"We wish to speak with your seventh son."
"I only have six sons."
"Impossible! Are you not, yourself, a seventh son?"
"I am."
"But you have only six offspring?"
"No, Merle, my daughter-"
"Dad," Merle said, "they speak truth. I... I haven't told you, but... I am your seventh son."

@Lumb protip: forgive me father for i have sinned and punish me daddy i've been naughty ARE interchangeable

@compufox @alexis i mean lbr the more suspicious it is the more likely it is to be legit, what with the folx 'round here

the tldr takeaway is: dear authors, creators, and so on...

if you're including fat people only to use fatness as visual shorthand for "bad person", just don't write them in.

i would rather watch a thousand things with only skinny people in it than suffer through another jackass's unexamined fatphobia.

if you were planning to do this, consider: don't. and consider: don't not just include that character, but don't fucking CREATE. don't speak a word until you sort your pathetic shit out.

@velexiraptor @witchfynder_finder @tarzanboy@mastodon.social look if it's dicks u can tell which one's attached to who & play favourites. it's be an inherently rigged game

Some ad on Facebook: What's your biggest concern about the socialist takeover of America

Me: That it's not happening fast enough

You can just give characters pointy ears. You can and you should

hot take: if your society “did reparations” and afterwards the aggrieved parties still suffer from wealth and income inequality, you did *not* in fact do reparations

Also, just the rent crisis. There is nowhere in the country where minimum wage covers rent

Better names for "the homeless crisis" or "the housing crisis"

The landlord crisis
The speculation crisis
The private property crisis

Your ethnicity is not "white" 

You may have been told that it is, but it is not. "White" is not an ethnicity.

White is a social construct. Our notion of "white people" is nothing more than an outdated concept, created for the purposes of oppression and division. The entire idea of race is no different, and stems from imperialism. It has no valid scientific basis whatsoever. It's divided humanity for centuries, and still does.

There are 87 distinct European ethnicities, like Basque, Faroese, Croat, and Dane. There is no single group called "white".

But you know what kind of people use terms like "ethnically white"? Nazis.
