Saving this post to show my boss who I told the AI flier makes us look lazy and ignorant, and offered to hand draw one. She still printed tons of ai fliers and I’m tempted to make a better one just because it annoys me so much.
Fun update: event was canceled because literally nobody rsvp’d to the AI flier.

This is a perfect time to read the brilliant and unforgettable graphic novel(s) Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, about growing up in Iran during and after the Iranian Revolution, and the rise of the oppressive theocracy that persists to this day.
Both graphic novels are available free online (Persepolis vol. 1, Persepolis vol. 2)
It also was adapted to a wonderful film (co-directed and co-written by the author) which is available to watch for free on Sundance Now (sign up for the free trial)

Actually literally accurate. The song originates in the 1949 musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, while ibuprofen was invented in 1961.

some of you need to understand that people from the global south criticizing imperialism and the problems they suffer from as consequences of it’s existence isn’t invalidating the struggles marginalized communities in the imperial core have to go through
pointing out that citizens of the imperial core have privileges that come as a direct result of the oppression of the third world isn’t denying that those same citizens can also be victims of the imperial core. these ideas can and do coexist
actually why is it so hard for all of you to understand this cause it’s a very simple concept. it’s literally just intersectionality. we say “gay men are prejudiced for being gay but still have privilege due to being men” and no one bats an eye but if you point out “hey even if you’re marginalized in the US that still doesn’t take away from the fact you benefit from imperialism just by virtue of living there” and suddenly all fucking hell breaks loose

Very generally speaking, when you see a black man in a piece of media, be it tv show, movie, video game, etc. there’s something you often see a lot of writers do. To go against the stereotype of black men (and black people in general) being dumb and lazy, you’ll see this black male character being smart and an achiever.
The Black Nerd. A common character type, the nerd will always be very interested in all things nerdy: science, video games, mathematics, etc. In an continued effort to combat stereotypes, the Black Nerd will be lack athleticism, probably being asthmatic (the nerdiest of conditions). The Black Nerd will dress smartly, suspenders and bow ties. They’ll always talk smart too, using proper English with complex words.
Now, I don’t have a problem with a black character being a nerd, indeed black people are a people; we aren’t all the same and we all have varying personalities. The problem I have is that too often we see a distinct disconnect between Blackness and the Black Nerd. The Black Nerd doesn’t listen to hip hop or rap, only classical music. The Black Nerd only has white friends, the only other black characters are into not nerdy stuff. The Black Nerd never ever uses AAVE at any time in any context.
And again I must say that Black people, not being a monolith, there are no hard fast rules to being Black. I’m more than sure there are Black people like what I’ve described above, I’m not saying it’s impossible; what I’m getting at is that the only Black Nerd we see. There are Black Nerds that play basketball, that bump Kendrick Lamar, and use AAVE since it’s an ever changing dialect. I’m just saying there’s no one way of being a nerd and no one way of being Black.
Well @dumbey, seems we’re in similar boats
This ain’t about him, this is about Black/Asian solidarity. Focus.

re: the reblog I just made about friendships with exchange students as an autistic middle schooler, one of my most cherished friendship experiences is from sixth grade where we had two exchange students from korea for a semester and they were quite socially isolated bc they were beginners in english and sixth graders tend not to be the most forgiving of social difference (SPOT THE UNDERSTATEMENT) and one day I saw them drawing sailor moons together and I was SO OBSESSED WITH SAILOR MOON it was absolutely my Special Interest and I never stopped thinking about or talking about it AND NONE OF MY PEERS UNDERSTOOD!!! AND I WAS LIKE OMG YOU LIKE SAILOR MOON and they were both immediately like YOU KNOW SAILOR MOON???? and we were immediately Best Friends who spent the rest of the semester communicating primarily by exchanging sailor moon fanart painstakingly drawn on our class worksheets in glitter gel pen. telling each other which characters were our favorites by pointing them out in the pictures and making Big Excited Gestures. it was awesome.
nonverbal communication is just something that can be. so specific. and so great. wow. I miss that

Incorrect! I used to work at target and one time a little bird landed on my cart and we became friends :)
i have had this post sent to me. i am the spiders georg of this post i feel because i am almost always happy inside of grocery stores. i make excuses to go to the grocery store more often. i get excited to go to new grocery stores i haven’t been to yet. i went to a grocery store while in the middle of a panic attack once and it actually made me feel better. i am the grocery store pervert.
I genuinely love that for you 🤝 I wish I liked the grocery store more, it’s just so over stimulating 😩 thankfully for every crying overstimulated blob there’s a grocery store pervert ready to save the day.
