And now for something completely different: more comments reposted from elsewhere (including but not only other Dreamwidth journals)

( an interestingly phrased question, old technology I use , 'the twentieth century,' being out as queer and poly, non-gendered relationship term to include 'aunt' and 'uncle, white women and white privilege' )

A worthwhile post (political)

Tue, 02 Oct 2018 20:51:05 GMT

My friend minoanmiss has some good things to say about racism, sexism, and the ways they make it difficult but important for her to speak, and be heard, in many contexts. The post is also about tumblr and MCU fandom, but that's not why I'm pointing to it.

But one of the issues Black women face is that, as a group, White women tend not to listen to us about being Black and Black men tend not to listen to us about being women and not many people from any other groups are listening to us at all. It's a fun position to be in. Of course, one of the conclusions to draw from this is to consider who needs to be heard whom I can listen to in turn.
