so it looks like the safety pin thing has been co-opted by white supremacists. we need other, better ways to show solidarity anyway. wear an “i’ll go with you” pin, if you want that badly to wear a pin, or better yet, stand up for marginalized folks when you see them being harassed (online and irl). join an organization, volunteer your time, donate money, join a protest, if you’re able. wear a “black lives matter” or a “not my president” t shirt. there are so many ways to show solidarity and we need to get started now.

literally why i didn’t jump on my impulse to get that tattooed. Too fucking easy. Don’t wear the safety pin, guys, don’t give them foliage to blend into.

We had a straight up fucking nazi/klansmember complete with tattoos and a jacket with symbols and patches depicting the whole men in white hoods attacking black people- in our store yesterday, first lurking and trying to steal- and then when he came through checkout I was racing against the clock trying to manipulate the line in a particular way so our ONLY black cashier didn’t have to deal with him.

The girl who ended up cashing him out was sixteen and had no fucking clue, but I and the other girl knew what the fuck was up. My higher manager had her eye on him because he was being sketch but was like “I thought it was a costume”. Really, we’re in the middle of small town Kentucky, and the dude not only has the balls the step out of the house looking like that, his tattoos are faded and most definitely real.

What the fuck
