The way my brain just *casualllly* recollects things from 14 years ago like they were just yesterday I feel should be classified as some sort of neurological #microaggression. :/

"I do not use “#microaggression” anymore. [...] A persistent daily low hum of #racist #abuse is not minor. I use the term “abuse” because aggression is not as exacting a term. Abuse accurately describes the action and its effects on people: distress, anger, worry, depression, anxiety, pain, fatigue, and suicide.
What other people call racial #microaggressions I call racist abuse. And I call the zero-tolerance policies preventing and punishing these abusers what they are: #antiracist. Only racists shy away from the R-word — #racism is steeped in denial."

‘Pop feminism’ is the subject of Lily Alexandre’s latest video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=bmnsK74khNw
Not only does she expose the movement for the feminism-lite, protect-the-status-quo flash in the pan that it was
She also draws attention to the futility of situating the means of political change in awareness-raising and small personal actions
This applies as much to systemic gender-based oppression as it does to oppression of other groups, and even to issues like climate change
