And the rest of them like it that way, so they can move in silence.

The same way they were all hiding behind the US's military.
My point is not: The US is less racist.

It is also not: France is more racist.

My big takeaway is racism in the US is just... transparent. It's easy to see, because of the legacy of slavery and Black people in this country, the racism is loud.

The thing about being an US born person of immigrant extraction who has also lived in a couple of other countries and traveled to a bunch more is... I can be both very clear eyed in the way the US sucks while also being aware of how other countries use the USA's failings to distract from their own.

What do I mean?

It is very easy to look at the US and point to the reams of data about racial disparities.

I'm a Black woman. I get it.

And then you go to France and hear a French person tell you racism is not a problem there.

How would they know?

France doesn't track racial data.

Sexism and racism and misogyny and other prejudices are TAUGHT. they are not inate. Little boys aren't born hateful. The first step toward a future of better men is to love little boys.

Bro has absolutely no fucking business saying Dems should be less judgemental when he plays people to waste their time making fun of Trump despite the fact that's it's clearly not bothering him at all anymore.
*tremendous sarcastic jerking-off motion*
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

There was a very loud part of the fandom that was never gonna accept PIC on its own terms, but the P-Stew interference certainly did nothing to help

At all
So many of the elements in S1 and some in S2 of PIC are absolutely stellar! But they never cohered into anything under the Sir Patrick vanity / nostalgia tug of war. And then S3 happened…

But like, I do have to wonder about the toll that takes to believe her kid is quirkless for the last ten years, he gets powers enough to get into the top school in the country and then he's getting wrapped up in life or death situations like once a month
I think so cuz I'm Old™ and watched this anime for the first time this summer and as an adult, my first concern was for poor Inko watching her baby destroy himself over and over again

She was ready to pull him outta UA by season 3 and I don't blame her

I dunno, man, I'm not seeing the bit where it's gonna destroy Star Trek forever. Looks like it'll be perfectly solid, sometimes great, occasionally terrible, with flashes of unspeakably cheesy dialogue. Just what Gene envisioned.

(Also I am having feelings at seeing a plus-sized middle-aged lady on the bridge, that body diversity isn't just Mary Wiseman's job.)

Section 31 is (to date) the worst thing to come out in recent years, with Picard as a close second, and the fandom survived both those things

We'll be fine with this

this genuinely, for real, does make me feel better sometimes

every time you really land a joke, just remind yourself, "wow, all that money and Elon Musk still can't do that"
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

I truly did not believe the "Fandom works best with five ppl you vibe with the most" thing truly worked until I did exactly that with this one server a few weeks ago 🙂‍↕️

Truly the way to go, 100/10 no notes

This ten year old I teach piano to walked into his lesson this week and opened with an incredibly racist comment/"joke"
I was so floored I didn't properly organize my response to it for several minutes, at which point I interrupted his playing and said "that comment you made was really unkind"

No further problems from that kid afterward!
Sometimes you just gotta make people feel too awkward and embarrassed to make a bigoted joke, I think it's one of the best tactics - "would you like your friends to hear you say that?" "Uh.... no..."

I still have moots who remember my Launchpad simping days from 2021 👀
nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how "busy" you were
- how many hours you worked

people will remember:
- that one person or fictional character you could NOT shut up about, you made sure they never forget

I used my hero academia characters for one example in the workshop, and during the exercises one girl asked:

Her: so you watch MHA?
Me: yeah
Her: do you ship Deku and Bakugo?
Me: I gotta go
Teaching back to back workshops at my old grade school, and a girl nearly fell out of her chair when I mentioned amazing digital circus

I'd pay so much money to have Togacho art drawn in AI Yazawa's art style

Like "it's on the list to commission her directly if I hit the lotto" amounts of money

Probably pay for Janeway/Seven of Nine too despite being a J/C girly as a treat

It's what sapphics deserve

Oh! Something I hadn't really noticed the first time I read it

There's this explanation on how applying for a hero uniform works in UA and then shows Izuku about to fill up his form for that

That's when his mom comes in with the outfit she made for him
