Transcript: It reminds me of the “bike to work” movement. That is also portrayed as white, but in my city more than half of the people on bike are not white. I was once talking to a white activist who was photographic “bike commuters” and had only pictures of white people with the occasional “Black professional” I asked her why she didn’t photograph the delivery people, construction workers etc… id. the Black and [Latine] and Asian people… and she mumbled something about trying to “improve the image of biking” then admitted that she didn’t really see them as part of the “green movement” since they “probably have no choice” - I was so mad I wanted to quit working on the project she and I were collaborating on. So, in the same way when people in a poor neighborhood grow food in their yards… it’s just being poor- but when white people do it they are saving the earth or something.“ -comment left on the Racialious blog post “Sustainable Food and Privilege: Why is Green always White (and Male and Upper-Class) (via meggannn).

the same thing when you look at the ~tiny house movement~ versus, say, people living in trailers, or even just renting in apartments or sublet housing

I saw that comment when it was first posted and I will never forget it and think about it all the time when I see bike-forward initiatives under discussion.

If YOU go places on an E-Bike instead of a gas scooter it’s Eco!
if I go out in my wheelchair I get pitying looks.
“It’s Not Eco-Friendly If The Undesirables are Doing It” is a thing to watch out for.
the fact that i am not having a halloween party with the mutuals is so fucked up and evil. we should be complimenting each other’s costumes and watching movies and eating halloween candy and blasting fun spooky music and shit NOT just blogging with so many miles between us it isnt right
As in like what was the default thing you would draw on the margins when you were in class and had no creative ideas? Personally I was a wings and eyes kid. Usually wings though.
Do not fall into despair. Continue calling your local officials, attending protests, boycotting companies that fund open genocide. Because of this media blackout, we are now Palestine’s voice - please do your best for them.
Something i really loved about the winchesters is that it told you that dean, and anyone who related to him, could have a happy ending
When they killed dean off in the spn finale, they did it implying someone like dean couldnt HAVE a happy ending. It was too late for him. He could only find peace in death.
Then the winchesters said “No actually, fuck you. We are going to create an entire cast of characters mirroring dean and all of his issues and we are going to let them work through them together and give them a shot at living and being happy. We are going to let them talk things through and support each other and go to therapy. We are going to tell the audience that no, dean wasnt content just to die. No, he wasnt beyond repair. He could have had a happy ending if the show had let him. We might not be able to take the finale back, but we can give you this. We can tell you that anyone, even John and Mary, who were doomed by the narrative before they were even born, can have a happy ending. You just have to work for it.”
The first couple of captain america movies were good. I know. I know. I hate the mcu too but the first couple of captain america movies were good I’m Sorry. I have to speak my truth
The mcu wasn’t ALWAYS completely soulless. Like it was never high art or anything it’s always been kinda silly action movies but the first couple of em were good. I’m not gonna let the first avenger + winter soldier get memory hole’d Never forget what we once had. Me & like three other people are left standing in the stucky trenches in 2023. I am cringe but I am right. Remember what we believed in
I’ll happily go farther than that: Winter Soldier is a great movie. The dialogue is good, the pacing is good, each supporting actor gets a solid arc which means for once Natasha and Fury are written well and Anthony Mackie gets to show off his range, the fight choreography is snappy and well thought-out, and the Bucky reveal is timed and acted impeccably.
Also, not to soapbox about this again like it’s 2014 lol, but while I’m on the fence about how intentional it was, they really did go ahead and say “the core of US military imperialism is white supremacy and it’s irredeemable, the only thing to do with it is expose it and burn it down” and they said it cogently and impactfully.
Wasn’t aware that people were saying that these movies were bad? But this is a hill I’m perfectly willing to die on even 9 years later. Of course taste is subjective but I’m with OP, I’m speaking my truth and Winter Soldier was awesome.
