Being part of the social justice culture or the “stay woke” culture, I usually thought that the main purposes were to:

1) Unlearn what was taught to you

2) Learn what was never taught to you

3) Educate those around you with the knowledge you have

But you see…

You will come across people that will ask questions that may sound problematic but they just genuinely are confused about the matter and just want to learn

I had a white girl, sweet as hell, that was curious about why White people can’t say the N-word but Black people can say it.

Now… If this was Black Tumblr/Twitter, y’all wouldve ate her alive and spit her out. Like, why would you ask a question like that????

I didnt take any offense to the question, because again, you have to educate.

I broke it down simply…

“Bitch was a term used by men against women… If you call your female friend ‘my bitch’, theres nothing wrong with that… but if a guy did the same thing to his female friend, that wouldnt not look too good…”

Then she understood! She doesnt like when men call her or other women bitches but she noticed how women call each other bitches (almost) all the time in a friendly context.

Some SJW ppl would resort to just straight ridicule. Like relentlessly roast you, and you just wanted to ask a question, get your answer, and just go.

I understand some people would come outta nowhere with smartass comments and deserve that roasting, im 120% for that, but yall really need to learn the difference between those 2 groups of people.

I remember saying/doing something problematic not too long ago. This guy just went off on me, called me stupid, and vaguely explained why what I did was problematic. When I asked for a more in-depth answer as to why it was an issue, he didnt want to explain, he didnt have the “energy” to explain but had plenty of energy to say what i did was wrong and i was stupid to do it.

To this day, I STILL dont know exactly what was wrong but I am avoiding that action for sure.

To cut it shortly for yall,

Some people genuinely dont know what they do/say was wrong. Some ask questions to learn and educate themselves. Relax…

Ridicule or slander shouldnt be a first option to everything, if anything, its more counterproductive. Not to mention yall do this for notes and attention on social media.

ALL. OF. THIS.

This shits still relevant

things tumblr needs to add:

• lockable posts (so you can make a post unrebloggable)
• when deleting a post, it deletes everywhere else.
• proper block button, if twitter can do it, so can you.
• proper reporting guidelines

also searching multiple tags at once would be wonderful

And the ability to track url tags with hyphens yes good

I reblogged this five years ago and literally, none of these things have happened. 

Sending asks from a secondary account

date when it was made next to the post/reblog

Being able to switch a side blog to make it your main

Being able to comment with a side blog

Ask with a side blog

Being able to use italics/bold in DMs and asks

i wish there was a button you could press that when you accidentally post something to your main Blog instead of your side blog it puts the post on your Side blog instead, so you don’t have to delete the post and re do it

Make mobile not complete shit in general?? Not all of us have working computers.

hell, for that matter make the DESKTOP version not complete shit in general

@pillowfort-io is working to make a blog site with the exact features mentioned by the OP. They have a Kickstarter with a bit more than two weeks left to go. 

@pillowfort-io if you can do all these things with your site, I will literally worship the ground you stand on.

Take my money! Take my first born!

Our Kickstarter page has a ton of information on what features we provide, including a link to a demo account where you can actually log in and explore the site first-hand! 😉 And better yet: We’ll let you keep your first-born. We’re generous like that.

If you’re a Non-Muslim and you see a Muslim praying in public, could you please not pass in front of them?

Go behind them, but not in front. 👍

Oh, signal boost! I didn’t know this.

Okay, but also: if you see a Muslim praying in public and they have something in front of them, like a purse or a bag or something like that, you can pass in front of them, but pass in front of that object.

it’s called a sutrah, and it’s meant to act as a physical barrier between the person praying and someone who might happen to pass in front.

Also, if you did this and didn’t know, please don’t beat yourself up over it. Now you know! Muslims aren’t supposed to pass in front of Muslims praying, either, because prayer is communication with God and you don’t want to break that connection.

Spread culture, respect customs, be good people. Simple as that.

Didn’t know this.

Reblogging again

THE AMOUNTS OF REBLOGS THIS HAS JUST MAKES ME SO HAPPY

S I G N A L B O O S T

Reblog forever ! 

Similarly, if a Jew is saying the Shemonah Esrei prayer (whispered, moving only the mouth, standing facing east with legs together) don’t go in front unless there’s a barrier.

^^^^

Wow, I didn’t know that! That’s really fascinating and a good tip if I ever do come across a Muslim praying. Thank you!
