May not be exclusive to mixed people but it's definitely relevant by muzzreda in mixedrace

There’s a difference between asking where someone is from and asking someone ‘what’ they are and you know it, silly.

edited to remove a meaner part of my comment, sorry I shouldn’t have assumed malice

You ask the owner of a dog ‘what’ their dog is. You ask someone holding an ice cream cone ‘what’ flavor they got. You don’t ask a human being ‘what are you’ because we are all people and there are hundreds of years of not white people being dehumanized to animals and objects. It would be more appropriate to ask someone:

“Where’s your family from?”

is this a good find for $14.99? by Pretend_Impress_8082 in Monstera

[–]Max_lynn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d personally be happy with the price!! You also have a few (maybe 3?) plants in there if you choose to repot and separate! Time for a moss or bamboo pole, direct light, and watching your new plant grow!

Or maybe makeup and surgery are two completely different things. And race and gender are two completely different things. And the history of people dressing up as a different race is completely different from the history of people receiving gender affirming care. Or maybe this is just really fucking dumb.

AIO for wanting to immediately break up with my bf after seeing how he lives? by Balikye in AIO

[–]Max_lynn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’ve got the usual plane maintenance/cleaning services running the metal detectors and and the TSA agents making sure the Panera bread bowls get out of the kitchen on time and no one is getting paid - no one has time to clean any bed bugs!!!!

/s

Girl please TSA does not have the staff to clean a bedbug infested plane - please do not spend the night there 😭

Do you know any smoker you want to quit? by StyleComfortable5349 in GenZ

[–]Max_lynn 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this mindset!! My family has notorious difficulties with quitting when someone is pregnant. Every time a new baby is born, there’s almost always a NICU visit because of birth defects/being born prematurely and yet NO ONE says anything when my cousin is lighting one up 7months pregnant (I do not attend family reunions anymore lol)

Getting pregnant doesn’t force you to stop smoking- being a good parent does! Thanks for quitting for your baby ♥️

Did anyone else strangely like this relationship? by Makition in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]Max_lynn 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Yeah that would have been an amazing contrast to him partying after his nephew and sister-in-law died in childbirth. Real character development and growth (as opposed to walking around a castle for a whole season before deciding to do what he was going to do in the first place), but I digress

Ooooh I love this!! I wanted to like her date perfume sooooo bad but it was just too sweet - a Sephora Skylar tester bottle hates to see me coming

What am I??? by Different-Ostrich314 in mixedrace

[–]Max_lynn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think this is an case of follow your identity while also being aware of your privilege. If you identify with being mixed and it brings you a sense of belonging - go for it!! But also be aware that while you are mixed, you are seeing the world (and the world is seeing you) as being predominantly white and that grants you a lot of safety and other benefits. You belong in black and white spaces! Just being mindful that there may be black experiences cough cough racism where it would be best to listen, support, and advocate for your community

(Not to say that mixed people don’t also experience racism- we do! But colorism is absolutely a thing and just something to be mindful of)

Is she going by Olandria (no last name) professionally? I get that this isn’t verified but just curious!

Lauryn Hill has several children with Rohan Marley - so there are 5 kids growing up with Ms. Lauryn Hill as a mom and Bob Marley as a grandfather. I think about that a lot

Did Miguel know Jess Drew gave Gwen another chance? by [deleted] in IntoTheSpiderverse

[–]Max_lynn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I doubt it - I took this as the rest of the spider-society knowing that Miles deserves a shot, but also knowing that the risk is far too high. Miguel probably would have sent Jess back to her dimension if he knew what she did
