wretchedoftheearth:

I hate this idea that members of society are now totally equal and that racism and sexism in particular are so antiquated that it’s either liberating and refreshing or quirky and ironic to be racist and sexist.

That the world is so “PC” that people being disgustingly oppressive and horrible are somehow edgy, rather than just upholding norms.

so a lot of the dudes who made this shit popular in recent times - seth macfarlane, daniel tosh, the south park guys, dane cook - were all born in the early 70s, which is just early enough for the mainstream neoliberal push to be “”PC”” to have been very overemphasized during their formative years

problem being that being “PC” is not about any actual empathy or understanding, it is entirely about earning cookies and covering your ass

so because these dudes are so myopic and solipsistic, it looks like it’s rebellious to buck the disingenuousness of the culture they grew up in by saying exactly what they were told not to, because they were never actually told why they shouldn’t, like a little kid who does what you asked them not to for attention

and because there was never a “why” from anyone in a privileged position and the sense of entitlement is so thick you could cut it with a chainsaw the popularity of that humor is totally revealed by your answer to that ask - “wooo I can finally take a break from the usual and get to do what I really want”

because since “political correctness” never actually solved any-goddamn-thing and just made racism more secret and subversive, ~edgy~ humor lets people feel more comfortable about the shitty attitudes they’ve had the whole time while simultaneously believing they’re still good people

because all political correctness ever taught them was “don’t shoot Martin Luther King”

and because they’ve had those shitty attitudes the whole time it’s the easiest, laziest humor on the planet so every idiot gets to feel like they’re some awesomecool badass for saying the n-word or making a “make me a sandwich” joke

in short, everyone can gargle some bleach

DONATE HERE

Cathy Brennan, radical “feminist” terrorist, has set her sights on a young black activist in Baltimore County, MD. Phylicia Sampson is being taken to court by Brennan, a notorious harasser of trans women and their supporters. Sampson is a recent college grad with few resources, no car and no way to fight back without your help.

As a community, we’ve suffered Brennan’s assaults for a long time—her blog is the best known for outing trans women’s personal information. She believes trans women are men who are infiltrating the feminist community and expends her resources fighting them. The idea that she is now taking her harassment to a legal venue is horrifying. That she has selected a young black woman with few resources to fight back is repugnant.

We can’t let Cathy Brennan get away with this! Share Phylicia’s campaign on Facebook, twitter, tumblr and instagram. Here are some things you can do TODAY to help:

AND ALSO MORE POTTER TEA! WHAT A CRAZY NIGHT!

Draco Malfoy: [earl grey green, peppermint, almond] Outwardly smooth and charming, but perhaps a bit confused about what it wants to be. A tea that is sure to keep you guessing.

Cedric Diggory: [irish breakfast, chamomile, honeybush hazelnut] Simple, strong and solid, a tea worth supporting. Try not to get too many tears in your cup.

Neville Longbottom: [irish breakfast, rooibos vanilla chai, peach] Sweet, a bit befuddled, but all together warm and reassuring. A tea stronger than you’d expect, and endlessly comforting.

Luna Lovegood: [earl grey lavender, rooibos jasmine, guanabana] The sweetest, softest, warmest tea imaginable, with a wild, surprising finish.

This red silk court dress is beautifully embroidered in metal thread, and the details of it are definitely worth a look over on the Met archive website.
