“I Didn’t Like That Intersex Person/trans Masc And What They Were Saying, So I Aggressively Called

Hey everyone! I'm here to make a callout post for @aroallothoughts . They have been policing others identities, been inherently acephobic, spreading misinformation, encouraging discourse, and supporting negative stereotypes. Please find a better aroallo blog! This user has been incredibly rude and illogical. Block him! I would reccommend @aroallo-corvid instead!

Can I have everyone’s attention please? Especially Australians

Sign Petition EN7163 - Asylum for Gender and Sexual Minorities from the United States

There is a petition imploring the Australian government to take in LGBTQIA+ refugees from the USA. Given the rapidly worsening political situation over there, I want to at least give this a go. I don’t have any illusions that it will get through to the people that need to see it but I want to try anyway.

The petition closes in 8 days; if you aren’t Australian, please do me a solid and pass this around. Reblog this if you can. Thank you.

About me

I'm an artist/author whose mind give me stories from the most absurd origins you could've think of!

I am aroace so my stories will often have aro, ace and aroace characters. I do showcase more aromanticism within my stories as my aromanticism affects me more than my aceness and I do want to see aros be more represented and recognised within media.

I have a personal website, a strawpage, a bluesky and an a03 account for my artistic projects. New accounts to platform my stories will be further updated.

That's all their is to know about me, enjoy!

María Elena Moyano Delgado (November 23, 1958 - February 15, 1992) was an Afro-Peruvian community organizer and mother whose assassination by the Sendero Luminoso sparked a public outcry bringing attention to her work and the plight of economically marginalized women.

Born in Barranco District, Lima to Eugenia Delgado Cabrera, a laundress, and Hermógenes Moyano Lescano, She had six siblings. She completed two years of Sociology at Inca Garcilaso de la Vega University in Lima. Her experiences amongst community women shaped her approach to organizing and politics.

She became involved in church groups before expanding her reach into secular community organizing. She was active in the Movimiento de Jóvenes Pobladores, elected in 1986 and 1988 president of the Federación Popular de Mujeres de Villa El Salvador, and elected deputy mayor of Villa El Salvador in 1989, serving until her death. She spearheaded the organization of public kitchens, health committees, various income-generating projects, education, and the Vaso de Leche program, which provided daily milk to impoverished children.

She found herself and her people caught in the middle between two hyper-masculine and violent factions. The Sendero Luminoso, a Marxist-inspired movement, and the Peruvian state under President Alberto Kenya Fujimori Inomoto implemented draconian neo-liberal economic reforms.

Her concern remained with Villa El Salvador women, not ideology. She considered soup kitchens a form of public grievance and saw the political in the personal. She was committed to improving the material conditions on the ground.

Her advocacy gained the support of Lima’s mayor who instituted and expanded Vaso de Leche. Fundamentalist Sendero Luminoso resented attempts to improve the conditions of the poor, they assassinated her in front of her family, dragged her body to the nearest town, and blew it up with dynamite.

Her mother accepted the Peruvian Order of Merit for Distinguished Service on her behalf. She married Gustavo Pineki (1980) and they had two sons. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

what abled ppl think is a massive problem for disabled folks: 13 year old on the internet faking something

what is actually a massive problem for disabled folks: "well you don't LOOK disabled, are you sure you're not faking? I'm not giving you accommodations until you PROVE you're not faking. Please give me, a stranger, your medical info and explain your condition to me in detail so I know you're not faking and only then will I respect or take you seriously"

BLACK ERASURE IN ARGENTINA

Argentina is Blacker than it likes to admit. “Mexicans descend from the Aztecs, Peruvians from the Incas, but Argentinians descend from ships from Europe,” so goes an old saying that encapsulates Argentina’s perception of itself as a nation of White Europeans that never had Blacks. Afro-Argentines formed almost half of the population of Argentina in 1778, but an evidently systematically implemented anti-Blackness policy reduced them to 30% of the population by the time the country gained independence from Spain in 1816.

Several decades of racial politics and alleged extermination campaigns followed where they were slowly yet steadily wiped out and their rich Black culture erased from the nation’s collective consciousness. Today, statistics show Afro-Argentines form a paltry 0.4% of Argentina’s total population, making it the Whitest country not just in Latin America but the Whitest country outside of Europe.

Evidently, there were no racially-oriented laws in Argentina, such as South Africa’s apartheid or the Jim Crow laws in the United States, but the country created a lot of obstacles that prevented Black people from accessing lands, the labour market and education. Over the centuries, Black and indigenous people chose to strategically increasingly mix with and pass off as White to escape marginalisation. Some of the country’s biggest stars can trace their lineage back to Black slaves. However, compared to other South American teams, the all-White, always-White roster of the soccer team must have piqued your curiosity.

This Whitening process was attempted throughout much of the Americas, in places such as Brazil, Uruguay as well as the United States, when the American Colonization Society set up Liberia as a home for freed slaves. What makes Argentina’s story unique in this context, however, is that it successfully pushed to build its image as a White country. Ex-president Domingo Faustino Sarmiento once said towards the end of the 19th century that it would be impossible to see Blacks in Argentina unless one travelled to Brazil. African Stream’s Brenda Mwai lays out the case.
