How dare you make me interested in watching The Bachelor.

For those who might not be related to Asian mothers...this is an excellent, positive response. She then said, "I saw you went to protests, you need to wear sunscreen."

I told my mom today that Asian Americans must do everything in their power to destroy white supremacy and she replied, "okay that's very nice."

Let's not forget that adults preaching about identities they know little to nothing about cannot take focus away from trans, non-binary, and questioning youth who deserve our empathy. The @TrevorProject is a wonderful resource if you're in need of support.

What's disheartening about JK Rowling's stance is that, at the heart of fantasy fiction, there's a delicate discovery of selfhood through magic. Trans and nonbinary people deserve the same freedom to write their own narratives, not dogmatic assertions dictating their identities.

This appears to be the primary petition for Javier Ambler to hold the deputies who killed him and the Williamson County Sheriff's Office accountable:

Justice for #JavierAmbler, who was killed by Austin area police in 2019 because he didn't dim his headlights. He lived in my home town. There's a very disturbing video released of body-cam footage where Ambler repeatedly tells them "I can't breathe" as they tase him four times. twitter.com/statesman/stat…

People need to stop wondering if @skaijackson👑 should be exposing racists and start asking why she is single-handedly doing the jobs that these teens' parents, friends, schools, workplaces, and platforms should be handling in the first place.

It's so metaphorical. It's really strong.

The WORST part is the LGBTQ+ community gave you the benefit of the doubt because you are a brilliant person whose work has created magic for millions, including me. It’s even more disappointing than when you retroactively made Dumbledore down with dick and THEN said gay rights.
363
Well shit. I guess I have to stop identifying as Slytherin and start saying that I’m an ambitious psychopathic bitch.

You are a world-renowned billionaire author of a beloved children’s book series and THIS is the battle you want to fight? A righteous proclamation of trans exclusion? In THIS economy? Jesus fucking Cho on a Ching Chang cracker. twitter.com/jk_rowling/sta…

I'll state my main point clearly: skin whitening creams are inherently anti-Black. They not only damage self-perception within one's own culture, but perpetuate beauty standards - now, internationally and online - that were designed to dehumanize people with darker skin.
367
As an Asian who grew up around women who'd only buy creams labeled "whitening" - yes, that shit's racist. Cultures, companies, and celebs perpetuating skin lightening must rectify this. And a lot of app filters are trash too, makin' everyone look like Casper the Colorless Ghost.
368
Cops cannot only be held accountable the few times someone happens to film their violence. We should not have to rely on civilians to capture abuse of power. We can't only pay attention to crimes committed against Black people because we see a video. The. Problem. Is. Systematic.
369
We've seen too many horrific videos capturing police brutality. There's something particularly awful about the sound of the man's head hitting the pavement surrounded by relative quiet that compelled me to write what I watched. I refuse to be desensitized by it. It's nauseating.
370
A second angle of the video shows the man, who appeared to be approaching police to ask a question, only receive attention after protesters who were nearby screamed for someone to help him. A few military personnel then arrive to offer what I can only hope is medical aid.
371
That video. It's of a peaceful situation where an elderly man is shoved to the ground by a group of Buffalo police where he cracks his head and begins to bleed out with no one rushing to his aid. I won't retweet it because that sentence alone should make you beyond angry.
372
Y'all have been whitewashing Jesus for thousands of years and then have the audacity to invoke his name when defending your racism.
373
Listen, y'all need to stop making fun of white gays for their privilege until I'm sitting next to you while you do it.
374
Children's entertainment supports Black Lives Matter because they know better than anyone that you have to teach anti-racism with your ABCs. Racists can go ahead and boycott, I hope your kids like playing with papa johns crusts.
375
Now would be a great time for schools to revise all those U.S. and World History books that helped some of y'all develop these shitty white-centric opinions.
