Imagine getting locked out of a building because you got your face scanned 2 blocks away and it decided you didnāt belong (not white enough).
Imagine some white person getting angry because the software has deemed them not European enough.
Imagine the irony of having to actually draw cyberpunk crap on your face. Like extra eyes and stuff on your cheeks. Trying to look as inhuman as possible to the cameras in order to be treated like a human should.
To add onto that, this is why people need to stop calling their ideological opponents nazis if they don’t actually follow nazi beliefs. It perpetuates the myth that nazism isnāt a coherent ideology, and it makes it easier for them to be like “anything gets called a nazi nowadays =(((” when someone calls them out for perpetuating nazism.
So the subplot ofĀ Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriendāwho unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!āby becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the āfriend zoneā.
Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!
Donāt forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about
It always fuck me up that older people donāt understand how this story is as essential to most american children as Gone with the Wind or Mary Poppins was.
unironically, this is one of the best books/movies for young people that exists
Kissing Kate Did Nothing Wrong
And the technical writing of Holes is perfect. Like, itās one of the most technically-perfect books ever written. Basically any plotting or pacing or characterization issue youāre having, read Holes and really study how Sachar did it. THE LIZARDS! THE LIZARDS.
the twisty prophecies! the lizards! the lipstick! the humor! this book doesnāt play. a true classic.
The social democrats in Sweden are currently: a) Proposing to make the existing draconian anti-immigration laws permanent b) re-introducing the draft c) Strengthening already massive police power d) Proposing the setting up of Nauru-style concentration camps e) Banning the children of illegal immigrants from schools and healthcare, therefore making public servants extensions of the immigration service
This needs to be known outside of Sweden. Not that critique will help anything, but nontheless this needs to be understood whenĀ discussing social democracy and theĀ āPeopleās Homeā model of Swedish social democracy, arguably the most developed one in the world for a very, very long time.Ā
Oh, I forgot: f) Proposing making strikes illegal for minority (i.e. not controlled by teh social democrats) unions g) Continuing the privatization of the health-care system
proof that the idea of āif you arenāt successful by your 20s itās already too late for youā is the biggest bullshit in the universe
Iāve spent 28 years of my life in near poverty, making some really bad decisions during my teenage and young adult years and in a constant whirlpool of things during my childhood contributing to my severe anxiety and depression. People in my life – family, people who bullied me – tried to /actively stunt me/ from making art because they were convinced Iād never make a living from it. but I just kept dedicating my time to my passion for art and polishing my knowledge and skills and making the active decision to improve myself as a person and im JUST NOW making my very first comic series that is looking like it might be successful
Iām nearly 30 let your passion for what you love pull you through the times that fucking suck, and your break will come. realize that people who are very successful at young ages either have money/privilege, or EXTREMELY lucked out. they arenāt the norm.
Reblogging for the comment at the end
Colonel Sanders didnāt reach success until 73 years old, when KFC began to pick up. His original shop even closed. Now itās an international restaurant. Just because you arenāt successful in your 20s doesnāt mean itās over.
the worst part is that people with mental illness are like twice as likely to be victims of sexual assault – like if he WERE mentally ill, that wouldnt make him any less likely to have suffered a sexual assault soooooo
It’s also anti Black too. Reminds me of when Black activists during the Civil Rights movement were diagnosed with schizophrenia.
White racism is the epitome of cowardice. The worst damage is done anonymously and under cover. The new hoods are trolling, anonymous police tips, polling against Trump, and then voting for his shitty ass when the booth curtain is closed. The most damage in racism is done by the most pitifully cowardly acts.Ā
They donāt want to be seen as racists, but want to be continue being that digusting bigot when they wonāt be seen and shamed in the act.
She said possibly a weapon, a large tool which means she had a āvisual.āĀ This person that called the police should be brought up on charges for endangering peoples lives.Ā
Disgusting behaviour on the part of the person calling the police and of the cops themselves. What gets me is that these (white) people are willing to invest so much energy, time and effort intoā¦hate. What is wrong with them? š¤š”
