Halo-Halo w/ All the Sighs

thread 1/5
"Shaming is often a way of deflecting from the work you still have to do, a way of framing yourself as a “good ally” and others as “bad.” But allyship isn’t something you are; it’s something you do. It’s a lifelong commitment to fighting for a racially just world."

Halo-Halo w/ All the Sighs

thread 2/5
I'm gonna scream #4 from the rooftops, accomplices-to-be, even as I consider divesting myself of the term ally in general. There are folks who parrot us and do this and think they are being "good allies". It really doesn't help. There are some other common traps on the post I link to keep in mind.

I think number 5 ties into a lot of the dogpile posts lately, too, as well as 4. Folks are thinking they are being good accomplices-to-be doing 4 and 5.

More will probably go on this thread and/or in a separate thread later ad I take in more coffee, but yes. This mentality is contributing to making this site less hospitable and doesn't really help us much. It's also way too commonplace of a thing for accomplices-to-be to do.

Eh. They ended up being separate posts. I may like them up in a rewrite eventually.

I'm saving the links from the article. Being an ally seems like a worthy goal and guidance helps, but asking others to teach me is a burden I can't ask for. Having resources to educate myself helps.

I may make mistakes, but I am committed to allyship.

Exactly. We're all going to make mistales in the long run. Even me (I'm privileged in some areas after all...) It's what we do with them that makes the difference.
