Should have TW/CW for sa/rape Sorry folks, havent read this in a long time so forgot what line of thought i had
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news folks, but activism takes many forms and being exclusionary and having a superiority complex against disabled activists doesnt make you a good leftist or activist
Disabled activists are just as important, and frankly are often completely ignored, excluded and looked down on by abled leftist activists who think them being at a physical protest is the height of 'real activism'
Disabled activists get far too much shit for not doing 'real activsm' Im sick of it Being disabled tends to put certain limitations on you and what kind of activism you do, but we use what we have at our disposal - which often isnt much
Another one i wrote for @ungagged.bsky.social On bias and section 28 I may not be a big youtuber but i do what i can with what i have leftungagged.org/2020/11/30/s...
Humans gointae human🙃
And i dont exclude myself from any of this, im still a white woman no matter my other marginalisations, and whiteness always comes first Im not judging yous from on high, im just dealing with *my own* white privilege And if you dont like that, door is always open 🚪🚶
and white victim complex - no doubt i'll rile some of yous up with that, but aye, thats the fuckin whole point lmfao White people are fragile as fuck Especially white women who think we are owed some kind of carte blanche for doing no work on our racism, white supremacy and because we're women
And you know, i dont know a lot, i observe patterns and can be cery introspective but im not perfect either Thats ok Nobody is asking for perfection, but the least white people can do is try harder, put aside our ego and fragility
No matter what creed, color, or sexual orientation you come from, if you have survived everything, that means you have resisted. We are so proud of you.
White leftists are the most biased from my observation, just full of them, white supremacy in action 🫠
Just some egs, White people have racial bias, cis people have gender bias, men have misogyny, abled people have abelism etc etc Not a single one of us is bias free The point is to address them
Challenging your own side, your own biases *specifically* in left activism is vital Because those biases are our biggest limitation to progress and equality imo And not a single one of us is free of biases Its what most of my blog pieces are about 🙈🙉🙊 jojostoday.blogspot.com/2020/12/cogn...
i am also a hireable research consultant, Indigenous people are out here to professionally check your work! no need to look silly
The title of that video alone is crazy. It’s not that she can’t do research but genuinely I think the last voice I want to hear talking about indigenous genocide due to US colonialism is a well off white British person.
It was never the right time to be phoning this shit in without paying attention to anybody involved and 2025 is even more the wrong time for it.
If this video essayist understood that then she’d understand why “Indians” and land bridge theory are inaccurate, she’d use the names of the Nations, which sometimes reflect the relationship to land, she’d understand that those Nations have creation stories that reflect that ancient relationship
It’s convenient, for example, to do a land acknowledgment or to critique land acknowledgments instead of supporting Indigenous peoples’ activism that protects the land in question, to know what treaties govern that land and what your responsibilities are under them, to centre land in what you do
There is a very real phenomenon where folks who would identify as liberal (sometimes even left) will speak about and for Indigenous people and not interact with a single Indigenous person or will stop listening the exact moment we contradict something they think about themselves or their society
The world has a ContraPoints and a "Temu" ContraPoints. 😖
Obviously as a cis person its not my place to call her out directly , but as a white woman, im just not going to sit quietly while another white woman onnthe left abuses her platform and hurts people Its a minefield but im not adverse to those lol
I get it, its really uncomfortable calling out your own side/people in your own marginalised community, but thats lifr, we have to do grown up things that are uncomfortable and dont feel good to do Otherwise we are no different to maga cultists And wtf wants to be like thay!?!?
Aye people are now comparing them, which ftom what little i know of contrapoints, is fair rn
I really do expect better from HER. I deleted my original tweet because I got her confused with Contrapoints and wow, you've fucked up if that's happened
Yiiiip😐 if youre inspirimg an entire discourse because of racism towards Indigenous people, you probably need to do an apology video and take some time to work on yourself a bit
She felt like she was the authority to make this video and didn't know to do THAT much?
👇 Its an abuse of the platform and power
Im really shocked tbh, i dont watch her vids often, do follow her, 3 days and no apology is not acceptable
I started watching a new crime drama ive not seen "loch ness" enjoying it but so so tired i needed to go to bed for a bit, went to sleep in minutes, not lije me unless im extraordinarily tired Woke up feeling pretty rough😭
Also apparently theres zionism too I havent watched it, im not giving it the clicks, but white supremacy and zionism is a very big 🚩🚩🚩
Im pretty concerned most people arent calling her out for it That isnt a good sign about the state of the left and its work on white supremacy and racism 😕
Like, I mostly liked the video, but “Indian” isn’t a term most of us like or use except ironically (or occasionally when dealing with official agencies that still have that name) & the land bridge theory is very much debunked. You should have talked to some Indigenous people.
You called us a slur the entire video.
3 days of this
Hey just to double check Did Abigail Thorn seriously do a fucking video where she calls Native Americans "Indians" and then release it on Al Gore's internet And on top of this, somehow got Jonathan Frakes but not a single indigenous person? How? How the fuck does that happen?
