Black Lives Matter Does Not Meanfuck Anyone Whos Not Black, It Meanssupport Black People.

“Black lives matter” does not mean “fuck anyone who’s not black,” it means “support black people.”

“Gay rights” doesn’t mean “fuck anyone who’s not gay,” it means “support gay people.”

“Trans rights” doesn’t mean “fuck all cis people,” it means “support trans people.”

“Respect women” doesn’t mean “fuck all men,” it means “support women.”

It’s not about you.

a gunman in georgia just went on a shooting spree targeting asian owned business in a hate crime involving 8 deaths of people with varying nationalities (6 asian, with 1 white woman and 1 white man) last night. (click on photos to enlarge, credits to @frogvk on twitter for the graphics)

My dear lgbt+ kids, 

If you’re a teenager, you are allowed to have a crush on teenage celebrities - even if you’re both the same gender. 

“Don’t sexualize teenage celebrities” means adults shouldn’t act as if teenagers are sexually avaible to them, just because they happen to be famous. It means it’s not okay to disguise pedophile thoughts as “normal fan behavior”. It means that being a fan does not give anyone the “right” to be creepy, the “right”  to make someone uncomfortable and harrass them. 

It does NOT mean “Gay teenagers are overly sexual and predatory and gross” - and if someone uses it to make you feel that way, they’re twisting it to excuse their homophobia. 

Boys having celebrity crushes on boys is okay. Girls having celebrity crushes on girls is okay. There’s nothing predatory or overly sexual about that. Those romantic feelings for someone who is far away (and doesn’t know you exist) can even be a healthy way to “test the waters”, can help you explore your feelings in a safe way. 

It goes without saying that you shouldn’t do anything that makes them uncomfortable or harrass them in any way, either. Respect boundaries - but that goes for everyone and it’s actually homophobic to imply that gay teenagers are more likely to harass celebrities than straight teenagers are. 

It’s just a modern spin on the old myth that “gay people are all pedophiles!”. There’s no truth to that. 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

Happy international woman’s day to all the ladies out there~ 🌹🌹🌹

“Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They’ll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a saviour. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.” -Hayao Miyazaki

Happy International Women’s Day!

the shooting in Atlanta of 8 massage parlour workers by a white man was a white supremacist hate crime and the latest in a series of attacks on Asians in the US. however, it’s also extremely important to note that the group he targeted are a community that is already more vulnerable to state violence than many, in form of police raids, deportations, and systematised stigmatisation. this is an industry that’s often conflated with and overlapping with sex work, and the industry has faced decades of criminalisation and dehumanisation, with a long history of being targeted by cops and systemic injustice along with racialised misogyny and fetishisation. they are also often excluded from conversations about the latest rise of anti-asian racism in the US, since many do not fulfill the “american” part of asian-american.
