not kidding. i wish i was. people love to pick holes in these things, ugh.
People have to hear about this stuff and they have to think about this stuff because that's how people will maybe decide to do something about it
exaaactlyyyy. this is why, when an issue comes up that bothers me, i don't stay silent about it - even if people think i'm overreacting or making ~a big deal about nothing~. there is nothing WORSE than complacency. how does anyone think we're ever going to reach ANY point of understanding our own privileges and recognising the importance of human equal rights if no one stands up for things that matter?
i'm so glad this article has gone viral around the internet. for once, a lot of people seem to be GETTING IT (well, those that aren't questioning the legitimacy of it, that is).
