champion the working class in New York.
“My life and my extremely bright future as a 15-year-old activist will not be defined by the failures and harm enabled by Dianne Morales,” Amira wrote in the 2021 letter, which went viral and helped end Ms. Morales’s campaign. “I wrote my college essay about that,” Amira told me with a slightly mischievous smile.
In the past two years, Amira has become a veteran organizer. Last weekend, she joined an antiwar protest. First, though, she’ll have to work on earning her latest Girl Scout badge, this one for photography. That will mean satisfying her mother, Abier Rayan, who happens to be Troop 4179’s leader. “She’s tough,” Amira assured me.
At a meeting of the Muslim Girl Scouts of Astoria last week, a young woman bounded into the room, asking whether her fellow scouts had secured tickets to an Olivia Rodrigo concert. “She’s the Taylor Swift of our generation,” the scout turned to me to explain.
A group of younger girls recited the Girl Scout Law:
“I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place and be a sister to every Girl Scout.”
Amira’s mother carefully inspected the work of some of the younger scouts; she wore a blue Girl Scouts U.S.A. vest, filled with colorful badges, and a hot-pink hijab. “It’s no conflict at all,” Ms. Rayan told me of Islam and the Girl Scouts. “You want a strong Muslim American girl.”
At the Girl Scouts meeting, Amira and her friends discussed their plans to protest the war in Gaza. “Protests are where you let go of your anger,” Amira told me.
Amira’s mother was born in Egypt. In 1948, Ms. Rayan told me, her grandfather lost his home and land in Jaffa to the state of Israel. At the Girl Scout meeting, Ms. Rayan was still waiting for word that relatives in Gaza were safe.
“There’s been no communication,” she said. When I asked about Amira, Ms. Rayan’s eyes brightened. “I’m really proud of her,” she said. “You have to be strong. You don’t know where you’re going to be tomorrow.”
By Monday, word had reached Ms. Rayan that her relatives had been killed as Israel bombed Gaza City. When I asked whom she had lost, Ms. Rayan replied: “All of them. There’s no one left.” Thousands of Palestinians are estimated to have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza in recent weeks. ... Ms. Rayan said those killed in her family included six cousins and their children, who were as young as 2. Other relatives living abroad told her the cousins died beneath the rubble of their home.
As Ms. Rayan spoke, I saw Amira’s young face. I wondered how long this bright, spirited Queens kid could keep her fire for what I believe John Lewis would have called “good trouble” in a world that seems hellbent on snuffing it out. I worried about how she would finish her college applications.
“I have a lot of angry emotions at the ones in charge,” Amira told me days ago, speaking for so many human beings around the world in this dark time.
I thought about what I had seen over that weekend in Brooklyn, where thousands gathered in the Bay Ridge neighborhood, the home of many Arab Americans, to protest the war. In this part of the city, people of many backgrounds carried Palestinian flags through the street. Large groups of police officers gathered on every corner, watching them go by.
The crowd was large but quiet when Amira waded in, picked up her megaphone and called for Palestinian liberation. In an instant, thousands of New Yorkers repeated after her, filling the Brooklyn street with their voices. My prayer is that Amira’s generation of leaders will leave a better world than the one it has been given.
i believe she recently got her gold award (which, if youve never been in girl scouts, is really difficult - way more difficult than eagle scout awards), or is almost done with it. i hope she's doing okay.
this article (no paywall) about muslim and palestinian girl scout troops in socal also almost made me cry (it's like 2am). i really really hope all these kids are doing alright. god. they and their families all deserve so much better

In 2013, Weinstein pleaded guilty to running a $200 million real estate Ponzi scheme. In 2012 and 2013, while he was out on bail for that Ponzi scheme, he did another financial scam involving “purported sales of pre-IPO Facebook shares and Florida real estate”; he pleaded guilty to that one in 2014. He was sentenced to a total of 24 years in prison for all of this, but in January 2021 President Donald Trump commuted his sentence and let him out of prison. I don’t know why Trump let him out, but possibly he admired Weinstein’s moxie and sense of humor and wanted to see what else he’d get up to.
