I’m wondering if any of the other Faekin on tumblr are sensitive to metal?
I can only wear surgical steal, but silver, gold, iron, pewter, any kind of metal other than surgical give me the worst reaction ever, rashing, burning, itching,
anyone on this boat?
I’m not a Fae, but I have this same problem (allergic skin reaction to metals). It’s a fairly uncommon allergy, but I don’t believe it has anything to do with one’s kin identity.
In a casual group setting, I get into a 25-minute argument with a championship debater about why it’s inappropriate and dehumanizing to say the ‘n-word’ in reference, even when there are no Black/African American people present. I’m the only POC (person of color) in the room, and no one can…
I love it when people say “stop being sensitive”, as if they think it’s better to lack sensitivity to the basic humanity and wellbeing of other people and treat them like animals for their abuse and entertainment. I swear these people never stop and think about their behavior or the things that come out of their mouths for a single goddamn second in their lives.
THIS is what I’ve been to trying to get across to someone lately. Unfortunately, this says it far more eloquently than I did. I don’t feel I made them understand my point, but now hopefully I can.

So, I’ve been doing some more research into the tumblr Otherkin community (as a newly involved kin myself), and I’ve been wondering…
Does anyone else think Transcats and Melted-Snowflake are the same person? Their writing style is strangely similar, and Melted-Snowflake’s tendency to abuse punctuation by adding exclamation points after every sentence comes across more to me like an attempt to disguise her writing style than legitimate speech mannerisms.

Reminds me of the one my mother dropped one day, “it’s a fact because I know it!”
lol
“Have you ever come across a homeless individual and felt totally uncomfortable?You see them and you know they are in need, but you are not sure what to do. You know that handing them money is not the best thing. But, you also see that they clearly have some needs. Their lips are chapped. They are hungry. They are thirsty. They are asking for help.How can you help?Here is a simple idea - blessing bags.This was such an easy project. We are now going to keep a few “Blessing Bags” in our car so that when we do happen to see someone on the streets who is homeless, we can hand them a Blessing Bag. I first learned of these bags from my friend, Julie. I am using the picture of her bags (see above) because the ones we took were taken in horrible lighting and turned out really grainy and hard to see what is inside of them.
If you’d like to make your own Blessing Bags, this is what you would need:Gallon size Ziplock bagsitems to go in the bags, such as:chap stickpackages of tissuestoothbrush and toothpastecombsoaptrail mixgranola barscrackerspack of gumband aidsmouthwashcoins (could be used to make a phone call, or purchase a food item)hand wipesyou could also put in a warm pair of socks, and maybe a gift cardAssemble all the items in the bags, and maybe throw in a note of encouragement. Seal the bags and stow in your car for a moment of providence.This would be a great activity to do with some other families. Each family could bring one of the items going into the bags (ex: toothbrushes). Set up all the items around a table and walk around it with the ziplocks and fill the bags.”
“Note of encouragement”
“Blessing Bag”
You have got to be kidding.
I mean, it’s a nice idea and all, but could you be any more condescending in your execution of it? Sheesh.

The saddest thing about the Welcome to Black Privilege blog, is that it’s full of White folks so unwilling to understand what Black people have been lamenting about for ages that they take superficial things, such as not being able to say “nigga” and compare that to a whole history of black…
Most white people are so disconnected from the experiences of bigotry in general that we often have this bizarre idea that things like race privilege and bigotry are nothing but abstract theories of how to behave as opposed to being the result of things that happen in actual physical reality. This is why we think being called a “cracker” is “just as bad” as a black individual being called by a racial slur. We think it’s about “not being mean”, as opposed to not psychologically enforcing violence and white supremacy.
Imagine if the Westboro Church wasn’t affiliated with Christianity… there is NO way they’d be able to constantly say “God hates America” and not be deported/ killed by the FBI/ shipped away to be tortured in Guantanamo Bay if they weren’t white Christians.
As far as I’m concerned, they’re a government/ country risk but people mess around and let them have their “free speech” because they’re white and Christian.
Definitely. Imagine if the WBC were Muslim, or some other heavily targeted religion? Every last one of them would have been thrown in jail years ago, if not worse. Fuck White Christianity.
This isn’t what it sounds like. I’m not going to point out some racism that I saw while I was watching spongebob but I am going to try to make a parallel between the episode Squirrel Jokes and why racist (sexist, homophobic, etc.) jokes are harmful and not to be taken lightly.
This is an amazing post and you should feel good for making it.
“Christ the Redeemer, Blessed, John Evangelist, The Lord Our Savior, Trinity.”— The names of churches on your block? Nope. Just the names of slave ships that made over 40,000 trips back and forth across the Atlantic during the Trans Atlantic slave trade. The LARGEST FORCED MIGRATION IN HUMAN HISTORY. (via howtobeterrell)
Why is it called “forced migration”? Shouldn’t it just be called kidnapping?
It’s how fucking one-sided it is
It puts the blame for a white man sporting a Confederate Flag as being racist squarely on the shoulders of black people for perceiving it that way instead of “letting go of history”
instead of actually soul-search (well, we know white…
There’s no such thing as an “accidental racist”. Even if one does something racist without understanding the fact that it is racist, such behavior still shows an immense ignorance of history and towards the experiences of non-white people, which in and of itself is a product of white supremacy. You must be in a pretty damn cozy position in life to be completely unaware of what’s racist and what isn’t, and there is a very obvious reason for that…….

Funny how people (usually White people) on tumblr and on facebook will tell me how my “angry” posts on politics, race, etc are doing nothing to help people or change people’s minds but at the same time these people will do everything in their power to silence me and harass me. Why don’t you just ignore me if my posts are so useless?
Angry is the only thing that works on these people. I can’t count the number of times I’ve tried being nice to some bigot, giving them the benefit of the doubt, trying to help them change their mind “nicely”, only to have them casually ignore my efforts and use it as a cue to keep gleefully trampling all over everyone in their path. It was only when I got hostile did they bother to listen and become concerned about what they were doing — because now they have emotional consequences to be afraid of. Of course, even that doesn’t always work. But more often than not, these people will force your hand. They say you’re too angry, but they made you get angry in order to make them listen…because being nice doesn’t work and will never work.
What do we think, atheists?

Some of these things are not like the others…some of these things just don’t belong~
Being an asshole about someone’s religious beliefs isn’t cool, but it’s hardly comparable to homophobia, racism, misogyny or other forms of bigotry. For one thing, If I don’t like a Christian’s beliefs, he/she can still take consolation in the fact that Christianity and other religions practically run the entire fucking planet to the detriment of everyone else. If a Christian doesn’t like my beliefs or some other aspect of my existence (sexuality, gender, etc)., I’ll be lucky if I’m only shunned for it.
prawn and tea leaves omfg how gross can you get white people
