Fun poverty fact: you will go for far too long without access to food and then when you finally have food you will gorge yourself in a frenzy and get sick.

All of my real friends are first or second gen so I feel like we should be able to relate but they’re also all solidly middle class at worst and I’m just. What’s it like not to be poor? How do I get the American Dream of a $60k - $100k income. Can I steal it.

can we stop pretending that gay and lesbian people have any institutional power over bisexual people based on sexuality alone please. like, we can argue for the benefit of bisexual people without slandering “monosexuals”.

Brown folks who act like they don’t have to unlearn anti-blackness are disgusting. If you grew up in America, you grew up in an anti-black society, no ifs ands or buts. But y’all stay slinging around the n word and acting like you have the right because we get called sandn*ggers, and instead of standing in solidarity and helping out black people, you’re the first to push them down and demonize them in order to climb up on their backs and reach a little higher. Keep lapping up those white supremacist myths: Allah will give you your reward.

When it comes to trauma everything that has ever happened to you is still happening; linear time is literally meaningless.

nasserelamine:

The conflict between Shias and Sunnis is political and making it apolitical is negating it in its entirety. Saying that the conflict is with regards to spiritual beliefs is reducing the historical nature of this conflict into nothing but quarrel among scholars and philosophers, which in and of itself is not at all bad or negative. But it is not a matter of theology or abstract spirituality that developed the conflict. It was politics, and the only way this conflict will be resolved and the sects could be reduced to just Muslims is if we are brutally honest about the past, about our history. People by the thousands have been killed, genocides have taken place, the concept of takfir was a death sentence.. If you think this isn’t political you need to come back down to earth. If you think that conflicts like this arise from differences like whether ‘God emanates or creates’ or whether the imams were infallible or not, or whether praying with your hands crossed is bidaah or not, you are delusional.

unpopular opinion: I don’t give a fuck about how “bad” rapists & pedophiles in prison are treated. I wish people would stop supporting rapists & pedophiles in the name of social justice, stop trying to make their lives better. if they are suffering, good they should.

Racist white women and sexist brown men are both equally garbage to me. I don’t have time for any of you.

fakespacegirl:

Hate doesn’t breed hate. Hate inspires anger in victims of hatred and that anger is called hatred to delegitimize it and villainize people. If you wanna help people who are victims then first you gotta stop acting like they’re just as bad their oppressors and abusers.

If you need HONY to see the humanity of those living in Iraq and Iran then what does that say about you, dear insufferably racist friend of mine. 

gharaajapardesi:

I don’t do the whole ultimatum thing often but any white person I see talking about how seeing posts about Ferguson gives them anxiety, it’s an automatic unfollow. This is what your country is all about, the destruction of black lives. You benefit from it every day. Grow the fuck up.

Darren Wilson, the officer who murdered Mike Brown, has raised over $11,000 from supporters in less than a day.

lilacghost:

This is unacceptable.

If you can, consider donating to help ensure that the children of Ferguson are kept fed or by donating to Mike Brown’s family for legal fees/funeral costs/etc.

lehaaz:

I don’t trust people who don’t have any sort of reaction to whatever is going in Ferguson/what has been happening in Palestine for the past couple of months/Pakistan/Afghanistan/etc. etc. like  there is one thing to be a political commentator and write articles etc. you need to know your stuff but it’s another thing to just simply show your sympathy/support.

vul-va:

You can have a brown president or a black president but the structural violence of the United States will not change. So you can drop your obsession with representation because the top brass of the country, no matter how brown or black, has its own class interests and will do anything and everything in power to secure those allegiances. You’re all idiots.

justanotherpalestinian:

White people praising Humans of New York for ‘humanizing’ the people of the Middle East… what the fuck did you think they were before? Terrorists? Savages? Extremists? Subhumans? It needed to take a white guy with a camera for you all to realize that our people are humans with lives that your fucking government destroyed.

To all of the people who complain about capitalism: Capitalism has many faults, but what is your proposed alternative? Communism?

yes

The food is ready. I wake the kids and bring them in. We all sit around five dishes: white cheese, hummus, orange jam, yellow cheese, and olives. Darkness eats with us. Fear and anxiety eat with us. The unknown eats with us. The F-16 eats with us. The drone, and its operator somewhere out in Israel, eat with us.
