‘fandom and/or activism and/or whatever space is doing things like religion (a word I’m using here to mean christianity)’
^these type of things always use a super internal idea of what the hallmarks of Christianity are and then also frame themselves as outside of those attitudes which is so surreal to read cause it’s such a different idea of what Christianity entails than people who actually aren’t Christian have of it.

I know this damn website is so Americanised but PLEASE reblog this! Transmasculine people in the UK have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for shipping from America. This could change all that.
Support your UK trans community. Reblog this. Get the word out.

The idea that racism will die out with the white baby boomers is a myth perpetuated by white millennials who do not want to take action and responsibility for calling out racism in their own generation. White millennials are not inherently less racist than white baby boomers and racism does not disappear with a generation. Racism is a construct that exists in all aspects of society, from politics to economics to social norms and activities. It can only be eradicated with constant and fervent dismantling of these powerful constructs in place and new generations must keep working at it. I’ve heard too many fellow white people say that when all these ‘racist old people’ die off then we’ll be fine but we all know that racism is not limited to old white people and that the alt-right is littered with white millennials. Check your friends and family on bigoted and racist remarks. Be a good ally. Sitting back for old people to die is not good allyship and you’ll soon see that they are not the only racists in power.
In short: Racism will not die on it’s own… we have to actively kill it.
Pride glitter!
In general, I think we need to move away from the premise that being a good person is a fixed immutable characteristic and shift towards seeing being good as a practice. And it is a practice that we carry out by engaging with our imperfections. We need to shift towards thinking that being a good person is like being a clean person. Being a clean person is something you maintain and work on every day.We don’t assume ‘I am a clean person therefore I don’t need to brush my teeth.’ When someone suggests to us that we have something stuck in our teeth we don’t say to them ‘What do you mean I have something stuck in my teeth—but I’m a clean person?!’

A friend of mine pointed out that every part of Overwatch Lore sounds like something Troy and Abed on community would come up with
Tonights borderlands highlight: me literally screaming in surprise when coming across a level 61 loot midget.
We were level 52.
It wasn’t pretty xD
You screaming scared me more than the loot midget
Me: I’m just going to shut this door and run away
From the wiki:
“The Meat Popsicle in T-Bone Junction is always at least level 61 even in Playthrough 1. Once the player reaches or passes level 61, his level will scale to match the player’s. As players are likely to encounter him before reaching level 61, this Meat Popsicle is a nasty and deadly surprise for them at the start of the DLC.”
So he’s there because fuck you I guess
