#yeah yeah yeahhhhhh #bad sisters #a lot of good bits about the manufacturing of geography and setting to suit a white upper middle class aesthetic #and also #'The only significant character in the drama by contrast whose home is not on display is Matthew Claffin's. #For all its nods to inclusivity (Bibi is in a same-sex relationship and has a Black child; Ursula’s son is Down’s Syndrome #none of which is in the original) the series seems unable to imagine the younger mixed-race Claffin brother’s habitus.' #which then goes footnote - 'It would take another paper to interrogate Irish actor Darryl McCormack’s #positioning in Irish-set dramas but here it is hard not to see him as the tokenistic boyfriend of colour #whose character is there primarily to reflect well on Becka and her openness to Otherness.' #say that!

If there is any contemporary meaning of the Antichrist (or “the principalities and powers”), the white church seems to be a manifestation of it. It is the enemy of Christ. It was the white “Christian” church that took the lead in establishing slavery as an institution and segregation as a pattern in society by sanctioning all-white congregations. As Frank Loescher pointed out, its very existence as an institution is a symbol of the “philosophy of white supremacy.” “Long before the little signs—‘White Only’ and ‘Colored’—appeared in the public utilities they had appeared in the church.” Haselden shows clearly the work of the Church in setting the pattern that later became general law for all of America: 

“First came the segregation of the Negro within the church; then followed the separation of the churches by the “spontaneous” withdrawal of the Negro Christians; much later, the elaborate patterns of segregation were to arise in the church and in secular society.”

With its all-white congregations, it makes racism a respectable attitude. By remaining silent it creates an ethos that dehumanizes blacks. It is the Church that preaches that blacks are inferior to whites—if not by word, certainly by “moral” example.

i'm never knowingly going to reblog a post that includes the phrase 'touch grass,' and that's not because i don't think it can be psychologically beneficial to get in some outdoor time if possible—i went for a walk earlier! it was great!—or to take a break from conversations that are getting you wound up, but because i think that particular wording generally reveals two things:

first, that the writer is speaking not from a place of genuine concern and sympathy, but from judgmental impatience à la 'get therapy,' which—i too have felt judgmental and impatient in my time, god knows! but when i feel that way i try to go unpack those feelings in private with a thoughtful friend, instead of pretending they constitute a source of wisdom or a helpful sort of energy to direct at people, you know? and i'm definitely not particularly interested in boosting a ventpost from someone else—who pretty clearly hasn't bothered to take the breather they're urging on others, if they're making little digs like that—as if it were actually sincere, carefully-reasoned advice.

and second, that the writer's argument embraces some seriously sloppy assumptions, which pretty immediately undermines my trust in the rest of their analysis—i mean, there's absolutely no guarantee someone's local scene will be any less parochial, just because it's playing out irl! there's also not actually a clean divide between 'people who spend time in the Real World' and 'people who spend time on the internet, which is for porn losers,' as demonstrated by a number of phenomena including, again, the aforementioned grass-recommenders' own presence right here on tumblr…

anyway. obviously we all have our own particular lines we draw around particular rhetoric that bugs us! these are just some reasons why that particular phrasing bugs me.

#language #metatumbling #like. if what you mean is 'your stance would be totally incongruous outside the microcommunity you're speaking to'? #say that! #but also—it's fine to speak to the state of affairs in a microcommunity‚ actually #you just need to define your parameters #but like. so do people who are speaking to Broader Culture bc like. *which* broader culture. #even if you mean American Cishet Culture there are. so many kinds. new york ≠ nebraska. #but anyway it's just like. stop fucking making (and reblogging) these implicit ad hominem arguments #about how people who disagree with you must be idiots and losers because they don't get out enough #if they really are wrong you ought to be able to argue against them without resorting to digs any real leftist ought to be ashamed of #and if spending all one's time in the physically-embodied socially-embedded world really stopped people from being wrong… #well. pretty sure a lot fewer people would be wrong about things‚ if that were true. #anyway i left this to rot in drafts last week for prolixity reasons #and like. it remains guilty of those crimes but they don't render its fundamental assertion untrue. #anyway fundamentally this is the sort of thing you immediately sound like a 'terminally online' loser for protesting and i realize that #but like. if we refuse to open conversational doors because we're scared of the shame bucket someone juvenile balanced on top of them… #fuck that. i decline to live in fear of implicit rhetorical bully tactics.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week