Its pretty bad folks, and it needs called out Its cowardice and hypocricy to ignore racism, white supremacy and general shittiness from your own side because its uncomfortable to call it out Our comfort as white people *needs* to be challenged
Indigenous Trans people exist and make content. Follow them instead.
this is about abigail thorn.
when you give thomas fucking jefferson more of a voice in your video than modern Indigenous ppl actually living their cultures and lives today, you are STEALING that opportunity from them and benefiting from their absence JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER WHITE COLONIZER DOES.
if a white creator with a large platform wants to make a video essay about the history of the Indigenous ppls of Turtle Island and the entire video is just them talking to a camera instead of letting an ACTUAL INDIGENOUS PERSON speak for themselves, that's just online colonialism in action.
Any white british leftists want to say anything on abigail thorns latest bout of racism? Or are we all pretending it didnt happen?
She literally uses air quotes when calling the Israel actions "a genocide," and argues that Jefferson's genocide of the Indigenous population of Turtle Island "didn't work" because he didn't kill all of them. She's a twat. Source vid: youtu.be/phuxcVHe7kY?...
![Aka Abigail Thorn, another liberal Zionist who explains in her video, “And I’m sure some of you will be drawing parallels between the process that the United States went through with the American Indians [aka genocide] and the process Israel has gone through with the Palestinians since it was founded in 1948: illegal settlements, crimes by settlers tolerated by government, American presidents saying they just want to move in and take over the land—our question for today is, why is America the way that it is? And today in America, many people are protesting the actions of the Israeli government. You may have heard people describe Israel as a settler-colonial state” (quoted in Quarantine Collective’s “Why I’m done with PhilosophyTube”; timestamp: 18:24).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d2545ppta4lpznhyjvs4tl6p/bafkreiby32dwwuggjifk75y7d3jlh3ixs2nwng2pcb6fw4j3yymn3iivrq@jpeg "Click to view full size")

British nationalism good Scottish nationalism bad Got it👍
Encouraging british nationalism in a time of instability, racism and attacks on marginalised people seems about right for this labour government Despite the fact that it can , and usually does, lead to violence and escalation of that violence
Ive got a wee stonebaked pizza in the fridge, think i'll make that for breakfast, get my coffee and either go to stardew or go into an audiobook I need a break from online and the screen, my eyes are hurting👁️👁️
I take solidarity seriously, and while i cant exactly 'do' much, one thing i can and will always do, is call out white leftists for white supremacy, colonialism, racism and generally shitty allyship of Black, Brown, Asian and Indigenous people We all should be doing that
Many people have said this long before i did, most of them were Black, Brown, Asian and Indigenous women I owe my solidarity to them, they are owed our solidarity as fellow women, as marginalised women and as the backbone of the left and all progress and equality any marginalised people have

Nice! I had emdr, musta been earlier this year i finished My cptsd is extremely complex lol so it only scratched the surface but i found it very helpful
Been trawling through them again after avoiding them for months Because it takes a toll, on my mh, to expose myself to it I dont do itfor funzies, id much rather not have to look at it, i left twitter to get away from it It was wearing me down Anyway, all that tosay, i shpuldbe posting some soon
But it is extremely draining, when youre already disabled and have mi spending years knee deep in the most vile hate and bigotry, just so you can get the receipt in the hope it may be useful to somebody some day or may help in even a small way Just last nigjt, and the last few nights ive...
Not a fan of crowds myself # anxiety cptsd agoraphobic 😁
Ive spent years, almost every day, since the anti trans moral panic began a decade ago, fighting the transphobia, racism and abelism in the scottish left I could have easily sat back and did and saud fuck all. As some have I will keep doing it as long as i can
❤️ Sometimes its hardas therrs always other leftists thinking because they go to a physical protest or march theyre doing 'more important' activism than us housebound people But some of the most prolific activists i know are disabled and dont go to many physical activist circles
Everybody does their best. Posting plays a vital role in dissemination information such as calls for evidence. It plays a vital role because anyone can come up with a good idea. It plays a vital role to say "you are not alone". It plays a vital to....you get the point.
White supremacy in left activism is a huge problem amd we need to stop pretending its not
This very much includes white supremacy, racism and white priv
The jane fonda m*rder stare People really moved on from this too fast Deny Defend Depose

Its abelism to attack disabled online activists for online activism I do this because i have to, i dont get paid, i get the occasional thanks for a post or or blog piece and thats always really nice, and i really appreciate it💝 but it doesnt pay any bills Disabled people are doing our best💕
Our power is saying NO. Challenging and resisting. If you are too cowardly to do that, or too privileged to think you need to, you are the problem
As ive said b4, if youre not calling out your own, youre doing f all, whatever groups, political parties or marginalised communities youre in Its on us to call out bigotry in the left, pretending its not there is tje same as doing it
Whats it matter anyway, somebidy else always has the receipts, its not like im paid for it either🥲
I have an obsessive need to hoard info, used to ve paperwork, but everythings online now, so its phones, pcs, laptops, hard drivers and usbs that i have all filled up Sometimes i think about just deleting it all
It doesnt look good at mo, hoping she will take it down/edit out the slurs
I reaaalllly need to clean up my phone storage 😭 Between cat photos and screenshots of the most horrible bigotry, its currently unusable🫠 Sometimes not sure why i bother tbh, not like my hoarding receipts is doing much, except make my own mh worse🤕
I will never understand marginalised people who dont do their best to show solidarity with other marginalised people Quislings sadly exist, i know that, but i just dont understand them
But being marginalised as a white person is a very different experience to be marginalised as a Black, Brown, Asian or Indigenous person Its why intersectionality is so important 2 people can share a marginalisation but skin colour makes it a whole different experience
Its literally how we show solidarity, by empathising as a marginalised person with other people who are marginalised in different ways to us
Being marginalised yourself isnt a carte blanche for wilful ignorance or bigotry It *should * in theory be a good reason to empathise with other marginalised people and be willing to show solidarity Whatever your marginalisation
www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/... Theres a lot of reconsidering taking place.
