gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

Hi

I like boys <3

so glad I'm not the only one

I think most people refer to it as a "white people thing" because of the process of cultural gentrification. White people learned about veganism/vegetarianism and added it to their portfolio of philosophies and lifestyles and aesthetics that they rebrand. For many, when they think of a vegan, they picture a hipster white guy who hates anyone who eats meat and throws paint on people wearing fur coats and constantly advertises how veganism "changed my life and cured my adhd and made me rich". And that's because those types of people absolutely live for virtue signaling. They are so loud that they drown out the original cultural background of where vegetarian and vegan food comes from. And that's not to serve as an excuse for people saying veganism is "white people behavior," but an explanation for why that way of thinking is so common.

But it also probably has something to do with POC being lumped into a monolith, and unfortunately, that monolith rarely includes cultures that are POC dominated. POC are seen through the lens of a white society, not their own culture.

Calling vegetarian/veganism a “white people thing” as some fucking racist bullshit lmao

I am Afro-caribbean and Indian. Firstly India has the highest vegetarian population in the world, and in the Caribbean the rastafari have their whole ital movement/diet - which my Jamaican father is a massive believer in.

Y’know what other countries have massive populations of vegetarians and vegans? Mexico. Taiwan. Ethiopia. The fuck do you mean it’s a “white thing”?

Cops are trained to be bad. Anyone who insists on being good is not welcome.

im expecting a lot of "pride month is over, now it's time for wrath month" posts. that's cool and all. but july is disability pride month.

pride month is when you're SUPPOSED to be angry. it's a celebration AND a riot. that was the best time to get angry. second best time is now. but it's not wrath month. let disabled people have this.

please get angry with us. please fight with us! we are both losing our rights, if we ever even had them to begin with. please don't talk over us, especially during our own pride month.

did you know over 10,000 people die a year while waiting to be told whether or not they can receive disability benefits?

did you know while being provided disability benefits, disabled people cannot have more than $2,000 total in their bank account? the average rent for an apartment in the united states, as of last month, is $1,995. per month.

while they want to kill queer people, they want to kill disabled people just as bad. please look out for your disabled friends and family. please look out for those of us who don't have friends and family. those of us who are out on the streets.

It wasn't supposed to happen to me

I wasn't supposed to hit a wall

I'm not supposed to back down

I'm not supposed to settle for less than perfect

Yet here I am

A failure

Every day I get on the internet and a new fact that further deepens my anticonsumtion values gets thrown at me

I hate it when you tell me not to worry about it

When you tell me not to do the one thing I'm good at, not to give you the one thing I have to offer. If not this, then what? What do I have to give? I don't have your talent, your skill, your usefulness. I know you mean well, but when you say not to worry, what I hear is I'm replaceable. I don't need to give you the one thing I treasure, the one thing I rely on to show my dedication and care, because you can get something else without me.

Then what am I here for?
