Regarding "alliance"
blackamazon:
holzmantweed:
So a few days ago I said I’d break down why I’m not on board with “alliance” as a term for people who seek to dismantle systems that privilege them to use to describe themselves. Here goes:
Alliance is a state that two parties enter on mutual negotiation and agreement. One does not declare oneself an ally, nor is there such a thing as being an ally to anything as...

How Sleipnir Happened (Complete With Distracting...
therothwoman:
Because I’m seeing a ton of posts going around our favorite eight-legged Norse equine but they never seem to go any further than “so there was that one time Loki fucked a horse.” So with the aid of my trusty old Illustrated Book of Myths and some inspiration from Myths Retold, here’s the complete story to aid the curious:
Okay so
One day in Asgard, everyone realized that they...

Anonymous asked you: If we have rich mineral resources like gold why aren’t we mining them already? That would help uplift the poverty by so much!!
Yes, it’s true that the Philippines is known for it’s abundant natural resources, majority which are untapped. Many foreigners and some people do want us to mine them as they say that mining all our natural resources like gold,...
Who Wants to Borrow My Books? →
So far only 4 people have taken me up on this offer to borrow my books for the period that I’m moving to California… is my collection that uninteresting? D: I’m going out to buy boxes for them, so please don’t be shy in picking stuff out! You’d be doing me a favour.

It’s scary stupid that anyone seriously thinks this.

Anyone who says, “My ancestors didn’t benefit from slavery!” should also seriously read the part about the progressive assistance (AFFIRMATIVE ACTION) granted to white immigrants that was denied Black people.

agirlincollege:
On January 27, 2011 at a bar in Statesboro, GA I was called a nigger and had alcohol poured on my head. A complete stranger said, “Oh look, there goes another nigger.” and then minutes later there was alcohol on my head, down my shirt, my back. I did the right thing: I walked away. I refused to become who and what that stranger wanted me to be. When I turned around, I didn’t see...

It’s not really a question, but an observation. I understand the reasons, but on Facebook after the recent post about TMI casting information a lot of fans are confused as to why they would want an Asian actor for Magnus Bane. Think you could clear it up, once again, to clear the confusion?”

I'm getting re-segregationist in my old age
witchsistah:
I am just tired and not seeing the point of whining and begging White people to include us in shit. They obviously don’t want to do it and when they do, they do it with such passive-aggressive bad grace. Honestly, I think our response to “I don’t see any PoC in this” should be automatically to make our own. Don’t inform them of the lack of color. Don’t expect them to do anything...
I just did a lot of math.

dionthesocialist:
In America, we spend 3.6 billion dollars a year in border control.
Still, there are 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
The cost of naturalizing one person is $655.
Now, let’s say there are 2,750,000 families worth of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. (based on taking the 11 million people and dividing it by four).
It would cost...

So a derecho’s about to roll through the mid-Atlantic U.S. region — specifically the DC area. Uh, I recommend charging your cell phones if possible since there’s a chance we all might be out of power before the night’s through. (And get flashlights ready if you’re at home.)

Desperately Searching Female/WOC Geek Voices
princessrols:
Does anyone know of any geeky podcasts that are run by Women? Specifically Women of colour? I would actually love a list of any such podcasts and what they talk about. I’m into: anime/Western animation (Sailor moon, Legend of Korra etc), RPGs (final Fantasy), TV (Vampire Diaries, ANYTHING), Films, Books, etc.
I’m just really tired of listening to male geeks talk about the stuff I...
