外国人差別に反対するとお花畑だの平和ボケだの言われるの、全く笑止千万…というか、そういうこと言う人、たぶんほんとは外国籍者がほとんどいないようなとこに住んでるんじゃないかと疑ってる。私、けっこう外国籍の方が多いところに住んでて、外国籍と思われるめちゃくちゃ不愉快な隣人もわりと見かけるんですが、それ以上に日本国籍保持者と思われる人に不愉快な目にあわされたことのほうがはるかに多いよ。だから人間がみんな嫌いだっていうのは非常にわかりますが外国籍者が嫌いだっていうのは全く筋が通らないと思うよ。

「今いる人たちを平等に、大切にするしかない」って企業経営の話だと「そうだそうだ」となる人ばかりなのに、国の話になるとなんでわからなくなってしまうんだろうか

声優さんの話してる内容が本当に酷くて迂闊に声優ラジオを聞かなくなったという悲しい過去を持つアルミだが、今回は辛いの閾値高め　とはいえもっと辛い人がこのTLにはたくさんいるでしょう……

もし日本人が海外移住をして、現地の人に「あなたは良い外来種だからここに居てもいいよ」と言われても、それをレイシズムだと気付かずに、「よかった！良い外来種でい続けよう！」みたいな価値観を受け入れて平気で生きていく気がする、今のネット見てると。血の気が引く。

I just really wish they'd make a browser version since I'm hardly ever on my phone for messaging purposes 🥲

I haven't been on in several months because I was getting frustrated with the messaging and then the US election happened 😅
But I did make a lovely online friend through it! I've been meaning to go back for a while now to see how things have developed

差別的なことを言った（した）人に対しての批判が多数から行われた場合にそれを「叩かれている」とか「炎上」とか言ってしまうのは違うんじゃないか、問題を矮小化することに繋がってしまうのではないかと個人的には思っている。

これはもう全然言うと思う、何かの属性を貶めつつも、その属性を持つ人のいくばくかを指して「君は例外である、選良である、我々の仲間である」と示すことが賞賛と寛容に該当すると思っていること自体、差別的思想のひとつの特徴ですらあると言える

Please wear a mask at protests, or if you are near them and need to leave your home. Protect your identity and safety.

外国人どころかそれこそ東アジア・東南アジア系と仕事と半分プライベートで関わってた人間が差別的になるのを目の当たりにしてるので、「交流があれば改善する」というのは甘い考えではある。

“Tkhines” (For Florence Klein) In the Old Days, my grandmother said, Matriarchs had remedies for plague and dybbuk, For redeeming a sick person’s soul. The men’s siddur was not for us, she said. She put her faith in women’s arts. Tkhines. Supplications that bound community Living to the living to the dead. Women wove ritual Fought darkness and blight with song and thread. Ba’al shem came alone and alone went working wonders Through the Ineffable Name. But women, Their voices held together a superpower. See in this photo how our foremothers walk, she said, Right to left, two threads among three women Cemetery grass in their cold fists, inside the fence Measuring the graves by cotton string. String for wicks to make bright candles for the dead. Singing supplications to the lonely underground, far di gezinte, far di toyte. Linked arm in arm, weaving their prayer. Her modern ritual mirrored theirs, Yahrzeit candles for each departed relative making neat rows in the kitchen sink. Seven years since my grandmother’s death I have still A red bindle near my bed, a dish of salt in my kitchen. I take her advice: always close your books after reading. On holidays, leave jam for the demons, a sweet distraction. Touch the mezuzah as you enter the home, Then kiss your fingers, bring holiness to your breath. It’s Elul again. Early autumn. I think of the women measuring. Is her ghost among them, singing soft? For the living, for the dead.

人種差別や性暴力に関する報道で、最近「encount」というサイトを引用拡散している人を多く見てしまうのだが。
トランス差別/性的マイノリティ差別記事で有名なネットサイトなので……注意してほしい。引用拡散しないでほしい。持て囃してはいけないサイトです。

もっとまともな報道機関や団体による良い記事が既にあると思うので、そちらを探すように気をつけたい。

They made it up for explicitly racist reasons too

The beautiful new community room at the Halifax Common swimming pool also happens to be an amazing Covid-safer venue, at least in the warmer months. It has a giant glass wall that slides open, making the room a quasi-outdoor space shielded from rain by the roof overhang.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

A doodled black and white four-panel 2 by 2 comic. In panel 1, two characters standing next to each other: a square and a circle. The square has their hands on their hips and a confident expression as they say “I wear a mask to protect disabled people! At the grocery store, doctor, and pharmacy.” They’re speaking to a circle character who is wearing a face mask and looking at the square with a blank expression. In panel 2, circle gently raises their arm and responds with “Many of us have to go to more places than that. A lot of us work in public.” The square looks at them with a blank expression. In panel 3, the circle lifts both arms and raises their eyebrows at they ask “And what about the spaces we want [underlined] to be in? Don’t we deserve protection there too?” The square raises their brows with an uncertain expression. In the last panel, square leans forward and points to themselves and the circle as they say “Well I deserve some understanding and to not be interrogated by the mask police!”. The masked circle looks towards us, the audience, with a blank expression and bags under their eyes. Made by doodlesbycharlie.

not asking for perfection, but expecting consistency in your protection. if we actually care and we can, the list of places we mask won’t shrink, they’ll expand.

If you can’t be bothered to make your political work accessible—by using alt text, wearing n95s, considering mobility, etc—your political work won’t work.

Except for the fascists, that is, who count on us abandoning each other.

They don’t have to kill us if we’ll leave each other for dead.

One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

Okay, in all seriousness. One thing you can do is take the resources you have and compile the tldr for very offline people close to you, tailored to your locale. Obviously provide the original stuff but make a doc up front that briefly explains what the 3-5 numbers they may need to call are

I remember being one of the people who said things like “well, the Spanish Flu gave way to the Roaring 20s, so maybe COVID…”

Halfway through the 20s I think we can confidently say that’s not how things have turned out.

A bunny opens an old wooden door in his house, and a host of bunny shadow creatures flow out. They go along the walls and surfaces like real shadows, and are spreading out to fill the whole room. It is a dimly lit old home.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes
