Anyway this is why I keep saying that people refuse to be normal about the idea of mixed race people and interracial relationships and communities happening and creating children.

I am black and black only until it is convenient to call me white. And it doesn't matter that I'm also native because I'm too black to be native anyway. I've talked about being multi-racial and having even further racial mixing in my extended family since I made this blog in 2014 but that doesn't matter if any of my racial mix can be used as a weapon against me.

Y'all complain about the stereotype of the tragic mulatto without understanding why that stereotype exists in the first place.

I think it was Hafu (Japanese documentary about its mixed race population) but I always liked a quote from this Japanese/Korean guy in which he says he is not half but both.

I'm not part anything. I am all three. I am not half (a third). I am both (all of them). There is no such thing as half a person. I am not only partially allowed to acknowledge my people.

All of them are my people.

Followers helped me find this quote 🩷

ID: "I am not 'half Japanese' and 'half Lithuanian Jewish." When I'm singing a Japanese folk song, I don't sing with half my voice, but with my whole voice. When I'm taping together my grandparents' Jewish marriage contract, worn by time but still resilient, it's not half of my heart that is moved, but my whole heart.

I am complete, and I embody layers of identities that belong together. I am made of layers, not fractions."

I think it's important to let guys be gender non conforming without telling them they're a girl, cause actually misgendering people is still shit even when you are pro trans. "You're a girl, an egg waiting to crack, and that's ok" how about you are a boy and a man and it's still ok if you want to do something that doesn't align with traditional ideals of your gender. You can still be he/him in a skirt and makeup.

"If you wear pink/like floral scents/write with gel pens/whatever then you're a girl" is not the progressive statement that some people think it is.

And vice versa, "I don't like pink/floral scents/writing with gel pens/whatever so I'm not a girl", isn't either.

It's also pretty invalidating to tell men that shit because it implies that trans men aren't men if we are still into stereotypically feminine stuff. (Hell, that kind of thing is what kept me from coming out when I wanted.

Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?

Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.

When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). They’d always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.

I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.

I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) I’d still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.

Anyways. Be chaotic. It’s more fun that way.

from iww.org: "Good Work" Strikes One of the biggest problems for service industry workers is that many forms of direct action, such as Slowdowns, end up hurting the consumer (most of them also members of the workering class) more than the boss. One way around this is to provide better or cheaper service -- at the boss' expense, of course. Workers at Mercy Hospital in France, who were afraid that patients would go untreated if they went on strike, instead refused to file the billing slips for drugs, lab tests, treatments, and therapy. As a result, the patients got better care (since time was being spent caring for them instead of doing paperwork), for free. The hospital's income was cut in half, and panic-stricken administrators gave in to all of the workers' demands after three days. In 1968, Lisbon bus and train workers gave free rides to all passengers to protest a denial of wage increases. Conductors and drivers arrived for work as usual, but the conductors did not pick up their money satchels. Needless to say, public support was solidly behind these take-no-fare strikers. In New York City, I.W.W. restaurant workers, after losing a strike, won some of their demands by heeding the advice of I.W.W. organizers to "pile up the plates, give 'em double helpings, and figure the checks on the low side."ALT

& also sorry to continue yapping but i gotta add onto this. people only ever really do this with korean or japanese names, SOMETIMES chinese names depending on the context or what theyre into and i think it shows just how deeply white people do not care about any of us at all. they dont care about south asians or southwest asians or central asians (hi im mixed turkic thats me) or southeast asians or even north asians they just want their east asian fantasies. not only is their weird fetishisation disrespect enough but they push it even further when they make it abundantly clear that they think only a very select amount of cultures are worthy of their weird roleplaying "hi guyyss my name is (asian name) >_<" bullshit
