Re: UO Thursday

  • @Peachy0709 most people who don't post pics do it because of facial recognition software from my experience.

  • @BigBadWolf12 - I would probably support that more, but we're talking about a lot of my friends who had babies 6-7 years ago, before we were all really thinking/aware of the software.  They just weren't going to share photos of their kids because their kids "can't consent" which is TOTALLY FINE, except they post a million and a half photos of the back of their head.  It just feels weird in those circumstances.  I do have a friend who has never once posted any version of her kid ever on social media, and I think that's just fine since she's sticking to her principles on it.

  • Even 6-7 years ago they'd only post the backs of heads? That is weird. All my experience is in the last 2-3 years.

  • @BigBadWolf12 So I went back to an artcile a friend posted, and it actually talks a bunch about facial recognition, so I suppose that's why at least one of my friends does it: https://slate.com/technology/2013/09/facebook-privacy-and-kids-dont-post-photos-of-your-kids-online.html

    I'm much more amendable to someone saying it's because of facial recognition software! That said, the friend who posted it has a million pictures of other people's kids' faces, so that's pretty uncool.

  • @lilmamabebe3 I am also a white woman. Idk that white people are so much the worst, no people are, as it is about the ingrained patterns of bias from the time we are children. Our history books are one example. But like you, it really makes me want to stab my eyes out when someone doesn’t just go oh me human. You human and you are being oppressed. I will help! Yea there are some Black people who are more privileged than others but that has nothing to do with the systemic and structural racism that our country was built upon to keep them down. It literally has nothing to do with that. 

    And @MamaK225, feminists. Those are another people that need to do better. We need to do better for Black women. They die more than we do giving birth because of lack of health care. It’s not even about access. It’s becaue they are Black. Also, so many Black girls go missing and are killed. They are also doubly discriminated against when it comes to our “justice” system. Feminists need to do better if they’re going to claim intersectionality.

    People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

    How I feel all of the time.

  • @jmesue1030 @heml ohhh, I may have to check this out! I love podcasts!

    @lilmamabebe3 @suzycupcake nothing I love more than a white dude mansplaining how white privilege (or male privilege for that manner) isn't a "thing"! /sarcasm

    Also @suzycupcake I am 100% with you on intersectional feminism. I help lead a local social justice organization targeted specifically to white, suburban moms and there is SO MUCH WORK to be done. We're actually hosting (not leading, we have a POC leading) a workshop on undoing systemic racism this month. I'm pretty stoked & hope things get real uncomfortable, because that's where the real change happens.

  • @lilmamabebe3 Sorry I get preachy, but it wasn't at you. 

    @hey_clever_girl That's amazing! Is the leader a BPOC? I'd love to hear about how the workshop goes. I should check and see if there's anything like that in my area.

  • @suzycupcake you're good! We have very similar ideals. I am very active in our local political community. So much so, that my republican senator basically sent me a cease and desist on emailing him about issues. It was a very professional but vile email telling me that my opinion did not matter and to fuck off, right around the Kavanaugh hearings. Being active is super important to me.

    Fake grape flavored things are delicious. Specifically, grape Gatorade and jolly ranchers 
    I am not normally a fan, but when I was pregnant with Pickle I was OBSESSED with grape Gatorade. I probably drank 12 gallons a day.
