It's not that white people have no culture. It's that "white" as a political concept deliberately aims to destroy cultural diversity and subsume it under a homogenized fake constructed identity and then weaponizes your inability to find cultural connection within it. Good morning
I wrote this tweet because I got frustrated with my post office this morning and these are the numbers it's doing
To the White Supremacists: Whiteness destroys your culture. Genetics is not heritage, and your heritage has been stolen from you and replaced with hate. You have been hoodwinked and betrayed by a culture of death that wants you to be a nameless footsoldier. Find your roots. Peace
and in case it wasn't clear: Whiteness erases and homogenizes all cultures it comes into contact with, as any Black American or Middle-Eastern person will tell you. The trick lies in recognizing it does this with "white" cultures too and that it does them no service. I'm done

Haha hey remember when the conservatives got mad that a Dr. Seuss book was just quietly allowed to go out of print. Anyway they're banning Maus
Pointing out hypocrisy is pointless. They know they are being hypocrites. Point out what is consistent about their actions instead: they're just kinda banal racists and don't like that being pointed out
I like yall that are like "they're not banning Maus, they're just not allowing them in some libraries" what do you think a ban is lmao
As the Official Ghost That Haunted r/Antiwork: No, it is not better to rebrand into "let us reimagine the 9-5 as a kinder, gentler boot" and the original message of being *against work under capitalism* - with all its hierarchy, alienation, exploitation, abuses - is still good
I hated that sub and I wish I had a cent for every point of karma havested mindlessly with my content on there but don't imagine I drop the sentiment itself just because liberals saw weakness and took over
You know the nazi bar anecdote? where if you let even one in, eventually they will take over?
Every social movement from occupy to now, even an entirely online one like antiwork, has suffered that fate. Except with liberals. Think about that for coming movements.
Thinking about how Basic D&D has "reversible" spells, so you could prepare a Cure but invert it to cast Inflict on the fly, and how this is awesome so naturally 5e ignores this for everything but one spell
There's also another element: some spells can be *dispelled* if you know them, so if you know Blade Barrier you can cast it to dispel an active Blade Barrier in the world, and I really love that as a general rule? 5e has absolutely nothing like that either
a big element is that wizards and "prepared" casters can't do this reversal on the fly, but "innate" casters can, so that's also a thing that could set a sorcerer apart as a unique mechanic. 5e has instead given wizards the unique feature sorcerers had lmao
-political bias
-unsubtle critique
-a world that looks normal to the authors but is going to seem alien to Americans (free healthcare)
-you can pet the dog
Every sale goes towards making the lives of several trans folks (and an australian dude I *guess*) that little bit better
It's a grand fucking irony of our age that people think Bill Gates is trying to implant us all with microchips when the actual conspiracy he is behind and which is completely open and on record is preventing open source vaccines, preserving copyright and slowing vaccinations
This is like when people theorized that the buried research oil companies hid were water engines or some shit and when it turned out to be proof of climate change instead they just dropped that thread immediately
the conspiracy theorists found this and are talking about nanochips being used to track their movements, with their phones, and I'm all for this