That faith in him was richly rewarded yesterday, when Weinstein was charged by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and federal prosecutors in New Jersey with doing a new Ponzi scheme in the two years since he left prison. Pre-IPO Facebook shares were very much the current thing in 2012, before Facebook went public, but in 2021 through 2023 the things were apparently:
» “In or around late 2021, Optimus [one of Weinstein’s companies] started raising money directly from a small number of investors to finance purported transactions related to COVID-19 medical supplies.”
» “In or around May 2022, WEINSTEIN (posing as Mike Konig) asked CC-1 and CC-2 [two unnamed alleged co-conspirators] to raise money from investors to finance the purchase and delivery of three million first-aid kits (‘FAKs’) to USAID to be distributed to the people of Ukraine during the Russia-Ukraine war (the ‘FAK deal’).”
» “In or around May 2022, WEINSTEIN (posing as Mike Konig), asked CC-1 and CC-2 to raise additional money to finance Company-1’s purchase of 100 million N95 masks (the ‘N95 Mask deal’).”
» “Similarly, in or around early August 2022, WEINSTEIN (posing as Mike Konig) asked CC-1 and CC-2 to raise money to finance the purchase of approximately 29 shipping containers of baby formula from [alleged co-conspirator Alaa Mohamed] HATTAB’s company, Hattab Global, in order to capitalize on supply chain issues which had created a shortage in baby formula (the ‘Formula deal’).”
Just pick a thing in the news, and he was allegedly pretending to supply it. Of course prosecutors say he was not actually doing any of these things and was instead stealing the money

Random Canon Facts About Ozzie I Just Learned.
Welp. Helluva Boss has officially consumed me. I just went through over an hour of James Monroe Igerhart's Helluva interview from last year (specifically December 4, 2021. Here's the link if you want to check it out yourself- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKDgPSuxgy4), and here's what I learned:
Ozzie likes bright, sweet drinks.
Ozzie's motivational quotes, if asked to give one, would be "get as much of it as you possibly can". (unsurprisingly)
If Ozzie had to say something comforting to Fizz, it would be "Don't worry, everything will be okay." Sexual context or sweet, who knows.
Ozzie hates Valentines day. He thinks it's a sham.
Ozzie and Fizz are very very close and are very good "friends" (At least that's what JMI says. But he does so in a way that makes you go 🤔, as if there's more to it. He can't say too much on the aspect of their relationship because spoilers lol)
Ozzie somewhat pities Blitø because he knows he has the capability to be awesome but he gets in his own way. At the same time though, he mostly doesn't care about Blitø as long as he stays out of his way.
OZZIE KNOWS THAT FIZZ IS AN IMP, which I think we all kind of knew, but it still feels like such an important thing to be confirmed.
Ozzie's main opinions on Imps are that some are cool, others -like Blitø- are just a$$holes. Most of the time, he loves Imps. They come to his club, they pay him money, they keep him in business. "Blito just gets on (his) d*mn nerves" (25:57).
OZZIE SAYS PANSEXUAL RIGHTS LETS GOOOOOOOO. (He himself is down with and for anything. But again, we all already knew that ;))
Ozzie CAN BE romantic.
Ozzie has a collection of heels. I love that so much XD.
Ozzie will dress however he feels. Some nights he may get into some leather pants, other nights he may step into a dress and he'll absolutely rock both looks. It all depends on what he's in the mood for.
Gender fluid Ozzie confirmed?? (JMI basically said that Ozzie will be whatever his partner/ the situation calls for at the time)
Ozzie's relationship with the other Deadly Sins and Lucifer is basically a mutual "stay out of my way, and we're cool" kind of thing. Like they can all pay a visit to each others rings as long as they don't stir up sh*t.
Ozzie MAY give someone flowers just because they like it, and he does give his employees praise when they deserve it. That's a good boss right there.
Would he be a good lover? Without a doubt. Would he be a good boyfriend? Who knows. It's debatable.
Is Ozzie some type of bird demon? JMI does not think so, it's more that he likes bright and feathery things. (I won't count this as a fact since JMI confirmed nothing, and at this point only Viv herself knows what kind of demon he is.)
Although one of Ozzie's side heads is a bull.
