I was afraid to ask the same thing.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you could teach a college class, what would it be?
2·10 days agoLiterature, cuz… Cuz that’s exactly what I’m studying. I’m studying to become a language and literature teacher.
Damn English pronunciation. No puedo con estas vainas.
The hell is “resisem”?
The thing is, to us, what you can do to help is so obvious that it feels like we’re being asked how to breathe.
Help your community, volunteer for a cause, don’t get involved in acts of hatred disguised as moralism or the defense of a national or ethnic identity, educate yourself by reading authors who are part of the minority you want to support, confront and accept the reality of privilege, etc.
But also, often the question “How can I help?” masks the real question: “How can I be a hero to your people?”. So I suppose that before one ask how to help, one should first ask oneself “Do I really want to help?” and be honest about it.
That’s the Imperialist Mentality: “Woke Edition” for you.
Nop! Not a single bit!
I doesn’t fit the pronunciation rules of most latinamerican countries, not even Brazil. I mean, How do you “say” that? what sound does the X represents? It’s like “LatinEx”? That sounds so silly! Like a Kingdom Hearts Villain or something.
If you want to be inclusive / non-binary, you better use “Latine” (La-ti-ne). That’s how the “inclusive language” works here.
Although, I argue that “Latino” is OK either way, since you’re talking about the collective from “LATINO-America”.
That’s the question from which fucked up shit start to happen, but let’s take it at face value.
In that case, you can look for a segment of the minority group that aligns with your ideals (because not all of us think the same way, we’re not a collective mind) and offer them your support.
Do you encounter, say, Latinos who support Trump? Leave them alone and offer support to Latinos who are critical of Trump; We’ll know how to use your help to take actions that benefit all of us, including those who are “wrong.”
As far as I know, the only people who love Henry Cavill-like super-muscular Superman are straight men.
As long as you don’t “correct” or act like you know better that minorities, you will be a good Ally.
Don’t say “I will help you!”, instead ask “how can i help you?”

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you deal with the reality of loneliness?
6·27 days agoI understand that feeling all too well. Do you really have no one by your side for those moments? It can be hard sometimes to tell the difference between perceived loneliness and “real” loneliness.
As an example, when I was a teenager, many of the times I felt lonely, I was actually isolating myself so as not to bother anyone. So, whenever something bad happened to me, I didn’t have anyone to help me.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you deal with the reality of loneliness?
25·27 days agoLearning to feel comfortable with yourself and to be grateful to those who are with you in the present.
Everyone gets off the train sooner or later, including ourselves. Don’t worry about it, just enjoy the ride and the company of the moment.

17·28 days agoI can only sing the “dun dun dun du-du-dun dun” part.
Oh look a that! Gravity, finally!
That reminds me of a bully from a movie or TV show—I can’t remember which one—that was about health and fitness. So when he goes to intimidate the nerd, he says: “And remember, your body is a temple. Don’t make me tear it down!” or something like that.
I feel more offended by the misgendering of the Gundam than the deep fry



Oooohhhh! Maybe that’s the one thing I was missing…
