#Civility is how all #colonial #exploiters tried to control & #indoctrinate #BIPOC folks, around the globe.
They called us #savages.
They were always the only real savages.

I’m not a fan of Thomas Kinkade’s art, but I’m very pleased with this statement from the Kinkade Family Foundation:

“On July 1st, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted a photo on their social media accounts accompanied by a Thomas Kinkade Studios painting. The use of his artwork was unauthorized, and we have requested that DHS remove the post, and we are consulting with our counsel on our options. 



“At The Kinkade Family Foundation, we strongly condemn the sentiment expressed in the post and the deplorable actions that DHS continues to carry out. Like many of you, we were deeply troubled to see this image used to promote division and xenophobia associated with the ideals of DHS, as this is antithetical to our mission. We stand firmly with our communities who have been threatened and targeted by DHS, especially our immigrant, BIPOC, undocumented, LGBTQ+, and disabled relatives and neighbors.”

Who Was Pat Parker?

Most feminists know of Audre Lorde, but one of her closest friends is often lost between the lines of history: Pat Parker.

Words for the colonized unwise -> Please fuck all the way off with your personal PR statements about supporting Indigenous sovereignty, when you're still double dipping into colonial capitalism, financial benefit pools, with both of your bare feet, so to speak.

We see your hypocrisy, two-faced muthafuckas.

Would some people be willing reply with artist profiles or links that they like or would like to support?

I would like to commission profile art and likely other things down the road. I am looking for work from marginalised groups, and I like to be open to all kinds of styles (not necessarily digital). However, I don't enjoy anime/manga art or sexualised content.

P.S. I tried deviant art, but it's giving me choice paralysis. Responses with links to other sites / good search pages are also appreciated.

Are there any other non-white-European people from the region of #Karlsruhe and #Strasbourg in my timeline ? I'm looking for other #Kurdish, #Arabic, #Indian, #BIPoC etc. people to maybe get to know closer because I miss spending time with other non-euronormative people since I moved here !

(I'm sometimes just annoyed by all my friends having only their European sight on the world. That's why the uncommon search.)

#Writers and #Authors, I love how my #writing, #querying and #IndieAuthor discord is shaping up. We have plenty of SFF, #LGBTQIA+, #neurodiverse and quite a few #ChronicallyIll and #disabled writers and authors.

But I'd love to see more writers from my neck of the woods, and #BIPOC writers from anywhere in the world (I'm also hoping to find a BIPOC co-admin).

So let me know if you'd like an invite, especially if you're an Aussie/ Kiwi/ Islander, Asian (or based in Asia) or BIPOC writer!

If anyone's interested in a #Writers & #Authors Discord...

Mine is one big community when it comes to #writing, #querying and being an #IndieAuthor.
Within that, we've got channels to help the following writers/ people connect;

Have you ever felt that little quiet ache, like a Kuchisabishii i.e. a lonely mouth, not for food, but for real #connection? I know I have, and I believe many of us do too!

Here's my #manifesto, freshly recorded just for you! It's a promise about why I exist, the amazing future we're building, and who we're building it for.

This is for anyone who wants to turn those "awkward blocks" into "awesome breakthroughs" and find truly joyful, meaningful friendships and #partnerships specially for our incredible #BIPOC and #LGBTQ+ communities!

At Good Partner Technologies, we're making it happen with new, fun ways to learn about inclusive intimacy.

Ready to hear our vision for a more connected world?

Press play and let's explore this together!

To all #MAGA claiming #AlligatorAlcatraz is not comparable to #Auschwitz: #Trump is locking up #immigrants / #BIPOC in tents in flood prone swamps in a hurricane corridor right before hurricane season is an attempt to write off their resulting deaths as an "act of god." He is avoiding culpability.

Here's my hot take on why #MAGA hate us #Queers, #NeuroDivergent people, #BIPOC etc just being ourselves. That's why. We're being ourselves. Their culture is based on the belief that u earn ur keep by being someone you are not. We r proof that they have wasted their lives on a pointless endeavor.
