"And then remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.

And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance, will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this. Try."

ORDERED my textbooks from #FabulosaBooks in the #CastroDistrict, & spent some time browsing as I always do when visiting bookstores. Y'all, getting to see so many LGBTQ+ books on display about our history & mythologies & stories was a balm for my injured aching queer heart. 📚🌈 #SanFrancisco #BookSky

three books held in my hand, splayed so three titles are all visible: "Body Work" by Melissa Febos, "Brotherless Night" by V.V. Ganeshananthan, and "Eros the Bittersweet" by Anne Carson.

I decided to stop doom-scrolling and be productive, so of course, I came across this while looking for a word that fits the eight-word definition in my head, and I'm just wondering if I should give up and call it a videogame/rest day, at this point. #amwriting #oligarchy #poppinupinmyfeedseverywhere

Word for mass oppression by smaller group of people.
Asked: 7 years, 11 months ago. Modified: 7 years, 10 months ago. Viewed: 1k times. 2 upvotes.

Throughout history there have been a few instances where a smaller group of people were able to oppress a larger group of people through fear, enslavement, etc. In most cases if the larger, oppressed group unified they would be able to revolt and free themselves. Is there a word specific to these scenarios?

I am not looking for a word that describes a form of governance.

Examples:
• Slavery in the United States (Plantations often had hundreds of slaves but few people managing them).
• Nazis in Germany (Only 11% of the population of most work camps consisted of guards).
• Ancient Egyptians (Were rumored to have thousands of Hebrew slaves).

"So read the books they're banning. That's where the good stuff is. If they don't want you to read it, there's a reason why."

A picture of LeVar Burton next to his quote from The View, which reads: "I'll be absolutely candid and honest, it's embarrassing that we are banning books in this country, in this culture, in this day and age. We have this aversion in this country to knowing about our past, and anything unpleasant we don't want to deal with. This is not going away. Nothing goes away, especially if you ignore it. So read the books they're banning. That's where the good stuff is. If they don't want you to read it, there's a reason why."

As a fellow coper who's currently cuddling with my own furry bff, I fully support you in your reality avoidance. We all need to care for our mental health somehow. 💙🖖 And, for anyone who needs a smile today: here's Frodo—a too smart for his own good, bff of every living being, & eternal optimist.💝

Here are some questions we writers should all keep asking ourselves as we write. Remember: none of us are going to be perfect. We all have blind spots, and knowledge assumptions that aren't always as common as we think / hope / would like. But it's worth the attempt every.single.time.

image of a Tumblr post. text reads as follows:

"why do i believe this" and "who benefits from me believing it" are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more
knowlesian
Jun 21, 2022
since this is on my dash again another two steps, a little harder this time
"who do i hurt when i do this?" and "could i look them in the eye, validate and acknowledge that hurt, and then keep doing it anyway?"
knowlesian
Jun 24, 2022
feels like a good day for another two.
"whose voice is missing from this story" and then "how do i seek out those voices/how does a story i think i know change when i add new perspectives"
