Offensive things aren’t offensive merely because they hurt feelings - they’re offensive because they contribute to the societal harm of marginalized groups. The end goal isn’t to get everyone to love each other, it’s to destroy power imbalances.

that last post reminds me of a situation last summer. I took my daughter to a neighborhood park and i witnessed to white teenagers, a boy and a girl, who started a fire on the wood chips. They kissed and cheered, then got in their car and drove away while i was on the phone with the police. How weak and powerless do you have to feel to attempt to harm children?
guy:
Can I get everyone to REBLOG this please? I can’t imagine this ever happening to kids, especially at a place MEANT for them! Teens or a group of teens are doing this in playgrounds, please watch your child(ren) at all times! REBLOG PLEASE!
Saw this on Facebook just now
This is so screwed up. Everyone should signal boost.
it pisses me the fuck off how people could be so heartless i’m so angry
This is not okay. Whoever did this needs to be arrested. Just shows how weak and pathetic a person can feel to harm children to feel empowered.

Pretending what? If you think I am pretending then why waste time on me?
Many of us heard this from our parents growing up.

Over the past two weeks, we have been running a series of posts confronting the crisis of violence against Indigenous women and girls, to declare: #ItEndsHere. We are committed to eliminating all forms of violence within Indigenous communities, including violence based on gender and sexual identity and orientation. Please read and share these powerful words.
“First, I want to cite Susan Blight: ‘It is not about you being inclusive, [decolonization] is about you being included under our laws, relations, and ways of being’. The killing of Indigenous women is an extension of the genocidal practices of the colonial mother country and it is intended to eliminate the decolonization of Canada as a mother country. It is not simply about “ending violence”, the violation is the colonial order, that rests on our lands, our homes, our lives and kills either overtly [killing young women, slaughters our lineages forever] or covertly, assimilation, reconciling without restoring our nations. The people in this country need to own up: this is not Europe, Africa or Asia, it is Turtle Island. Political struggle is the struggle of one set of laws versus another. In this country that means our laws must prevail, our sensibility must prevail. We are all about “all my relations”, this is the centre point of our legal systems, everyone in this country, in order to be a ‘decolonized’ citizen must ascribe to this and protect the mothers of our nations and the future mothers of our nations, so that we may live within and transmit to everyone our laws and our relational teachings, that we may all live in peace. Anything else contributes to genocide.” — Lee Maracle

I’m not playing this game. I do not know who is and is not fake, but I also do not waste my time and effort on those who I think are liars. If I think someone is lying I do not devote my time to them. They become irrelevant/ignored.
