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.

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…

Well shit. I guess I have to stop identifying as Slytherin and start saying that I’m an ambitious psychopathic bitch.

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.

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

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.

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…

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:

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.
1412
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.

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."
1414
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."

Young, questioning, or scared LGBTQ+ people. You are valid. You are beautiful. You are necessary. You are infinitely more than their hate. They will try to take away your rights. Your power. Your pride. But they will fail. Because we see you. We accept you. We will fight for you.

I grew up in Texas where I was often bullied by white kids. Don’t talk about it much. They’d wait for me after school so they could taunt and hit me on my way home. Once, when I dared call them racist, one of them said, “I’m not racist, I’m just bored.” That really stuck with me.

me: One of the most dark, disturbing, and brilliant YA series of all time. Every waking moment as a child I wondered if my loved ones wanted me dead. Every page was a cruel waking nightmare that forced me to grow up. War and death are inevitable. twitter.com/IGN/status/127…
