How infantilizing is it for these companies to simply pretend we are not speaking out against their anti indigenous practices? As though we are crying children who must be ignored to correct behavior?
Ya know I’m just gonna create a mass thread of companies/ people who have ignored indigenous requests to cease racist behavior or costumes. Starting with @Yandy
Me and JK Rowling; A Thread: I grew up not just with Harry Potter but down the road from JK Rowling, in Edinburgh. A place where it was easy to imagine the world she had created had come to life. Like most children and teens, I was obsessed with the books and couldn't wait for
each new one. Going past her house on the bus I would desperately try and peer over the fence. Reading interviews I felt inspired by her story, her clear love of Scotland and her struggles as a single mum. Like me, she seemed to be a true socialist at heart, and the books
reflected that too; they were full of stories about justice, love and kindness. I was perhaps a bit let down when I found out her kids attended private school, since Edinburgh has so many excellent state schools, mine being one of them. But she was still a hero, an inspiration.
