Remember, EM POC only!
One year of Palestinian resistance…
I want liberation for all of the marginalized who still remain chained up by their oppressors.
That aside, of course, I’m hoping for some happy EM POC vibes this week!
I’m trying this new approach to my issues called the “thug that shit out” approach. Let’s see how it goes!
Today’s been a good day. I say this with the wholehearted knowledge that my life will be very different and yet all too familiar at the same time.
Finally had a proper conversation with my parents since I was alive.
No more hiding. No more “negative peace”.
I told them how I felt. How they treated me throughout my childhood and teenager years. The religious trauma. The corporal punishments.
My dad’s a tougher nut to crack but I think in the end he understood and respected my feelings. It feels like a whole chapter of my life just closed in an instant. Just from one talk.
I know that may be the optimist in me speaking but I think I can finally slowly move away from the past and look forward to the future.
I can finally be at peace knowing that my relationship with the family is finally moving to something I can be happy with.
13 year old me would have not imagined this day whatsoever.
My friend joked that this isn’t how “normal” Asian parents would have reacted. Well I wouldn’t know, my experience is that everyone’s parents are different. We won’t know until we try.
I guess I did live up to my childhood name after all - “the destroyer”. To ashes the trauma burns, and in the soot a new tree sprouts.
Funny that this had to take place on October 7. I guess I can say many good things have happened on this date.
the hurricane once again shows no body gives a shit about us, a few hundred Africans die in a flood and the most you’d get is a mention in a fast news segment, The U.S. gets hit a hurricane now suddely all international news are reporting on it
If I had a nickel for every piece of cognitive dissonance I’ve seen
On average, Americans commit three felonies per day (mostly unknowingly). If cops want to arrest you, they will find something to arrest you over. Whites think they’re perfect, law-abiding citizens, but they’re not. The law is selectively un-enforced towards them.
Hell, they illegally use drugs more often than non-whites. But non-whites are arrested and convicted more often by several orders of magnitude for drug offenses.
Whypipo don’t understand that arrest and charges mean different things too
Factos. So many saw the DNA evidence of breh that was executed wrongly recently and they still pulled the wool over their eyes
I think it’s really sad there are still BIPOC in America and “The WEST™©®” as a whole that don’t see what’s happening in Palestine as nothing but a more modern and extreme version of what happened to us. To me it just shows are a real lack of historical understanding. It just bums me out that there still BIPOC who buy into idea they will get into :“The club” if they just parrot what white liberals tell them.

One of the few true bars Michael Render ever spit, even if they make seven figures, they still what? They’ll learn. One way or another, the crackers will strip them of their illusions; because the crackers can’t help but lose track of their masks these days.
Hope you all have a good week. My partner got sick… really hope its not covid.
