[TW for Racism/Sharon Needles]

hellnosharonneedles:

This video was submitted anonymously by a Pittsburgh queer. Shout out to the Pittsburghers who have been fighting this battle for years.

This video shows Sharon Needles/Aaron Coady dressed in her attempt to mimic a geisha saying that she’s dressed up “somewhat like their people” and that she intends to make fun of a Chinese delivery driver. Luckily, the driver is white, which Sharon notes by saying, “Chinese people are late. Good thing you’re white.”

But yea, Aaron’s totally an ally and transgressive and blah blah vomit.

This actually made me go, “OH. MY. GOD.” out loud in utter fucking disgust.

What a piece of shit.

Racist bag of fucking dicks.

Why "douchebag" is an awesome insult:

When you call someone a douchebag, what you’re literally saying to them is,

“You think you’re so great, but your existence is actually totally unnecessary and your main function is probably toxic. Also you shouldn’t be allowed near anyone’s genitalia.”

What does revolution look like?

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 22:42:33 -0500

I’m friends with a lot of radical folks, who are actively working towards revolution. I like to include myself, but I often feel too pessimistic for revolution. I believe that the idea is really based in the notion that people are inherently good, and I simply don’t believe that. I’m all for a radical change in society, but what does that really look like? Is it dependent on our society becoming a utopia of sorts? I’m really curious about what you all think.

“Whenever a conscious Black woman raises her voice on issues central to her existence, somebody is going to call her strident, because they don’t want to hear about it, nor us. I refuse to be silenced and I refuse to be trivialized, even if I do not say what I have to say perfectly.”
