I Wish White Women Would Decentralize Themselves More Often And Listen To Women Of Color When Were Talking

i wish white women would decentralize themselves more often and listen to women of color when we’re talking about social justice issues. abortion bans are not only about having control over people’s bodies, or at least, there’s more to it than that.

the idea is that an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

a racial injustice indubitably, somehow, will tie back into a gender issue. you shouldn’t only care about sociopolitical injustice when it effects you directly, but it’s come to my attention that a lot of you lack basic empathy.

the great replacement theory says that white people will eventually be overtaken in number by the black population. white men fear not having enough babies (soldiers) to uphold white supremacy. these men don’t care ab babies; they’re actively using you as incubators for an impending race war.

banning abortion is also an act of class warfare. living is expensive. they refuse to raise minimum wage. they refuse to give us free healthcare. so, what’s the consequence of that? we’ve stopped having children.

covid caused hundreds of thousands of people to lose their lives—for politicians, for businessmen, for capitalists, this means the economy needs more workers. they need more people to sign up for more shifts to feed their children. they need more babies to grow up and eventually become laborers. they need more babies to sell at adoption centers.

my point is that, these issues are all interconnected. classism, racism, and the patriarchy are not just systems of oppression that operate individually. they hold each other up. it’s like an infection—the police, banking, schools; the same country that bipoc have been warning the world about for years, while being ignored by said world, is the same country that snatched up your right to have an abortion.

What happened to Callum’s hair?? I’m kinda scared. Love Claudia’s hair though.

Hi, so this might be random but I haven't seen anything about it on here and I know this is a website full of depressed people who probably use dry shampoo.

DRY SHAMPOO RECALL

"Among 148 batches from 34 different brands of dry shampoo products, 70% of samples tested showed "quantifiable" levels of benzene."

These products and more are being recalled for containing cancer causing chemicals. And because of the nature of dry shampoo is to spray it in your bathroom, directly onto your head, it can linger in the air and expose you to the chemicals for longer periods of time.

"The detection of high levels of benzene in dry shampoos should be cause for significant concern since these products are likely used indoors, where benzene may linger and be inhaled for prolonged periods of time."

THIS IS A LINK to one article full of information, but you should probably do your own research on the subject to figure out if you currently have or have used one of these products and what to do about it moving forward.