Ozzie is fine with all music as long as it turns them on. (Which makes sense. As sweet as Moxie's song was, nobody's going to get all hot and bothered listening to that.)
In conclusion, JMI is awesome and Ozzie is literally one of my favorite characters and I can't wait to see him more in season two :D.

A year ago today, my dog died. After being missing for nearly a week, I brought him home and laid him to rest on my agility field we had just set up two weeks before. He never got to use it. He was a lot of firsts for me, but he was the first thing that was mine in the truest sense of the world and he was an honest reflection of myself.
He died and the impossible happened, and the only thing that could happen happened. Time kept on and I kept moving forward. It's not often we can identify the things that change our life paths but him coming home January 30 2021 changed my life even if he left my life almost exactly three years later. He was the reason I had a Ever coming home just weeks after loosing him. She was coming before he was gone, but having her there after was the reason I survived it. He was the reason Moxie came into my life, a friend of a friend who helped me search for him the day he disappeared. The dog that introduced me to my heart breed, an honest reflection of myself.
I wish he was here today, I miss him and he fades from my memory with each day. But I keep moving foreword and he still is there in places. My goals for this year an Echo of my goals for him. My heart still aches where he is missing from it. And I'll keep moving foreword with the dogs I love, each an honest reflection of myself.

~ 6:28 pm, Sometime in 2021, Aurora/Moxy/Haechan/Taeyong ~
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
“Did you get along with the 127 members noona? Like when you were added to the group.” Aurora asked out of the blue.
Moxy barks out a laugh, “HA! No!”
“What.” 
“Yeah seriously. The only members that I was cool with were Donghyuck, Johnny and Doyoung oppa. I’m pretty sure Taeyong hated me. Like the day of my high school graduation, Taeyong lied about having a dance practice just so Johnny and Doyoung couldn’t meet Grandma Jin. He almost made me stay back to practice alone for two hours. Thank God for Soonjae-noona. She covered for me.” 
“Why didn’t any of us know?”
“Unspoken rule. No 127 drama reaches the Dreamies. You all were going thru a lot at the time. Debuting. Jaemin injury. The ticking timebomb that was Marks graduation. There was no reason for you guys to get sucked into our drama.”
Moxy could see the gears turning in the maknaes head. “Huh.”
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Haechan was sitting on the couch watching a new drama with Johnny and Taeyong. His phone buzzed with an incoming message. Haechan grabbed his phone. Taeyong looks on seeing the younger puzzled at the message before texting back. 
“Who’s that?” 
“Rora,” Haechan took a sip of his coke, “She wanted to know where you were.” 
“Oh.” The three turned back to the show. All was silent for a moment before Haechan sat up. 
“Just putting this out there. I hold no responsibility for what Aurora does with the information I’ve given her. Her actions are her own and I, Lee Donghyuck, am not to be held accountable. Thank you.” Haechan leaned back onto the couch ignoring the looks from his elder members. 
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
There was a knock at the door. The three boys were taking a break to order food. Johnny figured it was the delivery man so he got up to open it. Before he could get the door open, Aurora barged in. Aurora looked like a girl on a mission so who was he to stop her. Aurora stormed over, stopping directly in front of Taeyong. He tried to greet her but before he could Aurora clocked him with a right hand
“OH!!” Haechan jumps out of his seat in shock. Quickly, color fills Taeyong’s left cheek as the bruise takes form. Taeyong sat shocked at the actions of nct’s youngest members. One look at the fury written in Aurora’s eyes and Taeyong was hit with reality. 
He knew exactly Aurora was mad. 
And honestly he deserved it. 
“Thats for treating Moxy noona like crap and because she’s too nice to give you the punch you deserved.” And with that Aurora stormed right back out the door. Leaving like nothing happened. They all sat quietly, not really knowing what to say.
“I just want to reiterate, I have nothing to do with that. My hands are clean.” 
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Just a little side note. Those of my readers that are in the nct oc discord server, this post is for you if anyone remembers suggesting this but its been sitting in my drafts waiting until I posted the finale to the Taeyong!angst
Taglist: @alixnsuperstxr / @1-800-call-ria / @sophrodite / @sunflower-0180
