A non-POC telling a POC what is or isn't racist is some of the most insulting, condescending bullshit I've ever seen in my life.
Hollow: You don't believe in privilege?
Hollow: You don't believe in privilege? :Male privilege is my rapists feelings being more important than mine.
It's his voice being louder and more listened to. It's the fact that he won't get charged or ever punished because people would rather believe that I am making it up than that a man 'with such potential' was a sadistic, violent abuser.
White privilege is when they would beleive it if he was Aboriginal.
Male privilege is the fact that your peers and family would prefer to justify your actions and blame your victim when it has been proven that less than 0.6% of rapes reported to the police are false.
White privilege is knowing Aboriginal women are 5 times more likely to be victims of sexual assault than white women, and still having more access to support services and therapy than them.
Male privelage is the fact that only two in a hundred rapes reported to the police will ever result in even one day spent in jail.
White privilege is knowing that even with those statistics, I am still more likely to see my rapist jailed than an Indigenous woman with the same experience.

""America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve.""-
— Tom Morello, Guitar World (via thequestion77)
or! you could dumpster in any grocery store dumpster and not starve and you can find a home to squat in so you have shelter. it's not fun or entertaining but it is doable.

märƒmεℓℓow: antidelusions: Also work does NOT just commodify your time, it...:Also work does NOT just commodify your time, it literally alienates you from yourself. When you are at work, you are only there to perform a function. You are not permitted to have ideas, to take your time, to engage in dialogue, to contradict the people you come into contact…

I have a bad habit of assuming I've annoyed people, and it usually ends up with me dropping communication and hoping they'll be the ones to continue it.

This sort of behavior used to irritate me until I learned about how invasive paparazzi are in America. There are no laws against it.
I've also realized, that by flipping off the camera, the pictures can't be sold to magazines because of "profanity". So really, she's just protecting herself.like that time Marilyn Manson went to the airport with FUCK written across his face and he kept apologizing to everyone and people with kids and stuff but he had to so the paparazzi couldn't take and sell pictures of him
Yea dont demonize celebs who do this They are trying for privacy if only a little
I didn't know that…
