Marginalized Communities - Tumblr Posts

PLEASE for the love of the universe read anti-colonial science fiction and fantasy written from marginalized perspectives. Y’all (you know who you are) are killing me. To see people praise books about empire written exclusively by white women and then turn around and say you don’t know who Octavia Butler is or that you haven’t read any NK Jemisin or that Babel was too heavy-handed just kills me! I’m not saying you HAVE to enjoy specific books but there is such an obvious pattern here

Some of y’all love marginalized stories but you don’t give a fuck about marginalized creators and characters, and it shows. Like damn

Reflection on Matthew 25 by Mia Carella

I may not be Jewish, but the wave of bomb threats is concerning. No one should have to fear for their lives because of their background. Jews, Racial Minorities, LGBTQ+, etc. EVERYONE deserves to be treated like human beings, because we are just that, Human. We deserve to have our voices heard and to be able to come home at night alive and at peace. FEAR should have no place in our society! HATE should have no place in our society! LOVE and RESPECT should come to us as naturally as breathing!

Re-Blog this, please. Spread this around and let people know about the atrocities affecting not only the Jewish community but every community that is marginalized, especially around religious and ethnic holidays.

Because I'm only seeing other Jews posting about this, non-Jews I need you to be aware that for the past month or two there has been a wave of bomb threats and swattings at synagogues all across the US. They usually do it when services are being livestreamed. I haven't seen a single non-Jew talking about this. High holidays are coming up in a few weeks, which is when most attacks happen against our communities. We're worried, and we need people to know what's happening to us.
