Let’s all take a moment of silence for anyone who has to work retail the next couple of months.. And please remember that as busy as the holiday seasons are, and you might be in a hurry, your cashier/other employees are working really hard to make you happy and also have feelings like you. 🙏🙏

An additional moment for those in packing, sorting, and shipping jobs, those who spend eight mind numbing, back breaking hours a day getting your holiday stuff to your house. The labor that goes into working at Amazon, UPS, FedEx, etc is miserable so please appreciate the work they do

Amazon is miserable this time of the year 😩

white women get so hurt when non white women talk abt european standards of beauty and realize that white women aren’t the epitome of beauty and then they go ‘wow so much for women supporting women’ like why should i support standards that made me feel ugly for the majority of my life?why should i care abt you getting upset over some text post on a website when you have a bunch of magazines that validate you?if you really believed in women supporting women you’d understand why those posts are being made and the context behind them and you’d scroll past it without adding some unneeded comment abt how your feelings are hurt but it’s very obvious you throw that phrase around to make non white women feel bad for making you feel uncomfortable and not bc you support the meaning behind it

look: the right people will get it. the right people will see you and appreciate you for the person that you are. the right people won’t require you to dilute, censor, or edit yourself in order to be worthy of their time and affection. you don’t need to waste your time on people who are committed to misunderstanding you 

since y’all love talking about big three privilege, here’s a look at their current status

leightaylorwrites:

sm – 

exo: given underproduced music for comeback album and repackage, relying solely on fan support to stay at the top because sm refuses to give them proper promotions

red velvet: having their unique sound butchered and losing fans to other 3rd gen girl groups because sm is hellbent on giving them cuter music so they can compete with the popular new groups (see: russian roulette and rookie)

f(x): where? all i see is amber’s vlogs

shinee: haven’t come back in over a year, somewhat due to onew’s scandal but at least taemin’s out here reminding people that michael jackson is alive and well, keeping shinee’s name alive so they don’t fade into obscurity 

snsd: nobody knows who’s still in the group, had one of the worst promotion cycles ever for their TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY. 

super junior: coming back but sm is doing 0 promo

nct: what even is their concept anymore? why is the seoul unit promoting in japan?? why are so many people still in the basement?

yg – 

blackpink: getting a reality show and apparently that’s supposed to make us feel better that they only have 5 songs???? why does yg hate women?

ikon: where?

winner: tbh i don’t pay attention to winner but i’m pretty sure yg’s fucking up somehow since i hardly ever hear anything about them

big bang: forever kings but after top’s scandal, we don’t know if they’ll ever come back as five again

jyp – 

day6: has grown in popularity this year but jyp still won’t give them the same chances and promotion as they give their idol groups

twice: overworked and need time off, no song between tt and likey ever happened why did jyp taint their discography like that

got7: had a comeback but didn’t go to weekly idol or after school club?? how can you have a got7 comeback and not put them on asc??? that’s their birthplace?? why did jyp have them drop a mini album and then forget about them two days later? why are they doing japanese promotions already? they just came back yesterday damn

yes. so much privilege. 

I am so tired of seeing posts like these on my dash. Every single time, it’s like y’all TRY to be obtuse and miss the point of discussions on privilege that Big 3 idol groups have. In fact, I could wax poetic about how shitty these agencies are, but THATS! NOT! THE! FUCKING! POINT!

Absolutely no one is saying these groups do not work hard or aren’t mistreated. What we’re saying is that the Big 3 has a level of influence and prestige that many agencies do not. If you must, compare being s Big 3 idol to being white in America. Is being white always peaches and cream?!?!?! Hell no!! Even as a black person, I can see the struggles that white people go through each and every day. BUT! Put a white person and a black person in the same situation, and you’re gonna have very different outcomes because of that white person’s privilege. The same shit applies here.