Actually archaeologists will be able to tell I'm a woman from my feminine grave goods
Its on us to listen, to do better, to put in the effort Being wrong isnt a crime, its not something to be ashamed of, its just how we learn But wilful ignorance and pride that stop us learning are not just wrong theyre dangerous To OURSELVES nevermind anybody else So its worth putting ego aside
Ive learned so much from marginalised people online And im thankful and grateful they are willing to take the time and spend any emotional labour on teaching us But But its OUR job to learn, not their job to teach us
I dont always get it right, tbh i get it wrong a lot more than i do right Its a learning process but you *have* to be open to accepting when youre wrong, putting the ego aside, listening and learning from people who know more than you
No clue how white women think we will ever achieve equality without also showing solidarity with Black, Brown, Asian and Indigenous women😑 Intersectional feminism, it matters, and deconstructing our whiteness is vital to feminism
I was wrong, its THREE days later and still nothing
To fellow white women, cis and trans, if you arent advocating and showing solidarity with Black, Brown, Asian and Indigenous people, youre not doing a single thing worth calling yourself a feminist or an activist Step outside the white privilege
Absolutely sickened by that And 2 days later, nothing, despite Indigenous people calling her out over and over If you have a large platform and privilege and dont use them properly, you dont deserve them
Jesus its 2025, if youre trans, you of all people should fully understand the gravity of slurs and the real harm they cause But, whiteness always comes first
Theres no excuse good enough as a researcher, who makes money from the work you do and the subjects you use for your videos, to be doing white supremacy and talking over marginalised people If you can afford a star trek actor you can afford to hire Indigenous people for a video on Indigenous people
White women are, in many ways, worse than white men As a marginalised group, but still white, our whiteness always comes first Its not difficult to be better allies for Black, Asian and Indigenous people, its just inconvenient And as we are white women, we dont like inconvenience 🫠
Jesus fucking christ you cant actually make research videos for a living, as a marginalised person, and then do zero research or inclusion of the marginalised people youre talking about and expect no challenges or call outs
Oh my god fucking whote women, even being in a marginalised community currently under attack isnt enough to negate white privilege, racism and ignorance😑 What the fuck is wrong with white women If Indigenous people are telling you not to use a slur against them DONT USE A FUCKING SLUR
Will we go an entire philosophy tube without calling native Americans Indians? Tune in to find out
Hey colonizer, if you're not Indigenous, don't call us "Indians." What the hell is wrong with you?
Fuck girl #wearestillhere maybe touch dirt and talk to real indigenous people before making such an ass of yourself.
...so upturned it failed to detect the obvious stench of white elitism?
Please. If you can't *clearly* say that *israel's* genocide is bad this late in 2025 then what is even the point of this sort of thing?
Girl how the fuck do you fuck up something as simple as not calling Native Americans "Indians" Abigail are you this fucking British? YOU DID RESEARCH FOR A VIDEO ESSAY AND STILL CALLED THEM A SLUR WHAT THE FUCK
You put in the effort to get Johathan Frakes but you couldn't bother to figure out you were using a fucking slur the whole video?
This video really proved to me that white progressives would rather die than consult a single native person on anything Calling us Indians and spreading the land bridge theory in the big 25 fr? I see how it is
Maybe cause of the slur in the title and use of said slur within the video? But what do I know, I'm just a white person that shouldn't speak over indigenous people on their own oppression. You'll bite, but didn't at all give a flying fuck to read the replies of indigenous people here?
I swear if you say Indians one more time referring to indigenous people and me I'm going to fucking scream. We're NOT Indians. We are indigenous people. "Indian" is a slur. And refers to entirely different people of ANOTHER settler colony.
I had a reply about this when I first watched the video on Nebula, I see you have not corrected it Land Bridge theory is debunked Its disappointing seeing someone who frames themselves as an educational channel present blatant & racist misinformation as uncritical fact www.cbc.ca/news/science...
why are there no Indigenous ppl in your video? why are you speaking for them instead of stepping aside and giving them access to your platform, your viewers, and your pull? why does thomas jefferson have more of a voice than actual, modern, living, culturally-connected Indigenous ppl???
It's very clear you've hurt a number of indigenous people with this one. I hope you are taking the time to sit with the discomfort and internalizing the feedback being given to you.
