Why can't/won't white people (especially white americans) embrace their own culture?
In many circles both online and irl, I see ppl of the Caucasian persuasion obsessing over certain cultural dresses, religions, practices, philosophy, food, etc. I see this especially within pagan or "new age" religious and spiritual groups. As I understand it, lots of these people are looking to "find themselves." To escape the often Christian, capitalist, modern lifestyles and values they were raised under. My question is this: Why not actually look into your roots? If your reasoning for this major life change is that modern life is "too far gone" from what life should be like, why not look to your own ancestors and take inspiration from those cultural practices? Immigrants from Europe to America (like most other immigrants) were forced to assimilate and, in the process, watered down and lost their culture. However, unlike immigrants who may have been internally displaced, or whose home countries were already overtaken by colonialism, European immigrants still left their culture in their old homes. It's alive! Why not go find it?
My theory? The white guilt of colonialism is too great. They don't want to confront the fact that such a large portion of their ancestry was so cruel, and therefore, they steal the ancestry and culture of the oppressed.

The internet is not the only way out of those situations
No, kids should not have unsupervised acess to the internet. Yes, I got that and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Its a paradox.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
Are you overreacting? Or is that just the societal conditioning telling you queer people's comfort and wellbeing is secondary?
Stay sharp my friends
@poppytheaxolotl why are these the only jokes we know
as a phrase, “she [x] on my [x] til’ i [x]” only is funny if on either side of a spectrum. either the phrase ends so specific to a sexual action it’s a smart joke (for example, “she strogan me off til i beef” uses the word “beef stroganoff’ but also makes a “stroking off” joke, making it clever wordplay.) or it makes so little sense that it ends up funny from the absurdity of deciphering what type of sexual action could even be taking place. (example: when my roomate the other night asked to hand them a sanpelligrino and then said “she san on my pelli til’ i grino” which begs the question of what ‘sanning’ is, what a ‘pelli’ repersents in terms of human genitalia and what ‘grinoing’ could possibly be.)
Are we uneducated? Or do you just need to critically examine your view of language and race?
(spoiler, it's the latter)
why do black people use you in the wrong context? such is "you ugly" instead of "you're ugly" I know u guys can differentiate, it's a nuisance
you a bitch

I am writing to you with a heart full of hope and faith, asking for your urgent help. My family is in great danger due to the war, and I am running a fundraising campaign to save them.
Please, could you reblog the post about my campaign on my account? Every share can make a difference in my family's life. 🙏

Don't hesitate to save a family with children, women, and newborns from death and war.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you can provide 🌹🌺.

I have seen several people post the “my boyfriend is wearing a suit to his autism diagnosis” tweet about House. No? No. He would not. Girl you saw him at his psychiatric appointments. If he’s getting an assessment it’s because Cuddy is dragging him there kicking and screaming. He’d probably show up naked in his bathrobe as protest. “House you were supposed to be ready for this appointment, you agreed!!” House, naked in the tub: “I lied lol”. No suits no kings no gods. dick AND balls OUT at his autism diagnosis
