god the bush fire situation is so fucking devastating as an indigenous person because not only is my home being fucking ravaged by fires and has been for months, but people only seem to care about the animals.
and don’t get me wrong, care about the animals! i care about the animals! they’re MY native animals, they’re part of my culture and home and they’re living breathing creatures.
but there’s so so so many things in place already to help animals, shelters and charities and sanctuaries, and by all means help them more, but the government does not care about aboriginal australians. shit, scomo doesn’t give a flying fuck about anyone who isn’t a white cishet able bodied christian.
aboriginal australians are losing our homes, you say people aren’t endangered but WE ARE. we make up a tiny percentage of our country, and a vast majority of us live in poverty and unsafe areas. not only are we losing our homes, we’re losing our identity, our lives, our families. this land means more to us than it ever will to people crying over the koalas. the koalas mean more to us than they ever will to you.
remember who lived alongside those animals for thousands of years.
there’s a million things i could say about why we need help more than the animals, but in the end white people will care more about what’s small and fluffy than people of colour, especially people whose land they’re living on, right?
(id: a picture of the sky clouded with smoke from the bushfires, the top half is black and the bottom half is red and orange, with the sun in the middle. it looks very similar to the aboriginal australian flag, and was taken minutes after sunrise on january 1st.)
dudebros and terfs who act like alluka’s gender is inconsistent/confusing are so fucking stupid. alluka is canonlly trans and it’s not “left open to interpretation”. it doesn’t even take one braincell to see how killua, the closest family member to alluka, views and treats her as his sister. this isn’t an abstract concept. it’s spelled out for you. the only reason why the other zoldycks use the wrong pronouns is because *gasp* they’re toxic. there was literally an entire arc that established how abusive they are. not to mention they don’t even treat alluka as a human being in the first place. so like, why would you ever take their word over killua’s? if killua says alluka is a girl you fucking accept it. he knows her best and alluka equally loves killua the most
