So I’ve been pretty quiet about the Annabeth casting between work, school, doctor who and MCR, the Percy Jackson show has kind of taken a back bench. I think it’s actually for the best because it gave me time to put my thoughts into words. Plain and simply, if you’re violently upset about Annabeth being black, you’re racist. Look, I was pretty disappointed I wouldn’t be seeing her angry grey eyes and blonde curls in action too, at first but as I thought about it the better it sat with me. The whole troupe (Uncle Rick loves breaking character troupes) that she absolutely decimated was the “dumb blonde”. Now a days, the dumb blonde thing has gone to the wayside, it was popular in the 90s and in the 2000s when Rick was writing the books but not so much anymore. HOWEVER, there is a new troupe (stereo type) that is taking a very disappointing foothold in our society. The loud angry black girl. By giving this role to Leah Jefferies (who I’m sure was perfect in auditions) he is preserving the spirit of Annabeth Chase for today’s audiences. If a little black girl can see this girl on screen be reserved, intelligent, and a calculating leader they will be getting representation that they need and deserve. That’s just my 2 cents and if you don’t like it well no one forced you to read it.

Urgent! Black disabled enby needs help with Rent and Phone Bill. Due by 8/4
Black disabled autistic enby needs help with August rent and phone bill, I was recently diagnosed with cptsd after an assault and experiencing emotional abuse in a relationship as a result I’ve been experience panic attacks and haven’t been able to work full time. I start a new part time job this week and would be able to pay you back when I get paid! You could leave a note, I understand this is a difficult time for everyone but any help even just spreading the word would be a life saver.
im a homeless black girl and just need money so i can buy food and afford hotel stays. i'm still looking for a stable freelance job and need all the help i can get to stay out of the cold. i'm also open for commissions.
The reason calling women “females” isnt okay is the same reason calling black people “blacks” or trans people “transgenders” isn’t okay.
Notice how the missing word is “people”. When you take off that word and change the term from a noun to an adjective, you strip the humanity from the term.
“Female” isn’t a noun, just like “black” and “transgender” aren’t nouns. Female what? Female human? Female frog? It could be anything.
You aren’t calling women “females” because it’s sCiEnTiFiCaLLy aCuRaTe. You just don’t see them as people whose humanity is worth acknowledging.
But I know this little grammar lesson will probably go right over the heads of anyone it’s actually targeted at - seeing as y’all can’t grasp the concept of pronouns I don’t really expect you to understand adjectives.
ok I’m convinced now that if you have never ever backed up your words with actual real life political activism you need to genuinely shut the fuck up about politics and voting. “stop saying you won’t vote for genocide joe clearly guys just want to tear the voting system down without doing any actual work” maybe that’s your reality but stop projecting your weird ass liberal politics on everyone else cause you just sound like a fed trying to get ppl to confess exactly what they’ve done irl
Stick to your rear windshield, your front door, your mailbox, wherever it needs to be seen. I didn't make the original blank template, so if you know who to credit that would be cool. Edit as you like to shout what social justice issue matters to you with the help of the OG SJW magical girl ✨️🌙✨️
I feel so poisonous. Sometimes I swear I can feel the poison snaking through my veins, polluting the air, tainting the water, absorbing into the food... everything I touch feels dirty. Disgusting. Repulsive.
y’all don’t be giving what y’all think you do when you compare one oppressed group to another. Quickest way for me to tune the fuck out of what you’re saying.
[Note: This is actually a rerun from over a year ago, so if you think he means only one side of any current conflict, you're wrong. He means all the civilians in any conflict. He meant trans folks at the time of the original post. He means all good, innocent folks just trying to get by.]

Nobody should have to continually argue for their basic right to exist. If you are part of a group forced to do that then please know I am on your side and wishing a world with less bigotry for your future.

Long story short, I’m a Black autistic nonbinary person who’s recently been diagnosed with c-ptsd after an s.a last year in an abusive relationship. I’ve been experiencing severe panic attacks and a loss in verbal communication which have made masking and working consistently with the public very difficult! I’m asking for help as I’m attempting to get registered for classes so I can go back to school this fall which will allow me to find a job that can better accommodate my disabilities. But first I need help paying back a prior debt, and I also need help with rent for next month. If you can’t donate, please help me spread the word!

ALL THREE NOW HAVE EMMYS....
I remember NO BLACK WOMEN being nominated even when they were Jasmine Guy, Phylicia Rashad, Tichina Arnold, and Tracey Ellis Ross...
The fact that these ladies now proudly possess the highest industry affirmation of their achievements in their fields... (Hell, AYO has SWEPT these awards...)
I'm just very very happy for these sisters.
